Chapter 648, Encirclement
Before sending troops, Bai Jian first sent a large number of people from Jiang and ASEAN to deal with the enemy's aliens. Later, scouts were sent to clean up Huang Zu's spies.
Bai Jian and Zhou Yu's choice is the same, that is, to make Huang Zu deaf and blind before they act. And once you're ready to attack, it's a thunder attack.
The naval army camp in Exian County has no sleep tonight.
Everyone knew that Lord Taishou had given the order and was busy packing up. Although the news of the siege of Exian County did not spread, the generals knew the truth, which inevitably affected the soldiers.
Originally, he came to the scenery to kill the Jiangdong thieves, defend his hometown, and make immortal achievements, but he didn't expect to evacuate before he achieved his goal, and any soldier who regarded Jiangdong as an enemy would not be happy.
But the generals are different, although some people shout fiercely, but it is just to show themselves, so that Taishou is more impressed by himself, and he also understands in his heart that he is already at a disadvantage, and he is willing to evacuate. Moreover, there are a large number of supplies in the naval camp, and it is naturally difficult to count them in a hurry, which also gives them the opportunity to get their hands on it.
"Anyway, what you can't take away will be burned, and it doesn't matter if you have more." This is the thought of many generals.
……
At midnight, all the generals had been prepared, and the remaining supplies that could not be taken away were also gathered, and the fire oil was covered all around. When they are gone, a fire will be lit and the supplies left behind will be burned. And the ships that were ready to scuttle and block the port were also ready, just waiting for Huang Zu to order the evacuation.
"Taishou-sama, everything is ready, can you start burning now? After all, there are a lot of materials that cannot be taken away, and it will take time to burn them. In the middle of the night, Huang Zu didn't sleep, still waiting for the generals under his command to report on the preparations until everyone arrived.
"Not for the time being, otherwise the fire will soar into the sky, which will definitely attract the Jiangdong Army to peep, which is not conducive to our evacuation." Huang Zu said, "When you go back for the time being, you can rest for an hour, and when it is dawn, you will evacuate immediately." In addition, vigilance must be done well. ”
"Subordinates obey." The generals were ordered to go.
Huang Zu didn't rest, so he sat in the conference hall, and it seemed that he was going to sit for a night. For a Rank 7 general, staying up all night is nothing at all.
The night was getting quieter, and there was hardly any movement except for the sound of torches burning.
However, Huang Zu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, felt more and more bored, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"What the hell is going on, am I overlooking something?" Huang Zu didn't get up and walk around, so as not to show the uneasiness and pressure to the guards on the side, but continued to sit with his eyes closed, but the twitching of the corners of his eyes from time to time reflected his state of mind.
But thankfully, no one saw it.
"No, what's wrong?" Huang Zu's mind spun quickly, and he thought quickly, "There are a large number of scouts on the side of the navy, although there is news that the Jiangdong army has once again expanded the scope of inspection, but there should not be anything abnormal, otherwise there would have been scouts to report it a long time ago." On the side of Exian, the Jiangdong Army marched rapidly all the way, and only arrived at the siege in the evening, and it would not come so soon, otherwise it would be a tired division, what else would it take to attack the city? There are no enemies anywhere else. ”
I couldn't figure it out, Huang Zu sighed in his heart, opened his eyes, and called the guards in charge of intelligence, "Is there any news from the Jiangdong Army?" ”
"There is no latest news, or someone came in the first half of the night to say that the patrol scope of the Jiangdong Navy has expanded again, and they cannot know the movements of the Jiangdong Army." The guard replied.
"Is there any news from Exian?" Huang Zu picked up the tea bowl and wanted to drink water.
"No, the last time I reported it, it was said that the Jiangdong Army used a large number of Inhumans to encircle and suppress our Inhumans." The guard replied.
"When?"
"It's the first half of the night."
"What was the officer's order?" Huang Zu stopped what he was doing.
"Nighttime information, once every hour." The guard said with some trembling.
"Tell me, what time is it? How long has it been since the last intelligence. Huang Zu's voice was a little cold.
