Chapter 372: Ten miles back
After eating, Yan Yan instructed: "The army will set off immediately and return to Baocheng." When it gets dark, find an open place to stay! ”
At the sound of the order, the soldiers sitting on the ground stood up one after another and rushed back in formation.
The remnant sun hung in the sky, revealing a touch of red, dyeing half of the sky red.
At this point, it was getting late, and it was even more difficult to continue the march on the mountain path. From time to time, there is always a soldier who does not see the pothole clearly, and his center of gravity is unstable after stepping on the air, and one stumbles to the ground. Fortunately, the march of the army was slow, otherwise one soldier would fall to the ground, and the rest of the soldiers would quickly swarm up, immediately crushing the fallen soldier to a pulp.
Yan Yan saw that the soldiers were having difficulty in traveling, and he was a little worried in his heart, when would he be able to return to Baocheng at such a speed.
Coincidentally, Yan Yan saw that this place was open and some distance from the mountains and forests, so he immediately ordered the army to set up camp and stop to rest.
The bright moon in the sky, exuding a cold glow, illuminates the dark night.
In the camp tent, Yan Yan was wearing armor, with a big ring knife beside him, thinking about how to deal with Wang Can.
Yan Yan is in his early thirties and not yet forty years old, but his temples have a faint weather, and his knife-like face also shows a tired look. Becoming like this is all due to Wang Can. Yan Yan had just arrived in Baocheng, and he was full of spirit, his hair was as black as ink, but it had only been less than a month, but he had a look of old age, all of which was too exhausting to cause this situation.
He sat in the big tent, closed his eyes and pondered, thinking about the scenes of fighting with Wang Can, and carefully calculating.
Reflect on the past and focus on the future.
Only by figuring out the previous things and thinking about it can Yan Yan be able to deal with Wang Can better.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to deal with Wang Can. However, Yan Yan's bright eyes instantly dimmed again, and he felt that Wang Can was very likely to see through this plan. At this time, Yan Yan had been made all the grass and trees by Wang Can, and he had become a frightened bird, and he was not even confident in the way he suddenly thought of.
This is also the situation that Yan Yan has been hit by Wang Can for a long time.
It is also common sense for this kind of thing to happen.
Except for people who are particularly resilient in their bones, ordinary people who have been hit for a long time will become mentally fragile, and their confidence will be insufficient. Moreover, especially for people who are particularly proud in their bones, if they can't be more frustrated and brave after being frustrated, the greater the impact.
Yan Yan took a deep breath, calmed down the restlessness in his heart, and then left the camp with the big ring knife to patrol the night.
After some inspection, the soldiers all performed their duties and were vigilant.
The soldiers in charge of the night patrol were cautious, and the soldiers guarding outside the camp did not dare to slack off. Yan Yan saw that everything was as usual in the camp and there was no situation, so he slowly returned to the camp tent, put down the big ring knife, took off his clothes and went to sleep.
……
Outside the camp, in the woods fifty meters away from the camp.
A group of about fifty soldiers hid in the woods, looking solemn.
These soldiers were all dressed in the uniforms of the Hanzhong Army, and more than 20 of them were holding horns and preparing to blow the trumpets; There were more than 20 people holding mallets, ready to beat the drums of war; There are also more than a dozen people standing around, responsible for guarding. The leading soldier was a colonel in the Hanzhong Battalion. He counted the time, waited for the full moon to disappear, and then commanded: "Give me all the strength, get ready, and listen to my orders." After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the little school shouted, "Drumming! Trumpet! ”
In an instant, the drums of war and the sound of trumpets sounded in unison.
The sound of the majestic war drums sounded in the woods, spreading out of the woods.
At the same time, the high-pitched and impassioned sound of the horn also soared into the sky, echoing in the woods, and spreading out wave after wave.
The sound of the two instruments sounding in unison made the eardrums of the soldiers beating the war drums and blowing the horns feel a pain in their eardrums, but the soldiers still mustered their strength, beating the war drums and blowing the horns diligently, and the high sound kept spreading outward and reaching Yan Yan's camp.
The sound came from the woods, immediately alerting the soldiers on the night patrol.
"Enemy attack!"
"Enemy attack!"
……
The soldiers on the night patrol roared loudly and quickly gathered at the gate of the camp to wait. The soldiers stationed at the gate of the camp also opened their eyes wide, looking at the situation in the distance of the camp.
However, it was pitch black outside the camp and nothing was found.
Not long after Yan Yan fell asleep, he was awakened by the sound of war drums.
He hurriedly got up, and the soldier in charge of the night vigil walked to Yan Yan's side, dressed Yan Yan in clothes and armor, and tied Yan Yan's belt. Before he could put on his helmet, Yan Yan ran outside the camp tent with the big ring knife and helmet on the desk, and when he hurriedly rushed out of the camp with his helmet, the sound of drums and trumpets from the woods died down, and suddenly stopped, and there was no more movement.
At this time, all the resting soldiers had already come out of the tents, assembled in the camp, and waited for battle. Yan Yan frowned, rode his horse to the gate of the camp, and asked, "Is there an enemy attack?" ”
The soldier on the night patrol said: "Returning to the general, there is only the sound of war drums and horns, and there is no enemy attack. ”
Yan Yan stretched out his head and looked at it carefully, then waved his hand and said, "Order the soldiers to go back to the camp tent to rest." ”
"No!"
