Chu Qing discussed with everyone for half the night, and finally set his evil eyes on the Dongtu tribe.
The Dongtu tribe is not a noble tribe, but it is very large. If the Peregrine tribe is the gateway that must pass deep into the prairie, then the Dongtu tribe is the first real line of defense for Liangrong in the true sense.
If the Golden Wolf King gathers his forces to attack Chang, then the Dongtu Department will be the closest supply point for the Liang army to the Chang Dynasty.
The small tribes on the grassland can be roughly divided into two situations. One is like the aquatic pasture, where they are a piece of loose sand. They pay protection fees to the elder brother and let him protect them.
There is another kind of people who do not stick together and live alone in poverty. Either they live in poverty forever, or they are eventually annexed by a large tribe.
The Dongtu Department has been able to grow and develop by annexing small tribes to increase its population and scale.
The Dongtu Department is good at raising horses, and they have about 50,000 war horses alone. The number of war horses that can actually be ridden into battle is similar to that of the Peregrine Department, with more than 20,000 and less than 30,000 young rangers.
According to Sheng Zhaojun's idea, if the Dongtu tribe sends troops, it will gather around 15,000 to 20,000 people to wipe out the wolf-catching army, occupy the Shuicao tribe, and make the Shuicao tribe an outpost supply point for Liang Rong's upcoming attack on Chang.
Chu Qing thought too much, even if the Dongtu tribe came with 20,000 people and laid an ambush, it wouldn't be a big problem.
There are two entrances to the water and grass pasture, one is on the east side and the other is on the southwest side. The Dongtu Department will definitely come from the southwest side. The terrain on the southwest side is low, with many low hills and slopes. As long as you ambush the people in advance and use the divine arm
The crossbow can fire at least five to six times. Three thousand divine arm crossbows and five or six volleys can wipe out at least one-third of the Dongtu Department's troops. They can attack from the flanks, block the retreat from the rear, and surround them on all sides.
If anything goes wrong, this battle is a sure win, and the damage should not be too great. After wiping out the Dongtu tribe's troops, the wolf-catching army led the Shencao tribe directly to attack the Dongtu tribe's base camp, destroying the entrenched pastures and horse farms.
Once the Dongtu tribe is destroyed, the Golden Wolf King's camp will need to change its plan, from gathering troops to attack Chang to a battle for the Dongtu tribe's pasture. This can also greatly delay the Liang people's attack on Chang. The Chang people
Here, it is equivalent to temporarily lengthening the depth.
They were all experts. After Chu Qing proposed this plan, everyone felt it was feasible and added some details. Next, they had to convince Zaza and his son.
Chu Qing handed the matter over to Sheng Zhaojun, and returned to his tent to prepare for sleep.
As soon as he returned, the spirit wolf came in, and Chu Qing shouted angrily, "Get out."
The spirit wolf was unmoved and lay beside Chu Qing's boots, its two big black eyes looking very innocent.
Muhua just walked in and asked curiously: "Why do you hate it?"
Chu Qing said nothing.
It's not that I hate it, it just feels a bit awkward.
Recently, he has learned a lot about the customs on the grassland, including various trials and so on.
People can stand at the top of the food chain because of many reasons, tools, wisdom, etc.
On the grassland, animals, namely totems such as spiritual wolves, can actually determine people's life and death.
Let’s talk about the spirit wolf. If the spirit wolf fails to pass the spirit wolf test, the spirit wolf will do some animal instincts and behaviors that are difficult for people to understand, and then everyone will misinterpret this behavior. If the spirit wolf roars at a person, it may just be because he doesn’t understand.
Like this person's smell, or other reasons.
However, the Liangrong people thought that this man was cursed, and they would either banish him or kill him on the spot.
This is basically the same as a cult. Animals are actually innocent and are just used as tools. As for humans, we can’t say they are innocent or not, but they are just ignorant. They don’t believe in themselves, but they believe in animals?
If you put it this way, if all the Golden Retrievers kiss everyone they meet, then the whole world will be filled with good people?
Looking at the spirit wolf lying on his boots angrily, Chu Qing rolled his eyes: "I never believe in trials or animal totems, and I don't like people killing their own race because of the judgment of animals. What's ridiculous is that
, animals don’t judge anyone subjectively at all, it’s just your imagination.”
