Chapter 12: Fire Attack!
Ji Ling's three-pointed two-edged knife was stuck in the ground, and his body stood at the gate of the camp like a mountain, motionless, his eyes were shining, and his copper bell-like eyes were staring at the woods a hundred meters away, snorting and snorting, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart. After a long time, Ji Lingcai said: "Carry the soldiers on the ground away, there is no need for soldiers to guard the arrow tower, only the soldiers in the camp need to patrol all the time." ”
The captain who was on the night patrol responded: "No, the last general understands! ”
Ji Ling snorted coldly, returned to the camp with a three-pointed two-edged knife, and continued to rest. Bao Hong, who had just come out of the camp, had not yet walked to Ji Ling, and returned to his camp, he knew that Ji Ling was angry, so he was also interested, did not bother Ji Ling, and went back to sleep.
After Ji Ling left, the soldiers who had just run out of the camp also put down their weapons and returned to sleep in their tents.
The night was dark, and the whole camp was quiet again.
Time passed slowly, except for the footsteps of the patrolling soldiers in the barracks, slight snoring came and went, and in the middle of the night, the patrolling soldiers also began to fight with their eyelids, listlessly waiting for the soldiers who came to change the guard.
At this moment, a clattering sound sounded in the woods.
A group of black-pressed people emerged from the woods, and more than 70 Yellow Turban soldiers under Wang Can, as well as more than 20 soldiers under Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, all gathered in the woods, waiting for Wang Can to give an order.
"Drumming!"
Wang Can looked at the quiet military camp with a playful smile on his face.
"Knock, knock, knock~~~~"
A dull drum beat rushed up from the woods, sometimes low, sometimes high, startling the birds that inhabited the woods, and the loud sound made the birds spread their wings and flutter into the distance.
"Blow the trumpet~~~"
At the same time as the war drums sounded, Wang Can gave another order.
"Woo, woo, woo~~~~"
The long and long sound of the horn suddenly seemed to come from afar, waking up the soldiers who were sleeping in a sweet dream, and the soldiers in the barracks opened their sleepy eyes, and the soldiers who had just fallen asleep picked up the weapons that had been put aside, put on and took off the clothes and armor that had not been long ago, and then ran towards the camp in a crowd.
The soldiers yawned and stood listlessly in the barracks, exhausted.
The soldiers were either crooked, or their armor was not properly worn, or their belts were not fastened...... In short, the whole barracks were in a mess, there was no discipline, not only the soldiers were listless, but even the centurions, thousands, captains, and generals yawned one after another, and their eyelids fell down one by one, as if they were about to fall asleep.
Wang Can led a group of soldiers to hide in the dense forest, laughing.
These soldiers of his have nourished enough spirits, and they are waiting to harass Ji Ling at night, and now the officers and soldiers have no spirit, and they are just with Wang Can. When the soldiers laughed, Zhou Cang's face showed a solemn expression, and he asked worriedly: "Lord, we only hurt the officers and soldiers by harassing them like this, and we didn't really hit the officers and soldiers, can this kind of harassment be useful?" ”
Wang Can said with a smile: "I didn't plan to attack the officers and soldiers by harassment, this was just a means to anger Ji Ling." ”
Ji Ling? Wang Can sneered, such a general was sent to Runan to attack the Yellow Turban Thief, I am afraid that I will be angry in my heart, and I have long been dissatisfied, and now what Wang Can wants to do is to completely stimulate the dissatisfaction in Ji Ling's heart, so that Ji Ling will lose his mind, so as to achieve the effect that Wang Can needs.
Ji Ling was just like Wang Can thought, very angry, his face was pale, he didn't say a word, and the whole person was like a tigress who had been robbed of her cubs, and she was furious.
A group of thieves actually came to harass again.
Ji Ling walked to the barracks and stood in front of the soldiers, and the three-pointed and two-edged knife in his hand slammed into the ground.
"Wang Yue, gather the soldiers under your command, and you are going to exterminate the thieves in the mountains and forests." Ji Ling roared, his voice like a tiger and leopard roaring, full of anger.
Captain Wang Yue shouted loudly: "No! ”
Wang Yue replied, and then was about to turn around and gather the soldiers under his command, just as he was about to leave, Bao Hong ran out quickly, stopped Wang Yue, who was about to leave, and said, "Captain Wang, wait a minute, I have something to say!" ”
"General Bao, what do you mean by stopping my soldiers?"
Ji Ling's heart was full of anger, no matter how Bao Hong was an ally of Yuan Shu, besides, Yuan Shu was born in the fourth generation of the Yuan family and the third duke, the family was prominent, when the court Situ Yuan Huai was the head of the Yuan family, his status was prominent, and he was the pillar of the imperial court.
