The execution ability of regular soldiers is naturally not trivial.
In the evening, nearly 2,000 Nanyang troops led by Ji Rong were stationed on the spot and set up a military tent with the army.
After that, these Nanyang soldiers began to bury the pot and cook, while talking and cursing the black tiger thief who had defeated them today.
The love of the robe is not something to be said casually.
Today, the Nanyang army lost 93 people and more than 200 were wounded, this battle damage is actually not serious, but it is enough to make the soldiers of the whole army full of anger and anger, and they are eager to immediately kill all the damned bandits on the mountain, which not only comforts the souls of the dead robes in the sky, but also vents the anger in their hearts.
As Qu Hou, Hou Wu walked around the camp, nodded slightly quietly, and immediately came to the tent used for the wounded soldiers to recuperate.
The wounded soldier, that is naturally more hated the black tiger thief, when Hou Wu has not yet entered the tent, the wounded soldier's tent is scolding, noisy, it seems that everyone is scolding the black tiger thief.
Hou Wu walked into it.
"Qu Hou."
"Qu Hou."
Noticing Hou Wu, the wounded soldiers in the tent and several soldiers who took care of the wounded soldiers, they all opened their mouths to greet and salute.
"Let's all lie down."
Seeing that some of the wounded soldiers were struggling to sit up, Hou Wu pressed his hands and motioned for them to lie down again.
He smiled and comforted the wounded soldiers: "Don't think about anything now, take care of your injuries, and if you need anything, let people inform me." β
As he spoke, he instructed several soldiers who were taking care of the wounded.
Under his comfort, the wounded soldiers were very moved, or some people said with a little excitement: "When I heal my wounds, make those damn thieves look good!" β
Hearing this, the rest of the wounded soldiers in the tent spoke up one after another.
Hou Wu nodded quietly: Morale is available.
Veterans who have experienced the battlefield know that the morale of the wounded soldiers also affects the morale of all the soldiers of the entire army to a great extent, so comforting the wounded soldiers has always been the top priority.
After a while, Hou Wu came to the tents of other wounded soldiers one after another, and comforted the wounded soldiers one by one, and after pacifying each wounded soldier, he went to the Zhongjun tent to see Ji Rong.
"Partial general."
After getting permission, Hou Wu walked into the tent and hugged his fist towards the partial general Ji Rong and said: "The last general has already comforted the wounded soldiers, and the morale of the wounded soldiers is generally not low. β
"Hmm." Ji Rong nodded, and then said, "You will tell the battle situation you experienced today as it is." β
"Yes." Hou Wu hugged his fists, and then once again recounted the experience of leading the army to attack the mountain today.
During this period, Ji Rong crossed his arms, sat on the bed and listened carefully, or thoughtfully, until Hou Wu finished speaking, and there was no big reaction.
Seeing this, Hou Wu cautiously accosted: "Partial general, just the last general's personal intuition, this gang of bandits...... I'm afraid it's extraordinary. β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Rong glanced at Hou Wu, although he didn't speak, he also recognized the judgment of his subordinates in his heart.
You must know that his Nanyang army has 300 casualties today, and how many casualties did the black tiger thieves on the opposite side have? Optimistic estimates may not be able to exceed ten people, which is close to the casualty ratio of thirty to one, which makes Ji Rong a little confused.
Even if he fought against the Jingchu rebels, his Nanyang army had never reached such an exaggerated casualty ratio, and if this matter was known to General Wang Shangde, Ji Rong could not guarantee that General Wang would be furious because of this.
Of course, Ji Rong also saw the clues.
The most fundamental reason for today's exaggerated casualty ratio of 30 to 1 is because of the strange road in the mountains.
The black tiger thieves on the mountain deliberately built the mountain road narrow and winding, and then attacked them with the advantage of geography, on the other hand, the soldiers of his Nanyang army could not exert their due strength because of the difference in terrain.
Thinking of this, Ji Rong secretly regretted it: he knew that he should send scouts to the mountains to explore the bottom first.
It's no wonder that he didn't think of it before, after all, how many thieves in the world would build this kind of mountain road in front of their homes? It's simply unpredictable.
After thinking about it for a while, Ji Rong Zhengse said to Hou Wu: "Hou Wu, you should rest for a few days." β
Hou Wu was stunned for a moment, and a little unwillingness flashed on his face.