Mu Hua looked startled: "Shut up, if you continue talking, you will anger the gods on the grassland."
"No, no, no, no." Chu Qing waved his finger: "Do you know why I brought the wolf-catching army to the grassland?"
"I don't know."
"It's the gods on the grassland who have angered me!"
Mu Hua's pretty face turned pale, and Chu Qing crossed his legs: "If there really are gods, then in the eyes of the gods, we are just like ants. If not, the gods should not bring war to us. So, yes and no
, it makes no difference to me, if you do, it’s not a serious god, if you don’t, I don’t need to care.”
Mu Hua stared at Chu Qing, finally gave up the argument, and said faintly: "Your plan is very good, but have you ever thought about what would happen if the Peregrine Division didn't really join you? What if?
The Peregrine Division did not appear in time, and with your strength, you cannot defeat the Dongtu Division."
"Then what do you think, are they sincere or are they just pretending?"
"I..." Mu Hua shook her head, with a look of worry on her face: "I don't know."
Chu Qing smiled slightly and did not continue speaking.
Mu Hua's expression changed: "You have other plans, you have other plans, right?"
Chu Qing smiled and said nothing.
He does have other plans.
Regardless of whether Zaza and his son are sincerely surrendering or pretending to surrender, or whether they will regret it midway, etc., the battle plan has time and precise time.
After Zaza and his son agree to the plan tomorrow, they will send people to the Dongtu Department within two days. They said that the wolf-catching army will only stay in the Water Grass Tribe for about five days. This means that the Dongtu Department will have to gather its troops within three days, plus the distance.
It takes about five days to arrive, and the Peregrine Division will bring the Rangers within three to four days.
At that time, 2,000 people from the border army also arrived, plus the Shencao tribe and herdsmen, there were 10,000 people.
If the Peregrine Falcon Department sincerely surrenders, they will bring the old, weak, women and children, including supplies, and these old, weak, women, children and supplies will be arranged by Chu Qing on the south side of the water grass pasture. At that time, he will inform Zaza and his son
, under the city gate, it is already possible to camp. It depends on whether Zaza and his son agree to let the elderly and weak and materials go to the border gate.
This means that there are two opportunities to verify whether the Peregrine Tribe is truly committed.
For the first time, will the Peregrine Falcon Department send the old, weak, women and children? Because if they don't send people here, it means they are afraid that these people will become hostages and have evil intentions in their hearts.
Of course, it's not impossible for them to abandon the old, weak, women and children in order to deceive the cooperation, but there is still a second chance.
The second time, after arriving, the old, weak, women and children of the Peregrine Falcon tribe were asked whether they dared to go under the border city wall. If they did not dare to go, it would be inconsistent with the conditions originally proposed by Zaza and his son, which was enough to prove that they were pretending to surrender.
, because there are not only the old and the weak, women and children, but also materials and food. They can give up the old and the weak, women and children, but they will never give up the materials and food.
In this process, he will personally take some old soldiers to the Peregrine Falcon Division to observe the mobilization of the Peregrine Falcon Division. Through the signs of activities of herdsmen, rangers, old and weak, he can tell that there is something fishy about it. If there is anything fishy, the plan will be all over.
Not to mention, the wolf-catching army, the Shencao tribe, and the herdsman Qingzhuang changed their targets to the Peregrine Falcon tribe and killed these 2,525 boys.
"It's okay. I'm going to bed. Walk slowly. I won't see you off."
Mu Hua sighed: "You promised that we are friends and you will never lie to me or hide from me again."
"Sister, in addition to the 1,000-strong wolf-catching army, there are also more than 3,000 people from the Shencao tribe, plus 2,000 people from the border army. The lives of these 6,7,000 people are all on my shoulders. What do you want me to do?
Tell all your plans."
Chu Qing stood up, came to Mu Hua with bare feet, and said seriously: "Friendship takes time to test. During this test, we slowly adapt to each other, trust each other, and eventually become intimate.
, believe me, if you are really willing to help us, I, we, will definitely become your best friends, friends who share life and death, okay."
