Text: The Great Power Struggle_Chapter 153 Truce
It was getting dark, and the soldiers in the camp had all gone to rest after eating. Today's meal time is much earlier than before, and I can only eat some dry food, and I don't let life cook at all. No one knows what the commander of the army, Zhang Han, and the sacrificial wine Chen Gong think, anyway, the order is like this, even his own king did not hide from it.
The garrison force of the battalion is still very good, not only there are many posts at the gate of the battalion, but also many secret posts are distributed. With such vigilance strength, it is simply impossible for the enemy to sneak attack. Besides, the distance between the two camps is only 500 steps, 3 or 400 meters, and everyone knows what they do.
As the days passed, it became darker and darker, and the only torches and braziers in the barracks could provide a little light for everyone. In the night sky, there was no moon, perhaps the moon sensed the unrest of the night and hid home.
This time was about ten o'clock in the night, and Xiao Chen had just slept for three or four hours when he was woken up by several guards. After some inquiry, it turned out that Zhang Han and Chen Gong invited themselves to the big tent of the Chinese army. When I followed the guards to the Chinese army's tent, it was already crowded with people. At a glance, all of them were generals wearing shiny fish scale armor.
"Gongtai, what are you calling the big guy to do at this time. If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, do you miss women again? Xiao Chen yawned and said to Chen Gong.
Chen Gong was full of black lines at that time, and said leisurely: "King Qiyu, I'm not inviting everyone over, it's General Zhang!" ”
"Hey! Gongtai, how can you cheat me like this. Obviously, I was also shouted by you, okay..."
Yes, as soon as Zhang Han spoke, Chen Gong was immediately speechless. Nima, such a group of bastards, teamed up to pit themselves.
"Haha, okay, don't be funny. Zhang Han, Gongtai, let's talk about what is going on with everyone! After Xiao Chen looked at Chen Gong's helpless face, he laughed for a while before saying.
"King Qiyu, the last general thinks that it is very likely that the Gallic Kingdom will carry out a night attack on our army tonight!" Zhang Han calmed down and said.
Xiao Chen was startled, and then said: "No, our two camps are four hundred steps apart, how can they sneak attack!" ”
"Hmm~ Okay, maybe it should be said to be a strong attack!" The corners of Zhang Han's mouth twitched and said.
"Storming? Joan of Arc's brain isn't broken! ”
"That is, although they have hundreds of thousands of people, we are not easy to mess with!" Hua Rong next to him said.
Chen Gong smiled, and then said, "They will definitely attack, and the target is our catapult." If, they are not able to destroy our large number of catapults this evening. Then tomorrow, they can only watch their big camp be destroyed! ”
"That's right!" Zhang Han said approvingly.
"In that case, what are the plans of the two of you, say it so that the big guy can hurry up and prepare!" Xiao Chen said.
"No!" Zhang Han saluted, and then continued: "Ma Chao! ”
"The last general!"
"Your cavalry, can you fight again!"
"Hmph~ The brothers have been waiting for revenge for a long time! Now you can fight on the battlefield! Ma Chao immediately frowned and said.
"Well, in a moment you will lead all the cavalry, horses and horses, hooves and feet, and set out from the back of the camp. I'll send someone to clear out the enemy spies first. ”
"No!"
"Where is Hua Rong!"
"The last general!"
"Hua Rong, you will lead the 50,000 most elite troops of our army to leave the camp from the interior of the camp. Then, lie in ambush at the exit, wait for the camp to start a fire, and kill the enemy's rear! ”
"No!"
"Chen Zhi!"
"The last general!"
"You led 20,000 foot soldiers and carried fierce fire oil canisters out of the camp from the tunnels on the north side of the camp. Ambush at the exit, wait until the war drums in the camp sound, and immediately set fire to the grass on the ground! ”
"No!" Chen Zhi said suspiciously.
It's almost autumn, but it's still hot. The grass on the ground is still green and green, can it be lit? Although he felt strange in his heart, Chen Zhi still took the military order.
"Strategist, I'm going to ask you to help take care of some small things in the camp."
"Haha, General, follow orders!" Chen Gong said with a smile.
