The bonfire of the Chu army will rise smoke and dust, and the evening is not too dark, but the chariot that is the main force of the war at this time can no longer be dispatched.

Gongsun Ze and the others quietly stepped forward with the leading ink man, forbidding to speak out, so as not to alarm the Chu people.

This kind of night attack on Gongsun Ze is the first time to do it, and it is said that in his opinion, the war should be a dignified and upright formation, a chariot competition, not a city or a territory, but only a maintenance of etiquette.

It's just that he doesn't know that his bottom line is constantly changing with the times, and he is not as extremely opposed to this night attack as the rest of the world.

Times have changed.

Gongsun Ze still prefers the way of war decades ago.

At that time, Jin Chu fought several battles around Song and Zheng, and the battles at that time still had a polite temperament.

In the battle of Liangtang, although the Chu people first used a strategy to pretend to make peace with Jin, the whole process of the decisive battle is still talked about by Gongsun Ze, thinking that it was the war it should be.

At that time, the Chu people first sent Xu Bo, Lebo, and Uncle Regent to challenge the Jin army on bicycles, and the three of them had a car to show off their might.

After approaching the Jin army, Che Youshu jumped into the military base, killed one person to take his left ear, and captured one person alive.

The Chu people were very vigorous, and the Jin people sent troops to chase and kill this chariot, Lebo saw that he couldn't escape, and just happened to be startled out of an elk in the field, Lebo shot it with a bow, jumped off the chariot and took the elk, and dedicated it to Bao Kui, the Jin general who pursued them.

Bao Kui got the elk, everyone is a nobleman, and the etiquette that should be talked about still needs to be taught, so he ordered to stop the pursuit.

This is full of aristocratic spirit, when the Chu people challenged with bicycles, the Jin people did not use some "shameless" tactics to destroy the chariots; During the pursuit, relying on the noble spirit, the chariot of the Chu people also fled back.

It's just that these things have only recently passed, and today there are few people who fight such battles again.

Gongsun Ze secretly thought that at that time, it was already considered rude, but now it is rude and unhappy.

The moon rising in the east dyed the surroundings a strange bright white, and someone next to him coughed softly, and Gongsun Ze smiled secretly.

When he first went to the battlefield, he also coughed like this, and his mouth felt a little dry, and he couldn't save saliva.

He didn't seem to like the quiet, so he wanted to cough softly and make a little noise to make sure he was alive.

However, this is not the first time he has been on the battlefield, and many of the people present should not be the first time, it's just

Probably for the first time, they chose to fight on foot instead of riding in a chariot.

Regarding the choice of the ink man, Gongsun Ze felt that he might have given up on Shang Qiu's idea of counterattacking the Chu army by himself: these soldiers might die, and if these people died, then it would be impossible to have enough chariots to counterattack.

In the decisive battle between Sun Shuao and Jin Liuqing, Pan Shudang, who had been the second marksman in the world because of his support for Youji, relied on forty chariots to join the left flank of the Chu army against the Jin people's Chinese army, causing the Jin people to retreat because they were worried that Jiao Zhuo would be defeated by the Chu army.

Forty vehicles can sometimes turn the tide of a war for supremacy.

Gongsun Ze felt that if his people were riding chariots, even if they were in groups of three, there would still be forty chariots, and these chariots driven by them were by no means comparable to those ordinarily trained chariot soldiers.

The ink man will not be unclear, nor will he not know the importance of the chariot warriors, but he still chooses to let them fight on foot, and he must have completely given up the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with the Chu people.

Gongsun Ze thought secretly: "Now that the situation is like this, the ink master will only defend and not attack, and in the end, he can only rely on the three Jin to help." It's just that what is the difference between the Jin people and the Chu people? If the Jin people come in the future and the prince is humiliated, what can I do? ”

Thinking of the words that Rishi insulted these people that day, the more I thought about it, the more sad I became: so far, the cultivation of the priests is enough to replace farming, but the country is surrounded, and they can only rely on the Mo to help defend it.

"If we scholars can share the worries of the monarch and defeat the imperial court, so that the Chu people do not covet it, why do we need these ink people? At that time, Shang Tang raised an army with 40 chariots and Gou Jian formed an army with 3,000 Yue armor, as long as the king can practice benevolent government and the scholars can return to their hearts, where will there be opportunities for the activities of the ink scholars? ”

Just as he was thinking wildly, the ink man who led the team in front of him whispered: "It's close to the Chu camp, and if you cross the military base, you can fight." The guards in front are all vain, and they have no fighting spirit, as long as they bluff, they will panic the Chu people. In the middle of the night, the chariot cannot be moved, the order is not passed, and the Chu people do not know how many of us, so they will not dare to move. ”

"The rise of the unkillable, put us first, and do not disperse. If they are scattered, they will not be able to return, and they will be captured by the Chu people. ”

"If you are captured, don't be afraid. We will return the Chu captives first, and the Chu people will not kill you. After all...... You are soldiers, not farmers! ”

The last sentence was a bit sarcastic, and everyone only snorted coldly, but they also took it for granted that they still had a chance to be redeemed if they were captured.

Xu was that these people were too close, and finally a Chu army patrolling the night found them, and exclaimed in Chu language, which immediately caused the Chu camp to shake.

The leading inkman shouted, and Gongsun Ze stepped forward and crossed the military base, just thinking that he should not be underestimated by the inker.

