414 Acting separately
When Wu Xiang heard this, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said in a panicked tone: "Hurry, hurry, pull out the camp immediately, and withdraw ...... quickly."
"Sir, sir, please slow!" When the general on the side heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly stopped, "Sir, it is easy to blow up the camp when you pull out the camp late at night, don't do it!" ”
When Wu Xiang heard this, he stared at him with a little disbelief.
"Sir, now that the two armies are facing each other, the spirits of the soldiers are tense, and it is strictly forbidden to make noise in the barracks at this time. As soon as there was movement, the soldiers thought that the enemy was coming, one person panicked, everyone was in chaos, and the situation was uncontrollable! ”
Wu Xiang listened, and after staring at him for a while, he seemed to believe it a little.
"Sir, even if there is nothing to do with the camp at this time, our army is all cavalry, and the night march will not be able to play its strengths at all. Only by waiting for the action after dawn, even if the thieves are blocked by the infantry army, they will definitely not be able to stop the iron cavalry charge! ”
Hearing this, Wu Xiang finally nodded, his face looked a little better, and said, "Yes, you are reasonable." But we still have to be prepared to leave as soon as dawn and leave without giving the thieves a chance to attack us! ”
"The last general obeys!" The general was so bitter that he finally said that Wu Xiang was moved, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly agreed.
The night is getting darker, and more and more people can't resist drowsiness and fall asleep. Of course, there are also some sentinels.
But suddenly, near the south gate of Dai County, the sound of "boom boom" ground cannon sounded, which was particularly loud in the silent environment under the night.
The thieves outside the city suddenly woke up one by one, some thought that the imperial reinforcements had arrived, and some thought that the officials and soldiers in the city had come out, and it was suddenly a mess under the night. When the thieves gathered their men and flocked to the south gate to check the movement, they found that there was no movement from the county officials and soldiers, and they immediately scolded them angrily for a while, and then they returned to various places and continued to sleep and sleep.
They didn't know that just as they were making a fuss, a team of about 300 people quietly slipped out of the north gate and rushed to Balipu, which was ten miles away.
In this team, there were probably more than a hundred horsemen. If it's daytime, I'll probably laugh out loud when I see this team. There is no other reason, most of the war horses in the team are old and weak horses, and even mules, donkeys, oxen, etc. Except for a few who rode on them, most of them were just leading them.
These people are naturally the acting county officials and soldiers led by Sun Chuanting. With the help of the dim moonlight, they relied on their familiarity with their surroundings to walk along the official road without torches. The animals had small sticks tied to their mouths and thick cotton wool tied to the soles of their feet, so that so many people walked on the official road without making much noise.
Sun Chuanting rode on a horse as a matter of course, and did not need to walk, he looked up from time to time to see the position of the moon in the sky, and then seemed to be in a daze.
After walking like this for about an hour, they turned a corner, and finally could see Balipu in the distance.
I saw in the distance, piles of bonfires, like stars in the sky, dense and shining. In fact, at this time, many bonfires have been extinguished or the light of the fire is weak, otherwise the scene will be even more spectacular.
Many people in the team were shocked when they saw the situation in Balipu. They nervous for no apparent reason. Thinking that with just 300 or so people, can he really defeat so many thieves?
Reason tells them that this is absolutely impossible. But when they saw the figure on the back of the horse walking in front, they neglected their reason emotionally, and Master Sun was not afraid, could they still panic?
At the same time, in Zhang Xianzhong's camp, he gathered about 200 people, all wearing Ming army uniforms, and these people were undoubtedly the ones who came out of his team. Of course, not all of them, but the people he picked.
He didn't talk much nonsense, and he didn't explain it to them. Just order them, and the detachment patrols to the specified place and waits for the next order. waited until more than 200 people left, and then he took Zhang Dingguo to follow.
At the assembly site, many people saw that there were also many brothers from the border army patrolling over the side of the collapse of the sky, and they immediately felt something unusual, so they talked in a low voice.
"Huh, what's going on?"
"Does the leader have any mission for us to do? Brother, what are you doing here? ”
"How do I know, just listen to the above, patrol over, put off the torch here, etc!"
“……”
While they were talking, some of the leaders stepped forward and whispered at them to shut up. Amid the shouting and reprimands, the assembly point finally fell silent.
After a while, Liu Guoneng appeared, and after he asked the eight queens, he asked most of the remaining torches to be extinguished. Then he didn't say anything, just waited in silence. The atmosphere slowly became a little solemn and a little tense. If you want to say that there is nothing, the ghost doesn't believe it! Those subordinates from the border army couldn't speak, couldn't inquire, just stood like that, not to mention how depressed they were, secretly guessing what the hell the bosses were going to do?
This situation lasted until Zhang Xianzhong appeared, and the silent atmosphere was broken. Liu Guoneng leaned over and asked in a low voice, "How?" ”
He didn't have Zhang Dingguo, and he didn't know the situation in Daixian, so he was a little nervous in his heart, and as soon as he saw Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Dingguo appear, he immediately asked.
Zhang Xianzhong nodded and replied in a low voice: "Everything is fine!" ”
These words made Liu Guoneng feel at ease, and at the same time he looked at Zhang Dingguo, very curious in his heart, this kid's ability is too great!
While thinking in his heart, he turned around, faced his subordinates, and explained in a low voice: "Tonight's incident is very important, everyone listens to the Eight Kings, and whoever doesn't listen, don't blame my brother for not saying hello in advance!" ”
His cronies immediately responded, saying that they would definitely listen to the Eight Kings.
In fact, the border army in every rogue army is their backbone, the object of each leader's wooing, and one of their cronies. Therefore, it is not a particularly big matter, and these thieves from the border army will not get along with the leader openly.
After Liu Guoneng finished explaining, he turned his head to look at Zhang Xianzhong and said, "In this way, I will go back!" ”
"Rest assured, act according to plan!" Zhang Xianzhong reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and whispered a word of encouragement. Then he took Zhang Dingguo, waved his hand, let the people on both sides become one, and followed him slowly disappeared into the darkness.
Although Zhang Dingguo is small, he is not nervous at all. Led by Zhang Xianzhong, he consciously entered the temporary group of the chat group and reported the situation here.
On this special night, even Emperor Chongzhen couldn't sleep. Even during the day, Liu Wang's side rarely cared about the action, but after learning the news that the result was going well, he focused his energy on this side.
