Chapter 384: Rapid Assault
Ten miles outside the north gate of Yucheng, at the front camp of Songjian, Xiao Jingchuan ordered Hu Chen to lead the troops to the north for a surprise attack!
Unexpectedly, just after the order was over, the roof was suddenly broken by branches and trunks, making a hole!
The rainwater accumulated on the top of the tarpaulin poured down all over Xiao Lang, soaking him all over, and he was instantly soaked like a drowned chicken!
Upon seeing this, the three people under the pestle tent, Xiao, Li and Yuan, were all stunned!
After a long while, Hu Chen finally managed to hold back his laughter.

"Uh"

"Oh, what do you think, this horrible weather!"

"It's muddy everywhere outside!"

"Here, the water on top is causing trouble!"

"Hey! I'm talking to the Overseer!"

"You said that the Yucheng government gate has a well-built roof, why don't you just live there peacefully instead of wasting time with this front camp?"

"This is just asking for trouble!" Hu Chen tried to persuade him, but it was hard to say good things!

Hearing the concern, Xiao Jingchuan shook the rain off his head and smiled bitterly.

"hehe!"

"You think I'm the kind of person who won't endure any hardship? Huh?!"

As he was speaking, although Yuan Ping didn't say much, he felt sorry for Xiaochuan. He raised the hilt of the sword in his hand and picked up the undershirt of anyone beside him!
Seeing the situation, Xiao Lang took it and rubbed it on his head, then continued.

"I am also worried about the situation at the front. I think it would be more convenient to receive reports and pass on orders in the front camp!"

"Oh! That's right!"

"I haven't even finished what I was saying yet!"

"This time, according to the intelligence reports and scout outposts, the enemy's strength and the number of troops and horses have been confirmed!"

"Far away in Beijing, the Tartar commander Dorgon issued a clear order some time ago!"

"It is said that Wang Aoyong, a traitor of the Qing Dynasty, was appointed as the envoy to pacify the people."

"The Blue Banner Commander Aixinjueluo Bahana and the White Banner Commander Shi Tingzhu are the vanguards advancing into Dezhou!"

"Bahana, Shi Tingzhu leads a total of 5,000 Yi Ding cavalry, and 5,000 vassal troops who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, a total of more than 10,000 troops!"

"The number of enemies is not too many!"

"Anyway, it's a lot less than I expected!"

"It seems that we are looked down upon by Dorgon, the ruler of the Jiannu Empire!" Xiao Wei made his plans and told the story in detail.

Upon hearing this, Hu Chen also snorted.

"damn it!"

"What a bunch of bastards! They are still using the same method they used to deal with the old imperial army!"

"Hey, we are now strong and powerful, but we are definitely different from the past, huh?!"

"Hahaha, that's good too. We can catch rabbits while raking grass. This time, we'll give him the whole package!"

"Catch them off guard!" Hu Chen also made a plan.

"Haha, that's right!"

"But, the prediction was a little off!"

"It seems that the enemy's forces are weaker, but we must not take it lightly!"

Xiao Che used some cloth to brush off the floating water on his body, then simply stopped fiddling with it. Instead, he took the wine jug handed to him by Hu Chen and took two gulps.

"Alas, Yi Ding is brave, but if our army horses bite him, he may not be easy to bite!"

"Besides, there's no guarantee that they won't send more troops!"

"That's why!"

"So this is the opportunity for a sneak attack!"

"It makes it even more valuable!" Xiao paused at the crucial point.

"Yes! The commander-in-chief is right about this aspect!" Hu Chen nodded in agreement!

"so!"

"This is a critical point, so we'd better not fight!"

"Fight! You have to seize the opportunity, take the enemy by surprise, and pounce on them fiercely!"

"After we pounce and pull him back to Pingyuan County, we can kill him halfway in no time!"

"In this way, the arrogance of the Jiannu cavalry and the situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak can be completely reversed!"

"Tiger Minister!"

"This battle can only succeed and cannot fail!"

"If this Pingyuan County ambush pocket formation fails, the effectiveness of the Linyi and Gaotang flags I deployed earlier will be greatly reduced!"

"You must understand the pros and cons of this, right?" Xiao Duo instructed.

Hearing this, Hu Chen also pondered with a serious expression and took a deep breath.

"Yeah! Got it!"

"General, just wait and see!" He replied with gritted teeth. Seeing this, Xiao Jingchuan had finished his words and did not continue!

Instead, he turned his head and looked at Yuan Ping again.

"Haha, that's fine!"

"Hey, I'm talking to Brother Yuan!"

"How about this time, you go with Hu Chen!"

"You've been practicing this morning exercise for me these past few days!"

"My arms and legs can no longer hold on!"

"Can you let me rest for a few days?!"

Xiao Lang seemed to be begging for mercy, but in fact, his words also revealed his concern for Yuan Ping and Hu Chen to gain experience in foreign battles!
Firstly, it will increase his prestige and popularity in the army.

Secondly, I am also trying to carefully test this brother in distress to see if he has the real ability to lead the troops!

Hearing this, Yuan Ping did not show it on the surface, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

I really appreciate it, but between brothers, I feel awkward and restrained and find it difficult to express my gratitude!

So he took advantage of Xiaochuan's opportunity, took out a red date from his pocket, and threw it over!
Xiao Jingchuan was caught off guard and was hit on the head by this sudden "hidden arrow". He was slightly stunned, but not annoyed.

He saw that it was a red date that had fallen. He bent over to pick it up and immediately put it in his mouth to chew!
That's it!

The three of them burst into laughter again under the leaky tarpaulin!
"Hahaha!"

"Okay! Wow!"

"That's more to my liking!"

"I couldn't ask for more! I couldn't ask for more!"

"With Brother Yuan's kung fu, one person can defeat 100,000 of his soldiers! Huh?! Hahaha."

"I think we should do this!"

"Hey, Commander!"

"Tonight, we won't have to rest!"

"It's more than a hundred miles to Texas!"

"It looks like this rain won't stop any time soon!"

"I mean, lead the troops and set off immediately!"

"Take advantage of the night and head to the southern outskirts of Texas tonight!"

"Find a good place to hide our troops and rest there!"

"Well, we should hurry up and find out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses, so that we can attack them as soon as possible!"

"Secondly, marching at night can better conceal our whereabouts!"

"It is said that the Tartar soldiers are not recruited at night. They are all elite soldiers with sharp ears and eyes!"

"It's better to be safe than sorry. Nothing will happen. We won't get into trouble with him!"

Hu Chen is so smart in discussing tactics!
Hearing this, Yuan Ping also stood up from the pile of hay.

"OK!"

"Brother Huchen, this is very thoughtful!"

"Xiaochuan, if you think there's nothing wrong with it, let's do it!" Yuan Ping also seconded the proposal.

As for Xiao Jingchuan, he should also give some advice!

"hey-hey!"

"warlord!"

"The surprise attack is scheduled for tomorrow night!"

"If the situation changes, the time may be slightly changed!"

"so!"

"After we leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to rest again!"

"Hurry up and move your troops north!"

"If we had arrived in Pingyuan County early and set up the plan, my brother Yuan and I would have been more relaxed!" Hu Chen continued.

What he said actually included clear arrangements for Xiao Jingchuan!
Xiao Wei laughed, and found that what Li Huchen said was quite pertinent, so he did not argue much and happily pretended to obey the order!
"Hahaha!"

"Yes Yes!"

"This tiger minister has an order!"

"I'll obey your command!" Xiao put on a funny look, and acted like a stagehand after hearing this!

Generals Li and Yuan, seeing Xiao Jingchuan in such a state, could no longer hold back their laughter and immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter!
