At dusk, the 20,000 infantry soldiers behind also arrived at the camp.

If these infantry had not been running for running training for a while, they would have been unable to run nearly 100 kilometers in one day, let alone run sixty kilometers in a few hours.

And with the efforts of the baggage troops who were carried by a carriage and did not consume much physical strength, the size and facilities of the barracks immediately changed drastically compared to the past.

The military camp was built, and the breathless soldiers immediately entered the tent to rest.

In the main business, Cons summoned all the chief and deputy team leaders and cavalry corps captains to discuss the night attack plan.

Carlo, who was a part-time staff officer, stood up and informed the enemy situation first: "The scout report shows that the bandit army formed an encirclement in this area of ​​hundreds of miles, and the great priest and his party were surrounded in the center.

"Now the great priest has camped and rested, it can be concluded that the great priests and the others have not discovered the situation of the bandits for the time being. The place where the bandits ambushed in front of the great priest is the grassland, and there is no place for the bandits to hide. I believe that the great priests will discover the enemy situation soon after they set out on the road the next day.

"A great priest with only one thousand cavalry will definitely retreat to Kaiyi City. This is why the bandits in front of us will be freely arranged to surround the encirclement rather than rushing to catch up.

"Our mission is to destroy or defeat the bandit army in front of us before the great priest retreats!"

Carlo pointed and pointed on a map: "We ignore the bandits in front of the Great God Palace for the time being, let's take a look at the bandits in front of us. The bandits in this band are about 40,000 to 50,000. From here to here, two layers of formations are arranged, one layer to the inside and the other layer to the outside."

When Isna was teaching Cons' strategy, she followed Alice's instructions and copied a large number of maps for Cons. One was to let Cons practice his ability to see pictures, and the other was to make Cons' troops easy for combat.

The officers who had never seen a map were confused, but they were still listening attentively. You must know that this is a division-level meeting, and it would be great to be able to participate in it. How dare you say that you don’t understand?

They were in awe when they saw the map. You should know that in Qihong Kingdom, only the main division was equipped with maps. Looking at the stack of maps brought by Lord Cons's personal soldiers, you will know what the real status of Lord Cons's unit is.

Thinking of this, they couldn't help but be glad that they were transferred to this unit. They used to feel that their cavalry corps were wronged by an infantry brigade, and they had long known where to fly.

"The bandits outside, that is, facing ours, had estimated before dark that there should be more than 30,000 people. Although there are many people, the defense network is scattered in such a long area, and it is conceivable that the density is very thin.

"And the latest information shows that they also started camping and burying the pot to cook. It can be said that they did not notice our existence at all, so the success rate of our night attack was very high." Carlo said this and signaled to Cons.

Cons knew that it was time to speak, so he glanced at everyone as Carlo told him, and then said, "What do you have any opinions? Before the resolution is formed, please raise them."

Originally, Carlo asked Cons to issue an order, but Cons, the highest commander who came from the grassroots level, understood that many times the plans formulated above were inappropriate.

Sometimes, even a little more flexible below can change the situation, but unfortunately, the rigid execution of orders will lead to failure, so Cons requires the people who perform tasks to participate in decision-making.

Carlo disagreed with this. Bi Jing had some mortal tasks that required their subordinates to carry out uninformedly, so that they could only participate if they knew the details.

However, the task now is not like this kind of sacrifice, so Carlo was too lazy to argue and followed Cons's intentions.

The first time the Cavalry Regiment captains participated in such a decision-making meeting, they were a little afraid to say anything, but the old subordinates who were familiar with Cons' personality were different.

The first person to speak out was the team leader James: "Sir, I think the night attack is inappropriate. You should know that it is a mountainous area and it is pitch black. It is easy for both sides to be unable to distinguish their enemies and friends when they fight. If they fight on their own, the battle will definitely last until dawn."

"Yes, sir, my subordinates think so. After all, we don't rely on flags to identify identities." Gner, Mado and the others said immediately.

Relying on the flag is an item that identifies an identity on the battlefield, usually with the legion number or the family badge pattern of the head of the leader. Such things mainly appear in the light infantry of various countries.

The high-ranking officials and nobles believed that equiping cannon fodder corps such as light infantry to uniform uniforms and equipment is not only expensive, but also very unworthy. However, they also have to distinguish between enemies and us from the easy command, so they created a simple product like a cloth and a bamboo.

