There was no cold in the spring night, the bright moon was in the sky, and the insects were chirping. What a wonderful scenery. However, the Kangguo soldiers who were ambushing by the Pinghe River were not in the mood to appreciate the bright moon above them. Even if someone looked up to see it, their eyes were filled with tears.
A look of disgust. As the saying goes, the dark moon kills people on a night, and the wind is high and sets people on fire. Going for a sneak attack under such a bright moon will not make Zhao people laugh to death, and there is no wind at all. It is simply killing people and setting fires at the same time.
.
Chi Sheng stared straight at the other side of the river. The cold moonlight made everything shine brightly, but he couldn't see anything clearly. The generals around him noticed that the general's eyes were stagnant and empty, which was enough.
He didn't move for a whole meal. It was expected that he was not observing something but thinking about something. These people have been fighting with him for many years. This is the first time they have seen the general in such a daze before the war. Every one of them is stunned.
Worrying about the battle across the river will make the soldiers more courageous. If the general loses his fighting spirit, you can imagine the mentality of his subordinates.
When the moon passed the zenith, several small schools crossing the river to investigate reported back one after another, but found nothing strange on the other side.
The confidant sent by Tongleng to supervise the army came to Chi Sheng and urged: "The time has come. Why hasn't General Chi given the order to cross the river?"
Chi Sheng glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Have you ever fought in a war?"
The man was just a gangster in the market before, and he was entrusted with the important task only because he was an acquaintance with Tong Leng. Chi Sheng's question undoubtedly sounded very useless to him. He curled his lips and said, "Chi Sheng doesn't need to do this.
Your Excellency, I only know that General Tong’s military order is to cross the river in the middle of the night. Anyone who disobeys the order will delay the military aircraft!"
Chi Sheng looked at him coldly and said: "Commanders before a battle must assess the situation. Wouldn't it be a joke if we followed the established strategy to conduct a sneak attack tonight when the moon is bright? Is it any different from risking death?"
"You mean... to disobey orders!" The man said the last few words in a higher tone, "Don't forget, this sneak attack is not a matter of one of your troops, there may be another group of troops upstream.
We have already crossed the river, if you disobey, General Tong’s brilliant plan will be ruined in your hands, can you bear the responsibility?"
"Brilliant plan, hum, how can a brilliant plan not be accompanied by contingency measures? If General Tong is really good at using troops, even if he is not proficient in astronomy and cannot calculate the brightness of the moon and the darkness of the moon, he should have told us what to do before sending the general.
What should I do on a moonlit night?" There was sarcasm in Chi Sheng's tone.
"You..., hum! You can't guess General Tong's clever plan. General Tong may have already calculated that tonight will be a bright moon. With such a moonlight, Zhao Jun must think that we will not attack sneakily, so he must be on guard.
If you relax, our army will succeed!"
Chi Sheng smiled contemptuously and said: "If the military advisor planned this, I, Chi, would not hesitate at all..." As soon as he said this, a deputy general next to him pulled his shirt hard, and Chi Sheng snorted angrily.
After a sigh, he said no more.
"Sir..., you see..." The lieutenant general who just pulled Chisheng's shirt saw that this stalemate was not an option and looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Chi Sheng closed his eyes and his chest heaved violently. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a low voice: "Cross the river!"
Except for one thousand of the 15,000-strong army who stayed behind, the rest began to cross the river nervously and orderly through the five pontoon bridges erected. The section of the Pinghe River here was only more than ten feet wide. It didn't take long for the army to cross most of it, and Chi Sheng was full.
He glanced meaningfully at Hua Zhen beside him, nodded to Mu Long, and then strode towards the pontoon. When he realized that the supervisor was about to follow him across the river, he snorted and said, "You don't have to go,
We can't afford any mistakes. If the sneak attack is successful, you can follow the army across the river."
The supervisor was eager to stay and said quickly: "That's fine, then I wish General Chi success."
