Chapter 545: Step by Step Crisis (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Under the city of Linhe, Zhuge Ke stood on the city wall in full armor, looking at the quiet military camp outside the city. He will begin harassing Wei Ba in response to Dai Liang's arrival. He wanted to make Wei Ba exhausted before Dai Liang arrived, and he couldn't figure out the truth and fiction.
The city gate rumbled open, and two hundred death squads rushed out of the city gate, holding shields and brandishing war knives to rush to the large camp in the distance. Zhuge Ke was very nervous. He didn't know what would happen to the two hundred people who rushed out, and he didn't even know how many of the two hundred people would come back. However, he believed that as long as the tactical objectives could be achieved, the sacrifices of these men would be worth it. In order to buy Dai Liang a little time, defend Linhe, and defeat Wei Ba, it doesn't matter how many people die.
Sun Quan said at the time that the purpose of sending him to the front line was to let him fight Wei Ba, increase his knowledge, use Wei Ba as a whetstone, and polish him into a sharp war knife. If you want to become a generation of famous generals, you must first have a ruthless heart.
Tzu is not in charge of the army.
Therefore, what he was worried about was not the life and death of the death squad, what he was worried about was whether Wei Ba would take advantage of the situation to attack the city.
The death squads stormed the camp, but did not meet the expected resistance. There was silence and silence in the camp. Zhuge Ke became more and more nervous, his palms were full of cold sweat, and he couldn't help but hold his breath. He always felt that the next thing was a thunderous counterattack, and these two hundred people would die without a place to bury.
Just when Zhuge Ke was hesitating whether to order the city gate to be closed, the death squad rushed into the camp. There was still silence in the camp. There was no counterattack at all, these people were like stones sinking into the sea, not provoking a reaction at all. Zhuge Ke became more and more nervous. Sweat broke out on his forehead. At that moment, a soldier rushed out of the camp. Zhuge Ke mentioned it violently, and involuntarily leaned forward, as if he could know the news earlier.
"My lord, the camp is empty, and there is no one."
"What?" Zhuge Ke was taken aback. How could there be no one in the camp? After a long period of tension suddenly fell short, Zhuge Ke felt an indescribable emptiness, and then felt extremely angry. He was humiliated by Wei Ba, who frightened him with an empty camp and made him afraid to leave the city. He didn't even know when Wei Ba left. And where did it go?
Zhuge Ke was annoyed and ashamed, and his face was hot, as if he had received a big slap.
The death squads that stormed the camp retreated, confirming the soldier's account. The big camp is an empty camp. There was no one in there at all. Judging by all indications. Should have left a day ago.
Zhuge Ke pondered for a long time. A terrible possibility suddenly came to mind. He jerked around and looked south: that was the direction in which reinforcements had arrived.
Did Wei Ba go to ambush reinforcements? Dai Liang came from afar, and he was already a tired army. In the event of an ambush, the losses are bound to be heavy. But he had 10,000 men, and even if he was ambushed, he could hold out for a moment. Wei Ba only had a total of 6,000 people, and it was not easy to ambush 10,000 people, and the battle situation was very easy to enter a stalemate, and it was even possible to reverse.
Zhuge Ke immediately gave the order and set off immediately to receive reinforcements.
Zhuge Ke left 1,000 people to defend the city, and he took 2,000 people out of the city. He walked very carefully and let the scouts fifty miles away, for fear of being ambushed by Wei Ba. He was like a frightened rabbit, looking back at every step.
The scouts soon spotted Wei Ba's tracks. Wei Ba walked in a hurry, and did not have much time to hide his traces. Confirming that Wei Ba was going to ambush reinforcements, Zhuge Ke was both excited and nervous. If Wei Ba and Dai Liang are entangled, his appearance will change the tide of the battle. But the danger is also very great, if Wei Ba does not ambush the reinforcements, but lures him out of the city, he will have no chance of winning, he can only flee in embarrassment, and may even die because of it.
Between gains and losses, Zhuge Ke weighed again and again, and the desire to make contributions still overwhelmed fear. He decided to catch up.
……
Dai Liang slowly wiped his sword, again and again. He rubbed it very carefully and very carefully, as if he was caressing his lover's skin. His eyes were cold, without a hint of emotion. As soon as he thought that he would have to confront Wei Ba head-to-head tomorrow, he had a trace of excitement, and his cold eyes showed a crazy light from time to time.
Wei Ba is his enemy, an enemy who does not share the sky. Wei Ba not only killed Lu Dai's father and son, but also his own brother Dai Wei. When he got the news of Dai Wei's death. He vowed to kill Wei Ba and avenge his brother. He had been waiting for Wei Ba to enter Jiaozhou so that he could have a chance to kill Wei Ba. Now the opportunity has finally come, Wei Ba has entered Yulin without knowing whether he is alive or dead, and now he has also entered Linhe, trying to occupy the entire Jiaozhou. This is not only an attack on Wu Guo, but also a disregard for him Dai Liang.
Wei Ba will definitely pay for this, Dai Liang swears.
The lights are swaying, and the swords are bright. Dai Liang scrutinized his sword at the light. I will use it to cut off Wei Bao's head tomorrow, how can I be careless.
