After arranging patrols and secret sentries, Yu Jin suddenly noticed Xu Shu showing obvious confusion. He thought he had found some flaw, so he casually asked, "Yuan Zhi, what's wrong with you? Did you find something like this?"
What's wrong?"
"I'm stupid, today is the 13th, and I have already cleared the nearby rain clouds. The moon and stars will definitely be sparse tonight." Xu Shu sighed and said, "In this case, the field of vision at night will be a bit different.
Ten steps, it is impossible for a normal person to choose this time for a night attack. In this case, both sides can clearly see why there is a night attack."
"..." Yu Jin nodded unconsciously when he heard the words. Indeed, if he could see clearly at night, the night attack would no longer be sudden and would simply be a force attack. In this case, what would be the point.
Okay, it still makes some sense. Most people always have to rest at night. If something is unexpected, it is still possible to be caught off guard or something.
"But now that the arrangements have been made, don't change the order day and night. It's better to be more cautious when issuing it." Xu Shu sighed and said.
If he had known that today was the 13th, Xu Shu would definitely use the most reasonable camp defense arrangement to let more people rest to ensure their physical strength for the next day's battle. After all, after encountering the enemy, the new camp will be strengthened.
Defend to prevent the opponent from sneak attack.
Strengthening the defense again under such conditions means that most people will not be able to have a good rest tonight. After all, marching consumes a part of their physical strength. If they don't sleep well at night, their combat effectiveness will definitely be affected tomorrow.
"Forget it, you can rest tonight. I will lead another group of people to patrol the camp at Erdaomen." Yu Jin thought about his previous arrangements and determined that the shield guards on the outside and the Qingzhou soldiers in the front camp could not rest well.
Decisive decision was made to arrange another layer of patrols at the second gate.
In this way, we can basically ensure that the middle camp and the rear camp can have a good rest, and wait until tomorrow to rely on these two camps to test the defense of Brahma Si City.
Xu Shu nodded when he heard the words. He already understood what Yu Jin meant. Since it has reached this point, it is better to just add more people and assume that the other party will attack the camp.
"Originally, I meant that I won't rest." Xu Shu shook his head and said nothing. The front camp and the second gate were ready for night battles, so the middle camp where he was squatting should also have a good rest. There will be a fierce battle tomorrow.
There are not many siege battles in the Central Plains.
While the Han Dynasty was arranging the camp and defense, Niranjan stood quietly on the wall of the city of Brahmas, as motionless as a stone sculpture, until the moon came out and shone on him.
The Han army will definitely find that Niranjan can guarantee that the moonlight tonight will exceed Niranjan's estimate, but it doesn't matter. He is not good at sneak attacks. Attacking to test the opponent's strength is his most correct choice.
Moreover, his headquarters has the strength to support a strong attack.
"I will never fail." Niranjan stood up straight indifferently, raising his hands and feet, the armor made a sound of gold and iron clashing, and the time was almost up.
Even Niranjan himself had not experienced this kind of war atmosphere for a long time. In the past three years, he and his soldiers did not engage in any high-intensity battles, but more intensive training to make up for the foundation of the year.
Most of these soldiers were in their early thirties, and they were all veterans who had followed Niranjan for about ten years. It was not an exaggeration for them to have experienced hundreds of battles.
What's more exaggerated than having experienced hundreds of battles is that their physical fitness is stronger now than when they were young boys in their twenties. Back then, they had no awareness and no willpower to match, but now they have
Make up for its own shortcomings.
"Are you all here?" Niranjan inserted two swords, one long and one short, into the scabbards on his waist. When he walked down from the city wall, the Padu warriors had already formed up and were waiting for orders.
Under the silver-gray moonlight, Niranjan could clearly see most people's faces. There was no nervousness at all, just the resolute eyes.
It had been nearly three years since there had been any high-intensity fighting on the battlefield, but all the soldiers seemed to have been washed away at this moment. They no longer had the arrogance of the past, leaving only the iron-like perseverance.
, stood straight on the spot without making any sound.
"General, except for the more than 3,000 people left behind, all the other 8,000 people have arrived." Niranjan's deputy general took a step forward and said with a little fanaticism in his cold face.
Niranjan calmly glanced at all the soldiers, remembering every soldier in his eyes as much as possible. He knew very well that in every war, some people would not come back.
This is also an important reason why Niranjan made a promise to all the soldiers in public during the day. Being a servant is not a humiliation, but on the contrary, a reward.