Chi Sheng didn't even bother to look at him and quickly stepped onto the pontoon.
Hua Zhen watched the large group of people disappear behind a forest, and his heart became high. When he turned to look at Mu Long, he saw his brows furrowed and his eyes staring at the other side with a heavy look on his face. Hua Zhen
He was not familiar with him. Since Chi Sheng said that he was not on good terms with him, it was not appropriate for him to say anything to him at the moment. Thinking of this, he silently walked to a big tree and sat on the mat laid out by the soldiers.
He stood down and looked into the distance while thinking about his thoughts.
Less than half an hour later, a burst of war drums came from far away. In this silent night, the drums were heard very clearly even though they were far away. Hua Zhen's heart tightened suddenly, and he jumped up from the ground like needles.
His face turned pale immediately, because based on time calculation, it was impossible for the army to arrive at Jinghe City where they were about to attack so quickly, so the sound of war drums undoubtedly announced that they were ambushed halfway. General Chi had indeed guessed it!
The sound of war drums made everyone nervous. These are elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time. They could all think of what Hua Zhen thought of. The supervisor had returned to the camp to rest. At this moment, he ran over in a panic, confused.
He asked Mu Long: "This drum sound...this drum sound is General Chi attacking Jinghe City?" The highest-ranking official here is Hua Zhen, but he doesn't take this young boy seriously at all, so
Ask Mulong directly.
A look of pain appeared on Mu Long's face. He clenched his teeth and stared at the direction from which the war drum came, without looking at him at all.
The supervisor wanted to have a fit, but when he saw Mu Long's ferocious expression, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He walked to Hua Zhen and wanted to ask, but when he saw his immature face, he felt that it was too embarrassing to ask such a child for advice.
, so he shut his mouth.
At this time, the sound of the drums had joined together from the initial point. Huazhen's heart beat violently with the sound of the drums, and he shouted: "Send someone to investigate quickly!"
Mu Long walked over with heavy steps and replied: "We have been sent out. The chances are high."
Hua Zhen swallowed and looked at him without speaking.
Mu Long turned to his subordinates and ordered: "Strengthen the sentry, send more people to patrol along the river, beware of Zhao Jun coming over!"
"What?! How could Zhao Jun..." Supervisor Jun had an unbelievable expression on his face.
"Master Chi has probably been ambushed. Huh, sir, I have long said that sneak attacks are not a good idea, but you just couldn't listen. Now you believe it!" Mu Long stared at him fiercely and questioned sternly. Under the moonlight, it was like a
A beast that only chooses people to devour.
The supervisor was confused. He didn't understand why Mu Long concluded that Chi Sheng and the others were ambushed just by hearing the sound of drums. It was obvious that everyone was glaring at him. Obviously, everyone had the same judgment as Mu Long. In this case, he was even less interested.
Dare to ask questions, if they knew that the supervisor knew nothing about marching and fighting, it would not only be embarrassing, but also possible loss of life in public anger, so he had to say perfunctorily: "This... this... at this moment
It's useless to say more, everything will be clear when the detective report comes back."
The sent detectives have not yet returned, but the alarm sentry of Chi Sheng's army has escaped. The so-called alarm sentry is a kind of sentinel dragged several miles behind the large army. They do not wear military uniforms but dress like ordinary people. Their duties are not only to detect the army.
Apart from whether there is any abnormal situation in the rear, the most important function is to escape and report when the army is ambushed. Because most of these sentinels convey bad news, they are also called evil sentries. Those who can serve as alarm sentries are not ordinary soldiers.
, First of all, one must have experienced hundreds of battles and be able to quickly and accurately judge the fighting situation. Secondly, one must become familiar with the generals of all parties. This can save the trouble of verifying identity and avoid being impersonated by the enemy. Some even
At times, the generals stationed at the rear will assign their cronies to act as sentinels for the army at the front.
Jingshao Pegasus, who had escaped back, shouted before he reached the river: "Oh no, we've been ambushed! The army has been ambushed!"
