Villager of Daming

Chapter 1190 Feelings of Substitution at the Night Banquet

Night slowly fell. No matter how powerful the Ming army's scouts were, they could not enter the Northern Yuan army's camp to investigate at night.

The Northern Yuan army was retreating, and even the elite scouts, later known as the long-distance sentries, who risked their lives to travel at night to detect the presence of the enemy, had no intention of going forward.

The order given to them was: protect yourself and not take risks easily.

Why would they ask the scouts to fight when they had all the advantages in all aspects? The scouts could just hold on and surround the enemy, including the west.

It’s a pity there are no night vision goggles, otherwise it would be even more powerful!
A small number of scouts took water bullets and fired cold shots. They would shoot at any place with torches or bonfires or any shadows that moved.

The range of the water ball is long, so accuracy is not important. If you can hit the target, then hit it. If you can't, then just give the opponent a copper bullet.

They didn't keep moving forward, the scouts were smart!
They were afraid that the enemy would place the bonfire further inside, and there might be people lying in ambush in the dark. If they went closer to hit the bonfire, they would easily be ambushed by the hiding enemies.

……

"Not moving? What went wrong inside them? Are they crazy? They didn't break out all afternoon and waited for our team to complete the encirclement?"

After dinner, the village head found Hanhan and told him the situation. The news he got was that the other party continued to retreat.

They ate kebabs and drank beer at the same time. Hanhan was always hungry under normal circumstances, and today was even more so.

There was a look of confusion in Zhu Wentian's eyes. Like the village head, he felt that the Northern Yuan army was seeking death.

"Don't they think we won't force a march to stop them? Or do they want to see how we move? Wait for us to move? For example..."

Zhu Wentian tried hard to put himself in the shoes of the enemy. He was a general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. What was he thinking?

The best explanation is that as a general of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he was waiting for the Ming army to mobilize and he took the opportunity to have a good rest at night.

I wake up in the middle of the night to eat, and before dawn, when I am most sleepy and tired, I suddenly break out in one direction.

For example, in the west, because the Ming army took the longest time to reach the west, they had no time to rest.

If you use your own army's best condition to attack the Ming Dynasty's most tired army, you may be able to succeed.

And because of the darkness, the Ming troops from the other three directions found it difficult to charge in for a while.

All your troops have to do is kill in one direction. Yes, that's right. It's indeed an option.

Li Chang: "..."

"Silly, why do I feel like they'll die faster if they do that?"

The village head is familiar with the situation of his own army. The people in his own army are well-fed and have plenty of energy. It is useless to fight with his own army.

Xu Da's army had been taken care of since they arrived in Beiping Prefecture. They had plenty of meat to eat, and Hanhan said that the meat was enough in terms of protein.

Marching and fighting is not a one-day thing. Now that we encounter each other, we must hold on to them until the end. There must be people left behind to cover the rear, right?
Whoever is left behind will be finished, and they will not be able to resist at all. The team left behind will encounter the attack of the main force of the palace guards.

That's an assault rifle plus a mortar. Even a fool can bring a heavy machine gun to the front to have some fun.

In the face of heavy machine gun bullets...

"There is another possibility." Zhu Wentian suddenly thought of a situation.

"Village head, you said that our battle with them was just an encounter, and at the beginning no one knew who was who.

Our scouts discovered them first. They were marching, and then our scouts attacked them.

Were they very tired at that time? They were rushing all the way to fight Tu Yajie. They were waiting to engage in battle with us. After they lost personnel, the injured went back to spread the news, and the others were already tired.

After their generals understood the situation, they urgently withdrew their troops to avoid being defeated one by one..."

Zhu Wentian talked about the other party's problem. The other party did not rest and might even have been on a forced march before.

When a war breaks out, as the troops are withdrawn, they continue to consume physical energy and become more mentally exhausted.

Once the casualties of the previous battle were known, the generals would not have time to stop the spread of the news. They would be hungry, tired, scared and confused. Do they need to rest first?
If you don't rest and run in the afternoon, you will not be able to keep up with the group.

Not to mention fighting, during normal running training, a normal person would run thirty laps around a playground that is 400 meters in circumference.

When you start running, you can adjust the speed and change the speed back and forth for fun. While running, if there is an extra person in front of you who is getting in the way, it will feel very uncomfortable to go around it.

When I ran to the back, my whole consciousness was blurred and I had to rely on my will to support myself.

At that moment, someone suddenly ran over and pushed me. I couldn't react at all and staggered and fell to the ground.

Unless you are training for a marathon, is it really that easy to run 12 kilometers?
When jogging, you should not run too long a distance at a time, as this will cause great harm to the knee joints, as most of the body weight is placed on the knee joints again and again.

For those who run marathons, their pace is fast and their legs are stretched while running, which puts less pressure on the knee joints than jogging.

Of course, at present, the armies of both sides are not considering problems with knees, ankles or ligaments, but are considering the degree of physical fatigue.

"Eh?" The head of the village was stunned. "Yes! I'll go out and talk to General Xu."

He left after saying a few words, and came back not long after, followed by Xu Da and Zhao Yao.

"The village head's place is still the best. Oh! It's Hanhan. Hanhan is serving kebabs. It's just right for the two of us to come uninvited."

Xu Da seemed to casually glance around Hanhan's "room" and saw Hanhan grilling skewers there!

On the small table next to them were three wine glasses, three pairs of chopsticks, and three plates. There was half a cup of beer in the wine glasses, and the chopsticks had been dipped in the dry seasoning on the plates, and it seemed that they had been touched as well.

According to common sense, I was stopped when I came here, the people from Xiaqiu Village wanted to inform them, and Zhu Yichang happened to come out to talk to me about something.

He and Zhao Yao came in, and there was someone he was hiding from...

"Sit down, let's sit down. I'll get two more sets of tableware. Hanhan has a problem. He likes to use two sets of tableware when eating..."

The head of the village invited Xu Da and Zhao Yao to sit down. He explained while taking the tableware.

Xu Da and Zhao Yao: "..."

Zhu Wentian smiled and nodded at the two people, flipping the skewers. He did not sprinkle the seasoning directly on the skewers.

It's not that he doesn't want to waste it, but the smoke is heavy and he needs to sleep at night! He can't have the smell of cumin all the time he breathes, right?
The head of the village quickly brought two sets of tableware and placed them on the table without asking the other party to wash their hands. There was no need to go through so much trouble, so he did not wash his hands. Yes, he did not wash his hands when he handed the tableware to others.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Zhao Yao thought quickly and said with a smile, "Yes! Hanhan likes to use two sets of tableware, just like me. I like to hug two women when I sleep. No, I like to cover myself with two quilts."

"Yes, one person, one quilt! Yeah! Hehehehe..." Zhu Wentian continued to smile foolishly to show his understanding.

"No, it's...Okay! Silly, why do you have lamb kidneys? Grill one for me."

Zhao Yao wanted to continue explaining, but finally gave up.

The village head poured wine for the two of them: "I wanted to look for you just now! I was wondering if the Bei Yuan also forced a march during the day, and then..."
