Guan Cheng followed Wang Ye into the second tent. After many days of running around, he had become immune to the deafening snoring.
Everyone should be required to cover their faces with a piece of cloth to hide their most basic appearance. They look like assassins, and they are a bunch of assassins.
Guan Cheng held a delicate dagger in his hand, and the originally loose and noble royal robe was replaced by a short dagger for easy movement. There was also a long sword hanging on his waist, which was for use in the battle after being discovered.
Before leaving, Cao Ling'er forced Guan Cheng to put on a set of close-fitting soft armor, and gently touched Guan Cheng's mouth. She was a woman and the future mistress in everyone's eyes, so naturally she wanted to Set a good example, this was what the nuns from the palace told her repeatedly.
As a superior woman, it is natural for women to suppress the messy emotions of reluctance and worry. No matter how scared they are, they have to pretend to be confident and confident. If they can't pretend, try their best to pretend.
Her words and deeds will have a huge impact on the people in the rear. If she panics, who won't? If the rear is in chaos, how can the men in the front feel at ease and come back alive?
It's not that Cao Ling'er doesn't understand this, it's just that she's still very unfamiliar with it. She has never seen the cruelty of war, but she knows that after every war, countless people will be heartbroken.
This kind of thing happened often when Yong'an City was still called Yongwei. Her grandfather's grandfather was once a member of the Twelve Divisions of Yongweijing. At that time, every word spoken by Emperor Datong was resounding and became a constitution. That's it.
However, after years of war, even the hundreds of thousands of tiger warriors in Datong were exhausted. Now there is a huge Zhongyi Temple twenty miles outside Yong'an City. There are hundreds of thousands of memorial tablets enshrined there, and there is a forest of stone tablets, each with a Full of densely packed names.
When Cao Ling'er was young, her grandfather took her to see it and found several names on a certain stone tablet. Her grandfather would go there every year and shed tears when he saw it. Those were his grandfather, father, brother, and uncle.
Cao Ling'er now also understands this pain and the worries that arise when thinking of this pain.
A quick kiss was the most she could do.
Men conquer the world, women conquer men.
This tenderness made Guan Cheng, who had been a young chicken for sixteen years, burst into blood. The wonderful feeling did not subside until he stabbed the dagger fiercely into the neck of a Jinbing soldier.
One thing that can make a vigorous young man's heart sway with yearning is the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber, and the other is the iron-blooded war on the battlefield.
It's just that the latter often requires a period of discomfort to get better.
The blood splashed on his face was still a little warm, and there was a faint fishy smell in his nose, and Guan Cheng came back to his senses instantly.
Looking down, this Jin Army soldier was obviously still very young. He didn't even have a beard. The panic in his eyes was fixed at the last second of his life. His hands were still holding the dagger, but the blood was still pouring out of his neck. The thick blood had already announced his death.
Did I kill someone?
I killed someone!
Two thoughts flashed rapidly through Guan Cheng's mind, followed by waves of nausea that seemed to break through the shackles of his throat.
This was the first time he had killed someone, the first time he had seen a person shed so much blood.
He wanted to vomit, he couldn't help it, but he had to hold it back because he was the leader of an army and the superior.
You can show cowardice or lose your composure, but you must maintain the glorious image of a superior in front of others, just like there are no flaws in the spotlight.
Guan Cheng endured the impulse and discomfort, and swallowed the uncomfortable feeling.
"Let's go, next!"
The five hundred elite soldiers had divided the general area they were responsible for at the very beginning, and they dispersed as soon as they entered the camp area. The team Guan Cheng was in was just a randomly selected one, which made the soldiers who were accompanying him extremely happy. , took the prince with him to carry out the attack.
The relationship between men has been forged together, and they have fought together. Now His Highness King Jin is by his side, and he can even vaguely see the hand holding the dagger shaking a little. But it still counts as having fought together. Isn't this right? Didn’t you say that you and the prince are also brothers? It's exciting just thinking about it. This guy will be proud to brag about it.
A few people quickly finished one tent and moved on to the next one. The snoring of the Jin Army soldiers was the best cover.
There are usually two tracks and ten people in the Jin army's camp. There are division chiefs and track leaders who have separate positions. The other eight people are basically of the Datongpu type.
If it were a separate camp, it would still have the official position of captain, that is, brigade leader.
But that kind of camp is surrounded by guards and personal guards. There will be more patrol teams and the frequency will be higher. To sneak attack on such a place is tantamount to telling people that I am coming to attack at night.
Guan Cheng's goal was to kill the Jin army as much as possible before being discovered to offset the numerical disadvantage.
The company commander, who is between the brigade leader and the commander, has two people in a smaller camp.
An officer of this level would not be so extravagant as to have patrol soldiers on duty at night, but he is the most important command force at the grassroots level.
As luck would have it, Guan Cheng and others' second target was a small tent for two people.
After quietly touching it, everything was fine, and the snoring was loud.
He walked over cautiously. He had a beard on his face and the hair on his temples was already a little gray. Even when he was sleeping, he was wearing half-armor. The long sword was not sheathed. It was emitting a cold light and could be reached at any time with his right hand. His face A few scars can still be vaguely seen on the face.