The general of the scout battalion suddenly rushed in, his face nervous.
"What's the matter?" Dai Liang asked unhappily.
"My lord, the scouts we sent to the front have not returned, and there seems to be something unusual in front of us."
Dai Liang frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He also felt something strange, Zhuge Ke hadn't sent him any news so far. According to the habit of the previous few days, every night he would receive a message from Zhuge Ke to inform him of the situation outside Linhe City, although there was a time difference of about two days, but it allowed him to know some information in advance, so that he could make a corresponding analysis, so that he would not be ignorant of Wei Ba's situation. It stands to reason that he should have received the latest information by now, but the expected information did not come.
Could it be that something happened? Was Zhuge Ke defeated, or did Wei Ba leave, or did he come to face him? In an instant, several possibilities surged into Dai Liang's heart, and he hesitated. After careful analysis, he felt that Zuihou was a very small possibility, but it could not be ignored. The disappearance of the scout is often a sign of aberration, and he cannot take it lightly.
"Let's get ready, get a good rest, we may have to fight tomorrow."
"Whoa." The general replied loudly, but did not walk away, he looked at Dai Liang carefully: "My lord, may we be attacked?" ”
Dai Liang shook his head: "It's too far from Linhe, I don't think Wei Ba will walk such a long mountain road to meet me." Even if he knew he was damned, he wouldn't be so proactive. He sneered: "If he dares to come, it will be even better." ”
The general breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out. Dai Liang's brow furrowed even tighter. He just said that he was just comforting his subordinates, so as not to cause disturbance in the hearts of the army, not that he thought there was no danger. The army came all the way from Panyu, and the soldiers were very tired, and they needed to rest well before they could go to the battlefield energetically. If you are too nervous to relax yourself, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of rest.
Dai Liang was also forced to do this out of desperation. During this period of time, the prestige of the god general has spread throughout Jiaozhou, and Lu Dai's father and son have died in battle, and Yan Guan has missed, all of which are unbelievable results. This gives the impression that this god will be omnipotent and invincible. Everyone will have a fear of mysteries, especially ordinary soldiers who have not read a book, and they will be even more afraid of God. Nervousness had spread among the army when they learned that they were going to fight Wei Ba, and coupled with the fatigue of the rapid march, they might not be able to sleep if they knew that there was a possibility of an enemy attack.
The lesser of two evils. Dai Liang would rather trust his instincts and take a little risk, but also let the soldiers have a good rest.
The order has been given, but Dai Liang's heart cannot be calm. Zhuge Ke's information did not come, and the scouts did not come back in time, which indicated that there was a possibility of being attacked, and he could not take it lightly. However, from all aspects, he felt that this possibility was very small. This place is more than a hundred miles away from Linhe, according to the information sent by Zhuge Ke before, Wei Ba was still under Linhe City two days ago, if he wants to rush here, he needs to walk more than a hundred miles of mountain roads in two days. Although his subordinates were all barbarians who were good at walking mountain roads, it was very difficult for even barbarians to complete such a rapid marching task. When they arrived here, they must have been too exhausted to attack, so what's the point? There is a cloud in the art of war: if you want to make a profit for a hundred miles, you must step on the general, and the difficulty of marching a hundred miles in the mountains is far greater than that of flat land. It is impossible for Wei Ba not to understand these common senses. As an invincible god general, it is impossible for him to make such a stupid decision.
Although Dai Liang hated Wei Ba, he never looked down on Wei Ba. Underestimating the enemy is an unforgivable mistake. He believed that Wei Ba would not do this. Despite this, Dai Liang ordered to be on guard so as not to be attacked by the enemy. Compared with the night attack, Dai Liang was more worried about tomorrow's march. Tomorrow he will pass through Guiling, which is a mountain road that is very suitable for ambushes, and if Wei Ba is going to attack him, he should be here.
Dai Liang thought about it. Another group of scouts was sent to make sure that the vicinity of Guiling was safe. After making all the arrangements, Dai Liang drank a little wine and fell into a deep sleep. Ever since he learned that his younger brother had died in the camp of Xuefeng Mountain, he suffered from insomnia. Without drinking a little wine every day, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning until dawn. Tomorrow is a big battle, and he needs to get a good night's sleep and recuperate. After killing Wei Ba and avenging his brother, he will be able to sleep peacefully.
……
Wei Ba looked at the corpses of several Wu Jun scouts on the ground, and was very unhappy. He had ordered the barbarian scouts to avoid the Wu army's scouts as much as possible, so as not to arouse the enemy's alarm. However, as soon as these barbarians saw Wu Jun, they were red-eyed, not only did they not avoid it, but rushed forward and killed all of Wu Jun's scouts.
Wei Ba raised his head, glared angrily at the few barbarians who thought they had made great achievements, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who do you think Dai Liang is? He is a fierce general who has followed Lu Dai for many years. The scout was missing, and he wasn't even alert. Guiling is a dangerous place, he will not be prepared at all? If he is prepared and sends scouts, will you be able to kill them all? The more scouts die, the more dangerous the situation is. If he doesn't show his flaws, how can we attack 10,000 of them with 5,000 people? ”
The barbarians lowered their heads, looked at their toes, and said nothing. (To be continued......)