Yan Zhi replied and ordered the soldiers to return to the camp tent to rest.
Yan Yan patrolled the camp again before returning to the tent. Entering the camp tent, Yan Yan put the big ring knife and helmet on the desk, and another soldier stepped forward to remove Yan Yan's armor. However, as soon as the soldiers lifted the shoulder pads on Yan Yan's shoulders, they heard the sound of majestic war drums and high-pitched horns outside the camp tent.
Drums beat and trumpets sounded.
Yan Yan looked serious, grabbed the helmet and big ring knife on the desk, ignored the messy outfit on his body, and immediately ran out of the camp.
He got out of the camp, turned on his horse, and ran quickly towards the gate of the camp.
Yan Yan was worried in his heart, but the soldiers were in a hurry.
Because of the interval in between, the soldiers had already taken off their clothes and lay down on the beds to sleep.
However, just under the tower, the sound of war drums sounded again, which made the soldiers immediately get up again, hurriedly put on their clothes, tied their belts, picked up the weapons that were placed in the camp tent, and ran out of the camp tent. When the soldiers gathered together, they were all crooked, disheveled, and looked quite embarrassed.
Yan Yan rode his horse and stood at the door of the tent, waiting for the army to assemble.
However, when all the soldiers were assembled, the noisy sound of war drums and trumpets outside the camp suddenly ceased, and suddenly silence became silent.
Yan Yan's brows were deeply locked, and there was a solemn look in his eyes.
It was this kind of irritating scheme again, and Yan Yan felt a headache.
Yan Zhi stood beside Yan Yan, he was a straight intestine, and he said whatever he thought of in his heart: "General, there were two drums and horns outside the camp, but there were no soldiers attacking, it should be Wang Can who sent soldiers to the woods to bluff, and it was deliberately to make our army uneasy." General, why don't you order the whole battalion to sleep peacefully, even if you hear the sound of war drums from outside the camp, you can ignore it. In this way, wouldn't Wang Can's plan to attack and harass be self-defeating. ”
Yan Yan pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "Those who make good use of soldiers, there is no certainty of truth and falsehood, if when the war drums and horns sounded, Wang Can really sent troops to attack, and all the soldiers in the camp fell asleep, and no one rose up to resist, wouldn't my army be captured, and everyone would become Wang Can's prisoners." ”
Yan Zhi heard this, nodded, and agreed.
Yan Yan took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Tell all the soldiers in the battalion to sleep in their clothes." ”
"No!"
Yan Zhi clenched his fists and shouted, then turned around to carry out the order. Yan Yan shouted: "Slow, tell the soldiers to put their weapons beside them, and when they get up, it is convenient to pick up their weapons." ”
"The last will obey."
After Yan Zhi listened, he immediately conveyed the order.
The camp was quiet again.
……
In the woods, the soldier beating the drum asked, "My lord, it's time to beat the drum again, right?" ”
The little colonel who was in charge of issuing the order shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's still early, after Yan Yan sleeps soundly, wouldn't it be more interesting for us to beat the drum to wake Yan Yan up." Isn't this a disturbing plan just to be unexpected in order to have an effect, don't you say? ”
"Yes, my lord has a point!"
When the soldiers in the woods heard this, they all laughed and smiled with joy on their faces.
……
In the tent, Yan Yan still hadn't fallen asleep.
He lay on the bed, his eyes slightly open, waiting for the war drums to sound again.
However, after waiting for a long time without the sound of war drums, Yan Yan's spirit was already tired, and after a short time, he had already fallen asleep. Just after Yan Yan fell asleep, the sound of war drums and horns suddenly sounded outside the camp, and the two sounds kept coming, making Yan Yan hurriedly lift the quilt, turn over and get up from the bed, and run towards the outside of the camp tent with a big ring knife.
When they came to the outside of the camp tent, they were still the same, and they did not find the enemy.
Seeing such a situation, Yan Yan's heart was even more irritable.
Wang Can was too cunning to use this kind of indiscriminate scheme.
However, this strategy is also very useful, it can attack the enemy camp, and between the virtual and the real, it is even more unguardable, and he is willing to use this kind of strategy. Yan Yan's spirit has long been exhausted, and now he has been tossed repeatedly, and he is even more sluggish, and he can't stand it anymore. He was silent for a moment, and shouted: "The army set off overnight and retreated ten miles!" ”
After Yan Zhi listened, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved.
He was also mentally exhausted, his nerves were tense all the time, and he was about to become a frightened bird.
Stepping back immediately is undoubtedly the best option. The army set out overnight and retreated ten miles after pulling out the village, no longer affected by the sound of trumpets and war drums.
At this time, the soldiers hiding in the woods were all overjoyed when they heard the news that Yan Yan led the army to retreat, with bright smiles on their faces, and the soldiers were as excited as if they had won a big battle. However, these soldiers did not choose to continue to advance, but continued to go deep into the mountains and forests, and walked in the direction of Wang Can's camp.
Yan Yan retreated ten miles, and he was much closer to Baocheng.
There is no way forward, but to retreat.
This is Yan Yan's current situation.
