At the foot of Linhe City, Zhuge Ke stood on the city wall with his helmet on and fully armed, staring at the quiet military camp outside the city. He would begin to harass Wei Ba in order to prepare for Dai Liang's arrival. He wanted to get there before Dai Liang's arrival.
Wei Ba was so exhausted that he couldn't figure out what was true and what was true.
The city gate opened with a rumble, and two hundred death squads rushed out of the city gate, holding shields and waving swords and rushing towards the camp in the distance. Zhuge Ke was very nervous. He didn't know what would happen if these two hundred people rushed out.
He didn't even know how many of the two hundred people would come back. But he believed that as long as the tactical purpose could be achieved, the sacrifice of these people would be worth it. In order to buy some time for Dai Liang, defend Linhe and defeat Wei Ba,
It doesn't matter how many people died.
Sun Quan said at the time that the purpose of sending him to the front line was to let him fight Wei Ba, increase his knowledge, use Wei Ba as a whetstone, and polish him into a sharp sword. If you want to become a famous general, you must first
You must have a ruthless heart.
Compassion does not command troops.
Therefore, what he was worried about was not the life and death of the death squads, but whether Wei Ba would take advantage of the situation and attack the city.
The death squads rushed into the camp, but did not encounter the expected resistance. There was silence in the camp. Zhuge Ke became more and more nervous, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and he held his breath involuntarily. He always felt that the next
There will be a thunderous counterattack, and these two hundred people will die without a burial place.
Just when Zhuge Ke was hesitant to order the city gate to be closed, the death squads rushed into the camp. The camp was still silent. There was no counterattack at all. These people were like a stone in the sea, without arousing any reaction. Zhuge Ke became more and more angry
He became nervous and sweat broke out on his forehead. At this moment, a soldier ran out of the camp. Zhuge Ke raised his heart and leaned forward involuntarily, as if this way he could know the news earlier.
"Sir, the camp is empty, there is no one."
"What?" Zhuge Ke was shocked. How could there be no one in the camp? After a long period of tension, Zhuge Ke felt an indescribable emptiness, and then felt extremely angry. He was humiliated by Wei Ba, and Wei Ba
An empty camp scared him so that he didn't dare to leave the city. He didn't even know when Wei Ba left and where he went?
Zhuge Ke became angry with shame and his face was burning. It felt like he had received a big slap in the face.
The death squads who broke into the camp retreated, confirming the soldier's statement. The camp was empty and there was no one inside. Judging from various signs, they should have left a day ago.
Zhuge Ke pondered for a long time, and suddenly thought of a terrible possibility. He turned around suddenly and looked to the south: that was the direction from which the reinforcements were coming.
Is Wei Ba going to ambush the reinforcements? Dai Liang came all the way and is already a tired army. If he encounters an ambush, he will suffer heavy losses. But he has 10,000 people, so he can hold out for a while even if he is ambushed. Wei Ba's total
However, it is not easy to ambush 10,000 people with 6,000 people. The battle situation can easily enter a stalemate, or even reverse.
Zhuge Ke immediately gave the order and set off immediately to receive reinforcements.
Zhuge Ke left a thousand men to guard the city. He led two thousand men out of the city. He walked very carefully and sent the scouts fifty miles away for fear of being ambushed by Wei Ba. He was like a frightened rabbit, every step he took
Have to look back.
The scouts quickly discovered the traces of Wei Ba. Wei Ba walked in a hurry and did not have much time to hide the traces. After confirming that Wei Ba was going to ambush the reinforcements, Zhuge Ke was both excited and nervous. If Wei Ba and Dai Liang were entangled
.His appearance will change the situation of the battle. However, the danger is also very high. If Wei Ba does not ambush the reinforcements, but lures him out of the city, he will have no chance of winning and can only escape in embarrassment, and may even lose his life.
Between gains and losses, Zhuge Ke weighed it again and again, but the desire to make achievements still overwhelmed his fear. He decided to pursue it.
…
Dai Liang slowly wiped his sword, one after another. He wiped it very carefully and carefully, as if he was stroking his lover's skin. His eyes were cold and without any emotion. He thought about the head-on confrontation with Wei Ba tomorrow.
, he was a little bit excited, and his cold eyes showed a crazy light from time to time.
Wei Ba was his enemy, a sworn enemy. Wei Ba not only killed Lu Dai and his son, but also his biological brother Dai Wei. When he received the news of Dai Wei's death, he vowed to kill Wei Ba.
Ba, to avenge his younger brother. He had been waiting for Wei Ba to enter Jiaozhou so that he could have a chance to kill Wei Ba. Now the opportunity finally came. Wei Ba entered Yulin regardless of life and death, and now he also entered Linhe, trying to occupy the entire
Jiaozhou. This is not only an attack on Wu State, but also a disregard for Dai Liang.
Wei Ba will definitely pay the price for this, Dai Liang swore.
The light flickered and the sword was bright. Dai Liang looked at his sword meticulously in the light. He was going to use it to cut off Wei Bao's head tomorrow, how could he be careless?
The general of the scout camp suddenly rushed in, looking nervous.
"What's the matter?" Dai Liang asked unhappily.
