"Do you know why you missed him?"
Zheng Quchi seemed to be asking, but in fact he just raised a question and answered it accordingly.
"First, because he never thought about escaping. Once he had the idea of escape, if he moved, the arrow would change accordingly, and the safety line I originally drew for him would no longer exist."
"Secondly, the moment each arrow is shot, its direction and shooting distance are determined, and it is impossible for it to deviate midway. In this way, it is equivalent to locking on us and we are also locked on If it is like this, why can’t we turn it around?”
She only explained two sentences. The first sentence contained a warning and a reminder - if you don't act according to my plan and run away in fear, if something goes wrong then you won't be able to blame me.
The explanation of the second sentence is to appease their worries. On the battlefield, whoever gets the upper hand first can dominate the scene. The strength lies not in powerful instruments, but in people.
They were gradually moved by Zheng Quchi's words, actions and strategies, and gained some confidence. However, the concerns in their hearts still existed: "It's different. The three-bow bed crossbows of Julu Kingdom are so fast and powerful. We are afraid... …”
Zheng Quchi knew that if she didn't give them a thorough explanation today, they would definitely not be willing to go to the battlefield and use her as bait. If they regretted it at the moment, it would ruin her big event.
"As long as the distance between the battle lines is lengthened, the speed of the arrows is controllable. Their crossbows are easily immovable, but we can move within a controllable range at any time. Furthermore, I will pull out a line of defense for you in advance. Maybe it can protect you from the piercing power of arrows and crossbows."
Recalling that she had asked them to jump into the ditch before, it turned out that it was because of this incident. Someone asked: "So, you limit the maximum distance we can move to near the ditch?"
On the battlefield, there is nothing that is not risky or dangerous. They know this matter well, but if it is a fatal outcome, no one is willing to accept it.
"Yes, you have to use the moving position I designed for you, keep walking, and attract the shooting range of the Julu Army's three-bow bed crossbow. If you move, the shooting direction of the opponent's bed crossbow will definitely move, even to close in. They will shoot and advance, forcing you to retreat to the trench. At that time, you will need to pretend to be provoked and choose to charge, leading them to shoot arrows at you."
Just hearing this piece of design made people's hearts tremble. They really didn't expect that what Zheng Quchi asked them to do was so dangerous.
"Then, what if we jumped a step too late?"
"In five seconds, their effective range is 400 meters to 500 meters, which is about 500 to 700 steps. As long as you keep the distance between you and them at about 600 steps, the three crossbows will be able to fire from launch to strike. To hit you, you need at least five numbers.”
Zheng Quchi raised a palm: "Remember, one..."
"two……"
"three……"
"Four……"
"five……"
She read five numbers according to the seconds, one second at a time, and then asked: "After reading these five numbers, will it be enough for you to turn around and jump into the ditch?"
They fell silent.
If they count as slowly as she does now, it will naturally be enough. But if they face a real battlefield, it will test their psychological quality. Once they are stunned for a second or two because of fear, or if they accidentally do something small, It's not necessarily a mistake or a small accident.
As if he knew what they were thinking, Zheng Quchi said: "I don't have to waste so much time explaining this to you. I just need to trick you into standing on the battlefield to attract the attention of the Julu Army. The purpose of this is I want to protect the Ye army, but I also want to protect you, but you have to understand one thing—"
"This is a battlefield. Life and death are a matter of a moment. No general can guarantee on the battlefield that the soldiers who follow him can return home undead. What he can do is to plan carefully, act meticulously, and do everything possible. A major mistake has occurred.”
"Your life is always in your own hands."
Are their lives in their own hands...?
These five hundred people were the first group Zheng Quchi put up, and they were also the most active and most eager to survive, so Zheng Quchi was confident that he could convince them.
And as she expected, in the end, they might have been persuaded by her, or they might have been forced to believe her by reality.
As she said, if she really regarded them as cannon fodder, why would she come here to explain such a big thing to them?
Just use sharp blades and spears to force the unarmed people onto the battlefield, and then stand there as targets for the Julu Kingdom. If they don't accept their fate and want to run away in panic, they will be shot by the Julu Kingdom as Ye soldiers. This is their tragic end.
Moreover, entering the battlefield must be accompanied by certain risks. They were defeated and captured. If his army had won, the commander would have ordered the massacre of all Ye troops to avoid future troubles.