When Cons's troops were formed, they were just brigades. Although the military headquarters was the first brigade of the First Division, there was no legion command, and the second was that the brigades's unit that started with Cons had unified uniforms and equipment, so they were exempted from relying on flags.

The battles along the way were almost all day long, and there were few people, so we could see the enemy at a glance, and no one noticed this.

After setting up a city, he never went to war at all, so no one paid attention to the inconspicuous thing like the flag.

Hearing these words, Cons, Carlo, and Ida suddenly remembered that the troops of more than 40,000 people now do not have a unified uniform.

Although flags were made for each corps, except for the thousands who started their military uniforms, the other clothes were all civilian clothes.

"Sir, this is my subordinate's fault. Please punish me." Carlo and Ida, two people in charge of military affairs, knelt down to apologize to Cons in a cold sweat.

Carlo looked ashamed. This matter seemed nothing, but during the night attack, it would definitely cause a situation of killing each other. If the adults had not strongly asked for the following opinions and carried out the night attack according to their own ideas, the situation of the war would probably be very bad, and he would be to blame.

Ida looked self-blame and thought he was the logistics manager, but he didn't even handle such basic things well. He really felt guilty about the important task of the adults.

"Get up, it's not your fault. Even I, the chief officer, didn't notice this." Cons sighed.

When James saw his words, he asked the two big heads to kneel down and apologize, and he felt a little embarrassed: "Two sirs, this is not just your responsibility. After all, we team leaders have not noticed this problem either."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that his team leader was the largest officer besides Lord Cons, and he was really responsible for this matter. He couldn't help but hurriedly kneeled down to apologize.

After James said what he had just said, the other chief and deputy team leaders knelt down and apologized, which made the team leader not sure whether to kneel down or continue standing? His expression was very awkward.

"Okay, everyone gets up. This matter is everyone's responsibility. If anyone is not investigated, it's too late to create a flag now. And I think it's very inconvenient to fight in the mountains and forests with a flag on his back. Let's continue the meeting." Cons comforted everyone and said helplessly. He was really not used to being kneeling by so many people.

Everyone felt a little better when they heard Cons' words.

After everyone sat down again, Cons continued, "I think we'll just be simpler and wrap our arms around with white cloth strips to distinguish between enemies and me?" Cons remembered that when the Imperial Guards rebelled, he wrapped his white cloth strips on his arms, so he proposed this.

James said first: "It's good to have this method, but in the dark, especially in the mountains where there are woods, it's really hard to tell whether there are strips on your arms."

Cons thought it was really difficult, so he spoke out: "Since that's the case, then we will cancel the night attack and send a large number of scouts to monitor the bandits." He could not tolerate the execution of the night attacks, even though he knew that the night attack would cause a situation of killing each other.

"Sir, wait." St., who had always been silent, spoke out.

"You have a way?" Cons and others looked at Ster with eager expressions.

They all knew that tonight's night attack was really important, and maybe the decision to win or lose was here. When the attack was dawn, even if the bandits were idiots, they could find that the army appeared in advance. With preparation, the effect would definitely be much worse than the night attack.

"A famous local soldier once told me that there is a kind of grass juice nearby that can emit fluorescent light at night. My subordinates thought that this might solve the problem of our discerning enemy at night." Ste said slowly.

Upon hearing this, James and others immediately jumped up happily, and Cons clapped his palms even more: "Damn it! Why did I forget the existence of the fluorescent grass!"

"Sir, do you know?" St. looked at Cons in a little surprised. He didn't expect that this semi-illiterate lord would understand these strange things. He felt a little disappointed when he asked himself about his knowledge.

Of course, these are psychological activities, and Stir is still calm on the surface.

"I have wandered in many places, so I know the existence of this grass, and there are a few plants behind the camp." Cons said, hurriedly running out of the tent. Before the others could react, Cons had already returned with a few grasses.

"Ida, let everyone find this kind of grass, the more the better." Cons handed the grass to Ida and ordered.

"Yes!" Ida took Qingcao and ran out with a few personal soldiers. He decided to complete the task in the shortest time so that he could make the best.

"After the problem is solved, hundreds of fluorescent grasses are enough to make thousands of people mark it."

Cons did not want everyone to make a mark. After all, there were only a few thousand people rushing towards the bandit army at the first time. The troops behind were approaching collectively. The attacked enemies either stepped forward to attack or turned around and ran away. If they could not distinguish the enemy from each other in this way, they should have hit them and killed them.

"Let's pick five team leaders' direct troops to conduct a night attack, right?" Carlo suggested, and this sentence was recognized by everyone.
