Chapter 82: Du Tan's Decision
"General, shall we wait?"
Du Tan turned his head to look at Liu Dong with some confusion and asked, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”
Liu Dong hesitated a little, he always had a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and the closer he got to the camp of the Jin army, the stronger this feeling became.
This kind of intuitive warning is certainly not unfounded.
"General, Guan Cheng's most accustomed thing is to lure the enemy and ambush, tonight he is abnormal, I'm afraid there is fraud in this battalion."
Du Tan nodded and said: "What His Highness said is not unreasonable, but the spies reported that His Highness also heard it, Guan Cheng found his long-lost sister, and now the whole camp is celebrating." ”
"Celebration also knows the time clearly, isn't it, this juncture is he celebrating? Even if he runs to Liang Kingdom, this son can understand. ”
"Maybe it's a suspicious tactic, General Du."
Du Tan said: "His Royal Highness said that the general has also thought about it, and the worst result is that Guan Cheng arranged an ambush in the camp, but how many soldiers can he fight?" Three hundred? Five hundred? According to the scale of the Jin army, he only killed more than 500 people, but how many soldiers can there be and how many armor there are. ”
"This time, Ben brought 1,500 people, all of whom are elite armor soldiers, and there is absolutely no problem in leveling him with hundreds of old and weak soldiers."
Du Tan turned his head to Liu Dong and said: "Your Highness, whether it is a strategy or a strange soldier, it is all for winning the battle, and all changes are just to weaken the enemy and strengthen themselves, but if there is too much difference, no matter how much strategy there is, it is just a struggle, and the general should be decisive." ”
After listening to Liu Dong's long bow, he said: "What the general said is enlightened, so Dong has been taught." ”
Seeing this, Du Tan also waved his hand and said: "The son can have such a mind, and it is also my golden blessing to be willing to listen to people." It will be enough for the son to have a few more experiences on this battlefield, and then the tiger will be in the hands of the world. ”
Du Tan's words can be said to be serious in Liu Dong's heart, and his face was slightly happy.
There is no man who holds power to overlook the world.
Du Tan was full of confidence with his own strength, and in fact, it was indeed as he expected, that Guan Cheng had only more than 300 capable soldiers in his hands, and even if he counted the horsemen and coachmen, there were less than 700.
Looking at the 1,500 elite soldiers behind him, who were tired but still had high morale after a night's trek, Du Tan was full of confidence.
He didn't believe that this prince, who grew up in the deep palace, could create miracles again and again.
Destiny is in pass?
Du Tan shook his head in disdain.
That's just a rhetoric to the head of Qian, and a few of the generals like himself have believed it.
If the Mandate of Heaven is really in Yong'an City, then why should the world have such a scuffle now, the holy decrees in Yong'an City have become mascots, if the Mandate of Heaven is really in Yong'an City, then he and almost all the princes in the world will have to die, and it is the kind of nine clans that are all punished.
Throwing away some unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Du Tan stared at the camp of the Jin army, the long sword in his hand was a little cold, but Du Tan's heart was extremely hot.
You must know that it is the prince, or the former prince, if you can capture it, it will definitely move the world, this world has been in turmoil for a long time, and you have heard who has taken down a prince.
The more Du Tan thought about it, the more excited he became, he could not take the royal family seriously, but this kind of reputation was indeed enough to make him tempted.
The sky and the moon are still bright, but it is not far from dawn, and we can't wait any longer.
Du Tan's heart was horizontal, and his big hand swung forward, and the cold light of the tip of the sword continued to flicker in the direction of the Jin army camp, like a spitting snake letter, full of bloodthirsty restlessness.
The heavens also seemed to be extremely cooperative, and after a while, the originally weakened wind became violent again, blowing the branches of the forest and muffling a lot of sounds.
The wind at night was somewhat cold, and the Jin soldiers at the gate of the camp couldn't help but shrink their necks, rubbing their hands that were a little frozen, and the torches next to them were throwing in the wind, but the movement in the camp was much smaller.
Du Tan and the others quickly touched the front, and they could barely hear the snoring in the wind.
Liu Dong's expression was slightly happy, it seems that the Jin army is really big enough, and he dares to be so lax in such a situation.
"Back to Sima, the brothers are all in place." A company commander whispered over and whispered.
"Pass the order, wait for Ben Sima's signal to start again, only succeed, not fail!"
"Commanded by humility."
Looking at the retreating back of the company commander, Liu Dong asked puzzledly: "General Du, time is running out, should we do it earlier?" ”
Du Tan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait!" ”
"But it's almost dawn!" Liu Dong was a little anxious and said: "If it is dawn, the opportunity will be lost, and the soldiers are already very tired from running all night." ”
After hearing this, Du Tan also knew that what Liu Dong said was reasonable, but after a moment of silence, he turned his head and asked, "Childe, are you uneasy in your heart?" ”
Liu Dong chuckled in his heart, his face changed suddenly, and it was obvious that Du Tan had said something on his mind.
"General Mo Fei Du also feels this way?"
Du Tan nodded slightly and said softly: "Don't hide it, I will have a feeling of being targeted, and my whole back is cold." ”
"Although Yan Tao is arrogant, the soldiers he leads are indeed the strongest among my five armies."