"I don't care about the rest, but I'm a scholar. If I am not as good as the inkman, I will be laughed at when I go back. His mouth is like a poisonous snake, and when the time comes, he will not only laugh at me, but also mock the people of the Song Land, and say something that is not as good as a farmer! ”

I don't know when, he is extremely concerned about the appropriate comments, and he has the desire to spare his life in his heart, but also takes the lead.

The shouting Chu man waved a short Ge to meet the attack, Gongsun Ze only looked at the other party's means, and knew that it was not his opponent, taking advantage of the opportunity when the short Ge was too strong to retract, he stabbed forward, hitting the man's heart.

Whoever wields the sword well will stab.

It's just that this thorn needs to be honed for more than ten years before you can forget the instinctive slash, the apprentice who wields the short Ge usually has to farm, only the winter martial arts, where can it be stopped, the heart was stabbed and fell to the ground suddenly, screaming.

The rest of the people also followed, following the ink man with a white cloth wrapped around his arms in front of him towards the center of the Chu camp.

The Chu people were already slack, and they never thought that the guards in front were all peasant soldiers, and the night attack was not something they could guard against.

Under the cover of night, I don't know how many people came out of the city, but I just listened to the shouts and killings around me.

The man who led the team was proficient in the Chu dialect, could hear the sounds around him, knew where the soldiers were, and took out the means of propaganda that were suitable for ordinary times, shouting loudly, and only saying some words that shook people's hearts.

These disciples thought, "What does it matter to me to win or lose?" When they are victorious and have no reward from us, when their parents are killed but there is no one to provide for them, and their wives and children are robbed, why are they fighting to the death? ”

"Besides, everyone is running, aren't those people shouting what kind of law is not to blame the people, if everyone is running, is it difficult to ban everyone to be killed?"

"It's important to save your life! But when someone runs, we run! ”

At first, three or five people thought like this, and as soon as they ran, they led the rest of them to flee, and for a while there was great chaos.

…………

The news of the night attack in the city soon reached the king of Chu, and someone climbed the tower to look at it, found the abnormal movement of the camp, and hurriedly informed the king of Chu.

There were drums beating on the top of the city, shouting and bluffing.

The night attack has never happened, and how to deal with it can only be to stick to it and stay up until dawn.

For the defending side, the night attack will certainly not be able to figure out the number and purpose of the attacker, and it may seem passive, but it is also the same for the attacker.

Nor can the attackers complete an effective attack at night, and at most they can only provoke chaos in the camp: a purposeful, organized night attack requires a great deal of organization, which is difficult for an army to do in this day and age, and to search for hundreds

It is extremely difficult to find someone who is organized, disciplined, and at the same time has the will to fight to the death.

The nobles in the Chu camp woke up one after another, and they could only collect their private soldiers, chariots, and deployments first, keep their basic plate first, and then gradually move closer to the king of Chu.

Other nobles who led the army could not act rashly, and if they made any move, it would cause chaos in the army, and when the apprentices did not know what to do, it would cause a very serious mess.

The king of Chu has his own car wide, and there are close attendants, and most of the people who do the right of the king of Chu's car are nobles who are good at shooting and flashing, and there are camps left by the previous ink man's "Welcoming the Enemy Temple" around, and he can defend himself.

On the high platform of the wooden tower, the king of Chu, Sima, Zuo Yin and others climbed up and looked, seeing the sound of killing on the left wing, extremely chaotic, and secretly worried in their hearts.

I said before that I would form an alliance with the ink man, but it did not mean that the two sides would cease fighting, although there was moonlight in the night, but I couldn't see clearly, I don't know how many people came, and I don't know how many people attacked.

At this time, there was no order, the armies were in confusion, and they did not know how to deal with it, and there were many private soldiers, and the newly recruited peasant soldiers before the expedition were really unable to hold on.

The general of Chu was quite worried, but he didn't want the king of Chu to look at the camp that was attacked in the distance, and suddenly laughed.

Everyone was puzzled, but the king of Chu said: "Don't worry! The city is only a raid, not a decisive battle, but the armies can be ordered to strictly guard the camp, not to move, and not to support! ”

"All armies light torches, light bonfires, and move forward with bows and crossbows, and do not move privately, and whoever moves privately, kill!"

Zuo Yin Jin said: "I'm afraid that the city wants to break the siege...... But if you don't move, and the armies can't take care of each other, won't it be chaotic? ”

The king of Chu laughed and said, "There will not be many people in the night attack. If there is a night attack before sunrise, I will guard against the counterattack in the city, but if it is late to-day, what shall I worry about? ”

"If there are not many people, you can't break the formation, at most you can only mess up a corner. I see that the city is nothing more than trying to burn the soldiers' rations at night, but let the various camps stay still for the time being, and I will bring your own chariots and Guangjia soldiers to disperse them. ”

"Night raiders must be elite soldiers, and ordinary soldiers cannot fight at night, and we can only drive them away."

When the nobleman on the right side of the car heard this, he hurriedly persuaded: "No! How can the king be in danger? Why don't you wait here until dawn before making a decision? ”

King Chu laughed and said, "Tianming? When the day dawns, the people who attack the harassers retreat with their whole bodies, will not they fall into the prestige of our army, and their morale will inevitably be weakened! ”

"I've already made a decision, the city is just an attack, it will not be a decisive battle out of the city, don't worry! Just let the armies hold on! Che Guang and his attendants follow me to drive away the night raiders in the city! ”
