Chapter 8 Kongming Lantern

Volume 5 War and Peace Chapter 8 Kongming Lantern

Stiyang said, "As soon as the fifth brother came, he was in the limelight. Only then did I meet the people of Hegis with the second brother on the mountain. It was the fifth brother who took action that we were able to annihirate the enemy."

"Oh?" Shi Chi looked at me with some surprise and asked Stiang, "The Sword God is in the army. Do the soldiers know?"

Stiang smiled and said, "I'm afraid it has spread to the whole army now."

Shi Chi nodded and patted me on the shoulder: "I'll make the decision for your grandfather, and you can stay in my vanguard camp. As soon as the army arrives, the first success of the first battle will be up to you."

I had to say, "That's good. Anyway, I can't go back today." After a flight just now, I feel that my swordsmanship has also consumed a lot, and I definitely can't fly.

At present, someone was arranged to live in the military tent. Stitch came in with me for a few chats and then left. I couldn't help asking him, "Big brother, why is the second brother against me everywhere? Am I sorry for him before? This really makes me suspicious. If Stiwey used to look down on Stitcher because of his waste wood, then now I'm a sword god, but he is still cold-browed, which makes me unable to figure it out.

Stiang said awkwardly, "Well... Your second brother has a short temper, which may be a little different from your gentle personality. It is said that he is not bad-minded."

I was depressed and said, "Am I gentle?"

Stitch smiled and said, "I didn't find out that you seem to be very different from before."

Speaking of this, I was afraid of revealing a flaw, so I had to turn over and send Stiyang out.

Lying in the march**, listening to the exchange of more drums outside, the soldiers came and went to summon the password. I had mixed feelings in my heart as if I were in a dream. Not long ago, I was running my own inn in the 21st century. I was bored every day, but now I am in the midst of thousands of troops, I don't know if the father of that world is a little worried about my disappearance. I think of Lao Wu, Jin Chengwu and Xiao Qian, let alone where they are now and how they are doing.

In a daze, I seemed to be asleep. At this moment, I was suddenly awakened by a burst of horns. The horn stopped for a moment, and then it sounded again. The footsteps outside the tent were mixed. When the soldiers heard the sound, they all got up and gathered automatically. I rubbed my eyes and came to the tent. I pulled

I didn't wear armor, and the soldier didn't know me. He hurriedly said, "Are you new here? The horn is three or two long. That's an enemy attack!"

I was shocked and hurriedly followed him. When he saw that I was neither armed nor wearing armor, he collapsed and said, "Which battalion of recruit are you?"

At this time, Stitch said loudly at the door of my tent, "Fifth brother, where are you, fifth brother?"

I waved my hand and said, "I'm here!"

Stiang pushed aside the crowd and came to me and said eagerly, "Come with me, the enemy is coming!" His own soldiers gave me a horse. I got on the horse and followed him. The soldier who was talking to me just now was so scared that he stuck out his tongue: "It turned out to be a major general." Then he said to him, "The fifth young master of the historian, isn't that the sword god?"

I followed Stitch up to the outside of the Chinese military tent. 500 soldiers with a torch and the open space outside the military tent was as bright as day. The generals and captains of all the battalions had arrived. Shi Chi stood solemnly in military uniform, and the front of the horse was full of the horse to report. Stitch Father, how is the enemy?

At this time, there happened to be a Malay newspaper, saying that the Haggis army was slowly advancing here 10 miles away. The number was unknown, but at least more than 50,000.

Stitch said, "More than 50,000? Do they want to launch a general attack?

Shi Chi said, "I'm also puzzled. According to it, the Haggis army is not good at attacking in the low ground. Even if we want to attack, we should wait until the reinforcements gather superior forces."

I asked, "Is the terrain so important?"

Stiyang said, "Important! The large-scale impact on the plain is in the lowlands. Unless there are more troops than the other party, it is a taboo for soldiers.

Shi Chi waved his horse whip and said, "I will go to the front and have a look."

Shi Chi led a group of generals Pegasus to the front of the army to stand quietly. 300,000 troops gathered and arrayed in an orderly manner. There were 5,000 archers on both sides of the battle, 100,000 cavalry in the array, and then the infantry array. At this moment, we are standing at the height of a vast Gobi, looking down at But it is enough for the cavalry to accumulate strength.

I put my hand on the pergola and looked into the distance, and then I laughed hoarsely - at this time, it was midnight, and it was useless to put on the pergola by hand. The torch behind us almost lit the sky, and the hot oil star made a crackling sound. The biggest noise of the army of 300,000 people was The sound of burning, I looked at both sides of the line, and the firelight extended to the end of the line of sight, like a huge fire-winged bird soaring its wings.

