The people of Zi Shi were stable.
Other than the patrolling soldiers, everyone else had already fallen asleep.
In Xia Lan's tent, under the dim yellow oil lamp, Xia Lan was still buried in her thoughts about the specific plan.
On a small hill outside the Qin camp, two sneaky figures were crouching down, observing every movement in the camp.
"Has the news been sent back?"
One of them asked in a low voice.
The other person nodded slightly." The general already knows about this place. He ordered us to continue monitoring. We must not expose ourselves to avoid alerting the enemy."”
The man nodded and didn't say anything.
The rooster crowed.
The early hours of the morning was the most relaxed time of the day for most people.
At this moment, the normal soldiers were still sleeping soundly.
The soldiers in charge of patrolling were also the most tired at this time.
On the northeast side of the Qin camp, a group of cavalrymen was quietly approaching.
On the south side of the camp, a group of soldiers from Yi 'an City was also heading towards the Qin camp.
No one in the camp knew about the two armies approaching.
On Xia Lan's side, after a busy night, she finally came up with a temporary feasible plan.
Xia Lan, who was a little tired, walked out of the tent and prepared to take a breather.
The cool breeze caressed his face, and the moonlight was like water.
Xia Lan raised her head and stretched her muscles.
Suddenly-
Xia Lan frowned and flapped her nose.
"This smell…"
Through the breeze blowing in her face, Xia Lan could smell a faint fishy smell!
Her mind was spinning rapidly, and Xia Lan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"Enemy attack!"
He shouted loudly!
In an instant, the entire Qin camp was awakened by his shout!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The messenger sounded the war drum, and all the Qin soldiers put on their armor and waited!
Beside them, the vanguard commander Huan He, the right-wing general Wang Ben, and the others quickly walked out of their tents.
"Where are the enemies?"
Huan He was wearing armor. He looked around but didn't see any enemies.
"Who was the one making a ruckus just now?"
Huan He asked in a low voice with an ugly expression.
"General, it's me."
Xia Lan came to Huan He and cupped her hands.
"It's you?"
"Where are the enemies?" Huan He frowned.
The generals around her also looked at Xia Lan angrily.
How could such a major event be trifled with?
If there was no enemy attack, Xia Lan would not be able to escape death.
"General Lan, I want to hear your explanation.”
A hint of disappointment flashed across Huan He's face, but he still decided to give Xia Lan a chance.
In his opinion, Xia Lan was not someone who did not know the big picture. She should not joke about such things.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Xia Lan did not panic at all. She cupped her hands slightly and said,"Commander-in-chief, just now, I came out to enjoy the wind and suddenly smelled a faint smell of mutton.”
"Smelly smell?"
"Is this related to an enemy attack?" Huan He frowned.”
When the soldiers heard this, they were speechless.
Just by smelling the smell of mutton, he was certain that there was an enemy attack?
Ignoring everyone's doubts, Xia Lan continued,""The smell I smell is the smell of mutton.”
"As far as I know, the northern region is cold, and the soldiers of the Zhao country guarding the northern region like to eat mutton to ward off the cold.”
"I've been like this for a long time, and there's a smell that's hard to get rid of on my body.”
When Xia Lan said this, Huan He suddenly realized,""You mean that the smell in the wind is from the garrison in the northern territory of the State of Zhao?”
Xia Lan nodded.
All the soldiers frowned when they heard this.
Although this reason sounded reasonable, it was still a little childish.
The soldiers did not know what to do.
At this moment, another breeze blew.
"Smelly smell!"
Wang Ben instinctively sniffed the air and was shocked!
He also smelled a fishy smell.
Many of the soldiers and short-range soldiers also smelled the faint smell.
"Commander-in-chief!"
Wang Ben quickly cupped his hands.
Huan He understood what he meant and immediately waved his hand."Order the three armies to prepare to face the enemy!"
At this moment, the rooster crowed. Even if it was a mistake, it would only allow the soldiers to get up a little earlier.
However, if they did not guard against it, it was very likely that the enemy would take advantage of it.
At that time, the casualties would be huge.
……
Li Mu, who was a few miles away in the north of the camp, was puzzled by the commotion.
Logically speaking, he had brought his troops over and was considered careful along the way. Why was it that before they launched an attack, the drums in the Qin army's camp were already roaring and torches were lit?
Did he discover them, or was there a problem?
But no matter what, his idea of a sneak attack was clearly out of the question.
Since he couldn't launch a sneak attack, he could only attack forcefully.
Fortunately, he had brought 50,000 cavalry with him this time.
With Sima Shang's thirty thousand soldiers, it shouldn't be a problem for them to take out Huan He's sixty thousand soldiers.
"Soldiers, listen up!"
Thinking of this, Li Mu did not hide anymore. He immediately waved the long sword in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the Qin army's camp."Attack!"
In an instant, 50,000 warhorses moved out, and the rumbling of their hooves resounded throughout the valley!
Thousands of horses trampled on the ground, causing the ground to tremble!
……
"There's movement!"
Li Mu's army began to move, and the Qin army camp immediately felt the ground tremble.
"Good boy!"
Wang Ben looked at Xia Lan with admiration, and immediately drew his sword.
"Soldiers, listen up! Defend the cavalry formation!”
Whoosh!
With the clashing of shields, the Qin soldiers immediately formed into a square formation.
The outer circle of these square formations was formed by soldiers holding huge shields, and the inner circle was formed by soldiers holding long spears.
The end of the long spear was on the ground, and the front end was on the gap above the giant shield!
Further inside were archers.
Finally, there were the generals.
This formation was very good at blocking the charge of cavalry and the harassment of arrows. It was recognized as the best way to deal with cavalry.
While the Qin army was on guard, the Zhao army led by Li Mu appeared in the distance.
A great battle was about to break out.
On Xia Lan's side, she and a group of short-range soldiers were guarding General Huan He.
She was protecting him.
If Huan He didn't die in this battle, they would have a way out.
If Huan He died, according to the laws of Qin, these short-range soldiers would not be able to escape death.
"Ugly." Looking at Chou beside her, Xia Lan whispered,""Listen to my orders later. If you encounter danger, you must take the commander and leave first!”
"Remember, follow General Wang Ben!”
Xia Lan reminded.
Now, Wang Ben was like a loophole in the system, and Xia Lan believed that General Huan He would be able to survive as long as he followed him.
"General, what about you?"
Chou hurriedly asked.
"Don't worry about me." Xia Lan smiled faintly.”
"Remember my words. We must let our brothers live!”
Shang Yan looked at Xia Lan blankly and then nodded heavily.
At this moment, he really regarded Xia Lan as a brother.
