Chapter 8 Kongming Lantern

At this time, a visit happened to be arriving at Malay, saying that the Hegis army was slowly advancing here 10 miles away, with unknown numbers, but at least more than 50,000.

Stilanchi said: "More than 50,000? Do they want to launch a general attack?"

Schi said: "I also wonder, the Hegis Army is not good at attacking on the low ground. Even if it is to attack, it should wait until the supporters gather superior forces to talk about it."

I asked: "Is the terrain that important?"

Stilyang said: "Important! Large-scale impact on the plains is in a lowland. Unless there are many troops out of the opponent, it is a taboo for military strategists."

Schi waved his whip and said, "Follow me to explore ahead."

Schi led a group of generals to the front of the military formation and stood quietly. The 300,000 troops gathered in an orderly manner and arranged the array. There were 5,000 archers on both sides of the formation, 100,000 cavalry in the formation, and followed by infantry to press the formation. We were standing at a high place in a vast Gobi Desert. Looking down, the slope was not large, but it was enough for the cavalry to accumulate strength.

I looked away with my hand and then laughed silently - it was the third update of the night, and there was a fart for the house. The torches behind us were almost like a fire, and the fire oil stars made crackling sounds. The 300,000 troops made the biggest noise not human voices or horses, but the burning sound of the torches. When I looked at both sides of the team, the flames extended to the end of my sight, like a huge fire-winged bird soaring.

The frequency of the Malays' investigation was getting higher and higher, and the Heigis army was slowly approaching, 10 miles, 8 miles, 5 miles... As the distance got closer, the opponent's traveled slower and slower. When they were still 3 miles away, the horses' exploration did not return for a long time, and the enemy seemed to have no news.

Stilwell sat down and said anxiously: "Father, the other party is not a suspicious plan, why is it getting slower and slower when things come to an end?"

Schi said unhappily: "Where are the military books you usually ask you to read? Diyang, tell him why this is."

Stilyang said: "There are two types of raids in the army. One is to attack quickly unexpectedly, and the most important is speed. The other is to suppress the opponent with superior forces. In order to make the opponent retreat and retreat from the area we want, our two armies are far apart and the number of other troops is large. It is unlikely that they will attack sneakily. Chen Zhiyuan knew that we were prepared for a long time, so he did not seek speed. The army was about to charge. He had to accumulate human power and horsepower to get the spirit of fighting in a while."

Stilwell blushed and said, "It turns out to be said in the military book, but I forgot."

Shi Chi said: "It's not that you forgot that military books and actual combat are two different things. No matter how many military books you read, you will throw them away when you are on the battlefield for the first time. This is also a common sense. You will see the world more often in the future, and there are still people who are willing to learn here." Later, he probably was afraid that Stilwell would feel inferior, so he comforted him a few words. Seeing me twisting back and forth on the horse's back, he scolded: "Dizai, listen too, you will have something to use in the future."

I smiled and said, "I don't lead troops to fight, I'm only responsible for my decoration." I smiled on the surface, but in fact I've already started to get anxious. It's not without reason for me to twist back and forth. After a day of flying during the day, I found that the sword energy was not gathering for a long time, but I didn't dare to tell anyone that I don't know how to fight anymore, and I know that many people are pointing at me. Once this news is made public, it is equivalent to shaking the morale of the army. In front of the two armies, the morale of the army is greater than everything!

At this time, the probing horse reported that the enemy was less than two miles away. Schi waved his hand and said, "All army is ready!" The messenger behind him rode his horse and shouted to remind the soldiers that the archer should take off the arrow pouch and stand at his feet to adjust the bowstring.

I looked down hard, and saw the shadows on the opposite side that seemed to be surging with large black fog. At the same time, I felt the ground trembling slightly. It was the resonance of the large group of people moving. Although they were not galloping at fast horses, the momentum was as amazing. The more I looked, I felt something was wrong and couldn't help scratching my head. The black shadow got closer and closer. Many soldiers' armors shone brightly under the moonlight. From me, it was like watching the sea in the middle of the night, shimmering, and the heads were swaying like waves. Two miles away, that is, one

Kilometers, on this plain, it was like meeting each other - I suddenly knew something was wrong: the lanterns and torches on our side were illuminated as daytime, but there were tens of thousands of people on the other side, but there was no light or a torch! If this was to avoid whereabouts, it was simply nonsense. The horses were exploring in front of the formation, and we were on the high ground. Chen Zhiyuan should also know that their actions had been exposed long ago and could not be exposed anymore. Is it ridiculous that he would like to cover up like this?

I couldn't help asking Schi, "Why don't they light the light?"

Schi laughed and said, "Did you just find out?"

I touched my head and said, "I have long felt something is wrong."

Schiz said: "Have you heard of Heigis's people who like darkness?"

I felt aroused, and I remembered what she said to me when Su Jing first met. The Heigis people loved darkness. They put a bead on the highest Hei Osguna Mountain between the two continents to make this bead cover the sun. They took advantage of the city under the cover of darkness. The Sword God, which is my previous life, cut Hei Osguna Mountain for this, so they broke into pieces and died.

I said quietly, "I like it, but can they see the way clearly without ignition?"

Schi said: "Most of them have the ability to see things in secret. I have never heard of Heigis's people getting lost at night."

"What's the reason?"

Schi shook his head and said, "It's unknown, it's probably related to the geographical location, or maybe the people of Heigis have taken some medicine since they were young."

I said, "Then aren't we suffering a lot when we fight?"

Shi Chi said: "When they fought with Heigis, the attacks they launched were almost at night. Fortunately, we had accumulated so many years of experience and were prepared-" Shi Chi shouted, "Let the light!" With his order, he saw many soldiers taking out bamboo strips from their luggage and braided strange monsters. Then he supported them with his hands and stretched into a cylinder shape. Then he lit the sawed candle at the bottom of the cylinder. The inside of the cylinder was heated to produce hydrogen, and they slowly rose into the air one by one. There were 1,000 people in Hong Lie's army responsible for this matter. In a short time, he placed thousands of paper lanterns in the air. He saw stars within a radius of more than ten miles, and the light was suddenly everywhere...
