PS: What's going on today?

It's coming, it's starting again, always shouting and running a distance before turning back, and the feint attack of a thousand rates is not only annoying but also annoying.
Look, it's a sudden bright fire dragon, and the sudden light from the dark can always stun people's eyes, making the vision a little uncomfortable for a short time.
Well? Sure enough, the shouting stopped at a distance, and the damn guys had put out the torches and had to step back.
Hey!? Why was the bonfire in the back also extinguished? Could it be that the enemy army was tired from harassment all night and wanted to retreat, or did the firewood from the campfire burn out?
The eyes were visually exposed from pitch black to sudden light, and after recovering from darkness, they felt even darker when they saw anything, Qin Pawn had been repeatedly attacked by more than ten or twenty times and lowered their vigilance a lot, although they would still pay attention to the movement in front of them, but because their eyesight had not yet readapted to the darkness, they couldn't see anything clearly from ten meters away.
Su Lie held the giant sword in his hand and tried his best to lighten his steps, and behind him were dense soldiers who were also light-footed.
The six thousand soldiers who had been selected to charge the camp had already crossed the trench in front of the Qin camp, carrying some fire oil in addition to their weapons.
Even if the six thousand people were careful to light their steps, they would inevitably make a sound of knowing the rope, but fortunately, the wind was still blowing south from the direction of the Qin camp, and the wind would at least not inform the Qin army with a sound.
There are also bonfires fifty steps in front of the Qin camp, which is something that every army will do, and the intention is naturally to light up the front as an early warning line.
There is an early warning line. It was impossible for Su Lie to quietly approach the Qin army's camp, all they could do was to get as close as possible, the later the Qin soldiers found out, the more beneficial it would be for their surprise attack, after all, it would take time from being discovered to the Qin army gathering people to defend.
When he was almost twenty steps closer to the bonfire set up by the Qin camp, Su Lie turned his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him, in fact, he also looked dark, it was just a subconscious action.
Approaching ten steps, Su Lie took a deep breath and shouted: "Attack!" After shouting, he ran with a giant sword and took the lead.
The word "attack" was shouted. The 6,000 soldiers who approached and were preparing for a sneak attack were told in advance that they could not shout, but they also quickened their pace.
The Qin pawns who were put on the front line of alert thought that they had misheard, and the momentary hesitation was just hesitation, and one by one the Qin pawns who originally thought it was another feint attack and relaxed, after they hesitated, they all opened their eyes and looked ahead, and the horn in their hands was also put to their mouths and ready to blow at any time, and their ears were attentively listening to the movement ahead.
The first figure, the second, the third......
Thousands of people appeared silently in the faint light of the bonfire in front of the camp, and every Qin soldier in charge of guarding had their eyes shrink. Almost subconsciously, he blew the horn on his lips.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
More than one horn sounded, Sima Xin, who was just about to fall asleep, turned over, and when he patted his head to wake up, a person rushed in from outside.
"Commander, the enemy launches a night attack!" The person who came was Sima Xin's personal soldier team.
At first, the Qin military camp was full of human voices. After a while, the officers' shouts and shouts stopped the corporal and the soldiers were quiet, and Sima Xin came out of the camp tent and saw the chief and the tun chief of the grassroots level assembling the soldiers, and the hundred generals were rushing to the front with a group of assembled soldiers.
"How many of the enemy launched a night attack? Will the three camps be attacked together, or will only the Chinese army be attacked? "It's a bit muddy, though. Sima Xin still asked a crucial question.
Shao Ai, who rushed over, immediately said: "The number of enemy troops is not known for the time being, but it can be seen that the enemy army is feint and contain the left and right flanks. β
Subjected to a sudden attack, even the non-commissioned officers were restrained by officers at all levels after a little confusion. As long as there is no confusion in the army, Sima Xin will not panic, "The troops will attack in echelons." He suddenly smiled, "We have just discussed luring the enemy army deeper, and the enemy army will launch a charge camp, which is really good news." β
"What does the Lord mean?" Li Heng, who came from behind, asked.
"Do you need to say it? No matter how many enemy troops came, he ordered the soldiers in front to resist and retreat, luring the enemy troops rushing into the camp to the third barrier. Sima Xin said that his eyes were looking for the herald, and after finding it, he asked people to bring the token before he instructed the herald: "You hold the token, tell the left and right wings to command respectively, and when you hear the horn of three long and one short in the camp, you will immediately wave your army to kill, which is not only to attack the enemy's equipment and troops, but also to cut off the rear road of the enemy army attacking the camp." β
The well-organized order made the generals who were originally a little worried feel a little more at ease, and they didn't seem to look at Sima Xin so disdainfully, after all, they could calmly issue orders as soon as possible in the face of a night attack, and it sounded like the arrangement was not bad.
Su Lie led his army to rush into the camp without encountering any resistance, and they only caught dozens of Qin soldiers who were placed in front of them during the period, and only encountered a few Qin army hundred-man troops when they attacked the second Qin camp barrier.
