"General, should we wait any longer?"
Du Tan turned to Liu Dong with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
Liu Dong hesitated a little. He always had an uneasy feeling in his heart, and the feeling became stronger the closer he got to the Jin army's camp.
This intuitive warning is certainly not unfounded.
"General, what Guan Cheng is most used to is luring the enemy and setting up ambushes. Tonight he is uncharacteristically uncharacteristic and there may be some deceit in this camp."
Du Tan nodded and said: "What His Highness said is not unreasonable, but His Highness also heard the spy's report. Guan Cheng has found his long-lost sister, and now the whole camp is celebrating."
"You have to know the time when celebrating, right? He is celebrating at this critical moment? Even if he goes to Liang Kingdom, I can understand it."
"Perhaps it's a tactic used by suspicious soldiers, General Du."
Du Tan said: "I have also thought about what Your Highness said. The worst result is that Guan Cheng arranges an ambush in the camp, but how many soldiers can he fight? Three hundred? Five hundred? According to the Jin Dynasty, The size of the munitions pile can only hold more than 500 people to death, but how many soldiers can there be in it, and how many armors there are."
"This time, I have brought 1,500 people, all of whom are elite soldiers. There is absolutely no problem in defeating hundreds of old and weak men."
Du Tan turned to Liu Dong and said: "Your Highness, whether it's a strategy or a surprise attack, it's all about winning the battle. All the changes are just to weaken the enemy and strengthen yourself. But if you defeat ten groups with one force, if the difference is too big, there will be no difference." Too many strategies are just a struggle, for the general must be decisive."
After listening to this, Liu Dong bowed and said, "What the general said was so enlightening that Dong was enlightened."
Du Tan also waved his hand when he saw this and said: "It is my great blessing that the young master can be so broad-minded and willing to listen to others. Once the young master has been on this battlefield a few more times, he will have enough experience. By then, Huben will be able to control the world." Gotta go."
Du Tan's words can be said to be serious and reached Liu Dong's heart, with a slightly happy expression on his face.
Is there any man who is in power and does not look down on the world?
Du Tan was full of confidence relying on his own strength. In fact, as he expected, Guan Cheng only had more than 300 capable soldiers, and even including the horsemen and cart drivers, there were less than 700.
Looking behind him, Du Tan, one of the 1,500 elite soldiers who was tired but still in high morale after a night's trek, was full of confidence.
He didn't believe that this prince who grew up in a deep palace could create miracles again and again.
Destiny is coming?
Du Tan shook his head in disdain.
That was just an excuse for the head of Guizhou. How many generals like me believed it.
If the destiny is really in Yong'an City, why is the world in such a state of melee now? The imperial edicts in Yong'an City have become mascots. If the destiny is really in Yong'an City, then I and almost all the princes in the world will die. , and it was the kind that killed all the nine tribes.
Putting aside some unrealistic thoughts in his mind, Du Tan stared at the Jin army's camp. The long sword in his hand was cold to the bone, but Du Tan's heart was extremely hot.
You must know that he is the prince or the former prince. If he can capture him, he will definitely become famous in the world. This world has been in chaos for a long time, but has anyone ever heard of someone capturing a prince?
The more Du Tan thought about it, the more excited he became. He might not take the royal family seriously, but this kind of reputation was enough to make him tempted.
The sky and moonlight are still bright, but the daybreak is not far away, and we can't wait any longer.
Du Tan's heart skipped a beat, and he waved his big hand forward fiercely. The cold light from the tip of the sword kept flashing in the direction of the Jin army's camp, like a snake spitting out messages, full of bloodthirsty restlessness.
The sky seemed to be very cooperative. After a while, the wind that had weakened became fierce again, causing the branches in the forest to dance wildly and covering up many sounds.
The wind at night was somewhat cold. The Jin soldiers at the entrance of the camp couldn't help but shrink their necks and rub their cold hands. The torch next to them was swaying in the wind, but the movement in the camp was much quieter. .
Du Tan and others quickly came closer, and they could barely hear the snoring one after another in the wind.
Liu Dong looked slightly happy. It seemed that the Jin army was really trustworthy and dared to be so lax in such a situation.
"Report to Sima, brothers are all in place." A company commander quietly came over and whispered.
"Give me the order and wait for this Sima's signal before taking action. You can only succeed, not fail!"
"I humble my position and take orders."
Looking at the retreating figure of the company commander, Liu Dong asked in confusion: "General Du, time waits for no one. Should we take action earlier?"
Du Tan shook his head and said, "No hurry, just wait!"
"But it's daybreak soon!" Liu Dong said anxiously: "If it gets daybreak, we will lose the opportunity, and the soldiers will be very tired after running all night."
After hearing this, Du Tan also knew that what Liu Dong said made sense. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and asked, "Master, are you feeling uneasy?"
Liu Dong's heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed. It was obvious that Du Tan had spoken to his mind.
"Could it be that General Du also feels this way?"
Du Tan nodded slightly and said softly: "To be honest, I feel like I'm being watched, and my whole back feels chilly."
"Although Yan Tao is arrogant, the soldiers he leads are indeed the strongest among our five armies of Dajin."
