Chapter 806
When the soldiers on the mountain heard this, their expressions were different. Cheng Pu and Xiahoudun's personal guards several times in a row, but they couldn't stop the buzz in the audience.
Cheng Pu felt the few hot glances that occasionally glimpsed in the crowd. I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, Gan Ning Xiao'er, what a powerful means, the military heart, scattered!
Cheng Pu couldn't think of anything, if they hadn't tried to make the trick down first, Gan Ning would really have no good way for a while except to shout. It was also two people from the mountain who came down to deliver the letter, and Gan Ning had an idea and remembered this.
It's not easy to make a rumor, the ready-made materials are here, you don't have to open your eyes to talk nonsense, just be right.
Xiahoudun's brother and nephews and nieces are really on our side, and I didn't lie. If Xiahoudun comes down the mountain, I, Gan Ning, will definitely be treated as a guest, if he wants to surrender, he will surrender, if he doesn't want to surrender, what's the matter if he sends him back to Jingzhou. Anyway, if you take down all his soldiers and horses, you won't suffer.
If Cheng Pu, a diehard, resolutely refuses to surrender, then instigate the people on the mountain to kill him! If someone really wants to kill Cheng Pu, this reward, Gan Ning has to ask for this reward. It's not enough to stick it with your own money!
Anyway, the words have already been spoken, and as for whether the people on the mountain believe it or not, it's up to them. It doesn't matter if Gan Ning believes it or not. It's still more or less able to make a mess. Ha ha.
Xiahoudun and Cheng Pu returned to the tent, and Cheng Pu said in a deep voice: "We can't delay any longer, launch an attack immediately!" If it drags on any longer, it will be reversed. While you and I can still command the three armies, immediately lead our troops down the mountain and fight to the death with the Han army! ”
Xiahoudun thought more. He said: "At this time, the crowd outside the camp is turbulent, and if you want to send troops, I am afraid that chaos is just around the corner." It is better to press the hour for a while, stay until the evening, and then gather the people of the heart, and raise fire everywhere to confuse the enemy, and we will take this opportunity to break through in one fell swoop. ”
Cheng Pu immediately reacted to why Xiahoudun wanted to leave at night.
If you send troops to fight a decisive battle with the Han army now, you don't know how many people on the mountain will obey their orders. If someone hesitates, someone hesitates. Moreover, the movements on the mountain during the day, the Han army under the mountain will be able to see clearly. And he and Xiahoudun are generals, and the goal is even more obvious, in case there is that wrongdoer in the army, it will really be a joke.
At night, it is different, and the night has a natural cover. While setting fire to people everywhere and confusing the Han army under the mountain, he also made the ill-intentioned people on the mountain confused and gave them no chance. And on your side, you can also take advantage of the chaos up and down the mountain to break through.
As for the decisive battle, let's talk about it at the last minute. Who wants to die if they can live.
The two of them had already decided, so they each called their henchmen to come over, and after giving instructions one by one, they waited for it to get dark. At the foot of the mountain, Gan Ning asked people to take turns shouting for an hour, but when he saw that there was no reaction on the mountain, he felt very bored staying next to him, so he went to rest first.
Before going to bed, he asked the guards to wake up as soon as the sky began to darken.
The red sun is sinking in the west, and the mist and red glow set off the blue sky extraordinarily beautifully. The mountain wind began to get cold. On the top of the mountain, bonfires are lit early to ward off the cold and drive away snakes, insects and beasts.
When a group of soldiers gathered in one place, they caught fire, and they didn't know what they were muttering carefully. A captain of the Jiangdong Military Academy roasted a hare by the light of the fire, shared it with everyone, drank a few more sips of water, only to feel that his bladder was very distended, so he went to a no-man's land outside the camp, took out the guy and began to release the water.
After putting it down, I just carried it and shook it twice, and suddenly found that there seemed to be movement in the forest in front of me. He hurriedly fastened his robe, took the blade in his hand, tiptoed over, and said in a dumb voice, "Who is there?" ”
In the darkness, I saw a dozen or so shadows slowly squirming downward. When he saw someone coming, he immediately stopped. The lieutenant was shocked, and suddenly realized that this was not a beast, but a fugitive. Just as he was about to open his mouth to call, there was a cold in his waist behind him, and a sharp thing pressed against his lower back, and at the same time, his mouth was also covered by someone.
A deep voice sounded in his ears: "Don't make a sound, or you'll die." ”
The lieutenant nodded obediently. Then the knife behind him moved, motioning for him to move forward. He followed him into the darkness, and then he was pounced upon by a crowd of men, laying hands on hands and feet on feet. Then he was tied up, his eyes were blindfolded, and in the midst of the chaos, a foul-smelling and sticky cloth was stuffed into the captain's mouth.
In order to save his life, the captain remained silent. It wasn't until more than an hour later that the black cloth was untied from his eyes. He opened his eyes and was about to look around, when suddenly, a person walked up to him, and his pupils shrank suddenly: "Old Zhou, why are you, what do you want?" ”
This person he knew, and he was a lieutenant in the Jiangdong Army. Lao Zhou squatted down and said to the captain: "Lao Wang, what we are going to do has been seen by you, so we have to do this." Everyone knows each other, and now I'll tell you the truth, we're going to go to the Han army in front of us soon, are you going to go? ”
Captain Wang was shocked in his heart, but he said: "If I don't go, will you let me go?" The corners of Captain Zhou's mouth curled up faintly in the dark.
After taking a breath, Captain Wang immediately changed his words: "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”
Such things are constantly happening in the mountains. And Xiahoudun and Cheng Pu's henchmen, thinking that they would arrange arson, did not even notice it.
Until a group of people fled, the movement was too loud and was discovered by the patrol soldiers, and the whole battalion was shocked. The group of deserters was also bold, and since they were discovered, they simply did not do anything, set a fire in the camp, and then took advantage of the night to escape.
Gan Ning was in the camp and listened to a report from the lieutenant colonel of the battalion that there was a steady stream of enemy troops on the mountain fleeing down the mountain to surrender, and now there were hundreds of them.
Gan Ning was happy in his heart when he heard this, so he commanded: "Take good care of those who have escaped." When this battle is over, let those who want to go home go home. Those who are unwilling to go back will be screened and added to the army. ”
Suddenly, a personal guard came to report: "General, there is a fire on the mountain!" ”
Gan Ning listened to it and hurriedly went out of the camp with his guards. I saw that in the distant night, a little fire slowly became larger, and finally, with the help of the mountain wind, it almost spread. Faintly, I heard the sound of crying and shouting.
Gan Ning hurriedly ordered: "Order the three armies to strictly guard and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to break through!" ”
A group of deserters on the mountain set fire in advance, which completely messed up the mountain. Some of the people who saw the light of the fire came to put out the fire, while others went after the fugitives. Some of the soldiers who did not understand only thought that they had received the signal to set fire, and began to follow the instructions to set fires. Among them, there are many people with strange thoughts, who are also fanning the flames.
On the mountain, the camp of the Jiangdong Army, it was completely chaotic.
