MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2731 worst accident

  Chapter 2731 The worst accident

  Surrounded by two ordinary soldiers, standing on the observation tower of the barracks, Chang Cheng watched with a little pride and joy as the horse thieves camped "in a hurry" in the distance.

  『It’s still Sima who has the foresight! If we were in a hurry, wouldn't we just run into these horse thieves? It would be bad if he was attacked by horse thieves on the way! 』

  『Look, those horse thieves don’t know how to build a camp at all! Sima really had a clever plan, and immediately exposed the horse thief's shortcomings! 』

  『That’s right! 』

  『That’s right, that’s right! 』

  Although Chang Cheng came to pretend to be Sima as a military lord, everyone called him Sima, just like the boss who met in the company later, regardless of whether it was the boss or the boss.

  Chang Cheng tried his best to maintain his smile, not to smile too wildly, but the corners of his mouth were somewhat twisted, "I said... no, it was General Wei who often taught us that we should not be careless about this matter of soldiers!" So be careful, what's the problem? You see, isn't this a living example? If you are not careful, you will suffer! 』

"Yes Yes! 』

"Yep! 』

  『Sima is right! 』

  This kind of flattering atmosphere made Gao Shun feel very bored, but Chang Cheng enjoyed it.

  In such an atmosphere, Chang Cheng felt like a fish out of water, so uncomfortable.

  『You, go back immediately and report to General Wei that we have encountered the former army of horse thieves! We will fight to the death with all our might, and we will be able to keep the city of Xihai and the peace of the people! Please rest assured, General Wei and the lord! Chang Cheng pointed to the person who was at the back and said, "You must say these words clearly!" There is no shortage of half a sentence! In addition, go and apply for some military supplies, food and grass...』

  Chang Cheng didn't feel at all that there was anything wrong with putting Wei Xu's name in front of Lu Bu, and the people around him didn't seem to think there was anything wrong either.

  The little sergeant that Chang Cheng pointed at was usually less flattering.

  Chang Cheng couldn't remember all the nodding and bowing military academy soldiers around him, but he could remember those who didn't flatter him.

Wei Xu just sent someone to reprimand him, and now he sends someone back, even if they say good things, it may not be able to please Wei Xu, and he is a sergeant who is not very good at talking, which makes Chang Cheng even more angry. I will rest assured.

The little sergeant really didn't know how to speak, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said with some hesitation: "Well, Sima, we... We just left not too far away, and there are still a lot of food and supplies in the army... 』

  What is this Sima? Is it impossible to return that Sima?

  Chang Cheng frowned, "What's your name?" Zhang Tianyu? Or Zhang Disheng? What's the matter, didn't you follow the military order? ! Otherwise, you will be the Sima? how? 』

  『Small ones dare not! Go here, little one! 』The sergeant apologized again and again, and then hurriedly got off the guard tower.

  Chang Cheng snorted, then continued to look at the horse thief in the distance.

   These guys, how do they understand the importance of reporting to their bosses?

  Even if the boss looks bad, he should report it in time.

   If I don’t report in time, how can my boss know my hard work and achievements?

   If you don’t report frequently, how can you ask for more things and get more benefits?

   Things have to be done, and benefits have to be taken. This is Chang Cheng's most correct attitude!

  『By the way, why did these horse thieves come here? Isn't there General Gao in front? Suddenly someone asked.

   It seems that at this moment, someone remembered that their coach is not Chang Cheng, but Gao Shun.

  『General Gao, this...is something wrong? ’ said another.

problem occurs?

Chang Cheng shook his head, sighed and said, "Maybe I missed it, General Gao... Hmm, I'm more impatient, this place is not necessarily familiar, I took the wrong road, and missed it with the horse thief, it's not impossible..." He can only say this, because if he also agrees that something happened to Gao Shun, as an adjutant, he needs to go to rescue Gao Shun, otherwise he will be guilty. Now just say that Gao Shun went out without authorization, lost his way and lost his time, etc. Naturally, nothing happened to Chang Cheng.

  However, why didn't Gao Shun meet these horse thieves?

   Will something really happen?

...