Of course, he understands what 'rest for a few days' means, which means that the partial general in front of him is not ready to let him be a pioneer general, which is undoubtedly a blow to Hou Wu, who serves as a pioneer general most of the time.
However, considering that the casualties of his subordinates are currently more than 300, he can only accept it silently.
ββ¦β¦ Promise. β
After Qu Hou hugged his fist and retreated, Ji Rong sent someone to summon another Qu Hou, Zhu Liang.
He instructed Zhu Liang: "Zhu Liang, the gang of bandits on the other side is not simple, we set up camp in a hurry, so you should pay special attention to the night guard tonight." β
Hearing this, Zhu Liang couldn't help but laugh and said, "The general is worried that the gang of bandits will attack the camp?" β
"Don't be on guard."
Ji Rong glanced at Zhu Liang and said his opinion: "At first, I didn't take this group of bandits seriously, but today's defeat of our army ......" He paused, and then continued: "In short, I think this group of thieves may not dare to attack the camp, you have to take strict precautions." β
Seeing Ji Rong's formal order, Zhu Liang immediately straightened his expression, hugged his fists and responded: "No!" β
Subsequently, Ji Rong talked to the remaining two Qu Hou separately and discussed the way to break the enemy.
At this time, the sky has become darker and darker, and the dark night sky will soon cover the earth, and there are only two light sources visible within a radius of ten miles, one is the Black Tiger Village on Ying Mountain, and the other is the camp of the Nanyang Army.
Around three o'clock, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan quietly descended the mountain with a number of black tiger thieves, standing near the mountainside, peeking at the camp under the mountain from a distance.
If today's defeat of the Nanyang Army has little impact on the Nanyang Army itself, then for the Black Tigers, this small victory can be said to have greatly boosted the morale of the villagers.
The Nanyang Army's estimate is correct, the casualties in the Black Tiger Village today are negligible, and the number of dead is no more than one hand, but it is all because of their carelessness, even if they are counted, all the casualties do not exceed thirty, and the casualties of only thirty people are exchanged for the casualties of three hundred people of the Nanyang Army, not to mention that Ji Rong and others dare not believe it, and the Black Tigers themselves dare not believe it - is the other party really a regular soldier?
For a time, the fear of the regular soldiers in the village was swept away, and it was replaced by bursting self-confidence.
Seeing these people talking and laughing while eating, and gradually ignoring the regular soldiers under the mountain, Chen Mo frowned and wanted to wake up these guys, but in the end he gave up.
Get carried away, as far as the situation is concerned, it's better than everyone looking scared.
That night was the last day of September, and there seemed to be thick clouds covering it, and the waning moon in the sky appeared and disappeared from time to time, which created favorable conditions for Chen Mo and the others to attack at night next.
But unfortunately, despite the very good conditions for sneak attacks, there are many slow-moving 'points of light' outside the camp of the Nanyang Army, and these photoelectric lights are patrol soldiers with torches in their hands.
Even if it was far away, Wang Qing could see that there were a lot of soldiers on patrol.
"Well defended......" he said with a rare look of solemnity.
"Normal." Chen Mo said lightly: "The other party is the Nanyang Army, which is a front-line army that has been fighting against the Jingchu rebels for a long time, and it is not comparable to the officers and soldiers recruited nearby......"
Hearing this, Wang Qing glanced at Chen Mo and said tentatively: "I remember, you seem to be also a soldier of the Nanyang Army?" β
"......" Chu Yan glanced at Chen Mo in surprise, but saw the latter calmly retort: "No, you are mistaken. β
"Hey." Wang Qingwei laughed and stopped talking.
Looking at the two beside him, Chu Yan didn't dare to speak casually, after all, he belonged to the 'little character' in the village, although he had a high authority.
However, as far as he is concerned, he firmly believes that Chen Mo, the great commander, must be born as a soldier, otherwise where would he know the training regulations of the soldier?
But he can't get to the bottom of it, so he can only suppress the curiosity in his heart.
After about half an hour like this, Chen Mo suddenly said to Wang Qing and Chu Yan: "It's almost time to take action." β
"Almost?"
Wang Qing stretched his waist and stretched his joints to crackle.
And Chu Yan also took a deep breath and adjusted her mentality.
γβ¦β¦ A night attack on a barracks with 2,000 regular soldiers stationed is ......
He shook his head to himself.
