Chapter 242 The first meeting, Dongfeng worships the camp(1/2)
Chen Xizhen was sure that someone would attack the camp tonight, and it was not unreasonable.
As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. In any war, spying on the enemy's situation is a very important link.
For the Liangshan Rebels, before the formal decisive battle with all their forces, they must conduct some testing before they can decide their next move.
So tonight's attack will not be to directly achieve a decisive victory, but to test how many noteworthy generals there are in the army, and how many masters among Taoist officials are there?
In an army of 100,000 people, which parts have high morale and strict military discipline? Which parts have low morale and are easily broken through?
In addition to the common archers, infantry, cavalry, and navy, what other special arms are there?
When attacking the camp, there must be experts spying from a distance in order to grasp this information, but...
"If someone really attacks the camp tonight, they will only be able to test a quarter of the masters in the army at most."
Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo were chatting in a military tent.
Guan Sheng was slightly admiring: "Chen Daozi is really good at leading troops in battles. The formation diagram he laid out, according to the eight directions, occupied the heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountains, and the changes of the eight qi. Every two
If you sow it, you can achieve a hexagram."
"The generals in these two directions have fixed selections, but the people under their command are constantly changing, providing the eight demonic turbid energies to the generals in a steady stream."
"The generals in the other six directions are immobile and hidden, but when the soldiers and horses under their command have moved, the devil's cultivation can faintly echo the past, completely misleading the outside world's perception of the military camp."
Hu Yanzhuo nodded repeatedly when he heard this, and said: "However, Liangshan was able to eradicate Yan Shude, Yun Tianbiao, and Liu Yongxi one after another with its weak soldiers and horses, and its small and powerful forces. Their leader must also be a man of both civil and military skills, and there is no shortage of strategies."
"If General Guan were to guess, how should we arrange today's attack on the camp so that we can find out the details without causing too many losses to our elite men?"
Both of them are veteran generals who are accustomed to leading troops on expeditions. During the reign of Emperor Daojun, they were already outstanding local generals. After they came to Han Shizhong's command, they often fought against each other and learned from each other.
Now that I saw Chen Xizhen's arrangement, I couldn't help but feel a desire to win while admiring it. I unconsciously put myself in the enemy's perspective and thought about how to find a flaw.
Guan Sheng frowned and thought hard, the candlelight flickered slightly, causing the facial features on his face to change slightly. After a long time, he relaxed his brows and said: "There is a plan..."
Hu Yanzhuo was waiting to hear his opinion, but when he saw him closing his mouth mid-sentence, he couldn't help but asked a little anxiously, "What's the plan?"
Guan Sheng shook his head: "This plan won't work either. I already know Chen Xizhen's overall layout, so I can come up with this flaw. The people in Liangshan don't know Chen Xizhen's layout at all, how could they think of this?"
Hu Yanzhuo couldn't think of any good plan, so he sighed and said: "It seems that Liangshan will definitely lose one of its troops tonight. The task of exploring the camp is of great importance, and there must be a strong general to lead it. I don't know if it will be Shi."
Xiu, Lin Chong, Lu Da, and Wu Song are the unfortunate people."
Guan Sheng said worriedly: "That big leader in Liangshan has always taken the lead in several battles. I'm afraid he will do it himself."
One hundred thousand elite magic soldiers, thirty-two first-class generals, six great officers and their warlocks, and three immortal golden elixirs. This kind of lineup is enough to fight even against a character who is on the verge of ascending.
No matter how overestimated the guarding of Luoyang is, once he goes deep into the camp alone, he will definitely be trapped. If Liangshan soldiers and horses come to rescue him, they will have to start a decisive battle with the imperial soldiers and horses in a hurry.
In such a situation, it will be like using a warm chest and ribs to meet a cold sharp knife. In the end, it will only be a waste of blood, spilled on the cold night.
Guan Sheng and others had been secretly instructed by Han Shizhong before they came. If they could save some people in Liangshan, they should try to save as many as possible. Naturally, they didn't want to see such a tragic thing.
The two of them waited until the darkest part of the night amid unspoken worries.
Just after midnight, the stars and moonlight in the sky were obscured.
On the vast land, all the birds, beasts, poisonous insects and bugs within a radius of fifty miles have long been frightened away by the aura of a hundred thousand elite demonic soldiers. There is no sound of insects or birds nearby, only the uniform footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the armor plates on their bodies.
, the sound of crashing and crashing.
Inside the camp of the imperial soldiers and horses, the fire in the iron pot was burning brightly. Groups of soldiers held torches to watch the night. The gray-white tent cloth was slightly yellowed in the firelight, but so many flames could only illuminate it.
Just light up this military camp.
If they looked up to the sky, they would only see boundless darkness, and they could not tell the difference between height and distance.
If they looked outside the military camp, they could only see clearly things within a hundred feet at most. Further away, the shadows of the mountains and forests were like silent black paper-cuts, standing at the end of the field of vision, and no details could be seen.
.
The sound of wind lingered low among the soldiers' clothes and armor, and the solemn and solemn atmosphere in the military camp changed subtly.
