Chapter 2732 The stupidest general
Night falls.
Generally speaking, generals look forward to being able to go to the front line and improve their military command capabilities. However, there are also many people who are eager to stay away from the battlefield. It is best to hide in a place where they will never be injured.
?In the desert, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and the night wind roared unbridled across the Gobi.
The bonfire in the horse thief''s camp was swaying and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
In the camp, Pound clenched his sword tightly and looked at his men who were shivering in the cold wind. Without saying anything, he waved his hand and took the lead in leading the horse into the night, circling from the flank. arrived at the Han army''s camp.
Pound did not do any pre-war mobilization, but his men could only lament, but followed Pound silently. They planned to go around from the back camp gate, which would be relatively safe. The only drawback was that the journey was relatively long.
Just when Pang De set off with his men, in the Han army camp, Chang Cheng wore a suit of armor and stood in front of the queue with his hands behind his back consciously. However, his habitual hunching made his The momentum is inevitably somewhat lacking.
Brothers! Chang Cheng shouted in a low voice, "The time has come to test your training results and show your bravery!" 』
『General Wei, most of the guards are kind to you! The clothes you wear, the food you eat, and the military pay you receive are all given to you by General Wei and the generals. You must know how to be grateful! 』
『As a soldier, you can’t just think about food and money, you must also know how to protect the country and the people! Jingping place! The thieves are right in front of you right now, you need to show your courage to show your worth..."
It took less than a quarter of an hour to assemble the formation, but Chang Cheng''s lecture lasted more than a quarter of an hour. In the end, he divided his two sergeants into two teams, A and B, each leading a team, and also set many reward goals. .
??The first team to break into the horse thieves'' camp will get the prize, how much money will it cost? For those who decapitate horse thieves, how much does each level of decapitation cost? For those who are above level five, the bonus will be increased additionally, and there is no upper limit...
At the end, Chang Cheng looked at the soldiers who seemed to be a little agitated by these awards, and said with a satisfied smile: "How can a mere horse thief block the way of our army?" Tonight is a good opportunity to kill the enemy. Do you have confidence? ! 』
…
The soldiers in the formation couldn''t help but be stunned for a moment. They had hardly seen such a general.
The restlessness is not due to excitement, but because my feet are numb after standing for a long time. I just take the opportunity to move. Does this also ask whether you have confidence or not? If you answer that you are not confident, can you go back to sleep? If not, then what is the answer and why is it necessary to ask?
Ah, yes, yes, have faith! Seeing that the soldiers were in a daze, the sergeant who responded quickly quickly caught Chang Cheng''s words so that Chang Cheng''s words would not fall on the cold ground.
Chang Cheng frowned and said with some dissatisfaction: "How can you be so lackluster?" Um? Why haven''t you had enough to eat? Didn’t I just let you eat it? 』
The sergeant cursed, "Don''t worry about whether you are full or not. If you stand for half an hour and don''t know how to blow the night wind, who can have any energy?" But the words couldn''t be said that way. The sergeant rolled his eyes and whispered: "Sima, we are going to attack at night. Of course we are confident about the night attack, but if we shout louder, won''t the horse thieves wake up?" 』
Oh, yes, yes. ” Only then did Chang Cheng think of this, and he raised his arms with a little embarrassment and waved, “That’s it, let’s go! I''m waiting for you to return victorious! 』
Chang Cheng watched the soldiers walking away, and his smiling face collapsed, "Quick, help me in!" Help me take off my armor! You guys pick on these tattered clothes and armor, they''re strangling me so hard! Go get the brocade clothes quickly! 』
Chang Cheng’s guard hurriedly supported Chang Cheng and defended himself: “Sima, didn’t you just say that you should tighten it tighter to make your belly look smaller...”
『Fangcai is talent! Chang Cheng muttered, "I''m so exhausted...ah...so sleepy. I need to sleep for a while. Don''t bother me. Call me when they come back..."
