That night, Cheng Xiaolian's military camp was the same as in the past, only those who were in it could notice the difference inside, those soldiers had eaten and all of them did not take off their armor and sat on the ground in the camp, everyone back to back.

"You said that His Highness asked us to guard here, will those Manchu people come?"

"It will definitely come, our Highness has never miscalculated one thing from the beginning to the present, that is really the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, I know five hundred years before, and five hundred years later, this time the Manchu soldiers met us and counted them unlucky."

"Yes, His Highness's orders are sometimes strange, but every time I can block the enemy's surprise attack, I am really sleepy now and I can't open my eyes, now let me lie down, I can definitely sleep until dawn."

"Let's squint for a while, and if something happens in a while, we'll wake each other up."

Cheng Xiaolian was a little uneasy in the camp tent, he believed that if Tuhai really sneaked into the shadow, it would not be so simple, but he really couldn't think of what way he would steal the shadow, and now the situation in the army could not make any complete preparations, so that the soldiers would not fall into a deep sleep was already a big gamble.

Finally, a brocade-clothed guard rushed into the camp: "Your Highness, the gate of Tongguan City is open. ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Really here?" Immediately inform all the officers and men in the army to get ready. ”

Tu Hai stood silently above the city: "You said that if the rebels of the former Ming Dynasty guessed that we would steal the camp, what would we do?" ”

"Haha, even if they guess it, they have to drink the handsome footwashing water."

There was a burst of laughter from the city, and Tu Haiyi waved his hand: "If they can still cope with this pass, I can only sigh that the luck is not good, and then withdraw from Tongguan." ”

A group of cavalry first ran out of the city gate, and then quickly closed the city gate, and the brocade guards who spying on the news felt that something was wrong with the situation, and immediately reported the news back to the camp.

Cheng Xiaolian got the news: "What did you say? How many cavalry came out of the city? ”

"It's very dark, and my subordinates can't see clearly, but the gap between opening and closing the city gate is not very long, and my subordinates think that there shouldn't be too many people."

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Chen Chengan and Jia Xu, who had not spoken in the camp tent: "Tell me what the situation is, since Tuhai is going to attack at night, why did you only send a cavalry?" ”

Jia Xu thought for a while: "Maybe he thinks that a small group of cavalry is enough to make our camp chaotic, and the small group of cavalry can advance and retreat freely, even if we are prepared, we will not wipe out all the men and horses of Tuhai here." ”

Cheng Xiaolian thought for a while: "It's still not right, now it's a matter of life and death, and it's impossible for Tuhai to be so petty." ”

Chen Chengan coughed: "I don't think we need to guess, it's just a small group of cavalry, as long as they don't burn the camp from the fire, we will be as stable as Mount Tai in the camp, and even in order to cooperate with them, they can also create a panicked scene, since Tuhai has made a move, naturally there is another move, and the worst result is that these people deliberately attack in order not to let us sleep, so that we have no energy to attack the city tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Just as you said, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the ground, immediately notify the soldiers in the camp, once they attack and disturb outside, pretend to be disrupted, and Wang Jiyong will lead the cavalry on the periphery, once they want to set fire to the camp, eat them immediately." ”

Soon the generals went down to prepare, only Chen Chengan and Jia Xu were left in the big tent, looking at Jia Xu's somewhat discouraged appearance, Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Jia Shusheng, let me tell you a story, when I used to go to school, there was a classmate in the school, who was very fun-loving, he played and I played with him, but he was always among the best, and I was named Sun Shan every time, do you know why?" ”

Jia Xu didn't think at all that people like Cheng Xiaolian couldn't go to school at all, but just asked with his words: "Why?" ”

"Some people are born smart, there are things he can do at a glance, but you have to look at it for a long time, but a glance will not necessarily be able to do the whole thing, you can't run a short distance but you can compete with others for long-distance running, Chen Chengan is really suitable for advice, because he is sensitive to the reasons for things, and can quickly analyze the motives, and you can slowly lay out a big picture, have you ever played Go? Before the end, it is not known who will kill the deer. ”

Chen Chengan laughed on the side: "If Your Highness says so, I won't be happy, although I am good at making decisions, but I may not be bad at layout, Mr. Jia is not necessarily better than me, I still have to compete if I have the opportunity." ”

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside the camp, and then there were bursts of cheers, and the camp immediately reacted.

"You see, I'll just say that our Highness is the reincarnation of Zhuge Kongming, and he has never miscalculated, and these conspiracies and tricks of the Manchu Tartars can't escape his eyes at all, and we will definitely be able to win this battle."

"Yes, Your Highness can pinch and calculate, but why don't you let us kill those Manchu Tartars and leave a piece of armor behind, but stay here and pretend to be a mess?"

"Phew, Zhang Gouzi, if you know His Highness's thoughts, you still need to be a big soldier with us here, just listen to His Highness's orders with peace of mind, if it weren't for His Highness, we would have let the horse's hooves be crushed into pulp."

Tu Hai at the head of the city snorted: "Sure enough, there is no defense, you must have just woken up when you heard this scream." ”

"Dashuai, why don't we take the opportunity to kill the city, we will definitely be able to kill them."

Tu Hai snorted: "This is just a side dish for drinking, the real hard dish is still behind, what are you anxious about, sooner or later there will be a chance for you to go into battle and kill, if you can't win at that time, I will cut off your heads." ”

A brocade-clothed guard rushed into Cheng Xiaolian's camp: "Your Highness, those Manchu cavalry have withdrawn. ”

Cheng Xiaolian's face was a little gloomy: "They really came to disturb them." If that's the case, there's really nothing we can do. ”

The purpose of this kind of cavalry attack is to make the soldiers in the camp unable to rest, and if you fight him with real swords and guns, he will turn around and run, and when you go back to sleep, they will immediately turn back again. Few people can sleep peacefully under the hooves of horses, and who can guarantee that these cavalrymen will not suddenly come in, just like you always have a knife around your neck, which will be cut down at any time, who can sleep?

Chen Chengan waved his hand: "Your Highness, don't be impatient, I don't think things will be so simple." If it is just for the sake of attacking, it is impossible for Tuhai to grasp the situation under the city, we can send a small force of cavalry to fight with them, the large battalion can be as stable as Mount Tai, Tuhai will not make such a small bet, we have to wait. ”

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "It can only be like this now, I hope Tuhai is bolder, but don't thunder and rain." ”
