Chapter 220: Scout Night Feast

The night passed.

The next day, very early in the morning, Xi Zhicai woke up Zhang Ming.

"My lord, important information."

Zhang Ming heard Xi Zhicai calling him outside the tent, and immediately got up with a bang.

After putting it on, I met Xi Zhicai in the big tent next to it.

The big tent next to it was not for people, but for deliberation and command.

"My lord, last night the scouts came back with the special forces, and they fought hundreds of times in one night, and our side lost more than 200 people, and it is estimated that the enemy may lose more than 1,000 people." Xi Zhicai said.

That's a big deal.

One night, it was scouts fighting, and the intensity of the attack was so high.

"Lord, when the sky is not dawning, the first and second batches will come back, and when they come back, they will report it quickly."

Zhang Ming fell into deep thought, this place is close to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the enemy must be frantically counterattacking.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Ming said: "All the special forces are back, have a good rest, and do a big job tonight." ”

Zhang Ming judged that there must be a lot of enemy scouts active here at night, so Zhang Ming wanted to hunt the enemy's scout team specifically.

Zhang Ming: They studied intelligence and set up tactics.

The scouts who came back gave a detailed account of the enemy's situation.

The enemy's scout squad was small in number, three or five, to a dozen or so, and moved quickly.

"In this way, our squad of twenty people, all equipped with bows and crossbows, and the squad of special forces, all equipped with night vision devices."

Zhang Ming plans to have a hunt, a carnival at night.

In the afternoon, he ordered his soldiers to get some rest.

In the evening, he set out with his army and dispersed in a hidden place.

He ordered Guan Yu to lead 2,000 people to ambush, in case the enemy noticed and pursued, then someone had to answer after him.

Zhang Fei went into battle with Zhao Yun and led special forces to fight, while Xu Huang stayed in the camp.

As soon as night fell, the killing began.

The enemy sent a lot of scouts around Sun Jian's camp for dozens of miles.

Zhang Ming personally led a team of twenty people.

"Kill~"

Spotting a squad of five enemy people, Zhang Ming and them rushed directly and attacked with bows and crossbows.

"Huh~"

"Ding~ System prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing a Xiliang soldier, rewarding a pack of three squirrels, 300 copper coins, and merit value +1."

The rest of the enemy were also shot.

The enemy was not equipped with a crossbow.

"Get the arrows away and retreat immediately."

Zhang Ming didn't want to leave the arrows, it was too intuitive, and the enemy could judge it immediately.

Zhang Ming After they finished killing a wave, they immediately transferred.

At the same time, during the night, large squads are scattered in numerous places, carrying out silent killings.

In the second half of the night, Zhang Ming and the others hunted three waves of enemy scouts and killed more than 20 people.

But in general, the enemy's scouts were killed a lot tonight, Zhang Ming and they dispatched more than 2,000 people, and the enemy had already killed more than 2,300 people.

Zhang Ming kept moving in this direction.

"It's not good, hide it."

Zhang Ming used the night vision device and found movement in the distance.

Soon a patrol party passed by, numbering a hundred.

This is not a scout, it is more appropriate to have scouts in groups of three or five, this is a patrol.

Why patrol?

Here are the targets they want to protect.

Probably their barracks.

Here, it is already thirty miles away from Sun Jian's camp.

The enemy was in the southwest direction of Sun Jian's camp, and the Tiger Prison was due west.

What kind of team will this be?

Zhang Ming and the others found a place to hide.

"Leave five people to guard the horses, and the rest, we will go in on foot to reconnoitre."

Zhang Ming brought special forces, and infiltrated them.

Say action, do it.

Zhang Ming led people to infiltrate.

On the way, they spotted several waves of patrols.

Sure enough, it was one of their barracks.

"Go around in circles."

Zhang Ming: They went around in a circle.

"The size of the barracks is not large, three thousand to five thousand people, what kind of army is this?"

After a circle, Zhang Ming and the others dodged the patrol team and quietly retreated.

Is this preparing to attack Sun Jian, or is it trying to do something?

Is it just here tonight, or what?

With doubts, Zhang Ming left a few people to continue to follow, and he was going back.

We'll have to go back and talk about the outcome of tonight's battle.

Before dawn, Zhang Ming and the others went back.

Xi Zhicai was already anxiously waiting for them.

"Hahaha, big brother, cool, I killed four waves of people tonight." When he met Zhang Fei at the door, he was happy that this guy could fight.

"Third brother, there are injuries."

"Big brother, don't worry, who is my old Zhang, I am not so easy to get hurt."

Zhang Ming patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and went in together.

Xi Zhicai has already begun to count.

It wasn't until dawn that the drama was counted.

"My lord, our side has lost more than 400 people in total, and it is estimated that nearly 3,000 enemies have been killed."

Zhang Ming was shocked, the frequency of scouts sent was too high.

"What are you going to do with this Xiliang Army?"

Everyone was puzzled, Zhang Ming and they had been busy all night, so they had to rest first.

After resting until the afternoon, Zhang Ming called a few more people.

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, my subordinates have an idea. ”

"Zhicai, you say."

Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea, looked at everyone and said, "Lord, I estimate that the Xiliang Army wants to sneak attack Sun Jian and them." ”

Xu Huang retorted: "According to our understanding, they have attacked Sun Jian more than ten times, and Sun Jian has also attacked them, and they have won and lost each other. ”

Xi Zhicai agreed with this statement, and he continued: "This sneak attack is different, the enemy sent so many scouts to cut off Sun Jian's contact with the allies, and may have to sneak attack their logistics, after all, this Sun Jian is also deep behind enemy lines." ”

"As long as there are logistical problems and their morale is shaken, and they sneak attack Sun Jian's camp, this Sun Jian will be in danger."

Zhang Ming remembered that Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jian would break Luoyang all the way and rob them of their credit, so he deliberately started with logistics, so that Sun Jian had no support, and finally failed miserably.

This may not be true, but there must be a problem with Sun Jian's logistics.

Deep into the war zone, they are all enemies, the transportation route is too far, and it is normal to be cut off from the grain route.

Zhao Yun said: "Then we will ambush Xiliang's team, and after they sneak attack, we will appear again." ”

Zhang Ming didn't speak, and everyone began to discuss.

In the end, Zhang Ming said: "The soldiers and horses we found last night may be the team that intends to ambush Sun Jian's logistics, and we will not act tonight." ”

The enemy must have discovered the frenzied hunt last night, but tonight it will not be so easy.

Zhang Ming will not send troops tonight, as long as the enemy does not get close to them, Zhang Ming and their soldiers and horses will not appear.

Just after nightfall, Zhang Ming's scouts came to report.

"My lord, it's just night, and the enemy we watched last night has pulled out of camp."

Day and night, this is the work of ambush soldiers.

"Okay, send someone to keep an eye on them, don't alarm them."

Zhang Ming's guess was verified, and this team was likely to be the team preparing for a sneak attack.
