A drop of rain fell on Ma Tianyong's face, and the young general frowned.
It was now the morning of the next day. After a night of marching, all the troops in Yongjin City were exhausted.
Looking at the cloudy sky, Ma Tianyong felt a little angry.
According to his own plan, it would be best for the army to march forcefully and rush directly to Tianfeng Kingdom in one go. But now it seems that this may not be possible.
He couldn't see the situation clearly last night, but when the sky got brighter in the morning, he saw dark clouds in the sky. This was the time for heavy rain, and it was heavy rain.
Originally, we could arrive at Tianfeng Kingdom at about noon today, but if it rains, we probably won’t be able to make it. Because the roads around here will be muddy and blocked once it rains heavily, and the soldiers will be exhausted, leaving them in such a hurry
It is unrealistic to travel in such an environment.
But this kind of thing is done in one breath, then fades away, and then ends in three. If you let the soldiers travel for a day and a night at one breath, it can be done. But if you take a rest in the middle, the soldiers may not be able to get up.
I'll probably fall asleep now.
If it rains heavily, the entire march may be delayed by another day. But now Ma Tianyong is anxious for some reason. It may be because of the special connection between father and son. He just feels that something has happened to his old father.
, now he doesn't want to waste this day at all.
I prayed that the rain would not come, and that the wind would quickly scatter the clouds to other places for rain. Unfortunately, the weather did not go as planned. After a while, the rain still came, and it rained heavily.
The surrounding roads quickly began to accumulate water. Ma Tianyong wanted to keep walking forward at first, because there was a higher ground ahead, and it was obviously better to camp there.
But the soldiers really couldn't move. The rain was so heavy that within a short time, there was water everywhere, mixed with mud. They couldn't pull their feet out even if they stepped on it.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Ma Tianyong still ordered to camp nearby and wait until the rain stopped and the water receded.
Of course, it is impossible to set up camp in muddy water. After hearing the order to set down camp, the surrounding soldiers began to look for a place with less water around them to start setting up camp.
What kind of number are there, more than 50,000 people? They are densely packed along a road, and there are all large and small camps.
Because they were just resting and sheltering from the rain and had no intention of staying here for a long time, the Yongjin City troops only set up tents and did not build any defensive facilities at all, such as temporary walls, temporary sentries and the like.
And it was almost as Ma Tianyong thought. After a night of traveling, all the soldiers were exhausted. After setting up camp, many soldiers fell to the ground and slept without even cooking. Most of the soldiers wanted to go to bed first.
, wake up before eating, and finish eating before setting off.
Ma Tianyong actually thought the same thing. When he ordered to go down to the stronghold, he knew that the soldiers must have fallen down to rest. The repairs would take a day. It was uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do.
At this time, everyone in the army seemed to have overlooked one thing, and that was reconnaissance.
According to the general situation, after leaving the camp at this time, it is natural to send out scout horses to check the situation and guard against the enemy.
This is not the first time that Ma Tianyong has gone on an expedition. He and his father, Ma Yixiong, have gone on many expeditions before, so he still has basic military qualities.
But why I was so careless this time was mainly because I simply didn’t expect it.
On this day, Fengguo suddenly and inexplicably detained their father, which was a situation that he couldn't understand. He could no longer imagine that this small country would actually do such a thing.
If you can't even think of this, what happens next is even more unthinkable.
He didn't expect that his father had already been beheaded by the princess of Tianfeng Kingdom at this time, and he didn't expect that the small country that he regarded as no threat would actually take the initiative to attack at this time. A troop like them was already halfway there, and even
...has arrived near them.
On the uphill side, in the pouring rain, Linton looked at the continuous camps below, feeling a little confused.
Linton knew that he would run into the opponent's frontal troops, but he did not expect that the opponent would be so cooperative.
Linton had seen the map and found that this area was the best location for an ambush. He originally thought that he would rush here first and then ambush the opponent in advance.
I just didn't expect that before his ambush person arrived, the prey had already laid down inside.
Yes, Linton didn't expect that the other party would actually travel overnight. He was traveling lightly here. He didn't expect that the other party could march so fast. How could he get here so quickly?
I can't figure it out, but forget it.
Looking at Xiao Qingqing next to him who was wet by the rain and now starting to tremble, Linton was thinking about how to help this guy gain his reputation. Suddenly a general came over on horseback: "Your Highness, Prince Consort, the enemy seems not to be alert.
, the opportunity has come!”
Linton could clearly see the eyes of this general whose name he couldn't quite remember emitting a strange light, like a treasure hunter who had seen the treasure. At this time, the camps below were like golden mountains in his eyes.
Like a mountain of silver.
"That so-and-so, you take 800 people to the left, and so-and-so, you take 800 people to the right." Linton commanded casually, and could not even name the generals clearly. But this inexplicable and even vague military order was executed.
The efficiency is frightening.
Because at this time, all the generals were thinking about the same question: "How did the prince-in-law know that the enemy would be waiting for them here?"
Yes, this is a kind of blind worship. Before, Linton urged them to march in various ways, and they still couldn't figure out what was going on. But now when they saw the camp at the foot of the mountain, everyone suddenly seemed to understand. In a word, the prince-in-law had a brilliant plan.
God is also a man.
At this time, although Linton's troops came from more than 20 departments, they were mixed to the point of chaos. However, Linton's presence directly forcibly twisted the more than 20 strands of rope together.
Everyone said that although I don’t understand it, I admire you.
"Let's go!" Linton suddenly hit his horse, and the troops were divided into three groups. They began to charge towards the camp at the foot of the mountain from three directions: left, center and right.
At this time, the camp below still showed no response.
The heavy rain outside the camp covered up the sound of horse hooves, and most of the soldiers in the camp were still sleeping on the ground. At this time, outside the camp, three troops cut through the rain curtain like sharp knives.
The fatal blow has been struck into the center of this continuous camp.
