A quarter of an hour later, a member of the Jinfan Thief came out of the racecourse. He came to Liu Qi and saluted: "The guardrails around the racecourse are extremely strong, and the cavalry cannot break through." There are still a thousand soldiers and horses in the racecourse.
There are 1,000 soldiers and 300 people gathered at the gate of the racecourse. Other soldiers and horses are scattered around the racecourse. The horses are all kept in the racecourse, at least 4,000 to 5,000, but none of them are equipped with saddles and reins. If the horses panic after entering the racecourse,
It's too late for us and others to subdue them."
After listening carefully, Liu Qi took a piece of brocade from his body and handed it to him and said: "You can draw the inside of the racecourse on it. It is best to draw it in more detail."
The members of the Jinfan Thief immediately drew the situation in the racecourse, and even marked the number of people in each place. What caught Liu Qi's attention the most was the grain and grass warehouse in the racecourse, which was specially built for raising horses.
The warehouse is dedicated to storing grain and fodder for horses.
Another place that caught Liu Qi's attention was the several houses within the racecourse. Guarding the racecourse was a long-term job. Dubot, who guarded the racecourse, deliberately built basic houses in the racecourse to serve as military camps.
Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning. Gan Ning, the Jinfan thief, knew best about some of the markings on it and needed Gan Ning to explain. Gan Ning pointed to the guardrail above the brocade and said: "This guardrail is full of traps and a person can climb over the wall.
It’s impossible for so many of us to go in.”
Wang Yi nodded, and Liu Qi also agreed. The guardrails are not low and are extremely strong. It is not easy for a person to sneak in, but it is impossible for all 800 of them to enter through this method. Besides, it is inside the racecourse.
Soldiers and horses are scattered and easily exposed.
Gan Ning pointed to the gate of the racecourse and said: "The gate is the only way to enter the racecourse. Although there are only three hundred people, there are a large number of military crossbows on both sides of the racecourse. If we attack by force, there will definitely be many casualties."
Liu Qi nodded again. The gate of the racecourse was small and could only accommodate three horses walking side by side. It was not suitable for a cavalry charge. In addition, if there were cavalry's nemesis crossbows, even if they captured the racecourse, they would suffer heavy casualties.
Gan Ning then pointed to a house in the innermost part of the racecourse and said, "This should be the place where saddles are stored, but I'm not sure yet so I want to take another look."
After Gan Ning explained several other marks in detail, Liu Qiqi and others suddenly realized that even if this picture fell into the hands of others, others would not be able to understand it. Liu Qi had secretly decided to ask his intelligence department to do the same when he returned.
After Gan Ning finished speaking, Liu Qi looked at the two of them: "The spies who were staying in Poyang City just now sent word that Uncle Dub will not come back today. That means we must capture the racecourse and leave within today. You guys
Is there any way?"
Wang Yi said: "This racecourse does not look easy to capture, but if we use the Flying Tiger Guards as the front charge, we should be able to rush in. As long as we rush in, everything will be easy. The open terrain inside the racecourse is most conducive to cavalry charges."
Liu Qi shook his head and said: "The casualties are too great. The remaining eight hundred cavalry are all those who have survived among the army. They are definitely the best of the best and cannot be wasted." Although directly capturing the racecourse is the fastest way, it is not a last resort. Liu Qi
You won't do that.
Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and saw Gan Ning shaking his head. Liu Qi pointed at the picture and said: "Pick one of the soldiers to sneak into the horse farm and set it on fire. Food and grass are the most important thing in the horse farm. If there is a fire, there will be chaos in the horse farm, and we can take advantage of it."
.Send another person to poison their meals, which can also reduce our resistance."
Gan Ning and Wang Yi were surprised when he explained that Liu Qi was very different from before after the last sneak attack on Sun He. In the past, he would express his ideas to see if it was feasible, but now he actually gives direct orders. It seems that Liu Qi is more like a lord.
Majestic and good at making decisions.
Liu Qi ignored the two and asked: "Do you have any poison on you?"
Wang Yi and Gan Ning shook their heads. In the past, Gan Ning might have brought poison, but since he followed Liu Qi, he has never brought poison again.
Liu Qi said helplessly: "There is no need to poison people, as long as it has an effect."
Gan Ning and Wang Yi's eyes lit up and he said: "The soldiers all have crotons on their bodies. Is it okay?"
Liu Qi asked doubtfully: "Croton?" He had naturally heard of Croton. Eating it can cause diarrhea and general weakness.
Gan Ning thought that Liu Qi didn't know and explained: "The horses don't have good food and grass to feed outside, so the soldiers bring croton. Feeding a small amount of croton to the horses every once in a while can increase the appetite of the horses. But eating too much will
It makes a horse so weak that it can't walk, and it's the same thing if a person eats it."
Liu Qi nodded and said: "Gather all the crotons of the soldiers and send people to sneak into the racecourse and put them in their meals."
Gan Ning immediately went down to find the two men and brought them to Liu Qi and said, "Sir, these two were good at stealing things in the past." When the two saw Liu Qi, they hurriedly saluted and said, "Sir."
Liu Qi looked at the two people. One of them was the person who just sneaked into the racecourse to draw the picture. The other Liu Qi had no impression. However, since Gan Ning said it, it should be right. Liu Qi said to the person who just drew the picture: "Sneak into the racecourse again and capture the racecourse."
The grain and grass in it are on fire, so remember not to leave any traces."
"No." After saying that, he walked towards the racecourse.
Liu Qi looked at the other person and said, "Sneak into the racecourse and put these crotons in their meals so they don't find out."
"Don't worry, young master." After saying that, he took the croton and headed to the racecourse. Gan Ning had already told him about the situation at the racecourse before coming.
After the two left, Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and Wang Yi and said, "Let the soldiers have a good meal to recharge their batteries and wait for the situation inside the racecourse."
Gan Ning nodded and went to give instructions.
………………
In a stable within the racecourse, several people were whipping a horse. The horse was covered in whip marks, and some blood even leaked from the whip marks from time to time.
A series of whip marks appeared on the horse's back, but the horse did not react at all and looked at the people with its head held high, eyes full of ridicule and stubbornness.
This horse was a wild horse that had appeared here for some unknown reason. It took Dubbo and a thousand people to catch the horse with great effort. The horse was pure white without a trace of color. Dubbo saw
After that, he was overjoyed. If he could give this horse to Sun Ce, his status in Sun Ce's heart would suddenly rise.
But none of the horse trainers in the racecourse could tame it, so Dub had no choice but to use cruel methods with his mouth to hope that the horse would surrender.
"You are a beast with no understanding of human nature. If the general hadn't said that he would sacrifice you to the lord, he would have killed you and eaten your flesh."
"Hey, I've never seen such a stubborn horse. It's really asking for trouble."
"That's right, if this is dedicated to the Lord, if anything happens to us, we won't be able to escape, so we'd better tame him earlier."