But Ye's army has only killed one person so far.
Zheng Quchi was not a murderous person.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you."
"Me too."
"I agree too."
One after another, the soldiers all agreed. Since there is no way forward and there is a cliff behind, let's take a gamble.
Finally, the plan for tomorrow has been finalized.
Zheng Quchi warned them again: "Remember the time when I silently recited the five numbers just now. When launching the crossbow in Julu Kingdom, you must ensure that you can immediately jump back into the trench within these five numbers, so your station The position must be accurate, and there should be no delay in any number.”
——
Zheng Quchi arranged everything when the rain stopped and before dawn. It rained all night, and a layer of white fog accumulated around the lake, making it difficult for people to see the scenery around the lake.
All the Nanchen Army and Hongsheng Army who were willing to cooperate with Ye Jun were brought up together. Before coming up, Ye Jun had already warned them about the current situation and their situation. As soon as they reunited with the five hundred people, they After some exchanges, we clearly understood what kind of task we would face next.
It's natural to have dissatisfaction in your heart, but not many. Anyone who has escaped from death with a little brain understands the truth that everything has a price.
They were asked to put on uniforms of Ye Army soldiers and pretend to be Ye Army soldiers on standby.
The real Ye army put on their soldier uniforms, which was equivalent to the two sides exchanging identities. When they looked at each other, they both felt a subtle emotion - discomfort.
On this side, Zheng Quchi rubbed her swollen forehead. She had been busy all night arranging, arranging, and finalizing plans. She was young, and although her body could still bear it, her spirit was a little tired.
This was simply more tiring than her staying up late to catch up on the design draft.
"Adjutant Zheng, why did you lie to them just now, saying that we wore their army's armor to attack the Julu Kingdom?" Liu Chaiji was tormented by this question all night, and took advantage of his free time to sneak over to her to clarify his doubts.
Zheng Quchi was sitting in the tent, closing his eyes and concentrating. When he asked him like a curious child, he replied without opening his eyes: "Silly, how could they give up if you don't say this?"
Liu Chaiji understood. He hesitated for a moment, but continued to ask: "...Then what you said to Nan Chenjun and Hong Shengjun were also false?"
Zheng Quchi suddenly opened his eyes and was speechless: "How is that possible? Some lies can be told, but some lies cannot."
Liu Chaiji asked smoothly: "For example?"
Zheng Quchi's eyes fell into the void and he said calmly: "Like human life."
Human life.
He really didn't expect that she would say this.
Staring at Zheng Quchi's graceful and full profile, it seemed that he suddenly understood the exhaustion and solemnity in her expression at this moment, not only because of the battle that was to come, but also because of the killing and death that would inevitably result.
Liu Chaiji has never officially been on the battlefield. Although he longs for the battlefield, this time he participated in the Six Nations Trial. Although it was not a large-scale battlefield, he had a deep understanding of the ruthlessness and ruthlessness of the battlefield.
With his current immature abilities and combat adaptability, he simply cannot cope with it.
"Adjutant Zheng, do you think His Royal Highness can come back in time?" he asked suddenly.
It's hard to say whether he can make it back in time. After all, the scout who came back to report the news said that he encountered Xize, the victorious army. Yuan Xingzhou left most of his troops to defend her, and he even gave her a hand before leaving. After analyzing the situation of each army, she could get into the state as soon as possible.
It can be said that her current ability to strategize and attack, as well as her knowledge of marching and war preparations, were all taught by him bit by bit.
Although the time was too rushed, she would not be able to transform from a novice to a master of combat command, but with him leading the way and her running behind looking at the light, plus she used her own abilities, she was able to Come to now.
But as she said to Hong Shengjun and Nan Chenjun, the first person's life is always in their own hands. Even if you can't help it, don't give up easily.
"Whether he comes back in time or not, we have to fight this battle. It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. God will save him who saves himself."
Hearing her speak so righteously and fearlessly, Liu Chaiji blurted out: "Adjutant Zheng, aren't you afraid?"
Just after he asked, he felt that what he asked was nonsense, and quickly added: "Actually, as a grown man, I think fighting with the Julu Army is very scary. I used to think that going to the battlefield is a very enjoyable thing. You can go into battle." Kill the enemy and protect the country, but now I know that this is not a pleasant thing in itself."
