Chapter 255: Midnight Marching (1)
Xiong Heng, the prince of Chu, casually took the letter from the samurai, and through a few short lines of text on the letter, he quickly sketched the situation of the Lantian camp at the moment in his mind. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chu Prince Xiong looked sideways, pondered for a moment, and in his mind, the picture before the previous Qin army went out appeared, none of which was similar to this time, and this time in front of him was too strange, and he naturally felt that things were not as simple as he imagined, and this situation was too different from the Qin army he had seen.
"Those who are unreasonable in everything must be deceitful!" Prince Xiong Heng of Chu muttered to himself. At the same time, Duanmu Ruthless had already changed his clothes and walked quickly to the Huxin Pavilion.
"See the Prince!" Duanmu ruthlessly stepped forward and knelt down to say goodbye.
"It's so fast! Duanmu: What do you think about this? Chu Prince Xiong Heng asked, saying that he threw the letter to Duanmu Ruthless, Duanmu ruthlessly took the letter, and there was no need to read it again if he had already read it, and after recognizing it at a glance, he did not look at it carefully.
"The last general thinks that this matter is not as simple as it seems!" Duanmu's ruthless answer was based on the valuable experience he had accumulated in his many years of association with the Qin State and in the midst of blood and fire.
Seeing that Duanmu's ruthlessness coincided with his own thoughts, the Prince of Chu Xiong Heng deepened his judgment, and then ordered:
"Hmmm! Quickly ordered the 'Meteor' and 'Guangyao' to go to investigate in two ways, one to follow the Ganmao army, and the other to go deep into Bashu, first to see what is happening in this Bashu! As soon as there is a situation, report it in time, remember that you must not reveal your identity as a last resort! ”。
Duanmu was also surprised to be ruthless, when he heard that Xiong Heng, the prince of Chu, actually activated the 'Meteor' and 'Glory', which showed the importance of this matter, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, said goodbye, and hurried down to prepare.
At the same time, the big fish has already emitted an attractive aroma under the charcoal fire. However, this unlucky big fish did not die just now, and was still flashing his eyelids, as if he was lamenting the sorrow of his life experience.
Chu Prince Xiong Heng didn't care about these at all, swallowed his saliva greedily, and then filled a bottle of wine, looking forward to the upcoming feast.
The sun in the west, as if it was being pulled by something, crumbled in the west, without the slightest thought of continuing to hang in the sky, perhaps because the cold of this winter day was too much to handle, and even the sun was looking forward to returning home as soon as possible to take refuge.
At the same time, Qin's western expeditionary army was still busy, and the mountains were shouting. Desperately dragging the heavy siege equipment.
The snowfall a few days ago was also a great help to Bashu at this moment, making the road extremely slippery, and all the samurai had to drag it with all their might. Even so, there are still quite a few large wheels that are mired in the mud.
By the time of the cold winter wax moon, most of them had already gone into battle shirtless, and although there was no war, everyone was wrapped in unbearable exhaustion.
It has been about a day since I received the news of the army's departure, but what is extremely annoying is that some of the equipment has not left half a step at all, and is still lying quietly in the warehouse of the camp.
It's not that these samurai don't work hard, it's because the road in front of them is too muddy, and the equipment is so cumbersome that the wheels will get stuck in the mud if you are not careful, and it will be difficult to improve without spending hours trying to get it out.
As a result, the entire army was dragged by these bulky equipment, and even General Meng Shuo's vanguard troops were strongly asked to carry 36 Wuchong Fuxu, 72 Wuyi Dalu Ge Halberd Fuxu, 140 Tiyi Small Lut Fuxu, and 36 Rhubarb Shen Lian Crossbow Fuxu...
I don't know what the reason is, Meng Shuo didn't refute it in the slightest, and completely brought all the siege equipment with him in accordance with Gan Mao's request.
Even if the vanguard of the whole army came out of the camp at this moment, it was only a few miles away, and when the soldiers looked back, they could still see the flags fluttering in the camp.
In fact, even if you don't look back, you can still hear the non-stop trumpet along the way. Seeing that it was getting late, the adjutant general who accompanied him came to ask the pioneer general Meng how to set up camp.
"See the general!" The lieutenant stepped forward and fell to his knees.
"What advice does the general have?" Meng Shuo asked calmly.
"The last general is here to ask, about camping tonight?" The adjutant replied.
Meng Shuo looked back and thought, 'What kind of camp!' I ran back with a stick of incense! ’
"Order the whole army, leave some of the soldiers to take care of the siege equipment, and the others, etc., go back to the camp with Ben to rest! It's freezing outside, how can you fall asleep! Meng's order made all the soldiers extremely shocked.
Since the founding of the Great Qin, there has never been such a practice, the army is pulled, not a single arrow is fired, no one is cut, but to return to the camp to rest, everyone is stunned.
If it weren't for the story of Meng Shuo's horns that day, which spread all over the Qin State, and the whole army admired his bravery and courage, if others had such remarks, I am afraid that these soldiers would have stepped forward to tear it to pieces.
The generals looked at each other and didn't know what to do, thinking that there was a problem with their ears, and the adjutant general asked again for the sake of insurance.
"Will the general camp on the spot tonight or after a few miles?" The lieutenant was afraid that he would hear it wrong, so he gave a two-choice plan, and casually pricked up his ears.
Meng said that when he heard this, he scolded;
"Lao Tzu asked you to go back and rest, you and the children don't know what to do one by one! Do you want to say it again? ”
The adjutant general was sure that there was no problem with his ears and that the news he heard was accurate, but he still looked back at the expressions of his colleagues, and they were all very surprised.
I kept muttering in my heart, 'What's going on today?' Even if the main general is blindly commanding, this vanguard general actually wants to let the army that has been drawn return to camp in the camp! Such bizarre theories are really unheard of and unseen! ’
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and do it! Meng said roaring.
"No!" The generals did not dare to delay any longer, so they sent orders separately, leaving some of the soldiers guarding the weapons, and all the other large troops drove back to the camp.
Along the way, it was also very lively, a little more lively than catching up with the big market, of course, in the mouths of the samurai, naturally there would be no greetings from small merchants and vendors, and most of them were still some curses and dissatisfaction.
Foul language, unbearable, in order to vent the dissatisfaction and resentment in his heart, Meng said riding on Ah Jiu's back, leisurely, not at all like a general leading troops to fight, but like a teacher who led a group of students out to play.
Except for telling everyone to be careful not to break their equipment, there were no surprising words.
The height is already superior, and it is on horseback, so naturally this perspective is far beyond that of other entourage.
As far as the eye can see, some of this Wuchong Dafuxu is still at the gate of the camp, and the warriors at the gate of the camp have begun to be busy lighting torches.
"It's getting dark so fast!" It seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed that he was talking to someone, although the soldiers felt annoyed, but this Ah Jiu did not have the slightest sense of this, and was still strolling leisurely.
From time to time, they also roared happily, and at this time, the samurai all looked sideways, and of course they complained in their hearts.
'Why did the vanguard general choose such an inferior horse, not to mention the pot-bellied, the four hooves are so slender, where can he fight! ’
"Stop! What's going on? "The samurai standing guard at the gate saw a large group of soldiers, which was inconsistent with the direction of the movement of the large army, and everyone was heading to the west, and this guy actually came from the west! .
Huhula, there is no military discipline, just like rushing to the market, the samurai guarding the door naturally pointed the spear in his hand at these people. (To be continued.) )
