Dark clouds rolled up from the horizon and piled up quickly. The strong wind gradually roared, as if it was about to scoop up the land in northern Youzhou again. Under the surging of the strong wind, dark clouds almost looked like flowing water, from the horizon to the top of the head, until the entire sky was densely spread into a dark world.
If Tang Seng saw the current situation, he would say he would shout to collect his clothes when it rained. However, in the camp outside Yuyang City, no one of the merchants had any intention of collecting the rags they had dried. Instead, he was running in panic, busy covering the forage and supplies with rainproof cloth, and then tied them tightly with hemp rope.
People can get wet in the rain, but the supplies are not.
Are there any untouchables? They are naturally more expensive.
In the camp outside Yuyang City, there were busy figures everywhere, and the wooden fences of the camp were strengthening and digging the drainage ditches deeper.
Like other military academy non-commissioned officers, Cao Shang was running around, roaring loudly, urging the civilians and their subordinates to check if there were any omissions or negligence, and his throat almost became hoarse.
The weather is now, I don’t know if it is snowing, raining, or both, but no matter which one it is, it means a severe test. There is a lack of shelter and warm labor among the people. After such a rain and snow, a large number of people will inevitably get sick.
Once you get sick, other infections and transmission will not be mentioned. Just for these civil servants alone, it is almost a disaster. Under the impact of hunger and disease, most civil servants who are infected with typhoid fever will die.
Cao Shang understood this and ran around, busy from the afternoon until the night. He saw that most of the places were covered with rainproof oil cloth. After checking the drainage ditches, he returned to his tent with a soreness all over his body.
Inside the tent, Cao Shang sat in the shadows, looking at the bright and beautiful armor placed in the corner.
This is Xiahou Shang's spare armor.
Ordinary soldiers are hard to match even a set of decent armor. Many people are still wearing the Liangdang armor from the early Han Dynasty. There are even many iron gaps on the armor that are not enough to be repaired. However, Xiahou Shang has such a set, which is wrong. At least two exquisite and gorgeous armors with various gold and silver decorations.
If it were before, Cao Shang would be excited to have such a set of armor, even if he had it for a short time.
But now...
Cao Shang looked at the gorgeous armor, but he had no interest in touching or even putting on it. He lay down on the bed beside him, although his body was tired, he did not feel much sleepy.
Xiahou Shangcai was not so kind-hearted and wanted to give Cao Shang a set of armor. Xiahou Shang just wanted Cao Shang to act as his substitute at certain moments.
As for why you need a substitute, you still need to think too much about it. It's just a bait...
There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and then several guards of Xiahou Shang lifted the curtains of the tent and walked in, "The time for patrol patrol... Well? Why are you not wearing armor?"
Cao Shang sat up from the bed and was silent for a while, "How dare you be so arrogant to the general's armor? When you haven't used it, you should offer it to him."
Xiahou Shang's guard's face looked a little better. While approaching him to help Cao Shang wear armor, he said, "I know you are loyal, the general will be happy."
When Cao Shang changed into Xiahou Shang's armor and walked out of the tent again, and then began patrolling inside and outside the camp with several Xiahou Shang's guards, Cao Shang suddenly discovered a phenomenon...
His faces and Xiahou Shang are different. It can even be said that except for both eyes, one nose and one mouth, there are basically no similarities. However, during his walking patrol, no one had any doubts. When he saw this armor from afar, he bent down and bowed his head quickly, not to mention that those ordinary civilians and laborers basically fell to the ground with their butts sticking out, as if they were guilty of taking a look.
Should I worship this set of armor or someone else?
If you worship armor, then do you still need someone to go to war? The two sides put out armor directly. Who is good-looking and who is strong, and who is even better will win?
If you can't decide the outcome with armor, why not pay attention to who is wearing it?
Cao Shang was full of questions, but he could not get any answers.
The night gradually faded down.
After the patrol patrol, Cao Shang could not return to his own tent, but entered the central army tent left for Xiahou Shang and sat silently.
From the start of the camp, he was "Xiahou Shang". He had to be here for everyone to see.
Even if Cao Shang doesn't like it, he must do so.
Well, I believe no bait will like to be hung on the hook.
Whether it is the military camp of the civilians or the outer walls of Yuyang that are several miles behind them, they all look dark in the night.
In the camp of civil servants, torches were roaring.
Cao Shang stared at the shadow under his feet, and there seemed to be some shadows in his eyes beating.
When he had no authority, he longed for authority, but when he really grasped it, Cao Shang realized that this authority was dirty, dirty, filled with mucus and blood, like a bone that had just been pulled out of a corpse, and it smelled bad and once it was contaminated, it would linger.
He was wearing exquisite and gorgeous armor, but Cao Shang felt that there seemed to be maggots squirming on the armor, as if he was gnawing at his heart.
Is this the leader of the Cao family and Xiahou family?
Is this a big man?
Is this the great man Cao Shang himself is thinking about, be loyal to him, and strive for him for his life...
