Zhang Shuye and Cheng Wanli were sitting quietly in the Chinese army tent with their eyes closed. They bowed their heads. Zhang Bofen, Zhang Shuye, Zhu Chaofeng, Luan Tingyu, Zhu Long and Zhu Biao were all sitting quietly. Qinbei Pavilion
No one spoke, but everyone was sitting upright, with weapons beside them, as if they were ready.
"Mr. Magistrate, can thieves really attack the camp?"
An officer looked at Cheng Wanli and asked.
"Thieves are cunning and will definitely come."
Cheng Wanli nodded, and then no one spoke.
In the official formation, the soldiers did not rest. Although they were tired from the days of traveling, the military order had been issued and the enemy would attack tonight, so the soldiers could only brace themselves and persevere.
"Military advisor, this group of people is really alert."
Brothers Ma Yi and Ma Jin pointed to the brightly lit enemy camp and said to Wen Huanzhang.
The camps of the two armies were only five miles apart. Tonight, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the moon and stars were obscured. Only the firelight in the camps of the two armies was particularly conspicuous in this world.
"Let's have a good rest and let them wait."
Wen Huanzhang smiled and stroked his short beard. The officers and soldiers thought they were going to attack at night, but in fact Sun Lei was not prepared to attack at night. The melee at night and the obstruction of sight had a great impact on the recruits. Sun Lei was not allowed to do this kind of thing. Will do it.
"Hey, let's have a good rest and let them be scared."
Ma Jin said with a smile.
Early the next morning, everyone in the army camp looked exhausted. They had been so nervous that they had not slept all night, but nothing had happened. As soon as day broke, the soldiers could no longer bear it and collapsed one by one. Sitting on the ground not wanting to move.
"kill!"
The moment the sun rose, there were loud shouts of killing.
Guiying, Fengtai, Li Yan, Yuan Lang, Teng Kan, Teng Shun, Ma Tie, Ma Jin, Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun led groups of soldiers to rush out of the military camp and headed towards the official army to kill them. Come.
The tired and sleepy officers and soldiers were in a panic at this moment, but at the moment of life and death, each one still put up a strong mental defense.
"Is that what you think?"
Zhang Shuye sighed as he listened to the shouts outside. Sun Lei had been silent all night, and now he took action at dawn, obviously waiting for them to be exhausted before taking action.
"The thief is here, what should we do? Kill him and get out?"
Zhu Biao quickly looked at Zhu Chaofengdao.
"No, the soldiers are tired. If we go to war now, we will lose!"
Zhang Bofen opened his mouth and said, he had not slept all night, and now the soldiers' combat effectiveness was low. If he went out at this time, he would die.
"The thieves are cunning and use falsehoods to deceive others. I think we will stick to the camp today and rest for a day."
Zhang Boxiong said, the thief had a rest last night and was in good spirits at this time, so they had to avoid his sharp edge.
"Go down with the order, stick to the camp, don't go out, everyone will rest in batches."
Cheng Wanli ordered.
Outside the camp, the shouts of killing continued, but groups of soldiers were only practicing around the camp and had no intention of attacking by force.
"They are besieged but not attacked again, these cunning thieves!"
On the high platform, Zhu Long was so angry that he gritted his teeth when he saw the other party's movements. Isn't this the way to beat them at Zhujiazhuang a few days ago.
"The thief is training his troops!"
Zhang Shuye could tell at a glance that the enemy had no intention of attacking by force, and the soldiers continued to drill around their camp under the command of the general.
"It's really like military training!"
Zhang Bofen opened his mouth and said that he also saw the enemy's intention.
"Damn, that's too much!"
Zhang Boxiong gritted his teeth in anger. The thieves simply didn't take them seriously and were training in front of the battle. How arrogant this was.
"Father, I will lead people to destroy these arrogant thieves!"
Zhang Boxiong couldn't help it any longer. He was determined to let the Liangshan thieves know how powerful he was.
"Look, Sun Lei has brought someone out!"
Someone pointed at the team slowly leaving the camp in the distance. Sun Lei was riding a horse at the front.
"Sun Lei doesn't give us a chance to take action!"
Zhang Shuye frowned and said.
"Becoming more and more proficient!"
Sun Lei laughed and looked at the soldiers training around the army camp. After several battles, these soldiers became more and more elite.
"Brother, I really admire you. I never thought I could train in front of the army."
Li Assistant smiled and cupped his fists at Sun Lei.
"It's just a local army. If it were Tokyo's elite imperial army, I would never dare to do this."
Sun Lei smiled and looked at Wang Jin next to him.
"Brother, most of the soldiers are local warriors. They lack training and are not strong in combat effectiveness. At most, they can defeat some local bandits. But the forbidden army is different. It is a regular army and a standing army of the Song Dynasty. Although military discipline has become more and more lax in recent years, its combat effectiveness has been decreasing year by year. , but still has some combat power.”
Wang Jin opened his mouth and said that although the Song Dynasty emphasized culture and suppressed military force, it only suppressed the rights of generals, and it still valued the army very much.
During the period of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the number of forbidden troops was as high as about 200,000. Later, due to the increasing number of wars in the north, by the period of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, there were almost 800,000 people, and there are still 500,000 or 600,000 today.
The strongest combat power of the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army was naturally during the period of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. The 200,000 people were all elites. Today's Forbidden Army is not as good as before, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how bad the Forbidden Army is, they are regular soldiers, not ordinary people. To deal with.
"Brother, it won't take long for our Liangshan army to completely surpass the Forbidden Army!"
Wang Jin looked at Sun Lei again and said, Liangshan's army has strict military discipline, Sun Lei has the appearance of a wise leader, and the leader of the village is also a chivalrous man. In time, Liangshan's army will definitely be the most powerful in the world.
"Haha, then I have to rely more on you brothers!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, but he was unsure. Today, Liangshan only has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, dozens of leaders, and hundreds of thousands of people living by the lake. It is naturally easy to manage, and there is no corruption or sycophancy. People in the entrepreneurial stage There is also less selfishness.
But what about the future? If we start to look at the world, in the future there will be an army of hundreds of thousands, millions of people, hundreds of brothers, and tens of thousands of officials, what will it be like? The bigger the plate, the harder it is to manage. It may be better than the Song Dynasty, but how much better can it be?
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely help you with all my strength!"
Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, Li Zhu, and Wang Jin saw the worry on Sun Lei's face. They were all quick-thinking people, and they also guessed a few things, so they raised their hands and said solemnly.
"That's all for later. After practicing for a long time, it's almost time to start!"
Sun Lei laughed and said, the enemy stayed up all night last night and was frightened for a long time today. At this time, morale is low and the morale of the army is low. It is a good time to attack.
"The horn sounds!"
Wang Jin roared, and a group of soldiers blew the horns they had prepared.
Woo hoo hoo, the sound of the horn spread across the battlefield, and the momentum of the relatively calm battlefield suddenly changed. The murderous atmosphere instantly rose, and the soldiers' eyes became cold and ferocious.
"coming!"
Zhang Shuye said in a low voice.
"What's coming?"
Cheng Wanli didn't understand. The thieves were training.
"The enemy's military training is not entirely true. They deliberately use this to paralyze us. When we relax our vigilance, they will attack us instantly and catch us by surprise."
Zhang Shuye said.
"The thief...the thief is so...cunning!"
Cheng Wanli didn't know what to say at this time. What kind of gangster was this? These eight hundred arrogant people were just like veterans of the battlefield.
