Luo Tong was somewhat moved after hearing the battle plan, and asked for confirmation: "You mean to use a few hundred men to lure away more than a thousand enemies? What if the enemy concentrates their forces to pursue one of the routes?"
"That's better. The one who is being chased should run away with the enemy, while the remaining people turn back and attack the pursuers from behind. Once they divide their forces and chase them, just run away."
"That makes sense. Either we don't pursue them, or we pursue them all. After all, they have twice as many troops." Luo Tong agreed.
Li Yixie was proficient in mathematics and immediately calculated the strength comparison and reminded: "There are five battalions in a regiment. If two battalions run towards the mountain ridge, it means that ten teams can be divided. Once the enemy pursues more than a thousand people, it means that each
The team is facing more than a hundred people, so it may be possible to fight on foot, but the Turks are better at fighting on horseback, so there is little chance of winning."
"That's right, so we can only run, destroy the enemy in motion, or draw the enemy away. Don't forget that we use military-standard bows and arrows, which have a longer range than the Turks. We have a chance." Qin Huaidao agreed.
Luo Tong raised another doubt: "The enemy is not stupid. Once he finds something wrong, he will return. What will happen then?"
"Simple, counterattack. In one sentence, if the enemy chases us, we will run. If the enemy retreats, we will chase, and we will cling to these more than a thousand people." Qin Huaidao said solemnly, pointing to the bend of the river on the map again, and looking at Luo Ying: "
You lead a special force to ambush in the reeds in advance, and when the enemy is chasing from the other side, shoot them with crossbows and kill them. A thousand men ambush more than a thousand pursuers. It is not difficult to be prepared for the battle or not, isn't it? "
"It's not difficult, but it's a bit difficult to annihilate them all. The pursuers are galloping on horseback. If the speed is too fast, some will rush over." Luo Ying pointed out the problem in the plan.
Qin Huaidao smiled happily: "Yes, we have seen the crux of the problem. What if we used iron wire as a tripping rope in advance? We brought a lot of iron wire, the iron wire is small, and the water and grass in this area are lush, and it is night, so it is not easy to hide the iron wire in the grass.
We found that higher density and irregular distribution can have unexpected effects."
"That's no problem, but our people in front will trip and fall." Luo Ying reminded.
Luo Tong slapped Luo Ying on the head and cursed: "You are so stupid, you won't leave a narrow passage and arrange for someone to sneak out to lead the way? We are in front, and the pursuers can't see someone coming out.
More than 500 people lined up in two or three lines and passed quickly. The pursuers, who were more than 1,000 people, were eager to catch up. They would definitely break up and chase, otherwise they would be attacked."
"Yes." Luo Ying suddenly realized.
Luo Tong looked at Qin Huaidao and continued: "When the time comes, we will fight back and assist in the battle. It will be easy to capture more than a thousand enemies, but what will happen after we capture them?"
Qin Huaidao said with a confident smile: "After taking it, you quickly went to the mountain ridge to support and captured the other pursuers. The special battle group went straight to the begging department. When the enemy saw someone coming to kill them, they knew they had been tricked into pulling the tiger away from the mountain.
The plan must be cautious, but it has to come out to fight. I asked the soldier that there is a fence more than three feet high outside the tribe, and in front of the fence is a trench. Only the gate can move smoothly, so the possibility of the enemy gathering at the gate is very high.
Once the people are concentrated, they will be a living target. Our army will also concentrate its forces and rush in. Using crossbows to clear the way, we will surely capture it."
"We have one thousand people, and the enemy has more than two thousand. It is a home battle, and three thousand people are possible. Can we win?" Luo Tong raised his concerns.
"Uncle, there is no need to worry." Luo Ying said confidently, absolutely sure of the soldiers he had trained.
Seeing Qin Huaidao's face full of determination and trust, Luo Tong said nothing.
"What about me?" Li Yixie asked.
"You stay to guard the tribe and stabilize the rear. You can't lose it here."
"Okay." Li Yixie reluctantly agreed.
"Let's all prepare to go." Qin Huaidao waved his hand and looked at the map again. Although there were more than 4,000 people around him, there were only more than 2,000 people who could fight. The begging department that attacked the 5,000 soldiers was a little stretched, but he had no choice.
If we don't fight, it won't be enough to attract Xue Rengui and expand our troops to rescue people.
The three of them said goodbye and left, ready to go.
Qin Huaidao looked at Zhao Long: "Go and pick some good horses to ride with me and go into battle with me."
"Obey the order!" Zhao Long was very excited when he heard that there was going to be a battle.
The night is getting darker, and the cool breeze is blowing.
The bright moon hung high in the deep sky, casting endless light over the vast grassland, and the earth was covered in gray.
Unknowingly, at Haishi, the army quietly left while the tribesmen were sleeping, so as to prevent the Turkic captives from finding out about trouble later. Two slaves who were familiar with the terrain led the way.
All the way east, they quietly traveled about ten miles. The team divided up. Luo Ying led the special team to continue to ambush. Qin Huaidao followed Luo to the west and detoured, and the scouts cleared the way. Perhaps the news was not leaked, and the people begging for tribesmen were not there.