For some reason, Cao Shang felt very tired.
Perhaps, such a big man should be finished.
The demise of a dynasty is always a bit sad and tragic.
Whether it is the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Former Qin Dynasty, or the Han Dynasty.
Cao Shang didn't understand it very well before, but now he knew it. All the people in the Han Dynasty who hold power were like this. How could this country be healthy and not corrupt?
Big people should be above all.
Isn't it?
If a big man stands too low, it will not only make people see the golden ring on his hand and the jade ring on his waist, but also make people see the little heart wrapped under his fat belly and the piece of shit wrapped under his heart and stomach.
Cao Shang felt like that piece of shit.
He was pulled out and threw it here, exuding a smell, waiting for the evil dog to rob, and covered with a layer of glossy shell, and he himself had to maintain the dignity of a piece of shit. Put on Xiahou Shang's armor, indicating that Xiahou Shang is brave and dares to come to the front line and fight bravely to fight the enemy...
That maid raises it.
Cao Shang closed his eyes slightly, and a few vague words spit out of the corner of his mouth.
He didn't understand the necessity of doing this, just as he couldn't understand Xiahou Shang's thinking pattern. But he had no choice, because Xiahou Shang was in charge of the power, and Xiahou Shang was giving orders, not Cao Shang himself.
It was quiet within the camp.
A piece of shit, well, Cao Shang is in the center.
Cao Shang leaned his sword on the ground, sat silently, waiting until in the dark, some messy sounds began to sound.
『Here you come!』
…(〒︿〒)…
"Seventh Master... Why do I think we are coming too smoothly, right?"
Zu Qilang looked up at the camp of civilians in the distance, which was like a giant beast lying on the ground, and hesitated for a moment, "The Hu people came in and General Cao went north, and there were only some civilians and servants left here, so it was normal for them to be neglected to guard against him..."
"No, I mean, Master Qi, we had sex once last time. Could it be that these people... just don't have enough memory?"
"Well..." Zu Qilang pondered, and after a while he shook his head and said, "This is the order of the head of the family."
『…』The young man next to Zu Qiro fell silent.
"Ergouzi, don't think so much. We will still break through the camp as before, and then drive the civilians to work hard. Take away what they can, and burn what they can't take..." Zu Qilang said, "You go back and go around and pass on my order..."
As the saying goes, "The Greatest Side" is hidden in the dynasty. Although Zu Wu and others may not know this, local snakes who have had rich experience in fighting in the local countryside for many years can simply make the most suitable disguise like a chameleon, hiding these people under the noses of Cao Chun and others.
If you cover the cloth above you, you will be a horse thief, and if you put down the knife, you will be a postman.
After a while, Ergouzi came back and reported to him that everyone was ready.
Zu Qilang nodded and glanced at Ergouzi, "By the way, I have always called you Ergouzi, what is your name?"
"I don't have a daimyo." Ergouzi said, "My father died shortly after I was born and didn't have time to change my daimyo..."
Zu Qiro nodded, then patted Ergouzi on the shoulder, "Okay... After this battle, I will ask the head of the family to give you a real name, Daming!"
"Okay." Ergouzi said.
Zu Qiro took a deep breath, then tied his belt tightly, turned over and horses, "Everything is ready! Let's attack!"
In fact, Zu Qilang and his team are not very large, so they must attack in the dark, use the darkness to cover their shortcomings of the small number, and then put more psychological pressure on the other party.
In the era of cold weapons, most battles are not the kind of death-fighting battles that can be exchanged for one life, but more of it is to fight one side lose its fighting spirit and win if the front collapses. And the kind of battle between the two sides, hedging and fighting to the death, are generally the main forces of large-scale battles, and they are often the ultimate killing means for both sides to prepare for the final decision.
Because this kind of body is crowded with millions of people in a small space, unable to move around, dodge and retreat, and can only conduct the most cruel close combat between one life and one life. If it weren't for the selected warriors, or if they had undergone rigorous training, it would be absolutely impossible to complete.
This is why people in Shandong are afraid of Hussar soldiers, because in the eyes of people in Shandong, the people in Hussar are like madmen, and even small groups of troops can play the momentum of battle...
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.
In comparison, Zu Qilang naturally had a certain advantage when he was in labor for the civilians.
As the wood chips flew everywhere, the fence of the camp was pulled to the ground. Zu Qilang took the lead and rushed into the camp.
Everything seems to be no different from the previous ones...
The most important thing to raid a camp is to fight slowly and disrupt. As for how many people you kill, it is really not important.
Although Zu Qiro was not a first-class general, he also knew that the most important thing was to seize the time and completely disrupt the civilian camp, and then he could win.
Zu Qiro waved his sword and cut down a tent. The civil servants in the tent rolled into a circle under the curtain, and then couldn't struggle and let out a dull and panic scream.
The "horse thief" following Zu Qiro also roared in. Some were chopping down to the place under the tent, while others were raising torches and threw them around, and the fire gradually became contaminated.
