Chapter 146: The Killing Machine of the Night (Part II)
Li Ming didn't know if Liu Ting had guessed this possibility, but in the spirit of humanitarianism, he still sent someone to tell them. Tonight's enemy is afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with than during the day, and there are more men and security.
Seriously, if the enemy continues to harass him day and night, even if he is a heavenly soldier, he is afraid that he will not be able to hold out for many days.
Not only Guo Jia saw it, but Li Ming also saw it. The original giant ape demon general was the other party to test whether the coalition forces had the ability to fight the demon beast alone. Only the ambushes also test their ability to meet the enemy.
What cannot be ignored is that in this process, the night attack on the first day, as well as the successive attacks, not only made most of the soldiers and nerves in a tense state, but the key is that many soldiers are now a little tired.
The soldiers under Li Ming, Cao Cao, and Lu Bu were fine, and because they had enough spirit beast meat to replenish, their spirits recovered quickly. Liu Ting's side had no choice, together with the three forces of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zhan, the physical consumption was very large.
"The strategy of exhausting the enemy, this is the real purpose of the South Vietnamese State! Under the command of that snake country lord, there should be a good strategist! Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, and even Cheng Yu analyzed.
"If so, then they are doomed to disappointment!" Lu Bu laughed when he heard this, because of their three armies, the soldiers suffered the least losses, and at the same time, their physical strength and morale declined the slowest, and now they still have enough energy to meet them.
"The vision of the night will be greatly affected, so everyone should be careful!" Li Ming solemnly reminded.
The person who told Liu Ting in the past came back and brought back a sentence from Liu Ting: "Got it!" ”
Obviously, Liu Ting also realized this. But perhaps it was because of this realization that he seemed a little impatient. As a result of further investigation, after entering the evening, the Imperial Alliance had already begun to increase the construction of fortifications.
"Does a wooden one make sense?" Lu Bu looked at those horse rejection guns, "Those rats will still bite off the rope, and in the end, whether it is a fence or a trap, it will only be lifted by ordinary rats!" ”
"Their purpose is only to delay the arrival of the enemy!" Li Ming had already seen Liu Ting's intentions, or Shen Ye's intentions, Sun Jian's side had started to rest early, but Liu Pan and Zhang Ren had raised their vigilance to the maximum and kept an eye on the surroundings.
"It's a pity that there is no oil or gunpowder, otherwise it would be more refreshing!" Li Ming was a little regretful, as for the gunpowder in his mouth, it was not the legendary black powder, but the gunpowder of this era. In those days, gunpowder was mainly a fire-starter, and because of the addition of a lot of messy things, it would even emit poisonous smoke when ignited, killing and injuring the enemy.
People's thinking has gone in the wrong direction, perhaps the original purpose of the inventor of gunpowder was to facilitate fire attack, so the thing made will be named 'gunpowder' instead of 'explosives'. As a result, for a long time, the research direction of later generations continued to be carried out in the direction of 'gunpowder', which led to the astray.
"I've got some gunpowder with me, do you want to?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.
"Bring me as many as you want!" Li Ming was suddenly interested, he really didn't expect Cao Cao to carry this thing. It's not that I haven't thought about purification, it's just that the materials were taken from Cao Cao, who was only afraid that it would be reversed after going back, and when the time came, he would have to let this era enter the gunpowder period, which was not a good thing.
After all, in this land, the mainstream war is still a civil war, and there is no need to fight to the death! I don't know if it's a system or something else, but it's going to make the campaign setting, and it doesn't necessarily have the concept of reducing kills!
Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was already about three o'clock in the evening.
Camping in the wilderness felt very bad, with insects chirping everywhere and mosquitoes flying in from time to time. It's only autumn now, and the weather is still a little hot, especially in this jungle environment, there are a lot of mosquitoes.
But thanks to these insects, people can understand that the surroundings are quite safe. In such an environment, they are natural scouts, and if something approaches, they will all stop calling.
Li Ming and Lu Bu also had a good night's sleep, whether it was Chi Su or Broken Moon, they were still very familiar with the breath of beasts, especially the breath of spirit beasts and even demon beasts, which were about three miles apart, and they could vaguely feel it.
"Moo-meow!" Shattered Moon suddenly arched towards Li Ming, alerting him to the approaching enemy.
"Just came?" Li Ming yawned and slowly stood up. The biggest meaning of sleep is to eliminate the fatigue DEBUFF effect, if you don't consider this, he, Zhang Mo, and Xi Zhicai have unlimited physical strength and energy in forty-eight hours.
"Moo-meow!" Broken Moon snorted, apparently not sleeping well in the middle of the night, and it was very tired. It's not an existence with unlimited energy, and even if it's a quasi-demon beast, it needs enough sleep.
"It's too much, you just stay and rest!" Li Ming patted Shattered Moon on the back.
The movement of Broken Moon also woke up the surrounding guards, and they naturally understood why Broken Moon was screaming, so they quickly began to be on guard. I have to say that thanks to the blessing of the broken moon, they at least charged and slept for a while, and they didn't need to strain their nerves.
Lu Bu was a little late, but he also got up in his sleep, stretched his waist, and was completely awake.
"How did you sleep?" Li Ming looked at Lu Bu.
"It's not good, knowing that the enemy may attack at night, how can you sleep well, I admire you a little bit!" Lu Bu looked at Li Ming, looking at the other party's energetic appearance, he had to admire Li Ming's rough nerves.
Of course, Li Ming knew that Lu Bu had misunderstood, but he was too lazy to explain, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
The surrounding insect chirping suddenly stopped, but Cao Cao and Sun Jian's side had been woken up by Li Ming's side, and the large army was assembled in advance, but according to the plan, only a small number of patrols were wandering outside, and most of them were just on standby.
"I have to say, thank you this time!" Sun Jian looked at Li Ming, "Everyone is their own master, I support the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and you ...... I can't comment on it. I just hope that one day we will not meet on the battlefield! ”
"Yes, killing you with my own hands will make me very embarrassed!" Li Ming teased.
"I have a son, Sun Kuang, who is four years old, and has arranged for manpower to be sent back to his hometown in Fuchun. For the sake of your and my past relationship, help me take care of him! Sun Jian whispered.
"Is this your Sun's way back?" Li Ming looked at Sun Jian with interest.
"Most of the king's mind cannot tolerate those generals who have great influence. Me or Ma Teng, no matter how loyal you are, when you reach a certain level, you will threaten him! Sun Jian said slowly, "Especially since we are not his descendants, it is difficult to get his real trust!" ”
"I'd love you to come over at any time! Danyang or Hui Ji Taishou, or even be a general! Li Ming made a promise.
"I appreciate your kindness!" Sun Jian smiled, which was equivalent to declining Li Ming's invitation.
At the same time, in the jungle in the distance, there was a sound of rustling, and it was not long before there was an overwhelming swarm of rats, and the number was probably still higher than that of the group of rats during the day, and visually speaking, it was at least twice as much.
"What a big surprise!" Seeing this, Li Ming couldn't help but tease.
