Chapter 234: Qinglong Pass
Under the Qinglong Pass, the Luo Tong army arrived, due to the days of hurrying, the army was exhausted, only stationed ten miles outside the city pass, rest and recuperate, and then attack the city in a big way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The army was stationed, Luo Tong sent a lot of spies to spread in all directions, and asked Qin Huaiyu to arrange manpower patrols, and also placed many rejecting horses outside the promise, if the enemy cavalry attacked, it could slow down the opponent's attack.
After everything was done, I breathed a sigh of relief, the barracks were in order, patrolling, standing guard, and very rigorous.
Late at night, about a watch or so.
Just as the 80,000 people in the barracks were asleep, something happened when they heard the sound of war drums outside the camp, which was like thunder on a sunny day, which made people wake up suddenly.
Luo Tong was the first to wake up, and after waking up, he turned over, grabbed the silver spear and rushed out of the camp tent, at the same time, Luo Yi, Cheng Yanjin, Qin Huaiyu and others also woke up, and rushed out of the camp tent one after another, and gathered outside the tent of the Chinese army.
"What's wrong? What happened? ”
Listening to the sound of war drums from outside the camp, Cheng Yanjin shouted loudly.
When I listened carefully, I didn't know that the drums of war were coming from one direction, as if they were east, or west, or south, or north, and finally it was determined that they were coming from all four directions.
Is there really an enemy attack? Or is the enemy bluffing?
Luo Daodao: "First order each battalion to hold on, wait for the opportunity to attack, uncle, Huaiyu, let's go to Xizhai to have a look." ”
"Okay."
After the order, Luo Tong, Cheng Yanjin, and Qin Huaiyu went to Xizhai, while Wei Chi Baolin, Cheng Tiehuan, Cheng Liang, Luo Yi, and Zhao Wenyong went to the north, south, and east Sanzhai respectively to check the enemy's situation.
Luo Yi went to Nanzhai, and only after he arrived did he see that there were not many people on the enemy side, just a little more flags, and then there were many war drums, more than 100 people with more than 100 war drums, beating outside the camp, and the sound shook the sky.
In this case, the first impression is that the enemy is bluffing, making trouble, and his intention is only to make it impossible for the soldiers in the battalion to rest.
Even Luo Yi thought so, and almost all the generals had this thought, but everyone didn't dare to be careless, even if they knew that the enemy was making trouble, they were nervous, and they were actively preparing to counterattack at any time.
Because you can't be sure if the enemy is here to make trouble, but if you relax and go to sleep, what if the enemy really attacks?
With Luo Yi to Nanzhai, there was also Zhao Wenyong, Zhao Wenyong was relatively tall, and his eyes were good, so he saw through the enemy army outside the village, and said: "It seems that there are less than 200 people, and they don't have any blades, only drumming, and nothing else, huh?" What are they doing here? ”
Luo Yi said: "It's nothing more than two purposes, either to lure the snake out of the hole and ambush it, or to make pure trouble, so that we can't sleep, the soldiers can't rest, and tomorrow the siege will definitely be demoralized." ”
"What then?"
Luo Yi said: "Fight, there are more than 100 soldiers outside the village, it is impossible to go fast with war drums, Wen Yong, you take 500 elite horsemen to kill the enemy outside." ”
"Okay, I'll go."
"Wait."
Luo Yi said: "They also seem to be equipped with war horses, if you run away, you don't have to pursue, after destroying the war drums, turn around and return, remember that the poor Kou Mo chases." ”
"Yes."
Zhao Wenyong returned to the camp, selected 500 cavalry, and asked the soldiers guarding the gate to open the south gate and rush out.
Seeing Zhao Wenyong leading his troops to kill, the more than 100 soldiers beating the drums outside immediately stopped, turned on their horses, and drove away, towards the depths of the night, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Wenyong followed Luo Yi's instructions and led the soldiers forward, and did not pursue, but destroyed the hundreds of war drums on the ground, and then turned them back.
"Alright, let's go back."
"Is this going back? If the enemy goes and returns.... ”
Luo Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's okay, even if you come back, it will be two hours later." ”
Luo Yi and Zhao Wenyong returned to the Chinese military tent, and at the same time, Cheng Yanjin, Luo Tong and others also came back one after another, and the handling methods of several people were similar to Luo Yi's, sending troops out to destroy the war drums, and then turned back, and did not pursue.
The drumming stopped, and Luo Tong sent an order to continue resting.