This is a standard grassroots general who has climbed up from the ranks step by step. He has enough meritorious service and is vigilant enough. Perhaps because he has no connections, he cannot cross the huge gap of captain.
Guan Cheng raised the dagger, folded his hands and stabbed it hard. However, the expected scene of piercing the neck and spurting out blood did not appear. Instead, there was a dull sound.
When he saw that the company commander's eyes were open and staring at him, Guan Cheng felt as if he had awakened a sleeping wolf.
The dagger in his hand was inserted into a piece of wood picked up by the captain of the Golden Army. The huge downward force had caused the entire dagger blade to disappear.
Guan Cheng was shocked, and cold sweat started to flow down in an instant.
What should I do? I was discovered!
Such a ridiculous idea that the attackers were afraid to be discovered.
The same was true for another Jin Bing company commander, but the surrounding soldiers did not give him any extra chance. The other two soldiers waved their daggers at the same time, even though the Jin Bing company commander kicked a Jin soldier over at the first opportunity. But lying on the bed, he had no good leverage at all. His vigilance on the battlefield and his years of experience could save him once or twice, but he could not escape the vicious attack of the third Jin soldier.
Even if those who can be selected by Guan Ze to escort Guan Cheng to Jin are well-trained elites who have not seen much blood, they just lack the baptism of the battlefield.
And there is no one who can stand out among more than 2,000 people who is not clever. The best of the best.
I saw the third Jin soldier saw the opportunity and pierced the belly of the Jinbing company commander with his sword. The company commander suddenly stopped, the look of pain on his face instantly twisted, and he held the blackened sword tightly with both hands. But he was kicked over by Jin soldiers.
All this happened in a flash of lightning. A golden soldier's company commander and a battle-hardened officer aroused hatred from the beginning to the end without even having time to shout.
On Guan Cheng's side, he also felt that Captain Jin Bing's left hand was shaking in a panic, and Guan Cheng immediately thought that it must have pierced the palm.
At that moment, he abandoned the dagger and reached out to pull out the sword from his waist.
Upon seeing this, Captain Jin Bing immediately picked up the sword next to him and shouted loudly.
"Enemy attack~"
"Come quickly! Enemy attack~"
The sound was very shrill, and the harsh sound woke up some Jin Army soldiers. The smell of blood in the air instantly gave the Jin Army soldiers a premonition that something was not going to happen, and they quickly woke up their surrounding companions.
Wang Ye, who had just finished killing a golden soldier in a camp, clenched his dagger in frustration. Damn it, it was too fast.
Then he drew out the long sword from his waist and shouted: "Left and right! Kill with me!"
Before the long sword on Guan Cheng's waist was unsheathed, Captain Jin Bing cursed and raised his sword to stab him. In desperation, Guan Cheng could only back away repeatedly hoping to escape, but Captain Jin Bing was obviously unwilling to give him this. Opportunity, if you bully him with a sword, you will definitely kill the rookie who is obviously a little chick in front of you.
But how could the surrounding Jin soldiers watch this happen.
The Jin soldier who was kicked to the ground first was also the first to get up. With a loud shout, the long sword in his hand struck down like a mountain like an axe.
Captain Jin Bing was unwilling to give in. If he continued to move forward, he would definitely kill the rookie in front of him, but he would probably also have an arm cut off by the enemy's sword. Captain Jin Bing almost instinctively turned around to resist, and at the same time He kicked Guan Cheng, but he kicked Guan Cheng out directly.
Guan Cheng's body of more than 100 kilograms directly collapsed the tent behind him. The sound of gold and iron in his ears only appeared twice before he saw a splatter of blood on the tent, and then a Jin soldier fell to the ground, covering his neck. The ground appeared in Guan Cheng's sight.
There were a few more crisp sounds, and two other Jin soldiers fell into a pool of blood. Guan Cheng could clearly see the unwillingness in their eyes.
What a powerful enemy!
Guan Cheng's mind was a little heavy. Killing three people in such a short period of time was definitely a tricky thing.
Captain Jin Bing looked up to the sky and roared wildly, raised his sword and rushed towards Guan Cheng. Guan Cheng gritted his teeth, secretly boosted his energy and at the same time raised his sword and roared towards him.
At the same time, Wang Ye, who had just shouted to kill the enemy, suddenly changed his face when he heard this voice.
not good!
That is Your Highness.
If something happened to Guan Cheng, everything would be meaningless.
Wang Ye was so anxious that he rushed toward Guan Cheng with his men, and when he did, he did not forget to order the soldiers to set fire to the place.
It would be disrespectful to the clouds if one of these two brothers, murder and arson, were to be missing in such a beautiful dense night.
Soon the fire burst into the sky, and Wu Chengju, who was waiting in the woods outside the village and was extremely irritable, was overjoyed and pulled out the long sword from his waist.
"Left and right! His Royal Highness the King of Jin is already killing the enemy at the front. He will make great achievements today. He will be rich and powerful, and he will be promoted to generals from now on! Follow me and kill!"