Guard Chang Cheng responded with a smile: "Don''t worry, Sima!" It''s absolutely fine! 』
??The sergeant who led the soldiers forward found another sergeant and said, "Did Sima just say how to fight?" He talked too much, I can''t remember it all. 』
"This..." another sergeant said, "I just remember how much it costs to rush in first, and the number of heads per person. As for the marching strategy... Hey, who cares, just rush in and finish!" Don’t divide your team into another team. Anyway, when the time comes, whoever says it will win, and the bounty will be half for each person! 』
『I think so! That’s it! ” The sergeant greeted, “Let’s go, let’s go!” You move quickly! Do you still want to listen to Sima’s teachings? ! 』
?Different from Pound''s detour, these Han troops gathered early but moved out late. Then they did not take any cover-up actions and just pounced directly on the horse thieves'' camp.
The horse thief''s camp was set up in a ditch. In front of the crooked camp gate, there were two bonfires that were about to go out, but there was not a single person on duty.
Logically speaking, a more alert commander might have become suspicious at this time, but whether it was because he felt that the horse thieves were so lax, or because they wanted to finish the work early, the two sergeants did not stop at all and went straight to With a shout, everyone rushed up together with them!
There were not many tents in the horse thief camp. They stood here and there, and it seemed that there was some light and shadow shaking. However, after the Han soldiers rushed in, they discovered that it was actually just a clothes rack with wooden sticks propped up inside, with a few broken pieces. The cloth swayed, as if a human figure was swaying in the light of the torch.
The soldiers of the Han army were shouting loudly from the beginning, but now they are looking at each other in shock.
『No one…』
Did they all run away? 』
『What’s going on…』
『People in the back, tell the people in the back to stop shouting, it’s a waste to shout when there’s no one around! 』
Team lead! It''s not us who are shouting! It’s the back…』
『What’s behind? ” The sergeant was very annoyed. He turned his head and his face suddenly turned pale, “Ba camp, what happened to our camp? 』
Only after the shouts of killing in the surrounding area quieted down did these people hear the commotion from their own camp in the distance!
『Back to the army! Return to the army immediately! 』
『We have fallen into a trap, fallen into a trap! 』
Not to mention the panicked Han soldiers who rushed into the air at the horse thieves'' camp, Pang De inside Chang Cheng''s camp was killing everyone.
When Chang Cheng''s men began to attack the horse thieves'' camp, Pang De was also startled, but he quickly adjusted and encouraged his men, saying that there was no point in going back to save the camp now, and it was better to attack directly according to the plan. The Han army''s camp, and the Han army sent men to sneak attack their camp, which means that there are fewer soldiers in the Han army''s camp, which is more conducive to their attack!
These people under Pound are basically blood-thirsty people who almost ignore risks, so to them, Pound''s words are very reasonable, and then under Pound''s leadership, they quickly Rush out of the darkness and attack the Han army''s camp as planned!
?The horn of a horn suddenly sounded, and the deep and shrill sound made Chang Cheng tremble.
At the last moment, Chang Cheng was still immersed in the great excitement of winning, but the next moment Pound''s attack made Chang Cheng feel as if he had just taken off Lady Luck''s little skirt, only to find that Lady Luck had taken out a pair of He was just like a bigger guy. The stimulation was so great that people were stunned and couldn''t react for a long time.
In fact, at this time, Pang De did not dare to go too deep. He also thought that if the Han army counterattacked quickly and violently, he would lead his men to stop at the edge of the camp and turn around to evacuate. Presumably the Han army would not dare to pursue in the dark...
One side felt that it was certain to win and did not even make any plans for possible failure, while the other side prepared a plan for failure but did not use it at all.
Both sides were somewhat surprised, but the unexpected results were different.
The sudden attack of the horse thieves made Chang Cheng panic. Chang Cheng was panicked, and there was no one in the camp to command him. The Han army, which had not received effective instructions, spontaneously blocked and dealt with ordinary horse thieves. The problem may be that There is still a certain chance to restore order, but they are facing Pound...
??Pound carried a heavy long-handled battle ax, slashed and smashed through the outer layer of the Han army''s defense, and rushed into the Han army''s camp to stir up a fight.
Some self-organized Han Chinese teams had little resistance in the face of Pound''s crazy attacks. The horse thieves followed Pound all the way in, and the more they fought, the crazier they became, shouting and screaming wildly. , like a group of evil spirits releasing death and chaos.
『Kill! 』
Pound shook his blood-stained battle ax and shouted loudly.
??The horse thief following him also shouted together, and an excited momentum rose.
?Soon more horse thieves also shouted, and the voices gathered together, making Chang Cheng tremble in fear.