Someone soon recognized that it was a gust of wind blowing from the east. However, when the wind reached the edge of the military camp, it was easily blocked and cut by the high fences and towering sentry towers.
When we entered the military camp, we were easily squeezed by the tents into a flat piece of weak wind. We could only walk around the tents to slightly change the direction of the flames from the torches in the soldiers' hands.
Even the heavy flag was still hanging down, unwilling to pay attention to the breeze.
The wind seemed to be angry.
The wind was obviously getting louder and louder, all blowing from the east.
Finally, the shaking of the torch became violent and the flag was blown away.
In the dark sky, although everything was dim, you could vaguely see large groups of clouds being moved and rolled by the wind, slowly rolling.
All the generals in the camp stood firmly at their positions and sneered at the strange wind.
There is no need for these top-notch generals to take action. It is just the small flag officers and lieutenants who each call on the soldiers under their command. They use their skills a little bit to cover the sky and the earth. The thick turbid air everywhere is there.
An invisible solid wall formed around the perimeter of the army camp, easily blocking the strange wind.
The strong wind from the east refused to let up, and no matter how strong the whistling air flow was, it could only hit the east camp again and again, knocking it apart and rolling back, forming sand and dust cyclones outside the camp gate, all in vain.
The flag officers and soldiers guarding the east side looked at each other with tacit and arrogant smiles on their faces.
It might be okay for thieves and demons in the countryside to use this kind of magic to deal with a small group of soldiers and horses, 1,800 people, but trying to shake an army of 100,000 is simply a fantasy!
When those ignorant monsters hiding in the dark run out of mana and find that they can't even blow up some pawns, the expressions on their faces will be very funny.
They looked at the silent mountain shadows in the distance, guessing the expression of the demon hiding in a certain direction, and their smiles became even stronger.
Where are you hiding?
Is it on the top of the mountain in the southeast, on the mountainside of the mountain in the east-north, or on the col of the mountain in the far north?
Or is it the short mountain directly east?
Among the mountains, the one directly east is the shortest.
On such a mountain, even the lowest-ranking night soldier in the army can run from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain in just two or three breaths, trampling the mountain under his feet.
The soldiers on duty looked around and searched for a while, and they were almost certain that the wind was coming from the low mountain due east.
The wind is still increasing, and it is still impossible to break into the camp. It is just blowing more and more dust outside the camp gate, obstructing people's eyesight. Looking through the dust whirlwind, it seems to look like the low mountain.
, and became a little higher.
The flag officer rubbed his eyes and focused the five powers of his powers on his eyes. His vision suddenly became clear and his eyesight was greatly enhanced.
I saw it right just now, the mountain actually got a little higher.
Well, it’s high again?
Higher!
Higher!!!
The soldiers on the east side of the camp stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
The mountain is getting higher and higher. In an instant, it has grown more than ten times taller and bigger. In a blink of an eye, it is so big that it blocks the shadows of the mountains on the left and right and fills the field of vision.
The mountaintop grew bigger and faster, and the sound of the wind outside the camp almost became the howling of thousands of wild beasts. The ground outside the camp was blown into pieces and cracked.
The fence, which was several feet high, also began to sway.
The impregnable turbid air defense began to have some waves.
The flag officers and guards finally sounded the bells and iron whistles. Once they pulled out the triangular flags on their backs and waved them in the air, a brilliant fireworks exploded.
In the east direction of this military camp that stretches for more than ten miles, five hundred splendid fireworks went up in no particular order.
The guard to the east, Lingying General Haransheng, walked out of the camp carrying a bronze figure with a horn.
"Well done, I dare to choose a certain house..."
Haransheng's majestic and heroic voice suddenly stopped. What came from the east was not the enemy army that he imagined to sneak attack and test, but a mountain, a mountain that was getting bigger and bigger.
The demon-conquering real person Wang Tianba, who was guarding the southeast, flew into the air in shock, slapped his head with his hand, and a golden light erupted from the Tianling Gai.
The golden light formed a big golden eyeball about three feet in diameter, rising slowly, with a clear outline of the eyeball, scanning the mountain peak from top to bottom.
Of course the mountain will not get bigger. The reason why it feels like it is getting bigger is because the mountain is approaching the military camp.
In just a few breaths, the mountain had moved from five miles east of the military camp to a hundred feet away.
That east wind that resounds through the sky is not the strange wind that the Liangshan Taoist achieved through his magic.
Rather, it was a completely natural phenomenon, because as the mountain approached, it caused a huge air flow, squeezing the air towards the military camp.
It's such a natural style, without any magical power...
Your mother too!!
Wang Tianba almost cursed. The big golden eyeball above his head had already locked onto the bottom of the mountain, where a person was running quickly.
Wang Tianba had seen that man's portrait.
——The big dragon head of Liangshan in the water, the anti-thief demon road passes through Luoyang, carries the mountain, and comes!
"Brothers, come to the rescue!!!"
The shrill roars of Haransheng and Wang Tianba spread throughout the entire military camp.
To be continued...
