Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1198
Under the thick night, torches were already burning outside the tents, and the soldiers had already gathered in rows under the shouts of their respective commanders.

Wang Meng rushed out hastily, but became the most discordant existence in the camp. He could not walk more than a foot away from the camp, and there were already knives and guns hanging down his neck.Fortunately, those soldiers recognized him in time, so they didn't act more aggressively, but even so, Wang Meng was still startled into a cold sweat when he saw the cold blade under his neck.

After a while, Wang Meng was led to the inside of the gate of the camp, and when he saw that the soldiers were all neatly armored, he couldn't help feeling even more ashamed when he looked at his disheveled state.However, this emotion did not last long, and soon his attention was attracted by the commotion around the camp.

Outside the area covered by the campfire, the night was still dark. Although the scenery in the field of vision was blurred, those shadowy and swaying figures could already be seen faintly, and the chaotic running and shouting came from all directions.

Wang Meng himself has little military experience, and he did not expect to encounter a very rare night attack on the first night after leaving Hongnong County.Thinking of the warning from the general lord Xiao Yuandong in the evening, he couldn't help being even more astonished.

Night raids are the most dangerous variable for camping overnight. Even if Wang Meng has no military experience, he has already learned this common sense from the merger book.If this strategy is used properly, the enemy can be defeated several times with a small number of people.But if it is possible to warn in advance before it is issued, it will probably be futile.

Wang Meng still can't figure out why Xiao Yuandong insisted on early warning, but seeing that there were enough early warnings in the camp and no clutter, it showed that he was fully prepared, so after the initial panic, his mood gradually returned to calm.

Sneak attack at night should focus on the enemy's unpreparedness. If the enemy has early warning and preparedness, half of the loss will be lost before the battle.Next, as long as they can hold the camp firmly, they will be able to defeat the enemy calmly.After all, night battles are a test for both attackers and defenders. If the invading enemy really has several times the offensive, there is no need to adopt such a risky style of play.

Wang Meng is still explaining the examples here with the art of war. The neatly armored general Xiao Yuandong has already descended here surrounded by more than a dozen personal soldiers. ..."

Xiao Yuandong's face was gloomy at the moment, when he heard Wang Meng's question, he just snorted casually, but he didn't reply, he just walked around the camp gate, and his face softened a little when he saw that the soldiers were all dressed up.

At this time, the noise in the field became even more noisy, Xiao Yuandong's face became even more ugly, the long spear under his arm shook and roared angrily: "The Jia battalion is on the horse, follow me to fight back for a while!"

"The general cannot..."

Wang Meng's face changed drastically after hearing the words, there was no way to judge the enemy's situation in the night, and his own soldiers were terrified, they were still reluctant to defend, and they took the initiative to attack even more at risk.

But his warning sound was ignored at all, the soldiers in the battalion only followed the command of the commander, as soon as Xiao Yuandong finished speaking, more than [-] people came out and led their horses to turn over.Before Wang Meng stepped forward to persuade him, Xiao Yuandong had already led these hundreds of soldiers to rush out of the camp gate, and his breath pierced into the night like a steel gun.

Seeing this scene, Wang Meng was so startled that cold sweat appeared on his forehead. You must know that there were not many soldiers in the camp, but there were only five or six hundred soldiers, and Xiao Yuandong directly took away more than half of them. In his field of vision alone, there were only five or sixty people in the area, and the rest were still running around in the camp to suppress those panicked soldiers.

"This General Xiao is too rash..."

Even if it was just talking on paper in the past, Wang Meng could also see that with Xiao Yuandong leading the attack, the entire battalion defense was already in jeopardy, and the enemy's soldiers would harass them later, and they would be in danger of losing their defense!
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much, Wang Meng can only draw out his saber and hold it in his hand, looking anxiously waiting for the enemy soldiers to rush in and kill a few people, even if they inevitably die in the end, it is a worthwhile trip.

"Wang Cheng doesn't need to be so nervous, this kind of battle is nothing more than normal."

