Chapter 19: Surprise from the Sky (Part II)
In the temple of the Yellow Heaven Sect, he was ordered to go out with the last defenders of the capital of Weiguo, and made a military order in public, vowing to stop the enemy's advance to Wei Chi Lide, who was west of the Wei River, and as soon as he came, he divided his already small forces into three parts, the first part had a total of 3,000 people, led by his most trusted subordinate, Han Yong, a disciple from Hanshi, along the river bank to the northwest, that is, in the Weihe River Basin, which was originally regarded as a shallow water beach to patrol, to prevent the enemy from secretly Chen Cang, secretly transferred, the second part is also 3,000 people, responsible for sitting in the center, ready to send out to help the other two ways of soldiers and horses, and the third part was the 4,000 people led by him personally, stationed less than eight miles away from the river bank, that is, the cliff where Gu Xuan chose to make a breakthrough.
It's a pity that although they are not too far away, they will never go out on such a cold and rainy night with extremely bad weather.
Wind and rain, but not just a simple four words, once in it, it is completely a kind of torture, ordinary people stay outside for a while, once the clothes are soaked, then they will immediately be unbearable, not to mention wearing wet clothes to stay outside for a night, freezing to death, plus they have always arbitrarily believed that the other party will never choose to cross the river from here, and may even give up marching into the capital because of this sudden rainy season, so these people have been very relaxed, and even at night, when this kind of most should be vigilant to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, there is not even a normal person standing guard inside and outside the camp。
This really can't be said that he is not strict in governing the army, but he doesn't dare to be strict at all, and he can't be strict, if you really want to talk about it, many of the people under him are his sons and nephews, is it really because of a possibility that may not be possible at all, and force these young people to guard outside all night?
As a person who has come over, he knows best, if the cold enters the body, maybe it was just a grinding illness at the time, and after the illness is cured, it may still be alive and well, but once he reaches his age, his physique is weak, and these hidden diseases that have not broken off their roots will break out one after another, that kind of taste, it is really terrible, if he really kills him directly, it will be good, what he is most afraid of is that it will drag on for more than ten years, so that his whole person has been in this kind of pain and suffering, he has a deep understanding of this, so he has always been ruthless to let these people stand guard outside in the rain。
And such a lazy and lazy 4,000 people who can't bear any hardship are Gu Xuan's real goal tonight, he must fight quickly and make a final decision, because the soldiers on his side are already inferior in numbers, plus they have just crossed the river, climbed the mountain, and hurried, but they only took a short break halfway, and the whole team is still very tired, which is not conducive to a long battle at all, just in case, he must go straight to the Yellow Dragon, take advantage of the other party's inattention, and go straight to the place where the opponent's main general is for a decisive battle!
Under the shroud of thick dark clouds overhead, between heaven and earth, it was pitch black, and because of this, some lights in the distant enemy camp became so eye-catching, if you used enough eyesight, you could even see a figure in the tent swaying with the wind, and now it was almost midnight, but I didn't know if these people had not slept or had woken up.
But in any case, the people outside will not stop their pace of advancement, these thousand three hundred people are all the strength that Gu Xuan has this time, they are holding the most convenient traditional scimitar of the Rakshasa clan, and together with the commander who is still leading the way at the front, they hold their breath and quietly touch it.
Gu Xuan walked at the front of the team, holding a sword that was specially painted with black paint so that it would not reflect in the night, causing it to be discovered by the enemy, and the whole person was like a tanuki hunting at night, although it didn't make a sound, but the murderous aura seemed to really exist.
And five miles!
Three miles!
Two miles!
One mile!
Half a mile!
It's coming, it's coming!
Gu Xuan squinted at the one-eyed, raised his head to look over there, and after scanning back and forth a few times, he realized that there was really no one on the other side guarding outside!
Probably because the wind outside is still blowing hard at the moment, and the cold rain is still falling, so no one will come out at such a time to find themselves unhappy.
And he only discerned it slightly, and he had easily found the enemy's main tent.
There is no other reason, it is not how good Gu Xuan's eyesight is and how strong his observation is, but it is actually that the other party built it too obviously, or too blatantly.
In fact, after the two armies are fighting and camping with each other, no matter which side of the commander's tent is, it is impossible to build it so conspicuously, the reason is very simple, you do this, it is equivalent to pointing out the position of your own commander to others, and put your weaknesses and weaknesses in the open, as long as people want to, then there is always a way to target you, whether it is poisoning, or assassination, or using trebuchets to bomb, it is very unfavorable to the safety of the commander, so it is usually either a uniform specification, hiding in other tents, so that the enemy can not find out, or constantly changing positions, so that even if it is exposed once, the enemy has no way to carry out targeted assassination, or simply set up a suspicious array and make a few identical ones, and the enemy can't distinguish the real from the fake, so naturally he won't dare to do it.
And originally Wei Chi Lide, a veteran who has been to the border and has been on the battlefield, wants to do the same, no matter whether the other party can cross the river or not, no matter where they cross the river from, whether they can come up from here or not, all in all, he is used to this, but he can't stop these descendants from taking the initiative to be courteous.
