Chapter 1 Gambling

Of course, Yang Shanhui did not believe that Cheng Mingzhen would fight a decisive battle in the coming day, as he said in the battle book, and would not attack him at night. But deep down, he is very eager for Cheng Mingzhen to keep his promise. thought that night battles had never been the specialty of the county soldiers, and the last time he defeated the fox was because he chased the enemy army overnight and strayed into Cheng Mingzhen's trap.

"On my order, all soldiers are not allowed to disarm while they sleep tonight. Always ready to fight. As the commander of the army, he certainly could not be intimidated by a letter from an enemy general. He groaned for a moment and whispered.

The generals of Hejun cheered up and agreed in unison.

"The range and density of antlers have been doubled, and the number of night patrols has been doubled. Those who are not on duty should seize the time to rest and will nourish their physical strength! "Swept down majestically, Yang Shan will continue to add." The coming day will be a fierce battle, and the old man will fight with you for his merits and servitude! Advance and retreat together, although a hundred deaths do not spin their heels! ”

"Advance and retreat together, although a hundred deaths do not spin!" The generals' faces were solemn, and the oath roared louder and louder.

If you want to deal with me with a tired army, the old man is not fooled. Yang Shanhui nodded, and secretly made a decision in his heart. The soldiers still had some of the supplies they had left with them, and as long as they were all arranged, the camp would be able to stabilize as a rock in a short time. Cheng Mingzhen's words in the war book are true or false, in short, let them have a thousand clever plans, I have certain rules. In any case, don't ask him for a bargain.

Thinking like this, in the first half of the night after dinner, Yang Shanhui slept so-so. But as soon as the day had passed, he was cried out of his sleep by a low trumpet. "Woo woo woo" is like the first roar of the dragon that first soared into the abyss, although it was not very loud, but it was enough to make the beasts lose their voices. "Woo, woo, woo!" After a moment of dead silence, a second horn rang out, piercing the ears and marrow of the man, and the heart tightened.

"What's going on?" Yang Shan quickly rolled down the felt collapse and grabbed the horizontal knife on the pillow. Leading by example, he did not disarm when he slept, and did not take off his combat boots. Such bulky equipment is attached to the body, although it is difficult for people to sleep peacefully. However, it greatly speeds up people's response to night attacks. At the same time as he rushed out of the tent, the left and right guards, confidants and generals, and most of the civilian staff members all ran out and quickly gathered around him, their eyes full of confusion and horror.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo!" The sound of the horn was endless, one more urgent than the other, and one louder than the other. Enemy troops are on the move, with great fanfare. The battle is about to begin, and Cheng Mingzhen, who doesn't talk about credibility, really came to sneak attack, and Lord Yang was prepared. The soldiers ran, rejoicing, rejoicing, running, flocking to the camp walls at the command of the junior officers, bending their bows and arrows, ready to rob the treacherous attack in the darkness. Surprisingly, the enemy did not appear within range of the feathered arrows. In the distance, the torches swayed, and the horns sounded fiercely, as if there were countless evil spirits dancing in the dark night, but they never dared to come forward out of fear.

It's a suspicious tactic! A civilian staff member pricked up his ears and listened for a moment, and reminded Yang Shanhui in a low voice. Thieves like to play this hand. Back then, he dragged down General Feng ......"

The second half of the sentence was a lip color, and was forced back into the stomach by everyone with a bunch of white eyes. A lieutenant with several years of military experience listened sideways, and quickly retorted, "It's not a suspicious tactic. There seems to be a real sound of fighting after the sound of the horn. Thieves are infighting......"

This idea is more wishful thinking, so it reaps more white eyes. Everyone listened patiently to the sound of the horn outside, and analyzed the clues from the wind from the interval. I don't know if it was because of the influence of the captain's words, or because my ears were too tired and I had an illusion, but after listening for a while, I heard the faint sound of shouting and killing and the sound of weapons colliding.

Yang Shanhui himself was confused by the noise outside. If Cheng Mingzhen just wanted to make everyone sleep, he didn't need to make the movement so big and so realistic. This has indeed had the effect of making Qinghe County unable to sleep, but the sound heard in the ears of the officers and soldiers of the Zhaozhou Army is probably louder and more terrifying, and it is also impossible to sleep.

Thinking that after dawn, there will be two extremely tired armies yawning and fighting a decisive battle in the morning light, Yang Shanhui was a little crying and laughing. What kind of strength is there to fight, I'm afraid I won't need to make a result, and the soldiers on both sides have no strength to raise their knives. With his understanding of the enemy generals, he didn't think that Cheng Mingzhen would come up with such a boring tactic, so he looked around and asked in a deep voice: "What about Captain Zhou, why didn't the old man see him?" ”

"Captain Zhou heard the sound of the horn and immediately rushed to the front camp!" The intimate guards knew that Yang Shanhui wanted to listen to the opinions of Captain Zhou Wen before making a decision, so he stepped forward and responded in a low voice.

The Zenkai nodded in satisfaction. "After all, I have been trained in the guards, and I always do things in an orderly manner."

