Chapter 1072: A Critical Moment
"Send troops, and attack the enemy camp tonight! Shen Haoran definitely didn't expect that we would make a move at such a time, and when the time comes, wouldn't it be able to frustrate his prestige? When the time comes, I will see how Shen Haoran will still serve the public! An adjutant general rubbed his hands excitedly, his eyes were full of light, and he was obviously bound to win this incident, "Maybe they can annihilate their camp, and then it will be easy to explain to His Highness?" β
Liang Kun was cautious at first, but when he heard the explanation, the strings in his heart loosened slightly.
The pressure on him from the imperial court was too great, and the letter brought by the Yan people that day even clearly stated that if he did not take the jade hopelessly within the specified time, or annihilated the enemy army, he would be handed over to the Chen family for disposal.
The Chen family is orthodox and Chen Yu is a child, and he still has a life if he falls into their hands?
In order to save his own life, Liang Kun can be said to have worked hard, only thinking about making military achievements as soon as possible, and now is the best time for him to make some achievements. He was a little moved, but he also had some concerns: "Is the person who delivered the message credible?" β
As soon as this question was asked, someone took the initiative to stand up, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, general, that is the eyeliner I planted in the enemy camp, he has a handle in my hand, and he will never betray us, and the information he gave has not been a problem of going abroad, I dare to guarantee that his news is absolutely credible." β
In this way, Liang Kun can be regarded as completely relieved.
"Since you dare to use yourself to assure him, then I will believe you once, let's plan tonight's battle plan first."
When he said that, he thought he was going to do it tonight!
Idle for several days, just waiting for the battle to practice their hands, the eyes of the people lit up, like a dog seeing a bone, and echoed: "Just by the general's orders!" We, brothers, come as you wish, General! β
Liang Kun nodded with satisfaction, on the surface he was happy, but there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart that always shrouded and lingered.
Tonight, there shouldn't be an accident, right?
Although he was a little worried, for the sake of his own life and military exploits, Liang Kun still decided to bite the bullet. Most of these lieutenants under him have fought in the army, originally loyal to Chen Yu, after Chen Yu disappeared, they were impressed by Liang Kun, and instead bowed down at Liang Kun's feet.
After each task was ordered, someone suddenly remembered a core problem.
Who led the army to attack the enemy camp?
Liang Kun raised his eyelids and said without hesitation: "Naturally, I will lead the troops." β
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, and everyone present, including Liang Kun's own cronies, was stunned, and said after a long while: "General, you are the commander of the first army, how can you personally lead the troops to attack the enemy camp?" It's so dangerous to do that! β
"Yes, General, why don't you leave this matter to your subordinates?"
One by one, the subordinates stood up to express their opposition, saying that if they wanted to lead the troops into battle, they could send themselves out, or anyone could do it, but the commander could not go. However, Liang Kun didn't mean to listen at all, and shook his head firmly: "This sneak attack, I must go in person." β
Why didn't Liang Kun know that as the commander of the First Army, he shouldn't rush to the front? But what can he do? This is the fastest way to make military achievements, and if he doesn't go, he will die: "You don't need to persuade anymore, I've already decided." β
He put down such words, and those subordinates had other thoughts in their hearts, and it was not easy to say anything at this time, so they silently stepped aside and closed their mouths tightly.
The clock soon turned to the evening.
This night, Liang Kun was ready to go, because it was a sneak attack, they only had weapons on them, and they didn't even bring rations, so the Qing soldiers were simple, in order to rush to the enemy camp as soon as possible.
In addition to Liang Kun himself, there are two other deputy generals, both of whom have followed Liang Kun for many years, and they came out of the Praetorian Guard, while the others stayed in the camp.
Looking at the backs of the soldiers and horses gradually moving away, the military advisor frowned slightly.
"I always felt wrong."
An adjutant general nodded again and again: "Strategist, don't talk about you, even a big man like me thinks things are wrong, but General Liang has already decided, and he can't be persuaded at all, I'm afraid he won't listen to us no matter how much we say." β
"General, he's really a little anxious." The military advisor lowered his eyes, turned his head and ordered, "Send some other men and horses to follow the general, and if you find anything wrong, you will act immediately, and you must ensure the safety of the general." β
"My subordinates understand."
Besides, on Liang Kun's side, he deliberately asked people to explore the road during the day, so he was in a hurry at night, and he was not satisfied.
It was not long before they came to a col not far from the enemy camp, and from here they could see the whole of the enemy camp to the east. Keep your books in stock
Perhaps because of the late hour, the enemy camp was no longer brightly lit, only a few patrol soldiers patrolled the perimeter with torches, and the guards were staggering, as if they had not woken up at all.
