729 Night attack on Gaizhou
In the howling of the cold wind, Yue Tuo hid there and looked up at the head of Gaizhou City. I saw that there were several lanterns hanging there every few zhang, and the wind could not blow, and the light always illuminated a large area under the city. At the edge of the lantern, Sergeant Ariake stood looking out. What made Yue Tuo a little depressed was that these Ming soldiers were standing motionless in the cold wind. In addition, there were several teams of patrol guards patrolling along the city walls.
After a while, a Jianlu beside Yue Tuo couldn't help it, and said to Yue Tuo in a low voice: "Master, the person standing at the head of the city shouldn't be a dummy, right?" ”
This kind of thing is a common thing, and under the night, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, which is very deterrent. After all this time, he was still motionless, so it was no wonder that this experienced white-armored soldier was suspicious!
Yue Tuo listened, frowned and replied in a low voice, "Wait and see!" ”
After saying that, he felt that the light between the two adjacent lanterns was dim, and this might be an opportunity! So, he thought about it again.
In this way, after a long while, finally, Yue Tuo and the others found that the Ming soldiers standing at the head of the city had been beaten, and several people moved. But they were always on their toes and kept watching the movement outside.
"Master, the few people who have moved here must be real, they haven't moved yet, it's been so long, they must be fake!" Jianyu, who had just spoken, spoke again.
Generally speaking, it is certainly impossible for all of them to be fakes, and it is normal to do things like this.
Yue Tuo also affirmed this idea in his heart, he was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a section of the city wall, there were more dummies, and after weighing it in his heart, he immediately turned his head and ordered to a Jianyu beside him: "Go back immediately and tell the emperor, just say that there is a chance to sneak attack, and the emperor's side can also prepare!" ”
It is impossible to take Gaizhou City with these 100 or so people alone, and there must be backup to respond.
The white-armored soldiers who were lurking on the side, when they heard that their master asked them to tell the emperor, they knew that they were going to steal the city. So, one by one, they immediately cheered up and were ready to do a big job!
Yue Tuo told the leader of the white-armored soldiers beside him his plan and said, "After a while, when the patrol posts at the head of the city pass, you will storm these dark places." Even if the Ming army finds out, there are more dummies in these points, and with our force, we can kill them! Got it? ”
These white-armored soldiers were all people who were used to fighting, and Yue Tuo just opened his mouth, and they knew what he would say next, so they all nodded without hesitation.
Yue Tuo saw that they all understood, so he turned his head to look at the city again, while estimating in his heart that the emperor would send another army to respond, and when it would arrive, it would be better to pinch the siege here!
When he was thinking about it, he was suddenly taken aback, suspecting that he was a little dazzled, and immediately asked Jian Yu beside him: "The third one was counted over there just now, did it move?" ”
This man, he came to see it as a dummy. Because he hadn't noticed any movement before, he judged it to be a dummy. But just now he seemed to move, and he was a little skeptical that he was dazzled.
"The master is right, the slave also saw this person move just now." One of his men replied immediately.
When Yue Tuo heard this, his heart suddenly sank. This doesn't seem to be a fake anymore. But this Ming sergeant took so long to move, what kind of military discipline can this do?
Faintly, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. So, he immediately went down and asked his men to keep an eye on the people he thought were dummies, to see if they were indeed dummies!
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Yue Tuo found that among the dummies he had affirmed before, there were movements one after another. Although all of them have not yet been confirmed, as more and more people have been confirmed, his heart is getting colder and colder. In the end, he was even more sure that the remaining few who had not yet moved were definitely not dummies!
Who are these people? I didn't even move for so long! Yue Tuo was very surprised in his heart. He has always believed that the elite white-armored soldiers in the Qing Dynasty must be the most disciplined in military discipline. Unexpectedly, such an army emerged in the Ming army, which had the worst military discipline, how should this military discipline be done? It's all the same as the wooden man!
In this way, there is no chance of sneak attack! Thinking of this, Yue Tuo suddenly secretly said that it was not good. I had already sent someone back to tell the emperor that it was okay to attack. In this way, the emperor's side will send troops to meet them, so as to avoid the fact that it may lead to futility and too many people to waste their efforts at the beginning.
Yue Tuo hurriedly turned his head and ordered one of his subordinates: "Quick, go back immediately and tell the truth, saying that the night attack is not very certain......"
Even if the preface does not match the afterword, it is better than the army sending it out for a while, and the result is in vain.
However, before Yue Tuo's words were finished, he heard movement behind him, and a familiar voice from him asked in a low voice, "How is it, can we start?" ”
Yue Tuo didn't even need to turn his head to look, it was the emperor who sent Ji'er Harang. It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to this night attack. But...... But it's better that the emperor doesn't pay attention to this night attack!
Yue Tuo smiled bitterly in his heart, turned his head to look at Ji'er Harang, who had already come to him, and said: "I was mistaken, the Ming army at the head of the city is a strictly disciplined army that I have never seen, I'm afraid there will be no chance to attack at night!" ”
"Huh?" Zilharang came with a lot of hope, but a basin of cold water was poured in his face, which surprised him, "What's going on, what the hell is going on?" ”
You know, if there is no such thing, the 1,000 troops he brought out don't have to secretly add food at night, and they have to brave the cold wind to sneak out like thieves and sneak over, is this easy?
Yue Tuo also knew that Ji'er Harang would definitely be unhappy, so he hurriedly explained the situation in detail, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I will go to ask for guilt!" ”
When Zilharang heard this, he didn't blame him, but just looked at it carefully, and he found that, as Yue Tuo said, the Ming army at the head of the city had been standing motionless in such a cold temperature. Such military discipline made his back feel a little chilly. He had a hunch that the battle of Gaizhou would not be as easy to fight as he imagined!
Suddenly, Zilharang found something again, was taken aback, and then pointed with his finger and said to Yue Tuo: "Look there, you still ignore a little, those dimly lit places are deliberately done by the Ming army, and there are still secret posts of the Ming army, you take a closer look!" ”
After some tossing, the eastern sky finally revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and Yue Tuo and Zierharang returned to the camp to see Huang Taiji. This night is a toss!