If you want to chat, you really need to find someone with the same thoughts. Zheng Quchi has a common person's thoughts, so he can naturally be on the same channel as Liu Chaiji.
Not so with Yu Wensheng, Yuan Xingzhou and others.
I guess in the former case, if you say you are afraid of fighting, bloodshed and sacrifice, he will be very perverted and say that killing enemies is a very pleasurable and enjoyable thing.
For the latter, you said that you are timid and afraid of death and don't want to kill people. He said that you will get used to it with more practice. After all, as an assassin, he once killed many people, so he thought that everyone could despise and be indifferent to life like him. human nature.
At this moment, she met a similar person who also needed to be relieved because of fear and nervousness. She felt that talking to someone before the war could be a way to relax.
"Actually, I know your brother Liu Fengmian. You look nothing like him, but you two brothers are similar in one thing, and that's true." Zheng Quchi suddenly said.
Because Liu Fengmian was a good friend of Yu Wensheng, he considered her a younger sibling and took care of her when he was not very familiar with her. This was sincerity.
Liu Chaiji was arrogant and arrogant at first, but once he recognized her, even if she asked him to stand there and be shot by arrows, he would not move a step. This is also sincerity.
"Adjutant Zheng, do you know my second brother?"
It suddenly dawned on Liu Chaiji that it was no wonder that when even Wang Feichen and the general looked down on him, she recognized him at a glance, ignored his bad temper, insisted on cultivating him, teaching him, and even helping him to become a school captain...
"Of course I'm different from him. How can he be real? He's obviously just pretending. I'm the real one. I'm the most real. I'm the real one." Liu Chaiji kept muttering uncomfortably.
Zheng Quchi had sharp ears and listened to everything. She laughed: "It's because you are so unpretentious that your intestines go all the way to the end."
Liu Chaiji looked directly at her unconvinced, frowned and asked, "Do you admire his kind of weakling?"
Zheng Quchi: "..." Hey, hey, your description is too vicious. Does he still remember that that person is your brother?
"Forget it, don't mention him anymore. Adjutant Zheng, don't worry. When the fight breaks out later, I will protect you, absolutely!" Liu Chai Ji Zheng'er Bajing promised.
Zheng Quchi helped the newly put on douchi, put on a suit of armor, equipped with weapons, and armed himself from head to toe: "Protect yourself, after all, you haven't fulfilled the promise I promised to be a captain, so you just stopped here." It’s such a pity here.”
"So, we have to win, and we have to survive together."
——
On the other side of the Julu Kingdom, She Kou waited outside the Ye camp all night and waited all night. When he saw that the rain had stopped a little, heavy fog had appeared by the lake, and his vision was blocked again. He said it was bad luck.
In order to prevent the Ye army from escaping, they stayed completely awake. Although it was dawn, it was actually a gloomy and rainy weather, which was not suitable for launching a general attack.
However, this kind of unsuitability is aimed at enemy troops at the same level. A young woman like Zheng Quchi does not need to be so cautious.
"General, it's already dawn, when will we launch an attack on Ye Camp?" Mu Jin came over and asked.
He had been anxious all night, but when he saw the light of day, he was unwilling to wait for another second. He urgently wanted to rush into the Ye camp and find out the whereabouts of his missing Nanchen Army, whether they were alive or dead.
Indeed, things cannot be delayed any longer.
"Let the soldiers prepare quickly!"
As soon as She Kou finished issuing the order, he saw a scout rushing back.
"Report - there is enemy information. A large number of troops have appeared in the direction of Bailu Lake. It is suspected that the Ye army is outflanking our army."
Upon hearing this, She Kou and Mu Jin looked at each other, their eyes filled with absurdity and amusement.
"You said Ye's army surrounded our army?"
Seeing that the general did not believe it, the scout immediately vowed: "This is absolutely true."
"Then can you find out how many troops the opponent has?" Mu Jin asked.
The scout replied uncertainly: "The fog is lingering by the lake, so I can't take a close look at it, but the number of people is definitely quite large. It should be no less than 3,000 people."
"There are only three or four thousand miscellaneous soldiers in his Ye camp, and this time almost all of them came out. It seems that Zheng Quchi is anxious?" A trace of proud and cheerful ridicule flashed in She Kou's eyes. (End of chapter)