Such a military appearance is equivalent to a plate of loose sand!
Looking at their appearance, Liang Kun became more and more convinced that what was said in the secret letter was all true! Yu's hopeless death set off stormy waves in the camp, and Shen Haoran was alone and could not support it, and now it was in chaos! Now is the perfect time for them to attack.
Liang Kun glanced back and gestured to the soldiers behind him.
The soldiers recalled, each raising his bow and arrow.
Hearing a few sounds, arrows rained down, and those careless, soldiers who were sleeping at their posts were pierced by arrows in the throat before they could react, and the whole person fell backwards.
"Enemy attack, enemy attackβ" In the panic, someone shouted loudly.
It's a pity that there are too few soldiers on patrol, and the sound spreads to every corner of the barracks, and some people can't react, so they just walked out of the tent with their clothes and a blank face, and asked in confusion: "What's going on outside, why is it like this?" β
"The enemy is coming! Alert! β
In the chaos, someone accidentally knocked over the candle flames, causing the entire tent to be engulfed in flames, and the barracks was in chaos inside and out.
Liang Kun sneered again: "I thought Shen Haoran was so powerful, his reputation spread so loudly outside, and now it seems that it is just like that, it can't compare to me, it's really a straw bag that is ruined!" β
The adjutant general nodded again and again next to him: "The general is wise." β
Liang Kun's heart was greatly satisfied, the depression and confusion in his heart when he led the troops over, and the uneasy feeling that shrouded his heart, all disappeared at this time, and he firmly believed that he was destined to succeed in this battle.
With an order, the soldiers who were ambushed in the shadows raised their swords and went into battle, the promised defense was already very weak, and it could not prevent the enemy's attack at all. Someone sensed the pace of the attack and took up arms in a panic to try to resist, but how could he fight so many enemies alone? It's just a mantis arm as a car, hitting a stone with an egg.
Seeing that everywhere he passed was flames and blood, as if everything had been completely conquered, Liang Kun swelled up more and more: "Go, Shen Haoran will catch me here, I will kill him with my own hands!" β
Liang Kun recommended himself to the Yan Mao, originally for fame and fortune, if he could kill the famous generals of Liang Guo with his own hands, would he still be worried that his reputation would not be able to fight?
He sat in his own dream, and he didn't even notice that there was an army behind him, slowly cutting off their retreat in the darkness of the night.
The team sent by the military advisor discovered this detail, and their faces immediately changed.
"No wonder General Liang was able to come all the way over, and even didn't encounter too many obstacles when attacking the enemy camp, it turned out that they were waiting here! The general has been tricked, and now I'm afraid he has been attacked from both sides! β
"So what should we do now? Could it be that he watched the general ......."
The leader gritted his teeth and said in a heavy tone: "Either flee back to the camp with the general, or die with the general!" There are only two options in front of us! β
At this time, they were not the only people lurking outside the barracks, and when they squinted at the situation in the camp, their thoughtful expressions were more puzzling and profound in the firelight.
"Master National Teacher!" A cronie rushed over with an excited face and reported, "Everything is as you expected, the enemy has been tricked!" Now they are rushing towards General Shen's camp, and at this moment, our people have already surrounded the big camp, just waiting for the order of the national teacher! If you give the order, the brothers will be able to do it right away! β
The disease of the person who occupies the right time, place and position is not him Liang Kun, but Yu Wuhope, every step he takes, Yu Wuwang has carefully imagined, and now he is the fish in the net, just waiting for the moment when the net is closed.
"Master Guoshi, why don't we do it now? No one notices the ambush we've set up right now......"
Yu Wuwang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "It's not time yet." β
When the cronies heard this, their faces changed: "Master Guoshi, you have too many ideas, and now everyone is already in the net, just waiting for your order to close the net immediately, but you are ....... Aren't you afraid that he will run away? β
The trap that was set with great difficulty, if you think that the person who should be caught will run away because of a moment of hesitation, it will really outweigh the loss!
"Master Guoshi, give the order quickly."
Compared with the deputy general's worries, Yu Wuwang was unusually calm, his eyebrows were raised, and he even hooked a smile: "The person is already in the palm of his hand, where else can he go?" I'm just waiting for General Shen's signal. By the way, in addition to the enemy troops who have already entered the net, there is also a team following them, you can take people over to have a look, if you can fight them, you can get rid of them, if you can't beat them, you will drag them down. β