  Hey, what if something happened, wouldn't it be better?

   Then don't all the meritorious deeds belong to him?

  Chang Cheng suddenly felt a golden light flashing in front of his eyes, as if he saw a gorgeous smooth road.

"Come on! Discuss! The focus now is how we deal with these horse thieves! 』

  Chang Cheng suddenly became energetic, "I have made a decision, but I still have to test you... Come on, let's talk about it, how should I deal with it?" 』

  If there were thousands of horse thieves, Chang Cheng would definitely feel afraid, but when he was the party with a large number of people, and there were only two or three hundred horse thieves, Chang Cheng would naturally not feel any fear.

  Chang Cheng said it as if he had a plan, but in fact he didn't have any ideas.

Others may think that he must have learned a lot of military skills and combat experience when he was with General Wei Xu. He often brags about what he learned from General Wei Xu, but he knows that he has no knowledge of the above military aspects. I didn’t learn it, but I have accumulated a lot of skills in serving others.

   But after all, you can’t say that you use the means of serving the general to deal with the horse thief, so that the horse thief will die first?

  『This…』 The remaining two sergeants looked at each other, and one of them said cautiously, 『Sima, give me your orders. We will fight as you say! 』

  『Yes, Sima, please give me an order! 』Another person followed.

  Chang Cheng's face sank, "I said it, let you talk about it first!" What, don't you want to say anything? 』

  『This... Then I just talk casually? ’ the sergeant asked hesitantly.

  Chang Cheng nodded.

   The two sergeants looked at each other, and then began to think helplessly.

  『Why don’t we attack at night! After a while, a sergeant suddenly said loudly, as if the louder the voice, the more correct, "This horse thief camp is loose, just like the crotch of the half-closed door, come in casually!" If we touch it directly in the middle of the night, we will definitely be able to kill a thief! 』

  『Yes, yes, night attack! Night attack! The other sergeant also nodded and said, "I heard that the Hussar General also had a lot of night raids before, and they were all big victories!" 』

  Chang Cheng's eyes lit up, yes, night attack, why didn't I think of it?

  『Ahem, it seems that what you think is the same as Sima! This is good, very good! Then let's do it like this, tonight at three o'clock, attack the bandit's camp at night! 』

  Chang Cheng waved his arms vigorously, "I'm waiting for work, the thieves come from afar, as long as one blow is successful, the thieves will be defeated!" At that time, you and I will both have meritorious service, and the general will definitely reward you generously! 』

  The two sergeants looked at each other, and they all agreed.

  Chang Cheng felt that he was amazing and had made a brilliant plan, but what he didn't know was that not all night raids were successful, just like not all generals could be famous generals.

   What Chang Cheng and others didn’t know was that they felt that the example they learned from, the hussar general Fei Qian chose to attack at night because Fei Qian didn’t have many soldiers and horses in the early days...

   If you can take down the girl in an upright manner, who would like to be a serious person who likes to follow her at every turn... Uh, night attack?

  Even Wei Yan, who likes to go sideways, has some conditions before he dares to pat his chest and launch a sneak attack.

  Night attack is a gamble tactic in which the few win the many, and the weak defeat the strong. It not only has certain requirements for soldiers, but also has higher requirements for the generals who lead the team.

Now Chang Cheng has more troops than horse thieves, as long as they face each other head-on, although such a match may be unremarkable and nothing exciting at all, but the more it is clear that they are fighting head-on, the less flaws they will have. After all, on the frontal battlefield, there will always be competition All of them are the bravery of generals, the strength of soldiers and weapons and equipment.

  Chang Cheng's bravery is not worth mentioning, but at least the Han army has more soldiers and equipment than the horse bandits, so Pound will have a headache as long as he fights head-on.

  The advantage of the Han army is the disadvantage of the horse thief.

  While Chang Cheng and others were observing the horse thief camp, Pang De was also staring at Chang Cheng's camp.

  In the eyes of Chang Cheng and others, the camp built by Pound and these horse thieves was full of loopholes, and in the eyes of Pound, the camp built by Chang Cheng was also full of loopholes.