"There is also Tang Chou. Although it is despicable, it is undeniable that Tang Chou is thoughtful and cruel and cunning. The B-character combat power of Yan Tao's left army should not be underestimated."
"But now Yan Tao's left army has been defeated one after another. The loss has exceeded 5,000 people. Even Tang Chou has lost his head."
"You have to be careful."
Liu Dong also felt that it made sense, but he felt that it was you who said your mother-in-law would reduce ten skills with one force, and it was you who said that the other party was not easy to mess with.
Should we fight or not?
Seeing that Liu Dong didn't reply, Du Tan was a little embarrassed and continued: "The general thinks that maybe we can send a group of troops to attack first and see the reaction of the Jin army before making any plans."
"General, I remember you said that a lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. Now that the battle is about to begin, the army is in charge, but as a general, I feel comfortable? If this is the case, why don't we return to the camp and make plans? Anyway, the Jin army will definitely pass by Juliang Whistle, Gao Yuan has already gone there."
Du Tan's face turned red, but it was well concealed by the darkness of the night. He knew that this made Liu Dong, the young man, dissatisfied.
There was some hesitation for a moment.
"General Du, you have been famous for a long time and are a senior general in our Dajin Army. How can you not know that hesitation in using troops is the most harmful?" At this point, Liu Dong's voice had a hint of coldness.
He suddenly had some doubts that Du Tan might not be in vain. He was already here and started to back off.
I have some uneasiness in my heart, but there is no risk in fighting, so why don't you do anything if you have doubts?
Du Tan took a deep breath, it seemed that this decision was extremely difficult.
"Sir, brothers are ready. How long will it take?"
Deng Li is coming back this time.
This is an urging signal.
Soldiers are eager to make achievements, otherwise they would have to walk more than ten or twenty miles of mountain roads at night just to catch wind?
Are you kidding me? The head is not enough points in the first place.
The troops brought out by Du Tan this time were mainly Jiazi brigade, with a thousand men and five companies, and it involved the reward promised by the prince himself, so Deng Li was particularly concerned about it and wanted to win the first prize. Face.
Even if you can't get promoted, you can still get some credit and earn some property.
But the more the wind blew, the more restless in my heart became, waiting for Sima's order.
But Sima, who was usually decisive in killing, was silent.
Deng Li was a little anxious, and the people below were also anxious.
Once the will of the army is unified, it will be difficult for even the commander of the first army to violate it forcefully.
Du Tan took a deep breath and looked back. No one knew what he could see in this moonlit night.
Liu Dong followed his gaze and looked over, as if he saw an invincible army, the gold-character flag and the willow-character flag flying high on Yong'an City.
"Pass this general's order!"
Immediately solemn, Liu Dong and others placed their hands on the hilts of their swords, breathing heavily amidst Du Tan's low shouts.
"kill!"
Deng Li, Liu Dong and others nodded solemnly, waved their big hands forward, and a wave of chilling air spread out one after another like dominoes falling to the ground.
A good archer drew his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming at the target in front of him. The tight bow string gradually became fuller, and with a low cry, it made a trembling buzz.
In the biting night wind, the sound of bows and arrows leaving their strings seemed so insignificant.
But it is in this insignificance that the ferocity and whisper of death are hidden.
There were not many soldiers on night duty at the gate of the Jin army camp, just six or seven. The wind blew the torches and the sky was getting dark. The soldiers on duty kept yawning and stamping their feet from time to time. The already weakened fire was also No one will pay attention anymore. When the fish belly white comes out in the east, it will be time to change the guard. You can go down and drink hot soup and eat hot rice and then lie in the car and have a good sleep.
The vigilance of the soldiers has obviously dropped sharply. The most suitable time for a surprise attack has passed. No one would think that the Jin soldiers would foolishly launch a surprise attack.
Unless Jin Bing is really looking for death.
The entire Jin army camp is about to wake up from its slumber.
The track leader leading the team kicked his subordinate who was about to fall asleep out of boredom.
The soldier who was awakened showed no fear on his face, but instead laughed and scratched the back of his head.
Naturally, the track leader needs to be taught a few words, but it's just a gentle one.
There will be a changing of the guard soon, and what needs to be done will always be done.
But the expression on the soldier's face, who had not yet had time to wake up, had not changed, but his eyes were filled with fear.
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp pain in the body.
The soldier looked down and saw that the tail feathers of the arrows on his chest were still trembling. There were a few muffled groans nearby, and the sound of arrows hammering into wood would come together and then dissipate in the wind.
In front of him, the eyes of the rail chief who had been with him through life and death and regarded him as his younger brother seemed to be about to pop out, and his mouth was open but he could not make a sound.
He held his neck tightly with both hands, and an arrow had already penetrated there. The arrow dripping with blood was the last thing he saw in his eyes.
The track leader fell to the ground unwillingly, and the soldiers seemed to have lost all their strength and pressed on him.
The sound of footsteps gradually became clearer from far to near.
It's an enemy attack!
That was the last thought in his mind.
There are countless legs and leather boots in the dilated pupils.
