"Brother, what should I do?"
Zhai Le felt annoyed as he listened to the snoring sounds entering his ears.
If the enemy attacks at this time, how many of these people can immediately prepare to meet the enemy? Will they just sit there and wait to be captured and killed
He wanted to remind them, but seeing Captain Yang's rejection of their brothers, he would probably be disliked and criticized if he intervened.
Zhai Huan said without even raising his eyelids, "I'll do my best."
What this means is that all we can do is "leave it to fate."
Seeing that Zhai Le was unhappy, Zhai Huan comforted his cousin in a kind voice: "The bad guys haven't shown up yet, maybe the hexagram is wrong."
Of course, even he himself couldn't convince himself of this.
The enemy in the dark is definitely planning what he wants.
Perhaps they fell into the trap from the moment they started sliding on the field.
Zhai Huan closed his eyelids and pondered. He did not deny that the scout was experienced and tried his best to collect intelligence, but no matter how experienced the scout was, he would still fall into the trap if he met an experienced hunter.
We are all responsible for the current situation.
He asked, "Has Captain Yang arranged patrols?"
Zhai Le said: "Yes."
When marching and camping at night, even if you are not on guard against the enemy, you have to be on guard against jackals, tigers and leopards, and there will definitely be people arranged to keep watch and patrol.
But in Zhai Le's view, these soldiers were too lazy.
It is hard to say how effective the night patrol will be.
Zhai Huan: "Sit down and rest for a while, in the second half of the night..."
He swallowed the rest of his words.
After exiting this muddy mountain road, there is a relatively wide and smooth official road, which can greatly increase the marching speed, making it difficult for the criminals to intercept them. The most likely possibility is to launch a sneak attack in the second half of the night when all the soldiers are asleep...
Although Zhai Huan was confident that he could escape unscathed, it was not his style to not fight a decisive battle when facing a strong opponent, so he had to fight anyway.
Zhai Le nodded.
He did not go anywhere else, but sat down beside Zhai Huan, closed his eyes and rested, ready to deal with any emergency. The sound of the rain gradually faded away, the dark clouds dispersed, and the bright moon that had disappeared for half the night finally showed half of its shy face, and the chirping of insects that was covered by the sound of rain gradually became noisy.
The two brothers could still calm down, but Captain Yang was different.
The anger in his heart made him lose all desire to sleep.
With nothing to do, he was ready to patrol with his shiny white sword in hand. His subordinates flattered him: "Captain, leave the patrol and vigilance to the people below. You can warm yourself by the fire first."
Captain Yang did not refuse after hearing this.
Although the heavy rain stopped, the dampness and coldness in the air still persevered in penetrating into the skin. The half-dried rain mixed with sweat and wet the inner garment under the armor. It felt like thousands of ants were crawling on the skin, making people extremely uncomfortable. He said, "Hmm."
Sitting down and warming myself by the fire, I felt much more relaxed.
He asked his subordinates, "What about the brothers?"
The subordinate knew that his superior disliked the Zhai Huan brothers, so he pointed in the direction of the group of soldiers and curled his lips in disdain: "They are sleeping over there."
Upon hearing this, Captain Yang's disgust increased sharply.
The officer didn't explain it clearly, so he subconsciously thought that the two of them were sleeping among the soldiers, which was "cowardly" and "afraid of death". Zhai Huan was fine, but Zhai Le, a young and brave warrior, was so afraid of death, without the courage of a man.
Furthermore—
How can you sleep peacefully outdoors at night
Captain Yang shook his head disdainfully and paid no more attention.
The clothes under the armor were almost burned to ashes, and Captain Yang still wanted to go on patrol with a knife, but was persuaded by his subordinates with a few words.
He said sincerely: "Captain, you are our backbone. Why do you need to do the night patrol yourself? Only if you have enough rest, you can lead us to defeat the enemy in case of any trouble."
Captain Yang felt very relieved after hearing this.
He liked this subordinate the most because he valued his talent and promoted him several times. Well, this young man did not disappoint his expectations. He was young, smart, sensible, down-to-earth and loyal. Unlike other people, once they gain power, they become arrogant and forget their roots or become arrogant.
Captain Yang patted his subordinates on the shoulders, expressing his great satisfaction.
He just stood up and sat back down again.
The subordinates had long understood their boss's temper thoroughly, and he would say whatever the latter wanted to hear, and every time he did so, he could always say it just right.
He said, "Let's go down here and see how the night patrol goes."
"Well, go ahead and report back as soon as you have any news."
The official took the order and withdrew with a smile.
He caught two groups of lazy night patrol soldiers and beat them up in the name of Captain Yang. Under the soldiers' flattery and pleading, he accepted some benefits and reluctantly agreed to help cover up. As soon as he walked away, the night patrol soldiers spat at him.
"Bah! What the hell!"
We are all human beings, and we are all following the same path.
Aren’t they sleepy
The people around them could sit down and rest, but they could only drag their tired bodies to continue their mission. Two people in a group, a total of twenty groups, patrolled and stood guard in different directions: "Tsk, damn, I am so tired after a whole day."
I finally made it to the second half of the night.
Taking advantage of the cover of the tree trunks and branches, a group of soldiers took a break. One of them asked his partner to help keep watch, turned his back, untied the waist rope and soaked it in water, and then took out the dry food wrapped in oil paper from his arms. Although it was not wet, it smelled a little sour, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft—damn, it's sour."
Although he disliked the strange taste in his mouth, he still frowned and swallowed the rest - although the garrison had no shortage of military pay, not every soldier could eat their fill. Some people not only had to eat for themselves, but also had to support their families, so they dared not waste food.
Another person said, "Just make it through tonight."
The soldiers moistened their rations with their saliva and swallowed them with difficulty.
He said, "Look at the weather. It will rain tomorrow."
Another person said, "We are almost done with this section of the journey."
He agreed when he heard it.
I get angry when I think about this. I don’t know who chose this road. Walking on it can cost you half your life.
The two of them got together and cursed at each other, complaining about the delayed payment of military salaries, about their bastard superiors who took extra money, and about how they had not received any promotion after working for several years. One of their fellow villagers had even become a team leader, in charge of 20 people... But they only dared to speak in private, not daring to let anyone else hear.
but-
Is it true that no third person heard it
In the darkness, there were two pairs of cold eyes silently staring in their direction. They were Chu Yao and Gong Shuwu.
Unlike the tired soldiers under Captain Yang, Gong Shuwu and the other two were very energetic. They had taken a short rest and eaten and drunk their fill before coming.
Gong Shu Wudao: "Sir, shall we start now?"
In his opinion, the timing is right.
Chu Yao shook his head: "Wait a little longer."
Gong Shuwu: "Still waiting?"
If we wait any longer it will be dawn.
Chu Yao said: "Well, wait for Wu Lang and the others, and then we can start together."
The four people were divided into two groups and had no way of communicating.
Therefore, Chu Yao was not sure where Shen Tang and the others were.
He could only wait for Shen Tang to take action first, and then he would support him.
Defeat the enemy with one blow and don't give them a chance to breathe.
Gong Shuwu: “…”
That being said, why did he feel that Mr. Chu was unhappy that Shen Wulang was taken away by Qi Yuanliang
He was a dignified fifth-rank doctor of the ninth grade and had never suffered such injustice.
