Jiuding Military Division 2

Chapter 2 Battle of Pinghe

There is no cold in the spring night, the bright moon is in the sky, the insects are chirping, what a beautiful day, but the soldiers of the state of Kang who are ambushing by the Ping River are not in the mood to appreciate the bright moon above their heads. The color of disgust.As the saying goes, the dark moon kills the night, and the high wind sets the sky on fire.Going for a sneak attack under such a bright moon would still make Zhao Ren laugh to death, and there was not even a breath of wind, it would be neither murder nor arson.

Chi Sheng stared straight at the other side of the river. The cold moonlight illuminated everything brightly, but he couldn't see anything clearly.The general beside him noticed that the chief general's eyes were frozen and empty, and he hadn't moved for a whole meal, and guessed that he was not observing anything but thinking about something.These people have been fighting with him for many years. This is the first time they have seen the general in such a trance before the battle. Everyone is worried about the battle of crossing the river. It will be the courage of the soldiers. If the general loses his fighting spirit, the subordinates The state of mind can be imagined.

At the end of the month, several small schools crossing the river to investigate reported one after another, and found nothing unusual on the other side.

The confidant that Tong Leng sent to supervise the army came to Chi Sheng's side and urged, "The time has come, why hasn't General Chi sent an order to cross the river?"

Chi Sheng glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "Have you ever fought a war?"

That person was just a street rogue before, and he was entrusted with important tasks only because he was an acquaintance with Tong Leng. Chi Sheng's question undoubtedly sounded extremely unhelpful to him. He curled his lips and said, "This doesn't require Chi." Sir, I only know that the military order issued by General Tong is to cross the river in the middle of the night, and those who disobey the order will delay the military aircraft!"

Chi Sheng looked at him coldly and said: "The commander before the battle has to judge the situation. Wouldn't it be a joke if he followed the established strategy to sneak attack tonight when the moon is in the sky? How different is it from sending him to death?"

"You mean... to disobey orders!" The man raised his voice when he said the last few words, "Don't forget, this sneak attack is not the responsibility of your team, the other team upstream may We have already crossed the river, if you disobey the order, General Copper's trick will be ruined in your hands, can you afford it!"

"Great plan, hum, is there any good plan that does not have a contingency strategy?! If General Tong is really good at using troops, even if he is not well versed in astronomy and cannot calculate the brightness of the moon and the darkness of the moon, he should tell us how to deal with it before sending the general. What should I do in time for the moonlight night." Chi Sheng's tone was sarcasm.

"You..., hum! You can guess the magic of General Copper. Maybe General Copper has already decided that tonight will be a bright moon in the sky. With such a moonlight, Zhao Jun must think that we will not sneak attack, so he must be on guard. If you relax, our army will succeed!"

Chi Sheng smiled contemptuously, and said: "If the military adviser plans this way, I, Chi, will not hesitate at all..." As soon as he said this, a lieutenant beside him pulled his shirt hard, and Chi Sheng snorted angrily. After a while, he didn't say any more.

"My lord..., look..." The lieutenant general in La Chisheng's shirt just now looked at him inquiringly, seeing that this stalemate was not an option.

Chi Sheng closed his eyes, his chest was heaving violently, after a while he suddenly opened his eyes, and roared in a low voice, "Cross the river!"

Except for 1000 people left behind by the [-] army, the rest began to cross the river nervously and orderly through the five pontoon bridges erected. He took a deep look at Huazhen beside him, nodded to Mulong again, and then strode towards the pontoon bridge. When he realized that the supervisor was going to follow him across the river, he snorted and said, "You don't have to go, there is We can't afford any mistakes, if you succeed in the sneak attack, you can follow the army across the river."

The supervising army was eager to stay, and quickly said: "That's fine, then I wish General Chi every success."

Chi Sheng didn't even bother to look at him, and quickly stepped onto the floating bridge.

Hua Zhen watched the group of people gradually disappear behind a forest, and his heart hung high. When he turned to look at Mulong, he saw his brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were staring at the opposite bank with a heavy expression on his face.Hua Zhen was not familiar with him, since Chi Sheng said that he was at odds with him, it was inappropriate for him to say anything to him at this moment. Thinking of this, he walked silently under a big tree, on the mat laid by the soldiers He sat down and looked into the distance while thinking about something.

Less than half an hour later, the sound of war drums came from far away. In this silent night, the sound of the drums was very clear even though it was far away. Hua Zhen's heart tightened suddenly, and he jumped up from the ground like a needle prick. His face immediately turned pale, because according to the time calculation, it is impossible for the army to arrive at Jinghe City so quickly, so the sound of war drums undoubtedly announced that they had ambushed halfway.Sure enough, General Chi guessed it right!

The sound of war drums made everyone nervous. These are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. They can also think of what Hua Zhen thought of. Ask Mu Long: "The sound of the drum... the sound of the drum is that General Chi is attacking Jinghe City?" Ask the wood dragon directly.

Pain appeared on Mulong's face, he gritted his teeth and focused on the direction from which the war drum came, without looking at him at all.

The superintendent wanted to get angry, but seeing Mu Long's fierce expression, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and walked up to Hua Zhen's side in embarrassment, wanting to ask, but seeing his immature face, he felt that it was too shameful to ask such a child for advice. So he shut his mouth.

At this moment, the sound of the drums has become one piece from the initial point, Hua Zhen's heart was beating violently with the sound of the drums, and he shouted, "Send someone to investigate!"

Mulong walked over with heavy steps, and replied: "It has been dispatched, so it's too bad."

Hua Zhen swallowed his saliva and looked at him without speaking.

Mu Long turned his head and ordered his subordinates: "Strengthen the sentry, send more people along the river to patrol, and beware of Zhao Jun touching it!"

"What?! How could Zhao Jun..." Supervisor Jun had an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Lord Chi is probably in an ambush. Hmph, my lord has long said that a sneak attack is not a good strategy, but you just can't listen to it. Now you can believe it!" Mu Long stared at him fiercely and asked sharply. A ferocious beast that only chooses and devours people.

The overseer's head was confused, and he didn't understand why Mulong asserted that Chi Sheng and the others were in an ambush just hearing the sound of drums. It can be seen that everyone glared at him. Obviously, everyone had the same judgment as Mulong. If you dare to ask, if you let them know that your supervising army knows nothing about marching and fighting, it will not only be embarrassing, but you may lose your life under public anger, so you have to perfunctory: "This... this... at this moment It’s useless to talk too much, and everything will be clear when the spy reports come back.”

The scout sent out has not returned yet, but Chi Sheng's army's alarm whistle has fled back. The so-called alarm whistle is a kind of whistle that drags behind the brigade for several miles. They don't wear military uniforms but dress up like ordinary people. In addition to whether there is any abnormal situation in the rear, the most important function is to escape back and report the news when ambushing in the army. Because most of the sentries conveyed bad news, they are also called fierce whistles. Those who can act as alarming whistles are not ordinary soldiers. First of all, you must be able to quickly and accurately judge the battle situation after many battles, and secondly, you must be familiar with the generals of all parties, so that you can save the trouble of verifying your identity and avoid being impersonated by the enemy.Sometimes even the generals sitting in the rear will appoint their cronies to act as the alarming whistle of the army in front.

The Fleeing Whistle Pegasus shouted before reaching the river: "It's not good, I'm ambush! The army is ambush!"