Regardless of whether the relationship between this Wei Chi Lide and the current emperor is not as incompatible as rumored by the outside world, then after all, he is also a member of the Wei Chi family, and his own nephew is still a big celebrity around the emperor, and in terms of generation, the current emperor can also be regarded as his grandchildren, so he can really embarrass the old man, and pleasing him is equivalent to stammering the Wei Chi family, which is always beneficial.
These second ancestors who served as errands in the Imperial City Janissary Army, wandering around the huge palace every day, witnessing the intrigue of officialdom, forming parties for personal gain, and flattery, so in the subtle way, they also automatically learned such a set of kung fu to slap horses, so even if Wei Chi Lide did everything possible to refuse at the beginning, they still forcibly built the largest and most luxurious tent for him to live in.
And when this kind of arrow is on the bow and has to be sent, Gu Xuan will no longer think about whether the other party deliberately attracts his attention in this way, it is like having a wonderful opportunity in front of you, seize it, you can win everything, but it can also be a bottomless pit that makes you fall into the abyss, but when you are in a desperate situation, do you still have time to think about the second possibility?
Life is an adventure, many times, you can only gamble, and only such a proud person can achieve more easily, so Gu Xuan didn't think about it, so he waved his hand directly and whispered to Zak beside him: "Wait a minute, you guys come with me, and go directly to the biggest tent inside, do you understand?"
Sack hurriedly nodded in agreement, and then, everyone began to suppress their voices, and the people around them in turn, the voice was as small as a mosquito, even if there was no rain and wind around the cover, the movement was very weak, even if ordinary people heard it on the side, as long as they didn't really see it, it was estimated that it was only their own hallucination, and they would never pay special attention to it.
In the camp of Lieutenant Chi Lide in front, many people had indeed woken up at this time, not that they were really so diligent, but because the wind and rain and thunder outside were so loud that they couldn't sleep at this time, but basically they were still hiding in the warm bed, obviously unwilling to get up immediately.
Sun Donghai, who was lying on a row of big kang in the tent, was not from a serious family, their family could only be said to be a local famous family, although there was also a bit of industry, but in the eyes of those great families who had really inherited for hundreds of years, it was nothing, but because he was lucky enough to climb into a relative with the Wei Chi family of the first family of the Wei Dynasty, his worth rose sharply, and his status became different, even if his own sister was just married to a side child of the Wei Chi family, but with this nepotism, he still got the beauty of the Miyagi Praetorian Guard, which everyone envied。
Don't look at the surface he is just a gatekeeper, but that also depends on whose door it is, the royal gate is indispensable, and there is a lot of rest time, the most important thing is that it is convenient to be familiar with the big officials in the capital, occasionally convenient with people, and can also earn personal favors by the way, which is the fat shortage that ordinary people can't envy.
This time he came out with the big army, and he was completely forced to come, he was forced to come by Xie Situ, thinking that he was a child of a wang family, even if he was not as profound as the children of the Wei Chi family, but he was born in Zhong Mingding's family, he was pampered since he was a child, and he didn't have any hard life.
This is not only him, but most of the people here have the same idea, that is, if they can be lazy, they will be lazy, so even if Wei Chi Lide really picks up the whip and wants to whip them, it is estimated that it is impossible for anyone to obediently go to stand guard and stand all night in the future.
How easy it is to go from thrift to luxury, and how difficult it is to go from luxury to thrift!
"Hey!"
He thought a little aggrieved, yawned, turned over again, and was ready to continue to sleep, and wait for the rain to light up again, but at this moment, outside the tent, which was still swaying with the strong wind, suddenly there was a very dense and very low footsteps, as if a group of ants were moving next to the ears when lying down.
He was slightly stunned, and then showed a somewhat helpless expression, he didn't even think about whether it would be the enemy who sneaked in on the rainy night, but shook his head, and then got into the warm quilt with peace of mind, and muttered in his mouth: "Damn, this day is still running out, one by two, this gambling addiction is really big!"
When they are in the capital, they either go to some song shops and prostitution halls for recreation, or gamble for money, not only go to the gambling houses in the capital, but also open a market in the palace privately, even if they get here, this damn problem has not been able to quit.
But on the one hand, they were worried that Yu Chi Lide would find out and scold them, so they deliberately chose to play in the middle of the night, ran to the banker's tent in the rain, and secretly ran back in the early morning, even if they were bumped into by Wei Chi Lide halfway, they also had a long time to say, just say that they got up at night, or they were not at ease, come out to inspect it, anyway, the first party could not really punish them, and the second because they were all bookkeeping, so there was no cash on them, and Yu Chi Lide couldn't do anything about them.
You say it's ridiculous, let them stand guard outside in shifts, they don't want to, and they dislike the cold, and they are troubled by the heavy rain, but when they say they want to gamble, they seem to have a momentum out of thin air, supporting themselves to get up from the bed secretly, and go between the tents in the rain, and their hearts are comfortable, and even a little leisurely and happy!
Sun Donghai only thought that those colleagues were itching again, so he secretly called for someone to gamble together, but where could he have expected that a massacre would come on a rainy night.
