The best ring

At this time, outside Yangyuguan City.

Tens of thousands of "Nanping Kingdom soldiers" were gathered together in twos and threes, standing with relaxed expressions. Some of them were even chatting happily with the people next to them, without looking nervous at all.

"Stand still for me!"

"Be serious, be serious!"

"You, what about you! You are here to fight, not for an outing. Who told you to sit down? Get up!"

"Where's the flag? Put it up for me and raise it higher so that everyone on the top of the city can see it!"

...

A rough and wild voice kept ringing among the crowd. However, the effect it had was extremely limited. Seeing that everyone did not listen to his orders, the big man who shouted was so angry that his face turned red.

"Okay, Lao Liu, don't waste your efforts. Come and have a rest. It's not like you don't know who these people are. What's the use of talking so much? Can they listen? Don't waste your efforts." A school principal A man dressed as a lieutenant came over and said.

"I'm so angry. It's a good thing they are not my soldiers, otherwise, I would have to kill them!" General Liu came over angrily and said.

The captain who spoke before handed over a wine bottle and said with a smile: "Here, take a few sips to calm down. Don't be like those bastards."

When the general surnamed Liu saw the jug, his eyes lit up, he took it over and smelled it, and his face was immediately intoxicated. Then, he took a big sip without hesitation, closed his eyes and said loudly: "Comfortable!"

The captain took back the jug from General Liu and said with a smile, "Are you feeling better now?"

After saying that, he raised his head and took a big sip.

"With wine to drink, my mood will naturally be much better." General Liu said with a smile: "But why did you bring this thing here? Aren't you afraid that the general will find out and scold you?"

Drinking is not allowed during the march and fighting. This is a rule in the army. It is good to drink, but it is obvious that my colleague has violated the rules in the army. If Zhao Guangzhi finds out, a scolding will be inevitable. If Zhao Guangzhi is in a bad mood, his colleague will be punished.

"What are you afraid of? Are you going to complain?"

General Liu shook his head.

How could he possibly file a complaint and seek scolding himself when he drank too?

"It's over now." The captain laughed, and then there was a look of displeasure on his face: "Others are eating a lot of meat and fish in the pass, and drinking good wine, but we two are unlucky. , was sent to lead this group of idiots to act. If the Shuiyue Kingdom’s army doesn’t leave, we can’t enter the pass and live a hard life outside the pass. I feel bad when I think about it. If I don’t secretly bring some wine out to drink, I will be angry. die."

General Liu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I don't know why the general called us two here. It's really unlucky."

The two of them were drinking and talking angrily.

It's no wonder that the two of them were in a bad mood. The other colleagues were eating and drinking in Yangyu Pass with the people from Shuiyue Kingdom, and they were still able to fall asleep in bed at night. But what about the two of them? They had to lead a group of people to act outside the customs, and the food was poor and the accommodation was even worse. In contrast, the two of them naturally felt quite uncomfortable.

And those who were brought out of Yangyuguan by the two of them were not their former subordinates, but some soldiers, reserve teams, and even a large number of ordinary people in the city. One can imagine the military quality of these people. They couldn't even stand in a basic formation, and they were so loose that they looked like deserters who had snuck down from the battlefield.

Not only did he have poor food, drink and housing, but he also had to work hard to manage these people who had little military literacy. It was not surprising that the two of them felt irritated.

Just as the two of them were talking about their unhappiness, Liu was suddenly startled, and the hand holding the wine bottle stopped in mid-air.

"What's wrong with you?" The captain next to him asked casually while taking the wine bottle from the opponent's hand.

"Look there! Someone is shouting flags at the top of the city!" General Liu pointed in a certain direction at the top of the city and said to the captain next to him.

semaphore?

The captain was just about to drink when he heard the words of the general surnamed Liu. He was also stunned and subconsciously looked in the direction he was pointing.

Someone is actually making semaphores!

The two of them looked at the city head at the same time. Sure enough, somewhere at the city head, there was a messenger waving his hands and signaling a flag.

Both of them were guarding generals in the Yangyuguan Army. Naturally, they were familiar with the flag language in this army. After reading it for a while, they understood the meaning conveyed by the flag language.

"General, what do you mean? Let us 'attack'? Where to attack? Yangyuguan?" The captain stared at the flag and said blankly.

The meaning conveyed by the flag language is very simple, that is: launch an attack.

This kind of flag language that conveys attack and retreat is the most common on the battlefield. Even recruits who have just joined the army can understand its meaning. Naturally, these two generals who have been in the army for many years will not understand it. No.

However, they are not on the battlefield now, they are just acting. Zhao Guangzhi asked them to attack, who should they attack? In what direction?

"Do you think this flag language is wrong?" General Liu said.

"Probably not." The captain next to him shook his head and said: "There are only our people and people from the Shuiyue Kingdom in the pass. The flag language used by the Shuiyue Kingdom's army is different from ours. I have seen it before. , Therefore, the person who is raising the flag must be one of our people, and the direction in which the messenger is raising the flag is right here. Obviously, this is to show us. "

"So, is it really the general who wants us to attack?" General Liu said.

The captain next to him didn't say anything, but nodded heavily.

There was no other possibility. This flag signal must have been ordered by Zhao Guangzhi, and it must have been for them to see.

The flag signal was easy to understand, but what about next? Where to attack? Who to attack?

The two men had a headache, frowned and began to think. After a while, they stopped almost at the same time and looked at each other.

"Attack Yangyu Pass!"

The two said almost in unison.

Then, the two frowned even deeper.

Obviously, if they were asked to launch an attack at this time, the target of the attack should only be Yangyu Pass. After all, there was no other target to attack here, and their current identity was the army of Nanping State. It was completely reasonable to attack Yangyu Pass in this capacity.

However, in the discussion before departure, there was no opportunity to attack Yangyu Pass. Why did Zhao Guangzhi suddenly add such an "exercise" content?

"Could it be that the people of Shuiyue Country are not so easy to deceive, and the general can't fool them anymore, so we have to go deeper into the play?" General Liu guessed.

"It's very likely." The captain next to him nodded and said, "I have said it before, the people of Shuiyue Country are not fools, especially the one leading the team is their second prince, a man who has lived in the army for many years, it is not easy to deceive them, now it's good, the people of Shuiyue Country are indeed suspicious."

"Yes, everyone thought it was dangerous to continue the play, but the general insisted on continuing." General Liu also complained.
