Chapter 80: The Night Fades
Chapter Seventy-Nine: Luo Dai's Wisdom
The fight in the dark is more difficult than in the daytime.
No matter how dense the torches are, the light conditions are not as good as the daylight. In many places, it looks like a lot of people from a distance, but there are no more people to see clearly.
At this time, even the clairvoyant mirror could not help Zhang Xuan see the details of the battlefield clearly.
Under the command, it is inevitable.
No amount of campfires is of much use.
However, it is not without benefits.
The officers and soldiers also had little experience in night battles, and Zhang Xuan's subordinates had experience in night marching and raiding. Therefore, in this battle, both sides fought with mistakes and omissions. Most of the people who have just started to carry torches on a large scale and immediately carry torches have become targets.
Striking in the darkness, all ranged weapons, whether artillery, bows, or even javelins, strike at the light first.
Then, everyone realized this and put out their torches.
Then there was another problem, that is, it was the last quarter moon, so the moonlight in the sky was very light, and when these torches were extinguished one after another, coupled with a lot of smoke, the visibility dropped sharply, and many officers and soldiers collided with each other and fought each other.
After all, on the battlefield, everyone was nervous, and when they couldn't see clearly whether they were friends or foes, they naturally struck first.
Therefore, it took a while for the two sides to adapt to the rhythm of the night battle, that is, to light more bonfires and use less torches, and whoever lifts the torch is a fool.
Even in this way, the effectiveness of the engagement is not too high.
No matter how much the people above urged, the soldiers below refused to fight in the night.
At this time, among a pile of reeds.
Luo Dai was pushed awake, Luo Dai yawned and said, "It's dark? ”
"It's already dark." The pro-soldier next to him said.
Luo Dai jumped up from the ground and beat the dust on his body, and when he crossed the river, because of the current, after coming ashore, he went a little downstream. So after going ashore, Luo Dai went out for a walk by himself, and did not alarm anyone, and then ordered to hide in the reeds.
This reed swing is not big. There were so many mosquitoes that everyone was bitten all over their heads. Only after Luo Dai came back by himself, he covered his head and face with his clothes and fell asleep. And he commanded that he should be awake after dark.
Listening to the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, Luo Dai slept very sweetly.
At this moment, Luo Dai heard the sound of killing in the distance, and said, "Still fighting?" ”
"Yes." The person next to him said, "There was another fight just now." ”
"That's ruthless." Luo Dai said to himself in a low voice, and then he asked, "Have the brothers eaten and drunk enough?" ”
"It's all set. My lord, are you leading us to fight? "The people around me were excited.
People live in kinds, and things are divided into groups.
The pro-soldiers who have always been able to follow Luo Dai have all been infected by Luo Dai, and they have developed a temperament that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and they are almost happy when they hear the war.
"Nope." Luo Dai said: "I'm still hungry, so I'm here with dry food and water." ”
Soon, the dry food and water were brought over.
Luo Dai didn't gobble it up, but chewed it slowly, as if what he ate was not dry, dry food that could kill people, but what kind of delicacy it was.
In fact, at this moment, Luo Dai's heart is not in his mouth at all, but in his ears.
Countless noisy voices on the battlefield came, and Luo Dai carefully separated the remix, identifying what this voice was, what this voice was, how far away this voice was, and how far away this voice was, and tried to construct a battle map in his mind.
Speculation about how far the war has progressed.
In the end, he found two points, the first is that the area of the two sides is smaller than that of the day, and the second is that the war is still in a stalemate.
After confirming these two points, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This means that Zhang Xuan has no problem for a while. He still has a chance.
He took care of the rest of the things and said, "Everyone listen to my orders, don't leave a word, you know?" ”
"Yes." The crowd agreed.
Luo Dai said: "Okay, wrap the horse's hooves." Launched. Head west. ”
Heading west? For a while, everyone didn't know what to say?
To the west is Poyang Lake? Now that the battlefield is in the east, isn't it the opposite direction?
