Zhang Fei suddenly made a big move, and the officers and soldiers guarding the camp were startled and became nervous.

However, the Zhuozhou Army cavalry still kept running around the stronghold and did not get close.

In addition, Huangfu Song was afraid that the arrows would be lost too much, so he ordered that he only fire back when the Zhuozhou cavalry was approaching. If they were not close, no arrows would be missed.

So, the two of them got along well.

Zhang Fei's troops were never attacked by an arrow again.

The veteran general Huangfu Song stood on the arrow tower and had not been down for a long time.

Hearing the shouts of Zhuozhou's men and horses, Huangfu Song knew that it was indeed a plan to surrender his troops.

The Zhuozhou army must have made up their mind to disturb the troops all night so that the officers and soldiers could not rest peacefully all night.

Huangfu Song was very angry, but unfortunately, he wanted to attack at night, but the Zhuozhou army got one step ahead. He didn't know how many crossbowmen the Zhuozhou army had ambushed in the dark, and they couldn't drive out the Zhuozhou cavalry out of the stronghold. The opportunity was lost.

In another place, someone also had the same judgment as Huangfu Song.

Cao Cao saw that the Zhuozhou army's cavalry was noisy again, and he knew that the Zhuozhou army wanted to harass the officers and soldiers all night with only a hundred or so cavalry, in order to achieve a strategy of subduing the army.

"Well, the art of war is like chess. It's better to lose a piece than to lose an advance." Cao Cao sighed quietly.

The reason why Zhang Fei gave up his rest and suddenly moved again was because he deliberately wanted to use the sound of shouts and the sound of horse hooves as a cover for Guan Yu.

The noisy voices of people and the sound of horse hooves attracted the ears and eyes of the officers and soldiers. Afterwards, the Zhuozhou Army troops who gathered quietly were much safer and less likely to be exposed.

Soon, Guan Yu returned to the camp.

More than 1,500 troops have been arranged again.

Guan Yu did not stay too long and led the people away again.

To mobilize 1,500 manpower in one wave, it would take thirty waves to mobilize 40,000 manpower. Due to the large number of people, each wave would take more time to travel and arrange after arrival.

Roughly, in a quarter and a half, 1,500 troops can be deployed.

The total time required is thirty quarters and a half, roughly seven hours.

There is barely enough time.

However, Li Mengxi felt that the encirclement of the entire army camp was a bit large. A mere 40,000 people did not seem to be enough to form a very large encirclement.

If forty thousand is not enough, what about eighty thousand manpower? Li Meng frowned.

At this time, Li Mengxi was unsure and had insufficient information. He didn't know how big the official camp was, and how big the huge encirclement with the official camp as the center would be. He couldn't calculate it.

If 80,000 manpower is needed, there are not enough manpower on standby now.

The total number of rebel soldiers plus new barracks is just over 40,000. This is all the manpower of the rebel army with certain disciplines and organization. The rest are all civilians.

If many civilians are involved in night operations, the reliability will be worrying.

Thinking of this, Li Mengxi ordered again to set up a bonfire in the camp and call all the civilians.

After the order was issued, Li Mengxi hurried to the camp of the Yellow Turban Army at the rear. At night, Zhang Jiao was hurriedly disturbed, and torches were raised in the central army tent to talk at night.

Li Mengxi looked at Zhang Jiao and asked, "How many troops do you have in your hands that can obey orders? Our army wants to surround the army camp at night, and it needs to be done secretly. The men and horses are ranked high. If your troops cannot obey the orders, they will be defeated.

worries."

Li Mengxi did not ask whether the Yellow Turbans were powerful, but only asked whether the Yellow Turbans could act in accordance with orders. This question was extremely difficult to answer.

Zhang Jiao hesitated for a moment and did not dare to answer easily.

Zhang Jiao frowned, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at Li Mengxi, "... Why don't you hand over the manpower to the young master, and the young master will make arrangements?"

Zhang Jiao's question was passed back to Li Mengxi.

Li Mengxi thought for a moment and concluded that using well-disciplined soldiers mixed with some civilians and the like was like adding sand, but it could barely increase the number of usable soldiers. Without him, he used recruit instructors and a team of thirty recruits to control the situation.