Different from slave, servant at this time refers to serving. Among the nine ministers, there is an official position called Taipu. If there is no slave in this era, this word means more of a follower and a servant.
Niranjan's promise to his soldiers was basically that after you die, I will educate and train your descendants as people who follow me and serve me.
If the analogy is similar, it should be a knight and a knight's squire. Although the latter is equivalent to the dual existence of an orderly and a follower, the knight's squire can really learn from the knight.
In the classical era, it was basically impossible for a servant to become a noble under that clear class in his lifetime. As long as the knight's attendants truly learned what the knight gave them, they could either inherit the position of a knight, or become a noble.
Become a new noble by your own strength.
This leads to the following sentence: If I have a bite to eat, your heirs will never lose a bite. Moreover, with your own territory as a guarantee and a blood oath, if you say such a thing, you will basically not repent.
"I only say one thing, this battle will be won!" Niranjan finally took a deep breath and said after his eyes passed over the faces of all the soldiers. Then he turned around, took off his cloak and ordered to his eldest son, "Kaicheng
Door."
With a creaking sound, the heavy east city gate was opened from the inside, and Niranjan, holding a long and short sword, stepped out first.
Then all the soldiers quickly and neatly passed through the city gate. Their boots had been wrapped in dense linen cloth, and the sound of stepping on the ground was much softer. Although they were ready for a strong attack, if they could successfully touch Niranjan
I wouldn't mind taking advantage.
The distance between the two sides was not very close, and although the Han army had night patrols, they did not dare to disperse at night, which gave Niranjan some opportunities.
"General, go ahead and get started. It's impossible to get any closer. The Han army has cleared away all the bushes hundreds of steps around the camp. There is no obstruction at all. The moon and stars are sparse tonight. If we get closer, we might be spotted."
"A captain explained to Niranjan in a low voice.
"How many more steps are there?" Niranjan asked calmly.
"Two hundred steps." The captain visually measured the distance and said. There were braziers and torches in the Han army camp, so from this distance, Kushan could see patrols constantly coming and going in the Han army camp.
"Fifty steps, go forward fifty steps. If you are discovered, then charge directly. If not, wait until one hundred and fifty steps and charge directly." Niranjan quickly made up his mind.
Understand that the Han army must be prepared. It would take dozens of seconds to rush across this distance, and if they are prepared, a few more seconds may make the situation different.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the captain immediately started to move forward on his knees.
Nilanjan believed that there must be people with excellent eyesight among the secret sentries of the Han army. In addition, all the soldiers under his command were wearing Padu armor, which was silver-white and reflective. To be honest, it was a little bit like that.
Conspicuous.
Even if he had put on a large black cloak when he left the city, the exposed parts might still be discovered.
The Han army is very strong. Niranjan's grandfather participated in the original war, so Niranjan understands that facing the Han army, he must show 100% of his strength and be cautious. As long as he can take advantage of any advantage,
Then don't miss it.
Similarly, once the situation is unfavorable, you must make a decisive decision. At the same time, do not forget your own purpose just because the situation is favorable. You must be confident when facing the Han army, and you must not be blindly confident.
[Han Army, I’m here, let me experience for myself what the powerful and invincible Han Army my grandfather said is like.] Niranjan suppressed the restlessness in his heart and entered a calm state that was absolutely difficult to enter normally.
It took Niranjan's leadership a quarter of an hour to reach the distance of fifty steps. Maybe it was luck, maybe it was other reasons, but in short, the secret sentry arranged by the Han Dynasty did not find Kushan.
At this moment, all the Kushan soldiers held their breath and concentrated. At this moment, their breathing became much slower. Their high concentration allowed them to clearly hear the heartbeats of themselves and their comrades. Everyone's performance was outstanding.
They surprised themselves and made no mistakes.
"Be prepared and inform all the soldiers to prepare for action." Niranjan transmitted the message to several thousand commanders, who in turn passed it on to the centurions. The message was passed down layer by layer, and all the soldiers entered a battle-ready state.
"Charge!" The distance of one hundred and fifty steps was enough. Nilanzhan took a deep breath and roared. He rushed towards the Han army's camp first, and then all the soldiers roared and launched.
charge.
This distance is enough. One hundred and fifty steps only takes a dozen seconds, and you can rush over in twenty seconds. This time is enough...
The moment Nilanjan roared up, the shield guards at the outermost edge of the Han camp opened their eyes and stood up. They were dressed in heavy armor and used a hundred-jin shield as a quilt. Even the shield guards couldn't sleep comfortably.
