In the dark night, there are no stars, even the moon is hidden in the dark clouds.
The Zhou army's garrison was brightly lit, and the night patrol soldiers did not dare to be careless at all, patrolling every place within a five-mile radius.
The night when I can't see my fingers is quite eerie, like a storm is about to come and the wind is blowing all over the building.
The atmosphere in the military tent was even more solemn.
The generals, who were still full of momentum during the day, all had their heads drooped and looked a little nervous.
Lin Kuohai's eyes were bloodshot. At this moment, someone opened the tent and walked in. It was a school captain.
Seeing several generals including Lin Kuohai looking back at him one by one, the captain in charge of night patrol was startled and stammered, "General."
"How is the situation?" Lin Kuohai rubbed his face.
The captain said quickly, "There is nothing unusual. The night patrol soldiers are all watching. There is nothing unusual about the enemy."
"That's good." Lin Kuohai breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since he escaped back to the big tent, Lin Kuohai had been worried that Qian Jun would take advantage of the victory and pursue him.
What surprised them was that after the Qianjun fought such a beautiful battle, they just patted their butts and returned to Feiyan Pass.
This really made people confused, so he didn't care and sent more soldiers to patrol.
However, from noon until dark, there was still no movement in the army.
One person said casually, "It seems that Qianjun became proud after winning a battle and didn't take us seriously."
The tone of this man's words sounded relieved for some reason.
He seemed to be glad that Qian Jun did not pursue the victory.
In fact, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. If the Ganjun had attacked earlier, they would have been panicked and didn't know how to respond.
Everyone gathered together and thought about it all day long, but they still haven't figured it out yet.
How on earth did Yue's 20,000 cavalry disappear?
We were charging so well, but why were the people gone all of a sudden?
During this period, an explosion was heard. Could it be that the Qian army used gunpowder?
But that’s not right, our Zhou State is also developing gunpowder, but doesn’t it have to go through a process before it explodes?
Guan Yue is not an idiot, and he is still at the forefront. If he discovers that the enemy is using gunpowder, will he still rush forward stupidly?
"Has there been any news from the commander?"
After a moment of silence, Lin Kuohai asked.
The captain said quickly, "Go back to the general. The commander didn't reply."
After the defeat, Lin Kuohai immediately reported the news to Wu Xiong who was in charge of the central army. Now he felt that he, the vanguard general, could not withstand the situation.
But Wu Xiong did not respond immediately.
This made Lin Kuohai a little upset. Should he continue to fight or should he remain in a stalemate?
In fact, Wu Xiong was a little confused at the moment, just because the battle report sent by Lin Kuohai was a bit strange. It was written for most of the article, but he didn't understand it.
To sum it up in one sentence, Guan Yue and his men went up, and then Guan Yue and his men disappeared together.
What the hell kind of battle report is this?
Wu Xiong also thought about whether Qian's army used gunpowder, so he was studying with the craftsmen in the military camp what method the other party used to severely damage the cavalry under Guan Yue's command.
In addition, hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed for hundreds of miles, and Wu Xiong's tent was a full seventy miles away from Lin Kuohai and the others. It was not easy to deliver the news.
Since there is no news
, Lin Kuohai, who had been tense all day, stopped waiting and looked up at everyone, "Inform us to step up patrols."
"We will obey."
Several generals in the vanguard army responded quickly, and Lin Kuohai didn't say anything else. He personally led people on a tour and then went back to his tent to rest.
He was highly nervous during the day, and now that he relaxed, he felt a little tired. .??.
Although Lin Kuohai was already very careful, sending extra manpower and personally inspecting the area.
But he still didn't expect that the reason why Zhao Kang didn't take advantage of the victory during the day was simply intentional.
At that time, if the army rushes over, it can indeed expand the victory.
But after all, Lin Kuohai's station was closely connected with the rest of Zhou's troops.
After the pursuit in broad daylight, if the Zhou soldiers reacted, they would be in trouble.
Therefore, Zhao Kang was not in a hurry to expand his victory, but chose to conduct a sneak attack at night.
"The weather is so beautiful tonight."
Looking up at the starless night sky, Zhao Kang smiled with satisfaction. It was just midnight.
That is what is often called midnight in TV dramas, which is exactly eleven o'clock at night.
In Feiyan Pass, the army has been assembled.
Zhao Kang did not wear armor, but carried a long spear.
"Nangonglong."
Nangong Long, a third-level master with a heavy sword on his back, quickly responded, "National Master."
Zhao Kang said softly, "Take your people to clear the way, and remember not to expose yourself. Most of the soldiers' patrol areas at night are within a five-mile radius of the station. After touching them, you don't need to do anything. You only need to count several waves of people patrolling at night." , figure out their time gap. Can it be done?"
Nangonglong grinned, "Guo
Isn’t it okay to look down on people? If we can’t handle such a trivial matter, our past wandering around in the world has been in vain, right?”
Zhao Kang laughed and said, "Okay, then it's up to you!"
Logically speaking, this kind of thing is usually done by scouts, but if Zhao Kang has warriors like Nangong Long on hand, the effect will be better than that of scouts.
Because these people are all masters, if their whereabouts are exposed, they can kill the enemy as quickly as possible.
The most important point of this night attack was to allow Li Goudan's artillery force to advance to the enemy's garrison.
As for the artillery position, Li Goudan has already chosen it.
In front of the camp of the Zhou Kingdom's Pioneer Army, there is a hilly area that is not too steep, with gentle slopes, but the ground is a bit rugged, but this doesn't matter.
As long as the cannon can advance up to this point, you don't even need to aim from a high position, you can just shoot at will.
You can blow up someone with your eyes closed! After one round of bombing, let Li Long and Sun Fang lead the Blue Dragon and White Tiger Army to rush in, and the battle will be over in minutes.
The army began to leave Feiyan Pass. Zhao Kang really mobilized all his troops this time, and not a single army remained in Feiyan Pass.
Only five cannons were left behind, so it can't be said that the rear was completely empty.
During the thirty-mile journey, everyone moved forward in disbelief, and the speed of touching quietly was naturally not fast.
By the time Nangonglong's people came to respond, two hours had passed.
It was already past three in the morning, which is when people are most sleepy.
Nangonglong and others were lying behind a hill. When they saw Zhao Kang coming, he waved quickly.
Zhao Kang leaned over and lowered his voice, "How is the situation?"
Nangong Long also whispered, "There are four groups of soldiers patrolling the Imperial Guard at night. They change every quarter of an hour. The number is about three hundred..."
