Chapter 84: Death-warming Fireworks

"What's going on?" Wang Han had been watching the situation in the bandit camp on the other side during the day. The more he watched, the more frightened he became, and the more he watched, the less confident he became.

After all, Wang Han had never seen such an army before. Even if the camp was hastily built, it was still neat and tidy.

The soldiers standing guard were as motionless as statues.

It's just that he didn't know that Zhang Xuan wasn't too relieved. He hadn't rested all the time, worrying that the army would suddenly attack. He couldn't stand it anymore until nightfall. After all, he was marching with the army and he didn't get any special treatment.

Except for one horse.

With Zhang Xuan here, the soldiers of Linying camp will naturally appear to be in high spirits.

When Wang Han saw this, he was inevitably worried, and he was secretly glad that he did not send Bu Congshan to attack rashly.

So it was already very late when I went to bed.

At this moment, being suddenly woken up from sleep, it was inevitable that I would be a little angry.

"Sir, General Bu asked to see you, saying that there is an urgent military situation." The servant said.

Upon hearing the urgent military situation, Wang Han's heart suddenly tightened and he thought to himself: "Did something happen?" Wang Han still knew about Bu Congshan. Regardless of whether he could fight or not, he was also a man with good eyesight.

, if there is nothing important, he will definitely not disturb his practice at this time.

"Let him wait for a moment," Wang Han said. Then he said to the servant: "Get me a basin of cold water quickly and let me wash my face."

"Yes." The servant also knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately changed Wang Han's clothes and fetched water.

Wang Han moved very quickly, and after a while, he put on his official robe and walked out.

At this moment, Bu Congshan was already stomping outside. When he saw Wang Han coming out, he didn't care whether it was rude or not, and said loudly: "It's not good, Governor, a band of thieves are coming from the north."

"What's going on?" Wang Han was shocked and said, "Where did the thief come from? Isn't the thief in the west?"

"Don't worry about where the thieves came from at this time?" Bu Congshan said: "Please also ask the governor to assemble the entire army immediately and prepare for a night battle."

"Okay, okay." Wang Han said with a pale face, "Give me the order and everyone will get up."

"Yes." The soldiers around Wang Han agreed immediately.

Regardless of whether Wang Han is useful or not, with Wang Han's order, the entire camp will have a backbone.

For a time, countless bonfires and torches were lit, illuminating the entire camp as bright as day. From a distance, it seemed as if there was a fire somewhere.

But even so, the speed of gathering of the officers and soldiers was far slower than that of Zhang Xuan's troops. It took less than half an hour from waking up all the soldiers to the time when all the soldiers were assembled and entered combat mode.

But do the officers and soldiers have more than half an hour now?

In fact, the outpost battle has already begun at this moment, involving nothing but the army's night guard and the rebel scouts.

The two sides fought desperately in the dark of the night with no one watching, and the fireworks that exploded were proof of their fighting spirit.

Either the officers and soldiers refused to receive the last call for help at night, or the rebel scouts rushed forward desperately to use fireworks to guide the direction of the army.

"Bang." A firework exploded suddenly, this time it was nowhere else but above the camp.

On top of the watchtower on the north side of the camp.

Bu Congshan's face suddenly became ugly. Even the light of the flames could not hide the depressed look on his face.

Because he understood that the fireworks must not belong to his side, because it was completely meaningless to set off fireworks above his own camp.

If they are enemy fireworks, they can only mean one thing, and that is that the enemy has arrived.

But the soldiers have not been integrated yet. And it is not just the soldiers that are the problem, there is also a problem with the camp.

It takes a lot of effort to build a large camp. Wang Han's subordinate Wenjiaji suddenly moved about ten miles westward before arriving here. It was impossible to build a complete large camp in one day.

Moreover, the thieves were in the northwest, so when building, priority was given to building the camp defenses in the west. But at this moment, the thieves came from behind.

This is the real surprise.

"If it's just one night, just one day." Bu Congshan gritted his teeth and secretly said, "The situation will be much better."

