At night, the north wind blew, and in the dark wilderness, the wild grass was separated. Wang Yuwen of Xiyang stood in the grass, looking at a fortress in the north. Although the fortress was just a small black dot in his sight, he could barely see the outline.

Assassin, Yuwen Wen is on the south side of the fortress, which is in the downwind. He stands in the north wind, trying to smell some smell from the wind.

When hunting, if conditions permit, the hunter will generally approach the prey from the downwind to avoid the smell on his body being smelled by the prey, causing the prey to be aware of it in advance and flee. If the two armies are fighting, generally speaking, it will be better to launch a sneak attack from the downwind.

Of course, people's sense of smell is not as good as dogs or wild animals. However, the sound of their own actions when they are on the wind can be taken farther away by the wind. If there are people with a sharp hearing in the enemy camp in the direction of the wind, they will easily be exposed.

Night attacks must be considered in all aspects, and the details must be done well to increase the success rate. The same is true for tonight's night attack. However, Yu Wen Wen was not a personal planner, so he started to examine the rationality of the night attack and whether there were any details that were not considered.

A rustling sound was heard all around. It was a group of night-attack soldiers moving forward in the dark. They had different figures, but they all had one similarity, that is, they had good eyesight at night, not night blindness patients like "Birds" and "Birds".

When marching at night, you can light a torch and maintain the marching formation by shouting loudly. However, when doing sneak attacks at night, you are seeking death. At this time, the soldiers participating in the night attack will be divided into left and right wings and quietly encircled northward according to the team's organization.

Every time the left and right wing teams go a distance, they have to stop and adjust their formation to see if anyone falls behind.

At the same time, elite soldiers must be sent to explore the way forward, pull out possible enemy troops' open and secret whistles, turn the enemy's fortress into deaf and blind, and create opportunities for your side to get as close to the target as possible.

Because they are still carrying horses, measures must be taken to avoid horses causing noise, which is the so-called "people hold a cat and horses wrap their hooves". However, horses are easily frightened by emergencies and may scream at any time. Therefore, taking horses with them during night attacks can really be called "playing with heartbeats".

Yuwen Wen took out his pocket watch, stared at it for a long time before he could barely see the time clearly. At this time, the night attack team walked about a hundred steps away, and took half an hour, and there was about a mile away from the northern fortress.

According to the standard of one mile and three hundred steps, the night attack team must launch an attack when it is 100 steps away from the target. Then the next hour will be the critical time.

Yuwen Wen walked forward slowly, and the guards surrounding him also walked forward slowly. Their duty was to protect the king's safety. Now it was pitch black all around. If someone fired a cold arrow and plotted against him, it would be hard to guard against.

Previously, during the Battle of Caozhou, the lead man who pretended to surrender wanted to assassinate Yuwen Wen, but was resolved by the highly vigilant guards. Therefore, the guards did not dare to take the king's safety lightly.

The group walked like this, and walked about seventy or eighty steps away, and the large group of Fortresses got closer and closer.

The distance is almost the same, you can...

Yuwen Wen had this idea when suddenly a harsh sound broke out in the wilderness. The sound was so harsh that it sounded in the already quiet wilderness, which scared everyone, including Yuwen Wen.

A few more sharp sounds sounded near the fortress, and then several arrow towers also sounded gongs. Not long after, the whole fortress became boiling.

The night attack team was about to launch an attack, but their whereabouts were discovered by secret whistles. At a critical moment, there was only a "brave who met on a narrow road" and the soldiers rushed to charge towards the fortress.

The secret whistle lurking in the wilderness saw a group of people rushing over, lit a torch with a fire sickle to illuminate their bodies, so as not to be trampled to death. The crowds of people who were surging in the firelight were all angry, and then they bypassed around without killing the other party.

There were crowds of people in the fortress, and the gate of the village was opened. A large number of soldiers sleeping with the Arc were shouting and rushed out. Some even put down the knotted ropes that had been prepared from the village wall and slid out of the village wall along the rope.

The soldiers who rushed out of the fortress all covered a white crotch outside the armor, which was very conspicuous in the night. The night attackers who rushed over were wearing normal armor and black military uniforms, with two teams of white and black, and rushed towards the white flags that had been inserted into the fortress.

Large-scale group confrontation competition - night attack to capture the flag, now entering a white-hot stage.

The rules of the game are divided into two sides, two sides, two sides, two sides, and four sides of the Black side. The competition location is near Zuocheng, Caozhou, and the White side sets up a fortress in four directions in the southeast, west and northwest. The four sides of the Black side gather in the center, and the black and white sides form a "cross".

The Black team located in the center of the cross is about to launch a night attack to rob the white flag planted outside the Baifang Fort Village one-on-one.

From the center position to the fortress in all directions, the distance is twenty miles, with a period of ten days. During this period, the Black team can freely choose the date of the night attack, while the White side is responsible for the defense.

