In the era of cold weapons, due to the existence of soldiers' night blindness, night battles in the true sense rarely occur in the wild.

Judging from historical records, most so-called night battles are actually one side lit up a torch to attack the city, while the other side also burned a fire on the top of the city to resist the opponent's attack. Otherwise, it would be like the generals in the Three Kingdoms challenged alone, with soldiers on both sides shaking flags and shouting, and the generals were shirtless in front of the formation, winning with their personal courage.

This kind of war that is like a joke sounds very satisfying. For example, a certain general of a certain side fought with an opponent's general at night for more than 300 rounds, and then he did not decide the winner and lost. He continued to fight again the next day, and fought for more than 300 rounds. Finally, he finally declared the end when the storyteller was exhausted.

The real night battle is not exciting at all.

There is no single fight between generals, and some are the soldiers on both sides slashing each other in the dark. No matter whether the enemies or friends are approaching each other, they can only stab out with one instinctive sword, or the enemy falls or falls by themselves. It is so simple and direct.

When the setting sun shone on this battlefield, Xiahou Ying finally ordered to temporarily gather his troops and prepare to bury the pot and make rice. Although facing the cold corpses of his companions, some young soldiers could hardly eat anything, the old soldiers beside them did not care and lit the stove indifferently, tear open the dry food soaked in blood in their arms one by one, and put it into their cracked mouth.

People must always be alive.

Even if you live one more day, it's good.

As for whether to continue fighting after dinner or wait until tomorrow to fight again, all this cannot be decided by an ordinary soldier.

Xiahou Ying stood under a broken red flag of Han army, with dozens of corpses of Han generals and corpses lying on him. One of them was his most trusted personal soldier.

"ah!"

Xiahou Ying opened his throat and wanted to shout loudly to vent his resentment, but found that he could hardly make any noise. The fierce battle of a day had already made his throat completely hoarse and silent.

The continuous fighting left the ground in front of the two armies with blood, and the bodies of Han soldiers lying on the ground in a row.

Offense and defense.

In the face of the tight defense line of the Qin army, the Han army that attacked one side paid a heavy price. Tens of thousands of Han soldiers took turns to attack Zhang Ping's defending defensive positions. The price paid was that 4,000 soldiers were killed and injured, and more than ten middle and low-level Han generals and college members died in the battle.

Such casualties are already the price of injury to an army that has just been established. Generals and generals at the first level of the school lieutenant, military marquis, and generals are particularly valuable for an army. Once too much loss, the vitality of this army will be lost.

"Guanhou. Call Guanhou over here." Xiahou Ying opened his mouth and said to the soldiers who reported to the news by his side several times before he could let the other party understand what he meant.

Wolonggang.

No longer regained its original green appearance.

The surface of the swamp, which was originally clear, was turbid due to the rolling and fighting of the soldiers on both sides. The soldiers whose eyes lost their luster slowly fell down. The blood flowing out of their bodies merged with the mud, gradually solidifying into a mass of blood stains that made people look sideways.

Guan Ying walked quickly, and there was a wave of red tide in her eyes.

More than once, he saw the once familiar figure, sleeping in the mud without feeling, and half of his body was lying on his back, not seeing any vitality.

"Guanhou, night fight, night fight!" Xiahou Ying saw Guanying, without saying much, he hissed and explained his meaning.

night.

For the generals and soldiers of the Qin and Han armies who had fought fiercely for a day, it was a kind of hope for liberation. At this moment, the Han army, which had the advantage in military strength and the Qin army, who fought to the death, achieved psychological consistency.

The Han army wants to rest.

The Qin army, which had been fighting for a day, had to rest. Moreover, the Qin army, which had lost one-quarter of its troops, was more tired than the Han army in terms of physical fatigue.

Xiahou Ying’s meaning is very clear.

All the fights during the day today are to cover Guan Ying's attack at night. The purpose is to consume the Qin army's vitality to the greatest extent, thereby reducing resistance to Guan Ying's night attack in the twilight.

"Marquis Ruyin, please rest assured. Even if the last general fights to the last soldier, he will take back the head of the Li thief." Guan Ying's voice was determined.

For a whole day, Guan Ying was resting helplessly, watching the brothers killing the sky and the earth, but he could only hide aside and watch the show. This was really uncomfortable.

The wavering and confusion that had been the past became insignificant in the face of Xiahou Ying's persistence. Guan Ying even began to feel ashamed. Why was he afraid of death? Why didn't he dare to sacrifice his life to fight the Qin army last time? Even if he died, what if he died? This life was already sold to the King of Han.

——.

The war will take a break.

In the Qin army camp, the central army tent was brightly lit.

Li Yuanzheng summoned the generals to discuss the next step of the war arrangement. The Han army vanguard was blocked in Wolonggang for one day. The stay on this day would further shorten the distance between Liu Bang's army and Xiahou Ying's army.

