Chapter 378: Hesitation
In the evening, Shen Chi lay on the recliner and looked at the black spot in the distance with burning eyes, but the black spot was the camp of the Western Frontier Army, but the two sides were too far apart, so it would become a small black spot in sight.
"If they dare to come again, they will annihilate me completely. ”
Shen Chi also held his breath, anyone who was caught off guard on the first day of taking office would be angry, let alone Shen Chi, a rather arrogant person.
He was not to blame for the incident, after all, it happened suddenly, he had just taken over the command of the army, and before the handover was completely handled, he was suddenly robbed by someone.
Not to mention that it is taboo to change generals in battle, so Shen Chi has indeed been wronged, and he can be regarded as suffering an unjustified disaster.
So after he received the military stick of the Yu commander, he kept holding his breath, and waited for a long time before it finally arrived at night.
In order to prepare for the robbery of the camp at night, Shen Chi can be said to have made sufficient preparations, first of all, he ordered all the scouts in the camp to leave the camp for ten miles, and they had to report every half an hour.
The news is passed layer by layer, and this speed is already very fast, but it is just a little hard work for the heralds.
And if there is an omission in the middle of the way, it is a problem, and also ordered a number of patrol teams to be arranged around each camp to prevent the Weishui army from sneaking into the camp under the lights.
At the same time, he also arranged for part of the army to retreat to the camp, ready to support the camp at any time, which can be said to have laid a net.
Just waiting for someone to jump inside, but unfortunately he didn't know that someone was carrying a plug-in, and just out of the city he found his scouts and some of the soldiers and horses.
"Hey, the commander of the Western Frontier Army is still a little cautious this time, but unfortunately, it ran into me. ”
Ye Xing rubbed his nose and stared at the battlefield in the distance while feeling the marks of the enemy and the enemy on the map in his mind.
On the identification map, the soldiers on both sides of the enemy were completely exposed, and there was no chance to hide at all, looking at the scattered red dots, Ye Xing had a plan in his heart.
Each red dot represents a soldier of the West, and from the map, the dots are scattered and show signs of movement from time to time.
Therefore, Ye Xing judged that these red dots represented the scout soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, and after watching for a while, Ye Xing discovered the round-trip time interval of the Western Frontier Army.
I paid attention to the red dots in my mind, and silently counted them, and found that there were quite a few scouts in the Western Army, a total of three hundred and seventy scouts.
Scattered from each other, they are far apart, and it is somewhat difficult to pull out at the same time.
"Childe, what are we going to do?"
Rui'er beside Ye Xing asked softly, a pair of bright eyes were clearly visible in the moonlight, and they were extremely cute.
"Wait, the scout has already been arranged, and we have to find a way to sneak in quietly. "Ye Xing's original intention was to uproot these scouts one by one.
But after thinking about it for a while, I found that these scouts were passing on news to report the situation, and the time in between was too short, if they were removed, I was afraid that when they arrived at the camp, they might be discovered by the other party.
So Ye Xing could only give up this idea, and think about how to sneak in quietly and not be discovered.
Qiu En on the side heard this, but he was slightly anxious, although the people who returned did not advocate sending a large group of men and horses to attack at night, but they were not unwilling to attack at night.
After all, the benefits of the night raid and raid the camp are too many, although the losses are heavy, but the enemy is even worse, so tonight's night raid has not been canceled.
Only a few changes have been made, the first is the last night raid on the camp, everyone is on foot, and a total of 3,000 people, a team of 500 people, assisted by a chief guard.
And this time it was the cavalry that was chosen, although the horses of Youyuan Fortress were not suitable for war horses, could not run long distances and had poor endurance, but it was better than no horses at all.
Therefore, under the hard work of Youyuan Fortress, he finally gathered five hundred horses that could barely be used as war horses for this outing to rob the camp.
In order to ensure the effect of the night attack, the crowd wrapped a thick coarse cloth on the horse's hooves, so that the sound was kept to a minimum.
Black cloth was also prepared for the horses, so that they could be blindfolded when the camp was burned, so that the horses would not be disturbed by the fire, and they would only rely on manpower to control the direction.
"Childe, if you don't hand it over to me, I'll take a hundred people to deal with those scouts, so that they can't pass on the news. ”
Qiu En stopped talking for a while, and finally whispered.
Li Mu and their battle had already made Qiu Enruier and the others envious for a while, but now it was finally time for them to fight, but they had been delayed here for a long time.
This is really a bit difficult for Qiu En, who is a little eager to perform, if it is not Ye Xing who is leading the team in front of him, I am afraid that Qiu En would have rushed out a long time ago.
"There are three hundred and seventy scouts, scattered at the same distance from each other, moving each other to deliver news, can you take each other down at the same time?"
Ye Xing first glanced at Qiu En, although he asked out loud.
Qiu En was stunned when he heard this, he only knew that there were scouts in front of him, but he didn't look closely, and in the middle of the night, he couldn't find the specific number of scouts on the other side.
So when he heard Ye Xing say that there were three hundred and seventy scouts on the other side, his first reaction was surprise, and then he hesitated and embarrassed.
He believed the number given by Ye Xing, but what he didn't expect was that there would be so many scouts from the Western Frontier Army.
And the time to deliver the news was still controlled so strictly, Qiu En opened his mouth and looked at Ye Xing: "That son...... Could it be that we will leave it like this tonight?"
When a group of soldiers who were close to heard this, they were all stunned, and some of them were not good.
The opportunity to make meritorious service is right in front of us, so why don't you give up like this?
Ye Xing was also stunned when he heard this, he was thinking about how to sneak in quietly, but when he heard Qiu En's words, he was also stunned.
Now that they had been delayed for a while, and the opponent's defense was so tight, it was indeed the best way to retreat and discuss again.
But now that I've come here, it's a little unwillingness to return like this.
Ye Xing didn't answer, but he kept thinking about it, thinking about his next plan.
The horses are not fast and have no stamina, but they still have to run faster than the scouts of the Western Frontier Army, right?
I can't catch up with the scouts who are in the rear to deliver the news, but it is no problem to eat the group of scouts who are guarding in front of me.
It's just that the number of scouts in front of them is indeed too small, if they take down this group of scouts in front of them, then Ye Xing and they will have to continue to attack the camp if they want to expand their results.
Otherwise, it would be a startling snake, and everyone hesitated for a while.
