It was more than ten miles away. It was difficult for the night sentry to notice a spark blooming in the night sky without knowing it. However, the sentry guarding everywhere in the camp saw many sparks blooming in the north sky one after another, and the fool knew something was wrong.

It is obvious that the cavalry on his side, who were guarding more than ten miles north, discovered the enemy situation, cast the monkey to warn the camp that an enemy came from the north...

No! Sparks are also blooming in the night sky to the west, and enemies are also present in the west!

The generals on the night thought so. They saw the sparks constantly blooming in the night sky and understood that the military situation was urgent.

At the same time, the soldiers who used "Shangfeng's ears" to listen to the movements around also heard different movements in the north and west: it seemed that a large number of horses were running.

The soldiers immediately reported the situation to the supervisor. In accordance with the warning regulations, the supervisor would shake the hand-cranked sirens.

A sharp whistle suddenly sounded, waking up Yuwen Wen, who was sleeping. He rolled to the side without hesitation, and when he got up, he was already holding an air gun in his hand.

Yuwen Wen looked around vigilantly, guards guarded him, and the soldiers who were awakened stood up in the bonfires everywhere.

In order to avoid being trapped in the sleeping bag when attacked, the sleeping bag used by Yuwen Wen and other soldiers was not cocoon-like, but like two pieces of paper folded in half, without sealing the edge on one side, so that they could get out of the sleeping bag in a timely manner in an emergency.

The howling sound of the hand-cranked sirens was extremely shocking. The campground, which was originally snoring, became noisy in an instant. Although many soldiers were sleepy, they subconsciously grabbed the weapons around them and looked around them vigilantly.

"Enemy attack! Get ready for the battle!"

"Generals from all departments, be optimistic about their own soldiers and don't be in trouble!"

"All troops and horses should be careful and prepare for war according to the prior arrangements. You must not attack without obtaining the military order!"

"Shut off! Turn off the bonfire!"

Amid the shouts of shouting, the camp was busy and orderly, and the soldiers who were sleeping in armor and waiting for the sword quickly entered the battle position.

The bonfire, which was originally as bright as stars, soon disappeared into the vast land. The camp where the fire was originally shining in darkness, leaving only the carriage connected to the end. In the wilderness under the starry sky, it looked like a piece of earthen wall from a distance.

The secret whistles outside the camp were nestled in the trench and silently skewed the crossbow, then widened their eyes and looked outside to see who dared to attack at night.

The horse rope was stuck in the horse pit, and surrounded the camp three times. There was also barbed wire mesh in the key direction of the camp. If the enemy cavalry attacked rashly, it would be very injured. If the other party sent someone to clear the obstacles, the secret whistle on the periphery could cause these uninvited guests to suffer heavy casualties.

The alarm stopped, and the calm seemed to be restored in the wilderness. The soldiers in the camp were quietly waiting for the enemy to attack. They were not those weak soldiers who were not well trained, had no food or clothing, and were depressed because of long-term wages. They had full confidence to fight the enemy invaded.

Even in the endless plains, even in the dark night, the soldiers were still full of fighting spirit, because for them, each head was a military merit and a reward.

The soldiers who were happy when they heard the battle were not only the Hulin Army, but also the barbarians who had experienced several wars.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sudden movement around the camp. The sound of horse hooves was close, and there seemed to be many horses galloping, but the other party was wandering about a mile away and did not approach it rashly.

The shrill whistle made by the hand-crank alarm not only woke the sleeping soldiers, but also surprised the cavalry who were trying to attack at night. Seeing that the camp where the fire was originally flashing, the uninvited guests seemed to hesitate and then fell silent.

The night wind blew across the wilderness, and the grass swayed and made a rustling sound. I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of drums suddenly sounded in the wilderness.

The drums were continuous, not the pure sound of the war drums, but the crisp sound of rain falling on the pond. And then there was a drum sound around the wilderness outside the camp.

When pure cavalry attacks, they often use the easy-to-carry horn as a message delivery tool. The Northland cavalry will also carry small drums to replace the heavy war drums and convey various simple messages on the battlefield.

Yuwen Wen was not unfamiliar with this situation. Listening to the sound of drums in the distance, he thought of something.