Chang Cheng''s vision was filled with jumping flames, all he could smell in his nose was the smell of blood, and his ears were filled with all kinds of panicked cries!
This is the battlefield?
How terrible!
He saw the vicious Pound.
He opened his mouth, stunned.
He didn’t know what happened, why did things become like this? Where did these horse thieves come from, and how did they appear behind me?
Could it be said that the horse thieves have captured Xihai City?
General Wei Xu thought that horse thieves were scum, Chang Cheng also thought so, and even many Han soldiers in the West Sea thought so, and in most cases this was indeed the case.
The equipment of the horse thieves was not good. Whether it was swords, guns, arrows or armor, they were much inferior to the Han army. Therefore, once the two sides faced each other, the Han soldiers would definitely take advantage. There is almost no doubt about this. Therefore, Chang Cheng also believed that Wei There is nothing wrong with General Xu''s arrangement. The task of recovering the forward camp is actually very simple. The important thing is to keep an eye on Gao Shun, guard against Gao Shun, and frame Gao Shun. The other things are all smooth and can be completed casually. .
?When facing the horse thieves who rushed into the camp, Chang Cheng felt as if his throat had been filled with a big mouthful of sand. It was dry and bitter, and it was difficult to even breathe, let alone issue smooth commands. Fear filled every cell of Chang Cheng, shattering his wonderful dream about the battlefield. In his imaginary battlefield, he was like a feather fan, Lunjin, and the enemy was wiped out in the middle of a joke. He was definitely not like a ghost at the moment, with blood and roar like an evil ghost running rampant!
『Withdraw! retreat! Chang Cheng finally hoarsely gave an order, but his order was not to resist, but to escape, "Protect me!" retreat! Retreat! 』
Escape from here, stay away from death!
?This was the answer Chang Cheng''s remaining instinct told him, and he did so.
It''s just a pity that if Chang Cheng does nothing at this time, it may not attract Pound''s attention...
Pound was looking for anyone who looked like a general in the camp.
?In Pound''s understanding, the Han generals should be under the generals'' flags, but he went to the big tent under the generals'' flags but could not find anyone.
Because Chang Cheng disliked the fact that the big tent was relatively cold due to ventilation, and the big tent was nominally high-end, he went to sleep in his own luxurious and warm small tent.
? Pound immediately began to search for all the characters wearing armor, such as bright light armor, black light armor and other high-level armor, but he couldn''t find them either.
?Because Chang Cheng disliked the way armor strangled his belly, he took off his armor early and changed into a pair of comfortable clothes.
The longer time passed, the more Pound became worried. He had few people. If he could not kill the Han general in one fell swoop and fell into the Han camp, he would be killed when the Han troops who went to attack turned around. Became a disadvantage...
Just when Pang De was a little anxious and hesitating whether to give up at the first sight, Chang Cheng issued an order to withdraw the entire army and ask someone to protect him and escape!
In fact, if Chang Cheng did not escape, Pang De might not be able to find him for a while, but his movement would expose himself invisibly, and Pang De, who was familiar with the Han people''s military flags, immediately stared at the flashing fire. Fuck Chang Cheng!
Pound is overjoyed!
?Chang Cheng was shocked!
『Block him! ” Chang Cheng yelled, as panicked as a helpless girl who met a villain. She didn’t think about resisting or any other method. She just screamed with a crying voice, “Come on! Stop him! 』
?Several Han soldiers obeyed the order and went to intercept Pound, but they were quickly killed by Pound, and they could not even delay Pound for a second.
Chang Cheng was covered in cold sweat, his hands and feet were cold and stiff, and he even started to twitch due to extreme nervousness. He never thought that he had such a problem, so that he could not control his body twisting and hands and feet twitching on horseback. got up.
On the back of a galloping war horse, the most important thing is to maintain balance. At the same time, you can adjust your body''s state and center of gravity according to the ups and downs of the war horse in order to run fast. Once you pull the reins left and right, it will naturally make the war horse think it is about to turn. Or if you want to adjust, of course the running speed will be slowed down.
??The more Chang Cheng saw Pound chasing closer, the more nervous he became. The more nervous he became, the more his hands and feet twitched involuntarily...
『Help, help me! 』
Chang Cheng let out a desperate howl from his throat. He felt as if he was being chased by a wolf and would be torn into pieces the next moment. He screamed and shed tears, as if he wanted to cry and plead. In exchange for God''s favor and mercy on him, his actions could not change anything at all. The shadow of death hung over his head, making him feel suffocated and desperate.
