People in the Three Kingdoms: Starting from Preaching

Chapter 425 Sleepless Night
"alert!"

Late at night, whistles sounded in the Yellow Turban camp, and the soldiers began to assemble and prepare one after another under the order. Of course, these were only the garrison troops that performed guard duties at night, and most of the other soldiers were still resting.

Even if there is an emergency at night, the military camp will not be alarmed. They naturally have their own handling mechanism. Otherwise, the whole army will react if there is any movement, and the army will not have to rest.

Even if there is an enemy attack, the on-duty troops will be able to cope with the crisis in the first place if they remain sufficiently alert, and there will not be any major problems.

Most of the soldiers were still resting, but the generals in the army could not relax. They were responsible for the safety of the army and were the most nervous people at this time.

Soon, generals such as Wang Dang, Taishi Ci and others came out of their tents. They discovered the situation at the first moment. They saw bursts of red light in the sky above Jinyang City in the distance in the dark night, and there were faint noisy noises coming from them.

"What happened?" Taishi Ci looked a little excited. Although he didn't know what happened specifically, this kind of movement was definitely not a good thing for the Wei army, but it was a good thing for the Yellow Turbans.

Wang Dang ran to the watchtower without hesitation: "Immediately let the generals come to my place for a meeting!"

After saying this, Wang Dang ran away first, and Taishi Ci followed closely. The soldiers below were looking for the general in the barracks to convey orders.

Soon, Wang Dang and Taishi Ci arrived at the watchtower, but when they ran up, they found that there was already someone standing there, and it was Ju Su who was holding a telescope.

Hearing the noise, Ju Su looked back and shook his head: "Generals, there is no need to look. It is hard to see at night. You can't see anything here."

When Wang Dang Taishi Ci heard this, he subconsciously looked into the distance. There was really nothing to see in front of him except the bursts of red lights in the city. After all, it was night and the watchtower was of almost no use.

Afterwards, several people went down, and before they could say anything, the generals from other places also arrived.

"There must be something going on in the city. This is our army's chance. I suggest we send out troops to test the situation immediately. If we can find out the truth, we can take the opportunity to attack and perhaps defeat the enemy!" Taishi Ci couldn't wait to speak first when everyone was present. You could tell from his excited eyes that he couldn't wait any longer.

However, when Wang Dang heard this, he frowned, as if he was lost in thought and unable to make a decision for a while.

The other generals looked at the situation in Jinyang City for a while and also fell silent. They were obviously making their own judgments. Taishi Ci's proposal was not responded to immediately.

"I think that our army does not know the strength of the city, so it is better not to act rashly. No one knows whether this is a trap set by the Wei army to lure us." Soon, someone started talking.

As soon as this was said, someone else said, "That's right. Our army only needs to stay put and stay alert to win. There is no need to take any high-risk actions."

Another general stepped forward and said, "Yes, the situation has become clear now. It won't be long before the Wei army can hold on. It's them, not us, who should be anxious now."

Taishi Ci frowned. Everyone's opinions did not match his. Although he wanted to say something, these reasons were sufficient enough.

From a rational point of view, keeping the troops in place is the best option. Taking risks is always an option chosen by the disadvantaged party. There is really no need for the Yellow Turbans to act rashly.

After some discussion, everyone turned their attention to Wang Dang. At this time, only Wang Dang, the head coach, had the power to make decisions.

However, Wang Dang did not make a decision immediately, but asked in a deep voice: "What I am wondering is what could have caused such a commotion in the city at this time."

Someone said, "If the Wei army took the initiative to set an ambush, it would not be difficult to make a noise." Wang Dang shook his head and said, "What if it was not an ambush by the Wei army, but something really happened in the city, what could it be?"

Everyone was stunned and started thinking about it.

Soon, their faces became a little solemn. If they thought in this direction, then this matter could not simply consider the tactical response of the army.

If this noise is not false, then there are only two possible events: one is a mutiny among the Wei army, and the other is a riot in the city, which leads to the Wei army's suppression.

At this time, Ju Shou finally spoke up: "Cao Cao was also a powerful leader at the time, and there were no serious factional conflicts within the Wei army. Even if they are in an unfavorable situation now, the army will not be in turmoil."

Everyone nodded in agreement. This judgment was basically in line with their thoughts.

In this case, the most likely scenario is that there will be a large-scale resistance among the people in the city, otherwise there would not be such a big commotion.

Taishi Ci's eyes lit up. "The reason why our army is so confident in attacking is that the people in the city are deeply resentful. The more military pressure we exert, the more the Wei army will oppress the people. There will always be a time when the people can no longer bear the oppression. I think this is the case in the city right now!"

This time, even the other generals were moved.

In fact, this is indeed something that is very likely to happen. If this is true, then whether for the sake of war or for the purpose of rescuing the people, the Yellow Turbans have to take action.

Wang Dang paced back and forth in front of them, still unable to make a decision.

Taishi Ci advised again: "General, the opportunity will not come again. There is no need to hesitate. I, Taishi Ci, am willing to lead the charge and break through the gate. I will definitely defeat them in one fell swoop!"

Ju Su pondered for a long time, and then he made a judgment: "I think we can give it a try. Even if the enemy really set an ambush, our army can fully anticipate and test it, and then decide on the follow-up actions according to the situation."

Following the two men's words, the attitudes of the other generals changed, and they gradually tended to send troops.

The discussion was not fast, but it was definitely not slow either. Wang Dang stopped and looked at the red light in the city, and finally nodded.

"As long as there is a possibility that the Wei army is suppressing the people, we cannot sit idly by. If it is true, we cannot waste time. Taishi Ci, you will lead 3,000 soldiers to attack first. Once we find out the strength of the city, if necessary, our rear army will attack with all our strength!"

Taishi Ci was shocked, and then he laughed: "I obey your orders!"

Then Wang Dang looked at the other generals and said, "The situation has changed tonight. Our army will launch a general attack at any time. Immediately wake up the entire army and be on alert."

All the generals responded loudly, and then dispersed to prepare for the battle. Soon the Yellow Turban camp became lively from its silence. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

After all the generals had left, Wang Dang looked intently towards Jinyang, unable to calm down. He knew that tonight might be the key to the war.
