Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 379: Clamping the Horse with a Bit

In the afternoon at the end of August, it is the hottest time of the day, and people often just want the cat to rest in the shade.

The climate in Jieting is slightly more comfortable than that in Shuzhong, but the temperature difference here is quite large, and it gets very hot during the day.

After Liu Chan gave the order, there was a commotion in the small town of Jieting. At first, a burst of cheers broke out from the Red Star Army station, one after another, and it was impossible to suppress it.

It was as if they were not tasked with fighting, and might even be injured or killed, but more like gold suddenly falling from the sky...

The fanaticism of these people made other Han troops under Meng Yan's command couldn't help but look askance.

"...What's going on?" A soldier stuck his head out and looked in the direction of the Red Star Army barracks in confusion.

"It's no wonder that those guys must have howled with excitement after hearing the order..."

"Excited?" This soldier has only been in the army for a short time. This is the first time he has participated in a war in the Northern Expedition. "What's so exciting about a night attack? Now I'm only worried about whether I can come back alive..."

Another veteran was arranging his armored soldiers, looking much more calm. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "Hey, those are ruthless people who take the enemy's life more than their own life, and even less their own life. Can they be the same as us?

"Those brats outside the city insult the prince every day. Even you and I are furious. How can they stand it? I'm afraid they have wanted to fight in the city for a long time. Now that they get what they want, isn't it exciting?"

The recruit trembled: "What a weirdo."

"It's not strange to say that." The veteran said with envy, "If I could join the Red Star Army, my life would be nothing to regret..."

At this time, the third person laughed out loud: "Haha, come on. With your two attacks, anyone can take care of you with one hand. Don't even think about it in this life."

"You are so ridiculous! Don't think I don't know. At that time, the prince personally expanded the army, and you signed up. Why are you here now?"

"Don't expose others' shortcomings!"

"How are you doing?"

The corps commander who happened to walk in at this time yelled: "What are you arguing about? Do you want to be punished by military law?"

……

Although Liu Chan ordered to recharge his batteries, he himself was not sleepy.

Since his physique reached [Dragon Spirit and Tiger Strength], even his sleep quality has been greatly improved.

And this is just the "younger version" of [Dragon and Tiger]. As he grows older, his physical fitness in all aspects is still growing towards the peak every day.

Even now, after a good night's rest, it's okay to stay up all day and all night.

At most, it's a little sleepy.

He was currently patrolling various Han camps.

Liu Chan had many considerations in choosing a night attack, but the prerequisite was the generally excellent night vision of Red Star Army soldiers.

Without this as a foundation, a hasty night attack would be a joke. If you each carry a torch and leave the city, the enemy's corner tower will be discovered early.

If you don’t light a torch, you might get into trouble while walking.

The Red Star Army, which had better night vision than other soldiers, took the lead, making night attacks possible.

The enemy troops are all cavalry. If they are allowed to mount their horses calmly, distance themselves and then charge back, it will be enough to kill the infantry who take the initiative.

But night attacks are different. If they can cause confusion to the opponent, they may be able to reap unexpected results.

Even if Zhang He is a famous general and has elite cavalry under his command, if someone breaks into the camp in the middle of the night and blows up the camp, it will be difficult to organize effectively.

Liu Chan was planning as he walked, wanting to eat Zhang He's thousands of horses.

Yes, eat it.

As the war progressed, he had initially resisted Zhang He and completed the destruction of Long, and gradually became interested in Guanzhong.

In the past, he focused on capturing Yongliang because he judged that Guanzhong was difficult to defeat.

But things are different now. The war on the Western Front is going so smoothly, and Cao Wei's reinforcements are much smaller than in history because they are conquering Wu.

If Zhang He's elite cavalry can be captured and a large number of troops can be mobilized to form a pincer attack from the north and the south, perhaps it is not completely impossible to seize Qinchuan.

After all, in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, the biggest threat to him is Cao Wei's elite cavalry, which comes and goes like the wind.

"Oh--"

Ok?

