Fighting in the dark, for the Tartars who are experienced in combat, although they have the disadvantage of 'the enemy is dark and I am clear', they are still superior to these recruits. And once something unexpected happens, the recruits are very likely to collapse at the first touch. Then, the consequences are not something that Ye Fu can control.

So, he couldn't choose to carry out this attack at night, even though he knew that it might be a better option.

~~

Ye Fu took more than 20 of his subordinates and rode to a place about two miles away from Giorthoorn Village. He grabbed the reins, and the trotting horse stopped obediently, shook the horse's head on the spot, and snorted.

Dismount!

Ye Fu made a gesture, led by Ma Xiaoliu, and a group of well-trained soldiers got off their horses neatly.

The soldiers each looked for a place nearby, tied their horses to a place that would not attract much attention, and hastily hid them, and then gathered around Ye Fu.

Set up a vigilance!

With another gesture, the four soldiers who were ordered immediately dispersed according to the content taught during the training, and set up simple guards around them, always paying attention to the wind and grass around them.

Ye Fu looked around, broke a branch casually, and squatted down.

By moonlight, Ye Fu used tree branches to sketch a simple sketch of Giethoorn on the snow.

"According to the intelligence, the Tartars were concentrated in Giethoorn Village. The terrain of this village is extremely vulnerable to ambushes. Especially at night, the Tartars took advantage of this terrain at that time. Taking advantage of Fang Mengda's sleeping in the village, he attacked and killed the guards. Then he attacked in front of the village and behind the village, which caused a catastrophe to Fang Mengda's department. ”

If it weren't for the mountains on both sides, blocked by Tartar soldiers in front and back, Fang Mengda's troops would not have been slaughtered so miserably.

"It's a good idea to raid at night. It is the best choice for the Tartars who are accustomed to fighting. But for us, it's not. ”

When Ye Fu said this, his eyes swept around, and he briefly touched Ma Xiaoliu.

Ma Xiaoliu looked at his subordinates and sighed unconsciously. He understood Ye Fu's worries, but in such a short period of time, there was really no chance of actual combat, how could he really train a good soldier?

The pro-soldiers may not have thought of so much, but when they saw Ma Xiaoliu's helpless and complaining eyes, they suddenly understood. They lowered their heads one by one, and their hearts were filled with a deep sense of guilt.

Seeing this, Ye Fu rubbed the hat of a soldier next to him with a white cloth on his head, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Isn't everyone coming from a new recruit, fighting and fighting, isn't it a veteran? Besides, there is another reason why you are not allowed to attack at night. ”

Ma Xiaoliu raised his head and said, "What else is the reason?" ”

"These Tartars only attacked Fang Mengda in the evening, and they should be tired at this time. What's more, when the Tartar soldiers met our Ming army, they had always won more than defeated. Under normal circumstances, I am afraid that it is impossible to imagine that we dare to take the initiative. What is even more impossible to imagine is that we dare to treat others in the way of others. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiaoliu couldn't help but be even more confused.

"My lord, isn't it better to attack at night?" Ma Xiaoliu asked.

Ye Fu shook his head with a smile, "Attacking at night is harmful to us and not beneficial." However, just because I don't attack doesn't mean I can't harass them. This night must not be made easy for them! ”

Ma Xiaoliu said: "My lord, what to do, you just say it." ”

Ye Fu pointed to the sketch on the ground and said, "We don't have many people, and dividing the troops is not the best policy." In this way, on the east side of the village head, Xiaoliu, you take ten people, and ambush in this position. On the west side, Zhang Yuan, you take ten people and ambush in this position. Try to find a hidden place and set up an ambush. Before it gets dark, and no traces are to be exposed. I know it's cold, and it's even colder on the snow. The brethren all have wine with them, and you are allowed to drink less than two sips to ward off the cold, but not too much! After overcoming this night, tomorrow morning, it will be time for us to make contributions! ”

Speaking of which, Ye Fu had already seen the eagerness in the eyes of these soldiers.

Those who didn't serve as soldiers didn't want to be rewarded for their meritorious service, and in this kind of ambush warfare, which sounds like a low casualty rate, almost everyone hopes that they can get a chance to make a difference.

Ye Fu continued: "Wait until tomorrow morning, listen to my orders, use the arrow as the number, and attack the two sides together." However, only archery is allowed, and the same attention is paid to concealment, and the body is not allowed to be exposed. ”

"Yes, I understand." Ma Xiaoliu agreed, "But, my lord, if the Tartars escape from the end of the village, what should we do?" ”

"Escape? Is it possible to run on such terrain? Ye Fu's smile was cold, and his eyes were full of murderous aura, "Little Liu, you can pick a few people later, and bring all our war horses back to Lu Jiang, so as not to be exposed." In addition, pass my military order to General Lu, and ask him to lead people to ambush at the end of the village. If you find that the Tartar is showing signs of escape, kill me! ”

"Yes, understood, sir." Ma Xiaoliu said, "My lord, how to arrange tonight's attack?" ”

"Well, you don't have to worry too much." Ye Fu took off his bow and held it in his hand, "Your task tonight is to lay an ambush, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to expose it." ”

The night was thick, and the howling north wind blew past my ears, making a sound like a ghost crying wolf.