When dealing with Yuchi Youqi before, many small groups of raids on both sides chased and fought in the plains. According to the news compiled by the generals, most of the elite cavalry on the other side came from the land of Youyan, and often ringed the small drums with them to connect with each other.

There were drums everywhere outside the camp, without any intention of stopping. I didn’t know whether the uninvited guests were simply communicating with each other or acting deliberately, making the stance of an attack, which made the soldiers in the camp panic and at a loss.

Yuwen Wen pondered for a moment and ordered the generals of each unit to act according to the "plan" and let the soldiers under his command take turns to rest, so as not to fall into the enemy's tired plan and the entire army would not rest for a night.

The soldiers he brought not only could force the army, but also could take turns to sleep when he was in battle. Even if there was noise outside the camp, it would not interfere with the rest of the soldiers.

It's late at night and I don't know the reality of the enemy, so I have to respond to all changes with the same change. I will wait until dawn.

Yuwen Wen lay down again, listening to the rather special drum sound, and suddenly remembered a poem, feeling that the poem was quite suitable for the moment.

The frown in the fishing sun came and the ground was filled with shock, and the song of the colorful clothes and feathered clothes was broken.

......

In the early morning, wolf smoke rose from the top of Wuping City, and the defenders were facing a great enemy. The soldiers looked at the southeast in horror. It was a section of the underwater river that was a mile away. Now a large number of cavalry are crossing the river.

Overnight, several pontoon bridges appeared on the turbulent vortex water. These cavalrymen who crossed the river from the north bank to the south bank continued to move southward, causing a lot of dust.

Although the distance is quite far and I can't see the other party's banner clearly, the scale as spectacular as a flood and the dynamics from north to south indicate that this army will not be the army of the Wuping defenders.

The number of them is no longer something that Wuping defenders can compete with, so they can only block the city gates and warn them, hoping that reinforcements will arrive in time, or hope that the target of these enemy cavalry will not be Wuping.

On the south bank of the Wo Water, a large group of war horses were eating grass in the wild, and there were many war horses drinking water by the river. They each carried their masters all night, and now they were able to rest. The master rode on the horses and continued on the way. They ate grass here and drank water to restore their physical strength.

On a mound, the dusty prime minister, Yuchi Dun, the King of Shu, sat on a stone, gnawed the dried mutton, drank freshly hot water, and seized the time to rest and continue on the road for a while.

The Huanglong soldiers surrounded the mound and looked around vigilantly. The accompanying general, like Yuchi Dun, ate jerky meat and stretched his muscles. After all, it was impossible to say that he was not tired after a night's journey.

However, fighting is not an outing. In order to win a battle, no matter how hard or tired you are, you have to grit your teeth and hold on.

The generals have been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and just rushing overnight is nothing to them. What everyone is most concerned about now is whether they have found their prey.

Several cavalry galloped from the south, after several layers of interrogation, they came to the mound, and the first general reported the military information to Yuchi Dun: "Report to the Prime Minister, the cavalry sent by Duke of the Kingdom of Qi have already bitten the main force of the enemy!"

"Is that true?"

Yuchi Dun ate the jerky meat, clapped his hands, and asked again: "How do you know it is the main force of the enemy?"

"When I returned to the Prime Minister, the enemy camp was large in size and numerous in number. It was initially estimated that no less than 10,000 people were on high alert, and they were confronted all night with a carriage as a wall."

"Where is the flag?"

"The enemy seemed to have intentionally put away the flag, and could not tell who the commander was." The general paused and added: "When the last general set off, it was getting brighter and there was no tiger-headed flag in the enemy camp."

"Where is the prisoner? Can't I ask for a few words?"

"Go back to the prime minister, all the prisoners committed suicide!"

"Okay, very good! Where is the main force of the enemy now?" Yuchi Dun stood up and asked.

"The enemy camp is located nearly twenty miles south of this place. When it is about to set off, the enemy tries to break through the encirclement and head south."

"Can those Youzhou cavalry stop the enemy?"

"Return to the Prime Minister, even if they can't stop them, they can delay time. The enemy shouldn't go much far."

After hearing this, Yuchi Dun pondered for a moment, looked at the sky in the south and smiled: "Do you think you can suddenly arrive at Changshe by walking a hundred miles a day and win by surprise?"
