Stilyan said: "As soon as the fifth brother came, he was in the limelight, and the second brother and I met the people of Hegis on the mountain, and it was the fifth brother who made a move to destroy the enemy. ”

"Oh?" Shi Chi looked at me with some surprise and asked Shi Diyan: "The sword god is in the army, do the soldiers know?" ”

Stilyan smiled, "I'm afraid it's spread all over the army by now." ”

Shi Chi nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "I'll make the decision for your grandfather, you will stay in my vanguard camp, and as soon as the army arrives, the first battle will depend on you." ”

I had no choice but to say, "That's fine, I won't be able to go back today anyway." "After a period of flying just now, I feel that my sword qi has also been consumed a lot, and I will definitely not be able to fly anymore.

At that moment, someone arranged to live in the military tent, and Stilyan accompanied me in to chat a few words before leaving, I couldn't help but ask him: "Big brother, why is the second brother against me everywhere?" Didn't I stop him before? "This really makes me suspicious, if Stilwell used to look down on Stitchai because of his waste wood, then now I am a dignified sword god, but he is still cold-eyed, which makes me wonder.

Stilyan said embarrassedly, "Well...... Your second brother is a quick temper, and he may be a little inconsistent with your Wen Tun surname, but he is not bad-hearted. ”

I said depressedly, "Am I tepid? ”

Shi Diyan smiled: "I just found out when you said this, Fifth Brother, you seem to be very different from before. ”

Speaking of which, I was afraid of revealing a flaw, so I had to give Stilyan out of the way.

Lying on the marching bed, listening to the exchange of drums outside, the soldiers coming and going to summon passwords, I had mixed feelings in my heart as if in a dream, not long ago I was still in the 21st century to open my own small inn, every day bored, but now I am in the midst of thousands of troops, suddenly there is a sense of absurdity, I have been in the federal continent for more than a month, I don't know if the father of that world is a little worried about seeing me missing, I think of Lao Wu, Jin Chengwu and Xiao Qian, and I don't know where they are now, how they are doing.

In a daze, I seemed to be asleep, and suddenly I was awakened by a horn, the horn sounded three long and two short, stopped for a moment, and then sounded, the footsteps outside the tent were mixed, the soldiers heard the horn and all automatically got up and gathered, I rubbed my eyes and came to the tent, pulled a running soldier and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I didn't wear armor, and the soldier didn't know me, so he hurriedly said, "Are you new here, the horn is three long and two short, it's an enemy attack!" ”

I was startled and hurriedly ran after him, and when he saw that I was running around without a weapon or armor, he broke down and said, "Which battalion are you a recruit egg?" ”

At this time, Stilyan said loudly at the door of my tent: "Fifth brother, where are you, fifth brother?" ”

I waved my hand and said, "I'm here!" ”

Stilyan pushed aside the crowd and came to me, and said eagerly: "Come with me, the enemy army is coming!" His own soldier gave me a horse, and I rode with him, and the soldier who had just spoken to me stuck out his tongue in fright: "It turned out to be a major general." He immediately said to him: "The fifth young master of the Shi family, isn't that the sword god?" ”

I followed Stilyan to the outside of the Chinese army tent, 500 personal soldiers with a torch to illuminate the open space outside the military tent as bright as day, the partial generals of each battalion have arrived, Shi Chi dressed in a military uniform and immediately stepped forward, the spies in front of the horse came forward to report, Stilyan stepped forward and said: "Father, how is the enemy?" ”

At this time, there happened to be a report from the Malays, saying that the Haggis army was slowly advancing to this place from a distance of 10 miles, and the number was unknown, but at least more than 50,000.

Stevench said: "More than 50,000? Do they want to launch a general offensive? ”

Shi Chi said: "I also wonder, it is said that the Hegis army is in a low ground and it is not good to attack, even if it wants to attack, how can it wait for the reinforcements to gather superior forces." ”

I asked, "Is the topography so important?" ”

Stilyan said, "Important! Large-scale impact on the plains, in the lowlands, unless there are many more troops than the opponent, it is a taboo for soldiers. ”

Shi Chi waved his horsewhip and said, "Follow Ben to the front to take a look." ”

Shi Chi led a group of generals Pegasus to the front of the military formation and stood quietly, 300,000 troops were assembled and lined up in an orderly manner, with 5,000 archers on both sides of the formation, 100,000 cavalry in the formation, followed by infantry pressing the formation, we are standing at the height of a vast Gobi at the moment, looking down at the slope although it is not big, it is enough for the cavalry to charge.

I put my hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and then I also laughed dumbly - it was the third watch in the middle of the night, and the pergola was used for a fart, and the torches behind us were almost in flames, and the fiery oil stars made a crackling sound, and the 300,000 troops made the biggest noise was not the sound of human voices or horses, but it was the sound of the torches burning, I looked at both sides of the team, and the fire extended to the end of the line of sight, like a huge firewing bird spreading its wings and soaring.

