Chapter 580 2 loud noise
Three days later, the river was almost overflowing the riverbed and a dam break could happen at any time.
Thousands of large and small boats were tied to the river outside the Yan army camp.
The large boat can accommodate hundreds of people, and the small boat can accommodate about ten people.
Swaying in the wind and rain.
Late at night, a team, wearing straw raincoats, carrying torches, and driving horse-drawn carriages, quietly moved towards the south.
Soon, they passed the water viewing pavilion and arrived at the embankment outside the riverbed.
The soldiers picked up shovels and began to dig holes and build embankments.
The leader of the Shenji Camp said to the five people,
"Each of you should bring two divine thunders. Don't use torches. Just look at the fire on the lookout tower above Yulei Pass and go in that direction.
"Get to the city gate, set up the thunderbolt, ignite it, and run. Keep running north. Don't look back. Got it?"
"Understood!"
"Remember, this time, if you fail, and if we fail, then it will be our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians who will be drowned.
Either the enemy dies or we die, understand?!"
"understand!"
"go quickly!"
"Yes!"
The five people were like ghosts in the dark night, stepping on the muddy ground and running quickly to the south.
……
Yulei Pass, the general's residence.
Sun Tai, the new commander of the Qin Army's Northern Army, sat in the brightly lit lobby, drinking fine wine, holding a beauty in his arms, and a group of dancers were dancing in front of him.
It seems that this is not the murderous front line, but the extravagant and decadent city of Xianyang.
Deputy Commander Huan Qi and many generals also sat on both sides drinking.
Just a little depressed expression.
Although they were very happy drinking and having fun, they did not forget that they were soldiers. The enemy was lurking thirty miles to the north. They heard that the war in the east had already started and the Yan army had begun to attack. On their side, who knew when the Yan army would move south.
However, Sun Tai was still drinking and having fun here. He did not think of any strategy to defeat the enemy, but only indulged in wine and sex. He simply did not take the enemy army seriously.
Compared with Marshal Bai, they are just like bugs, snakes and rats.
Just when Huan Qi was feeling depressed, Sun Tai suddenly raised his glass and said,
"Hey, Vice Marshal Huan, come and have a drink."
Hearing this, Huan Qi could only helplessly raise his glass, salute Sun Tai from afar, and drink it all in one gulp.
Although Sun Tai was incompetent and stupid, and became the commander-in-chief by relying on his hereditary title, he had one advantage, which was his good temper.
He likes to enjoy himself, is always smiling, and gets along well with the generals under him.
He paid for everyone to watch dances and drink, and never cared about the people below him or asked about military affairs. He let his subordinates do whatever they wanted and he never made things difficult for them.
Having such a leader is both a good thing and a bad thing.
All in all, everyone had a pretty relaxing time during this period.
Sun Tai said with a smile,
"What is Deputy Marshal Huan thinking about? He has a sullen face and looks unhappy. We are drinking and watching dances, which should be a happy thing."
Huan Qi knew Sun Tai's good temper, so he spoke without hesitation and said,
"General, the autumn harvest is over, and the war in the east has already begun. I am worried that Guan Shouchang in the north will lead the Yan army to attack us.
We still need to step up our precautions.”
Sun Tai laughed, pointed outside and said,
"Look at this continuous heavy rain, the roads outside are muddy and difficult to walk on.
The Yan people's artillery had to be ignited with fire before it could be fired. In this kind of weather, their artillery would become scrap metal.
How can they fight if they can't even walk on the road? Even if it's a straw raincoat, I don't believe that every soldier in the army can afford one.
Don't worry, it's just groundless worry.
They want to beat us, but I want to beat them too.
The emperor has ordered us to take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy, but we can't fight in this kind of weather.
I have already submitted a memorial to the emperor. If any problems arise, I will take care of them.
Come on, let’s drink together.”
Sun Tai smiled like a Maitreya Buddha.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank with him.
At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the north.
"What's going on? What happened?"
"The enemy is coming?"
Everyone was horrified. Huan Qi immediately stood up and clasped his hands towards Sun Tai, saying,
"General, I request that you quickly mobilize troops to defend. With such a big commotion, it could be the Yan army attacking."
Sun Tai disagreed and said,
"Oh, it could be thunder. Don't worry. Why don't you go and take a look first? Don't mobilize a large force just because of a little noise."
Just as he finished speaking, another deafening roar came from the north.
This made Sun Tai feel unsure and he said,
"Go and have a look. If the enemy really is coming, defend it quickly and send someone to tell them."
"As ordered!"
Huan Qi immediately called a few generals and asked them to go out with him.
They put on straw raincoats, quickly came to the general's mansion, and rode their horses to the north.
Inside the military camp, many soldiers stuck their heads out, not knowing what was going on.
I don’t know if it was thunder or the enemy was attacking the city.
When he was halfway through the run, he met a soldier on horseback who was reporting military intelligence. Huan Qi hurriedly stopped him and asked what had happened.
The soldier said quickly,
"Deputy Commander, our three northern city gates have all been damaged and shattered. Kennedy didn't do it because of thunder, it was the Yan army that did it."
"How many enemies are there?"
Huan Qi asked immediately.
"nobody."
"What? No one?"
Huan Qi was furious and shouted loudly,
"The Yan army didn't come, so who blew up the city gate? Did you do it yourself?"
"I dare not. I really didn't see anyone. There is no one outside."
"Is it too dark to see clearly?"
"I don't know, but if the enemy were attacking the city, there would be shouts and cries of war, but there's no movement outside."
Huan Qi was now undecided and immediately said,
"Go report to the commander-in-chief. Everyone else, follow me to the city wall!"
"As ordered!"
Soon, Huan Qi arrived at the city gate and looked at the damaged gate. He then looked outside and found that there was indeed no one there.
He was a little skeptical, so he dismounted, quickly climbed up the city wall, stood at the foot of the gate tower, and looked towards the north.
In the pitch-black night, there was no light and no movement.
He grabbed a soldier and asked loudly,
"What happened, what did you see?"
The soldier said quickly,
"Deputy Commander, I first heard a loud noise under my feet, which made my feet numb. Then I heard footsteps outside. It was pitch dark and I couldn't see anything, so I fired a few arrows outside, but I didn't hit anyone.
Then I heard a loud bang far to the north, and then nothing happened."
"There were another loud noise from the north? Two loud noises? What does that mean? What's that to the north?"
Huan Qi was puzzled.