The 6,000 men encountered the 100-strong Qin army divided into several units, and according to the prior arrangement, they stopped part of the troops from fighting, and most of the soldiers still attacked forward.
I didn't know before I entered the Qin camp, but after I came in, I saw abandoned camp tents and broken wood, and there were more giant crossbows stuck in the ground in the camp, and some traces of cobblestone bullets could often be seen.
Sima Xin had already given up the first two camps, this prudent move really had an effect, the night attack led by Su Lie would not cause the chaos it should have caused because it was not the rest area of the Qin army's soldiers, and when they entered the second barrier, the Qin army that reacted began to block with a team of 1,000 people.
As a member of the night attack, Cao Shen had already killed two Qin soldiers, and he led his team of fifty people to the forefront of the whole army, and naturally he was one of the troops who felt the strength of the Qin army's resistance directly.
It is certain that the Qin army was caught off guard, but the reaction speed of the Qin army really showed the speed that a strong army should have, and they rushed to the second camp before they could meet the Qin army that had formed into an formation, and the speed of continuing the attack was contained.
A whistling sound sounded overhead, and Cao Shen couldn't see anything when he looked up, but he knew that it was his own bed crossbow troops that were approaching and firing crossbow arrows at the third camp of the Qin army.
The resistance of the troops led by Su Lie in the second camp was quite strong at first, and when they relied on the suddenness of the attack, the Qin army had four thousand-man teams on guard at night who quickly came to meet the enemy, and the two sides collided with each other and started a hand-to-hand fight for a while, and after a desolate horn sounded, the Qin army, which was originally desperately resisting, took the initiative to retreat.
Su Lie wiped a handful of blood from his face, which had been splashed after slashing the three of them with a giant sword. He was in the Qin army, and he heard that the sound of the horn was an order to retreat, but he didn't think much about why the Qin army took the initiative to retreat.
Before launching the night attack, the generals, including Su Lie and Mei Kai, knew in advance that the night attack was just an appetizer, and all they needed to do was to press it and be mentally prepared to be besieged and cut off on the left and right flanks and even the rear road.
After the night attack is launched, LΓΌ Zhe will gather follow-up troops to press, and if the Qin army wants to cut off the front and rear routes of the camp attack from the left and right flanks, then these Qin troops will have to face the attack of 100,000 LΓΌ Zhe's army.
The left and right wings of the Qin army will not exceed 50,000 people at most, this is the information that Li Liang and others were told by the rebellion against the Qin army, although there is a gap in the combat strength of the two sides, but with the advantage of mental arithmetic and long-range attack equipment, Lu Zhe is still confident that he can win the battle.
Su Lie, who was in command of the formation, saw at a glance that there was no Qin army in the second camp, and he immediately shouted: "All military marquis, according to the pre-arranged fire dragon line, and then use the shield and the wood in the camp to build a defense." β
The fire dragon line or something is actually to use some shallow trenches that have been dug in the camp, cut some firewood, and pull the camp tent abandoned by the Qin army over, and then pour the fire oil that it has brought up, and wait for the necessary moment to ignite, which is a separation line formed by the burning of the fire.
Sima Xin, who had been waiting for the enemy to kill the approaching army, and many Qin generals were disappointed, after the enemy attacked the camp, they actually stopped at the second camp and did not move into the third camp according to their expectations, so the plan to lure the enemy was a success or a failure?
"The main general......" Changshi Qin Jun didn't know what Sima Xin was hesitating, he only knew that although the enemy army stopped at the second camp, it was already deep, and reminded: "When it is broken, it is broken!" β
It's not constant, Sima Xin got a report that the main force of Lu Zhe's army showed signs of assembly, and the reason why he hesitated was thinking that he could set a trap and use a strategy to lure the enemy into depth, wouldn't Lu Zhe set up a strategy to lure the snake out of the hole? It is easy to besiege Lu Zhe's army, which has entered the second lane, but can he kill all those enemy troops when Lu Zhe leads the main force to kill them? If they can't kill them all, how long can the 40,000 soldiers on the left and right flanks to cut off the rear road withstand the main force of the enemy?
"Dispatching 40,000 soldiers for the sake of 6,000 enemy troops, if it really lures the snake out of the hole...... Sima Xin didn't know why he felt very weak-hearted, he called this war sense of the main general, and always felt that there must be something wrong with Lu Zhe's caution to launch such a night attack.
"When it is broken, it is broken!" This is not a long history, but seven or eight partial generals and captains, including Shao Ai and Li Heng, are exerting pressure.
Sima Xin was not displeased when he was forced by his subordinates, and he also knew that his strategy was really unpopular, but he didn't want to do it either.
As if taking a deep breath, Sima Xin said with some difficulty: "Gentlemen, I have said first, there must be a second hand for the enemy's night attack tonight, since you have decided to trap and kill the enemy army attacking the camp, then you must be prepared for a fierce battle." He looked at the generals with resolute faces, "Blow the horn of the left and right flanks to send troops!" (To be continued......)