Just common people.

Feeling that there was a certain possibility, Li Mengxi ordered Zhang Jiao to gather all the men in the army who had weapons and go to use them.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Jiao still had to spend time mobilizing manpower, so Li Mengxi left and returned to the camp.

When we returned to the camp, the civilians in the rebel camp were already being disturbed.

At this time, almost all of the 150,000 rebels mobilized overnight.

When Li Mengxi came back, Guan Yugang led another group of people away.

Liu Bei was organizing a new batch of manpower, and Li Mengxi suggested that this time, civilian husbands and recruits should be mixed in between, with two recruits and a civilian husband in the middle.

That is, a team of thirty new soldiers, mixed with thirty undisciplined civilians.

Liu Bei wondered whether it was safe to use civilian men during important events.

Li Mengxi said that he was afraid that there were not enough manpower to form an encirclement.

If there are not enough new soldiers and the civilians are called in, the civilians will form a camp and there will be chaos.

If half were recruits and half were civilians, discipline would be somewhat enforced.

Liu Bei nodded, turned his head, and ordered the civilian soldiers to come over one after another.

Starting to organize the team again, it became more complicated. The recruits had to be spread out and civilian servants were placed one by one among the recruits.

At the same time, the military judges and other officers were even busier. They had to watch the civilian workers take off their shoes one by one, and when they handed out wooden sticks, they had to watch the civilian workers bite the wooden sticks in their mouths.

The discipline of civilian husbands is far inferior to that of recruits who have undergone long-term queue training.

In the queue, a smart civilian husband took advantage of the military judge to go away and took off the wooden stick with the extremely bitter bark in his mouth. He touched the person in front of him and asked in a low voice, "Hey, brother, what are we doing here?"

What did you go for?"

In front, the recruit who was chewing a wooden stick turned back, said nothing, and looked at the civilian husband like an idiot.

The civilian husband was impatient and touched the new recruits again, "I'm asking you, you should tell me!"

"Who the hell told you to talk!" the military judge shouted loudly, came over angrily, grabbed the collar of the civilian husband who had just spoken, dragged him out, and whipped him hard with the whip in his hand without any explanation.

It ended after a while.

The civilian husband was aggrieved and angry, his neck was crooked and his face was red, "I didn't say..."

The military judge glared at the civilian husband fiercely and said, "Put the stick in your mouth and bite it."

The civilian husband was still stubborn, so the military judge swung his whip and whipped it with a snap, "I want you to bite the stick!"

The military judge glared at the civilian husband angrily and was ready to draw his sword. Due to the situation, the civilian husband could only bite the bitter tree stick in his mouth.

After putting the civilian workers back into the queue, the military judge glanced around and said in a loud voice, "I'm telling you! When we leave the camp soon, everyone hold on to the ropes and don't fall behind. When we get to the ground, I bite the stick tightly. Who can

If you say one thing, don’t blame me for not being able to explain yourself when you die.”

On the other side, there are military judges who are also reprimanding people.

Seeing a civilian husband not taking off his shoes, the military judge scolded him and asked him to take off his shoes.

"The ground is cold..." the man said weakly.

"Damn it! Take it off!" the military judge was furious.

The farmer had to take off his straw sandals and carry them in his hands.

Because the personnel were complicated this time, the transfer arrangements were extremely troublesome. When Guan Yu came back, the team had not yet been arranged.

After waiting for a while, the team was arranged.

Because half of the civilians were mixed into each team, the number of recruits in each team doubled. Therefore, the number of people in one wave reached a terrifying more than 3,000 people.

At this time, it is no longer feasible to use ropes to connect three thousand people from beginning to end.

Because the queue is too long, if they are connected into one, the people in front will walk slowly, and the people behind will have to fly up to keep up.

Therefore, Li Mengxi sent several soldiers to help lead the team.

If you divide the long team into several sections, you don't have to worry too much about the marching speed.

As the night got darker, Zhang Fei ordered his cavalry to disperse into small groups around the official camp, so that the people around the official camp were startled by the sound of horse hooves in any direction.
