Chapter 370: Difficult Mission
He led the remaining dozens of dead soldiers who entered the Jiangdong camp with him, and exchanged hands with the Jiangdong soldiers guarding the grain and grass, pretending to continue to attack the other part of the grain and grass, but his eyes kept looking in the direction where the tent was.
Finally, one by one, the torches appeared slightly in the rainy night, followed by the neighing of the leading horses, Guan Ping listened, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that it was almost time for him to retreat to the designated position.
Sure enough, with the help of the flickering torches in the rain, Guan Ping vaguely saw that the armor of the leader was very special, and he was an important general at a glance, so he no longer hesitated, and when the enemy's offensive became fierce due to the arrival of reinforcements, he whistled, and all the dead soldiers around him fled outside the camp along the road they had decided before.
Looking at the actions of this group of arsonists, Lu Xun's eyes flashed slightly, he saw that these people were all coming on foot, and did not rush forward to pursue, but first ordered the sergeants under his command to extinguish the fire that caused a lot of commotion in the camp, and then led a group of sergeants to follow Guan Ping out of the camp with the black-clothed people.
Guan Ping still had hundreds of black-clothed people left on his side at this time, and they were moving forward like ghosts in the rain, if it weren't for the fact that these people led by Lu Xun were all riding horses, they would have lost their traces long ago.
"Hurry up and inform the governor of Lümeng and send a team of cavalry to come." Seeing that only the cavalry could keep up, Lu Xun's mind was spinning, and a thought came to his heart, so he led the army to continue to follow, and sent people back to inform Lu Meng.
Not long after, Lu Meng sent all the cavalry in the camp to Lu Xun, and he was still guarding in the camp, Zhuge Liang's tricks made Lu Meng absolutely not dare to act rashly at this time, this stormy night added a lot of variables to this battle of life and death, so that he had to cheer up in his heart.
"You will lead a thousand cavalry, chase and kill these horses as fast as possible, they will not stop, and if there is any change, you must send men and horses back to inform me! Extinguish the torches during the pursuit, and the horses line up horizontally before chasing! ”
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Xun listened to it, and then gave such an order to one of his lieutenants, just because he thought of a very high possibility in his heart, and in this rainy night, he might be able to detect whether this possibility was real.
After sending out that cadre of cavalry, Lu Xun left dozens of sergeants to wait here, but he rode back to the camp, this idea, he had to inform Lu Meng as soon as possible, in the face of a strong enemy like Zhuge Liang, the two of them must work together to have the possibility of repelling Zhuge Liang.
"Bo Yan thinks that those black-clothed people who set fire to it are Zhuge Liang's bait?"
"Yes, Zhuge Liang's tactics are very strange, and he will never send this team of men and horses alone to burn our army's grain and grass, so these fast-moving men in black must have another purpose, and when I led the army to chase after me before, I found that he did not go all out to get rid of us, but deliberately kept a certain distance from us in the rainy night, and did not hesitate to cost the lives of some sergeants."
Lu Xun relied on his keen observation and thought of such a possibility, and when he said this just now, Lu Meng also bowed his head slightly to show his approval.
"Could it be that Zhuge Liang wants to use these black-clothed men to lure us out, and then raid the camp?"
"In my opinion, this is not the case, if Zhuge Liang is really like this, he will definitely not just send hundreds of people here, how can we go out for hundreds of people, so he must have a deep meaning in doing this."
"On such a rainy night, since Zhuge Liang has taken action, it will definitely not be just such an innocuous act......" Obviously, Lu Meng was also trying his best to guess Zhuge Liang's purpose, but until this time, his mind was still chaotic, and he couldn't find a reasonable explanation for a while.
"I've sent sergeants to follow those hundreds of men in black closely, and no matter what the outcome is, there will be feedback."
The two did not guess the result at this time, so they could only pin their hopes on the sergeants they sent, and they never dared to leave the camp without permission, for fear of falling into Zhuge Liang's tricks.
Nearly an hour passed, and after a while, the sky was about to dawn, and finally, a rush of footsteps came to the front of the two, only to see that Lu Xun had left on the way to wait for the news of the person who walked in with a sergeant, the sergeant was already seriously injured at this time, and there was still a sharp arrow stuck in his back, and there was still blood left, whether it could be rescued was still unknown, but at this time he was still conscious, and he was obviously able to accept the inquiry of the two.
"What did you find?" Lu Xun knew at a glance that there must be important news, so he ordered someone to ask the military doctor who accompanied the army, and asked closely.
"The two governors, I waited for the horses to chase those black-clothed people, to the east side of our military camp less than ten miles, there is a small wood, behind the forest is a flat place, those black-clothed people into the dense forest, I had to get off the horse and walk in, until we chased out of the forest, there was a rain of arrows, the villain was chasing at the front, fortunately not hit the arrow, directly lying on the ground, and then crawled forward some distance, I don't want to have to find!"
"What did you find?" As soon as Lu Meng heard the terrain, he knew in his heart what place it was, it was already very close to their camp, and if he braved the rain to take advantage of the chaos to attack, he would obviously be able to catch them off guard.
"On that flat land, densely packed with soldiers and horses, from top to bottom, there are countless torches, afraid of no less than forty or fifty thousand, the villain saw this scene and hurriedly galloped back, not wanting to be discovered by those who released the arrows, chasing all the way, a seriously injured brother gave me the war horse, and he pretended to be killed by Sergeant Zhuge Liang, so that they could retreat, the villain was able to come back, and those brothers who went with him have been wiped out!"
When the sergeant finished speaking, his eyes were full of tears.
"That team of men and horses really came to spy on the defense in my camp, not to burn the grain and grass, at this time I informed Zhuge Liang of the situation in the camp, and killed all the people I sent to pursue, in order to naturally cause chaos and panic in our army, I think I want to wait until the rain is clear, and our army's guards are lax before attacking, Zhuge Liang knows that we will be well prepared on this rainy night, so he did the opposite!" Lu Xun connected this one thing and quickly came to a conclusion.
"Yes, but what he didn't think of now is that we have learned where his main army is!"