Seeing Wang Meng's vigilance, Xing Yue, the lieutenant who was staying at the camp, walked over and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, indicating that there was no need to be so.

"But……"

Seeing that Xing Yue and other left-behind soldiers were not lacking in slack, Wang Meng felt even more heavy.

"The intruders are nothing more than a mob of bandits in the wild. How can these thieves resist General Xiao personally coming down and chasing them down?"

When Wang Meng heard this, he was even more confused: "Why is the general so sure that the intruders are nothing more than mobs? Why is the other prince so sure that there will be a night attack?"

After Xing Yue heard the words, he laughed, and didn't care about the more noisy fighting outside the camp, and explained to Wang Meng carefully: "Although Wang Zhi has not been broadcast here, the Wang Shi's forwards have repeatedly mopped up. It is within the supervision. Field garrisons are set up all over the country, and it may not be possible to strictly correct the countryside, but it can also monitor the strength of the thieves..."

Through Xing Yue's explanation, many questions in Wang Meng's mind gradually became clear.Although the main force of Master Wang retreated to Hongnong to recuperate, the scouts were always active in the surrounding environment, and all the organized enemy troops around were dispatched, and all of them were under surveillance.From this point of view, it can be determined that the invading enemies cannot be the soldiers with a strong banner.

Even if some enemy troops were broken up and infiltrated here, the possibility of choosing them as the target is very slim.This place is only a day's journey away from Hongnong Wangshi's main camp. Even if it is possible, Xiao Yuandong will lead the crowd to investigate and find out whether the enemy's army is real or not. He may take advantage of the encirclement situation to break out and ask for help. Killing can disturb the enemy's camp, but it can't be out of the enemy's camp.

As for why it is said that there will be an enemy attack tonight, there is no mystery to tell. Wang Shi is so powerful that he cannot hide it, whether he is moving or static, it affects people's hearts. There must be many prying people outside Hongnong County.Guanzhong has been in turmoil for many years, especially just after a cold winter, including those strong bandits and bandits are all suffering from hunger and cold, once they find such a rich cargo team, how can they ignore it and let it go.

In other words, including Xiao Yuandong, it is impossible to know the foretelling. The reason why there will be an enemy attack tonight is just judging by human feelings that the possibility is relatively high.Even if you can't succeed in a sneak attack, you can try to find out the combat effectiveness of this road, and then gather more thieves to attack and loot on the back road.

After listening to Xing Yue's explanation, Wang Meng couldn't help being silent for a long time, and realized even more the shallowness of talking on paper.Just such a simple judgment involves all aspects, not to mention how advanced it is, but if one ignores one point, one may pay a heavy price.And the judgment of this specific situation, even the most profound military book cannot be recorded in the book.

Not to mention Wang Meng's bowing his head and being ashamed of himself, Xiao Yuandong came back half an hour after he led his troops out of the camp. fear.

"The thieves have all retreated, please rest in peace in the camp."

Xiao Yuandong got off his horse, the horse under his ribs was still dripping blood, he glanced at Wang Meng who was looking up from behind the gate of the camp, his heart moved, he signaled for several soldiers to bring the howling and struggling prisoners into the camp, and then pointed Looking at Wang Meng, he said, "Will you use a knife? Go and cut your guts."

There may be a hint of caring in these words, but Wang Meng felt that it was extremely harsh in his ears, and he said angrily: "Although the young and young are useless, they are definitely not timid! The skill of the formation, I... …ah!"

Before the generous speech was finished, Wang Meng had already exclaimed, because something was thrown towards him in mid-air, and he subconsciously waved his arms to catch it, but a cloud of fishy water rushed straight to the front door and even splashed into the mouth. Only then did he see clearly that it was a bloody human head, and what was even worse was that the human head's eyes were wide open, black and white, and when it landed, it just stared straight at him.

