The book continues from the previous chapter, and it is said that all the soldiers and horses of the Julu Army gathered in Yuyang County. Liu Guanzhang and military advisor Li Mengxi and others first used a plan to hide the sky and cross the sea. The army hesitated in Yuyang County during the day.

Quit your troops and don't take a step forward, lest you reveal your power and scare the snake.

At night, the giant deer army rushed to the foot of Yuyang City. Taking advantage of the darkness, they quietly reached the foot of Yuyang City and set up a continuous formation of vehicles around the city. The entire Yuyang fortified city was completely surrounded overnight.

At this point, the enemy has become a trapped beast, with its advantages and disadvantages clearly defined.

However, even though the enemy troops were trapped beasts, they could still injure people when they exploded. Although the city was surrounded, the enemy troops were completely retracted within the city. The enemy's front line was not damaged at all. In addition, although the Julu military chariot formation was hastily formed overnight, it was in vain.

The chariot formation is alone, with no trench or barrier in front to protect it. Although the siege is tight, the formation is not strong. If the enemy counterattacks with all his troops, there is a 20-30 chance that the chariot formation will break the siege.

In order to achieve full success, full success can only be achieved when the enemy is prevented from rushing out suddenly, but the Julu Army has a chance to be safe for three to five days, and can dig trenches and build forts to strengthen the vehicle array. When the trenches and fortifications are built, it is also

The time of victory.

The way to prevent the enemy from rushing out suddenly is to first cut off the enemy's courage. To eliminate the enemy's courage, we must frighten the enemy. The whole method of frightening the enemy lies in the control of the five senses.

The sound of the five senses is a method of deterrence. There is a chirping sound and thousands of arrows flying into the sky. The infantry steps in unison like rolling thunder and shouts to kill the sky.

The method of visual deterrence is to have fierce banners, spears and halberds like a forest, a strong formation, and bright armor. Wherever the momentum is strong, the enemy will be intimidated wherever he sees it.

All kinds of things like that.

Therefore, after the car formation encircled the city, on the first day during the day, the enemy troops in the city really had the courage to come out of the city to attack and try to break the siege. However, unexpectedly, the enemy's move was completely anticipated by the Julu Army.

When the enemy troops moved out, thousands of men and horses rushed out of the city, setting up a formation that was barely worth seeing.

When the Julu Army moved, it gathered more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the entire army. It was a boundless sea of ​​flags that gathered all the flags of the entire army to create a visual effect. It was even measured horizontally and vertically with a rope, as neat as a knife.

The formation was like a thin formation, and after receiving the order from the whole army in advance, the whole army suddenly erupted into a thundering cry of killing like a landslide and the earth was shattering. In particular, thousands of buzzers were used together, whistling like

The screams and rain of arrows as fierce as the wind rushed towards the enemy's front. In the blink of an eye, large white feathers sprouted on the ground in front of the enemy's formation. At this moment, the enemy no longer had any courage to fight.

This well-prepared deterrence strategy was as expected. For a while, the enemy's courage was taken away, and they did not dare to leave the city to fight again. The Julu Army also had a free day.

Taking advantage of this precious day, the whole army, except for the necessary troops to block the four gates, all the soldiers, civilians, wives, etc., all devoted themselves to the intense digging of trenches. In one day, the trenches were not enough to be dug.

It was too deep, just a small ditch that was one person deep and less than ten feet wide. In front of the already well-organized vehicle formation, this extra small ditch was enough to cause thousands more casualties to the enemy troops who came to break out.

Another change happened later, at night.

Surprise attacks and breakthroughs are facilitated at night. It is not yet known whether the enemies in the city, who were suppressed during the day and did not dare to move rashly, will choose to take risks at night.

The important countermeasure of the Julu Army was a fire. As early as that day, it was still bright and it was still early before dark. The logistics troops of the Julu Army were doing an important job. In one fell swoop, they mobilized 80% of the army's firewood and dispersed it to the direction of the fire.

Each department is ready for what is needed.

If you think about it from the enemy's perspective, if you want to make a surprise attack at night, it's best to do it by surprise. The best time to surprise is in the second half of the night, when it's getting dark, and it's when the camp starts cooking and the whole army relaxes.

time, this is also a good time.

