He observed on the mountain that the number of people on the top of the mountain surrounded by the other party was not that large. They could number up to a thousand people. According to the information from Situ Xing, His Majesty only brought a hundred garrison troops to Jiangnan this time.
Including the people lurking in the dark, there are only a few hundred people on the top of the mountain.
After all, Your Majesty will never bet all your deployments on the battle on the top of the mountain.
After thinking about it, Zhuge Yue said: "No rush, let everyone have a good night's rest today, and then send two thousand people to attack the mountain tomorrow to see how the other party reacts."
Burning the mountain is too obvious and can easily arouse the attention of all parties, so it is his last choice. For them, it is the most cost-effective thing to say that they can capture His Majesty with the loss of a small number of troops. But if this is not possible, they will surround and kill him.
So does the other party.
"Okay, then as Commander Cheng said, I will order all the troops to camp and rest on the spot."
Fifty thousand horses spread out their formation and set up camps every two miles. The camps patrolled each other. Anyone who sneaked down the mountain would definitely be discovered.
Then Zhuge Yue asked Wang Jianshan to send some secret sentries into the mountains. If anything happened, they would immediately sound a warning. In addition, there were three thousand cavalry on the periphery, ready to respond at any time to ensure nothing went wrong.
After making thorough arrangements, Zhuge Yue was relieved. With him here, Wang Jianshan was happy to be a hands-off boss. Anyway, he was not good at dispatching troops. There happened to be someone with brains here, so he could recharge his batteries.
So that he can lead people to kill him and go up the mountain.
At night.
On Qin Huaidao's side, several generals gathered quietly.
"Your Majesty, the enemy camp has been set up safely. It seems that there is no plan to attack immediately. How about we attack the enemy camp at night and set fire to the enemy's food and grass?" Cheng Chumo still remembered that during the expedition to Goguryeo, several people sneaked into the city to burn the food and grass, forcing the opponent's army to have no choice but to
Things that turn and then perish.
This is the perfect place to recreate the bravery of the past.
Qin Huaidao rejected his proposal.
"No."
The top ten generals of the day were a little stunned: "Why?"
The others didn't quite understand. If His Majesty and Cheng Chumo really had a way to sneak into the camp and burn the food and fodder, it would be of great benefit to them.
Qin Huaidao saw everyone's question and pointed to the other side's grain and grass camp: "Those grains and grass were all plundered from the people. They are the rations for the people to survive. If we burn them with fire, who will fill the shortfall of the people?"
"The most important thing is that these bandits are all heinous, and now they have committed a serious crime of treason. What if they burn the food and grass and the enemy's military morale is shaken and they flee?"
Faced with this problem, several of the top ten generals in the current dynasty felt that their brains were a little weak.
"Isn't it a good thing that the other party escaped?" Fang Yiai was a bit rough and asked Qin Huaidao.
"Of course it's not a good thing," Qin Huaidao said: "These people are used to being domineering. If they let the tiger return to the mountains easily, they will definitely bring disaster to the fish and meat countryside and bring disaster to the people everywhere, so we have to eliminate them all here."
Oops!
Everyone took a breath, it turned out that this was His Majesty's idea.
Although they only have 1,100 people, when they mentioned the annihilation of 50,000 bandits here, they all seemed to be stimulated and extremely excited, as if the life and death of the other party was already in their hands.
This excitement comes from the absolute trust gained from following Qin Huaidao for many years.
As long as it is the goal stated by His Majesty, they will definitely achieve it. As long as it is what His Majesty wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be achieved.
If it cannot be realized, Your Majesty will not propose it.
Cheng Chumo saw His Majesty's smile and knew that he had a plan tonight, so he handed over to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, tell us what your plans are going to be tonight. Brothers can't wait."
Qin Huaidao only said two words: "Night attack."
Each of the five people selected four good players from the fifty people they led. When they were in the Kanshan cave, Qin Huaidao had anticipated this day, so he gathered some bandits' clothes, which would come in handy tonight.
After everyone changed their clothes, each person brought weapons and grenades. In the darkness, they rode horses to the vicinity of the army. Qin Huaidao signaled a few people to stay still. Then he quietly approached the patrol team sent by the other party and knocked one of them unconscious.
, drag it back.
Then, he slapped the bandit wildly one after another to wake him up.
The bandit was still in a haze, vaguely watching several people dressed similar to himself staring at him, wondering: "Who are you, and why are you looking at me?"
Qin Huaidao: "Password."
Bandit: "What's the password? If you don't say the first sentence, how can I follow the next sentence?"
Qin Huaidao's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "Okay, there is no password. You are indeed a spy sent by the Han army. Brothers, kill him for me."
"Yes, boss."
After saying that, Cheng Chumo raised his ax and struck the bandit hard. The bandit was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy: "Don't, I said, I said."
Cheng Chumo did not stop with the ax in his hand, but turned a corner and hit the tree where the bandit was leaning.
He took back the ax with a sneer: "Oh, after a long time of practice, I still can't hit the target accurately and miss the mark."
Qin Huaidao glanced at him speechlessly, then stared at the bandit coldly: "My patience is limited, you'd better hurry up."
After being frightened repeatedly, how could the bandits have any thoughts? In a hurry, he said the password given to them by Wang Jianshan: "The first sentence is from Ge Laozi, and the second sentence is from no butthole."
"Who are you scolding?" Cheng Waimo couldn't stand this broken command, so he went up and kicked the bandit. Before the bandit could react, Qin Huaidao killed him with a knife.
Now that we have the password, the rest is easy: sneak attack and blow up the camp!
He has observed that these bandits are organized into different groups. Each team has about fifty people, and every fifty people form a camp. With one grenade, at least half of the bandits can be killed.
After he also gave instructions on the precautions for stealing the camp, he dispersed these people and carried out covert operations.
Zhuge Yue and Wang Jianshan stood side by side outside, watching the stars at night.
The stars are bright and the moon is like a hook.
Zhuge Yue asked Wang Jianshan: "Brother Jianshan, do you think Master Situ can successfully kill His Majesty here in one fell swoop and become a great treasure?"
Wang Jianshan chuckled and said: "I have little education and my knowledge is far less than that of Zhuge's military advisor. I don't care whether Sir Situ can be honored as a great treasure. I only know that Sir Situ is kind to me. No matter what I do, I will do it."
.”
"Oh?" Zhuge Yue didn't say anything.
What if we let him die?
If Your Majesty dies, and all the heroes in the world rise up, there will be more than one Situ Xing. Those people will recruit troops and horses in the name of revenge for Your Majesty. At that time, the black hands who killed Your Majesty will become the target of public criticism. In order to quell the public anger, the heroes will be eliminated.
, it is inevitable that someone will take the blame.
