Seven Hundred and Seventy-Eight: Breakout, Beauty Lobbyist (2)

"...If there are only 10,000 troops, there is no need to worry..." Fengzhen frowned, showing no intention of relaxing, "It's just that for night attacks and ambushes, strong soldiers with good eyesight must be selected, otherwise it will be like sending a bunch of blind men to fight. What's the difference? It's still in the middle of the night when it's dark, and the requirements for the soldiers' eyesight are higher... It's difficult to ensure that there are no reinforcements behind them..."

Although Jiang Pengji often led thousands of soldiers and horses to attack at night, in fact, night attacks were rare and the chance of success was low.

Of course, once successful, the results will be absolutely fruitful.

In ancient times, people lived in poverty and suffered from 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 walk at night as if they were blind.

Under such circumstances, few generals would choose to attack at night.

However, throughout the history books, there are still examples of night attacks. Each game was fought extremely beautifully, and it was finally recorded in the annals of history and left its name in history.

If you just observe carefully, you will find that the scale of night raids is relatively small, with the number of people ranging from hundreds to thousands.

As for King Changshou’s troops——

Yang Si lowered his eyes and said with a bit of ridicule, "Sending tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack and ambush at night is really amazing. You might as well make a bold guess. First, there may be some people under the Wolong County Guard who are cheating and cooperating with the enemy. Otherwise, everything will be lost. Why did the remaining soldiers and horses not alert the night patrol garrison? Secondly, the enemy's total strength is far more than 10,000. Selecting soldiers suitable for night attacks from the army, normally less than 10%, Changshou Wangqian would place 10 soldiers at Jiamen Pass There are more than 10,000 troops, waiting for us? This is impossible. But if the entire army is made up of elite soldiers and people with good eyesight are selected from them, two of the five people may be suitable. The worst guess is that the enemy troops are all elite... "

Fengzhen was speechless and said, "What does Jingrong mean, the number of enemy troops lurking near Jiamen Pass is between 20,000 and 25,000?"

"It's just a fallacy, there's no way it can be done." Yang Si smiled and said to Jiang Pengji, "Whether you believe it or not, it still depends on the Lord's decision."

If the remnants of the Wolong County Guard could provide more detailed data, Yang Si would have some idea.

The problem is that everyone is in a state of confusion, and the war is in chaos and it is impossible to get more accurate figures. The discrepancy between Yang Si's speculation and the actual situation will become even greater. All in all, the next target of the enemy's ambush in front is very 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, you will be careless and may end up capsizing.

Jiang Pengji didn't say a word, but habitually touched her fingers with each other, lost in thought.

After a while, she continued to question the remnants of the Wolong County Guard.

"Can you carefully recall the details of what happened that night? Where did the enemy attack from? Has the leader appeared?"

The middle-aged man tried hard to search for relevant memories. His mind was filled with the bloody storm of that night, and his face showed a bit of pain.

Although the soldiers were used to seeing life and death, no one could accept that all their former comrades fell at their feet, and they used their bodies and lives to cover them and open up a way to survive. The big man thought about it for a while, barely remembering the details of that night.

"That night, there was indeed an extremely brave general who was almost unstoppable. It was this man who... cut off the head of the county guard..." The big man's lips trembled, and he suppressed his emotions and said, "Remember That's right, those thieves came from the right camp..."

After he finished speaking, he remembered some details.

"After this gentleman's suggestion, now that I think about it, maybe there is really an inside job..." His face became even paler, as if he had applied a thick layer of powder, "It's one thing for the enemy to appear suddenly, but our soldiers that day Their state is also very wrong. Even though it was late at night, each one of them looked tired. Usually, not only do they defeat many enemies with one, but at least they do not lose in one-on-one situations, but that night they were completely defeated."

No matter how unexpected the attack, the enemy cannot kill all the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in an instant.

It took a quarter of an hour from the time the fighting broke out on the outside until the Chinese army was defeated.

The soldiers' reaction speed was extremely slow.

Now that I think about it, there must be something fishy in it.

Maybe there was really an inside job, adding ingredients to the soldiers' meals?

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his hand and took out a roll of dry lotus leaves from his armor, looking at the softness.

"This was the dinner for that day. I wanted to save it for the next morning, but a military doctor took a look to see if there was anything wrong with it."

Marching and fighting are no different than other battles. One meal often lasts for two or three days, and the soldiers always eat cold rice and leftovers. It would be nice to have dry food.

He had been hungry for two days since the night attack, and he had not eaten any of this food, leaving all of it for the young master Cai Xiang.

Now that I think about it, Cai Xiang slept most of the way. Even when he woke up, his energy was a little weak.

At that time, he only thought that Cai Xiang had lost his father and was feeling sad. Thinking about it now, he shuddered.

Jiang Pengji looked solemn and waved for the army doctor to come over and take a look.

The medical skills of the doctor who accompanied the army were not outstanding. He could still deal with ordinary trauma, and his pharmacological knowledge was quite rich.

Even though the weather is still cold now, these foods have been stored for two or three days and are slightly rancid. The army doctor can't smell it.

He had no choice but to twist some and put it in his mouth, carefully distinguishing abnormalities other than the sour taste.

After a long effort, he looked solemn.

"Reporting to my lord, it is mixed with sleeping grass that calms the nerves, promotes sleep and calms the mind. In addition, there are traces of golden eggplant."

Golden eggplant?

Jiang Pengji frowned.

When I glanced at the screen of the live broadcast room, I was confused as to what this thing was.

[I love sending them so much]: After checking with Chadu Niang, I found that the golden eggplant flower is the common name of Datura. In modern society, this thing can also be used for medical purposes. A preparation made from datura is used for surgical anesthesia. By the way, some people speculate that the martial arts sweat medicine is also made of datura. If you mix this thing into food, it can really induce sleep. It seems that the traitor has not escaped.

As for sleeping grass, viewers in the live broadcast room really can’t find it.

In fact, they couldn't find it.

Sleeping grass is a special kind of horse grass unique to this world. It can promote sleep and calm the mind. Horse grooms will always carry some with them. This stuff is used to appease horses that have difficulty in getting rid of lust, anger, and fire in the spring season, and to increase their energy. Exuberant, agitated horses are quiet.

However, the medicinal effect of sleepwort is quick and long-lasting, but its medicinal properties are not strong, but rather mild and difficult to detect.

"So, the insider put medicine in the diet of the defenders. The enemy took advantage of the effect of the medicine and made the soldiers tired, and then the night attack was successful?"

After hearing this, the big man burst into tears, lamenting that all his colleagues had died unjustly.

Jiang Pengji didn't feel anything at all.

Fighting is never a formal matter, and generals are not mindless warriors.

On the battlefield, each of them was more vicious and cunning than the other. From Jiang Pengji's point of view, drugging the enemy's food was nothing. If the poison hadn't taken effect so quickly and was easy to detect, maybe they would have just let the enemy drug them and killed them.

However, the sleeping grass thing made her a little concerned.
