"Big Boss, are we really going to leave camp now?"

Under the cover of night, in the camp of the righteous army in the southwest of Anding County, the black shadow was stirring, and the neighing of war horses came from time to time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmph, these people, each of them only thinks about their own families, relying on the strength of the crowd, they don't take you and my brother in their eyes at all, why are they still here at this moment?!" Hao Lin'an snorted, he had already sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Daojiang, who was also the leader of the Qingyang Righteous Army, and wanted to invite him to go with him, but unfortunately Liu Daojiang recognized the so-called righteous Bo Yuntian Shenyikui.

He refused to go, and he couldn't, so he could only pull out the camp alone, ready to use the cover of night to escape by wiping the gap between the camp tents of the official army and the righteous army.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, the leader could only say worriedly, "It's just that the big war is about to start, let's say goodbye without saying goodbye to the battle, and spread it out, it's not beautiful after all." ”

"It's not a beautiful fart, Hugh has to talk a lot, hurry up and take your men and horses to open the way in front, let's go immediately, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Hao Lin'an also knew that his subordinates, that is, a group of peasants who had temporarily assembled, were not even a rabble, and when they marched at night, it was inevitable that there would be a difference, but there were officers and troops on the opposite side, and there were rebels behind them.

If he hadn't marched at night, I'm afraid that both sides would have to fight him, and now he could only ask for cover from the night and quietly withdraw, even if the righteous army and the official army found him, they couldn't go out to chase him in the middle of the night, and when it came to daytime, he would have walked at least more than ten miles, and even if he chased again, he couldn't catch up.

So, under his strict order, this rebel army of about 5,000 people, messily packed up the camp tent, loaded everything that could be taken away into the car, and then left the camp one after another, and the neighboring rebel army heard the movement, but the weather in November had gradually entered winter, and the night was very fast, and the dark and misty area was not very clear, and it was easy not to go out of the camp to investigate.

However, the officers and soldiers were different, they were properly dispatched, and they were only waiting for the decisive battle in the coming day, when they suddenly saw a group of righteous soldiers marching south, they were immediately confused, and they could only gather in this direction to closely monitor the movements of Hao Lin'an's troops.

I followed it for half the night, and it was not until dawn that I realized that although there were many soldiers and horses in this rebellion, they were marching in a mess, and there was no fixed number, and they seemed to be bent on leaving the battlefield, and when they saw that there was no threat, these officers and soldiers did not accept the night before they turned back to their respective camps to report.

What Hao Lin'an didn't know was that it was precisely because of his sudden withdrawal that the main battle between the official army and the righteous army was completely advanced, and it was also due to his starry night action that caused the asymmetry of information between the official army, which could only collect a large number of night non-collections on him, thereby weakening the number of night non-harvesting in other directions, especially in the northeast direction.

The series of changes caused by this may not have been imagined by him.

As soon as he walked on his front legs, there was an officer and army on duty on his back foot to report to the governor of Shaanxi to practice state affairs, and when he talked about it, he almost couldn't believe that the war was about to start, and was this a split within the rebel army? He is not a pure literati, and he asked himself how good he was to lead the troops to fight, and he immediately keenly noticed the fighters in it.

That is, taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the internal turmoil of the righteous army, he immediately launched a general attack, and before he could give the order, three messengers of the general army arrived one after another, all saying that the time for a decisive battle had come, and they could give it a go.

Lian Guoshi was overjoyed when he heard this, and personally raised the flag in the big tent of the Chinese army, and ordered the Chinese army to stay behind in each army to make food for the third watch, and attack on the fifth watch, until it reached the camp of the righteous army, and at the same time sent an order to notify all the soldiers and horses on it, and prepare to attack together......

Chen Da looked at the weak soldiers behind him, and couldn't help but say to Li Mao, "Dashuai, the brothers have been running all night, and it is time to rest and rest, otherwise they will crash into the arms of the officers and soldiers, and they will not even have the strength to fight back!" ”

"How far is this place from Anding County?!" Li Mao took advantage of the torches lit by the guards around him, and watched the continuous army rushing south, so he stopped and asked.

"Walk more than 20 miles northwest to the county seat," Chen Da estimated on the map for a while before looking up.

Li Mao summed it up in his heart, "According to the report of the spies, the righteous army and the official army are more than ten miles south of the county, and our current position is at most less than twenty miles away from the official army. ”

"Whoa." A general behind him was in charge of the logistics of the Fourth Brigade, and when he heard this, he immediately went down to give the order, and the auxiliary soldiers of the capital immediately took down all the cloth heads of the camp tents, and some soldiers who entered the forest with firewood knives struggled to cut down the trees.

"Summoning the whole army camp to come to my camp to discuss matters, and ask the cavalry generals who are attached to them to come together." Li Mao was also tired, but there was no trivial matter in the army, and he could only hold on to his spiritual orders.

"Whoa."

When they finally entered the tent and blocked the cold wind of winter, several generals gathered together to discuss.

