Xia Hong made quite careful arrangements and deployments, aiming to attract the enemy to attack. From the outside, the smell of fireworks was strong, and it seemed that he was burying pots, cooking, and resting, but in fact, he was preparing for the attack!

The enemy will definitely attack tonight!

He is quite convinced!

Night fell and it was pitch black.

"Deputy Commander, the spies reported that there is still no trace of the enemy around us."

The sheep wins the reward.

He is still a general, but he has become Xia Hong's general.

This position is similar to that of an adjutant, serving as a staff officer and responsible for communicating orders and accepting reports.

"Continue to investigate!"

"The enemy troops won't come, right?"

Li Bingkun asked suspiciously.

"It will definitely come."

Xia Hong said: "It's only Haishi now, the enemy attack should be carried out at Zishi and Choushi. This is the time when people are most sleepy."

"Then why don't we let the soldiers rest? After all, they have been preparing for war all day long and are very tired."

A general expressed his opinion.

"No."

Xia Hong opened his mouth and said: "The enemy is very cunning and often surprises us. We cannot relax. For us, there is only one chance."

"Hold on, hold on."

"yes!"

Seeing Xia Hong's calm analysis, they all felt that it made sense.

"Everyone, if you don't make contributions, you will have no chance."

The faces of all the generals turned gloomy.

They all understand what it means.

Then I went to supervise quickly, for fear that someone would slack off.

Xia Hong didn't rest either, just waiting.

Time passed little by little, and after midnight, it was midnight again. It was early in the morning, and the soldiers were all sleepy and yawning all the time.

But I was strictly urged and didn't dare to neglect it.

"Deputy Commander, the spies have reported again just now. There is still no trace of the enemy."

"There's no rush."

Xia Hong patted his face.

“If the good time doesn’t come, the ugly time will definitely come!”

Just waiting again, the time has come.

There was total darkness and silence.

Not to mention there is no human figure, not even a ghost figure...

"Commander, why aren't you here yet?"

People kept coming to ask, because the soldiers could no longer hold on.

Isn't this a disease?

Staying up most of the night, wearing armor is a waste of time.

"You haven't come yet when you are ugly?"

Xia Hong sneered and said: "This group of enemy troops are very calm, so they will come at the right time."

"It's almost dawn in Yinshi?"

"But Yin is the deadliest time for people to sleep."

Xia Hong said calmly: "The enemy is just waiting for us to relax our vigilance. This is the opposite."

"Important order, no one can relax, otherwise military law will be enforced!"

He issued strict orders again.

The soldiers complained endlessly, but had no choice but to obey.

Just keep waiting.

Seeing that the Yin hour passed, it was already the Mao hour, and it was already sunrise and dawn!

It's dawn!

"Deputy Commander Xia, what is going on?"

Li Bingkun asked: "The enemy troops haven't come yet?"

Xia Hong's face looked a little unnatural.

Apparently he got slapped in the face again.

"The enemy is really cunning, and they can still keep their composure!"

"Commander, is it time to let the soldiers rest? It's too much to bear!"

A general came to inquire.

"You think you can't resist, so the enemy must be thinking the same way."

Xia Hong gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, let us continue to persevere, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted!"

"What if the enemy knows that we are prepared and won't come? Or what if they see that our army is huge and have given up the idea of ​​attacking?"

"Won't."

Xia Hong said: "The enemy will not miss this opportunity. In fact, the fundamental reason why they adopt this strategy is to attack our returning troops."

It can be seen from this.

Xia Hong is indeed quite capable.

"But……"

"Nothing but!"

Xia Hong said coldly: "You have to hold on even if you can't hold on. Who dares to relax in military law?"

He is very calm.

War is all about taking him by surprise, and the enemy will catch him when he is slacking off.

Must not relax!

So I continued to wait like this, and several more hours passed, from dawn to morning.

As a result, the enemy was still not waiting.

"General Xia, there is still a Zhenbei Army in Bianjing that is causing damage and intrusion. It makes no sense for us to waste time here."

Li Bingkun thinks this is a waste of time.

And he felt that Xia Hong was just imagining things.

"We've been delayed for two days."

"Master Li, listen to me."

"I'm going to take a nap and let the soldiers rest. They must have been extremely sleepy for such a long time and have become exhausted. Even if we wait until the enemy comes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accomplish anything."

This is very straightforward.

Xia Hong looked very unnatural, but couldn't refute.

Because the soldiers really wasted a long time?

Are the enemy troops really not coming?

impossible!

"Deputy Commander, let the soldiers rest. We really can't bear it anymore."

"yes."

"We are already a defeated army with insufficient soldiers. If we continue to do this, I'm afraid the soldiers will complain."

The generals comforted him.

What he said is all true.

Xia Hong knew he had to consider it.
To be continued...
