Chapter 354: Traps on the Road

"Captain, how did you know that there was a large army stationed in the Turks?" Zhang Chuchen asked suddenly.

"I don't know, just be careful, you think that the tribe of five hundred people is stationed here, and there is no intention of preparing to leave, if there are no hole cards, how dare they be so unguarded."

"I see." Zhang Chuchen muttered.

If you attack rashly during the day, even if you succeed at this time, you will be chased by the enemy's soldiers and horses, and there will be many dangers.

However, at this time, it is not the same as being known by the enemy, and if you chase it, you can only thank you for the time.

Zhang Chuchen pondered, looking at the battle situation in the distance from time to time.

The flying cavalry took the lead, and it really played the tactical skills of the historian, and directly separated the team of the Turks who were panicked and counterattacked.

Then the leopard cavalry rushed in again, so that many Turks did not have time to mount.

In an instant, the battle was decided, and the Turks began to flee desperately.

Half an hour later, there was no more ping-pong sound in the distance.

"Governor, all the enemies have been wiped out, and this battle has been fruitful." Elevation came to report.

"Tell me that you must leave within half an hour, and you must move faster." Li Dedao.

"Yes."

In the darkness of the night, in the space of an hour, the vanguard had taken away all the cattle, sheep and horses, and the size of the team increased again, thanks to the nearly 1,000 horses captured.

The speed of the cattle and sheep slowed down, but they couldn't bear to give up.

The wolf guards searched very carefully, but after all, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the unfamiliarity with the terrain still made a few people hide, and after the vanguard left, the hiding people came out of the pre-dug pit and headed towards the Turkic army.

Li De counted the time in the carriage, and for two hours, he hurried while it was dark, and it was safer to walk near the border city wall.

When we were on the road, someone was in charge of counting the seized materials.

Around the carriage, the lieutenants came over on horseback, and the sky was bright to hold a post-war summary meeting.

"Governor, the statistics of the seized materials are complete." The Jade County Lord spoke first.

"Eight hundred and thirty horses, three hundred cattle, one thousand two hundred, eighty camels, five carts of furs, two thousand pieces of money, and a cart full of iron and armor."

"Well, combat power analysis." Li Dedao.

"The combat strength is average, not as good as the horse bandits encountered before, and besides, they carry very few bows and arrows, except for the necessary survival materials, there are no extra vassals." Shi Huaiyi said.

"More like a Turkic herder." Ding Qilin added.

"There are Turkic armies stationed thirty miles away, perhaps they are their vassals." Shi Huaiyi continued.

The Turkic soldiers and horses did not carry a large amount of supplies, and the vassal herdsmen were responsible for the affairs of the rear, and there were even people who captured other tribes as slaves, including the plundered Central Plains.

Li De's caution is correct, just as their current formation is slowed down by cattle and sheep, and they are reluctant to give up, and they don't have the time and capacity to slaughter.

Where are the Turkic soldiers and horses, there are vassal tribes to help provide them with food and grass, and the main force of soldiers and horses is responsible for fighting, they are all peoples on horseback, and the movement speed should be more than three times that of the vanguard at this time.

On the contrary, there is an advantage that they come quickly, but if they find a target, they will not attack immediately, and they will find the most suitable real-time machine to attack.

"Leave scouts along the way, and report to the enemy immediately if you find them." Li De said.

"Yes." Elevation was in charge of this matter and immediately responded.

"This battle has yielded a lot of harvests, horses and materials have been filled into logistics support and guards, and today's meal is enough, and the whole sheep is enough."

"The Li family's roast mutton is a must, I didn't have time to taste it, so I won't do this business, but today is a blessing."

Li De didn't want to bake it himself, and when he saw everyone's eager eyes, he was also interested.

"Okay, I'll make it myself, just in time for the break, make more jerky to keep it complete."

Li De said it easily, but everyone listened to it with a lot of pressure, and time really can't be wasted.

It was getting dark, they had been on the road for twenty hours, they were sleepy and tired, and they needed to rest, so the patrol was handed over to Situ En, and the other lieutenants sat around the fire to watch Li De make roast whole sheep.

In fact, any technique is secondary, mainly relying on seasonings.

When you are in a hurry, you are also particular about eating, after all, the lady at home is with you, and the conditions are difficult, and you can't say anything if you can't eat a bite of deliciousness.

The spices on Li De's carriage are indispensable.

You can't eat all the roast lamb for the barbecue, and the time won't wait so much, so the two roasted whole sheep are given to the captain.

The soldier eats stewed meat in boiling water, and when he is full, he can drink a sip of hot tea.

"Continue in two hours."

When the lieutenants gathered around and wanted to talk loudly, Li De gave an order, and at this moment, he must not relax, and the nature of the crowd was immediately dispelled.

In the silence of the night, when the wasteland was dark, the fire was extinguished after eating, and the shield men were the only ones who stood up the group.

In order to prevent wild wolves from appearing, cattle, sheep and horses have become "reconnaissance posts" on the periphery, and once there is movement, they will be discovered, and it may not be possible to deal with wolves and ordinary people, but they are elite soldiers, and they are not afraid at all in armor.

Two hours, that is, four hours, just choose when people are resting when it is easy to enter deep sleep, basically only need two hours in deep sleep to basically ensure the demand.

At this time, Situ En did not rest, and the Turks would not let them go easily, after all, there were only 5,000 people, and the other party's 30,000 people would try their best to chase them.

Passive defense is not a wise choice.

Situ En's trap technique can study some doorways, and let the guards dig a horse pit on the road at night, and the pit is covered with bamboo chips, and some floating soil is pressed on it, so that nothing can be seen at all, and when the sun shines during the day tomorrow, the soil will be the same as the surroundings, and there will be no strange things to see during the day.

Whether it is night or daytime, it can achieve the purpose of injuring the enemy.

In order to respond to the way he fights, he directly changed the name of the original guard to the organ guard.

The entire guards are crazy with their main general, fiddling with all kinds of props every day, and they are also another team with a convoy in addition to the logistics support guards.

Situ En can't even see a figure now.

During this attack, the guards were on the periphery, and they didn't have the heart to fight, and the low-key made people feel mysterious.

Concentrating the trap and then deliberately exposing the vanguard's whereabouts and directing them to another path is Situ En's purpose, and whether it can succeed can only be verified after the Turkic army arrives.

If the enemy does not catch up after three days, it is estimated that it will be successful.

The Turkic soldiers and horses of 30,000 people, when they learned that they were attacked by 5,000 people on the vassal tribe, they took the men and horses to track that night, and they were familiar with the terrain in Mobei, and they followed along the way according to the traces.