The sounds of exclamations and shouts in the camp were mixed together.
The labor service of the civilians and husbands in each tent were rushing outwards, but they bumped around like headless flies.
In the center of the camp, Cao Shang stood under Xiahou Shang's flag.
The bright and beautiful armor looks even more shining under the flames.
『Line! Fight!』
Cao Shang raised his sword and shouted.
…(╬￣Dish￣)=○…
When the camp outside the city ushered in an impact, Xiahou Shang was still sleeping.
It’s a big deal, you can’t stop sleeping.
Eating and sleeping are like people have three urgent needs and they cannot be avoided, right?
It is often said that people have three urgent needs, but in fact, many people don’t know which three urgent needs are. Some people say that it should be “internal urgent needs”, “impatient”, and “impatient”, but some people say that it is “impatient urgent needs” because they can’t hold it in, “stumbling”, because they can’t speak, and “impatient for giving birth” because they can’t get back.
But in fact...
The big guy’s urgent is the real urgent.
Are you a small person? No matter if you are in a hurry to go to the toilet, stuttering, or rushing to have a child, you are not in a hurry when you are in conflict with the official hat of a big person. No matter how anxious you are, you cannot be in a hurry, and no matter how anxious you are, it is useless.
Just like when Xiahou Shang needs to rest, he needs to rest, and it is useless to be anxious.
For Xiahou Shang, whether it is camping in the wild or in Yuyang City, it is not a very comfortable thing. Not only does the quilts cold and the tents cold and the quilts are cold and the quilts are cold and the quilts are cold and the quilts are often inexplicably disturbed and asked about military affairs, which makes people restless.
You know, when Xiahou Shang was in Yanzhou, he had a day and night feast and singing and dancing, and he only had a rest as dawn approached. Where did he experience such pain in the army?
Don’t these bastards understand that no matter how hard they are, they cannot be hard on their bosses, and no matter how tired they are, they cannot be tired on their generals?
So when Xiahou Shang was awakened, he was furious and cursed.
Cao Chun’s original meaning was to let Xiahou Shang be bait.
After all, Xiahou Shang’s piece of meat looks fat and will definitely attract a lot of people.
But Xiahou Shang agreed, and when he looked back, he felt that it was inappropriate.
With such a noble body, how can you be used as a bait?
If this is the case, even if the prey is caught, but the bait is eaten by the prey, then what's the use of killing the prey? Could it be taken out of the prey's belly and recovered?
Is there a policy above, but a countermeasure below...
There are still needs to be beaten, and the trap must be set, but no matter what, his life is the most important, so Xiahou Shang arranged Cao Shang as his substitute, and when he went outside the city as bait, he still settled his pillow in the city.
When there was some movement outside the city at night, because there was some distance between them, and the city walls and houses blocked, the sound of the sound inside the house was not very loud. Xiahou Shang had just fallen asleep, and it was the time when he was sleeping the most, but he was really angry. Not only did he get up on the spot, but he also didn't like anyone, and he even wanted to kill a few people to relieve his anger!
After a while, Xiahou Shang recovered from his anger. He remembered that he was still responsible for his own duties. Then he also felt a little happy about the trap of the prey. Then he gave an order and asked the servant to take out the armor and serve him to wear it.
But Xiahou Shang forgot something because he got up. Even if the slaves and followers around him noticed something was wrong, they naturally did not dare to get into trouble when facing Xiahou Shang's anger and remind him...
Wear exquisite and gorgeous armor.
Bright light armor, shiny,
Wear on the delicate head.
Left Yuhuan, Right Salon,
Big belly poop golden ribbon.
After being dressed neatly, Xiahou Shang patted his belly with satisfaction, feeling that his heroic and brave figure was indeed handsome, so he uttered aloud: "Come on, go to the city and watch the battle!"
Xiahou Shang forgot that he should have changed into ordinary armor.
He did not notice that the noble temperament he was used to in the dress and clothes he showed was naturally like that. As soon as he appeared on the city wall, he was easily discovered by other people...
In the dark corner of the city, someone stared at the shining figure on the city wall, "It's broken!"
"Xiahou has not left the city!"
"Outside the city is a trap!"
Immediately, this can be almost instantly judged.
『What should I do? Send a signal to retreat outside the city?』
"It's too late... Even if we risk sending a signal, people outside the city may not be able to notice it immediately..."
"What should we do? Could it be that we are here watching them fall into a trap?"
In the darkness, the eyes reflected by light and fire seemed to ignite something.
"Why not... I can't stay anyway after making this vote..."
『What?』 Another voice sounded in the darkness, 『Are you crazy?"
"Crazy? Do you think there is a trap? Why is there a trap here? I bet that when I see the fire here, the Cao army who went away must be rushing here! After dawn, the four fields will surround us, even if we want to run away, there will be no way out! So, it's better to make a move and escape in the chaos, otherwise...