"There is still about half an hour, and the sky is about to dawn, and it is two ...... before the last information It's been three hours. The guards were in a cold sweat, "I'm going to evacuate tomorrow, and my subordinates think it's ......"
"Think, what do you think, who do you think you are?" Huang Zu threw the tea bowl angrily and shouted, "There has been no news about the place for more than three hours, what does it portend on the battlefield, you don't know?" Maybe the enemy has already touched your eyes, and you still want to retreat? Get out of here, check now, where are those scouts and what are they doing? ”
The guards left in a panic, but Huang Zu's anger did not disappear, and the uneasiness in his heart was even heavier.
"Come, send an order to the generals, get up and put the fleet in order, and then withdraw from the port immediately." Huang Zu called the guards again, "Also, after the fleet leaves the port, burn the supplies immediately." ”
Minor riots broke out in the large camp, and both the soldiers who rested in the camp and the soldiers rested in the warships were somewhat dissatisfied. It was already busy until midnight, and I got up at dawn, which was suddenly half an hour early, and of course I was a little angry. Especially those pampered generals are even more dissatisfied.
It's just that these people are soldiers after all, and their obedience is still relatively good, although they are a little dissatisfied, but they still act immediately after receiving the order.
However, Huang Zu was very dissatisfied with the speed at which these people gathered, and urged him to speed up again and again. Because with each breath, the uneasiness in his heart increased.
Huang Zu's reaction was too late after all, and just as Huang Zu was urging his generals to speed up his speed over and over again, the guards who had been sent to investigate the situation came back.
"Lord Taishou, just now the scout came to report, the Jiangdong Army in the direction of Exian County has approached within thirty miles, and now it may be twenty-five miles." The guard's pale face reported.
"Probe, no matter what happens to this official, he must report the movements of the Jiangdong Army every half a pillar of incense." There was no thunderous anger as the guards imagined, because Huang Zu understood that by this time, anger was useless, and he had to remain absolutely calm.
"Report ...... Lord Taishou, the Jiangdong Navy made a big move, and it was only more than 30 miles away from the camp, and it was there in an instant. "The previous guard had just gone out, and another man came out panting to return.
Huang Zu also gave an order, and immediately sent someone to quickly gather the generals, explained the matter, and said regardless of the pale faces of the generals: "The enemy has been killed in front of the door, and we have no time, Captain Su, take your men and horses, and immediately go to meet the enemy." Huang Zu handed over the burden of blocking the attack to Su Fei.
"The last general commands." Su Fei said in a deep voice, but he lamented in his heart, if he goes, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back.
"Remember, when you come back alive, this official has another important responsibility." Huang Zu drew a flatbread.
Su Fei nodded and left in silence.
Huang Zu also knew that this was a life of nine deaths, so he was not angry at Su Fei's rudeness, but continued: "Captain Zhang, you are in charge of guarding the battalion and blocking the Jiangdong Army on land. After the fleet has withdrawn, you can abandon the camp and leave by boat. Remember, you must block it for at least half an hour, otherwise military law will be ruthless. Huang Zu looked at the other person again.
"The last general commands." The man replied with a bitter face.
"The rest of the men waited, immediately return to their positions, and leave the harbor as soon as the battleship is ready. The officer warned you to throw away all the things on the battleship that were not related to the war, otherwise it would affect the battle, and the officer would ask you. Huang Zu glanced at the remaining generals, "Now, go and prepare immediately, within half an hour, all the battleships must leave." ”
……
The sky gradually brightened, and the soldiers had received the news and understood their situation, and panic grew.
Of the hundreds of warships in the harbor, a small half is now lined up. What reassured Huang Zu was that most of the building ships and fighting ships had been withdrawn - this was the main force of the battle.
He himself had already left, and was directing the battleships to assemble on the river, and the fire on the shore had been burning for half an hour, and the fire was shining brightly.
At this time, the warships of the Jiangdong Navy appeared on the river downstream, and outside the camp of the Navy Army, traces of the Jiangdong Army also appeared.
The enclosure is completed at this moment of dawn.
