lady, please calm down

Chapter 192
The 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

At Chenshi, the six battalions of the three armies under Caizhou's left-behind division took an oath at the school ground in the south of the city.

Before the expedition, Chen Chu issued a three-kill order:
One, the adulterer is killed.

Two, marauders kill.

Three, kill those who do not obey orders.

This kind of scene talk is a cliché, and some people don't take it seriously.

In the middle of the day, the team set off.

The journey that day was smooth, and at the end of Shenshi, they arrived at the foot of Wufeng Mountain, [-] miles north of Caizhou, and camped.

This kind of marching intensity made the Wuwei Army and the Jing'an Army feel overwhelmed.

After getting the order to set up camp, they lay down in a large area stumbling around.

The commander of the Jing'an Army Zhu Da's Yuhou Gaochong noticed that after the Zhenhuai Army arrived at the camp site, they were still alive and well, setting up camp and setting up the stove in an orderly manner.

In just one hour, a marching camp with deer firewood on the outside and wooden fences on the inside was built, and then the smoke rose from the camp.

Looking at myself again, everyone was tired and paralyzed on the ground, unwilling to move, and was compared to a mob by the friendly army.

Although the Jing'an army is used to laziness, the comparison between the two still makes Gao Chong feel ashamed.

Zhu Da, however, took it very seriously, and said with a smile: "Don't make things difficult for my brothers. It is said that the bandit Ma Bangde has only four or five hundred rioters carrying hoes and sticks. Our three armies and six battalions have two thousand officers and soldiers. They dare to take the initiative to fight tigers." Is it necessary?"

"Your Excellency said so." Gao Chong felt relieved after hearing Zhu Da's analysis.

On the wide ground at the foot of the mountain, the three armies set up a camp in the shape of "pin".

Chen Chu was in the middle, and the Wuwei Army and the Jing'an Army were separated by a mile on the left and right.

Kou Shizhong and Zhu Da had the same idea.

Since the establishment of the army, the Wuwei Army has never had any experience in field combat. The camp was also perfunctory, and only a few symbolic trenches were dug outside the camp to prevent horses.

Unable to adapt to the intensity of today's march, it was night, and the exhausted soldiers of the military guards slept very soundly.

At the beginning of the ugly time.

The cold air hits people, and the stars and the moon are not seen.

In a pine forest on the mountainside, Zhou Liang looked at the barracks at the foot of the mountain, and couldn't help saying triumphantly: "Look, look at my Zhenhuai army, loose inside and tight outside, and the rangers spread out several miles away. Look at the Wuwei army and the Jing'an army. , didn’t even build a wooden fence, and the night sentries were sparse, and they only patrolled the camp. Look, there are still some people hiding and dozing secretly!”

Ma Bangde, who was standing by the side, shrugged habitually, and complimented: "That's natural. Our Zhenhuai army is a first-class strong army in the world. How can rotten gangsters like Wuwei and Jing'an compare with us? Comparable."

"Hehe, old horse, you haven't joined our Zhenhuai army yet, so you're slipping your tongue when you say 'we'."

"Hey, isn't it a matter of time!"

"Hehe, it's almost time, ready to do it."

"Hey, I can't help you this time. Zhou Yuhou will help us explain it to Lord Dutong after we go back."

"Forget it, your people will just follow behind and set fire to the food and grass, and my people will come for the camp."

Speaking of the 'Night Raid', it really wasn't that Ma Bond was playing tricks to protect himself, his people really couldn't cope with such a task.

There is no other reason, it is the same as the iron gallbladder at the beginning, too much night blindness.
When Chen Chu watched the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he was young, he often wondered that the ordinary "night attack" mentioned in the play seemed to be some great conspiracy.

It confuses modern people.

It wasn't until now that Chen Chu understood the difficulty of night raids. At this time, although the degree of night blindness of the sergeants was mild, the proportion was too exaggerated, and almost [-] to [-]% of the sergeants had the disease of 'blindfolded birds'.

Most people can barely see things when the moon and stars are thin in the middle of the month, but at the end of the month and the beginning of the month when the stars are dim, these people are no different from blind people.

The reason why night blindness is so common is also simple, just because of the extreme lack of vitamin and protein intake in daily diet.

So this blindness is also called the poor man's disease.

When the Zhenhuai Army was first established, it also had this problem, but after several months of eating meat and eggs, the sergeant's night vision ability was greatly restored.

In Bilan's Xiang army, having an established team that can fight around the clock day and night is like a trick.

Only with eyesight can we distinguish ourselves from the enemy and see the command flag clearly.

However, this is all fed by large sums of money.

