Night falls.
Generally speaking, generals hope to be on the front line and improve their military command capabilities, but in the same way, many people are eager to stay away from the battlefield and it is best to hide in places where they will never be injured.
In the desert, the temperature drops very strongly at night, and the night wind whistles unscrupulously on the Gobi Desert.
The bonfire inside the horse thief camp was shaking and seemed to be extinguished at any time.
In the camp, Pang De held the sword tightly, looked at his trembling subordinates beside him, who were trembling in the cold wind, and said nothing more. He waved his hand and took the horse to the night sky first, and circled around the Han army's camp from his flank.
Pang De did not make any pre-war mobilization, but his subordinates only lamented at most, but also followed Pang De silently. They were about to go around from the rear camp gate, which might be relatively safe. The only disadvantage is that the journey is relatively long.
Just as Pang De and his men set out, in the Han army camp, Chang Cheng was wearing a piece of armor and consciously stood in front of the queue with his hands behind his back, but his habitual bent down and hunched back inevitably made his aura a little lacking.
"Brothers!" Chang Cheng lowered his voice and shouted, "The time to test your training results and show your bravery is here!"
"General Wei, the Protector of the Great Guardian has all kindness to you! The clothes and armor on the body, the food and salary in their mouths, are all given to you by General Wei, and the Protector of the Great Guardian. You must know how to be grateful!"
"When a soldier, you can't just think about eating and getting money, you must also know how to protect the country and the people! Jingping the place! The horse thief is right in front of you, you need to show your value twelve points..."
It took less than a quarter of an hour to assemble, but Chang Cheng spoke more than a quarter of an hour. In the end, he divided his two sergeants into teams A and B, each leading the one team, and also set many reward goals.
The team rushed into the horse thief camp first, and won the prize first, how much does it cost. If you cut and kill the horse thief's head, how much does it cost for each level? If you exceed level five, the bonus will be increased additionally, and there will be no cap on it...
At the end, Chang Cheng looked at the soldiers who seemed to be a little restless by these awards, and smiled with satisfaction and said, "How can a mere horse thief block our army's path? Tonight is a good opportunity to kill the enemy. Do you have confidence?!"
『…』
The soldiers lined up could not help but be stunned. They had hardly seen such a general.
I feel restless because of excitement, but because my feet are numb after standing for a long time. I just take the opportunity to move. I still ask if I have confidence or not? If I don’t have confidence, can I go back and continue to sleep? If not, then what is the answer to be asked?
"Ah, yes, yes, have confidence!" Seeing that the soldiers were a little stunned, the fast-reacting sergeant 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 impatient? Well? Why don't you eat enough? Didn't you just eat it?"
The soldier complained in his heart, don't care whether he eats or not. He doesn't know how to blow the night wind for half an hour. Who can be so energetic? But he can't say that. The soldier's eyes rolled and he whispered: "Sima, we are going to attack at night, and attack at night. Of course we have confidence, but shout louder, aren't the horse thieves awakened?"
"Oh, yes." Chang Cheng thought of this and raised his arms a little embarrassedly and waved them, "That's it, let's go! I'll wait for you to return victoriously!"
Chang Cheng watched the soldiers leave as they smiled and collapsed, "Hurry, help me in! Help me unload my armor! You guys pick up these ragged armors, which makes me tight! Go and get the brocade clothes!"
Chang Cheng's guard quickly supported Chang Cheng and defended: "Sima, didn't you say you were tightening your stomach just now, but you looked small..."
"It's just now!" Chang Cheng muttered, "I'm so tired...ah...so sleepy. I'm going to take a look first. Don't quarrel with me, come and call me when they come back..."
Guard Chang Cheng replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Sima! It's absolutely fine!"
The sergeant who led the soldiers forward found another sergeant, "Was Sima just said how to fight? He said too much, and I can't remember it."
『This…』 Another soldier said, 『I just remember how much it costs to rush in first, and how much does it cost to have a head. As for the strategy of entering...Hi, don't worry about him, killing in! Don't divide your team and my team. Anyway, anyone will say that everyone will be successful, and the bounty will be half of it!"
