There was a smell of barbecue in the air all night long, but this smell could not arouse anyone's appetite at all. On the contrary, many people in the military camp vomited after smelling it. Those who didn't vomit also looked ugly.
Shen Hao is not used to it, but what can he do? The cruelty of the battlefield was no less brutal than that of Xuan Qingwei's torture room, and even worse. At least Shen Hao hadn't seen as many dead people before as he did today. And according to what Wu Kai and Xu Jie said before, Jianchuan has experienced this kind of scene several times.
Sitting in the temple, or even sitting in the tent in Wuhu, even watching the battle report is definitely not as realistic as being there in person.
"Tell the brothers, sleep with your clothes on, keep your sword close to your body, and keep your talisman handy at all times. Don't let your guard down at night. By the way, where is Captain Xu who sent us here?"
"Captain Xu and we camped together, not far from your tent. The third tent is next to the group. There is Master Chen in the middle."
"They are not under the jurisdiction of the upper military camp, right?"
"No. I asked him, and he said that all the people who were supposed to be unloaded at Yushi were left there. In addition, some of the people who were killed on the road will now follow us."
This actually gave Shen Hao some confidence. The number 30 bodyguards in hand are not too thin. Counting the people from the previous cavalry, nearly 100 can always be of some use.
"You remember to discuss it with Captain Xu tomorrow. It is best that you and the cavalry team can run into a battle formation in case of emergency. Do you understand what I mean?"
How could the little flag officer of the personal guard not understand? After thinking about it for a while, he understood that Lord Shen was preparing for a rainy day. He quickly handed over his hand and exited the tent.
Shen Hao looked at the hazy moonlight outside, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. It seemed that the upper military camp in Jianchuan was not a kind place and he should leave as soon as possible. This feeling was inexplicable, but Shen Hao did not dare to ignore it.
Leaving, Shen Haozhen has thought about this issue carefully, but it is not easy to leave here.
First of all, Shen Hao came to the military camp in the upper part of Jianchuan with Chen Zifang as the general manager of chores. Just after he arrived, he set up a formation to burn corpses and left? Not even going around the camp? Doesn't this make sense?
Secondly, the original plan was to go to the central military camp in Jianchuan. Later, we encountered a barbarian raid. After fighting and retreating, we were worried that we would accidentally fall into a tight encirclement, so we avoided the central military camp and went back to the Daoxing General Manager Yamen in Wuhu to inquire about the next step. Was transferred to the upper military camp.
When Shen Hao thought about this paragraph, he realized the words in the order that the general manager of Daoxing sent to them: send.
Send, dispatch, dispatch! Instead of "can", "can", "can". The tone of the command was clear. In other words, even if Shen Hao, the general manager of chores, wants to leave after finishing his errands in the upper military camp, he will need to issue another order from the Daoxing general manager's office to confirm and cancel the previous order before they can leave. This has separated him and Chen Zifang's previous purpose was purely for inspection.
In this way, Shen Hao was sure that he and his party were pinned here by the Yamen, the general manager of Daoxing, and could not move for the time being. This is also the reason why Shen Hao signaled his bodyguards to seize the time tomorrow to run into the battle formation with Xu Xiaowei's men. Since we can't leave for the time being, we still have to do our best to protect ourselves.
But the question is, why did the Daoxing General Manager Yamen come with such a mandatory dispatch task?
When Shen Hao first joined the army, he didn't pay attention. Only now that he thought about it carefully did he realize that Chen Zifang, who had been in the army all year round, knew about it a long time ago and deliberately didn't tell him? Or maybe you are so used to it that you don’t feel the need to talk about it separately?
The most important thing is that the Daoxing General Manager's Yamen did not give such a mandatory order at the beginning, but only came after encountering an attack on the central military camp on the road. It shows that the general manager of Daoxing Yamen also made a temporary decision.
No matter how he looked at it now, Shen Hao felt that this dispatch order looked like "catching young men."
Is it necessary to capture strong men with less than a hundred people? Shen Hao didn't think so at first, but when he saw the three Yuan Dan realm guards around him, he seemed to understand a little bit.
However, it stands to reason that Shen Hao's status is special, and now he is the "convenience bridge" jointly agreed by Junwu and Xuanqing Guard. If he is pushed to the front line, it will not look good if something happens. I don't know how much he will lose in face. Awkward.
But Shen Hao's professional habits always make him like to deduce things from the worst side. For example, would a drowning person find the floating board next to him too thin? Certainly not.
And what kind of situation can be called "drowning"?
Naturally, this is the time when the peak of troops is approaching and reinforcements cannot arrive!
Shen Hao was also shocked by his deduction. But once this thought came out, I couldn't hold it back. But you can't tell people directly, as it could easily be seen as disturbing the morale of the army and beheaded, so you can only be more wary.
"It's not easy to mess around! People in the army are said to be upright, and I've always heard that people in the army act upright and straight, with few twists and turns. Gee, it seems that I was fooled by the words of Zhang Qian and Gan Lin. .Those two guys are unreliable and I shouldn’t trust them.”
Shen Hao couldn't help but laugh at himself, as his judgment was affected by the "military" described by Zhang Qian and Gan Lin before. And not just once. It seems that in the future, "uprightness", "boldness" and "not beating around the bush" should really be taken away from the military.
Perhaps because his mind was racing so frequently, and it was already midnight, and there had been another fight in the afternoon, Shen Hao felt a little tired at this time. He sat on the stool and closed his eyes, rubbing his forehead with his hands.
At dawn tomorrow, he planned to urge Chen Zifang to complete the transfer to the upper military stronghold, and then use the excuse to inspect the many defense points on the cruising defense line out of the stronghold. Those places were not suitable for large-scale army confrontations. In Shen Hao's opinion, they would It is much safer than the Junzhai side.
As for fighting to the death for Jingjiu Dynasty, Shen Hao did not have such consciousness, and he did not think that he would be in that position.
Empty your mind and take a break.
But a shrill horn made Shen Hao jump up from his stool.
"Woo..."
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
It was not only the horns that sounded shrill, but also the soldiers patrolling the camp, beating the gongs in their hands and roaring at the top of their lungs.
In an instant, the originally silent military camp was set on fire, and everyone who could still go to the ground came out of the tent with weapons in hand. Although there was tension on their faces, they did not panic. Under the leadership of their respective commanders and captains, they began to rush towards their defensive positions in an orderly manner.
Shen Hao walked out of the camp, and his personal guard Xiao Qi, as well as Captain Xu from the previous cavalry, who were already fully clothed, also came to listen to the order. As for Chen Zifang, naturally he is also on the list.
"Master Chen, I think it's better for us to go to General Cheng's tent and listen to the instructions." Shen Hao was not polite to Chen Zifang. He said he was asking, but in fact, his feet began to move.
"This is how it should be, Master Shen, let's go!"
