Chapter 399 surprise attack
Hills
After resting at noon, these whistles were not covered with armor and their weapons were placed on one side.
In Daxu, or in any dynasty or army, the cavalry and whistle are elite troops of each battalion and are treated relatively generously. If a person dies, he will be rewarded with his descendants. The only thing is that it is difficult to be promoted because of his professionalism. Who will be promoted to do this job?
"No, if smoke and dust are rising there, there must be a large army. Go and check it." The sergeant led several riders to check it thirty miles away. At this time, when he looked away, he saw smoke and dust, threw away dry food, and immediately stood up and said.
"Yes." Several riders ran away with caution, and the horse's four hooves were wrapped in cloth strips to avoid being alarmed.
I saw a large group of imperial troops marching, mostly infantry, but there were whistle cavalry patrolling. From a distance, there were tens of thousands of people.
While exploring, Chief Tu shouted in a low voice: "Stop."
Everyone stopped and tiptoed to look. They saw that there were only about one hundred meters away, and there were whistle riders coming, about ten riders, most of which were paper armor with copper nails. One of them was leather armor, but they were wearing court flags. Everyone took a breath of air conditioning.
"Go back and report the news."
The responsibility of the cavalry whistle is not to fight, but to report information. This situation is obviously because the army has arrived. Not to mention whether it can be killed or not, even if it has been killed, if there is any movement, it will immediately encircle and suppress it.
The group of people pulled the horse back, but unfortunately, they called out.
"Caval?" The whistle cavalry opposite immediately noticed.
"It's the scout of the thief camp." The man in the middle looked murderous intent: "Kill it, you can't let it go."
"yes!"
The cavalrymen drew their swords and rushed forward, while the Marquis of Jibei rushed forward, pulled the reins and fled.
Big account
"Duke, the imperial army has arrived. The scouts sent a message to the marquis. There were tens of thousands of people. They buried pots and made rice and fireworks soared into the sky. They must be the main force of the court." The Marquis of Jibei was reading the case file, and someone urgently reported it.
"What? Come?" Jibei Hou stood up and walked a few steps in the tent, with a solemn look and a little melancholy. After asking about the specific situation, he had not spoken for a while. After a long time, he sighed and sat down, saying, "It seems that the bluff cannot scare Pei Ziyun, and the imperial army is still here."
Shen Zhi said: "Duke, may we avoid it for the time being? Pei Ziyun is still thirty miles away, and it is time for us to evacuate. Otherwise, we might be in a situation of attacking both sides. Although our morale is a little boosted, it is water without a source!"
Hearing this, the Marquis of Jibei walked a few steps and sighed: "It's too late, I can't retreat anymore. The army slowly came, but it didn't hurry up. He was forcing me to fight to the decisive battle, but I still had to fight to the decisive battle."
"Our army is now enthroned by King Lu, and our army is very strong. Although it is a virtual fire, it is still useful, and there is sufficient food and grass, so we can fight."
"If we retreat, our morale will suddenly fall and it will be difficult to recover. Besides, our army has lost three counties. If we retreat to the city of Zhou, the court army will be calmly mobilized and concentrated. The two counties outside cannot resist at all. Although the city of Zhou has become an isolated city, how long can we guard?"
"If you want to fight, then you will fight!" At this time, the Marquis of Jibei pulled out his long sword and inserted it on the table. The handle of the knife kept trembling on the table: "Thirty miles is a day. If you send orders, you will kill cattle, sheep and pigs tonight. The whole army will have a full meal, replenish their energy, and prepare for a big battle."
"Yes, Duke." Shen Zhi heard this and said loudly.
Camping a big tent
The sky was gloomy, dark clouds were covered with wind, and the leaves and weeds were trembling.
"Real person, it's raining." Chen Yong stood at Pei Ziyun's tent, looked at the sky and said, "In the future, it may be difficult to fight within a few days."
Normally, few troops fought in the rain, which is no joke. In ancient times, lack of medical treatment and being wet in the rain could lead to typhoid fever and die of typhoid fever.
Pei Ziyun came out of the big tent. When he saw that the fruit was cloudy, the sparse raindrops had fallen. He looked at the sky and laughed: "This rain really came in time."
"Hey, why do real people say that?" Chen Yong asked.
Pei Ziyun raised his head, looked at the dark clouds in the sky, and laughed: "I'll prepare for today after capturing Qibei City, it seems that it's going to come in handy."
"Boom" A sudden lightning flash fell from the sky, cutting through the sky. As the words were heard, the rain was already heavy, and the surrounding camps were making noise.
"Call the cavalry camp, I will attack Jibei Hou's camp tonight." Pei Ziyun said coldly.
"Real person, are the one thousand cavalry a little arrogant? Even if you want to go, please go as soon as possible?" Chen Yong quickly stopped him and said.
Pei Ziyun laughed: "I just reported that I had contacted the thief's cavalry and whistle, but I have always been doing my battalion step by step. The Marquis of Jibei must not have expected me to attack. Of course, there must be normal battalion defense. But my plan was that it could not have thought that it was only forty miles now, so I set off immediately. You can follow me overnight. If the Marquis of Jibei does not retreat, it will be dead. Okay, you can make arrangements immediately, without further ado."
Listening to Pei Ziyun's words, Chen Yong was confused, but did not refute and turned around to answer his order.
night
"boom"
The heavy rain poured down. Pei Ziyun followed several Taoist priests, and even Taoist priests surrounded by guards. The rain fell and hit the straw raincoat. The group of people ran overnight.
"A real person, if you run overnight and attack, the scout of Jibei will soon discover it." The captain followed him with concern.
"It's too late to go back when I know it." Pei Ziyun said, and the rain crackled down, and several people suddenly burst out, with agile figures, and went forward to salute: "See the leader."
"How is the situation?"
"According to the command of the leader, all the harps on this road have been cleared, and no one will notice it within at least one hour."
"Take me to the temple, this is the spiritual talisman I set up on that day." Pei Ziyun took out a talisman and threw it over: "Proofread it."
Several people took out the order talismans and put them together. They saw the light of inspiration and checked them correctly. They said, "I'll take you there immediately."
After running for several miles, I saw an abandoned temple, with dilapidated and broken bricks and tiles. The only strange thing was that there was a mound of soil around the temple.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a passage inside, and everyone present was surprised.
"Real person, is this?" the captain was stunned and asked in surprise.
Pei Ziyun said, "This is my secret order to dig that day. During the war, both armies monitored the people underground. They will find out if they dig, but if they dig in advance, the Marquis of Jibei will not know."
"This is my killer move, but it's just preparation in advance. It's just this area that is suitable for camping outside the city. It's okay for the Marquis of Jibei to withdraw, but it can be left behind, which gives me a chance."
"Come in, go in."
