Three Kingdoms New Emperor

Chapter 373 The Difficult Camp Robbery

"Decree, the whole army will continue to move forward, [-]% slower than the normal march." Zhang Xi issued instructions, but seeing those behind him who received the order, they either looked confused, or looked angry, or pretended not to understand. The generals of the Montenegrin Army, who understood, suddenly felt a very painful feeling inexplicably in their hearts.That feeling made him more uncomfortable than Zhao Yun stabbing his arm.

So, he had to sigh again: "Forget it, just keep marching normally."

Therefore, his order was exchanged for Zhang Leigong's loud cynicism: "After talking for a long time, it turned out to be nonsense! It's not like going to rob a camp when it's dark. It's not like we haven't done this kind of thing before, and we still use it." Are you here to give me pointers?"

Zhang Xi didn't have any temper at this time. In fact, at this time, he felt like a lecturer among a wealthy family, facing a group of ignorant and mischievous children-that kind of explanation and explanation He was bored with not being able to understand, being able to explain, but not listening to others, which made his heart feel hot and anxious as if he was being tormented by a dry fire.

The camp was robbed in the dark, it sounds like things are indeed very simple.But to complete a perfect camp robbery battle, it is not as simple as just relying on soldiers rushing forward.

First of all, there needs to be scouts running back and forth constantly to gather the situation around them to the general.Then the master will accurately judge how far he is from his destination based on these messages, and when he will arrive at his destination.

Secondly, most of the soldiers in the Han Dynasty were not professional arms, and they still kept the biological clock of farmers working at sunrise and resting at sunset.But don't forget, the same goes for your team.Therefore, in addition to the marching speed, you must also consider the rest of your own army.

At the same time, in this era, most people suffer from night blindness.Therefore, when robbing the camp, torches are absolutely indispensable.But because of this, it is necessary to determine when the torch can be lit, so as not to let the enemy camp find the trace before doing it.

The rest, such as how this mixed infantry and cavalry team will attack in a rhythmic manner, from what direction, how to deal with enemy resistance, etc., also need to be taken into consideration... and only these are just self-made troops. It is just the preparation work, and we need to know as much as possible whether there are trenches and secret posts in the enemy camp on the opposite side, who the night watchman is, how the enemy camp is arranged, etc.

However, in the eyes of the black mountain thief, these things seemed to be blank.They don't think about it, and they don't plan it, it's so simple that it's ridiculous.It seems that for them, robbing the camp is just rushing in front of the enemy camp and shouting "follow me" again.

The order to move on reached every soldier, and there was another murmur from the ranks.The discipline of the black bandits was almost zero, and many of them were forcibly captured during the day. When they heard that they were going to march at night, they were naturally full of complaints.

Only Zhang Xi's direct troops were silent, as if they had long been accustomed to the coach's style.Fortunately, this march was not in a hurry. After the Montenegrin generals reprimanded them a few times, these soldiers resumed their sheep-like nature and moved forward with strides.

When the time entered midnight, the scouts reported to Zhang Yun that the Han Dynasty camp was camped in a mountain depression ten miles ahead.Zhang He immediately ordered the whole army to string their bows, unhook their spears, unhook their shields from their backs, hold them in their hands, and turn to the battle state-yes, he had to give such a detailed order of "entering the battle" in order to be able to do so. Let these black mountain thieves understand what it means to be ready for battle.

Fortunately, at this time, the sheep nature of the army brought good results. None of them dared to vent their anger before the battle, which gave the whole army's stealth a taste of an elite.Well... the premise is that their scattered march is ignored.

Half an hour later, Zhang He felt that his prayers to God had been answered, and the army was finally lurking safely a mile away from the Han Dynasty camp.Zhang He stared intently at the big camp of the Han Dynasty, and saw that the camp was brightly lit and crowded with people, except for the sound of Diao Dou telling the time, there was no noise from the soldiers in the whole camp.

This situation made Zhang He frowned slightly, and his expression instantly became both surprised and happy: to his delight, everything in the Han Dynasty camp seemed to be normal, and there was no sign of knowing that he would come to make a surprise attack tonight.