It's just that reality will not change according to any wishes, and Bu Congshan has a vague premonition in his heart.

"Kill." A cry of killing came from far away. In Bu Congshan's ears, it was like a chorus, much deeper. It could only be heard vaguely.

However, what his eyes saw brought him even more horror.

In his pupils, there was a little fire in the distance, which was almost invisible. Then the fire became more numerous, one or two, and then a large area, like a big river bursting its banks and coming from all directions.

An officer banged the alarm bell on one side.

"Ding-dang-dang---" The alarm bell rang desperately like a reminder.

Bu Congshan also immediately came down from the watchtower. He wanted to make preparations. As for what kind of preparations, he didn't know.

One or two miles west of the official camp, Zhang Xuan was suddenly awakened by Qin Meng.

Zhang Xuan woke up and jumped up, grabbed the boots on the ground, and started to kick on his feet. While kicking, he asked, "What's going on?"

"There is chaos in the army camp. Come out and take a look."

In the military camp, Zhang Xuan would hardly take off his clothes to sleep, especially during the war. He would just put the day's cloak on his body and find a ground to relax for a while.

At this moment, after Zhang Xuan tied up his cloak and left, he immediately left the tent and followed Qin Meng up to the watchtower of the camp.

But I saw fireworks blooming. There were countless noisy sounds coming from the army camp, but when they reached Zhang Xuan, they couldn't be heard clearly.

However, Zhang Xuan couldn't understand what they said specifically, but he could hear the panic in their emotions.

"Okay." Zhang Xuan's blood surged with excitement. He didn't know whether it was the color of the torch on one side or Zhang Xuan's original face, which was extremely red.

"Who is on duty now?" Zhang Xuan asked loudly.

"It's a subordinate." Wang Jincai didn't know when he had arrived.

Zhang Xuan glanced and found that Cao Zongyu, Deng He, and Shen Wandeng had already arrived.

"You call all the ministries immediately, and Wang Jincai goes to organize the tools to cross the river. The army will cross the river." Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes." Among the four people, even though some of them didn't know what the current situation was about, they also knew that the opportunity was rare. They shouted loudly and immediately went down to prepare.

Zhang Xuan looked at the countless bonfires in the camp, spreading from everywhere visible to the naked eye, but within a moment, the lights were brightly lit.

There are several school fields left in the camp, which are used for sudden gatherings.

However, a quarter of an hour later, the first Linying camp was assembled, and the Nanyang camp and Xiping camp were assembled in sequence.

Zhang Xuan immediately asked: "Wang Jincai, are your things ready?"

"Ready." Wang Jincai said loudly: "Commander, come and take a look."

Zhang Xuan followed Wang Jin down to the watchtower and saw more than a hundred wooden boards that looked like door panels stacked on one side.

Someone laid these planks on top of the skeleton of a long ladder to form a long wooden bridge.

Anyway, Suishui is not very wide.

"Is there a place where I can swim across the Suishui River?" Zhang Xuan asked Qin Meng.

"There are one or two places. After nightfall, I sent people to test it. The Sui River is not too deep, but there are two places that are particularly shallow. The cavalry can wade through the water, but it is a little further." Qin Meng said.

"Send someone immediately to join General Yang and let the Yang family know that the army is on the west bank of the Suishui River." Zhang Xuan said.

Zhang Xuan did this to satisfy Yang Shengzu's wishes, and also to give Yang Shengzu a retreat route if today's war could not be resolved neatly.

"Yes." Qin Meng immediately went down to make arrangements.

"The Baoding camp has stayed and is stationed in the camp." Zhang Xuan said: "Linying camp is in the middle, Nanyang camp, and Xiping camp are on the left and right sides. Cross the river together. Remember to make a big noise and set up the front for me.

Put torches on everyone in the river and make a bluff. Regardless of whether we can cross the river or not, scare me first on the other side." Zhang Xuan said.

The morale of the battle was so great that under such attacks from both front and back, and also during night battles, with the enemy's situation unknown, and such attacks from front and back, how many soldiers could still maintain a calm mind.