"I think it's it! That's it!" The soldier greeted, "Let's go! You guys move quickly! Do you want to listen to Sima's lecture?"
Unlike Pang De, these Han troops gathered early but went out late, and then did not make any concealment. They rushed directly to the horse thief's camp.
The horse thief's camp was built in a trench. Before the crooked camp gate, there were two bonfires that were about to go out, but no one on duty was seen.
Logically speaking, the commander who is a little more alert may have become suspicious at this time, but I don’t know if it is because he thinks that the horse thief is so relaxed, or wants to finish the work earlier, the two soldiers did not stop at all, and shouted and rushed up together with the people!
There were not many tents in the horse thief camp, standing scattered and spots, as if a little light and shadow were shaking. However, after the Han soldiers rushed in, they found that they were actually just a clothes rack with wooden sticks inside. A few pieces of rags were swaying, and under the torch, they seemed to be shaking like a figure.
The soldiers of the Han army shouted loudly from the beginning, but now they look at each other.
"No one...
"Are you all running away?"
『What's going on...』
"The one behind, let no one shout, no one behind, no one else can shout it!"
『Team ranking! It's not us shouting! It's behind...』
"What's behind?" The sergeant was so upset that he turned his head and his face suddenly turned pale. "Baying, what's wrong with our camp?"
After the shouts of killing around them calmed down, these people heard the ridicule and noise in their camps in the distance!
『Return to the army! Return to the army immediately!』
"We've been trapped, we've been trapped!"
Not mentioning the panicked Han soldiers who were killed in the horse thief camp, Pang De, who was in Changcheng camp, was killing all directions.
When Chang Cheng's subordinates began to attack the horse thief camp, Pang De was also shocked, but he quickly adjusted and encouraged his subordinates, saying that it was meaningless to go back to rescue the camp now, and it would be better to attack the Han army's camp directly as planned. Moreover, the Han army sent people to sneak attack their camp, which means that the number of soldiers in the Han army's camp has decreased, which is more conducive to their attack!
The people under Pang De were basically all blood-licking people on the edge of the knife and almost ignored the risks. So for them, Pang De's words made a lot of sense, and then quickly rushed out of the darkness under the leadership of Pang De and rushed straight to the Han army's camp as planned!
The sound of the horn suddenly rang out, and the low and shrill sound scared Chang Cheng to tremble.
At the last moment, Chang Cheng was still immersed in the great excitement of winning, but the next moment, Pang De's attack made Chang Cheng feel as if he had just taken off the goddess of luck's skirt. He found that the goddess of luck took out a guy bigger than him. The excitement was too great, and he was stunned and could not 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 take his men to the edge of the camp and stop and turn around and evacuate. I believe that the Han army would not dare to pursue it in the dark...
One side felt that they would definitely win and did not even make any plans for failure, while the other side prepared the failed plan, but it was useless at all.
Both sides were a little surprised, but the unexpected results were different.
The sudden attack of the horse thieves made Chang Cheng panic. Chang Cheng, who was panicked, also had no command in the camp and did not receive effective commands, spontaneously blocked the general horse thieves. The problem may not be big, and there is still a certain chance to restore order, but they faced Pang De...
Pang De, carrying a heavy long-handled battle axe, directly slashed and smashed the defenses of the Han army, and rushed into the Han army camp and fought desperately.
Some spontaneously organized Han squads had almost no resistance when facing Pang De's crazy attack. The horse thieves followed Pang De and stepped in all the way. The more they fought, the more they became, the more crazy they became, yelling, like a group of evil ghosts releasing death and chaos.
『Kill!』
Pound trembled with his blood-stained battle axe and shouted in a loud voice.
The horse thief who followed him also shouted together, and a passionate aura rose.
Immediately, more horse thieves shouted, and the voices gathered together, which scared Chang Cheng to keep trembling.
In Chang Cheng's vision, there were jumping flames everywhere, and all the fishy blood in his nose were smelling, and all kinds of panic screams were filled with his ears!
