This night, Yang Hao was practicing knives under the moon.
A corner of the camp is where the stove room is located, at this time the moon is like water, the thick wooden sticks in the open space are piled up, Yang Hao picked up a stump and erected it on the ground, raised the knife with both hands, held his breath and concentrated, a knife was swung down, the force only made seven points, the wooden stake "clicked" a soft sound, the left and right were divided into two halves, and the tip of the knife was only three inches from the ground.
Blood had blistered on his hands, and now both hands were wrapped in strips of cloth.
There was a burning pain when his arm waved, but he still gritted his teeth and endured.
After suffering hardships, Master Fang Chengren has now dispelled the delusion of ascending to the sky, hoping to achieve his career with his own efforts.
In this military camp, at least the force must be had, that is the capital of self-preservation, the war together, the general is too busy to take care of himself, who will protect him at that time, even if he has the talent of the world, he will be killed by a big soldier.
He must have the power of self-preservation, and with his current status, it is impossible to have a personal guard, so he must master a certain amount of force.
Cutting 500 knives a day is a rule he has set for himself.
Every day, he followed Cheng Shixiong, learned him to take care of military affairs, learned from him to inspect the camp, learned from him to approve and dispatch, and learned how he dealt with those big-headed soldiers.
Five hundred knives, it sounds easy, but when he really does it, he knows that these five hundred knives, each knife is condensed with strength and spirit, and how much strength is needed to use the transportation method taught by General Cheng to cut down, but he still insisted, rain or shine, last night the rain poured, he also split five hundred knives in the rain, and then crawled back to the nest like a dead dog to sleep.
"Four Hundred and Ninety-Seven" Yang Hao bent down his sore waist, erected another wooden stake, and slammed his knife on the ground, gasping for breath.
He didn't want to chop down every knife casually, he had to breathe evenly, use the most correct method of transportation to make a knife, five hundred knives, each knife was executed in accordance with General Cheng's instructions, never wasting a knife, never slackening a single point of strength.
He raised the knife again, his feet were not small, his body was like a mountain, he held the knife in both hands, the blade was gently raised above his head, his eyes seemed to be real and real, and he was focused on the stake.
The moonlight reflected on the blade, fluctuating slightly like flowing water, and the four hundred and eighty-seven knives slashed down, and it was already very difficult for him to stabilize the knife in his hand.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a noisy sound, listened for a while, Yang Hao quickly ran on the pile of firewood, looked into the distance, only to hear the sound of fighting from the north, the sound of the golden drum was endless, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart: "The Northern Han army attacked the camp at night, in order to hit the morale of our Song army, or to try to break through and escape to the grassland" At this time, the alarm sounded in the camp, and Cheng Shixiong hurriedly walked out of the big tent in armor.
Cheng Shixiong has a good way of governing the army, his border army is not as equipped as the forbidden army, and it looks tall, short, fat and thin, not like the forbidden army, all of them are big men with uniform height, but they are stationed in the bitter cold all year round, and their combat effectiveness and combat experience are not inferior to the forbidden army that has not tasted defeat in the Central Plains, especially they have just been transferred to the front line, and the soldiers are full of energy, so they are ready to respond early, and the camp is silent, without any noise.
In contrast, Yang Hao, who hurried back, became the most uncontrollable one, and seeing the orderly order in the camp, Yang Hao couldn't help but blush.
Cheng Shixiong knew that he was practicing knives in the back camp, and when he saw him running sweating profusely, he did not reprimand, but comforted him in a harmonious voice: "Don't panic, the more you are about to face a big event, the more calm you must be."
You've just enlisted in the army, and you'll be able to calm down when you hear the shouts of killing. ” He climbed the lookout and looked to the north for a while, where he could only faintly see the faint light of fire in the direction of the north city because of the corner of the city, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Cheng Shixiong said: "The Northern Han soldiers attacked the Beicheng garrison at night, and the Beicheng was guarded by General Yu Hou Zhao, the infantry army of the forbidden army. ” Yang Hao was his personal soldier, so he followed him, and when he heard the voice, he asked: "General, don't we need to send troops over to support?"
Cheng Shixiong said: "The night is dark, and the enemy situation is unknown, how can you act rashly."
Once you fall into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, or lure it into an ambush, you remember, but for this kind of night attack on the camp, the battalions must not rush to help, even if they get the signal for help from the attacked military camp, they must be careful and repeated, and the battalions echo and go.
If the enemy rushes to the camp successfully, it is only a chaotic battalion, if you mess up your position and rush to help, once you fall into the enemy's tricks, you will lose everything, and there is no room for return. ” Yang Hao said solemnly: "Yes, my subordinates are taught." ” The sound of fighting in Beicheng lasted for less than two pillars of incense before falling silent, and then the Beicheng garrison battalion sent out the lights and gongs and drums that the enemy had retreated.
Once the other side is prepared, or the response is timely, the conditions for the sneak attack will be lost, and a wise general will immediately withdraw his troops, rather than changing the sneak attack into a decisive battle.
Cheng Shixiong smiled, yawned and said: "These rabbit cubs, let's not attack the city, they still have the leisure to sneak attack, ah sleepy, disarm and go back to sleep." ” Yang Hao followed him down the wooden ladder and returned to the camp tent of the Chinese army, at this time he had mastered the composition and wearing method of various parts of the armor of this era, he skillfully untied the drape for Cheng Shixiong, and said: "The police signal was suddenly transmitted, and the subordinates saw that the police signal came from Beicheng, and they also speculated whether the Han army was going to break through the siege and flee to the grassland at night, and now it seems that their purpose is to disturb the minds of our army, and the general is not worried that they will attack our camp again."