"The actions of the army have not yet been exposed, my cavalry has been dispersed, and a solid defensive line has been established in the east and north, and the officers and soldiers who have been called over to Suide are not collected at night, and not a single one of them wants to enter the territory of Anding." Liang Sijiu stayed in the rear for training this time, and the leader of the troops was Zhou Shengzhi, the battalion of the first battalion of the cavalry, who commanded 1,200 cavalry.

Li Mao nodded, "But now the west should also start to clear the night of the official army, otherwise when the official army finds out that there is another strong army behind them, they will have to leave the righteous army in front of them and escape." ”

Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly reported, "General Li just rest assured, we are dressed up in ordinary civilian clothes, even if the officers and soldiers see it, they will only be the righteous army who come to help, and the main force of the follow-up brigade is strictly hidden, it is impossible to expose it to the officers and soldiers, and God help me, somehow, since the officers and soldiers entered the night, the night in the east and north suddenly became scarce!" ”

"Good!" Chen Da couldn't help but speak, in this way, even if the task issued by the lord is half completed, at least the maneuver is hidden behind the side of the official army, and he can stand by and move.

Li Mao was also pleased, but said cautiously, "When the day dawns, the night of the officers and soldiers will inevitably find us, Zhou Yingzheng, your cavalry team, try to intercept and kill the officers and soldiers, and try to cover up the actions of the army, I expect that at this time, the officers and soldiers will have no time to look east, wait for half a day, let's have lunch at noon, and set out in the afternoon, and go straight to the main position of the officers and soldiers, no matter what, this battle will definitely be won!" ”

"Whoa!" Zhou Shengzhi hurriedly agreed.

"Report~" Li Mao was beginning to discuss the location of each battalion in order to deal with the big battle that might come at any time, when suddenly there was a report outside the tent, and he hurriedly beckoned in, "Speak." ”

A scout dressed soldier came in to salute first, and then hurriedly said, "Dashuai, I waited for my life to approach the official army tent, and found that there were traces of the army moving south in the west, but the night of the official army did not collect too much, we didn't dare to startle the snake, so we could only follow for a while and return, but I vaguely saw that there was a change in the official army camp, and it seemed that there was a pot buried in the middle of the night, ready to cook." ”

"What?" Li Mao slammed the table once, "Cooking late at night? There must be abnormalities, and the officers and soldiers are ready to do it in advance. ”

"Marshal, let's go west immediately and stab the back of the officers and soldiers." Chen Da clenched his fists and waved them vigorously, and the whole person became excited.

"Wait!" The more Li Mao arrived at this moment, the more calm he became, and hurriedly scolded, "Let's run all the way here, it's already a man on his back, at this moment, there are still four or five hours before dawn, the order goes down, and the armies seize the time to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle!" ”

Chong Zhou Shengzhi said, "The brothers of the cavalry must stand up, work harder tonight, walk five miles to the west, I will send my personal guards to protect the left and right, just wait for tomorrow morning, and quickly advance to the battlefield to the west." ”

Zhou Shengzhi knew that the matter was urgent, and without the slightest refutation, he immediately said, "Dashuai, just rest assured, our brothers are preparing day and night, just waiting for today!" ”

After speaking, he turned back and went directly to his own station by the light, although it was difficult to march after nightfall, but the begging army had its own means, and good military discipline was the guarantee to overcome all hardships and dangers, not to mention the five-mile night road, even if they walked all night, they could only carry out under the forced order.

Seeing him retreat, Li Mao rushed to the left and said, "Chen Da! You go down and pack up immediately, and tell the soldiers to rest immediately, but you are not allowed to take up armor and equipment! ”

The tense atmosphere of the coming war has risen in the hearts of all generals, and Chen Da is no exception, he is especially excited, Li Mao has to give him some tasks, so as not to have an accident, "Oh! ”

The murderous words suddenly came out, "Tell me to go down, the fourth watch of the house will rise, and the whole army must be called to get up on the fifth watch, and after dawn, the army will immediately march westward, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!" ”

The remaining battalions were hurrying up and preparing to go.

"Lord, the battle that will decide the outcome is coming," Li Mao said in a low voice as he looked at the east where he couldn't see the slightest line of sight, the heavy task pressing on him at the moment was almost unbearable, but when he came here, there was no way back, even if he gritted his teeth, he had to continue walking.

Everything is just waiting for tomorrow morning, when the army enters the front of the official army, whether it is victory or defeat, he will fight to the death......

The sun rises in the east, the unique cold of early winter has approached the land of Shanxi, outside Anding County, in the garrison of the Ming Dynasty official army, the neighing of war horses, the roar of the general's small flag is endless, a team of soldiers is lined up into a phalanx, and begins to go out of the camp one after another, a door tiger squatting cannon is placed into the column, and the cavalry running back and forth is even more majestic, before the military formation, galloping back and forth.

On the other hand, the camp of the righteous army is dead silent at the moment, because in the originally planned defense area, there is a big hole, and more than 5,000 people from Hao Lin'an's department, who should have been facing the official army, actually pulled out the camp last night......