At this time, Ji Ling was unhappy in his heart, so he didn't want to take care of Bao Hong.
With a cold face and eyes like electricity, he stared at Bao Hong, waiting for Bao Hong to speak.
Bao Hong was angry in his heart, he was also the commander of the allied forces this time, Ji Ling was so rude, but he thought that Yuan Shu was powerful, and he also had the idea of attaching to Yuan Shu, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, with a pleasant smile on his face, walked up to Ji Ling, and said with a smile: "General Ji, it's just a group of thieves, there are patrolling soldiers in the camp, and there are horses outside to protect it, this group of thieves can't enter the camp at all, why bother to be angry with the thieves, the army will rush to Runan City tomorrow, it's better to rest early, raise your spirits, and attack Runan City tomorrow." ”
Ji Ling snorted coldly, but stopped talking.
Ji Ling can be a general of one side, it's not that he is incapable, but he is irritable and easy to get angry, after listening to Bao Hong's words, he also understands that it is obviously unwise to send troops at this time, especially in the dark night, it is easy to be ambushed. Ji Ling's face turned blue and white for a while, and after a long time, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he waved his hand angrily and said: "That's it, that's it, Lao Tzu went back to sleep, damn, these little thieves of the dog day, if Lao Tzu catches them, they must be skinned and cramped." ”
After finishing speaking, Ji Ling picked up the three-pointed two-edged knife inserted in the ground and went back to the barracks.
Bao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sighed in his heart.
Ji Ling's murderous aura was too heavy, when Bao Hong faced Ji Ling head-on, he only felt a chill in his back, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, for fear that Ji Ling would suddenly become angry, he grabbed the three-pointed two-edged knife on the ground and slashed at him, fortunately, this barbarian was still more sensible, and he really went back to sleep, he turned to Wang Yue and said: "Captain Wang, let the soldiers under your command go to rest, don't worry about the bandits harassing you outside the barracks, let them go, as long as they don't attack the barracks." ”
Wang Yue said: "No, the last general will obey the order." ”
Bao Hong nodded, and then turned around and went back to the camp tent to sleep, he didn't rest well, he yawned a lot, and he wanted to go back to the camp to sleep for a long time. In a quarter of an hour, the soldiers, who had just been dressed and assembled in the barracks, returned to the barracks, took off their armor, put their weapons aside, and went back to sleep.
Wang Can hid in the mountains and forests, with a sneer, it was over without troops, hum, the show was still to come.
With a gesture of his hand, he ordered: "Pei Yuanshao, you lead the twenty soldiers under your command to carry bows and arrows, rags, and grease to ambush behind the officers and soldiers barracks, and when a fire breaks out in front of the barracks, you immediately let the soldiers under your command launch rockets, and the rockets must be aimed at the back of the barracks, and they must be dispersed and not concentrated, so as to give the officers and soldiers the illusion that we have many people, but we can't waste bows and arrows, and there are not many bows and arrows in our hands, as well as rags and grease, which are all transported by Runan City with great difficulty." ”
Pei Yuanshao said in a deep voice: "No! ”
After finishing speaking, Pei Yuanshao made a move, and more than 20 soldiers under his command stood behind Pei Yuanshao with bows and arrows on their backs, wrapped rags and grease in their hands.
After Pei Yuanshao's people were assigned, Wang Can ordered again: "Zhou Cang, you also take twenty soldiers to lurk on the right side of the barracks, and after the fire in front of the barracks, let the soldiers under your command launch rockets and shoot them into the right side of the barracks. ”
"No!" Zhou Cang replied, and then beckoned the twenty soldiers who had already been assigned to stand behind him.
"Liu Cheng, you led twenty soldiers to ambush on the left side of the barracks, and the requirements were the same as Pei Yuanshao and Zhou Cang, and after the fire broke out in front of you, you ordered the rocket to be launched, which also created the illusion that we have a lot of people!"
"No!" Liu Cheng replied excitedly, he was finally reused by Wang Can, and with a smile, he beckoned the assigned twenty soldiers to stand aside, waiting for Wang Can's final order.
After Wang Can finished speaking, he said, "The rest of the soldiers followed me and sent a signal directly in front of the barracks. ”
After a pause, he said: "Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Cheng, the three of you shoot rockets, and when the fire is huge, you will immediately retreat, come here to join me, and then wait for the final order."
"No!" All three replied at the same time.
"Alright, go ahead, stay safe!" Wang Can waved his hand.
