"Sit down!" Luo Rou pulled me to sit on the floor and leaned quietly into my arms. (

In the faint moonlight of the last quarter moon, no one spoke, and we sat quietly. At this time, two lines of poetry suddenly came to mind in my heart: "When you are silent in the middle of the night, silence is better than sound at this time." ”

Under the moonlight and in the chirping of insects, I gently hugged Luo Rou. I don't know when, our lips kissed together, and we didn't want to part for a long time.

"I'm so scared...... Luo Rou muttered, "The battlefield is really terrifying, as soon as you close your eyes, you will think of those people, those who were smashed to pieces by the cannon......"

I kissed her hair and said, "There's me!" Don't be afraid ......."

Luo Rou's voice trembled a little: "It's useless, it's useless, no matter how much your martial arts are used, you can't withstand a shot...... I'm scared...... I'm afraid to be separated from you...... I'm afraid ...... in case."

To be honest, the shock from those cannons was really not small, but at this time, how could I show my fear: "It's okay...... It's okay...... I said that I will always be with you, we will avenge the master, and we will go to Hainan to see the master, and I will ask the master to agree to marry you to me! I'm reluctant to die, and I won't let you die......"

Luo Rou's face was slightly red, I didn't know whether she was scared or happy, and a few tears fell from her eyes.

"Brother, kiss me......" Luo Rou said softly.

We sat quietly, hugging, and kissing until dawn.

Although Ruan Zhaoqi is a handsome talent, he has a very short temper, his personality is similar to He Ruitian, but when he is different, He Ruitian is just a general. Knowing that the sneak attack plan he had painstakingly arranged failed, losing more than 20,000 troops, and being reprimanded by his master, Li and his son, he still endured it. On the third day, his messenger arrived, and his attitude was extremely arrogant, and if our army had courage and were men, he would fight to the death the day after tomorrow on the open land ten miles south of Chongzuo.

If it weren't for Kang Yan blocking everyone and saying that the two armies would clash and not kill the envoys, the more than 20 people in this messenger would probably be trampled into a puddle of flesh.

Kang Yan did not refuse, and the two armies immediately agreed to fight a decisive battle the morning after tomorrow.

After the envoy of the Annamite people left, the holy decree of the capital arrived, in which he praised Kang Yan for his meritorious work in suppressing the bandits, and hoped that he would continue to make persistent efforts to pacify Annam.

After being settled in Chongzuo City to rest, the generals from all walks of life gathered in the camp to discuss the big battle the day after tomorrow.

Jiang Song said bluntly: "General, if our army is still conducting coordinated training and goes into battle before the training is completed, I am afraid it will be disadvantageous to our army......

Duan Yonggang immediately said: "The Annan rats have all ridden to our heads, you listen to what they say, look at what they wrote, if the general doesn't agree, then what face do we have to take the court's money?" You can't be scared, right? ”

Jiang Song is the general of Qinfeng, and his official position is far above Duan Yonggang, and he was robbed of all by him at this time, and his face was flushed with anger, but he didn't know how to refute it, because the more he explained now, the more people would feel that he was afraid of war and cowardly.

Jiang Song couldn't say anything, Kang Yan couldn't let Duan Yonggang be presumptuous, and shouted loudly: "Bold, dare to collide with your boss, do you know military law?" Come! ”

The man in charge of the punishment in the army immediately crossed out and said, "Here! ”

"There is no commander, what should I do according to military law?"

"According to the law, he should be punished with twenty military sticks and seven days of confinement!"

"Okay, pull it down, and do it according to military law!"

Duan Yonggang knew that he had violated the military order, so he fell to his knees and didn't dare to say anything.

Everyone tried hard to persuade each other, but Kang Yan just didn't allow it.

Zheng Haoliang said: "Seeing that the big war is coming, the general is the time to employ people, it is better to write it down first, and it is not too late to punish him after the decisive battle!" ”

Zheng Haoliang, as Kang Yan's deputy, the power is only under Kang Yan and Jiang Song, he spoke, Kang Yan had to give him a face, and said: "Okay, since all the generals are interceding for you, I still need you, then the confinement will be spared......"