Cheng Shixiong said: "This kind of thing is a surprise and unpreparedness to attack at night, once it is discovered, then there is no need to play."
Look at this situation, the enemy's night attack is not to break through, but to disturb the morale of our army, hey now that the battalions are on alert, they dare to come again, you can also go to sleep. ” Yang Hao said: "Yes, the general, please rest, his subordinates have set themselves the rule of five hundred knives per day, and now there are still three knives missing." ” Cheng Shixiong smiled and said: "But three knives can help the bird, go to sleep."
Yang Hao hesitated slightly, shook his head and said: "This is the number of sword practice, if the subordinates say that if they reduce three knives for one reason, they can find another reason to reduce ten knives, and if they continue like this, they will not succeed."
Therefore, it can only increase, not decrease."
Cheng Shixiong glanced at him in surprise, and said with a smile: "Good boy, okay, then you can go, go to bed early after practicing the knife." ” At this time, Liu Jiye, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty, picked the bell and wrapped the hooves in cotton, and had quietly concentrated 600 elite cavalry in the West Gate.
Twenty crossbowmen had already been dispatched, and they were lurking and sneaking in, tasked with shooting the garrison sentries of Cheng Shixiong's camp.
The real target of his sneak attack tonight was not the North Camp, but the West Camp.
Among the four battalions outside the city, only the western camp is not controlled by the forbidden army, but in the hands of the Northwest Zhe clan, and their army has just changed its defenses, and its morale, military spirit, and combat power have not been frustrated, which is undoubtedly the strongest formation, which is one of the reasons why Cheng Shixiong speculated that he would not come.
But Liu Jiye did the opposite, in his opinion, the morale of Xiying is booming, so the vigilance is bound to be the least, which is the best opportunity to surprise.
If the sneak attack on Xiying can succeed in a battle, the court will blame Xiying for being careless and being taken advantage of by the enemy.
And Xiying belongs to the Zhe clan alone, and the soldiers will inevitably complain that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will not be saved when they see death.
Once they centrifuge, the besieging military horses will no longer be monolithic, and the Northern Han will have an opportunity to take advantage of it.
The reason why Liu Wudi is invincible is not that his soldiers are braver than the Khitans, nor that he has the martial arts of one enemy and ten thousand, it is precisely because of his strategy and tactics.
In the feint attack on the North Camp, when all the battalions turned their attention to the North Camp, his twenty archers had quietly hidden the station of Cheng Shixiong in the West Camp, secretly shooting at the lookout posts everywhere, clearing the antlers of the horses, and preparing for his cavalry raid.
Everything in front of him was ready to stop, and a light signal was sent to him, Liu Jiye immediately opened the city gate, and personally led six hundred strong men to roll towards Cheng Shixiong's camp like a thunderous wind.
As soon as Yang Hao walked to the side camp and raised his big knife, the sound of fighting came from the front camp, Yang Hao's heart jumped "tom", and he quickly picked up the knife and rushed to the Chinese army.
When I arrived at the camp of the Chinese army, I saw Cheng Shixiong's robe half open, and he was hurrying out of the tent with a belt.
He expected that the enemy would not launch a second sneak attack tonight, so he took off a clean one, without a small coat in his robe, and his half-naked chest was black with chest hair, it seemed that this General Cheng was still a naked sleeping enthusiast.
His boots were on, but his socks were not tied, and the scarf from his hair was removed, and his hair looked like he had just been thrown off the kang by his wife of the Hedong Lion.
The front camp has been lit with fires everywhere, because the soldiers in the large camp have relaxed their vigilance because of the unsuccessful sneak attack on Beicheng by the Northern Han army, so Liu Jiye's move to "return to the horse gun" really caught them off guard.

They had just undressed their armor and clothes, and now they hurriedly put them on again, and when they rushed out of the camp with their swords and guns, the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty had already slaughtered like a whirlwind, throwing torches everywhere, and even the forage carts were ignited, causing chaos in the camp.
Cheng Shixiong rushed out of the camp in a rage because he was wrong, hurriedly tied his cloth robe, snatched the halberd from his own soldiers, and shouted loudly: "But the enemy attacked the camp."
Someone had already rushed forward a few steps, bowed down and said: "General Qiqi, hundreds of cavalry of the Northern Han Army attacked our army at night, and the horses kicked the company camp, and now it seems that they are going to pass through the front camp to kill the general's main formation, please make a decision." ” Cheng Shixiong roared and said: "Since the enemy is coming to me, I will meet the enemy, prepare horses, and kill the enemy with me." ” The pro-army on the side hurriedly persuaded: "General, the front camp is chaotic, the enemy and us are indistinguishable, and we can't advance in the night, so it's better for us to hold this position, and ask the general to quickly call all battalions to help." ” The soldier hurriedly said, Cheng Shixiong only thought he was farting, he had already jumped on an unsaddled war horse, and in the torch hunting, he saw that his hair was like flying, his eyes were ringing, his halberd was raised, and his voice was like thunder: "Kill the enemy with me" After saying that, he shook the reins of the horse, and the horse took the lead and killed the front camp full of fire.