This is the battlefield?
So terrible!
He saw the vicious Pound.
He opened his mouth wide and was shocked.
He didn't know what happened and why it turned out like this?
Where did these horse thieves come from? How could they appear behind their butts?
Could it be that the horse thief has captured Xihai City?
General Wei Xu thought that the horse thief was a scumbag, and Chang Cheng also thought so. Even many Han soldiers in the West Sea also thought so, and in most cases it was indeed the case.
The horse thief's equipment is not good, whether it is swords, guns, arrows, or armor and equipment, it is much worse than the Han army. So once the two sides face off, the Han army will definitely take advantage. This is almost undoubtedly. Therefore, Chang Cheng also believes that there is no problem with General Wei Xu's arrangement. The task of regaining the vanguard camp is actually very simple. The important thing is to stare at Gao Shun, guard against Gao Shun, and frame Gao Shun. Other things are smooth and can be completed casually.
When facing the horse thief who rushed into the camp, Chang Cheng felt that his throat was like a mouthful of wind and sand that was dry and bitter, and it was difficult to breathe, not to mention giving a smooth command. Fear filled Chang Cheng's cells and shattered his wonderful dreams about the battlefield. In the battlefield he fantasized, he was a feather fan and austere and laughed and talked, and the enemy was destroyed. It was definitely not like a ghost at the moment, with blood and roars like evil ghosts running rampant!
"Retreat! Retreat!" Chang Cheng finally snorted and issued an order, but his order was not to resist, but to escape, "Protect me! Retreat! Retreat!!"
Escape from here and stay away from death!
This is the answer that Chang Cheng's only remaining instinct told him, and then he did it the same way.
But it’s a pity that if Chang Cheng did nothing at this time, he might not have attracted Pang De’s attention…
Pound was looking for any person like a general in the camp.
In Pang De's understanding, the Han army general should be under the flag, but he killed the large tent under the flag, but no one was found.
Because Chang Cheng despised the large tent being airy and colder, and the large tent was nominally high and smooth, he went to sleep with his own luxurious and warm tent.
Pang De immediately began to search for all the figures wearing armor, such as Mingguang Armor, Blackguang Armor and other high-level armor, but he couldn't find them either.
Because Chang Cheng disliked the armor and tied his belly, he took off his armor early and changed into a comfortable robe.
The longer the time went on, the more worried Pang De became. He had fewer people. If he could not kill the Han army commander in one fell swoop, he would fall into the Han army camp. When the Han army that went to attack revolt, he would become a disadvantage at that time...
Just when Pang De was a little anxious and hesitating whether to stop when he saw the opportunity, Chang Cheng issued an order to retreat and let him 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 invisibly exposed himself. Pang De, who was familiar with the Han military flag, immediately stared at Chang Cheng with the flash of fire!
Pang De was overjoyed!
Chang Cheng was shocked!
"Stop him!" Chang Cheng screamed, panicking as if a helpless girl had met a villain. She had never thought about resisting or anything else, but was just screaming with a crying voice, "Come here! Stop him!"
Several Han soldiers followed the order and went to intercept Pang De, but they were quickly killed by Pang De, which failed to delay Pang De for one more second.
Chang Cheng was sweating all over, his hands and feet were cold and stiff, and even began to twitch because of extreme tension. He never thought that he had such a problem, so that his uncontrollable body twisted and his hands and feet twitched on the horse's back.
On the back of a horse galloping war horse, the most important thing is to maintain balance, and at the same time adjust the state and center of gravity of the war horse to run fast. Once the reins are pulled left and right, the war horse will naturally think that it is about to turn or adjust, and of course the running speed will be lowered.
The more Chang Cheng saw Pang De chasing him, the more nervous he became. The more nervous he was, the more his hands and feet twitched involuntarily...
『Save, save me!』
Chang Cheng let out a desperate howl from his throat. He felt like he was being chased by a wolves, and he was about to be torn into pieces the next moment. He screamed, bursting into tears, as if he wanted to exchange crying and begging for God's favor and mercy for him, but his actions could not change anything at all. The shadow of death enveloped his head, making him feel suffocated and desperate.