The frequency of news from the Malays is getting higher and higher, and the Hagis army is slowly approaching, 10 miles, 8 miles, 5 miles...... As the distance got closer, the opponent's march speed became slower and slower, and when they were still three miles away, the tanma did not return for a long time, and the enemy seemed to have no news.

Stilwell sat on his horse and said restlessly: "Father, the other party can't be a suspicious tactic, why is it getting slower and slower when things come to an end?" ”

Shi Chi said unhappily: "Where are all the military books that you usually read?" Dejan, you tell him why. ”

Stilyang said: "There are two kinds of surprise attacks by the army, one is to surprise and quickly attack, the most important speed, and the other is to suppress the opponent with superior forces, in order to make the other party know the difficulty and retreat out of the area we want, our two armies are far apart, and the number of the other party is large, saying that it is impossible to sneak attack, Chen Zhiyuan knows that we have already prepared, so he does not seek speed, the army charge is imminent, he has to accumulate manpower and horsepower, and he will have the spirit to fight after a while." ”

Stilwell blushed and said, "It's really said in the war book, but I forgot." ”

Shi Chi said: "It's not that you forgot, military books and actual combat are originally two different things, no matter how much you read military books, the first time you go to the battlefield, your head is all left behind, this is also human nature, you will see the world more in the future, and there are still you who are easy to learn." Speaking of which, probably because he was afraid that Stilwell would have an inferiority complex, he was really relieved. When he saw me writhing back and forth on horseback, he scolded: "Di Zai, you also listen, you will all have a place of use in the future." ”

I grinned and said, "I don't lead troops to fight, I'm only responsible for being my decoration." "I have a hippie smile on the surface, but in fact, my heart has begun to get anxious, I twisted back and forth not for no reason - after a day of flying, I found that the sword qi could not be gathered at this moment, but I didn't dare to tell anyone, I don't know how to fight anymore, I know that many people are pointing at me, once the news is made public, it is equivalent to shaking the morale of the army, in front of the two armies, the military spirit is greater than everything!

At this time, Tanma reported that the enemy army was less than two miles away, Shi Chi waved his hand and said: "The whole army is ready!" The herald behind him galloped and reminded the soldiers loudly that the archers had removed their quivers and stood at their feet to adjust their bowstrings.

I looked down hard, and saw that there seemed to be a large black mist surging in the shadows on the opposite side, and at the same time I felt the ground trembling slightly, which was the resonance of the large group of people and horses when they moved, although they did not gallop fast, but the momentum was just as amazing. The more I looked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and I scratched my head, and the black shadow got closer and closer, and the armor of many soldiers was already shining in the moonlight, and from my point of view, it was like looking at the sea in the middle of the night, sparkling, and the heads of people were like waves, and two miles, that is, a kilometer, on this plain was already equivalent to meeting each other—I suddenly knew that something was wrong: the lanterns and torches on our side were as bright as day, but there were also tens of thousands of people moving on the opposite side, and there was not a single lamp, not a single torch! If this is to avoid their whereabouts, it is simply nonsense, the flow of horses before the battle is endless, we are already waiting on the high ground, Chen Zhiyuan should also know that their deeds have already been exposed and can no longer be exposed, is it ridiculous for him to want to cover up like this?

I couldn't help but ask Shi Chi, "Why don't they light the lights?" ”

Shi Chi laughed and said, "Did you just find out?" ”

I rubbed my head and said, "I've always felt that something was wrong. ”

Shi Chi said: "Have you ever heard that the people of Haggis like darkness? ”

My heart moved, remembering what she said to me when I met Su Jing for the first time, the Hegis people love the dark, they put a bead on the highest Black Osguna Mountain between the two continents in order to let this bead cover the sun, they attacked the city under the cover of darkness and took advantage of it, the sword god is my previous life to split the Black Osguna Mountain for this talent, so the muscles collapsed and died.

I said, "I like it, I like it, but can they see the road clearly without lighting a torch?" ”

Shi Chi said: "Most of them have the ability to see things in the dark, and I haven't heard of the people of Hagis getting lost at night." ”

"What's the reasoning?"

Shi Chi shook his head and said: "I don't know, it probably has something to do with the geographical location, or maybe what kind of medicine the people of Hegis have been taking since they were young." ”

I said, "Wouldn't it be a loss for us to fight?" ”

Shi Chi said: "At the beginning of the battle with Haggis, the attack they launched was at night, but fortunately, we have accumulated so many years of experience and have been prepared-" Shi Chi said loudly, "Put on the lights!" As soon as he gave the order, he saw a lot of soldiers take out a rack of strange things woven from bamboo strips from their bags, and then brace them with both hands, prop them into a cylinder, and then light the sawed candle and put it at the bottom of the cylinder, the cylinder is heated to produce hydrogen, and slowly rises into the air one by one, and 1,000 people in the Hong Lie Army are responsible for this matter, and thousands of paper lamps are placed in the air without much effort, and they see the stars in a radius of more than ten miles, and suddenly the brilliance is everywhere...... I was surprised and amused, and couldn't help but say, "Kong Ming lantern? ”

Kong Ming lanterns have been made, which I didn't even expect......
