Chapter 198: Prelude to the Night Confrontation
"General, the Jizhou Army is less than a hundred miles away from our army."
"General, the Jizhou Army is less than fifty miles away from our army."
"General, the Jizhou Army is encamped twenty miles away from our army."
Scouts frequently came to report, Zhu Jun's heart couldn't help but be secretly surprised, the marching speed of the Jizhou army was really not ordinarily fast, and the elite degree of the Jizhou army could be seen from here. And Liu Ke definitely knows the news of his encampment here, but Liu Ke still maintains such a marching speed, obviously he has a backhand preparation, and it is rumored that Guo Jia, the staff officer of the Jizhou Legion on this march, has the title of "ghost talent" in Jizhou, and will never make such a low-level mistake. So Zhu Jun decided to stay put.
Zhu Junjun did not move, these things had long been expected by Guo Jia, and Guo Jia was not surprised by this. After the Jizhou army set up camp, except for some patrol soldiers, the rest of the people all entered the first-level state of readiness and rested well. For several days in a row, it was a strong army, and even if it was as strong as the Jizhou army, it was difficult to bear it.
"Zhu Jun, as a famous general of the Han generation, is just a pity that he is a tiger in his old age, and his reputation is ruined. Hey, that's a shame. Liu Ke said with a sigh in the main tent of the Jizhou Army Camp, thinking that the first threat they faced when they first occupied Le'an with people was the 20,000 army in Zhu Jun's hands, if the three of them didn't take the initiative to bend down to show weakness to Zhu Jun, then there would be no current Jizhou Army.
It can be said that without Zhu Jun's "wisdom of knowing people" before, Fan Xiwen's current power would not have been, if Zhu Jun hadn't given them an official position at that time, then the eleven of them would only slowly die out in silence, or survive by relying on people's breath.
But Liu Ke was not interested in Zhu Jun, because Zhu Jun was willing to give Fan Xiwen a Le'an order for the sake of their great potential, if Zhu Jun did not see the potential of Fan Xiwen and others, then Zhu Jun would not hesitate to choose to annex Fan Xiwen.
"What's the pity? Zhu Jun prides himself on being a righteous man, but he wants to help Queen He, since he has come to the opposite side of us, then let him be ruined! Guo Jia said indifferently on the side, it seemed that he didn't have a good impression of Zhu Jun.
"Fengxiao, you and Xiwen have been waiting for a long time, it's different." Liu Ke said with a smile, Guo Jia did not refute such words.
"Alright, you go down and rest first! I'm going to have to do my best tonight. "As the commander-in-chief of the march, Liu Ke has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he definitely can't rest first at this time.
The Jizhou Legion is only twenty miles away from Zhu Jun's army, which is the best distance for attacking, so Guo Jia expects Zhu Jun to attack the camp tonight, so the main task of the Jizhou Army now is to recover from physical strength and be ready to fight at all times and quietly wait for the enemy to attack.
As for Zhu Jun's previous idea that Guo Jia and Liu Ke would have a back hand, then everything was Guo Jia's calculation of Zhu Jun, and the Jizhou Army was all forced to march, and there were no rear troops at all. Guo Jia just took advantage of Zhu Jun's experience as a famous general in a hundred battles.
Zhu Jun's troops are only 30,000, and if such a force goes to fight Zhang Jiao, he may have a great chance of winning, but if he faces the same well-trained Jizhou Army, Zhu Jun will only be able to survive for a while even if he wants to defend to the death. If you want to win the 90,000 elites of the Jizhou Army, then Zhu Jun can only rely on the method of attacking the camp to win, the Jizhou Army marched more than 150 miles in more than a day, this is Guo Jia deliberately showed Zhu Jun the elite of the Jizhou Army, the purpose is to force Zhu Jun to attack the camp.
In the face of Guo Jia's pressing step by step, what choice will Zhu Jun make? Oh, by the way, in fact, the best partner with Guo Jia is not Liu Ke, but Fan Xiwen.
The night was still silent, and Zhu Jun finally made a difficult decision when the enemy was outnumbered, and Zhu Jun decided to personally take 10,000 troops to the Jizhou camp. For the sake of safety, Sima Zhao Xu of the Chinese army temporarily led the army to stay in the camp as the commander-in-chief.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Zhu Jun sent the scouts out again, and Lao Zhu still knew the ability of the Jizhou army scouts, and you may not know when people touched you, so in order to ensure the mystery of doing things, Lao Zhu decided to take it safe. After the scout explored all the surrounding ten miles, he gave back to Lao Zhu, and then Lao Zhu went out with the army to find Liu Ke to join forces.