After a while, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan led many black tiger thieves to quietly descend the mountain, and gradually sneaked towards the Nanyang military camp in the distance.
However, the garrison of the Nanyang Army was too tight, and if they wanted to attack the camp, they could not avoid the patrolling soldiers with torches outside the camp.
What can I do?
In this regard, Chen Mo's approach was direct and rude: "Do it!" β
At the sound of an order, the black tiger thieves lurking in the night nearby, all of whom were armed with crossbows, immediately aimed at the soldiers who were patrolling in front of them and pulled the trigger.
But when a rapid sound of breaking through the air sounded, the exclamations and screams of the soldiers were heard from the patrol in the distance.
Judging from the number of screams, those black tiger thieves armed with crossbows will need to strengthen the accuracy of archery in the future.
However, at this time, Chen Mo didn't care about this, he immediately shouted in a low voice: "Up!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, countless black tiger thieves appeared in the night behind him, rushing towards the patrolling soldiers with weapons in hand.
It is worth mentioning that these black tiger thieves did not shout like ordinary bandits, and ran fast one by one with their mouths closed.
But even so, they still couldn't stop the patrolling soldiers from issuing a warning: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! β
Probably vaguely saw the number of thieves who came to sneak attack, among which the more clever soldiers shouted and ran away, obviously preparing to run back to the camp to defend against the intruders with the robes, and those who reacted slowly were cut to the ground by a group of black tiger thieves after three or five breaths.
γβ¦β¦ In the first feint attack, it is important to show our recklessness, so that we can deceive the other party and make the other party not anticipate the second night attack......
Zhao Yu's advice to himself flashed in his mind, Chen Mo pointed at the military camp in the distance with a spear in his hand, and shouted in a deep voice: "With this momentum, kill all the way in!" β
"Oooh!"
The black tiger thieves shouted loudly, as if they had forgotten the concealment required for a night attack.
At this time, in the middle military tent of the barracks, although the partial general Ji Rong was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, he had not yet fallen asleep, because he had not yet waited for the night attack of the black tiger thief.
Although the guards around him all felt that a mere group of bandits would have the courage to attack a camp with 2,000 regular troops?
But what if?
Their camp doesn't even have a camp fence at the moment, in case they are successfully attacked by the black tiger thieves because of negligence in prevention, not to mention that General Wang will be furious in the future, and he Ji Rong can't afford to lose this person.
So he decided to stay up all night, all night, so that when the Black Tiger Thief came to attack, he could respond immediately.
Even......
γβ¦β¦ The number of thieves is far less than ours, and if we can inflict heavy damage on their main forces tonight, we will be able to get rid of the thieves' village."
With his arms on his back, he thought to himself.
He was thinking about it when suddenly there was a loud alarm in the camp, and he even faintly heard someone shouting: "Enemy attack!" Enemy attack! β
Suddenly, Ji Rong's face was straight, he turned over and got out of bed, picked up the sword next to the bed and strode out of the tent, scanning the tent with a cold expression, judging the direction of the thief's sneak attack.
Not long after, a herald came to report: "General, our army garrison has been attacked by thieves!" β
"I see it."
Ji Rong asked in a deep voice, "What about the loss?" β
The herald replied: "Since the thief's movement was discovered by the patrolling brothers, and the early warning was issued in time, the camp reacted quickly. β
"Okay." Ji Rong nodded slightly, and turned his head to look in the direction where the shouting and killing sound came from.
I saw that in that direction, Quhou Zhu Liang had gathered countless soldiers, arranging troops in the gap between the tents and tents, although those Nanyang soldiers were a little flustered at first, and there were many people who panicked, but this little riot was quickly quelled, and the discipline engraved in the bones of the soldiers made these Nanyang soldiers respond to Zhu Liang's summons as soon as possible, and quickly counterattacked under the latter's summons.
On the other hand, the Black Tiger Thief's side behaved very badly, although it grabbed a few opportunities at first, but it was lost in a short period of time.
During this period, people led by Wang Qing, Chu Yan and others pretended to be panicked and shouted: "I have won the scheme!" Fall back! Fall back! Withdraw the copycat! β
For a moment, the black tiger thief left several corpses behind and fled like a tide.
"A group of rabble, even dare to offend my Nanyang Army?!"
Seeing that the morale of the group of thieves in front of him had been discharged, Zhu Liang sneered and immediately led the soldiers around him to pursue.
