The wise king looked at Xiao Ruxue, who was about to draw his sword and kill his relatives at any moment, and sighed: "Zhuang Zhi is hungry for Hulu meat, please reply!"
Xu Qing said: "You are joking about drinking the blood of the Huns. My lord, what are you doing here on the battlefield instead of going to bed?"
The wise king said, "After I lay down, I tossed and turned and felt restless, so I got up and came to the barracks to take a look. You did a good job. After nightfall, you only recognized the passwords but not the people. Even I was no exception.
"
Xu Qing said, "Only with strict discipline and strict rules and regulations can we be invincible. This is what you taught me in the beginning, but you were also the first one to almost break the rules."
The veins on the forehead of the wise king jumped: "You kid, can't you save some face for me? That's all, is there anything wrong in the military camp?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "There is no enemy situation, but night will be their best time to attack. During the day, their troops will be exposed to the range of firearms, so patrolling at night is the top priority, and it must be better than
During the day, especially at night like today when the moon is dark and the wind is high."
The wise king said: "Yes, it seems that I am right to entrust you with this patrol task. When you return to the court this time, the voices that oppose you in the court will probably cease to exist. But in the next period of time,
I still want to advise you to keep a low profile and bide your time. If anything is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed. No one can protect you for the rest of your life."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "I will keep this in mind."
The wise king nodded and said: "The number of patrols at night can be increased by a few more teams to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Especially the baggage and firearms side must not be left alone. It must be personally guarded by elites like the Shadow Guards."
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
The wise king had just finished explaining, when he suddenly asked in confusion: "What is the sound?"
Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue looked at each other and said in unison, "Sound? Didn't you hear any sound?"
The Xian Wang closed his eyes, used his power to concentrate for a moment, and then opened his eyes: "The sound of galloping horses! Xu Qing, you guessed it right, the entire army is ordered to assemble in armor, and the firearms battalion is on standby!"
Xu Qing nodded, immediately pulled out the blunderbuss, and shot it diagonally into the sky.
The sound of thunder suddenly resounded through the entire former army camp. Xu Qing looked at the patrolmen who were already gathering towards him and ordered: "Wake up the soldiers of each battalion immediately, and the entire army will be on standby!"
King Xian looked at the fire gun in Xu Qing's hand and said in surprise: "It is quick and easy to assemble the patrol teams with this order."
Xu Qing looked at the calm-looking King Xian and wondered, "They are coming to kill them. Why are you still so calm?"
The wise king smiled and said, "You can think of things that I can't think of? Just wait and see."
As soon as the wise king finished speaking, a roaring sound suddenly came from a distance and penetrated into the entire camp.
Then came the second and third sounds...
There was still a faint light of fire coming from directly in front of the former army camp, and there was even a faint roar of war horses brought by the long wind.
This time it was Xu Qing's turn to be surprised: "Zhentian Lei?!"
The wise king nodded and said: "Yes, thunder."
Xu Qing asked doubtfully, "Aren't the three firearms battalions still sleeping? Is there a fourth firearms battalion?"
The wise king shook his head and said: "On this black moon night, I was worried that even if the scouts discovered the enemy's situation, they would not be able to report back in time. After all, we were both in a galloping state, and our war horses were not as good as the prairie war horses, so I ordered them in advance.
People buried thousands of thunderbolts in the ground, made the fuses longer, and once they discovered the enemy's situation, they would light the fuses and rush back."
"Think about the scene of hundreds of sky-shaking thunder being detonated one after another. I'm afraid that the grassland army was already blown away before it even approached our camp? I guess they are still thinking about why our Chu Kingdom is detonating at night.
He could see it clearly and threw the thunderbolt into their army so accurately, but who would have thought that the thunderbolt was actually buried under their feet."
"You still want to attack the camp at night? It's not certain who will attack whom!"
When Xu Qing heard this, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. King Xian was really a born god of war, so he developed a minefield? Isn't this too shady?
At this time, Xu Qing could imagine the scene of the grassland being dizzy and causing massive casualties.
It is estimated that they were not only wondering why the Chu army could see clearly at night, but also wondering when Chu's firearms could be thrown so far...
The wise king patted Xu Qing on the shoulder and said: "I'm going to put on armor first. You are optimistic about Xue'er. By the way, next time let the Firearms Department try to develop a thunder that explodes when stepped on. This will also save money."
We need to leave a few scouts there to lead the way."
Xu Qing: "..."
Is the wise king talking about trigger landmines?
Has he thought of all this?
Xu Qing only had a wry smile on his face at this time. If he hadn't traveled through time and his knowledge was a thousand years further than the people here, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to defeat these old hard-coins!
The ancient people were so terrible!
The key point is that people like Xian Wang are too terrible, and they will not pay for their lives if they trick people to death!
Xiao Ruxue stretched her neck and looked at the faint fire that was still flickering outside the camp door, as well as the roaring sound.
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said: "Let's go, the military formations at the former army camp are about to assemble. Our task is to patrol the camp, not to go out to fight to kill the enemy. It is our responsibility to defend the military camp."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and followed Xu Qing to the military camp, ignoring the roaring sounds.
…
Today's Chu army has not completely entered the era of thermal weapons, and there is still a long way to go before the real era of thermal weapons. In other words, for a long time, military formations and personal force will still be the main weapons of Chu.
military means.
Although everyone in the army of Chu State saw the huge advantages of firearms, it was simply impossible to complete a war solely relying on firearms.
Nowadays, the Chu State's firearms can at most only provide certain support to the military formation before the Liang army comes into close combat. The final harvest must be done by the traditional military formation.
The wise king undoubtedly has a clear understanding of the current situation. He has been maximizing the value of firearms while continuing to innovate and develop military formations.
The Chu State's military formation is unparalleled in the world and invincible inside and outside the Central Plains. If the military formation is abandoned because of the availability of firearms, what is the difference between this and the prairie people who use their horses and cut off their limbs?
Especially in such a night battle, the firearms can at best be buried underground and fired up. Do you really have to throw them at artillery and bomb-dropping vehicles to find the target?
In the end, isn't it going to be decided by hand-to-hand combat?
At this time, the wise king had already put on armor, rode on a war horse and stepped out of the camp gate with the shadow guards guarding him. Looking at the still flickering firelights, his eyes filled with desire from the depths of his heart.
The few things that most impress a man: receiving orders from heaven, he will live a long and prosperous life; being sealed to a wolf as a cub, and drinking from a horse in the vast sea: leaving a name in history, and being an unparalleled scholar in the country.
If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever.
He doesn't care.
His name will be left in history and his country will be unparalleled.
He doesn't care either.
Only the wolf can live in Xu, and the horse can drink from the vast ocean.
The highest honor of a military commander and the ultimate dream of a military commander made him unable to restrain himself.
And today, he finally led the most elite army of Chu State, representing the Central Plains to re-enter the grassland, and the main force of the grassland is only a short distance away from him!