   Pound even wondered if the Han army deliberately left a loophole to lure him to attack.

  But Pang De thought about it again, if he brought 3,000 people, there might be a small number of Han soldiers, and he would have designed a trap, but he didn't bring 300 people now...

   What's going on here?

  Although it is said that the Han soldiers led by Chang Cheng are regular soldiers, it does not mean that these Han soldiers who followed Lu Bu to the Western Regions are as rigorous and serious as the soldiers of Guanzhong Sanfu. As the soul of the army, the general is not only reflected in combat, but also in daily behavior.

  The general has strict requirements, and the subordinate soldiers have strict discipline and norms.

Chang Cheng doesn't know how to pretend to understand. Of course, the soldiers under him are lazy if they can be lazy. Although it is still a barracks set up according to the drill code, everyone thinks it is a temporary barracks. What's the matter?

   Pound noticed that the piles of the Han camp were dry and loose, and seemed to shake when the wind blew. The wooden stakes around these camps should be nailed into the ground, but in order to save some effort, the pawns should be pressed into the soil to finish the job, especially in the current dry climate, the ground is extremely hard, how much effort it will take to press into the soil ah?

   These were originally the scope of inspection by the generals in the army, but Chang Cheng didn't understand these, so he couldn't check anything.

  Chang Cheng felt that everything was fine, and there was nothing unusual about it.

   Pound had some doubts. He felt that the Han soldiers should not be so lazy. How long has it been since Lu Bu traversed the Western Regions and made all the states in the Western Regions kowtow?

  But recalling what he had seen and heard in the forward camp, and the current problems that seemed to have never arisen at all, Pound thought for a long time, and finally seemed to understand something...

  Pang De quickly adjusted his plan, from luring the Han army to attack, to making the same decision as Chang Cheng.

  Night attack.

  …(￣o￣).zZ…

   On the other side, Gao Shun had a dream.

  He dreamed that he was riding a lame horse, walking slowly in the battlefield.

  The war horse seemed to be injured, limp and limp.

  Even Gao Shun himself seemed injured.

  Blood flowed down the eyelids, making everything in front of him seem bright red.

  Gao Shun turned his head and looked at the soldiers who followed him, they seemed to be also stained in blood, they seemed to be equally exhausted and on the verge of death.

  Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes came from a distance!

  『How dare you recite something! 』

  Gao Shun looked up, but saw Lu Bu rushing towards him with an angry face, swung Fang Tian's painted halberd and chopped it down!

  Gao Shun wanted to raise the spear to resist, but found that his hands and feet were weak, and he couldn't lift the spear at all. He could only watch Fang Tian's painted halberd roaring down in the blood-colored sky!

   At the moment Fang Tian's painted halberd fell, Gao Shun woke up suddenly, feeling cold sweat dripping down his back.

  『General, what’s wrong with you, General? 』

  The guards around seemed to see Gao Shun's abnormality, so he asked.

  Gao Shun calmed down, "It's okay...it's okay, by the way, haven't the scouts who went out to detect the horse thief master returned yet?" 』

   Just as the guard was about to answer, he heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and then couldn't help but change his expression, and listened to the night, "It seems to be our people..."

Although the scouts tied the sound-reducing sackcloth on the horse's hooves in order to keep secret, there were still some movements at night in the desert wilderness. I heard it right away.

Gao Shun stretched out his hand to support the ground, wanting to stand up, but he didn't expect his palm to touch a sharp hard rock, so he shrank subconsciously, resulting in losing his center of gravity. Clinging to the ground, I might fall on that sharp hard rock...

what happened?

  When I just fell asleep, I seemed to check my surroundings.

   Could it be that I was negligent?

  Gao Shun just wanted to think about it, but the news reported by the scouts who came back disrupted his train of thought.

  『Report to General! found it! The scout said excitedly, "We have found the position of the horse thief leader!" 』

"Say it! Gao Shun asked, "How far is the distance and how many people are there?" 』

On the one hand, Gao Shun wanted to avoid the horse thieves' search, and on the other hand, he had to hang on the flanks of the horse thieves and others. He could neither go too far nor get too close. Guards, he may not be able to lead people to do such a delicate operation.