Suddenly the shouts of killing were heard.
The panic in Captain Jin Bing's heart could not be concealed at all. He had been fighting on the battlefield for almost thirty years. He had climbed up from a farm boy to the position of company commander step by step. Even the brigade leader was polite and unassuming when he saw him. No one knows how many lives and deaths he has experienced. In this situation, the soldiers are exhausted and they are raided into the stronghold by the enemy. What kind of things they will encounter later can be known by picking their toes.
From the moment the shouts of death rang out from outside the stronghold, Captain Jin Bing realized that the situation was over and the defeat was determined. Even if the God of War was resurrected, it would be difficult to turn defeat into victory in this situation.
Thinking of this, the panic in my heart directly affected my brain, and my reactions began to become disorganized.
Soon Wang Ye arrived and immediately ordered people to surround the Jin Bing Captain and drag Guan Cheng behind. As long as this little ancestor is fine, that would be great.
"Keep Gu Gu alive!" Guan Cheng retreated to the back to calm down and shouted at Wang Ye.
This person is definitely a good player and there is absolutely no problem in using him to train troops.
Guan Cheng has always had an idea in his mind, and that is to create a martial arts. If every officer understands the art of war, or knows basic adaptations, then his army can definitely grow into an elite division in the shortest time.
If you cross the river by feeling the stones and take the wrong path, you are likely to drown.
He believes that any knowledge can be spread, especially experience.
The camps of the Jin Army generals were all concentrated in the back. Ju Chuan and Yan Tao were both battle-hardened veterans. They turned over and woke up when the Jin Army Company Commander shouted for the first time.
Then he immediately ordered the soldiers near the main tent to gather.
Maruchuan even took a commander and sprinted towards the front camp.
The accompanying soldiers didn't even wear armor, and some even followed behind with their bare buttocks held up.
The mission of these people is to block the enemy and buy time for the troops behind to gather, even if they are all killed in battle.
Wang Ye began to assemble his troops as soon as he was discovered. The formation of a battle array was far better than the scattered soldiers, and it was basically a massacre of the past.
Although it didn't last long, the effect of killing the enemy was significant. A large area of the Jin army's camp was full of dead bodies, and the Jin army left no trace behind.
The first ones to rush over were the patrolling soldiers, but there were only a few of these soldiers, and they could not even block the Jin army.
Guan Cheng was protected by all the sergeants in the formation. He also knew that this was not the time to show off his willfulness. Thinking back to the enemies he had just dealt with with his own hands and listening to the deafening killing sounds all around, he had a feeling that he really was He was born for these troubled times, he was born for this battlefield.
"Gentlemen! Move forward side by side!"
The team quickly returned to a simple formation. Wang Ye stood in the center of the first row. A soldier picked up a long pole and hung a hastily prepared flag and flew it in the wind.
It's just that the appearance of this big flag is very similar to Shu Jun's military flag.
This is also a last resort. In just one day, we can only embroider this one side. It is the result of Guan Cheng gathering all the maids. Even Cao Ling'er worked hard for several hours to embroider this side. Shu Junhuqi added two nondescript wings to its appearance.
There are two kinds of animals that Guan Cheng has worshiped since he was young. One is the eagle, which can soar in the sky and overlook the wilderness, and dominate thousands of miles away. The other is the tiger, whose roar frightens all the beasts in the mountains and forests. This was the case in the former Datong Dynasty, such as An eagle is like a tiger, and no one in the world dares to plunder its front.
He wanted such a flag.
So when Wang Ye saw Shu Jun's military flag, he slapped his head and said how about putting wings on the tiger, so that the tiger could fly, and the dominance would not only be a thousand miles, but even thousands of miles, or even tens of thousands of miles.
Guan Cheng smiled and said: "That's really like adding more power to a tiger."
Then I thought about it again, and it seemed really good to be more powerful than a tiger.
So he was given the title Flying Tiger Guard.
It was in such a random environment that the predecessor of the famous Flying Tiger Army, which would become awe-inspiring in all countries in the future, was born.
At this moment, Guan Cheng stood under the temporarily made Feihu banner and felt his blood boiling. Wang Ye was indeed a talented soldier.
If he had to command an army of 500 people by himself, he might be blind, but in Wang Ye's hands, it would not be too simple. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he can use his fingers like an arm.
Most of the Jin Army soldiers in the camp ran out and ran towards their own troops, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would become the dead souls of the unknown enemy behind.
Naturally, the Jin army would not miss such a good opportunity. Wang Ye found a torch from somewhere and lit it three times in front.
The military formation began to move forward. It was very difficult to control the army when the light was bad. There were flags and drums during the day, and even the messengers could relatively easily find the corresponding troops to pass on the orders. However, large-scale battles at night were no different. Disaster comes easily.
When Ju Chuan arrived at the front camp with a team of less than a hundred people, he was beaten to pieces by his own soldiers before he even saw the enemy.
Naturally, we need to shoot arrows to deal with this situation, but everyone came out in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to put on their pants. You want me to take the bow and arrow?
What a joke.
Run quickly, or you'll be trampled to death if you don't!