Everyone sat in the tent of the Chinese army for a while, and they did not see any movement outside for a long time, and gradually relaxed, and prepared to go back to their camp, but the truth was cruel, and before everyone could get up, the drums outside sounded again, and it was more deafening than the first time.
Calculating the time, it was less than an hour before the last time, and when the time rang, the soldiers in the camp did not even sleep, and many of them were awakened as soon as they fell asleep.
Immediately, there was another panicked busyness, getting up and gathering, Luo Yi, Luo Tong, Cheng Yanjin, Cheng Liang, Qin Huaiyu, etc., went to the east, west, south and north directions to check.
The situation was similar to the first time, and more than 100 people beat war drums to make trouble outside the camp.
The same method was to send 500 soldiers to drive away the troublemakers and then destroy the war drums that had been left in place.
After such a toss, another hour passed, and when everyone gathered in the Zhongjun tent again, they were all a little angry, when will it be a head if it goes on like this.
If the soldiers can't rest, they won't have the spirit to attack the city, and how to fight the next day's battle.
Seeing that it was about to dawn, I couldn't sleep, so I could only sit in the tent of the Chinese army.
At dawn, the war drums sounded outside the camp again, this time the time was very short, Xu was afraid that the army in the camp would chase him out, and before Luo Yi and others went to the walled building, more than 100 enemy soldiers had already withdrawn. However, the earth-shattering sound of war drums had already woken up the soldiers in the camp, and they did not fall asleep at all.
"Now we can conclude that these guys are here to make trouble, how can this be justified!"
Luo Tong couldn't help but be angry.
When this kind of thing happens, everyone has to be angry, they haven't slept all night, and they have been busy all night in front of and behind the camp, and tens of thousands of troops have been tortured into inhuman shape.
Luo Yi said: "I don't think so, it's true to make trouble, but you can't guard against it; It's like the story of the wolf... ”
"The wolf is coming? What do you mean? ”
Regarding Luo Yi's new term, Cheng Yanjin and Luo Tong don't know much about it.
Luo Yi smiled and explained, "I'll tell you a story, you'll understand when you're done." ”
"Okay, okay..."
Luo Yi said: "Said that once upon a time there was a small village, there was a child in the village, he had to go to the hillside behind the village every day to herd sheep, go out in the morning, and come back in the evening, but this kind of life was too boring and boring, one day, he thought of a way, shouted to the bottom of the hill 'The wolf is coming' The people in the village heard this sound, they all picked up the flat pole and weapons, and went up the mountain in a panic, but after going up, they found that there was no wolf at all, and the villagers went back angrily; After a while, the child who was herding the sheep was amused, and shouted again, 'The wolf is coming, The villagers were afraid that there would be a wolf coming, and they would eat all the sheep, so they had no choice but to continue to pick up their weapons and run up the mountain, but after going up the mountain, they found that there was no wolf; after reprimanding the child, the villagers went back; the child laughed and was in a very happy mood, but in the evening, the wolf really came, and the child was terrified and shouted violently down the mountain, but this time none of the villagers went up, only when he was playing blindly again, the wolf ate all the sheep cleanly, and the child ran home crying. ”
"This is the story of the wolf, the enemy is the wolf, we are the sheep, the villagers, the war drums are like the cry of the sheep children, if we don't believe it, one time, the enemy army comes, we will be defeated."
Luo Yi said very vividly, pictures appeared in everyone's minds, everyone listened with relish, and the fatigue of the night disappeared for most of the time.
If you think about the story just now, it is really similar to today's drum sound, once or twice you can not believe it, but three times or four times, seven times or eight times, when your nerves are completely relaxed, the enemy will give you a fatal blow.
Just like tonight, if they all go to bed at dawn, and the enemy does not beat the drums of war, only 5,000 cavalry will come, and they will be able to defeat the army of Luo Tong.
"This story is good, we must take it as a warning and not be deceived by superficial phenomena."
Cheng Yanjin nodded and said meaningfully.
A small story made everyone more vigilant, afraid of becoming a child herding sheep, or rather, those sheep that were eaten.
"Brother Luo, are you attacking the city today?"
Looking at the sky outside, it was already bright, and according to the plan, it was time to attack the city. But at this time, everyone was in bad spirits, Luo Tong shook his head, and said, "Forget it, let's go back and rest, rest in the morning, and attack the city in the afternoon." I'd rather go to Xiliang a day later than let the soldiers die innocently. ”
"Qinglong Pass is not a big pass, and there is no dangerous city, one afternoon should be enough to conquer."
In response, everyone left one after another to make up for sleep.
