At night, strange cries are heard from time to time in the mountains and forests, rendering a seeping atmosphere for the tiger-killing stream under the moonlight, and in the barracks on both sides of the small river in the valley, inside the tents, the soldiers listen to the movement outside, some tossing and turning.

There are wild things out to forage for food at night, there is nothing terrible to scream a few times, everyone has killed people and seen blood, and thousands of people are camped together, not worried about what jackals, tigers and leopards come to eat people, the reason why they can't sleep well is that they are worried about someone sneaking attack.

The left and right sides of this tiger killing stream are high mountains, but there are exits at the north and south ends, once the two ends are blocked, and then put a fire, it is really nowhere to run.

However, the enemy has been routed, fleeing all the way south from Yinshan Pass, and the official army is marching all the way to the south from the north, if someone really wants to sneak attack, it can only come from the south, the southern end of the camp is particularly heavily guarded, and the wooden fence is three ways, there is nothing to worry about.

Even if the enemy army climbed the high mountains on both sides of the valley, it would not be easy to descend from the slippery rock wall, and even if there were elite soldiers who did it, these small number of night raiders could not do anything substantial.

Because there are soldiers who keep vigil everywhere in the camp, as long as there is movement outside, they can react immediately, and at night, the generals of all departments have already issued repeated orders, in case there is movement during the night, those who are not night vigilers are not allowed to leave the camp without permission, otherwise they will be regarded as enemies and killed.

Seeing that everything was in order, the soldiers gradually relaxed, and as the night deepened, more and more people fell asleep, and the snoring in the camp that stretched for miles came and went, sweeping away the permeating atmosphere rendered by the strange cries in the valley.

However, the gradually calming valley suddenly sounded a continuous thunder, like countless thunderbolts exploding in the long valley, startling countless birds inhabiting the mountains and forests, this sound came too suddenly and too exciting, directly woke up many soldiers.

Everyone has seen the sound of the thunder explosion, so they will not think that the thunder is falling, the only thought is that the enemy is coming, and the thunder is used to open the way, and the sound is so dense, there are many thunderbolts that want to be invested.

That means that there are a lot of enemy forces attacking at night.

The camp was boiling in an instant, and many soldiers who woke up from their sleep didn't have time to put on their armor and were about to leave the account when they picked up their weapons, but they were soon scolded by the generals for not daring to move, because there had been three orders in advance, and whoever dared to walk around deserved it.

In small teams, the soldiers held their breath in their respective camps, silently watching the movements around them, while the soldiers on the night vigil looked out of the camp vigilantly with bows and crossbows as if they were facing a great enemy.

The mountain breeze brought the peculiar smell of the thunder explosion, but there was no movement other than that, and I don't know how long it took for the valley to gradually quiet down, and the expected night attack on the enemy did not appear.

However, no one dared to relax their vigilance, because the enemy was most likely trying to deceive, and only after the officers and soldiers relaxed their vigilance did they launch a real night attack.

Therefore, whether it was the soldiers who were keeping vigil or the soldiers who were supposed to rest, they did not dare to take it lightly at all, and everyone listened carefully to the movements around them.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, there was a firelight falling from the mountain walls on both sides, and the explosion of thunder sounded all over the valley, the sound was very rapid, it seemed that hundreds or even thousands of thunder were exploding, and the soldiers who were napping woke up in an instant, and looked around nervously.

Maybe the enemy is really attacking this time?

Many people thought so, so they didn't dare to slack off at all, for fear that if they were not careful, they would let people touch the camp, but they looked tired and looked tired, but they didn't see anyone touch them.

After a while, the valley fell silent again, and the soldiers gradually became sleepy, and after a while, the snoring began one after another, and at that moment, the third round of explosions came like a tidal wave.

In the Chinese military tent, the general Tian Xingshou listened to the movement outside, frowned for a moment and then issued an order: except for the night vigil soldiers and horses, if there is no drum warning, the rest of the soldiers can only sleep, and there is no need to disturb the army's mind because of the explosion.

Tian Xingshou has been on the battlefield for a long time, and knows what is the plan of tired soldiers, the Huangzhou army is attacking at night, it must be a bluff, killing the tiger stream is surrounded by high mountains on both sides, as long as he guards the north and south ends of the camp, then even if the other party can send a small group of elites to slide down the stone wall to attack the camp, in fact, it will not be able to cause chaos.

So the other party is so tossed, just to make his own wind and noise, and he can't sleep well all night, and if he does this for several days in a row, he will take it lightly because of exhaustion, and when the time comes....

Tian Xingshou will not be tricked, but he does not dare to hold on to it, he still has to be vigilant, lest a small group of enemy troops touch into the camp and set it on fire, and there will not be many people killed at that time, but many more people will be burned to death and trampled on each other.

If it was in the plains, it would not have been so aggrieved, the officers and soldiers had many horses, and many groups of cavalry could be scattered within dozens of miles outside the camp, and move around as a peripheral guard, but in this big mountain, the scattered outposts were easily touched by the enemy.

Tian Xingshou heard Tian Qiancheng and others say that those slave hunting teams that were raging in the Dabie Mountains, relying on the one-legged bronze man as a backer, not only did all the bad things, but also were well-equipped, especially good at fighting in the mountains, and any vicious sneak attack tricks could be used.

It is conceivable that if the other party can't fight in person, he will definitely send someone to sneak attack, after all, there are grass and trees on both sides of the road in the mountains, and the cold arrows shot from time to time are impossible to prevent, not to mention that the other party also has thunder, so the officers and soldiers must be careful when marching and camping.

Thinking of this, Tian Xingshou couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, generally speaking, the so-called tired soldiers are to send people to get close to the enemy's camp at night, and then beat the gongs and drums, so that the other party thinks that a large group of men and horses are coming, resulting in sleepless nights, and after tossing for a few days, either the army is in turmoil, or the vigilance is relaxed.

At this time, the enemy attacked them, not with gongs and drums, but with thunder.

He listened carefully to the movement, and found that the noise made by the other party was very dense, as if it had ignited hundreds or even thousands of thunderbolts, and according to the reports from the generals of various departments, no one on his side was actually injured.

In other words, the enemy's ignition of the thunder was purely to make a noise and make them uneasy, such an extravagant act made Tian Xingshou feel uneasy.

He didn't know how the thunderbolt was made, but he probably knew that the cost was not cheap, and only the wealthy imperial court could prepare countless thunderbolts, and it would be too wasteful to use hundreds or even thousands of thunderbolts to scare people instead of killing people.

Maybe the Huangzhou Army is only using a trumpet thunderbolt at this time, but the cumulative number of uses is definitely not small, Tian Xingshou feels that the other party is so sparingly bloody, it can't just let them sleep badly.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Tian Xingshou turned out of the big tent, looked up at the black mountains on both sides, and couldn't see anything famous after looking at it for a long time, he carefully recalled the series of arrangements he had made for the camp guard, and he really couldn't think of any flaws, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Could it be that I'm thinking too much?