Not knowing the danger was approaching, no sentries were found along the way.
The team successfully detoured to the mountain ridge. There was a gentle slope going down from the mountain ridge, which was conducive to the charge of the war horses. After rushing down the hillside, there was a flat grassland, which was more than 20 feet wide. With this width, the war horses could rush across it quickly, and there was no big problem.
Qin Huaidao's eyes fell on the begging tribe. It was already late at night and the tribe was quiet. There were a few torches lit in a few places, and then someone was vaguely patrolling under the light of the torches.
After observing for a moment, Qin Huaidao asked: "Brother Luo, where do you think is the best way to attack?"
"The tribe is not small, but as you said before, there are trenches and fences dug around the outside. It is not easy to get in. The best way is to go through the gate. It is fast and the horses will not be injured. I will take the lead and guarantee that I will enter the center of the tribe in one go.
Go, if you agree, I can kill both of them." Luo Tong looked proud.
Qin Huaidao did not doubt the bravery of this guy at all, but he did not like this life-threatening fighting method. He observed the tribe in front for a moment, pointed to a location and said: "There...the location next to the river is a bit special. There are more than a dozen large yurts.
, keep a distance from other yurts, and there is an open area in the middle, which should be the location of the tribal leader."
"It seems so, but it's a bit far from the gate." Luo Tong also looked over.
"You can go left from the mountain ridge to reach the gate, but you only need to go a little further to the right and you can rush directly. Nothing can anger your opponent more than rushing to kill the tribe leader, Zhao Long." Qin Huaidao shouted.
Zhao Long quickly stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Young Master!"
"Take the Guards Battalion and go down with me, destroy the fences, fill the trenches, and pave the way for the army to attack. After the completion of the task, the torch will be circled three times as a signal. When our army rushes down, the enemy will definitely notice it and warn you. You lead the people
Infiltrate into the tribe, disperse and hide, kill those who try to warn, and delay exposure."
"Understood, I promise to complete the mission." Zhao Long promised, and with a wave of his hand, the people in the Guards Battalion dismounted one after another, walked down with their weapons, and walked quickly along the hillside.
"Can they do it?" Luo Tong asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, they have received relevant training and know what to do."
"That's good!" Luo Tong was still doubtful, but he didn't ask any more questions to avoid shaking the morale of the army.
Zhao Long led the guard battalion to quickly touch up, walking and stopping, with alert and cold eyes, like a pack of wild wolves foraging for food in the night, and unknowingly arrived at the outskirts of the tribe.
Everyone lurked and watched carefully ahead.
The wooden fence is made of thick wood, tied into a horse-like shape. If it were to hit head-on, I don't know how many horses would be lost. The trench in front of the wooden fence is also very deep. If the horse falls, don't think about getting up.
Zhao Long gestured to everyone to stay still. He climbed up and took a closer look. He found that the wood was made of wood and was enough to lie across the trench. He immediately had an idea and gestured to the back. Several team captains came over and everyone lay down side by side.
Move and look at Zhao Long.
Zhao Long issued an order in sign language, asking a group of people to go in first to ambush and silently deal with those who approached, while the others stayed behind to dismantle the wooden fence and build a wooden bridge.
Orders were passed down many times. A group of people jumped over the trench, let go of the wooden fence and moved forward. The remaining people came to the wooden fence, took out their swords and cut off the tied vines, ropes and some cloth strips, and dismantled the wooden fence.
Choose thick logs and lay them across the ditch to serve as a bridge.
Not long after, a 20-meter-wide bridge was built. Zhao Long tested the strength and felt that the horses could pass through it. He quickly made a torch, lit it, made three circles in the air, and threw the torch into the ditch.
There were abandoned ropes and strips of cloth in the trench. They were very dry and could be ignited at a moment's notice. They could form a bonfire to guide the army. At the same time, they were in the trench and were not easily discovered by the tribesmen.
Afterwards, Zhao Long made a gesture, and everyone quickly sneaked into the tribe and hid in the dark, silently.
On the mountain ridge in the distance.
When Qin Huaidao saw the signal, he was calm and said in a deep voice: "Brother Luo, go straight to the yurt where the tribal leader is. It's best if you can fight in. If you don't go against it, rush to the gate and evacuate quickly. Arrange a battalion of people to set fire to create chaos."
, creating the illusion that beheading is unsuccessful and unwilling to evacuate, it will definitely confuse the enemy to pursue him."
"Understood." Luo Tong said solemnly and looked at the deputy leader.
The deputy leader Lin Ping was a real horse bandit. He was the best at killing people and arson. He was later recruited by Qu Zhiyi. He had high personal force and a wild command, but he had good talent. He was very famous in the Xizhou area. If he were not poor,
If you really can't survive, you won't vote for Qu Zhiyi.
Seeing Luo Tong looking over, Lin Ping said knowingly: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Luo Tong nodded and looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao picked up the horse and pointed forward murderously: "Attack——"