However, among these hundreds of horsemen, Luo Dai has outstanding prestige, and everyone believes in him. Even if he was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask.
After setting off, Luo Dai walked in the front, but the speed was not fast. After walking for several miles, he let the horse go south. After going around in a big circle, it can be regarded as going around to the south of the battlefield, about ten miles.
From this place to the southeast, but more than 30 miles, there is Raozhou City. However, there is still a big river to cross. The so-called Chang River is also.
Only then did Luo Dai say, "Put down the horse's hooves." Lighting torches. ”
"Yes." Everyone did so. It's just that the doubts in my heart are deeper.
After all, the sound of the horse's hooves hitting the ground can be heard far away in the dark, so wrapping the horse's hooves to eliminate the noise and reduce the chance of being discovered. But now we want to let go, but what is the reason? Wasn't it immediately discovered?
Isn't it an open flame to fight with a torch? Is it too late to be discovered?
Sure enough, in just a few moments, several riders appeared, and they seemed to have discovered the situation here, but they couldn't figure out what was going on?
Just watching from afar.
"The rabbit cub over there, come over to Lao Tzu." Luo Dai didn't see clearly, but he heard the crisp sound of horses' hooves. It's just that some people didn't notice that Luo Dai was speaking at the moment, but it was an authentic Liaodong accent.
After a while, a cavalryman came, but he didn't dare to get too close, and said from a distance: "Who are you?" ”
Luo Dai snorted coldly, bent his bow and shot an arrow, and an arrow was put in front of the people who came, and the future people were startled, but they heard Luo Dai say: "I want to kill you, none of you can escape, I am a general under the public account of Liao, surnamed Zuo." Two of you come, show me the way, and the rest will report the news. ”
"Yes, yes, yes." This team does not collect at night, and there is no doubt about him.
Although Cao Ying has already established its own side, most of all the armor and weapons, and even the war horses, were captured from the official army, and there is not much difference between them, the only difference is probably the flag. And now, in the darkness of the night, the flag was put away again.
Looking at it from a distance, it is natural that there is no flaw in front of it.
And although Luo Dai didn't say a word, he completely revealed the feeling of being arrogant.
and let them go back to report, and they naturally won't be more suspicious.
Then Luo Dai asked, "Where is your general's camp?" ”
"My general did not camp today, but he stood five miles ahead, and the bonfire was bright, so it was easy to see." The scout said.
Luo Dai smiled slightly, his voice suddenly changed to authentic Shaanxi dialect, and said, "Since this is the case, you are useless." ”
This night did not close and suddenly understood that he had been deceived and wanted to say something, but before he could say a word, he saw a flash of knife and his head fell to the ground.
Luo Dai said: "Follow me." ”
Three or five miles away, it is only a moment to let the horse gallop. At this time, Luo Dai no longer needs to do more disguise, all he wants is to be fast.
At this time, Fang Guoan also knew about Luo Dai's news.
"More than three hundred rides. Liaodong accent, surname Zuo. Fang Guo was relieved, thought over and over again, and said secretly: "Who could it be?" Could it be General Zuo's domestic servant? At this time, what did he send people to do? ”
For a while, Fang Guoan did not go around this circle, and many times, when encountering this problem, people would not think about other places for the first time.
However, because the relationship between Fang Guoan and Zuo Liangyu was not harmonious, Fang Guoan couldn't help but be a little more vigilant. He was about to send someone to invite him, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he felt that this time was wrong, the scout had just come to report, why did they come on their hind feet, this speed was too fast.
It's unusually fast.
"Unless." Fang Guoan's face changed greatly, and he secretly said in his heart: "There is fraud in it." ”
He keenly felt that no matter whether this cavalry was sent by Zuo Liangyu or not, there were problems in it.
"Stop it immediately." Fang Guoan said: "They are not allowed to approach. ”
It's just that Luo Dai has only touched this opportunity with all his heart, and it will be too late to block it now.