Seeing Wang Meng jumping back in terror, Xiao Yuandong already laughed out loud, and his mood improved a bit because of this, he stepped forward and put his blood-stained palm on Wang Meng's shoulder and said with a smile: "I haven't yet observed the boy's talent. The general attaches great importance to you, and I do not look up to you in the usual way. Xiabei is not a good place. If the real battle is in full swing, I have no time to take care of you. If you have no plan to make a living by yourself and live up to the general's expectations, a I am too lazy to pick up rotting bones thrown into the wilderness."

Wang Meng was half ashamed and half angry when he heard this, he lowered his head and spit out the hot meat that splashed into his mouth, suppressed the desire to retch, and then said in a slightly stiff tone: "The general has high expectations, and I will sacrifice my life to repay it." .Even if the strong bones are exposed, how dare you have General Lao!"

When Xiao Yuandong heard this, he raised his head and laughed loudly, patted Wang Meng on the shoulder, and then raised his arms and shouted: "The intruders and bandits have all been defeated, each rests in the camp, and has enough energy, don't delay the journey!"

Without hesitation, most of the battalion soldiers dispersed, the torches in the camp were also reduced a lot, and the night once again entered the camp.Dozens of battalion soldiers got on their horses and went out to patrol the camp, and the sound of horseshoes echoed endlessly in the wilderness.

Wang Meng was not sleepy at the moment, bent down and picked up a handful of dirt to wipe off the strong-smelling blood stains on his shoulders that Xiao Yuandong had patted, and then walked towards the prisoners who were tied up next to the camp gate, pretending to ask harshly The origin, the man answered tremblingly, as Xing Yue explained before, the bandits recently came to test the strength of the army, but he did not expect that Wang Shi dared to cross the camp to fight back, many soldiers were beheaded and scattered.

This battle was so lackluster that the battalion soldiers were too lazy to raise their spirits.However, this was Wang Meng's first time facing the battle formation. Although the night was covered and he couldn't see the specific situation of the battle, he was deeply moved by the brave and bloody aura of the soldiers of the Hongwu Army returning.

Seeing those trembling and terrified captives, Xiao Yuandong's proposal sounded in Wang Meng's mind again, and then his mood became ready to move.

His fingers rested on the cold handle of the knife, and his breathing gradually became short of breath.The nearby prisoner also sensed the danger revealed in his expression, and wailed and begged for mercy.

"So you're also afraid of death..."

Seeing this scene, Wang Meng suddenly wanted to laugh. He held the handle of the knife tightly with one hand, and grabbed the man's messy bun with the other. He looked down at the blood-stained, terrified face of the other party, and many thoughts surged in his heart. stand up.

Hearing this man crying about the hunger and cold, and barely able to live, so he took the risk, but Wang Meng didn't have any thoughts of sympathy and pity. I feel that I am more noble or intelligent than the other party, but now, one is a death row prisoner, and the other is the head of a knife-wielding official.

Is such a disparity in chance just because of luck?Why didn't he fall into the position of this prisoner who took risks just to survive, only to die faster in the end?

Wang Meng let go of his fingers, threw the man away, and retreated to one side, holding the knife and sitting on the ground, without saying a word for a long time.Seeing this scene, the battalion patrol soldiers also became suspicious. They called a few times but didn't respond, and simply ignored him. They just lit a bonfire beside him.

It was like this until the morning light broke and the voices of the people in the camp gradually became noisy. Wang Meng stood up suddenly, and then looked at the prisoners who were already dying from the cold, with some insight in his eyes, and murmured: "People are afraid of death and do all kinds of evil. Severe punishments and severe laws are called governing people, but they are actually suppressing evil! Trees will inevitably wither, and people will inevitably have evil thoughts. The existence of punishment is based on safety, followed by punishment..."

　Alas, I originally wanted to write a scene of Enlightenment with a strong atmosphere, but after changing it twice, it’s too mysterious, so let’s write it normally. . .In short, Wang Meng's realm has improved, and he is not far from being invincible below Zhiming. . .