But to my surprise, the situation in front of me is exactly the effect that can only be achieved by experienced soldiers-bright lights prevent the soldiers from night blindness, and there are many people who are responsible for night watch patrols. , It is the scouts and dark sentries of the Han army who are preventing the invading army according to the established range.

This is obviously a very difficult bone to chew, especially for myself who used black bandits as teeth this time.

"General Zhang, what's the matter?" Yu Du approached Zhang He quietly, and asked Zhang He with bad breath.

Zhang Yun frowned, but then managed to force a smile: Not all the black bandits are idiots.At the very least, it seems that Poison still has a little bit of potential to become a general.After several days of contact, Zhang Xi found that this person had been secretly observing how he was commanding and deploying.Moreover, this person is also a brave general among the yellow scarf thieves, who is as famous as Guan Hai and Zhou Cang, so Zhang Yun deserves a high look.

"The Han army in this camp is the elite of hundreds of battles. It seems that we are going to start a backup plan." Zhang Yun replied lightly, and then turned his attention to the Han army camp.

Zhang Xi did have a slight liking for Poison, but that was just a matter of choosing a general from among the cripples.After all, they were not from the same class, and Zhang He didn't bother to explain too much to Yu Du.

As a result, Yu Du asked Zhang Xi in surprise, "Do we have a second plan of action?"

Zhang Yun unconsciously grasped the loess in his hand, and then exhaled a long breath, then gritted his teeth and replied with twisted face: "Everything is done before it is done, and if it is not done, it will be abandoned. Of course we have a second plan!"

In the face of this battle where the merits and crimes will be defeated, Zhang He will naturally go all out.According to the strength of the Han army, he had already made two plans.

If the Han army was as loose and disorganized as the Heishan bandits, he would not have united with Sui Gu in Hanoi and directly led the Heishan bandits to attack the Han camp.When the Hanoi city is in chaos, rush into the city again;
If the Han army was elite and well-prepared, he would wait for the city of Hanoi to be in chaos, and then rush out suddenly, beating the Han army by surprise, and rushing into the city of Hanoi.

For Zhang Xi, he was naturally looking forward to the first situation.Although Suigu has the title of "Sly Rabbit" among the black bandits, after Zhang Xi saw the real situation of the black bandits, he had no hope for Sui Gu.

But the most painful thing is that this time, Zhang He had to pray that Sui Gu could live up to its name.At the very least, there must be some commotion in the city of Hanoi.

The cool wind at night blew Zhang He's temples slightly, but it couldn't blow away the anxiety in Zhang He's heart.He stared at the camp of the Han army without blinking, dormant and waiting, like a very hungry beast waiting for his blood-red eyes to hide in the grass.

Suddenly, a strong night wind blew, captivating Zhang He's eyes.He beat the dust angrily, but suddenly an alarm bell rang in his heart, and he suddenly smelled an ominous smell: Hanying, it's so quiet, it's a bit weirdly quiet!
Zhang Xi quickly calculated in his mind again, and found that the Han camp in front of him was indeed a camp that could accommodate ten thousand people, and there was no shortage of patrols in the camp.But why half an hour passed, and the soldiers on the sentry tower didn't even move?
Once this ominous thought entered Zhang Xi's mind, his intuition as a general immediately started to activate: "Scout, scout! Come back quickly and report the news."

Zhang He shouted three times to the guards around him, and the guards left one by one, but still did not bring any scouts.And when Zhang Yun became more and more uneasy, he suddenly felt a faint tremor from the ground lying on his chest and abdomen.

That trembling was not the rumble of cavalry galloping, but more like the sound of countless ants migrating.It was so dense that the scalp started to explode.

"No, we've been tricked!" Zhang He didn't look at it, jumped up and shouted, "Get ready to fight!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sudden change.

A glaring light exploded in the endless night, and then turned into a skyrocketing flame!

Zhang He looked towards the flames in shock, and the Han camp in front of him instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames. The blazing flames completely blocked the way for his own army to escape—it was only at this time that Zhang He realized that he had entered a dead zone. !
Afterwards, the piercing sounds of interlacing weapons, the shouts and screams of soldiers were intertwined noisyly, and suddenly sounded from behind.

The Han army's surprise attack has already begun.