Xiao Chen yawned again and said, "There's nothing going on down there, I'll go to bed first!" ”
A group of people around "......" were all covered with black lines.
"That.. O king, there is really nothing to do, go to sleep. However, you have to find a good place to sleep, in the chaos of the army, no one to protect, it is really prone to accidents. Zhang Han nodded and spoke.
Xiao Chen didn't know how many times the corners of his mouth twitched, and then said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll drink tea again!" ”
"Hahaha..." Several of the surrounding generals laughed, and the corners of Xiao Chen's mouth twitched even more. However, Xiao Chen was not angry, he was originally a kind person, and he would not get angry if he didn't do anything. A group of his subordinates also understand their own temperament.
Besides, in the past, more than a dozen people drank and farted together, and the relationship has long surpassed the relationship between monarchs and ministers. It's okay to laugh or something, it's nothing.
After that, it's up to everyone to play their own business, and there's not much movement in the barracks. In order to avoid being discovered by the enemy on the opposite side, they can only move quietly. Even, there can only be dozens of people and dozens of people to move, and even the 50,000 infantry led by Hua Rong can only go out with dozens of people.
However, fortunately, during the day, everyone dug a lot of tunnels in the tent, which allowed the army to get out quickly. Of course, during the day, they are all dug inside the tent, after all, it is only five hundred paces away, and if you don't do this, you can't block the eyes of the other side at all.
As for the cavalry going out, it was simple, and many people were sprinkled around the camp to clear the surrounding enemy spies. It did not arouse the suspicion of the enemy, after all, the two armies were too close to each other. If you don't clean it up, the sentry is too dangerous, and everyone can't sleep at ease.
Although the army went out a little slowly, everything was still going smoothly and was not detected by the enemy. Xiao Chen sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, drinking tea with Zhang Han, Chen Gong and the rest of the generals who had no tasks.
"My General Zhang, we've drunk seven or eight cups of tea, when is it a head. Labor and management have a little hair in their stomachs! Xiao Chen said with a complaining face.
Zhang Han smiled awkwardly and said, "Wang, I still have some high-quality tea there, do you want to try it again?" ”
"Damn, you're ruthless! Nima, I've tasted three or four kinds of good tea, and let me taste it! After speaking, Xiao Chen casually piled up on the chair and patted his belly gently!
"King, there's a toilet over there!" Zhang Han smiled and said.
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes, didn't say anything, and continued to drink tea... By twelve o'clock, the night was completely dark. The two camps were all surrounded by darkness, and only the little fire in the camp was particularly dazzling. But in the darkness, from time to time there was a miserable shrill sound.
It was the reconnaissance forces between the two sides fighting each other, and they were just like the modern special forces. Stay on the deep, vast plains, looking for any place to hide yourself. Then, wait quietly, waiting for the enemy to come to the door himself!
Suddenly... A soldier of the Beichen Army hidden in the darkness, his eyes staring at the distance of dozens of paces in front of him. After that, his ears were pressed to the ground, and he listened with a frown. The ground didn't shake much, but footsteps could be heard.
Many! A lot! The steps are very noisy, not one person walking around, and dozens of people will not be able to appear such noisy footsteps. Then, there is only one possibility - the enemy army is dispatched.
However, now that the enemy is not far in front of him, if he moves, he will definitely be discovered by the enemy. Besides, I was more than a hundred steps away from the camp, and it was impossible for me to rush back in time.
What to do, what to do! What to do!
Listening to the increasingly dense footsteps, in a little later, maybe the enemy will run to the main camp. There were no companions of his own, and many of his brothers died at the hands of the enemy in the darkness. He was also not lightly wounded, and he lay on the ground and mixed up, without being discovered by the enemy.
Perhaps it is time for you to be with your brothers!
"Enemy attack! Attack of the Gallic Kingdom! Enemy attack! The soldier clutched the wound in his chest and stood up straight from the ground. Then, he went straight in the direction of his own camp. Running and roaring loudly..."Enemy attack! "Poof", "Poof"... There was another two words of enemy attack, followed by the sound of sharp weapons entering the flesh. Dozens of arrows shot directly at the place where the sound sounded, and the soldier was hit.
