Consciousness determines action, thinking determines the way out, and planning determines war.

Whether a battle can be successful in the end or not, planning plays a very key role. With the strength of the two sides equal, as long as the planning is done properly and the soldiers kill the enemy with all their might, if there are no more natural phenomena such as earthquakes, flash floods, and tengu swallowing the sun, the battle will basically be won.

"Well———, it's decided, you will fight, and I will defend it." Shi Xiong said happily, "Someone, bring the tripping horse." ”

Tripping?

An important tool of warfare.

Hearing Shi Xiong's order, the soldiers around him immediately went to find a tripping horse.

"Brother, you are really my Shixiong's lucky general, with a lucky general like you, my Shixiong can't do it if he doesn't make contributions to the Tang Dynasty!" Shi Xiong said happily to Zhang Wei.

To be honest, after so many years as a soldier, Shi Xiong was the first time to lead the army as the main general, and fortunately met Zhang Wei, a person with extremely high staff skills, as his deputy general.

Seeing that he was about to establish a fame for eternity, Shi Xiong was really happy.

"Where, if it weren't for your General Shi's good leadership and good at listening to the suggestions of his subordinates, my Zhang Wei's plan would have been realized. If it were someone else, my plan would be clever, and it would be in vain for others not to listen to everything. Zhang Wei said to Shi Xiong.

This is also true, fortunately it is Shi Xiong who is the main general for Zhang Wei, if you meet a stubborn bull as the main general, no matter how clever and meticulous your Zhang Wei's plan is, even if Zhuge is alive and Zhang Liang is resurrected, it is in vain if people don't listen to everything.

The two praised each other for a while, but before the soldier who took the triphorse came back, Shi Xiong was unhappy, "Is the person who took the triphorse dead?" After all this time, why haven't you seen anyone come back? ”

Time is of the essence, and this saying could not be more appropriate on the battlefield.

I've been going for so long, and I haven't brought the tripping horse here, did you braided the rope or planted hemp? (Ancient ropes were mostly made of hemp)

"Report to General ——,, the tripping rope is on the cart transporting supplies, and the small one has already sent someone to pick it up." At this time, the soldiers came over and said to him.

What the?

Tripping on the cart carrying supplies?

Hearing such news, Shi Xiong's lungs were about to explode, is this what is going on? My pants are off, and you make me read the Bible; The tiger went down the mountain, and you said that you didn't have a weapon with you.

This is really a critical time to drop the chain, the ship only leaked in the sea, and people still lived?

Hearing such news, Zhang Wei was also very anxious!

If you think about it carefully, it's really like this, think about it, think about it, why do you forget about it? He remembered that he had indeed carried a tripping horse with him, and that he had put it in the car disguised as a Turkic merchant.

According to the time estimate, the car should be halfway at this time, and it must be too late to get it back and use it at the moment.

"You useless things, always go wrong at critical moments, I'll kill you." Shi Xiong angrily waved his horsewhip and prepared to whip his own soldiers.

The soldier is anxious and rude, and he can also understand, as the so-called mercy is not in charge of the army, and righteousness is not business. As the chief general of the army, it is reasonable for Shi Xiong to be anxious.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei stopped him, "Don't be angry, general, I have a way." ”

With that, Zhang Wei took the horsewhip from Shi Xiong's hand.

"What are you doing here?" Seeing that his horsewhip was taken away by Zhang Wei, Shi Xiong said angrily.

"Order the soldiers to untie their whips and belts." Zhang Wei said as he took his horsewhip from the soldier beside him and tied the two horsewhips together. "Isn't it just a few stumbling blocks? It's not easy. Who said that a tripping cord must be made of hemp rope, a belt, a whip, anything that can be connected together? ”

Untie your belt and bring a whip.

Looking at Zhang Wei's movements, Shi Xiong suddenly understood, "Yes, yes, isn't it just four tripstrings, what's so difficult about this." Shi Xiong said as he untied his belt.

You must know that there are tens of thousands of people at this time, and if you untie everyone's belts and tie them together, it is not impossible to say that it is four stumbling ropes, or that the entire military camp is tied up.

Soon the four tripwires were made.

Looking at the few tripwires tied, Shi Xiong smiled, "Hey, hey, it's too easy." ”

"General Shi, the matter of Taniguchi will be handed over to you, and I will lead the troops up the mountain when the time is not early." After the tripping rope was tied, Zhang Wei said to Shi Xiong.

"It's fine, but do you have enough manpower?" Shi Xiong realized that about 6,000 soldiers had been used up for the three lines of defense at Taniguchi, and the remaining soldiers for Zhang Wei were about 6,000.

Is it enough to be able to attack the enemy with these soldiers and horses?

"That's enough." Zhang Wei said confidently, and with a wave of his hand, he led the rest of the soldiers and horses towards the mountain.

In fact, Zhang Wei knew very well in his heart that this battle was different from the previous battle in Nurul Tiger Mountain, the previous battle was mainly based on the slaughter of **, so the soldiers and horses led were relatively more, but this battle was different from the previous one, although it was an ambush battle, but the main force of this battle would be mainly concentrated on the three lines of defense at the valley mouth.

Because the main force here is the army, unlike the people of Nurul Tiger Mountain. Once he led his troops to burn the camp of Shanxi's army, the awakened enemy would definitely rush out of the valley in a frenzy. As a result, the pressure on Shi Xiong is very heavy.

When Zhang Wei led the ** soldiers up the hillside, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and it should be the second half of the night. Zhang Wei estimated that if you use the current time to calculate that this time should be four or five o'clock in the morning, although it is about to dawn, it is also the time when people sleep the deadliest.

Time is running out, and if you don't act in time, everything will be over by dawn.

At this time, the military camp of Shanxi's army was in the valley in front of him, quiet and peaceful, like a sleeping old man.

The darkness before dawn was the deepest darkness, and the soldiers who had been patrolling did not know where to hide. There was hardly any fire moving back and forth in the camp.

"Captain Chen, it's time to act." Looking at the camp at the bottom of the mountain, Zhang Wei calmly said to Chen Duwei beside him.

Although they are all lieutenants, Zhang Wei is the deputy general of this march and plays a leading role. What's more, from the northeast to the northwest, Zhang Wei's advice can always play a role at critical moments, which also makes Chen Duwei and others admire.

Don't say that it was the Jiedu envoy who appointed Zhang Wei as their leader, even Chen Duwei himself was willing to listen to Zhang Wei's command.

"No—" Captain Chen agreed, ordering the soldiers to start the fire with flint.

Looking at the crackling flint, Zhang Wei really opened his eyes, he had never seen such a thing when he was so big, "Whew-" The sparks from the flint splashed into the pyre, and the sparks came out.

Chen Duwei and the soldiers lit the torches and said to Zhang Wei: "I'm going to burn their camp." ”

"Go—"

"Rush down and burn all the enemy's tents———" Captain Chen gave an order and led the ** soldiers to rush down the mountain.

Shanxi camp.

Although it was already early summer at this time, the nights were still very cold in the Yinshan area on the northwest border. Although it was almost dawn, the Shanxi soldiers slept even more deadly, not realizing that danger was coming.

Besides, from the northeast to the northwest, all the way over, the Shanxi army almost didn't encounter any resistance, which also made these Shanxi troops proud for a long time. Datang is like this, it is okay to deal with the people, but it may not be enough to deal with my Shanxi army.

Modern people often say: the rope always breaks at the thinnest point. When the Shanxi army was asleep before dawn, the ** team also came to them.
