Chapter 61: Who Will Take the Great Head (4)

Late at night, in the New Army camp on the south bank, Wang Mu had already lay down, but he always felt a little uneasy.

The number of troops on the opposite side is smaller, and the quality is far inferior to that of your own side. Tomorrow's head-to-head battle is almost a 100% chance of winning. Then the Green Forest Army will most likely come to attack at night tonight.

Long before the whole army rested, Wang Mu had already issued an order to go down, and tonight we must strengthen our vigilance, and the whole army should be careful of the night attack on the opposite side.

However, for some reason, there was always an ominous premonition in his heart. Even though the arrangement was complete, I still had a vague feeling that something was going to happen.

After hesitating, Wang Mu still asked the guards to summon Zhen Fu over, and instructed him to double the number of guards on duty at night, and at the same time set aside 10,000 people to concentrate next to the main camp and be on call at any time.

"This ...... Isn't it too much? Hearing such a bitter face, Zhen Fu cautiously reminded: "The other party may come to attack at night, but even the current defense is enough." The cautiousness of the lord in the waiter is admired by his subordinates. But if this continues, tomorrow's decisive battle, I'm afraid the soldiers will be too tired......"

In his heart, he had already classified Wang Mu in front of him as a cowardly, incompetent, cowardly and afraid of death.

And 10,000 people standing by your main camp? Fear of death is not such a fear of law!

Zhen Fu thought so in his stomach, but of course he was not stupid enough to say it, but still had a loyal and reliable appearance on his face.

"We have 100,000 people, and even if we take out 10% of the people to watch the night, it will only be 10,000 fewer tomorrow." Wang Mu shook his head, and his tone was firm: "The number of people on the other side is far inferior to us, and Liu Xuan is a risky guy, and the probability of him coming to attack at night tonight is more than ninety percent." ”

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for the people on duty at night." Zhen Fu scolded twice, but he could only bow his head and respectfully agree.

However, just as Zhen Fu got up to leave the tent, the curtain of the tent was lifted. A figure stumbled in, not even informing.

"My lord! My lord! The enemy is attacking at night! ”

Liang Qiuci's face was pale, his expression was flustered, and he knelt in front of Wang Mu panting.

"What?" Wang Mu was stunned. Even if you are in the Chinese army, if you are really attacked at night, you should not be unable to hear any movement here: "How many people? How could our scouts and sentinels not find out? ”

"I don't know the number of people!" Liang Qiuci shook his head in a panic: "But the location ...... The location is on the pontoon there! Now all the pontoons have been burned down! Our retreat is broken! Now the back camp is in chaos! ”

Wang Mu stood up, and looked at Liang Qiuci in disbelief: "How could the pontoon bridge be burned down!" ”

"My subordinates don't know where they came from!" Liang Qiuci cried with a sad face: "The camp left behind on the north bank has been breached, and the flames are soaring!" After the enemy broke through the camp on the north bank, he crossed the river and entered the rear of our army, and now the rear army is also beginning to be in disarray! ”

Wang Mu clenched his fists tightly, didn't bother to ask Liang Qiuci again, and strode out of the tent.

Sure enough, shouts and shouts of killing could be heard from the camp in the rear, and the sky in the distance had turned red.

The blood in Wang Mu's whole body seemed to have been drained, his face was as pale as paper, and a burst of dizziness hit the heavenly spirit.

That location, that kind of firelight, can only come from one result!

- The military camp on the north bank was breached, and the grain and grass in it were burned!

And it was obviously for the sake of safety that he would not be transported to the south bank for the time being! Can ...... now

Liu ...... "Wang Mu shook his body twice, almost falling to the ground....... Fortunately, behind him, Han Zhuo quietly appeared from the shadows of the tent and held his shoulder.

"My lord, because I only care about guarding against the night attack of the enemy in front of me, there are almost no sentries arranged in the rear, and they are all mobilized to the front...... Now after the enemy crossed the river, the camp in the rear was in complete disarray......" Liang Qiuci knelt on the ground, his voice trembled, and he kept kowtowing.

This time, he knew he was really dead.

Wang Mu couldn't stand anymore. He tried his best to open Han Zhuo's hand, slowly squatted down, his hands supporting the ground and gasping for breath, a golden star flashed in front of him.

He inhaled hard, but his chest felt empty and his lungs felt like they were about to burst.

He kept trying to open his mouth to speak, but found that he couldn't get anything out but a hoarse ahhh

"Calm down." Han Zhuo said coldly, and at the same time pressed Wang Mu's back with his hand, pushing and pressing hard. Wang Mu only felt that his body suddenly loosened, and then vomited heavily.

When Wang Mu raised his head with tears in his eyes and the filth on the ground, he realized that he was able to breathe again.

"Thank you...... Han Zhuo ......" Wang Mu choked violently, patted Han Zhuo's hand lightly, and barely stood up on his knees.

"My lord, Zhen Fu has already gone to gather troops and went to the rear camp. Subordinate...... The subordinates ask the lord to punish him! Liang Qiuci still knelt in front of Wang Mu and did not follow Zhen Fu forward. Someone has to be responsible for such a huge loss.

"Reprimand?" Wang Mu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Is it useful to punish him?" Let's quickly destroy the enemy army attacking at night. Although they somehow broke through our blockade and burned the grain and grass and pontoon bridges, their numbers must not be large. We have a number of 100,000 men, and as long as we put order in order, the enemy has nothing to fear. ”

He gasped twice and raised his voice: "Liang Qiu gave an order, mobilized five thousand people from the Chinese army, and went to the rear camp to meet the enemy!" Don't rush forward, move forward slowly. All those who collide with chaos will be killed regardless of whether they are friends or enemies! ”

"Yes!" Liang Qiuci trembled all over his body and kowtowed three times, hurriedly got up and ran into the distance.

"Wait......" Liang Qiuci hadn't gone far before he was stopped by Wang Mu again, hesitated for a moment, but gritted his teeth and said, "Iron-blooded camp...... Take it with you, too. If this does not quell the enemy attacking at night, then ...... Come to me. ”

After speaking, Wang Mu took out a talisman from his waist and threw it at Liang Qiuci's feet.

"Yes! Subordinates obey! ”

Hearing the three words of the Iron Blood Battalion and picking up the talisman from the ground, Liang Qiuci trembled again and replied loudly.

Liu Xuan...... Liu Xuan...... Is the teacher's dream for many years really going to be ruined in your hands? ”

After Liang Qiuci left, Wang Mu raised his head and muttered distractedly.

Since the teacher ascended the throne, there has not been a year in the world without disasters. This time, for this battle in Nanyang, the mobilized soldiers were still secondary, but the grain and grass had almost hollowed out the entire Guanzhong.

And this time, the grain and grass that Wang Mu brought out from Wancheng accounted for half of the teacher's hard work. Of these half, ninety percent are camped in the camps on the north bank.

And at this moment, it has been burned under Liu Xuan's hands.

Not to mention, the pontoon bridge was broken, and the 100,000-strong army had lost its way out.

Without military rations, no matter how many soldiers there are, there is no meaning.

At this moment, Wang Mu had military rations on hand, but it was only enough for the whole army to eat for five days. It will take at least two days to rebuild the pontoon bridge.

Even if the pontoon bridge is rebuilt now, on the way back to Wancheng, Wang Mu will have to deal with the incessant pursuit behind him. Of these 100,000 troops, I don't know if half of them can return to Wancheng smoothly.

Wang Mu had fallen into deep remorse.