Seeing this, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chu Yan and others broke off a little, and then immediately ran away.
"Want to go?! β¦β¦ Pursue! β
Zhu Liang sneered again and again, and immediately urged his subordinates to step up the pursuit.
However, to his astonishment, the group of thieves fled quickly, and seemed to have good physical strength, and he and his soldiers were stunned to catch up, and finally watched the group of thieves flee into the night and disappear.
Seeing this, Rao is Zhu Liang was unwilling, so he could only give up the pursuit and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to return to the station.
A moment later, after redeploying the soldiers on night patrol, Zhu Liang came to the Zhongjun tent and saw Ji Rong standing outside the tent.
"Partial general." Zhu Liang hugged his fists.
"Hmm." Ji Rong nodded and asked, "What's the situation?" β
Zhu Liang clasped his fists and replied: "The thief was defeated and fled, and the last general couldn't catch up and was escaped by him." β
Hearing that Zhu Liang had repelled the thieves who came to attack, Ji Rong relieved himself and led the former into the account to make a detailed inquiry.
Under Ji Rong's inquiry, Zhu Liang truthfully said: "The general appointed the last general to be responsible for the night duty, and the last general did not dare to slack off." When the last general was leading people to patrol the camp, he suddenly heard an alarm from a patrolling soldier outside the camp, so he immediately gathered his soldiers to resist the thieves......"
Listening to Zhu Liang's report, Ji Rong was very satisfied.
Although he was only standing outside the tent of the Chinese army, he kept a close eye on the battle in the camp, and he was quite satisfied with the reaction of his men, after all, not any army can quickly counterattack in the face of a night attack, even if it is only a group of unruly bandits.
He shook his head and smiled: "Although it is not what I expected, this group of bandits really dares to attack our army camp at night...... It can really be described as a group of bold and bold gangsters, no wonder Kunyang County has repeatedly sent officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it, but it has not succeeded. β
Hearing this, Zhu Liang smiled and said: "It's just a group of vain rabble, they can't even solve the patrol soldiers of our army on duty at night, and they can't threaten the camp at all." I don't think in a few days, this group of thieves will be broken by the generals......"
"Hehehe." Ji Rong smiled.
Subsequently, Hou Wu and the other three Qu Hou came to see Ji Rong, Ji Rong explained to them, and everyone retired.
Gradually, the restless camp regained its calm again, and all the Nanyang sergeants laughed at the black tiger thief's incompetence, and each returned to the tent to rest, and Ji Rong also lay back on the bed in the tent at this time.
Probably because the threat was temporarily lifted, Ji Rong's tense nerves were also relieved, but at the same time, a wave of sleepiness gradually hit his heart.
"Tomorrow, ask Zhu Liang and the others to build a camp first, and at the same time send scouts to Naying Mountain to explore the path......
Just thinking about it, Ji Rong yawned unconsciously.
After a while, he closed his eyes and let out a low snoring sound.
At the same time, Chen Mo, Wang Qing, Chu Yan and others had also reconvened the scattered black tiger thieves in the old village halfway up the mountainside.
Because Chen Mo and the three of them had not revealed the truth to the ordinary villagers before, all the black tiger thieves thought that their night attack had failed, and they drooped their heads one by one, and their morale was a little low.
Don't think that the bandits have no self-esteem, in today's daytime, the cottage exchanged 30 casualties for 300 casualties of the Nanyang Army, which once made the black tiger thieves demoralized, mistakenly thinking that their strength could compete with the regular army, but they didn't expect that the sneak attack at night would expose them in their true form.
Forget it about the failure of the night attack, it's a shame that they didn't even manage to break into the enemy camp!
They couldn't even attack the camp of the Nanyang Army, so they were blocked back by the other party!
Is this the strength of a regular soldier?
Beside a faintly burning bonfire, Wang Qing glanced at the villagers with their heads drooping, and asked Chen Mo playfully, "Doesn't the commander say a few words?" β
Chen Mo glanced at those black tiger thieves expressionlessly, and said lightly, "Wait." β
Wang Qing shrugged his shoulders, held his head in his hands and lay down: "I'll sleep, call me when it's time." β
Chen Mo didn't speak, just threw a piece of firewood into the bonfire.
For a long time, all the black tiger thieves in the vicinity observed the three commanders Chen Mo, Wang Qing, and Chu Yan from time to time, wanting to hear what arrangements these two had in the future.