Before he finished a word of praise, Zhou Wen had already run back quickly. He waved at Yang Shanhui from afar, and then panted and reported: "My lord, according to the judgment of his subordinates, Cheng Thief is fighting with Lu Thief. Don't miss the opportunity, if I wait now to kill him from behind......"

"Can you see clearly?" Yang Shan would interrupt quickly, almost unable to believe his ears. The snipe clam competition he had been looking forward to was actually born on the eve of the decisive battle. God bless me!

"The last general has been observing within the camp walls. You can see the fires in the distance, and you can hear the sounds of fighting and screams of the wounded. The location should be behind the Cheng thief's camp, it is definitely not fake! Zhou Wen wiped a handful of sweat, and his face turned red from excitement and excitement.

At this time, stabbing Cheng Mingzhen in the back, even if he can't be stabbed to death on the spot, he can also make him take off a layer of skin. There is a sea of blood feud between dozens of people in the Zhou family, and the opportunity for revenge is close at hand.

Yang Shanhui nodded lightly and stroked his beard. The soldiers around them all fell silent, raised their eyes, and waited for the boss to make a decision. The sound of the horn in the distance became deeper and lower, undulating, as if revealing an indescribable mystery. Kill out of the camp and take advantage of the chaos to collect the profits of the fishermen, the temptation is like the eyes of the devil, which is impossible to refuse. But at the same time as the temptation, the danger lies behind the sound of the horn. Once the sound of the fight is a trap made by Cheng Mingzhen and Lu Fangyuan, the Qinghe County soldiers, who are out of the protection of the camp and are not good at night fighting, rush into it, and they will never recover.

"Your Excellency!" An ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart, and Zhou Wen knelt down excitedly, "The last general is willing to use the head of Xiang Shangshang as a guarantee, and there is indeed a fierce battle in the distance!" ”

"You get up first, you get up first!" Yang Shanhui loves talents very much, and he stepped forward and stretched out his hands to hold each other. "You are anxious for revenge, and Yang empathizes. But soldiers, the place of death and life, the way of survival, must not be cautious! ”

"Yes, yes, even if the thieves are really in the fire, after sunrise, it will not be too late for me to collect the fishing profits!" Some people don't like Zhou Wen to be too strong, and some people persuade him out of fear of being deceived again.

Hearing these words, Zhou Wen's eyes immediately turned red. "My lord! The adults were so worried that the last general would not dare to put their beaks on it. The last general only asked my lord to allocate 500 elite soldiers to go out of the camp to find out the reality of the enemy's army. When the last general finds out the situation on the battlefield and whether to attack, it is not too late for the adults to make a decision! ”

After the good society pulled up Zhou Wen, he muttered in a low voice. The temptation of victory was so luscious that he couldn't help but want to follow the other party's advice. But if that happens, Zhou Wen and the five hundred soldiers may never return. Losing a general before fighting is not a good omen. Besides, even if Zhou Wen judged correctly, Cheng Mingzhen and Lu Fangyuan were indeed on fire, but he was so timid that he needed to come forward through a captain to find out the truth, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?

After thinking about it, he decided to be cautious. "Your heart is good. But the old man can't watch you put yourself in danger. Now that it is only a few hours before dawn, since you have endured for so many years for revenge, can't you even endure these last few hours? ”

"Yes, yes, Captain Zhou, please focus on the overall situation!"

"Captain Zhou, my lord is also out of a caring heart!" The civil and military staff followed Yang Shanhui's intentions and tried their best to persuade them.

"Your Excellency!" Zhou Wen's eyes were red, and tears slowly slid down his cheeks. "Master Xie cares, Zhou always remembers it!" While choking, he thanked Yang Shanhui. "Early tomorrow morning, adults must take Zhou as the pioneer. Go straight to the thief's camp and eliminate harm for the people! ”

"The old man can guarantee that the head of the thief will be taken by you!" Yang Shan will raise his palms and swear. The other party can understand his distress and make him very satisfied. If he can defeat Cheng Mingzhen, no matter whether Zhou Wen has made a meritorious service or not, he will give him a few good words in the merit book sent to the imperial court.

"In this way, Zhou will go and recuperate to prepare for tomorrow's battle!" Zhou Wen made another gesture and turned around without hesitation.

This move was a little rude, but considering his state of mind at this time, Yang Shanhui did not intend to investigate with him deeply. "Let's go back and rest later. Or don't disarm. Inform the brethren to be on guard. A thief is like a fox, maybe he will perform some kind of conspiracy!"

The civil and military forces responded in unison as if they were amnesty.

Yang Shanhui's mentality also relaxed a lot, nodded, and took the lead in turning back to the sleeping tent. The sound of horns in the second half of the night was still noisy, with the occasional sound of horses' hooves and shouts circling the camp. But none of them could resist his drowsiness. Half-asleep and half-awake, Yang Shanhui saw that he was invincible with the army, and the thieves and thieves knelt down to surrender, kowtowing and crying, praying for their lives.

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place?" Yang Shanhui sneered and pulled out the horizontal knife, splashing a bloody light. The head is rolling to the ground, but it is not Cheng Thief Mingzhen, but one of his henchmen, and one of them is himself.
