Chapter 347: Here They Come
It took two hours to set up a simple tent, the scale of the camp of 5,000 soldiers and horses is not small, a tent is crowded with people, the conditions are simple and can only be dealt with, it is too late to build more tents, it is better to rest for more hours.
With Li De's instructions, the patrol team was arranged three times as much as usual, and the guards took turns to patrol and were heavily guarded.
In the carriage in which Li De was riding, the fur blankets had been spread, and he was about to rest, when Zhang Chuchen's figure entered the car.
"Out of the dust, just together."
Li De smiled evilly, with a rich expression.
"I'm here to protect you." Zhang Chuchen replied seriously.
"Okay, protect yourself []."
Zhang Chuchen has long been accustomed to Li De's unserious attitude, surrounded by tiger soldiers outside the car, she just made an excuse for herself to come to the car.
In the middle of the night, the barracks were unusually quiet, and the patrol squads were divided into light and dark, and the number of patrols by people in the light gradually decreased.
Situ En did not go to the barracks to rest, and the vacated tents were for the soldiers to live in, but he took a few people and cats to the higher woods, carrying a large leather bag.
The outdoor products researched by Li De, the leather sleeping bag, which is made of animal hair, has no problem with resting for a long time in the cold storage after testing, and it will not freeze when sleeping on ice.
The ten lieutenants and their own soldiers were equipped with guard sleeping bags, and the sleeping bags of the tiger guards did not cost a penny, and the production was all supported by the ten captains' families, in addition to short shovels forged from fine iron, single tents, special leather boots and other things.
Li De calculated, if he wants to equip the entire personal guard, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan, and the price of which excellent equipment design drawings is that the tiger guard will enjoy the results for free.
The participating Jiangmen jointly opened a workshop, shared technology, and the Li family took 20% of the sales revenue.
Situ En is in the sleeping bag, and when necessary, he can open the pocket of the eye area to see the situation outside, and the outside of the sleeping bag is covered with leaves and weeds as a cover, which is difficult for people to distinguish during the day, and even more difficult for people to detect at night.
Yuwen Chengdu learned that Li De had arrived in Luoyang, and bypassed it to deliver the supplies first, and his father had already written a letter asking him to help the vanguard obtain supplies as much as possible to send him away.
In the letter, it can be seen that the Yuwen family attaches great importance to Li De, as a general, he is very unconvinced, what kind of climate can the children of the generals become.
Even His Majesty the Emperor is not optimistic about them, so why should I help them.
Late at night, Yuwen Chengdu personally took the elite soldiers and strong generals to decide to teach them a lesson, but when the camp was breached, he wrote a letter to punish Li De for the crime of negligence.
500 pioneers were selected, followed by 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they came to camp in a mighty way.
Situ En was really asleep, after all, he was lying on the ground, and he was soon awakened by the shock.
"There's a situation, ready to release the arrow."
When an arrow is sounded, the arrow is a whistle, and when released, it is accompanied by a piercing whistling.
As soon as the arrows sounded, the vanguard who had been prepared for a long time immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and the patrols on the periphery all opened their bows, ready to defend against a strong enemy.
The vanguard of Yuwen Chengdu is all cavalry, the barracks of the two sides are not far away, the fast horses do not take long, they rush in a hurry, and when they are less than a thousand steps away from the target, even the people and horses are planted.
Only then did they discover that someone had dug a horse trap on the road, and the pit that was not deep or small was disguised, and when they got into the horse's legs, they directly affected the surrounding cavalry.
"Sink into the pit and slow down."
The captain with the troops was immediately called, and the herald immediately delivered the news.
Yuwen Chengdu was behind the vanguard with people, and the speed in front of him all slowed down, and people immediately found out the situation.
"General, there is a horse trap in front, it is difficult to distinguish when it is dark, there are ten horses, and twenty people have been injured because of this." The herald came to report.
Yuwen Chengdu had a cold face, he lost people before he got to the place, and it would be embarrassing to spread it.
"Pass my orders, rush the camp for me!"
"Order!" The herald doesn't care what the generals think, he just gets the word on anyway.
Li De's side, after getting the signal, led people to also charge.
Situ En packed his sleeping bag and watched Yuwen Chengdu's people rush into the camp, there was a miserable howl, without the slightest sympathy, he could now take a detour and leave.
Yuwen Chengdu arrived at the vanguard camp with 10,000 horses, and before he could start the battle, he encountered various traps, and the camp was full of traps.
Five hundred pioneers lost a large number of horses.
"General, there is no one in the camp."
"Divert the tiger from the mountain, and hit the plan." Yuwen Chengdu reacted and immediately ordered to return to the camp.
Li De and his people did not live in the camp from the beginning, their supplies were not enough at all, and the camp was just a cover.
In order to train the strongest soldiers, where will the soldiers sleep so comfortably, they all sleep in clothes, but on the edge of the Yuwen Chengdu camp.
If Yuwen Chengdu doesn't do anything at night, they will deal with it for one night, ask for enough supplies tomorrow to complete the camp, and stay for a few days at most before leaving.
If Yuwen Chengdu really led people to rob the camp, they didn't mind changing to a ready-made barracks to live in, but they saved the time of asking for supplies.
Their well-thought-out planning proved to bear fruit.
The barracks were defenseless at all, and there were 100,000 soldiers and horses guarding Luoyang, who would have thought that there would be "their own people" to rob the camp.
"The level of Yuwen Chengdu's barracks is high, and the complete defensive equipment is complete, and we have earned it this time." Gao Cheng was patrolling the camp with several lieutenants.
"Their men should be back soon, hurry up and set up to prevent them from charging into battle." Wei Xun reminded on the side.
"If they can rush in today, I'll lose!" Ding Qilin packed the ticket and said.
"The other party is a good soldier, and they can't relax, what if they fight to the death with us regardless of casualties?" Wei Xun said.
"If there is a real falling out, the matter is also caused by them, I am afraid that he will do something, and the battle will be the winner." Ding Qilin said.
Ding Qilin is this temper, every time he behaves aggressively, those who are familiar with him know that he must not be deceived by this guy's appearance, although he is loud and loud, he may not be able to make a sound when he actually moves his character.
"Put the rockets and light up the pyre outside!" Hebida rode over and said.
The archers had already been prepared, and as soon as the rockets came out, the fire outside the barracks was bright, and they could see every move of people from afar, and there were all archers near the barracks, and they could clearly see the target by the firelight.
"Look, they're coming!"
When the horse arrived at the gate of the barracks, he was not attacked by the archers, and the other party was just a messenger, so it was not good not to let the family talk.
"Pass the general's order, leave the barracks and return to your station quickly within half an hour, otherwise you will be treated as a rebel."
"Hurry up and tell the Governor the news!"