"Enemy attack..."The soldier fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, his eyes still fixed in the direction of the camp.
A terrible cry in the darkness naturally startled the sentry guarding the camp! After that, there were bursts of drums and trumpets. There were also quite a few guards shouting for an enemy attack and calling out to their companions.
Xiao Chen was about to fall asleep, really, he was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, there was a sound of leather drums in the camp, followed by a cacophony of sounds.
"What's wrong, what's wrong!" Xiao Chen looked at Chen Gong, who was sitting next to him, and asked.
At this time, Zhang Han opened the big tent and walked in, saying, "King Qiqi, it seems that the enemy is coming!" ”
"What's the matter, isn't it good that the enemy is coming?" Xiao Chen looked at Zhang Han's horizontal eyebrows and turned into vertical eyebrows, and asked strangely.
"King Qiyu, the cavalry and infantry out of the camp are not yet in place! The enemy came too early! Zhang Han saluted and said.
Xiao Chen was also stunned, the soldiers and horses arranged were not in place?
"Then let the soldiers in the battalion block it to the death, and wait for the rest of the troops to arrive!" Xiao Chen said.
"That's what the last general thinks, but in this case, the casualties of the troops may not be small!"
"Are the troops of our Beichen Kingdom afraid of death?"
"The Admiral understands!"
"Let's go, let's go and see together!"
"No!"
When Xiao Chen followed Zhang Han to the camp wall, there were already a lot of fires in the camp. This was caused by arrows wrapped in incendiary cloth fired by the enemy, and in the barracks, Chen Gong was commanding many soldiers to extinguish the fire everywhere.
Outside the camp, it was already as bright as day, and the torches that the Beichen Army lit on the ground, as well as the torches lit by the enemy after they were discovered again, completely lit up the entire night sky.
Countless leather-clad Gallic soldiers rushed towards the walls of the main camp, hundreds of small ladders serving as their passages. There were not many soldiers of the Beichen Army on the camp wall, and many of them had just been sorted into the queue and were coming towards the camp wall in a queue.
It's not that the Beichen army reacted slowly, the army was originally ordered to sleep in armor tonight, and when the drums sounded, everyone quickly rushed out of the tent. After that, instead of a honeycomb pouring up the camp walls, the soldiers began to search for their large troops.
When fighting, the most taboo thing for generals is that military orders are not understood. And when the military orders are announced, the ones who really command the low-level soldiers are those lower-level officers. Only through lower-level officers can a general do it like an arm. Therefore, only after the junior officers have gathered the soldiers under their command will they be pulled to the front line to accept the command.
Otherwise, the general issued a military order, and as a result, there were only three or five people, and how could the battle be fought. The generals in Niucha can't just look at it and know how many troops they have sent out to carry out military orders.
At the beginning, the camp wall was in danger. However, fortunately, the strength of the soldiers of the Beichen Army is not bad, they are all elite veterans, and they can also hold the camp wall. When a large number of their own troops climbed the camp wall, that little bit of danger was no longer there.
Even so, the Beichen Army is still not very comfortable. After all, there's an army of 400,000 down there. After sending out tens of thousands of troops, there were only about 100,000 troops in the battalion, and the rest were some members of the transport team.
The soldiers on both sides were fighting to the death, and countless arrows flew over the Beichen army camp. There are also many rockets flying high in the sky, like ultra-small meteors, streaking across the sky and falling into the camp. It added a bit of pressure to the personnel who stayed in the camp to extinguish the fire.
Similarly, the archers of the Beichen Army were not to be outdone, although they did not have the number of nearly 100,000 on the opposite side, but there were nearly 30,000 people. In addition, the small stones thrown by the catapults in the camp were no worse than the archers of Gaul!
In an instant, the entire night sky shattered its original calm. The sounds of fighting, screaming, and all kinds of noisy sounds all came together, bringing the whole world into a lively atmosphere, and there was no peace before.
The battle was still raging, and the soldiers on both sides were fighting for the orders they had received. The Beichen Army's two-way ambush army is still moving rapidly, doing its best to cooperate with the army.
