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 hurt.
In the desert, the temperature drops sharply at night, and the night wind howls 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 led the horse into the night, walking around 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 also followed Pound silently. They planned to go around from the direction of the rear camp gate, which would be relatively safe. The only drawback
, but the journey is 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 stooping 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 very kind to you! The clothes and armor you wear, the food in your mouth, and the military pay you receive are all given to you by General Wei and most of the guards. You must know how to be grateful!"
"As a soldier, you can't just think about eating and getting paid. You must also know how to protect the country and the people! Jingping! The thieves are right in front of you. You need to show your courage to show your value..."
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 team that rushes into the horse thief camp first will get the prize, and the amount will be as much as the amount. For those who kill the horse thief's head, how much is the head for each level? For those who exceed level 5, the bonus will be increased additionally, and there is no upper limit...
Finally, Chang Cheng looked at the soldiers who seemed to be 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 lined up couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. They had rarely 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. Do you have confidence or not? If you answer no confidence, can you go back to sleep? If not, what should you answer?
Do you even need to ask?
"Ah, yes, yes, I have confidence!" Seeing that the soldiers were in a daze, the sergeant who reacted 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? Huh? Why haven't you eaten enough? Didn't you just eat just now?"
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 you can't say that. The sergeant rolled his eyes and whispered: "Sima, what are we doing?
We are going to attack at night, we are going to attack at night, of course we are confident, but if we shout louder, won’t the horse thieves wake up?”
"Oh, that's right." Chang Cheng just thought of this and raised his arms with a little embarrassment and waved, "That's it, let's go! I'm waiting for you to return victoriously!"
Chang Cheng watched the soldiers walking away, and his smiling face collapsed, "Quickly, help me in quickly! Help me take off my armor! You pick these tattered armors, they're strangling me so hard! Go and get the brocade clothes quickly."
!』
Chang Cheng's guard hurriedly supported Chang Cheng and argued: "Sima, didn't you just say that you should tighten it tighter to make your belly look smaller..."
"Just now is just now!" Chang Cheng muttered, "I'm so exhausted...ah...so sleepy. I need to squint 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, "Did Sima just say how to fight? He talked too much, I can't remember it clearly."
"This..." another sergeant said, "I just remember how much it costs to rush in first, and how many people there are. As for the marching strategy... Hey, who cares, just go in and finish! I won't give you any credit."
If you join my team, then whoever says it will be the winner, 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 faster! Do you still want to listen to Sima's lecture?!"
Unlike Pang De'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 thieves' 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 not a single person on duty was seen.
Logically speaking, a more vigilant 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, and they stood here and there. It seemed that there was some shaking of light and shadow. 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 moving under 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 everyone run away?"
"what happened……"
"People in the back, tell the people in the back to stop shouting, it's a waste to shout when no one is there!"
"Team leader! It's not us who are shouting! It's the people behind..."
"What's behind?" The sergeant was very annoyed. He turned his head and his face suddenly turned pale, "Big camp, what happened to our big camp?"
After the surrounding shouts of death calmed down, these people heard the jeering noises from their camp in the distance!
"Return to the army! Return to the army immediately!"
"We've fallen into a trap, fallen into a trap!"
Not to mention the panicked Han soldiers who rushed to the enemy's 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 for 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 horn sounded suddenly, and the low 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, Pound did not dare to go too deep. He also thought that if the Han army counterattacked quickly and violently, then 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. The Han army, which had not received effective instructions, spontaneously blocked and dealt with ordinary horse thieves. The problem may be that there was no
There is still a certain chance to restore order, but they are facing Pound...
Pang De 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. The more they fought, the crazier they became, shouting and screaming.
, like a group of evil spirits releasing death and chaos.
"Kill!"
Pound shook his blood-stained battle ax and shouted loudly.
The horse thieves following him also shouted together, and an excited momentum rose.
Immediately, 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 stinking blood, and his ears were filled with all kinds of panicked cries!
This is the battlefield?
very scary!
He saw the vicious Pound.
He opened his mouth wide and was shocked.
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 my butt?
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 true.
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 army 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 Chang Cheng
Every cell in his heart shattered his wonderful dream about the battlefield. In his imaginary battlefield, he was like a feather fan, silk scarf, 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 roars like evil ghosts running rampant!
"Retreat! Retreat!" Chang Cheng finally hoarsely gave the order, but his order was not to resist, but to escape, "Protect me! Retreat! Retreat!!"
Get away from here, 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 Pang De's attention...
Pound was looking for anyone who looked like a general in the camp.
In Pang De'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 cold ventilation of the big tent and the fact that 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 armors, but he couldn't find them either.
Because Chang Cheng disliked armor that strangled his belly, he took off his armor early and changed into a pair of comfortable robes.
The longer time passed, the more Pound became worried. He had few people. If he couldn't 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 as soon as possible, 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 invisibly expose himself, and Pang De, who was familiar with the Han army 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 quickly."
People! Stop him!』
Several Han soldiers obeyed the order and went to intercept Pound, but they were quickly killed by Pang De, 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 need to adjust, the running speed will of course be slowed down.
The more Chang Cheng saw Pound chasing him closer, the more nervous he became. The more nervous he became, the more his hands and feet twitched involuntarily...
"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, tears streaming down his face, and seemed to want 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, Pound reached out and took out the meteor hammer from his horse, waved it quickly in his hand a few times, and then threw it at Chang Cheng's back!
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 is not a shepherd, the meteor hammer he throws
Still somewhat accurate, he drew an arc in the air and hit Chang Cheng on the back, knocking him off his horse and 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 it 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 bloody ball. He bounced on the ground twice and then stopped. His mouth was wide open and his face was twisted, as if he was still doubting that the ending of his life should not be like this.
"Sima is really the leader..." 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?"
Chang Cheng died, so naturally no one would 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 had 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 army's counterattack unexpectedly fall into the empty space.
Seeing how weak the Han army was, 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 to 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?
Back then 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 a small dark room by an unknown creature. It screamed a few times and then fell silent...
The Han people have all fled, so how can we "seduce" them?
"Find a few survivors!" Pound ordered loudly, "Ask me about the situation!"
Pang De 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 maybe it was just a vassal army of some Western Region country that Lu Bu had conquered?
And 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 got news that the Han general Gao Shun had set off early!
Front Back?
Pound gestured.
behind, front.
Pound's men also gestured and tried hard to explain the directions.
After all, they are horse thieves, most of whom are illiterate.
Pound's horse thieves are still horse thieves, their abilities are the same.
After Pang De 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 he followed 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, Pang De suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart...