At the end of the night attack, whoever holds more white flags will win.

The offensive and defense sides will rotate once. The original White side becomes the Black side, and only needs to attack at night, while the original Black side becomes the White side, responsible for setting up the fort and guarding the flag.

The competition has a good name, called "Zuocheng Qiucao". The "sponsor" is hosted by a "referee team" composed of several generals, while the "special guest" is the Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen who took the time to take a break to experience the atmosphere of the competition.

Looking at the fire-lit fortress and the crowds outside the fortress, Yuwen Wen lowered his head and looked at his pocket watch. It was three o'clock in the morning and the time when he was the most sleepy.

After yawning, Yuwen Wen put away his pocket watch and sat on the Hu bed (stool) opened by the guards. On the side, the "Referee Team" team raised a banner with white background and black patterns, and lit a torch to show his position.

There were a lot of mosquitoes in the wild. When prey appeared, they rushed over in groups. People then lit mugwort and used smoke to disperse the mosquitoes.

Even so, Yuwen Wen was bitten by mosquitoes several bags, which was still treated as a mugwort repelling mosquitoes. Those recruits who attacked at night would probably be bitten by mosquitoes very badly.

If it was in Lingnan, Yuwen Wen would not dare to let the new recruits suffer like this. After all, mosquito bites can spread malaria and other malignant infectious diseases, and a large number of them will die. However, in the Central Plains, such hidden dangers will be much smaller.

Looking at the lively scene of competing for flags ahead, Yu Wen Wen felt a little moved. Many of these "new recruits" transformed from prisoners were actually combat experience soldiers, and were absorbed into various marching units in the Southeast Road, and integrated with the original team. Now it seems that the effect is good.

The night attack tests the organization of a team. Although the team in this night attack exposed its whereabouts at a critical moment, if it chooses to start the battle directly when it is really fighting, the outcome of both sides is unknown, so the performance of the Black Team tonight is considered qualified.

As for whether you can receive a reward, it depends on the number of white flags you have seized.

Originally, after taking down Lihu and persuading him to surrender to Puyang, Yuwen Wen could make a desperate move, concentrate elite cavalry to cross the Yellow River, and launch a beheading operation on Yecheng in order to quickly end the war.

But after carefully weighing the pros and cons, he still changed his strategy.

Yuwen Wen's team moved to Lianghuai at the beginning of this year and fought for more than half a year. After each major battle, it mainly relied on absorbing prisoners to replenish troops, so the hidden dangers were actually getting bigger and bigger.

Such a team can only fight with the best of the wind on the whole.

For example, Yuwen Wen's army is like a big snowball, with the core being the imperial army and Yuwen Wen's Hulin Army. This is the absolute main force, and the outer layer is wrapped with a large group of miscellaneous soldiers. Generally speaking, it is good to fight a tailwind battle.

Once in a fierce battle, Yuwen Wen's core troops suffered heavy casualties, and the entire army would collapse. Just like Li Chuang's peasant army (Shun Army) after the Battle of One Stone in the late Ming Dynasty, once they were chased by the enemy with all their might, they would inevitably be defeated again and again, and they would be unable to turn the world back.

Therefore, such a team needs to be constantly victorious to improve cohesion. Therefore, Yuwen Wen believes that it is very unwise to put the core troops into the Yecheng assault.

Now, he has only one goal, that is, to solve his father-in-law, that is, Yuchi Shun, who led his troops to station in Zhengzhou. As long as the army in his father-in-law's hands are finished, the situation will be decided.

To this end, Yuwen Wen chose to strengthen the training of new recruits. These prisoners who had already fought can immediately form combat effectiveness as long as they merge with their own army. When the decisive battle is really coming, Yuwen Wen asked these miscellaneous soldiers to consume the opponent's strength and put the core troops on the battlefield at a critical moment, and make the final decision.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen did not plan to let his father-in-law go, and then he would inevitably face off the battlefield duel on his father-in-law and son-in-law, performing a tragedy of human relations. Of course, in order to avoid his princess and concubines crying and hanging, he could not kill his father-in-law with his own hands.

As he thought about it, Yuwen Wen suddenly looked at the southern sky, and his thoughts were active: "Best of all, after you capture you alive, place you in the ends of Hainan, provide delicious food and drink, and provide you with old age. You can send a few concubines to serve you. You can't always give birth to a son, right?"

‘At that time, I will send my mother-in-law and brother-in-law over there. The whole family will be on vacation in Hainan in a neat way. It’s summer all year round. What’s wrong with it?’

‘There is no miasma in Hainan, it’s just hotter, and there’s a bit of depression when the typhoons are blowing in summer and autumn. It doesn’t matter. My son-in-law supplies ice cubes all year round and respects the two elders!”
