Two hours later, the long-lost night began to slowly envelop the battlefield.

Including the more than 6,000 cavalry soldiers including the scout army, everyone was red because they ate horse meat. Ride quietly on your warhorse and get ready to take on a new combat mission.

After glancing at the morale-high subordinates in front of him, Wei Zheng, who had a stern face, ordered directly.

"General Zhao, General Zhou... Tonight, the two of you have a common mission, that is, to attack the rebel camp in Baode County at night....At the very least, I will clean up the more than 10,000 traitors stationed outside the city during this night's night raid..."

After listening to this order, Zhao Yun's face was still full of heat just now, and he was immediately covered with doubts.

Asked Wei Zheng puzzled: "Night attack on the rebel camp... Didn't you tell us last night, Marshal, that the musketeers and artillerymen must not attack the traitors with cavalry until they have arrived on the battlefield. Otherwise, it's going to die....what? ”

Zhou Chenguang followed up and chimed in: "Marshal, launch an attack on the rebel camp with cavalry, although there is a cover of night. However, the total strength of the traitors stationed outside the city was more than 10,000 after all. More importantly, the night was not good for the traitors, but it was also very bad for us, and the last general feared that even if the soldiers attacked the rebel barracks, they would fall into a scuffle..."

"When the time comes, in the face of traitors who are several times our own size, almost frenzied, plus we have lost the speed advantage of the cavalry....thousands of cavalry soldiers are likely to fall into the rebel barracks and cannot be withdrawn."

Wei Zheng shook his head and replied: "Who told you that this commander plans to storm the traitor camp under the cover of night." ”

Under the gaze of two pairs of increasingly puzzled eyes. A smile full of weirdness. It quickly appeared on Wei Zheng's face.

Then. bluntly opened his mouth and analyzed: "Have you two forgotten that when the commander issued today's general order, he repeatedly emphasized to you that none of the five thousand traitor cavalry can be spared... You don't want to know the specific reason why Ben Shuai issued this kind of general order......"

Zhou Chenguang replied thoughtfully: "Dashuai, hundreds of people and innocent residents in Baode County have all died at the hands of these beasts. The reason why the marshal issued the order to annihilate these beasts. It is to avenge the people and the people who died in battle. ”

Wei Zheng nodded first, then shook his head again. Finally, with a hint of mystery, he said: "Revenge is only one aspect. In addition, Ben Shuai also has a purpose, not to let the traitors in Baode County know the news of our arrival. At the same time, we didn't let them know that the 5,000 cavalry in their hands had been eaten by us cleanly. ”

At this time, a sudden expression of realization suddenly flashed on Zhou Chenguang's face.

With a tentative expression, he asked Wei Zheng, "Dashuai." The last general seems to understand a little..."

"You are planning to use the identity of the traitor's five thousand cavalry, under the cover of night. Infiltrate the rebel barracks..."

However, before Zhou Chenguang's words were finished, a trace of worry appeared on his suddenly realized face.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze with a smile on his face, he changed his words and continued to remind: "But, the big handsome....even if we rush into the traitor camp without spending a single soldier. Under the cover of night, and besieged by traitors several times our size, we are still likely to be caught in a melee. ”

"In this way, more than 6,000 cavalry soldiers, no matter how elite they are, will suffer heavy losses."

"This so-called not afraid of 10,000 is afraid of what happens, for the comfort of these cavalry soldiers, the last general implores the commander to consider carefully."

After seeing Zhou Chenguang's heartfelt worry in his eyes, the smile on Wei Zheng's face became even stronger.

However, he didn't immediately give Zhou Chenguang his own answer, but unexpectedly asked: "General Zhou, you are the commander of the scout army, I don't know if you still remember the results of your investigation of the traitor..."

"Of course the last general remembers..."Zhou Chenguang replied loudly.

Then, at Wei Zheng's signal, he introduced as simply as possible: "There are a total of 35,000 traitors who have invaded Baode County, and 5,000 of them have been eaten by us. ”

"As for the remaining 30,000 people, 10,000 musketeers, 1,000 artillerymen, 4,000 pikemen, and a total of 15,000 of the most elite troops, all of them are concentrated in Baode County, ready to use the county city wall to kill and wound our attacking troops in large numbers."

"As for the remaining fifteen thousand traitors, they are already unevenly equipped and personnel, and they are all stationed outside Baode County to protect the safety of Baode County..."

Wei Zheng nodded, and continued to ask with a smile on his face: "That is to say: the more than 10,000 traitors stationed outside Baode County, not to mention the long-range strike weapons such as muskets and longbows, can't even distinguish one person with a big knife or a spear." ”

"Yes, handsome," Zhou Chenguang affirmed loudly.

Then, he pointed to the battlefield not far away that was still filled with the smell of death and blood, and said: "Otherwise, with the position of cavalry among traitors, it is impossible for one person to have a standard saber. ”

"As for bows and arrows, with the large number of firearms equipped with troops, it is rare to see them among the officers and soldiers, let alone these traitors who rely on capture to survive. Besides, a qualified archer needs at least more than a year to train. How can a group of traitors who do not even have logistics to invest a lot of money and food to train archers who do not want to get up and down with muskets. ”

At this time, Wei Zheng finally said what he thought in his heart: "The fifteen thousand traitors stationed outside Baode County have no long-range attack weapons, but the more than six thousand iron horsemen under our command have..."

"As long as we can rush into the camp of the traitors and strangle with them, the traitors in the city will not be able to shoot and fire at us. Then we can use our unique muskets and grenades to slaughter all sides in the traitor camp, eliminate the traitors who want to get close to us, and defeat these fifteen thousand traitors in one fell swoop..."

"You all think about it, as long as the six thousand iron horsemen under our command and the grenades are brought with them, is it possible to defeat the fifteen thousand traitors outside Baode County. Then, the remaining 15,000 elites of the traitors were all surrounded in the county seat. When the musketeers and artillerymen arrive, they will be eliminated in one fell swoop..."

Just when Zhao Yun was still pondering, Zhou Chenguang's eyes had already quickly shot out two fine rays of light.

Under Wei Zheng's gaze, he shouted with a look of surprise: "The marshal is wise....muskets with grenades, coupled with the unique throwing guns of our cavalry, in the absence of the threat of long-range weapons, even in the face of traitors who are several times our own, we can also defeat them lightly," (to be continued......)