Ye Fu held a hard bow in his hand, bent his waist, and slowly approached in the direction of Giethoorn Village.

In the dark night, his body is like a nimble white cat, and under the moonlight, it almost merges with the vast white snow that reveals its pure white color.

When he was still a short distance from the entrance of the village, he stopped, bent down, and hid among the snow under the dead trees, quietly observing the movement of the village.

I have to say that although the Tartars are indeed arrogant, they are still strong soldiers in the end, and the difference between them and weak soldiers is still relatively obvious.

Although it was already midnight, the Tartar soldiers guarding at the entrance of the village were not carried away by the victory in the evening, and from a distance, you could feel that their spirits were still extremely alert.

Ye Fu took a deep breath and quietly waited for the opportunity.

~~

Giethoorn Village, the entrance of the village.

One of the Tartars on duty stamped his feet on the spot and rubbed his cheeks, which were red and stiff from the cold.

"Ahem, it's cold!" He put his hand back in his sleeve and said to his companion.

"Not really! It's like this every winter. His companion replied, apparently that the winter night was too cold. Each of their shifts is an hour. Even if he was wearing warm clothes and boots, there was always exposed skin on his body, which could always remind him that the winter in Liaodong during the Xiaoice River was so cold, "Alhatu, bear with it for a while!" It's time for a shift change. ”

The Tartar soldier named Alhattu looked up at the sky and sighed, "I can finally go back and rest." Ahem, I really want to go back sooner! On this cold day, if there is a roast leg of lamb and a pot of wine, it will be too comfortable! ”

"Say no more!" His companion stabbed him in the hand and said, "This big night, can you please not mention this!" But ......" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "I really want to go back soon, at least I don't want to come out again until this winter is over." ”

"You're thinking about unrealistic things." Alhatu glanced at him and said, "Didn't you listen to Zuoling?" In the battle of Sarhu, the Great Khan fell for the tricks of those Han dogs. It was originally a great victory, but it lost 7,000 elites. We haven't grabbed much, how are we going to spend this winter? A few days ago, I finally won another city, but in the end, I couldn't make up for the loss so quickly. If we want to pass this winter, we still have hard days to survive! ”

"Damn Han dog!" The companion scolded hatefully.

When Alhatu saw it, he comforted him in turn and said, "However, this time we have gained a lot." With so many livestock and Han people, we have not only food for the winter, but also serfs who will farm for us in the spring. The Han dog was just a blind cat that hit a dead mouse at that time, and it was lucky. In terms of fighting, in the end, it is not the opponent of our Houjin Warriors. Rest assured! Life will always get better! ”

"Hmph, that's true!" The companion was a little happier at this time, nodded and said, "Just like those Han dogs we met in the past two days, they are simply vulnerable!" ”

Alhatu immediately agreed, but after a while, he suddenly asked, "Hey, you say, in the evening, where are the soldiers of those Han dogs living in this village?" There is still such a little resistance, and it hurt a few of our brothers! The most hateful thing is that the official was actually run away by him! I don't know, will it get into trouble. ”

"What's the trouble?" The companion waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "In my opinion, I don't know which deserter from the military fort, right?" On the side of the Ming army, there are a lot of such people! Those deserters, we encountered, they died. But if they let their own people encounter it, I'm afraid it will end up better than death! So, we've done a good thing! Besides, deserters, who do they dare to ask for help? Moreover, even if I ask for help from the surrounding military forts, are those wrecks that I have attracted the opponents of my Houjin Warriors? Put your heart in your belly! If it's soon, we'll be back tomorrow evening! ”

Between the two men's conversation, they didn't notice anything.

In a bush not far away, the tips of black-painted arrows glowed with bloodthirsty murderous intent, and they were aiming at them.

~~

Ye Fu felt that his body was a little stiff.

The military uniforms of the army in this era are really impractical, and if you lie on your stomach in the snow for a while, you will be about to freeze through. He secretly pondered in his heart that if he could get what he wanted this time and go back with a beautiful victory, he would have to admonish him and change his military uniform. Or don't be so troublesome to advise, ask for more rewards, and buy your own materials to make clothes, it's not impossible.

With such a distraction, it seems that the cold feeling is lighter.

He steadied himself, took the hard bow in his hand, and slowly pulled the bowstring apart.

Not far away, the two Tartars seemed to be preparing for a change of guard.

Frequently looking behind him, constantly rubbing his hands and stomping his feet, he looks very impatient.