Seeing that the distance seemed to be close enough, Pang De reached out and took out the meteor hammer from his horse, swung it quickly in his hand a few times, and then threw it at Chang Cheng''s back!
The Hu people who have been nomadic all year round have accurate stone-throwing skills. Some shepherds can even accurately hit the stone on the horns of the leading sheep to adjust the direction of the sheep. Although Pang De was not a shepherd, the meteor hammer he threw was still somewhat accurate. It drew an arc in the air and hit Chang Cheng on the back, knocking him off the horse to the ground.
Chang Cheng fell from the horse. Normally, his bodyguards should come to intercept Pound with all their strength, but just like the soldiers under a fierce general, most of them are relatively brave. A general who cherishes life and is greedy for money, most of his guardsmen also cherish their lives. As greedy for money, Chang Cheng was knocked down. The guards around him who had just been recruited were not loyal at all, and they didn''t have any feelings for Chang Cheng. They just pretended not to see him and coaxed him. The sound of running faster than before made Pang De think that he had hit the wrong target...
"Don''t kill me..." Chang Cheng was twisting on the ground, vomiting blood, trying to bribe Pang De, "I, I have money... a lot of money..."
Pang De frowned, "Are you the Han general?" 』
‘No, it’s not...’ Chang Cheng still wanted to lie.
Pang De''s eyes narrowed and fell on the leather bag on Chang Cheng''s waist.
?Chang Cheng realized something was wrong and quickly tried to cover it up.
Pang De thought Chang Cheng was going to take out a dagger or something from his pocket, but without saying a word, he just swung the ax down!
Chang Cheng''s head was like a **** ball. It bounced on the ground twice and then stopped. With his mouth wide open and his face twisted, he seemed to still doubt that the ending of his life should not be like this.
"He is really the leader of the army..." Pang De found the seal and ribbon on Chang Cheng''s corpse, but he still couldn''t believe it, "When did this Han general become like this?" 』
Since Chang Cheng died, there was no one to revoke his order.
The Han army was in chaos and fled in all directions.
??The Han troops who were originally sent by Chang Cheng to attack the horse thieves'' camp heard that Chang Cheng ordered the retreat, so they did not counterattack the camp. Instead, they followed the stream and withdrew, looking for Chang Cheng along the way...
?This made Pound''s preparations for the second wave of Han counterattacks unexpectedly fall into the empty space.
?Seeing that the Han army was so weak, Pang De''s men subconsciously wanted to pursue them, but were stopped by Pang De.
If Pound''s troops had thousands of men, Pound would definitely order the pursuit. Even if there were two or three hundred more, Pound would be more aggressive, but now he has fewer men, and he is now Suddenly I became confused...
Is this a victory?
At that time in Chang’an…
?This is simply a world of difference!
The battle just now and the pursuit of Chang Cheng were all directed by Pang De''s powerful battlefield instinct. When he finished the fight, there was a subtle voice in his mind, which seemed to be delicately reminding him that he had originally It seems that the plan is not like this?
?In Pound''s mind, the poor "original plan" had just been reminded, and was dragged into the small dark room by an unknown creature. After a few screams, it fell silent...
Since all the Han people have fled, how can we "tempt" them?
Look for a few survivors! Pound ordered loudly, "Ask me about the situation!" 』
Pound even thought that he had made a mistake, or that the Han army''s camp was not the Han army camp in Xihai City at all, but perhaps it was just a vassal army of some Western Region country that Lu Bu had conquered?
??Then the real Han army is still behind?
The result of the interrogation was beyond Pound''s expectation. This was really the standing Han army in the West Sea...
??But what surprised Pound even more was that he also received news that the Han general Gao Shun had set off early!
Front, behind?
Pound gestured.
Behind, front.
Pound''s men also gestured and tried hard to explain the direction.
??After all, they are horse thieves. Most of them are illiterate.
Pound''s horse thieves are still horse thieves, their abilities are the same.
After Pound heard this, it took him a moment to realize which side his men were talking about, the front and the back. Then his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically!
??If it was according to what the captured Han soldiers said, then he should have met the Han general Gao on the way here, but in the end he met nothing!
After confirming again and again, Pound suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart...
