Chapter 910: Take it when you see it
The whining horn and the beating of drums were particularly clear in the middle of the night, quickly waking up many Liangzhou soldiers who had just fallen asleep. They barely hesitated, and as soon as they rolled over from their humble bedding, they put on their winter coats and armor haphazardly, and rushed out with their weapons in hand.
The generals who came down from Song Qiyun were even more like facing a great enemy, and in the shouting and cheering, they couldn't stop ordering their subordinates to prepare for battle.
The Liangzhou military camp, which was originally lit by only a few bonfires, quickly lit up rows of torches, illuminating the entire camp inside and outside as if it were day.
I have to say that this is a real elite army with strict discipline and prohibitions.
Even if something unexpected happened at night, many soldiers were still able to take full precautions in a short period of time and enter the combat state. The entire battalion is even more chaotic, and the soldiers perform their duties, which is better than the vast majority of soldiers and horses in the world.
Song Qiyun had a solemn face, staring at the pitch-black wilderness outside.
He knew that after many days of fierce attacks failed to open the gap, the Vietnamese army on the opposite side would definitely use more drastic means. However, this night attack on them was not unused before, and the result of this time was bound to be the same, and the soldiers and horses under his command would definitely be able to repel them.
In this way, I waited for half an hour, but it was still calm outside the camp.
Except for the whistling wind, there was no other sound, and even the amazing drum and trumpet just now was gone, let alone the movement of the army.
What's going on? Is it that the enemy saw that they were defending themselves properly, so they gave up tonight's offensive?
All the soldiers looked at each other and muttered.
Some people feel excited, others feel annoyed, this is not as good as the last real battle, and some people yawn and want to go back to rest.
Only a very few people were a little more worried at this time, such as Song Qiyun.
He vaguely guessed the purpose of the enemy army, I am afraid that he intends to use such a night attack to drag down his own army, which is really difficult to deal with.
When he waved his hand to let the soldiers disband on the spot, leaving only a few people to keep vigil, two subordinates with solemn expressions came up to him: "General, they plan to use this method to make us not rest!" ”
"You see that, too?" Song Qiyun frowned and said, "Obviously, they are still several miles away from our camp, and this little movement alone is enough for about a thousand people." With 1,000 people, it can drag tens of thousands of soldiers in our entire battalion from being stable, but it is really an extremely cost-effective deal.
"And I'm sure it's just the beginning, and we'll not want to sleep soundly for the rest of the night."
"It's despicable! General, why don't we ignore them......" one of them suggested.
"Ignore it? So what if they do come on? Song Qiyun asked rhetorically, and immediately made the other party speechless.
This is the negative side of the weaker passive side, the initiative is in the Vietnamese army, they can only harass, but you have to guard against it. Because you can't afford to gamble, and the current dark night makes it difficult for people to know the situation outside.
As long as a night attack is real, and the Liangzhou military camp has not been prepared, the price to be paid will be extremely tragic.
Moreover, Song Qiyun's cautious use of troops also made him dare not relax in this matter. As for the soldiers below, I'm afraid they don't dare to really relax.
As he was talking, suddenly there was another drum and trumpet sound outside, and it was no different from before. 33
In this way, the soldiers who had just returned to the tent and lay down were all busy again, wanting to fight.
But the result was still the same, and after waiting for half a day, not a single enemy came.
And after this toss, the long night is almost over, and the white of the fish belly can be seen in the east.
It was only after dawn that the Vietnamese army sent a small force of troops and horses to attack the camp, and there were still a large number of main forces behind, putting on a posture of killing at any time, dragging the whole army of the Liangzhou military camp, so that they did not dare to relax in the slightest.
As a result, at the end of the day, the offensive was much more relaxed than in the previous days, and the attack was actually more of a false response.
But this is the same as the harassment at night, the Vietnamese army can not go all out, but the Liangzhou army, as the defender, has to go all out and dare not slack off.
In this way, the generals, who had slept for less than half the night, were exhausted at dusk and sunset, and when the battle ended, they really could not say anything.
But for them, the terrible test has just begun.
Because on this night, just after the second watch, the sound of drums and trumpets outside suddenly rose again, and it was accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.
Although the generals learned wiser this time and did not let all the soldiers get up to take precautions, even if they did not get up, they were all afraid, how could they sleep soundly in the sound of drums and trumpets.
And this night, such a movement appeared four times, and every more than half an hour, there would be the sound of drums and trumpets killing, so that the Liangzhou army had to sweat for their own safety.
It's just that the final result, like last night, is still thunder and no rain, except for harassment, there is no substantive attack at all.
At this time, the generals really couldn't stand it, and before the sky was completely bright, some generals approached Song Qiyun to ask for battle: "General, it's better to let the humble post lead an army out of the camp to attack them tonight." We can't let them harass us so brazenly anymore. ”
There were not just one or two people who made this request, but as many as seven or eight generals. They all had red eyes, I don't know if it was because they were angry, or because they couldn't close their eyes for two nights.
But Song Qiyun shook his head and said resolutely: "No!" If it is to send troops, it is a real plan of the enemy. They did so much to get us out of the camp. Once our army loses its geographical advantage, what will it do to fight with an enemy army with a large number of people? ”
"But General, if we continue like this, we won't be able to last long. Look at the brothers below, all of them are now out of spirit, and this will continue for another night or two, and then we will not need the enemy to attack, and we will collapse ourselves! ”
The generals said angrily, to be honest, they had never fought such a wretched battle for so many years. It's just a passive defense.,Now it's being played at will.,But there's no chance to crack and fight back.。
Looking at the generals with indignant and annoyed looks, Song Qiyun knew that this had reached the most critical moment. Once you make the wrong choice, no one can afford to lose.
He has been ordered to block the Vietnamese army here for ten days, and the young marshal who wants to return to Liangzhou first has already arranged everything.
Since there is already a problem with the stubborn defense strategy, and we have to guard against another Vietnamese army that may be chasing at any time, it is time to accept it when it is good.
He had a plan in his heart, and Zhengse said: "Everything will be talked about tonight, and when the time comes, I will give you an explanation!" ”
Some people died, but not completely......