Jiang Song hugged his fists and said: "General, please open the net, General Duan has the courage to fight, and the last general admires it very much, he didn't mean to contradict me, but he was indignant that the enemy army was rampant and eager to fight, so he was confused for a while." At this moment, the war is on the way, and the general will be punished in battle, if it is spread, I am afraid that the soldiers will be suspicious and the army's heart will fluctuate, please see the general's past merits, and spare him for the time being! ”

Kang Yan saw that Jiang Song also helped Duan Yonggang intercede, so he had to say: "Since General Zuo also intercedes for you, then for the sake of General Zuo and the generals, this fight is temporarily recorded, if you make great contributions to the decisive battle the day after tomorrow, you will say it as soon as possible, otherwise, double the punishment will not be lenient." ”

"Yes, thank you for the general's legal punishment!" After Duan Yonggang kowtowed, he admitted his mistake to Jiang again, and after thanking everyone, a small turmoil passed.

Kang Yan cleared his throat and said: "After this period of training, our army's tacit understanding has been greatly improved, and I have carefully observed the weather conditions, the morning after tomorrow will be full of red clouds, when the Annan people attack in the sun, the line of sight will be greatly affected, the time and place are on my side, even if everyone is the same, our army's chances of victory are far above the enemy, so I agreed to fight the enemy the day after tomorrow." ”

Everyone exclaimed, and they all felt that if it was as Kang Yan said, the day after tomorrow would definitely be a complete victory.

I secretly said in my heart: "This is the real handsome talent, not only familiar with military books, but also knows the heavens and geography, I am too far behind a monk who has become a monk halfway." ”

"It's just ......" Kang Yan waited for everyone to slowly calm down, and then said: "The people of Annam have always been cunning, Ruan Zhaoqi and wise, I am now worried about what tricks the enemy army will have......

Kang Yan came to the huge map and said: "Everyone, please see, if we have a decisive battle with the enemy, we will inevitably withdraw the soldiers and horses scattered to assist in defending the city to Chongzuo, and then the garrisons in various places will be weak, in case the Annamites have any tricks, they will attack from other places, relying on the original garrison on the border line, I am afraid that the front line will be broken." ”

Jiang Song looked at the map and said: "What the general said is reasonable, looking at these two battles, it can be seen that this Ruan Zhaoqi is not incompetent, and he has to be vigilant to prevent him from attacking the west." ”

Kang Yan studied the map again and said: "Let's see, there are 100,000 mountains on the left side of Chongzuo, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the army is inconvenient to move, so it is unlikely that the Annan people will work from the left." On the right line, the terrain is relatively flat, if the enemy breaks through from the right, attacks Debao, and then attacks Tianyang after success, Tianyang these rear fronts, our army has very few troops, as long as the Annan people take Tianyang, take advantage of the terrain to go south and attack Nanning. And then with the cooperation of the enemy in front of us to carry out a north-south flank attack, how can the little Chongzuo defend it? I am afraid that these hundreds of thousands of people will all die here. ”

I looked at the map again, and I felt that it made sense. Kang Yan immediately ordered that the defenders of Jingde, Jingxi, Tianyang and other places should withdraw to Debao to strengthen the defense of Debao, and at the same time put a cavalry battalion on the front line of West Daming Mountain for mobile deployment. He then ordered additional sentries on the border, and if the Annamite made any changes, he would report back immediately.

In the following days, Kang Yan, Jiang Song, and Zheng Haoliang became extremely busy, they were not busy training troops, nor were they busy formulating tactics, but took turns to go to each battalion to boost morale. The training has stopped, the food has also increased, and if the soldiers do this every day, I am afraid that the whole country will not find a man to plow, and everyone will rush to the army. It's a pity that everyone can't be happy now, and some people even feel like chewing wax in the face of sumptuous food, because they all understand that the day after tomorrow is the time for a decisive battle, and whether they can save their lives after tomorrow is still undecided. Many people, standing in long lines at the paperwork in the army to help soldiers write letters, said what they wanted to leave to their parents, wives and children, turned them into letterheads and sent them to their hometowns, which may be the last words they can say to their families.

Luo Rou and I chatted with the officers and soldiers in the camp to keep their morale high, and in the evening we went to the small uninhabited mound outside the camp to talk about some small love stories.