Seeing that the distance seemed almost close enough, Pang De reached out to take out a meteor hammer from the horse's back, swung it quickly in his hand for a few rounds, and then threw it at Chang Cheng's back!
The Hu people who were nomadic for many years had accurate stone-towing skills, and some shepherds could even accurately hit the horns of the sheep to adjust the direction of the flock. Although Pang De was not a shepherd, the meteor hammer he threw was still somewhat accurate, drew an arc in the air, hit Chang Cheng's back, and knocked him to the ground from the horse's back.
Chang Cheng was dismissed. Normally, his guards should be desperately intercepting Pang De, but like a soldier under a powerful general, most of them are brave. A general who cherishes his life and is greedy for money. Most of his guards under him are greedy for life and money. Chang Cheng was knocked down. The guards around him who had just recruited not long ago were not loyal at all, and they did not have any emotion for Chang Cheng. They pretended to be invisible and ran faster than before, making Pang De think that he had hit the wrong target for a while...
"Don't kill me..." Chang Cheng twisted on the ground, spitting blood, trying to buy Pang De, "I, I have money... I have a lot of money..."
Pang De frowned, "Are you a general of the Han army?"
"No, not..." Chang Cheng still wants to lie.
Pang De's eyes narrowed and fell on the leather bag around Chang Cheng's waist.
Chang Cheng realized that something was wrong and quickly tried to cover it up.
Pang De thought Chang Cheng was going to take out the dagger and flying knife in his arms, so he swung the axe without saying a word!
Chang Cheng's man's head jumped on the ground like a bloody ball, and then stopped. His mouth wide and his distorted face seemed to be still doubting that his life ending should not be like this.
"It's really Sima, the leader..." Pang De found a seal on Chang Cheng's body, but he was still a little unbelievable, "When did this Han general become like this?"
When Chang Cheng died, no one naturally revoked his orders.
The Han army was in chaos and fled in scattered areas.
The Han army, which was 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, but followed the crowd and retreated, and they were looking for Chang Cheng along the way...
This made Pang De prepare for the second wave of Han army counterattacks, but it actually landed in the air.
Seeing that the Han army was so weak, Pang De's subordinates subconsciously wanted to chase him, but were stopped by Pang De.
If Pound's troops had thousands of people, Pound would definitely order a pursuit. Even if he could have more than two or three hundred, Pound would have been more radical, but now he has fewer personnel, and he suddenly became confused...
Is this a victory?
In Chang'an back then...
This is simply a difference between heaven and earth!
The battle just now and the pursuit of Chang Cheng were almost commanded by Pang De's powerful battlefield instinct. When he finished fighting, there was a subtle voice in his mind, which seemed to be a very delicate reminder that his original plan did not seem like this?
In Ponder's mind, the pitiful "original plan" had just reminded him, and was dragged into the small dark room by unknown creatures, screamed a few times, and then quietly...
All the Han people have escaped, how can they "tempt" this?
"Find a few living!" Pang De ordered loudly, "Ask me clearly!"
Pang De even thought he had made a mistake, or was the Han army camp not the Han army camp in Xihai City at all, or maybe it was just a vassal of some Western countries that Lu Bu conquered?
Then the real Han army is still behind?
The result of the interrogation, beyond Pang De's expectations, was really the permanent Han army in the West Sea...
But what Pang De unexpectedly was that he also received news that the Han general Gao Shun had already set off early!
Front, back?
Ponder gestured.
Back, front.
Pang De's subordinates also gestured and tried hard to explain the direction.
After all, are they horse thieves? Most of them are illiterate.
Pang De's horse thief is still a horse thief, and his ability is just that.
After hearing this, Pang De realized after a while that side of the person he was talking about was what he said, and then his heart beat and his face changed drastically!
If it were as the captive Han soldiers said, then he should have met the Han general Gao on the way to come, but he did not meet anything!
Chapter completed!