The frequency of the Malay report is getting higher and higher, and the Haggis army is slowly approaching, 10 miles, 8 miles, 5 miles... As the distance gets closer and closer, the other party's marching speed is getting slower and slower. When they are still 3 miles away, the horse searcher has not returned for a long time, and the enemy

Scullywell sat on the horse and said restlessly, "Father, the other party is not a suspicious trick, is it? Why is it getting slower and slower?"

Shi Chi said unhappily, "Where are the military books you usually read?" Diyan, you tell him why.

Stitch said: "There are two kinds of raids by the army. One is to make a surprise rapid impact, the most attention to speed, and the other is to suppress the opponent with superior forces, in order to let the other party know the difficulties and withdraw from the area we want. Our two armies are far away from each other, and the number is large. It Chen Zhiyuan knew that we had been prepared for a long time, so he didn't ask for speed. The army was about to charge. He had to build up his manpower and horsepower, and he would have the spirit to fight in a while.

Stiwell blushed and said, "It's really said in the book, but I forgot it."

Shi Chi said, "It's not that you forgot that military books and actual combat are two different things. No matter how much you read military books, the first time you go to the battlefield, your head will be left behind. This is also human habit. In the future, you will see the world more often, and there are also you who are learning." Speaking of later, I was probably afraid that Stiway would have an inferiority complex, so I comforted him with a few words. Seeing me twisting back and forth on the horse, he scolded, "Di Zai, listen to me, you will all have a useful place in the future."

I smiled and said, "I don't lead soldiers to fight. I'm only responsible for my decoration." On the surface, I was playful and smiling, but in fact, I had begun to be anxious. There was no reason for me to wriggle back and forth - after a day of flight, I found that the sword spirit could not gather at this moment, but I didn't dare to tell anyone that I didn't know how to fight. I knew that many people were It is equivalent to shaking the heart of the army. Before the battle of the two armies, the heart of the army is more important than anything else!

At this time, the horse probe reported again that the enemy was less than two miles away. Shi Chi waved his hand and said, "The whole army is ready!" The messenger behind him galloped the horse and loudly reminded the soldiers that the archer took off the quiver and stood at his feet to adjust the bow string.

I looked down hard and saw that there seemed to be a large area of black fog surging in the opposite shadow. At the same time, I felt that the land was trembling slightly. That was the resonance generated by the team's horse when moving. Although it did not run fast, the momentum was as amazing. The more I looked at it, the more I felt that something was wrong. I couldn't help scratching my head. The shadow got closer and closer. Many soldiers' armors flashed in the moonlight. From me, it was like looking at the sea in the middle of the night. The waves were sparkling, and the heads shrugged like waves. Two miles, that It was a face-to-face meeting - I suddenly knew what was wrong: the lanterns and tortoons on our side lit up like daylight, but there were also tens of thousands of people moving on the opposite side, and there was no light of a lamp or a torch! If this is to avoid his whereabouts, it is simply nonsense. We have been waiting on the high ground. Chen Zhiyuan should also know that their deeds have been exposed for a long time. Is it ridiculous that he wants to cover up like this again?

I couldn't help asking Shi Chi, "Why don't they light the lights?"

Shi Chi smiled and said, "Did you just find out?"

I touched my head and said, "I've always felt something was wrong."

Schitch said, "Have you ever heard that the people of Haggis like darkness?"

I was moved and remembered what she said to me when Su Jing and I first met. The Haggis loved darkness. They put a bead on Mount Heosguna, the highest between the two continents in order to let the bead block the sun. They took advantage of the city under the cover of darkness. Sword God, that is, my previous life, was for this reason to split Mount Osguna, so my veins collapsed and died.

I said, "I like it, but can they see the way clearly without lighting the light?"

Schitch said, "Very of them have the ability to see things in the dark. I haven't heard of Haggis getting lost at night."

"What's the reason for this?"

Shi Chi shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's probably related to the geographical location, and maybe the people of Haggis have been taking some medicine since childhood."

I said, "Then isn't it a disadvantage for us to fight?"

Schi said, "At the beginning of the war with Haggis, most of the attacks they launched were at night. Fortunately, we had accumulated so many years of experience and were already prepared--" Schi shouted, "Put the lights off!" With his order, many soldiers took out the strange things woven by bamboo baskets one by one from their bags, and then supported them with both hands into a cylinder, and then lit the short-saw candle at the bottom of the cylinder. The inside of the cylinder was heated to produce hydrogen, and slowly rose up half the air one by one. There were 1,000 people in the Hong Lie army Responsible for this matter, I put thousands of paper lamps in the air in a short time, and I saw the stars within a radius of more than ten miles, and the time was everywhere...

I was surprised and funny, and I couldn't help saying, "Kongming Lantern?"

Kongming lanterns have been made, which I didn't expect...RO
