"Damn it!" In the big tent of Sun Wu Military Camp, Pan Zhang smashed a low table to pieces with an angry face, but he still looked confused and resentful. When he looked up, the whole big tent was in chaos.
There was nothing left to vent his anger in the mess. No wonder Pan Zhang was so angry. With their nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, they went to attack Lujiang City where the Western Qin Army was stationed with less than 5,000 troops. However, they were defeated three times in a row.
There was no result after all the days. I originally thought that the enemy had fallen into an ambush and the war would be over soon, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long! You know, when Pan Zhang went to battle that day, he was in front of Generals Sun and Wu.
In front of him, Pan Zhang had promised his lord by patting his chest, but now Pan Zhang had lost all his face!
"General Pan!" At this moment, as Pan Zhang's deputy, Ling Tong walked in quickly. Seeing the mess in the tent, Ling Tong was stunned, but he soon returned to normal.
In the past few days, he had become accustomed to Pan Zhang's behavior. Immediately, Ling Tong pretended not to see the situation in the tent, clasped his fists at Pan Zhang and shouted: "General! Today's casualties of our army have been counted.
Thirty-nine soldiers were killed by the fire under the city wall, and 107 were burned!"
Except for being caught off guard by the Western Qin army on the first day, in the following days, the Wu army was on guard against the opponent's attack when attacking, so the losses were not very big. But this is not the most important issue, although the losses were not huge.
Although it was large, the enemy would burn the newly made ladder every time. Every day's attacks were in vain. This was what really troubled Pan Zhang.
After listening to Ling Tong's report, Pan Zhang waved his hand to signal Ling Tong to leave, but Ling Tong did not move. He asked Pan Zhang: "General Pan! Our army's deployment order has not been issued tonight?" Marching
In war, the emphasis is on orders and prohibitions. Every move of the army must be subject to the military orders of the general. This is not only reflected on the battlefield, but also in any affairs of the army, such as the degree of defense of the army after dark.
By the command of the commander-in-chief.
Pan Zhang was already very annoyed at this moment. Normally, Pan Zhang could be said to be very calm, but he had a fatal certainty, that is, he lacked patience. Once the war reached a stalemate, Pan Zhang's temper would become very irritable.
, this is probably why Pan Zhang cannot be as famous as Bu Zhi and the others. After hearing Ling Tong's question, Pan Zhang waved his hand impatiently and shouted: "Don't ask me about this matter, you can figure it out yourself.
Do it!”
Pan Zhang's attitude was already obvious. Ling Tong did not dare to stay here anymore and ask for trouble. Ling Tong immediately withdrew from the tent. Several lieutenants in the army were guarding outside the tent. Pan Zhang
They had been in a bad mood for a few days, and they all knew very well that Ling Tong was deeply trusted by their lord, so there was no need to be afraid of Pan Zhang, but they did not dare to provoke Pan Zhang at this time, so they simply let Ling Tong be their representative. See
Ling Tong came out, and the lieutenants hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "General Ling! How are you doing? What do you want General Pan to do?"
Ling Tong shrugged and said helplessly: "General Pan is in a bad mood and did not specifically issue a night ban. Anyway, nothing will happen. Just take care of it yourself!" Ling Tong simply ordered Pan
After Zhang relayed his words, he ignored the lieutenants and walked straight towards his camp. He was the one responsible for supervising the battle today. He was tired all day long, and Ling Tong also needed more rest.
After entering his tent, Ling Tong simply lay down on his couch and fell asleep. But as soon as he lay down, Ling Tong felt a pain in his back. When he turned over, he found that his couch
It turned out that there was something else on the bed. He fell down just now, but he didn't see it. He lifted the quilt, and when Ling Tong saw the thing, he was stunned. The thing on the couch turned out to be something.
The spear had a broken shaft. Looking at the broken spear, Ling Tong's eyes immediately turned red.
This broken spear was the weapon of Ling Tong's father, Ling Cao. Ling Cao died tragically on the outskirts of Xin County that day, and his head was cut off, but Ling Cao's weapon remained in place. Later, there were several
Wu Jun, who escaped, picked up the broken spear and sent it back to Shouchun, whereupon it returned to Ling Tong's hands. After getting the broken spear, Ling Tong carried it with him every day. He wanted to use it
This broken gun always reminds him not to forget the revenge of killing his father. Looking at this broken gun, Ling Tong gritted his teeth and groaned: "Jiang Qin! If I, Ling Tong, don't kill you, I will be a son of man in vain!"
Originally, Ling Tong was already very tired, but when he saw the broken gun and thought of his father's tragic death but that he could not avenge his father, the sleepiness in his head had long since disappeared. Since he couldn't sleep, Ling Tong simply put away the broken gun in his hand.
Okay, let’s start sorting out the military affairs. Although there were not many casualties in the army in the past two days, there are still many military affairs that need to be handled. Now that Pan Zhang is angry, these military affairs will naturally be handed over to Ling Tong, who is the deputy general.