And at the beginning, it was actually not smooth, because when Matthew and others were marching, although there was no way to have meteor scouts and scouts to open the way like the regular army, the chaotic horse thieves to some extent In fact, it is equivalent to a little bit of scouting function, and of course it is impossible to erect the huge "Walking for the Heaven" banner when rushing on the road, so when Matthew and the others stopped, they seemed to be discussing, or While waiting for something, the scouts sent by Gao Shun were the ones who really confirmed the location of Matthew.

  『Do you really want to come to Xihai City? 』Gao Shun frowned slightly after listening to the scout's report.

  Gao Shun felt that this was a bit weird.

The first time he heard the horse thief say this, Gao Shun didn't really believe it. At that time, he told Chang Cheng that he wanted to scare Chang Cheng to some extent, thinking that it would be best to scare Chang Cheng back to Xihai City. , but I didn't expect Chang Cheng to hold on.

   It must be normal to hear that there are horse thieves looting in the wild, but who has heard that horse thieves will attack the city head-on?

  Gao Shun felt that it was probably the horse thief bragging, a bit like a suspicious strategy, so Gao Shun and the others dared not come out with a feint shot, and then the horse thief could retreat calmly.

  So Gao Shun did the opposite, let the horse thief's front army pass, and was going to catch the horse thief leader by surprise. After all, as long as some horse thieves retreat, the hearts of horse thieves will inevitably disperse. Even if there are many people at that time, most of them will be like sheep. But Gao Shun didn't expect that the main body of the horse thief not only did not leave and retreat, but actually moved towards Xihai City.

   Among them, there must be some changes.

  Could it be...

   Gao Shun thought about it, and he thought of two possibilities.

  One is that not all of these horse thieves are horse thieves, and it is very likely that they have been mixed with other Western Regions, or even Anxi Guishuang.

  The other one is that the horse thief feels that he is sure to attack Xihai City, or is there an internal response from the horse thief in Xihai City who ambushed in advance?

  Gao Shun thought about it for a long time, and felt that both were possible.

  『Come on! Gao Shun quickly wrote down the two possibilities he was thinking about, and then sent someone to Chang Cheng's place in the rear, asking Chang Cheng to pass the news to Xihai City immediately and report it to Lu Bu.

  Although he and Chang Cheng didn't get along very well, and there was even a quarrel between them, Gao Shun finally gave in. He came to fight, not to quarrel with Lu Bu or Lu Bu's men. So in the end, Gao Shun gave up on the deep investigation, and simply went out with his own troops.

  Although Gao Shun let go of a group of horse thieves, how could Gao Shun have imagined that Chang Cheng would not even be able to defeat two or three hundred horse thieves with nearly a thousand people? Gao Shun felt that under normal circumstances, even if Chang Cheng didn't do a good job of detecting when he was marching in the field, and then bumped into him accidentally, and adjusted the queue a little, the horse thief would only be defeated.

  If you stand up and stick to it, let alone, even a pig can probably beat it.

  The orderly left.

  『General, we are now...』 Seeing that there seemed to be a new incident, Gao Shun’s guards asked softly, 『What should we do? Do you want to go back? 』

  Gao Shun didn't answer, but asked the guards to check how many supplies and food were left in the army, then calculated the distance between himself and the horse thief, and deduced the relevant battle situation.

  『General, there is still some dry food, about seven or eight days’ worth, but there is not much water... 』The guard came back and reported, 『It was originally scheduled to go to the next water source tomorrow morning to replenish it...』

  Gao Shun nodded, looked up at the sky, "Send the order, wake up brother, don't wait for tomorrow, get ready to go now." We have to rush to the next water source first! Then look for an opportunity to strike first! 』

Gao Shun didn't like to back down. When he was training his soldiers, he often said that he had the ambition to fall into the battle, and he would never retreat. Now he is the same way. Even if he can't make a surprise attack and kill the general, he can still carry out a military investigation to find out the sudden attack of the horse thief. The accident, the fall of the Qianfeng Battalion, what happened!
