It is getting late and turning into night.
In the darkness, no more than two miles away, the two armies faced each other, and no one could easily pull out the other.
In front of the camps of the two armies, the lights were on, and several high lookout posts were posted, taking care of all directions.
However, Lin Zhijing still refused to give up. During the day, he imitated the shrew and cursed the streets, but at night, he got some surrender troops and kept shouting the name of the familiar Northern Army leader, which made the soldiers of the Northern Army feel uneasy and found it difficult to sleep peacefully.
At the end of Xu Shi, I suddenly heard a low and plaintive bamboo flute playing. I don't know what kind of music it was playing, but it made people feel sad and restless.
"Damn it, these thieves are so cunning!"
Ma Song had the most bad temper. If it hadn't been dark, he would have wanted to rush out.
"The person who came here is not good, he is really a powerful enemy!"
Ma Jun should calm down. Doesn't he know these tricks? However, there is no good way to deal with it for the time being.
…
At midnight, somewhere three miles away from Ma Jun's camp, a raging fire suddenly broke out.
"General, general, no, it's not good!"
Ma Jun, who had just closed his eyes, was woken up again by the sergeant.
"Why are you so alarmed!?"
Ma Jun sat up suddenly and asked sternly.
"Yes, there is fire!"
The person who came was obviously very frightened and could not tell the whole story.
Ma Jun frowned, there was a fire, it was not a big deal.
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly!"
In this way, the sergeant slowly calmed down.
It turned out that the place where they stored food and grass might have been burned down.
"Grandma, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Ma Jun was so angry that he stood up and slapped the sergeant until he rolled several times.
Now, I can't sleep anymore.
The urgent gong sounded, and the generals of each battalion quickly rushed to the Chinese army's tent to meet.
"Brothers, the enemy army is so cunning that they attacked our army's granary at night. Their intentions are really worthy of death. If the food and grass are exhausted, the army's morale will be shaken. How can we fight? Therefore, I would like to ask General Ma Song to lead 20,000 troops to take advantage of this opportunity. Go ahead at night, firstly, to clear out the incoming enemy. I predict that this group of enemy troops must be small in number, so they can catch us by surprise. Secondly, we have to prepare a front line for us to prevent any unexpected events. Other brothers, camp tonight The lights were bright in the middle, and thousands of people were left to patrol continuously so as not to make the enemy suspicious. Then, at Yin Shi, the men held their coins and their horses held their rings, and the army set off and returned to the new wilderness!"
Ma Jun looked serious and quickly ordered. He knew very well that once the food and grass were burned, the morale of the army would be greatly affected, and this battle was a doomed battle. Now, the only thing is to admit the coward first, and then set up a suspicious formation so that the large group of people can escape safely.
"promise!"
All the generals listened in unison.
"General, if we withdraw, what will happen to the navy?"
At this time, a general suddenly asked.
Indeed, they could just walk away. But if the navy army didn't know and lost their barrier, they would probably be completely defeated. In this case, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Ninghou to explain!
"Well, this matter will fall on you. Go and inform General Song Zhe immediately. He will decide for himself whether to stay or leave!"
Ma Juncai was too lazy to care about the life and death of the navy, but after all, he was a grasshopper on the same line. If he really left without making any noise, he would probably be held accountable by the court later.
"promise!"
The general had no choice but to accept the order. It seemed that he had to solve the problem himself.
At the moment, the arrangements have been made.
Ma Song immediately quietly gathered people and horses from the rear camp, and left quietly under the cover of night.
This action indeed deceived Lin Zhijing and others on the opposite side for a moment. Although, taking advantage of Gu Peng and Pei Yunzhao's success, they fired several rounds of arrows in response, but the noise caused was not ideal. The lights in the enemy camp seemed to suddenly become brighter.