10,000 people, even if your body is bent low, no matter how easy your steps are, you can still see a large group of black shadows moving in the distance, as a rich reconnaissance speech Jizhou Army scouts are quite clear, so as soon as Lao Zhu and the people came out of the camp, the Jizhou camp received the information. So Liu Ke ordered the battalion to act according to the plan, the Jizhou battalion was like a giant beast lurking in the darkness quietly opened its bloody mouth and waited for Zhu Jun's arrival, as a party Zhu Jun at this time, even if he knew that the Jizhou army had already prepared, he could only bite the bullet and hit the bloody mouth, this was Zhu Jun's only chance to win.
"Let's go, Fengxiao, pay attention to your own safety!" After Liu Ke finished speaking, he stepped on the stirrup and turned over on the horse, and with a wave of his big hand, thousands of iron horsemen followed Liu Ke to the rear camp, and then left the Jizhou camp. Since he knew that Zhu Jun would attack the camp, how could Guo Jia not have another plan besides being prepared? If you are bullied to the head, at least you have to do it for a tooth, so Liu Ke will also take people to attack the camp.
Tonight is destined to be a blend of blood and war, destined to stage a showdown in this vast wasteland plain.
And on an unknown hill in Sanfu, with the order to set off, a huge lantern rose one after another, and there was a huge triangular thing under the lantern, which was the Jizhou Flying Squadron. The light of the burning fire is so conspicuous at night that many people can see it. However, due to the distance, the scenes seen everywhere are different, for example, Zhu Jun only saw a small point of light, the size of the tip of an embroidery needle, so Zhu Jun didn't take things to heart, while Guo Jia saw a disc of light, seeing this, Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded, and the lord was really prepared.
When the Kong Ming lantern rose to a sufficient height, the gliding delta wing was put down, and the gliding delta wing shook irregularly in the air a few times, and then began to rush downward, and when the speed was increased to a certain point, it suddenly increased upward, at this time the squadron leader Liu Yang began to speak: "Flying at night, the speed can be appropriately slowed down." ”
The delta wing was flying in the air, and the surrounding airflow made Liu Yang's words quite small, but the surrounding pilots still barely understood, the air situation in the night flight was unknown, and it was really necessary to slow down. These pilots can train at least a dozen foot soldiers, and even if they lose one, it will make Liu Yang sad for a while.
The delta wing continued to fly, and the target was directly aimed at Lao Zhu's battalion, in addition, as Liu Yang's temporary commander, Xu Chu also set off with his subordinates dressed up like a ghost, as for the target, it was naturally Lao Zhu's battalion. Dressed like ghosts, no one could detect them under the cover of night, and the men were more agile than the wildcats.
Counting the fact that Zhu Jun's camp is really getting more and more lively tonight, there are three guests coming at a glance, and one of them is actually flying in the sky, which is really shocking.
Zhu Jun took people to attack the camp, and he was already prepared for nine deaths, but at the critical moment, he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, so Zhu Jun, who was walking in the front, suddenly slowed down, and the Han army that followed Zhu Jun out could only slow down. All of a sudden, Zhu Junjun's marching speed was about the same as a snail, and Zhu Junjun's army was less than ten miles away from the Jizhou army.
"Dispersed, everyone moved forward in concealment, and immediately retreated one mile to the camp in Jizhou." Zhu Jun instructed the two lieutenants beside him, although the two lieutenants didn't understand why their own generals were so troublesome, but out of the habit of soldiers, they still let them faithfully carry out Zhu Jun's orders.
Soon Zhu Jun's 10,000 army was divided into three routes, and then continued to advance quietly, but Zhu Jun didn't know that his small actions had already been sent to Guo Jia's desk, and the most important thing on this small barren plain was the investigators of the Jizhou Army.
Zhu Jun changed his strategy, but Guo Jia was still not in a hurry, Zhu Jun only had 10,000 people in his hands, and no matter how much he tossed, he would not toss any tricks. Zhu Jun divided the troops into three routes, just to shrink the action team and then facilitate the escape. It seems that Zhu Jun is planning to go back to outflank the night raid team from Jizhou.
Zhu Jun himself can think of a night attack, so why can't Liu Ke and the so-called "ghost talent" Guo Jia think of these? Therefore, Zhu Jun changed his strategy at this time, and the purpose of dividing the army into three ways was to make Guo Jia unable to distinguish what he was going to do.
"Haha, Zhu Jun'er is really funny, even if he goes back with these 10,000 people, what can he do? There are some things that you can't understand, but alas, the limelight tonight isn't for the First Legion. Guo Jia couldn't help but sigh secretly in the main account, but it looked heartless.
At this time, Liu Yang was not clear about the things on the ground, he only knew that the flying squadron was about to come to the sky above Zhu Jun's camp, Liu Yang seemed to have seen that the jumping flames in Zhu Jun's camp were prepared to welcome them, since the master was so hospitable, Liu Yang felt that he had to perform well and not let down the enthusiasm of the master.
He took the time to make a gesture with his right hand to the delta wing beside him, and then the entire flight squadron began to slow down to prepare for the battle, and all the pilots grabbed the gliding delta wing with one hand, and took out the fire fold with the other hand, which automatically ignited without the pilot blowing it.
