Invincible Chapter 86
"Don't mention it?" Song Xin seemed puzzled when he heard Wei Tong's instruction.
Wei Tong reminded in a low voice: "There are enemy spies among our people, and I'm afraid there are also school officials from our side. If they know that you met Zhang Fei, and they accuse you of collaborating with the enemy before the battle, you will have
It’s hard to explain.”
Only then did Song Xin realize how serious a problem this was. If it was true, he couldn't explain it clearly with all his words. Moreover, Wei Xuan and Song Chou must also be looking for their own mistakes through various means.
Wei Tong found his close aides and issued an order, "Tell the soldiers that half of them will sleep first tonight and the other half will defend. They will switch in the second half of the night."
The entire battalion became nervous. Especially the new recruits, who were so nervous that they even forgot where to stand guard.
The situation Wei Tong faced was that if he knew the enemy's location, it wouldn't be so scary. But now that the enemy is hidden and we are clear, this is the most terrifying thing. Maybe the enemy has discovered him and is peeping at him somewhere, and he
But completely unaware.
The opponent he has to face is no ordinary person, but Zhang Fei.
At the same time, on a hillside a few miles away from Wei Tong's camp, a general stood on the top of the hillside with his helmet pierced and looking into the distance. None of his soldiers raised their flags, and squatted quietly at the bottom of the hillside behind him.
, all the horses have been blindfolded with black cloth and their hooves wrapped.
At this time, a scout came galloping from a distance.
"Report to the general, Cao Jun's camp was suddenly brightly lit, and people were noisy and horses were neighing. They seemed to be preparing for something. My subordinates wanted to get closer for reconnaissance. At this time, several teams of scouts rushed out of the camp and inquired in different directions. The subordinates did not dare to approach and hurriedly
Come back and inform the general."
"Can you clearly see the flag of this Cao army?"
"The big flag in the camp has the word 'Wei' written on it."
"'Wei', that must be Wei Ziming, great! He dared to break into my camp with three cavalry before. Today I will teach him that I don't just break into my camp casually."
Zhang Fei tilted his head and asked the lieutenant: "Is there any news from Chang Yun?"
"Report to General, I just received a letter from General Guan." The deputy general handed over a letter.
"Well, General Guan wrote a letter saying that Man Chong, Le Jin, and Xu Huang each ordered thousands of troops to march to Hanjinkou. I'm afraid they have discovered that this is a place for our army to replenish food and fodder, and asked me to stop Wenpin."
Zhang Fei read the letter and said to the generals.
"Now Wenpin is confronting the Soochow Army in Jiangxia. It should be that there are not enough troops to go and surround Yunchang with Man Chong and a few people. With thousands of people, it will be difficult for me to intercept Wenpin. I will eat this group of people.
But it’s more than enough.”
"Then destroy this army first!" A deputy general next to him was very excited. According to the report of the horse inspection, Wei Tong's army was not strong in combat effectiveness. There were few horses and they were all new soldiers.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't be anxious. This army is already meat in the cauldron. It needs to be stewed for a while before it can be eaten. We must continue to inquire whether there are any backup troops in this army. Continue to send out sentries to search. If any enemies are found,
Army, report immediately. No delay."
"General, in return for our detailed work in Xiangyang, Cao Chun has a thousand tigers and leopards riding behind, about a day's journey from this army."
"Well, one day's journey is not a big deal, it's enough for me to eat this group of people."
If Song Xin were present at this time, he would definitely recognize this person as the famous general Zhang Yide who he met just now by the Mian River. As Wei Tong expected, Zhang Fei's scouts discovered the rutted horseshoes of Wei Tong's army, and then
Following the trail, Wei Tong's camp was finally discovered.
At this time, the two armies were exposed and the situation was very unfavorable to Wei Tong. What was even more unfavorable was that the 1,500 men led by Wei Tong were not elite soldiers.

They are soldiers who have just been recruited. Although there are still some veterans among them, they may not be enough to see in front of Zhang Fei's elite soldiers.
And Zhang Fei, a battle-hardened general, could see Wei Tong's weaknesses from the messy footprints even without the need for investigation.
Zhang Fei's soldiers are all his comrades who have fought with him for many years, and their number is nearly a thousand more than Wei Tong. Wei Tong will definitely not be able to withstand such a fight. He is like a shrewd wolf king, leading his men
A pack of wolves, following a herd of deer.
"Since they have sensed the danger, let them be frightened tonight. Well, it is indeed smart. It seems that my identity has been recognized. No wonder you were able to catch Lu Junqin, but I am not stupid or reckless.
generation."
Zhang Fei changed his mind. Originally, he planned to raid the enemy army late at night. But what he wanted now was that the enemy army was tired and he would attack again tomorrow. If Wei Tong's subordinates stayed up all night and stared nervously around, they would definitely be exhausted tomorrow.
At that time it will be his chance to eat this Cao Jun.
"Order the soldiers to rest on the spot. The attack is canceled tonight." Zhang Fei ordered.
"Come closer, four of you." He pointed at his four lieutenants and whispered a few words to them. Then they nodded and led their troops to disperse.
Song Xin returned to his camp and called the three corps commanders to tell them that there might be an enemy attack tonight.
Although the three corps commanders listened, they didn't take it seriously. Seeing the nervous looks of the recruits around them, they even sneered.
"What, is the news accurate?" Zhang Hu asked.
