Lanshui Youyou: "Awesome, my streamer. So there really was a letter of challenge in ancient times."
Xingyue Tianyun: "That's not the point. The point is that my mind is filled with" Zhuge Liang sent a letter of challenge to us for a decisive battle tomorrow. How should we fight the enemy? " Am I overthinking it, or have I logged too much on Bilibili? I'm looking forward to the streamer and Huang Song quarreling in front of the battlefield! "
In this season, the days were short and the nights were long. The sky darkened early. Before the end of the broadcast, it was already dark outside.
The battle would begin the next day. Jiang Pengji took her time tonight. Her slender fingers played with the bean-sized candlelight. No one knew what she was thinking.
Unbeknownst to her, outsiders thought that Jiang Pengji was daydreaming, but she was actually investigating the surrounding environment.
Because Huang Song's battle was very important, Jiang Pengji did not dare to take it lightly.
She did not give Huang Song a chance to sneak an attack. Almost every day, she had to spread out her mental strength to investigate the enemy within a hundred miles.
There was no progress before, but today there was a different discovery.
She furrowed her brows in deep thought. As she withdrew her mental strength, she guessed the origin of the troops.
Tomorrow was the decisive battle. She did not want to be attacked by an unknown enemy halfway through the battle.
Jiang Pengji shouted to the outside, "Quickly summon the generals. Tell them that I have something important to discuss."
She suddenly shouted. Qin Gong and the others naturally rushed over without even taking off their armors.
"Tomorrow's decisive battle …" Jiang Pengji glanced at the few of them and pointed to two newly promoted newcomers. The profession of a general was obtained through military merits. Not only did it require a certain amount of luck, but it also required a stage to perform. Jiang Pengji was quite generous in this aspect. This was also one of the reasons for the internal unity. She then said to Xie Ze, "Yuangui, you will lead the troops to guard the rear tomorrow."
Xie Ze originally thought that there would be some people, but he was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Why?
Why was he the one guarding the rear?
Xie Ze was the vanguard general. Logically, he should be the vanguard. She changed her mind at the last minute and transferred him to the rear.
He plucked up the courage to ask. Jiang Pengji also gave him a reason.
Jiang Pengji said seriously, "I just received a secret report. there will be changes in the battlefield tomorrow. I asked you to guard the rear out of consideration as a whole."
Xie Ze nodded his head and stepped out to receive the order. He returned to his original valiant and high-spirited attitude, as if he could raise his spear and kill the enemy right now.
Qin Gong was younger than Xie Ze, but he definitely had more experience on the battlefield than Xie Ze, so he was naturally more sensitive.
"There's a change in the battlefield tomorrow? Could it be that Huang Song still has some tricks up his sleeves? "
"I'm not sure yet. We'll know tomorrow," Jiang Pengji said. "Yuan Gui, you must guard the rear well. Don't let your guard down."
Even though there were very few generals under her command who thought they were smart and made decisions on their own, those who were young and famous were always more impetuous. They were eager to perform meritorious deeds, so it was inevitable that they would drop the ball at critical moments … Jiang Pengji had to remind them from time to time to prevent them from being hot-blooded.
Generals were a profession where their heads were tied to their waistbands. If their brains weren't good, how long could they live?
After a round of discussion, Jiang Pengji closed the streaming room, washed up, and went to bed. She needed to rejuvenate herself. There would be a big battle the next day.
At the same time, the troops led by Feng Jue were resting at a place dozens of miles away. The scouts sent out had also gotten a clear understanding of the situation at the frontlines. Knowing that the decisive battle between his lord and Jiang Pengji had yet to begin, Feng Jue heaved a long sigh of relief. He had finally made it in time …
A general hesitantly asked Feng Jue, "Military Counselor, should we rush over to meet up with our lord tonight, or …"
Feng Jue shook his head and said thoughtfully, "If we rush over tonight, most of our troops will be exhausted. They won't have much combat power left. How can we help our lord tomorrow? It's better to let the army rest for a while. When the two armies face off tomorrow, you and I will lead the troops to launch a sneak attack from behind while Liu Xi is lax. We'll take her by surprise and attack her when she's unprepared. This will definitely cause Liu Xi to panic … In this way, the pressure on our lord's side will be reduced … "
Feng Jue withdrew his troops from the frontlines. In order to confuse Qiguan Rang, he specially led his troops to take a detour to mislead Qiguan Rang, making him think that he was not rushing to the frontlines but had sent his troops back to reinforce Haozhou. In other words, Jiang Pengji did not know that Feng Jue's troops had already arrived.
In this way, Jiang Pengji would be defenseless when Feng Jue launched a sneak attack from behind tomorrow.
How could they know that Jiang Pengji was different from them? She had long noticed Feng Jue's actions.
The next day, the sky was dimly lit, and the morning sun shone faintly.
The troops of the two armies confronted each other in the cold wind. Banners fluttered in the wind, and the battlefield was filled with a somber atmosphere. The banners with the word "Liu" or "Huang" written on them fluttered in the wind, making a loud sound. The swords and spears flashed with cold light, reflecting the resolute faces of their owners. The morale of the troops was twisted into a ball. The murderous aura of the military formation filled the sky, and even the air was cold. Under such an atmosphere, the salted fish in the streaming room did not dare to joke.
Jiang Pengji was dressed in red clothes and silver armor. Her red tassel helmet covered most of her face, but it could not hide the undercurrent that surged in her eyes.
Behind her, the troops wore bright armor and were in high spirits. Their morale had reached its peak.
In the face of such a lineup, it was impossible for Huang Song's side to not feel pressured.
However …
He had no way out!
Huang Song closed his eyes and opened them again. His eyes were calm.
If it was in the past, fighting a war had to follow procedures. Nowadays, it was more and more casual. Fighting a war was fighting a war. Huang Song was not foolish enough to suggest a battle between generals. He knew that Jiang Pengji's martial strength alone was enough to challenge everyone, regardless of whether it was one-on-one, one-on-one, or a group fight.
Under such circumstances, the troops of the two sides seemed to have no other activities other than fighting.
They could not possibly let more than 200,000 people watch their lord chat in front of the battlefield, could they?
"Beat the drums!"
At the command, the drummers pushed out hundreds of war chariots with big cowhide drums.
Dong!
Dong! Dong!
The sound of the war drums boosted the morale of the whole army. Jiang Pengji also raised her hand and waved, indicating that the war drums could begin.
The military formation stretched for several miles. The two armies added up to more than 200,000 troops and horses. They had to rely on this method to transmit all kinds of information.
The beating of the drums was not only to boost morale, but also to inform the troops —
Everyone perked up. Those who were absent-minded came back to their senses. Those who were sleepy woke up. The big battle was about to begin!
Jiang Pengji was the commander-in-chief for this battle. Although Luoyue was capable, he had been squatting in the rear to deal with security and border defense all year round. He did not have much actual experience in commanding troops. Regarding this, Luoyue was not the least bit unwilling. If the lord commanded the troops, it meant that she could not act recklessly!
Qin Gong and the others rubbed their palms together. Every one of them was in high spirits.
Without waiting for Jiang Pengji to give the order, the enemy troops could not hold back anymore. Shouts of "kill" resounded through the sky, causing pain in one's ears.
The soldiers who carried the flags waved the flags. It was as if black clouds were floating in the sky. The soldiers who beat the drums worked even harder. Because they used all their strength to beat the drums, the muscles on their arms tightened. One arm was as thick as an ordinary person's thigh. Their oily sweat soaked their skin until it glistened.
Jiang Pengji smiled, drew her sword, and gave the order.
