Empire

Chapter 10

"If you have anything to say, just say it."

Leader Chen Ru did not expect Chen Ziang to speak at this time, but he still wanted to hear what Chen Ziang, who had the talent of killing generals and seizing flags, wanted to say.

The other leaders saw that Chen Ziang, a general of a thousand men, stood up and said something shamelessly. They showed sarcasm on their faces, drank and shrugged, and looked like watching a show.

After all, Chen Ziang killed the general and seized the flag in the daytime, which could be said to have stolen their limelight. They still had some opinions about Chen Ziang in their hearts.

"Thank you, Chief."

Chen Ziang bowed to the chief, Chen Ru, and then he cleared his throat and prepared to express his opinion.

"I am a humble official with limited knowledge. The future direction of our rebel army will be decided by the leaders. I will not teach you how to do this. Chen Ziang coughed twice, breaking the silence in the tent.

"What do you want to say?"

After hearing this, the black-faced leader couldn't help but frowned.

"What I want to say is that in the daytime battle, our rebel army killed the Dynasty army and left them in disarray. Now their morale is low and their military spirit is scattered. I think we should not discuss the direction of our march, but rather take advantage of the victory to destroy the Dynasty army that is fighting against us in one fell swoop."Chen Ziang said loudly.

"The Dynasty army has suffered heavy losses and is now hiding in the camp and dares not come out. Let's rest for one night. When we attack tomorrow, we will surely be able to wipe them out in one fell swoop."The black-faced leader said

"What if they escape at night? Wouldn't that be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

"What if the dynasty’s reinforcements arrive overnight, won’t there be another bloody battle tomorrow?"

"Besides, even if they didn't flee, there would be no reinforcements. The dynasty army would defend the camp, and our rebel army would attack. How many brothers would be killed?"

Chen Ziang asked several questions without changing his expression, leaving the black-faced leader speechless.

"Ziang, what do you mean?" Chen Ru cast his eyes on Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang answered loudly:"We should launch a surprise attack at night and wipe out the remnants of the dynasty army in one fell swoop, and then we can celebrate our success."

"It's easy to say. Our army suffered heavy losses during the day and is now exhausted. How can we launch a night attack?"The black-faced leader snorted coldly, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"It was precisely because the dynasty army felt that our army was exhausted that they did not expect that our army would fight continuously all night long. Being exhausted, they would also relax their vigilance, so a surprise attack at night would be just the right opportunity to catch them off guard."Chen Ziang argued with reason.

After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Chen Ru couldn't help but look up to Chen Ziang.

Just now, he wanted Chen Ziang to be under his command. Originally, he just thought that Chen Ziang could kill generals and seize flags, and was a young officer worthy of training.

But after hearing what Chen Ziang said, Chen Ru suddenly felt that he had picked up a treasure, because Chen Ziang was not only brave in the battlefield, but also had strategic talent.

You must know that although their rebel army is large in number, most of them are civilians who can't read a single word, let alone have strategy.

And what Chen Ziang said makes sense. Now the rebel army has an absolute advantage, so they can rest as much as they want and wait until dawn to launch an attack.

But if it is a night attack, the dynasty army will never think that the rebel army with an absolute advantage in manpower will not rest for a night, but will carry out a night attack overnight.

Generally, only the party with a disadvantage in strength will come up with the means of night attack, but Chen Ziang actually did the opposite.

After Chen Ziang finished speaking, he stood aside and stopped talking, because he had to give these leaders some time to think

"I think what Ziang said makes sense. If we can overcome our fatigue and attack the Dynasty army camp overnight, we might be able to catch them off guard."

Leader Chen Ru was the first to express his support for Chen Ziang, who had just been recruited by him.

"But our army is exhausted and has suffered many casualties. There are not many soldiers left who can fight. If something goes wrong during the night raid, wouldn’t we lose many soldiers and make the victory during the day go to waste?" said the burly leader Zhang Dayuan with a worried look on his face.

"If the attack doesn't go well, we can just retreat back." Chen Ru said with a smile

"Well, we can give it a try." Zhang Dayuan thought about it and agreed reluctantly.

"If you want to go, go ahead. I won't accompany you anymore. Goodbye."

The black-faced leader left without saying anything, which made everyone feel quite embarrassed.

Chen Ziang was also very surprised to see the black-faced leader leave directly. At the same time, he also felt that the internal harmony of the rebel army did not seem to be so harmonious.

Fortunately, another big leader Zhang Dayuan agreed to the night attack, and the other small leaders had no objection, so the night attack was finally decided.

Because of the preparation for the night attack, the banquet was directly dispersed. After a simple plan was made, everyone went back to select soldiers who could fight and prepare for action.

Chen Ziang also left the central army tent and returned to their team of 100 people. The more than 20 surviving brothers were eating and drinking, and it was very lively.

""Brother Chen, no, General Chen, congratulations."

Seeing Chen Ziang coming back, Wang Hu and the others all stood up in unison, with envy on their faces, and came forward to congratulate Chen Ziang on his promotion to General of a Thousand.

Because Wang Hu and the others had just learned that the leader had directly promoted Chen Ziang to General of a Thousand.

""Thank you for being polite, brothers. Without your help, I, Chen Ziang, would not be where I am today. So we should share the difficulties and happiness in the future."

Chen Ziang patted the shoulder of Wang Hu, the general of a hundred men, and said to everyone.

When everyone heard this, they all smiled. After all, being able to follow a general of a thousand men would make them have a stronger backer. At least when fighting on the battlefield, they would not be the first to rush forward and be cannon fodder.

""Has everyone finished eating?"

Seeing the messy scene, Chen Ziang asked with a smile.

"I've eaten!"

"We are all blessed with good food and good drinks." Wang Hu said with a grin

"Brother Wang, what are you talking about? This is what the brothers deserve. The leader has already said that everyone will have a reward and it will be distributed soon."

"The leader has just decided to raid the Dynasty Army camp at night. Brothers, are there any of you willing to go with me?"After a few pleasantries, Chen Ziang asked.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and then they looked embarrassed, because they had fought a bloody day and were really exhausted. Now they had to fight again, and they were a little reluctant.

Because their physical strength was consumed during the day, although they had eaten wine and meat and rested for a while, they only recovered less than 50%.

Going to the battlefield in this state to fight, it can be said that the chance of survival is much lower than usual.

"Brother Chen, you just said that we should share the good times and the bad times. We will all go with you!"Wang Hu, the general of the hundred, was the first to speak.

"Yes, I'll go chop off a few more heads and use them as chamber pots!"

"Hahaha, I was just worried about having no place to vent my anger after eating, so I went to practice with Dynasty's dog bastards."