However, the great commander Chen Mo only cared about closing his eyes and recuperating, the left commander Wang Qing buried his head in sleep, and only the right commander Chu Yan seemed to want to say something, but he had some concerns, and finally said indifferently: "First ...... Let's rest the meeting first, recuperate your strength, and wait until the Grand Commander has something important to announce......"
Something important to announce?
The black tiger thieves didn't know why, and looked at Chen Mo with blank eyes.
However, Chen Mo seemed to be an old monk who was settled down, taking care of himself and recuperating himself.
Seeing this, the black tiger thieves also found a place to rest, although the night at the end of September was a little cool, and the mountain wind was blowing, but in general, it was tolerable, although most people didn't understand why Chen Mo and the others didn't lead them back to the main village.
In a blink of an eye, around the ugly hour of the next day, Liu Tu reminded Chen Mo in a low voice: "Great Commander, it's almost over." β
Hearing the voice, Chen Mo, who had closed his eyes and recuperated before, slowly opened his eyes, and calmly said to the black tiger thieves who had not yet closed their eyes and rested: "Wake everyone up, I have something to say." β
Seeing this, the black tiger thieves woke up their sleeping companions one after another.
After a while, seeing that most of the people were moving closer to him, Chen Mo asked expressionlessly, "Have you calmed down?" β
He looked around at the black tiger thieves around him, and said indifferently: "A group of blind and arrogant guys! Do you think yesterday's small victory was based on your own strength? It's just relying on the geographical advantage of the 'narrow cobweb'! If it is on flat ground, let alone 30 casualties, even if there are 300 casualties, it may not be able to inflict the same 300 casualties on the Nanyang army. β
ββ¦β¦β
The black tiger thieves present looked at each other.
Although they were unwilling to be counted down by Chen Mo like this, they didn't dare to refute it, firstly, they were afraid of Chen Mo, and secondly, they vaguely discovered the huge effect of the 'cobweb narrow passage', how dare they brazenly boast?
After scolding expressionlessly, Chen Mo suddenly changed his tone and talked about the sneak attack last night: "...... As for the sneak attack of a few hours of money, it was just a feigned defeat on our side, and this was the ploy of the great leader. This time, our opponent is the Nanyang Army, the Nanyang Army is the main army, different from the officers and soldiers and county soldiers we encountered before, there is no need to guess and know that this group of soldiers with rich experience in actual combat will definitely guard against our night attack, and will not let us succeed easily. In this case, the big boss decided to take the plan as planned, first confusing the other party with a failed feint, and when the other party neglected to take precautions, we would go to the sneak attack, forgive the other party would not have imagined that after a failure, we would launch a second night attack! β
The black tiger thieves were stunned when they heard this, some of them praised the big leader's strategy, and some of them had doubts about it, not knowing whether what Chen Mo said was true or not.
Seeing this, Liu Tu opened his mouth and scolded: "A group of fools! Didn't you see the night attack last night, and the three commanders didn't exert their strength? β
Hearing this, the eyes of the black tiger thieves lit up.
Yes, in the night attack last night, whether it was Chen Mo, Wang Qing, or Chu Yan, they had never exerted their strength.
These three are all warriors who can be ten with one!
"When is the time?"
Wang Qinghou sat up consciously and yawned.
"Ahh
Chen Mo replied lightly, and immediately looked at the group of black tiger thieves in front of him who were rejuvenated, and said in a low voice: "Next, it's the real night attack!" β¦β¦ Shut up and follow me! β
"This guy ......"
Wang Qing pursed his lips and casually greeted the black tiger thieves present: "Let's go, little ones, say hello to those soldiers seriously." β
Because they were silenced and warned to shut up in advance, none of the black tiger thieves spoke, but responded with a serious and dignified look, and followed Wang Qing and Chu Yan down the mountain one by one.
It is not difficult to see from the faint light of this bonfire that at this time, their expressions have swept away the previous decline.
A moment later, the Nanyang Army garrison once again sounded the alarm, waking up the sleeping Ji Rong.
Still sleepy, he subconsciously picked up the weapon next to the couch and rushed out of the tent, but he was shocked to see fires everywhere in the camp.
"Black Tiger Thief? β¦β¦ How is that possible?!'
At this moment, the partial general Ji Rong felt incredulous.