In short, in the eyes of future generations, the "night battle" is not a skill that every army can master.

It's a moment.

Wu Tong, the head of the scout team of the Zhenhuai Army's Personal Battalion, followed the long white-haired mouse to patrol a dense forest. The white-haired mouse in front suddenly raised its hand and stopped.

Wu Tong quickly lowered his body alertly, and looked warily into the woods.

'Cuckoo~cuckoo~cuckoo.'

Immediately there were two long and one short cuckoo chirping in the forest.

'cuckoo~cuckoo~'

The white-haired mouse replied with interest, and then led two night patrol sergeants back. When meeting other patrol sergeants along the way, they would step forward and whisper something.

After a while, all the outposts at the foot of the mountain leading to the military camp of the Wuwei Army were withdrawn to the camp of the Zhenhuai Army.

Gave a way.
Wu Tong was full of doubts, but then he suddenly realized. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, where are the cuckoos in the woods!

Russian hectares.

More than [-] black-clothed men filed out of the forest, and quietly walked towards the camp of the Wuwei Army.

It's the second quarter of the child.

In the deep winter, it suddenly became noisy.

Cao Xiaojian, the military commander, was awakened from his sleep and couldn't help being horrified. He didn't care to put on his boots, and ran barefoot to Chen Chu's Chinese army camp.

"Master Chen! Master Chen, wake up! The bandits are attacking the camp!"

"Raid the camp? Where are the bandits!"

The sleepy Chen Chu rushed out with his knife in hand.

But seeing a raging fire in the southwest corner of the Wuwei military camp one mile away, Chen Dutong's eyes were tearing apart, and he said with great hatred: "What a rampant bandit! He even attacked our army!"

Cao Xiaojian stood barefoot on the frost-covered ground, shivering from the cold, "Master Chen, quickly send the soldiers of the Zhenhuai Army to support!"

Just as Cao Xiaojian finished speaking, Yang Dalang, the commander of the Zhenhuai Army, rushed forward to salute, "My lord, don't act rashly! It's late at night and the enemy's situation is unknown, if our army goes out of the camp indiscriminately, it is inevitable that we will be ambushed by bandits!" If my army is in chaos, it will really be irreparable!"

"This"

Looking at the fire in the Wuwei barracks from a distance, Chen Chu hesitated.

Cao Xiaojian doesn't care about Kou Shizhong's life or death, but as the capital prison, if he loses the battle, he will always be involved.

"grown ups?"

He knew that people like Yang Dalang didn't like him, so they could only look at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu still didn't express his opinion, but looked down at Cao Xiaojian's feet that were frozen blue, then bent down to take off his boots, and handed them over, "Cao Neiguan, it's very cold, put on your boots first to avoid freezing gone."

"Uh"

Cao Xiaojian was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously said: "Then what should my lord do?"

"Hey, we warriors are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. We are all brothers. Don't be pretentious." Chen Chu said indifferently.

"."

Cao Xiaojian couldn't tell what it was like.

A few months ago, he was still a little servant of no rank, and was suddenly promoted to the former eunuch of the sixth rank hall because he was sent to Tongshan to deliver the decree to Zheng Yi.

It can be seen that at that time, the court generally believed that this trip was dangerous, after all, it was only a matter of thought whether Zheng Yi would rebel or not.

If he rebels, Cao Xiaojian will die when he comes.

I don't want to, not only did he not lose his life because of this, but because of a blessing in disguise, he got the official position of the capital prison, and in the subsequent cake sharing meeting, he helped his little master win a lot of money.

Therefore, his perception of Chen Chu was quite good.

At this moment, Chen Dutong was giving up his boots and being a brother, so Cao Xiaojian was very moved.

These internal officials are often flattered and flattered in person, but they are also merciless when others call 'eunuchs' behind their backs.

It is a new experience for Cao Xiaojian to be as equal and respectful as Chen Dutong.

Therefore, Chen Chu's words sounded more reasonable.

"Hey! Cao Neiguan, the military guards are also my subordinates. In this situation, I am very anxious! But what Commander Yang said is right. It is late at night and the enemy's situation is unclear. If there is chaos in our central army, we will fight against you." It’s really the end of the world! We must not rush, we can only wait for dawn before going out to check!”

Chen Chuqing explained sincerely.

"Hey, our family has no military knowledge, since Mr. Chen has made a decision, so be it!"

Cao Xiaojian put on Chen Chu's boots, watched the fire burn more and more in the dark night, and finally couldn't help asking, "Should I just let him burn like this?"

"Hey, that's the only way to go! Naturally, it won't burn after burning."

Chen Chu said helplessly.