Liu Chan, who was thinking in his mind, was interrupted by a burst of cheers. He followed the sound and found that it was indeed the direction of the Red Star Military Camp.

"These bastards." Liu Chan scolded with a smile and strode over.

……

Choking!

"Quiet!" Ding Feng pulled out his new gleaming sword and pointed it at the sky, shouting, and then suppressed the noise in the military camp.

Today is destined to be the worst day for military discipline since the formation of the Red Star Army. But Ding Feng can understand that he himself wants to howl along with it... so he has no intention of going online.

"Go quickly! Let the prince see it. If I am punished, none of you will be able to escape!"

The Red Star Army soldiers then returned to their barracks.

After everyone dispersed, Ding Feng turned around to leave, only to find a familiar figure standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.

"It's bad, it killed me..."

Seeing Liu Chan approaching, Ding Feng's heart beat loudly, and he immediately trotted up to Liu Chan and gave a standard fist-holding salute: "I will see the crown prince at the end."

"They are all in good spirits." Liu Chan said with a smile, and continued walking to the barracks without stopping.

"Well... the general has neglected his control and deserves to be punished alone." Ding Feng chased Liu Chan in a hurry, fearing that the prince would be angry.

Liu Chan just smiled and said nothing, which made Ding Feng feel anxious.

Although the soldiers returned to the barracks, naturally no one could sleep, not even a little bit!

"It's been more than ten days. Do you know how I have spent these ten days?"

"When we leave the city this time, the heads of those Wei bastards will fall to the ground. I want to see how they scream without their heads!"

"Three thousand elite cavalry is not a small number."

"What, are you scared?"

"Afraid? I'm afraid they won't be enough to kill! Even if I die in battle, my name can still be engraved on a martyr's monument and I will die with my country! But it's better than dying on the bed of old age."

"well said!"

Then a burst of hearty laughter came out.

Liu Chan stayed outside the tent for a moment, but finally turned around and left without going in.

Ding Feng, who had been nervous for a long time behind, was stunned.

Liu Chan's original intention was to let these guys not underestimate the enemy and recharge their batteries.

But now it seems that they all know that Cao Wei Jingqi is different from his previous opponents, and they are even prepared for the worst.

In this case, there is nothing more to say.

All he can do is lead them to victory, so that those who are bound to die will have a worthwhile death.

Midnight watch.

The battalions began to prepare and assemble on time, and then the army left the city, horses clamped, drums silent, and fires silent.

The Red Star Army was in front, and the other Han troops followed closely behind, forming a long snake formation and heading towards the Wei Army's camp.

……

"Ah!" Zhang He suddenly opened his eyes in the Wei army camp.

General Zuo, who was panting rapidly, touched his neck. Nothing happened...

His breathing gradually calmed down, and Zhang He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He had nightmares again. In recent days, he had nightmares about someone slashing his neck with a knife.

Zhang He, who had experienced various battles, was not afraid of Liu Chan in the city. He even wished that he would go out of the city to fight with him, otherwise he would not send people to scold him every day.

It's just that the beheading scene in this nightmare was so real that he couldn't help but wake up every time.

After putting on his coat, Zhang He, who was no longer sleepy, left the tent.

"General!" The soldiers outside the tent clasped their fists and saluted, their voices not sounding sleepy, and they were clearly fulfilling their duties.

"Yes." Zhang He nodded, not surprised by this. He was still very confident in the soldiers under his command.

Looking around, I saw that the Wei army on duty was indeed not slacking off.

As long as he continues to block here and prevent the Shu army from entering the pass, he will definitely be able to wait for the reinforcements brought in by Qi Gong.

Qi Gong showed extraordinary talents when he was taken by the late emperor. Now that he has begun to take action, he will definitely be able to convince the courtiers.

After walking around most of the military camp, Zhang He had already planned to return his account.

When I walked near the stable, I found that the horses were in a different state than before. They had not bowed their heads to fall asleep in the middle of the night. Instead, they kicked their hooves from time to time, seeming a little anxious.

Zhang He frowned, and then his eyes widened as he was experienced in battles...
