Chapter 170: The Enemy Attacks at Night
In the evening, Zhu Long and the generals gathered a large pot around the tent, which was hot dog meat, and everyone was very happy while eating the meat and drinking.
"Lord, you said that we killed Gao Lian's brother-in-law, will he send someone to trouble us?" Wei Dingguo said with some worry.
Zhu Long said with a smile: "Look at what you said, it seems that if we don't kill Yin Tianci, Gao Lian won't trouble us!" ”
"I'm afraid that he won't come, it's just right to come, let's break Gaotang Prefecture and see if Gaotang Prefecture is richer than Lingzhou!" Zhu Hu still has meat in his mouth, and said vaguely.
"No, it's not the first time we've broken the state capital, what is Gaotang Prefecture!" Qin Ming didn't take Gao Lian to heart.
Seeing that Qin Ming and Zhu Hu were already a little proud, Zhu Long put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, stared at them and said, "The so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, don't underestimate the enemy's mistakes!" This is not to be underestimated! ”
Everyone looked at him and wanted to hear him talk about what skills these Gao Lian had, but Zhu Long didn't say anything, bowed his head and ate his head, and feasted happily.
Suddenly, he raised his head again and said, "I will be on duty in the first half of the night tonight, and I will be Brother Zeng Erlang in the second half of the night!" ”
Zeng Mi hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
From his tone, I could hear that he was in a very happy mood, although it was hard to be on duty at night, could he still be afraid of hard work when marching and fighting? This can also show that Zhu Long trusts him and truly regards him as his own.
He remembered something and asked, "My lord, what is the password tonight?" ”
Zhu Long thought for a moment and said, "Beat the dog!" ”
After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their tents and went to sleep.
Zhu Long did not sleep, he put on this armor and patrolled the camp.
Camping during the march, the army was uneasy, and in a completely unfamiliar environment, if the enemy attacked, the soldiers could easily bomb the camp.
It will be a soldier's courage. The presence of the Lord in front of the soldier is the easiest way to reassure the soldier.
So Zhu Long patrolled around, so that the soldiers could see it, and Zhu Daguan was with them. Lu Fang was wearing silver frost iron armor, holding Fang Tian's halberd, and followed behind inch by inch.
Two or three miles outside the barracks, there were hidden sentry posts and secret sentries, so the soldiers in the barracks slept peacefully.
Two hours later, it was already the second half of the night, and Zengmi came out of the tent and strode over, "Lord, you go to rest, I should keep vigil!" ”
"Good! Thank you! Zhu Long patted him on the shoulder and returned to his tent.
Zhu Long's sleep quality was very good, and he fell asleep as soon as his head was on the pillow.
He had many dreams, all of which were unrelated images, and these pictures had no connotation or meaning at all, and they were absurd.
In his dream he heard a bird's chirping, coming from far away, the birdsong was very ethereal, and he couldn't really hear it, and at first he felt very noisy, and suddenly he realized something, and sat up suddenly.
Zhu Long, who woke up from the dream, listened attentively, and this time he really heard it, and it was very clear!
His face changed, this is the warning sound of the dark sentinels, which means that there is an enemy attack!
He hurriedly rushed out of the tent and almost collided with Zeng Mi.
Zeng Mi was startled, he came to wake up Zhu Long, but he didn't expect Zhu Long to suddenly rush out of the tent, "Lord, there is an enemy to sneak attack!" ”
Zhu Long said in a deep voice: "Hurry up and wake up all the brothers!" ”
"I've sent people to shout one by one!"
The barracks was not large, five hundred men and horses, only more than fifty tents, several soldiers went separately to shout, and after a while they all woke up, and everyone hurriedly put on their clothes and armor, and put on saddles and stirrups, and in less than a quarter of an hour they were assembled.
Zeng Mi, Shi Wengong and Wei Dingguo were dumbfounded, they were all good at training, but seeing Zhu Jiajun's quick reaction still made them feel unbelievable.
The generals of the Great Song Dynasty rarely carried out actual combat drills like Zhu Long, and often suddenly beat gongs and drums in the middle of the night, ordering everyone to assemble urgently, and more than half a stick of incense was considered to be a failure.
Zhu Long pointed behind him, and the generals understood, and led the cavalry to the back of the barracks, everyone led their horses, did not speak, and hid in the darkness behind the barracks.
Zhu Long stood behind a tent, guessing in his heart who was going to attack him.
Are they cheap officers and soldiers or Tian Hu's subordinates, or are they officers and soldiers from other states and counties? Could it be Zhang Qing from Dongchang Mansion next door?
Zhu Longzheng guessed that several figures appeared in front of the gate of the barracks, sneaky, not like the officers and soldiers who came to sneak attack, but a little like thieves.
These figures walked out of the darkness and entered the light emitted by the fire in the Zhujia army's barracks, but behind them, like a tide, a large group of figures continued to pour out.
The first stout man, holding a mourning sword in his hand, tiptoed to the front of the gate with a group of younger brothers, and when he saw that there was no one at the door, he turned around and shouted to his subordinates: "Brothers, kill me, do this vote, and eat and drink spicy food from now on!" ”
"Kill!" The leader of the sneak attack party shouted, took the lead and rushed in, slashed open at a tent, and was about to swing his sword to cut people, but he cut into the air, and there was no one inside!
He then rushed into two more tents, not seeing anyone.
"Oh no, I've been tricked!" The leader is not stupid, he drags the big sword, turns around and runs.
"Where to run!" Zhu Long shouted, and the cavalry of the Zhu family army rumbled and ran, rushing to the sneak attack side.
Zhu Long and Lu Fang rode in the middle, Zhu Hu, Qin Ming, and Huang Xin were on the left, and Shi Wengong and Zengmi were on the right. Like three arrows!
They rode their horses and soon caught up, slashing the enemy from behind, and the sneak attackers were so cunning that they scattered and fled into the woods, and the cavalry was helpless.
Zhu Long was puzzled in his heart, this was not like an official army, but a group of bandits who didn't leave their hands behind.
Collecting troops and returning to the camp and entering the tent, everyone found that Shi Wengong was missing.
Zhu Long looked at Zeng Mi and said, "Brother Zeng Mi, you are with Teacher Shi, have you ever seen where he went?" ”
"He's after the enemy leader!" Zeng Mi worried: "I was going to go just now, but he refused. As the saying goes: Every time you don't enter the forest, although the history teacher is strong in martial arts, it is really worrying to chase into the woods in this dark night! ”
"Lao Qin, Lu Fang come with me!" Zhu Long strode out, ready to pick up Shi Wengong, just a few steps, but saw Shi Wengong coming back, still carrying a person in his hand.
He came to Zhu Long, threw the person in his hand to the ground, and said to Zhu Long: "This is the leader of the enemy army, who was captured by his subordinates, please ask the lord to interrogate!" ”
"Awesome!" Zhu Hu gave Shi Wengong a thumbs up, walked up to the leader lying on the ground, kicked him lightly, and said angrily: "What is the name of your bird?" Dare to disturb grandpa sleeping, so there is no public morality, if you don't entertain honestly, my lord, I will let you not want to sleep for three days and three nights! ”
"You have the ability to cut off my head and see if I can fall asleep!" This leader is still very tough!
"Ouch, I'm still a good man in front of my grandfather, I won't let it! Get up and see how your grandfather convinces you! ”
Zhu Long waved his hand, let Zhu Hu go away, stared at the leader of the sneak attack army and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I am Bao Xu, who falls into the grass in the withered tree mountain, because I am good at making a mourning sword, so the people of the rivers and lakes call me the god of mourning!"
