"...If it's just 10,000 troops, don't worry..." Feng Zhen frowned, not showing any signs of relaxation, "It's just that you must choose strong soldiers with good eyes for a night attack, otherwise what's the point of sending a bunch of blind men to fight? Respect? The time is still in the second half of the night, and the requirements for the soldiers' eyes are higher... It is difficult to ensure that there are no reinforcements behind them... "
Don't look at Jiang Pengji who would bring thousands of soldiers and horses to the night raid at every turn. In fact, night raids are rare, and the chances of success are not high.
Of course, once successful, the results will be absolutely fruitful.
In ancient times, people lived in hardship and malnutrition. Sometimes they could not even afford basic salt, which caused various diseases, let alone balanced nutrition. Under such circumstances, many people have contracted night blindness, and they walk like blind people at night.
Under such circumstances, very few generals would choose to attack at night.
However, looking at the history books, there are still examples of night raids. Every game was played extremely beautifully, and finally it was recorded in the annals of history, and its name has gone down in history.
If you just observe carefully, you will find that the scale of the night raids is relatively small, ranging from hundreds to thousands.
As for King Changshou's troops—
Yang Si lowered his eyes, with a slight mockery, "It's amazing to send tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to ambush at night. You might as well make a bold guess. First, some of Wolong County's subordinates may eat inside and outside, and cooperate with the enemy inside and outside. Otherwise, 10,000,000 Yu Bingma, why didn't you alert the night guards? Second, the total strength of the enemy is far more than 10,000. It is usually less than 10% to select soldiers suitable for night attacks from the army. More than 10,000 troops, waiting for us? This is impossible. But if the entire army is all elite soldiers, and people with discerning eyes are selected from them, maybe two of the five people will match. The worst guess is that the enemy troops are all elite..."
Feng Zhen was speechless and said, "What Jingrong means, the enemy troops lurking near Jiamen Pass are between 20,000 and 25,000?"
"It's just a fallacy, it's too much to do." Yang Si smiled and said to Jiang Pengji, "Whether you believe it or not, it still depends on the master's decision."
If the Wolong County Suppression and Remnants can provide more detailed data, Yang Si will have a bottom line.
The problem is that everyone has been beaten and forced, and they can't get a more accurate number in the chaos, and the difference between Yang Si's speculation and the reality will be greater. All in all, the next target of the enemy's ambush in front is most likely to be them, and they have to guard against it.
If you think that the enemy has only 10,000 troops, and you have 30,000 troops and horses, then you will be negligent, and you may be capsized in the sewer.
Jiang Pengji didn't say a word, but just habitually pressed her fingers together and fell into contemplation.
After a while, she continued to inquire about the remnants of Wolong County.
"Can you recall the details of what happened that night? Where did the enemy attack from? Has the leader appeared?"
The middle-aged man tried to rummage through the relevant memories, his mind was full of the bloody storm of that night, and his face showed a bit of pain.
Although the soldiers and soldiers are used to seeing life and death, no one can accept that all their former comrades fall under their feet, and use their bodies and lives to cover them and open up a way to survive. The big man recalled for a while, barely remembering the details of that night.
"That night, there was indeed an extremely brave warrior who was almost unstoppable. It was this person... who cut off the head of the county guard..." The big man's lips trembled, and he endured his emotions. He said, "Remember that right. , those thieves were killed from the right camp position..."
After speaking, he remembered some details.
"After this gentleman's suggestion, now that I think about it, maybe there really is an internal response..." The complexion became even paler, as if a thick layer of powder was applied, "It's one thing for the enemy to appear suddenly, but our soldiers that day The state is also very wrong, although it is the second half of the night, but one by one looks tired, not to mention that there are more than one enemy on weekdays, at least one-on-one is not lost, but that night was defeated."
No matter how surprise attack, the enemy can not kill all the more than ten thousand soldiers and horses in an instant.
It took a quarter of an hour from the time when the war on the periphery was ignited to the time when the central army was broken, but the reaction speed of the soldiers was extraordinarily slow.
Now that I think about it, there must be something tricky about it.
Maybe there really is an internal response, adding ingredients to the soldiers' food
Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and took out a roll of dry lotus leaves from his armor, looking at it soft.
"This is the dinner that day. I wanted to save it for the next morning, but a military doctor took a look and saw if there was any problem in it."
Marching and fighting are no better than others. One meal is often enough for two or three days. Soldiers always eat leftovers from cold meals. It is good to have dry food.
Since the day of the night attack, he has been hungry for two days, and he has not eaten any of these food, and left all the food left for the young master Cai Xiang.
Now that I think about it, Cai Xiang slept most of the time along the way, and even if he wakes up, his spirit is a little sullen.
At that time, it was only when Cai Xiang lost his father that he was sad. Now that he thinks about it, he shudders.
Jiang Pengji's face was solemn, and she waved her hand to let the army officer come over to take a look.
Soldier's medical skills are not outstanding, ordinary trauma can still be dealt with, and his knowledge of pharmacology is quite rich.
Even though the weather is still cold now, these foods have been stored for two or three days, and they are a little rancid, and the soldiers in the army can't smell it.
No way, he can only twist some and put it in his mouth, carefully distinguish the abnormality other than the rancid taste.
After a while, he looked solemn.
"Returning to the lord, it is mixed with sleeping grass that calms the mind, promotes sleep and calms the mind. In addition, there are traces of the golden eggplant flower."
Golden eggplant flower
Jiang Pengji frowned.
Glancing at the screen of the live broadcast room, he also wondered what this thing was.
[I love to send a few]: I checked Cha Du Niang, and the golden eggplant flower is the common name of mandala. In modern society, this thing can also be used for medical purposes. Datura datura preparations are used for surgical anesthesia. By the way, some people speculate that the Mongolian sweat medicine in martial arts novels is also made by Mandala. If this thing is mixed with food, it can really promote sleep, it seems that there is a traitor who has not run away.
As for Sleeping Grass, the audience in the live broadcast room really can't find it.
In fact, they can't even find out.
Sleeping grass is a special kind of horse grass unique to this world. It can promote sleep and calm the mind. The grooms who feed the horses will carry some with them. This thing is used to appease the horses who are horny in the spring season and make the energetic and restless horses. The horses are quiet.
However, sleeping grass takes effect quickly and lasts for a long time, but the medicinal properties are not strong, but rather mild and difficult to detect.
"In that case, Nei Ying put medicine in the diet of the defenders, the enemy army took advantage of the effect of the medicine and the soldiers were tired, so the night attack was successful?"
When the big man heard this, he burst into tears, mourning the unjust deaths of his fellow robes.
Jiang Pengji didn't feel anything.
Fighting is never a matter of law, and generals are not brainless warriors.
On the battlefield, each of them is more sinister and treacherous. In Jiang Pengji's view, drugging the enemy's food is not a big deal. If it weren't for the fact that the poison took effect too quickly, it would be easy to be discovered.
It's just that Sleeping Grass made her a little concerned.