"And that Tang Qiu, although it is despicable, it is undeniable that Tang Qiu is thoughtful and cunning. In Yan Tao's left army, this B-word combat power should not be underestimated. ”
"But now Yan Tao's left army has been defeated one after another, and the loss has exceeded 5,000 people, and even Tang Qiu has lost his head."
"Don't be careful."
Liu Dong also felt very reasonable when he heard it, but he felt that his mother-in-law and mother were the ones who said that they would drop ten times with one force, and it was you who said that the other party was not easy to mess with.
To fight or not?
Seeing that Liu Dong didn't reply, Du Tan was also a little embarrassed, and continued: "I think maybe I can send a group of men and horses to assault first, and see the reaction of the Jin army before making plans." ”
"General, this son remembers that you said that the lion fights the rabbit with all your strength, but now the big war is about to be the main general, but you have a comfortable heart? If this is the case, if you don't return to the camp and make plans again, anyway, the Jin army will definitely pass through the Liang Rejection Post, where Gao Yuan has already gone. ”
Du Tan's old face turned red, but it was well covered up by the night, and he knew that this was to make Liu Dong, the son-in-law, dissatisfied.
There was some hesitation for a moment.
"General Du, you have been famous for a long time, and you are the old general in my Dajin army, how can you not know the greatest reason for hesitation in the harm of using soldiers?" Speaking of this, Liu Dong's voice already had a hint of coldness in it.
He suddenly had some doubts that this Du Tan was not in vain, and he had actually begun to retreat when he arrived here.
I also have the anxiety in my heart, but where there is no risk in fighting, can I do nothing if I have doubts?
Du Tan took a deep breath, and it seemed that this decision was extremely difficult.
"My lord, the brothers are ready, how long will it be?"
This time it was Deng Li who came back.
It's a signal of urging.
The soldiers are eager to make meritorious contributions, otherwise the mountain roads of more than ten or twenty miles at night are touched just to blow the wind?
What are you kidding, the first level is not enough to score.
This time, the people and horses brought out by Du Tan were mainly the A-word brigade, with thousands of people and five companies, and it involved the reward promised by the prince himself, so Deng Li was very concerned about this, and he wanted to take a head to increase his face.
Even if you can't be promoted, you can still earn some credit and earn some industrial land.
It's just that the more the wind blows, the more restless he feels in his heart, so he waits for Sima to give an order.
But Sima, who was decisive in killing on weekdays, did not move.
Deng Li was a little anxious, and the people below were also anxious.
Once the will of the army is unified, it is difficult for even the commander of the army to forcefully disobey it.
Du Tan took a deep breath and looked back, no one knew what he could see in the moonlit night.
Liu Dong followed his gaze and looked over, as if he saw the invincible army, the golden banner and the willow banner flying high on Yong'an City.
"Passing the book will order!"
Solemnly, Liu Dong and the others pressed their hands on the hilt of the sword, and they couldn't help but breathe heavily in Du Tan's low cheers.
"Kill!"
Deng Li, Liu Dong and the others nodded heavily, and waved their big hands forward, and a wave of dominoes that were like falling to the ground opened one after another.
A good archer stretched out his bow and aimed at the target in front of him, and the taut bowstring gradually became full of the moon, and with a low cry let out a trembling hum.
In the cold night wind, the sound of bows and arrows leaving the strings seemed so insignificant.
But it is in this insignificance that hides the hideousness and whispers of death.
There are not many soldiers on duty at the gate of the Jin army camp, but there are only six or seven people, the wind blows the torches and extinguishes the brightness, the sky is about to brighten, the soldiers on duty continue to yawn, stomp their feet from time to time, and no one cares about the fire that has weakened anymore.
The vigilance of the soldiers has obviously dropped dramatically, and the most suitable time for a surprise attack has passed, and no one would think that the golden soldiers would launch a surprise attack stupidly.
Unless Jin Bing is really looking for death.
The entire Jin army camp is about to wake up from its slumber.
The track commander who led the team was bored and kicked his subordinates who were about to fall asleep.
The awakened soldier did not have fear on his face, but laughed and scratched the back of his head.
The track commander naturally wants to teach a few lessons, but it's just the kind that doesn't hurt.
It's about to change the guard, and it's always the right thing to do.
It's just that the look on the face of the soldier who has not yet had time to wake up has not changed, but there is already horror in his eyes.
Then there was a sharp pain in his body.
The soldier looked down, the tail feathers of the arrows on his chest were still trembling, and there were a few muffled grunts nearby, and the sound of arrows nailing into the wood would be together and immediately dissipate with the wind.
In front of him, the track commander, who had been born and died together, and regarded him as his younger brother, had eyes that seemed to pop out, and his mouth was open but he couldn't make a sound.
With his hands clutched around his neck, an arrow had pierced through it, and the blood-dripping arrow was the last thing to see.
The track commander fell to the ground unwillingly, and the soldier seemed to have lost all his strength to support him.
A dense sound of footsteps gradually became clear from far and near.
It's an enemy attack!
It was the last thought in his mind.
Countless legs and leather boots in dilated pupils.