With the arrival of the main force of the Han army, the pressure faced by the Qin army's blocking troops will further increase. Li Yuan had already written a letter and ordered the scout to quickly report the changes in military situations at Han Xin in Wancheng, and asked to rebel Chen Xi to move faster and to relax the negotiation conditions.

As long as Chen Xi is willing to surrender, other conditions can be discussed.

In the military tent, the generals stood up, and Zhang Ping was reporting the specific casualties to Li Yuan. Six thousand Qin infantrymen lost 2,000 people in a fierce battle all day, but they blocked the crazy attack of the Han army, which was three times as big as theirs, from the front, which was a blocking battle that was enough to be recorded in history.

Zhang Ping is very proud and proud.

At the level of personal combat power, neither Zhang Ping may be a match for Xiahou Ying, but on this specific battlefield, Zhang Ping did what he could not have done in the past.

"Wuhou, today's battle, the last general will be lucky to be unwilling to be the last general. If Xiahou Ying dares to fight again, he will be rejected by force." In front of the Qin generals, Zhang Ping's rare heroic spirit was posing as a stance that no one else could be.

"Haha, come here, serve as a wine to celebrate General Zhang's merits. In addition, ask the baggage battalion to send ten jars of good wine to the soldiers of Zhang's army, which is said to be rewarded by this marquis." Li Yuan said with a smile.

If you have merits, you will be rewarded; if you have mistakes, you will be punished.

Zhang Pingjun's performance today really made Li Yuan feel tenacity and tenacity. If a second-rate local county troops want to be reborn and become an elite army, they must go through such hard and fierce battles. Only in this way can the ability of the general and the blood of the soldiers be squeezed out to the greatest extent.

"Menghu, what are the abnormal movements of the enemy general Guan Ying today?" After rewarding Zhang Ping, Li Yuan asked at Menghu.

Li Yuan has always been vigilant enough about Guan Ying, a Han general, not only because of Guan Ying's bravery, but also because of this person's cunning enough. He was able to escape from the encirclement set up by the Qin army several times. Guan Ying has proved that he is not a brave but unscrupulous man.

"Wuhou, today, the flag of Guanying's army in the Han army has always stayed behind the battle formation. Finally, the general thought that this was the backup reserved by the Han army. We must not be careless before the war has been decided by the winner or loser." Meng Hu stepped out and reported respectfully.

"General Meng thought when will Guan Ying go out, or where will Guan Ying's next goal be?" Li Yuan asked.

"Wuhou, according to the scout information, the main force of the Han army will arrive at the battlefield at noon tomorrow. As the last general sees it, Guan Ying's troops are very likely to enter the frontal battlefield tomorrow morning. With Guan Ying's fierceness, General Zhang Ping may not be able to resist it." Meng Hu glanced at Zhang Ping, who was still immersed in excitement, and said.

"Major General Meng underestimated me, Zhang Ping, but don't insult our soldiers. My Sanchuan children will never let the Han army step through the defense line." Zhang Ping blushed and said loudly.

"Okay, there's no need to argue with you. Major General Meng led the cavalry to the patrol camp tonight. After General Zhang returned, he quickly rectified the generals and soldiers in case of another battle tomorrow." Li Yuan waved his hand and ordered.

"In addition, I will order Feng Xuanjun to organize a night attack on the enemy camp tonight, and the enemy will not be able to rest." Li Yuan thought for a while, and then rushed to the general who was instructed to the command.

Feng Xuan and his family had more than 2,000 Ba soldiers belonging to the Qin army. This special force of military force that was good at mountain combat was placed in the swamp deep in Wolonggang by Li Yuan.

At this time, Li Yuan did not expect that his supplementary decision would play an immeasurable role in the entire battle situation. The existence of Feng Xuan’s army gave the Qin army a little more guarantee in the darkness of the battlefield.

——.

Late at night, it was as dark as ink.

There are only a few poor stars in the sky, and the little bit of light emitted cannot dispel the black fog after ball.

In the depths of the mud, one or two roars of wild beasts may come occasionally.

The sound was particularly true at night, which made the timid soldiers tremble. Feng Xuan tightly lie down in the wet and soft mud, and as much as possible, he slides like a ba scout in front of him, like a snake without sound.

After months of hard work and months of getting along, Feng Xuan’s current appearance is no longer the former Pianpian Counselor of the General’s Mansion on the streets of Xianyang. At a glance, he looked no different from the Ba people around him.

Night attack.

This is not difficult for the Ba people who are used to traveling through mountains and forests. The impact of night blindness can be ignored. Perhaps because there is enough salt, the Ba people have much better eyesight at night than people in other places.

"General Feng, look over there! There is an enemy." A bahra scout lowered his voice and turned his head at Feng Xuan.

Feng Xuan looked in the direction he indicated, but saw black shadows moving quickly in the jungle ahead under the hazy starlight. Occasionally, he could use a little sword edge to see the standard scabbard hanging on the waists of the Han soldiers, which was different from the Qin army.