If the enemy is really going to attack them as soon as night falls, then if they have the opportunity to intimidate the enemy before they make any move, they will have to light up the sky-wide flames around Yuyang City as soon as night falls.

Such a huge night fire requires a huge amount of firewood and a lot of time to prepare. Otherwise, we cannot stay one step ahead of the enemy.

——

The night was noisy, and a huge circle of flames burned unceasingly, and the light from the sky turned the night red.

Separated by the light of the fire, inside Yuyang City, whether it was the ordinary soldiers huddled at the battlements at the city head looking blankly at the firelight outside the city, or the guard Zhang Ju who repeatedly went up to the city to visit and hurriedly came down, there were tens of thousands of enemy troops in the city.

, destined to stay awake all night.

On the Julu Army side, relevant Zhang and others each led their elite troops to guard each gate to prevent the possibility of a surprise attack by the enemy.

In addition, there are a few civilians who are responsible for carrying and adding firewood to maintain the flames. The remaining large number of manpower does not have a moment of rest and is still busy all night long.

As the trenches were dug during the day, there were figures busy digging and moving earth everywhere above and below the trenches. The work was slow in the dark, but the trenches continued to widen.

In the large tent of the Julu Army, Li Mengxi, who was sitting at his desk, woke up again. He rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked up confusedly and glanced outside. It was still dark outside, so he rubbed his eyes and muttered something vaguely.

, "It's not dawn yet?"

On the side, Liu Bei, who was holding a scroll and reading, saw that Li Mengxi had woken up. He put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Li Mengxi and asked with a smile, "What? You can't sleep? But I'm disturbing you? I'll ask people to go away..." As he said,

Liu Bei was about to get up and go outside the tent to give instructions.

When Li Mengxi saw this, he hurriedly called Liu Bei. He knew the key to the fortifications and the key tonight. If he delayed the progress of the project in order to get a good sleep, he would not be a son of a man.

In the past few days, everything was busy, and Li Mengxi was very tired, but he just couldn't sleep. This was obviously due to something on his mind and too much pressure.

The sound outside the tent was indeed a bit noisy. Li Mengxi, who was trying to lie down and go to sleep, frowned again for a moment. He straightened up and glanced around the tent blankly. Then he remembered something and grabbed a piece of paper from the table.

, I tore it up randomly, crumpled it into a ball of paper, stuffed it into my ear, and it was done.

This scene completely fell into Liu Bei's eyes. (It was indeed too noisy.) Liu Bei thought in his mind. He stood up quietly and walked quietly out of the tent.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as Liu Bei left the tent and turned a corner, Li Mengxi woke up again. He was almost half asleep, with his eyes half open and half lying on his stomach.

, groping with his hand to one side, he found a piece of paper and pulled it over. He fumbled randomly around his waist and found a pen. He held the paper and drew two random strokes. Then he stopped using the pen and paper.

I threw it away randomly and continued to sleep beautifully with my arms as pillow.

Near the Chinese army's tent, soon after Liu Bei left, the noise around him became much quieter.

After a while, Liu Bei turned back and entered the tent. He saw Li Mengxi sleeping soundly, but there was a piece of white paper pressed under his elbow. One corner of the white paper was pressed under his elbow, the other corner was hanging down from the side of the desk, and a charcoal pen rolled to the ground.

.

Liu Bei came over, bent down and gently picked up the charcoal pen, carefully took out the paper from under Li Mengxi's elbow, held it to the firelight, and looked closely, he saw some messy strokes on the paper like centipedes crawling around.

Liu Bei looked hard at it and didn't understand its meaning.

There were only two words written by Li Mengxi randomly, which was "earplugs".

Earlier in the army, Li Mengxi discovered that late at night some soldiers would rather chat than sleep. This was not acceptable. The soldiers themselves felt that sleep was not important, but they did not know that if they did not get enough rest, there would be war in the future.

Due to lack of energy, a daze can kill someone.

The soldiers lacked self-control and awareness, so there should be a mandatory sleeping curfew.

Sleep is very important.

This time, Li Mengxi was woken up again and again and could not sleep well. When he was drowsy, he once again thought about the problem of sleep. His overly active mind thought that if one day, the war was urgent, he would cry to kill.

The noise continued, and the soldiers were exhausted from fighting for days. It was extremely important to get a good sleep at this time, but it seemed not easy to get a good sleep in the harsh environment.