. However, Ling Tong grew up in the army with his father since he was a child, and he handled these military affairs very well. In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and all the military affairs that were piled up like a mountain were completed.
After finishing the military affairs, Ling Tong also felt a little tired. He stretched out and the joints in his back immediately crackled. Shaking his neck, Ling Tong habitually opened his mouth to call someone, but he quickly responded.
Come here, it's already late at night, and all his own soldiers are probably asleep. With a wry smile, Ling Tong simply packed up the military scrolls on the low table, stretched out again, and that's it.
He fell on the couch and slept with his clothes on, but this time Ling Tong held the broken gun directly in his arms.
"Ah——!" Just when Ling Tong closed his eyes and was about to rest, a shrill scream suddenly came from outside. The scream sounded in the silent night, and it was very scary! Ling Tong's
His eyes opened suddenly, and he immediately sat up and looked outside the tent.
"What happened? Come here! Come here!" Although he still didn't know what happened outside, the scream alone was enough to make Ling Tong feel that something was wrong. Ling Tong shouted while
He rushed out of the tent in one stride. But when Ling Tong just rushed out of the tent and looked outside, he was stunned!
I saw that the entrance of the military camp, which was originally dark, was now filled with flames. The black figure was rushing in frantically from the entrance of the military camp. Ling Tong was stunned for a moment, and he immediately knew what had happened: the enemy was attacking
Camp!
This incident was completely unexpected by Ling Tong. Originally, he saw that the Western Qin Army was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and was only relying on fire tactics to barely defend Lujiang City. He expected that the Western Qin Army would definitely not be so courageous and would dare to go out of the city to attack the camp!
Therefore, after Ling Tong asked Pan Zhang for instructions, he didn't explain much and didn't take the night ban seriously. But no one expected that the Western Qin Army would be so bold!
Seeing this situation, Ling Tong hurriedly shouted to the Wu soldiers who were panicking and running around: "Quick! Quick! Form a formation to meet the enemy! Quick!" In the end, Ling Tong couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped out of the camp.
He took back his spear and rushed towards the entrance of the military camp with the spear in hand! Obviously Ling Tong planned to use his own strength to stop the enemy from attacking the camp!
I have to say that Ling Tong’s decision was very correct! Although Wu Jun had an advantage in terms of military strength, the camp was suddenly attacked. Wu Jun was unable to organize a defensive formation for a while. In addition, it was attacked several times by the enemy. Now it is
They became frightened birds and fled in all directions, unable to think of fighting back. The appearance of Ling Tong at this time gave the Wu army soldiers a backbone in their minds. Those Wu army soldiers who saw Ling Tong's appearance also began to slowly
Calm down, follow Ling Tong, and together with Ling Tong resist the enemies coming to attack the camp!
"Humph! Good luck to you!" A cold shout rang out. Ling Tong took a closer look. Directly at the entrance of the military camp, among the Western Qin troops who came to attack the camp, only one of them was riding a war horse and holding a weapon in his hand.
It was a single sword with a huge handle. However, because the light of the fire was too strong, Ling Tong could not see his appearance clearly. The man waved his single sword and shouted to the soldiers of the Western Qin Army on the left and right: "Brothers
! We have killed enough tonight! Retreat!" After saying that, he turned his horse's head and galloped straight towards Lujiang City, and the officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Army also began to retreat from the military camp like a tide.
Ling Tong was filled with anger for allowing the other party to come and go freely like this. However, for safety reasons, Ling Tong did not dare to chase after him with his troops. He could only look at the other party's retreating figure with an ugly face, filled with hatred.
Gritting teeth.
Soon, the Western Qin army that came to attack the camp had completely retreated, leaving only the burning tents and corpses on the ground. Most of those corpses were soldiers from Wu County, and only a few of them were from the camp just before.
The officers and soldiers of the Western Qin Army came to attack the camp. There was a wailing sound in the entire military camp. Ling Tong couldn't believe his eyes. After so much effort, the entire military camp completely changed.
"Gongzhi! What happened?" At this time, Pan Zhang also came from behind in a state of embarrassment. Judging from his appearance, although his armor was draped on his body, it was open and his helmet was worn crookedly.
At first glance, you can tell that he just got up from the couch. Seeing Pan Zhang's appearance, Ling Tong was also secretly glad. If he hadn't made an impromptu decision and ran to sort out military affairs, I'm afraid he would be no different from Pan Zhang now.
Well! If that happens, I'm afraid the entire military camp will be burned to the ground by the Western Qin army that comes to attack the camp!
Seeing the appearance of the entire military camp, Pan Zhang immediately guessed the reason, and shouted angrily: "Asshole! This is too much! Come here! Order your troops and horses with me, and vow to attack Lujiang City."
OK!"
"General Pan! Don't be impulsive!" Hearing Pan Zhang's words, Ling Tong was also startled and hurriedly advised: "General Pan! Since the enemy dared to attack the camp and retreated so easily, it means there must be some
Ambush! General, please don’t fall into the opponent’s trick!”