"Yes, this place is still within the sphere of influence of our army. How can there be enemies? I have never experienced war, so don't be nervous." Zhou Zhong said, his tone sounded like a veteran giving a lesson to a new recruit.
of.
Song Xin knew that they were taking the opportunity to confront him again, and said coldly: "This is the captain's military order. Do you still want to disobey the order? Don't you know what the crime of disobedience is?"
The corps commander Liu Mu came out to smooth things over and said, "Hey, you two, please stop talking. If our chief calls for military justice, I think you have a few heads that are worthy of being chopped off."
Zhang Hu was still a little unconvinced and said: "I have been in the military for many years. I will know if the enemy army will come by smelling it."
Zhou Zhong also muttered in a low voice: "Yes, brothers have been away all day and can't sleep at night, how can we still fight?"
Zhang Hu immediately said: "The news is not even sure. The scouts have gone out several times and haven't even found a trace of the enemy."
Song Xin knew the virtues of these veteran Youzi and did not want to argue with them anymore. His face sank and he asked: "Execute the military order, otherwise it will be treated as disobedience!"
Zhang Hu, Zhou Zhong, and Liu Mu smiled slyly, "How dare you? If we don't sleep, we will definitely be watching the enemy."
Song Xin glanced at them and walked out of the tent without saying anything.
Zhang Hu cursed behind his back: "Young boy, you know nothing about fighting. If the enemy comes, you will wet your pants!"
Zhou Zhongdao: "Let's see if what he says is true. If the enemy doesn't come, we will ask him to argue."
Song Xin heard this clearly and was a little worried about the bad behavior of these people. How could he decide by himself whether the enemy army would come or not.
Late at night, the soldiers in Cao's camp looked nervously at the darkness around them, but even if they lit many torches, they still could not block the darkness around them. Fear and nervousness were like the mouth of a giant beast, which would swallow up these weak lights at any time.
Half of the soldiers were keeping vigil. They looked around with wide eyes and felt the vibrations on the ground with their feet. They were afraid that they would shout to the police if there was any movement. Many people fell down and wheezed because of mental stress and exhaustion.

He fell into a deep sleep, but was immediately kicked awake by the patrolling officer.
Zhang Hu and the other three corps commanders simply found a corner and fell asleep. They left a few people to watch, not to see the enemy, but to see if Song Xin came to inspect.
However, the strange thing is that Wei Tong's army waited all night, but the enemy did not come.
When Wei Tong inspected the camp in the early morning, he found that everyone looked tired. They had walked all day, but they only slept for half the night. They were highly nervous at night. At this time, everyone had a pair of panda eyes on their faces.
He felt something bad at this moment.
He felt uneasy, a kind of uneasiness caused by being played by the enemy between applause.
Wei Tong also began to wonder, if the enemy was nearby, why didn't he attack last night? Or maybe the enemy was not nearby at all, and his intelligence was wrong? Or... this was because the enemy was waiting for him to tire out.
time, and then a sudden attack?
Wei Tong didn't dare to think about it anymore. If this was the case, then now would be the time when his soldiers were most exhausted. Then it was very likely that Zhang Fei's attack was close...
When the army put away the tents and baggage, Wei Tong ordered that the baggage should be at the back and his troops in the front. He had a vague feeling that Zhang Fei's troops should be somewhere to the north of him.
"Brother Wei, everything seemed to be calm last night. Could it be that I mistakenly identified the other person as Zhang Yide?" Song Xin felt strange why he was not attacked last night. He walked up to Wei Tong, feeling a little ashamed.
"Brother Xian, according to your description, this person should be Zhang Fei without a doubt. It's just that he didn't attack last night. I guess he discovered that our army was on alert, and then waited for our army to be tired before attacking," Wei Tong said.
Song Xin glanced around and saw tired looks on the faces of the busy soldiers around him. He said, "Our army looks very tired now. How should we deal with it if Zhang Fei comes at this time?"
"The current plan is to gather the soldiers together. If the enemy's situation is unknown, our army cannot advance in long lines. If the enemy breaks through the middle of the line and makes me unable to see each other, and then divides and encircles them, these soldiers will all be cut down.
It's a ghost." Wei Tong said as he looked at these tired soldiers.
"Herald, order the soldiers to divide into the front, middle and rear teams in each of the three songs. Each song has five teams, moving forward slowly. Two hundred crossbowmen should be placed among the infantry. If there is an enemy situation, they should immediately move to the front row to prevent chaos.
The arrow shoots back."
"No!" the herald ordered to go down and rectify the team.
Wei Tong made the team move forward slowly. Everyone was very nervous.
It should have been a blessing that the enemy didn't come, but Zhang Hu and the others were extremely proud.
Zhang Hu walked up to Song Xin who was packing his things and asked deliberately: "Sir, why didn't the enemy come?"
Song Xin knew that they were here to humiliate him, so he asked angrily without even raising his head: "Do you want them to come?"
Zhou Zhong deliberately yawned and said: "Fortunately, we have had enough sleep. Look at the recruits, all of them look like they are sick. If this really happens, I'm afraid no one will survive."
Liu Mu pointed at Sang Huai and said, "Yes, Captain Wei is such an amazing person. I don't know why he is so timid this time. Is he perhaps listening to someone's self-righteous slander?"
Song Xin knew that there was no point in arguing with them, "Okay, go pack up and set off!"
Several corps commanders looked at each other, smiled, and snorted contemptuously.
Not long after walking, suddenly, a military commander suddenly shouted:
"General, there is enemy situation on the east side!!!"