"Sir, the scouts we sent to the front haven't come back yet. There seems to be something unusual going on up front."
Dai Liang frowned, feeling a little uneasy. He also felt something strange. Zhuge Ke had not sent him a message so far. According to the habit of the past few days, he would receive a message from Zhuge Ke every night.
Intelligence informed him of the situation outside Linhe City. Although there was a time difference of about two days, it allowed him to know some situations in advance so that he could make corresponding analysis and not be completely ignorant of Wei Ba's situation. Logically speaking,
He should have received the latest information now, but the expected information did not come.
Could it be that there was an accident? Was Zhuge Ke defeated, or Wei Ba left, or did he come to fight him? In an instant, several possibilities came to Dai Liang's mind, and he hesitated. After careful analysis, he felt that
The last possibility is very small, but it cannot be ignored. The disappearance of a scout is often a sign of a change, and he cannot take it lightly.
"Let everyone be prepared and have a good rest. We may be facing a battle tomorrow."
"Here." The general responded loudly, but did not walk away. He looked at Dai Liang carefully: "Sir, may we encounter an attack?"
Dai Liang shook his head: "This place is too far from Linhe. I don't think Wei Ba would walk such a long mountain road to meet me. Even if he knew he deserved to die, he wouldn't be so proactive." He sneered: "If he dares to come,
, that would be better.”
The general breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked out. Dai Liang's brows furrowed even more tightly. He just said those words to comfort his subordinates, so as not to disturb the morale of the troops. It was not that he thought there was no danger. The army came all the way from Panyu.
Soldiers are very tired. They need a good rest before they can go to the battlefield with energy. If you are too nervous and cannot relax, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose of rest.
Dai Liang had no choice but to do this. During this period of time, the reputation of the divine general has spread throughout Jiaozhou. Lu Dai and his son died in battle one after another, and the pass was missed, all of which are unbelievable results. This makes people feel that this
God generals are omnipotent and invincible. Everyone has fear of mysterious things, especially ordinary soldiers who have not read books. They are more afraid of God generals. Knowing that they are going to fight Wei Ba, they feel nervous.
It has spread among the army, and coupled with the fatigue caused by the rapid march, if they were told that there was a possibility of enemy attack, they might not be able to sleep.
It's the lesser of two evils. Dai Liang would rather trust his instincts and take a little risk, or let his soldiers have a good rest.
The order had been issued, but Dai Liang could not calm down. Zhuge Ke's information did not come, and the scouts did not come back in time. These all indicated that there was a possibility of being attacked, and he could not take it lightly. But analyzing from all aspects, he felt that this
The possibility is very small. This place is more than a hundred miles away from Linhe. According to the information Zhuge Ke sent before, Wei Ba was still under Linhe City two days ago. If he wanted to get here, he would have to arrive in two days.
He had to walk more than a hundred miles of mountain roads within a short period of time. Although his men were all barbarians who were good at walking on mountain roads, it was very difficult for even barbarians to complete such a rapid march. When they got here, they would definitely be exhausted and unable to start.
What's the point of attacking? There is a saying in the art of war: if you want to make a profit for a hundred miles, you must defeat the general. Marching a hundred miles in the mountains is far more difficult than on the plains. It is impossible for Wei Ba to not understand these common sense. As a man, he
It is impossible for an invincible general to make such a stupid decision.
Although Dai Liang hated Wei Ba, he never underestimated Wei Ba. Underestimating the enemy was an unforgivable mistake. He believed that Wei Ba would not do this. Despite this, Dai Liang still ordered a warning to avoid being attacked by the enemy. Compared to Ye
Dai Liang is even more worried about tomorrow's march. Tomorrow he will pass through Guiling, which is a mountain road that is very suitable for an ambush. If Wei Ba wants to attack him, he should be here.
Dai Liang thought about it. He sent out another group of scouts to make sure that the area around Guiling was safe. After making all arrangements, Dai Liang drank a little wine and fell asleep. Since he learned that his brother died in Xuefeng Mountain
Camp, he suffered from the stubborn disease of insomnia. Without drinking some wine every day, he could not fall asleep and tossed and turned until dawn. There would be a battle tomorrow, and he needed a good sleep to recharge his energy. He hoped to kill Wei Ba.
After avenging his brother, he was able to sleep peacefully.
…
Wei Ba looked at the corpses of several Wu Jun scouts on the ground and was very unhappy. He once ordered the barbarian scouts to avoid Wu Jun's scouts as much as possible to avoid alerting the enemy. But these barbarians became red-eyed when they saw Wu Jun. Not only did they
Instead of avoiding it, he rushed forward and killed all the Wu army scouts.
Wei Ba raised his head, glared at the barbarians who thought they had made great achievements, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who do you think Dai Liang is? He is a warrior who has followed Lu Dai for many years. The scout has disappeared, and he can't even do this
He was not even alert. Guiling is a dangerous place, so he would be unprepared? If he was prepared and sent scouts, would you still be able to kill them all? The more scouts die, the more dangerous the situation is.
If he doesn't reveal his flaws, how can we attack 10,000 of us with 5,000 people?"
The barbarians lowered their heads, looked at their toes, and said nothing.
