Chapter 426: Pre-Battle Preparations

At night, after Shi Bin calmed down, he felt a little cruel when he thought about the decision he made during the day, but there was no joke in the army, and the matter of changing the order at night must not happen, so Shi Bin did not plan to modify it, anyway, it was not his own people who were hurt.

Maybe it was because I felt a little insomnia, so I went to the camp and started to walk. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and a few grains of sand entered his eyes, which made Shi Bin very unhappy, and at the same time reminded him of the guy who was in pain from lime during the day.

Anyway, he couldn't sleep, so Shi Bin simply went to the gang's tent to comfort him.

Everyone didn't expect Shi Binshen to come to offer condolences without rest in the middle of the night, and they were very grateful. Especially the guy with an injured eye was even more grateful, and said that he would definitely cook for Shi Bin in the future.

"You just have a good rest and don't have to cook for a while. But can you still see with these eyes? Shi Bin asked.

"I can see it, but it's a little blurry. The military doctor said that if the adults didn't deal with it in time and use the right method, I'm afraid that my eye would be useless. The man said.

"It's good to be able to see it." Shi Bin said and took out a fifty taels of Jiaozi from his pocket and stuffed it into the man's hand, "This is for you, it's a little heart." ”

How dare that guy take it? refused again and again, and the rest of the soldiers also said that they could not accept it. It wasn't until Shi Bin emphasized that this was an 'order' that the man took the money nervously. Shi Bin also easily got out of his man's tent and went back to his tent to rest.

The next morning, Shi Bin opened his eyes and remembered the events of the previous night, and at the same time an idea popped into his mind, which made him feel that he could try, but he was a little scared.

After Xu Feng finished the matter, he came to report to Shi Bin in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Shi Bin say in a very solemn tone: "Xu Feng, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

Such a big change in Shi Bin made Xu Feng a little uncomfortable, but at the same time he was very happy, because it was obvious that Shi Bin had returned to his senses.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"You want me to leave a way for the Yuan people not to drive them crazy, I'm talking about not dealing with the Yuan people who are good with us, right?" Shi Bin asked.

"Yes." Some didn't understand what Shi Bin meant by this, but Xu Feng didn't think that Shi Bin would break his promise, so he wasn't in a hurry.

"What if there are still people in the tribes that have been formed against us?" Shi Bin asked, "After all, we are their enemies this time, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not go back on their word." ”

"Your Excellency is reminding me to watch out for them?" Xu Feng asked.

"It's not just about beware. What if they still chase and kill? Last time we were chased so badly that we almost got caught. ”

Some didn't understand what Shi Bin meant by this, Xu Feng could only wait quietly for Shi Bin to continue.

"We have to think of something so that the Yuan people don't dare to chase us at all." Shi Bin said.

Choking and Strange Novels|w~w~w.

"My lord, we have thistles, horse nets, and beans, can't we still guarantee our safety?" Xu Feng was incredulous at Xu Feng's caution.

"Basically. But I came up with another solution last night, which should be more effective but also more dangerous. ”

What I came up with last night is more effective and more dangerous? Xu Feng was not stupid, and with a frown, he understood what Shi Bin meant. "My lord, do you want to use the scattered lime as cover for our retreat?" As soon as he said this, Xu Feng immediately trembled.

Indeed, thistles, horse nets, and beans could only affect a few Yuan cavalry who rushed to the front, and the coverage area was too small to be necessarily useful. Once the lime is sprinkled out, it is a large area, and as long as it is followed behind, it may be affected, and the tighter it is, the more dangerous it is. If the protection is not effective, the eyes will be blind and then lose their combat effectiveness, and the rest of their lives will have to be spent in the dark. Even if the rider is not affected, the mount is affected.

"That's what it means."

"Are you afraid that our own people will be injured by mistake?" Xu Feng said.

"Of course. I don't want the enemy to cripple my own people before they are hurt, and you'll have to help me find a way to avoid this loss. This must not be allowed. Shi Bin said in a commanding tone.

This method is not very difficult to think of, but Xu Feng, who has worked incense, put forward several suggestions: first, the order is forbidden, and only the last few cavalrymen are allowed to sprinkle lime when they are ordered. Second, this tactic should only be used when headwind. Thirdly, each warrior had to prepare a scarf, and as soon as the lime began to be sprinkled, everyone had to cover their eyes, mouth and nose with a scarf. Fourth, start with at least five days of simulation training.

Shi Bin was not in a hurry to send troops, and his previous shouts were just angry. Now there are these good suggestions from Xu Feng, so I decided to 'plan and then act', and set off again when I was ready to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Sure enough, in the course of the exercise, nearly 15 soldiers accidentally injured themselves or their comrades-in-arms due to improper operation. Fortunately, they all had scarves for protection, and they were all told how to deal with it urgently, so they didn't suffer much damage and were able to continue to go with Shi Bin.

Five days passed quickly, and Shi Bin also planned to lead the troops to the expedition, but Wang Lixin came the night before the expedition.

"Lord Shi, I heard from your subordinates that you plan to attack the hinterland of the Yuanren?" Wang Lixin asked.

Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to admit it, Shi Bin immediately roared in anger: "Lord Wang, who did you listen to when you said this, who said that I was going to the hinterland of the Yuan people to carry out a surprise attack?" Can this kind of thing be said nonsense? Lord Wang, please bring that man to me, and I will smash his mouth myself! ”

"Lord Shi doesn't need to be in a hurry to deny it, I believe my subordinates will not talk nonsense. And Wang heard that the adults had recently made hundreds of catties of lime and dozens of catties of mercury. What do you want these things for? ”

"Lord Wang should know that my family likes to eat [] lime steamed eggs, and the adults ordered me to make these limes because I plan to let the brothers in the camp eat lime steamed eggs once and improve the food. As for the mercury, it is used to kill insects, and the adults know that our camp is too dirty, and those reptiles are easy to transmit diseases, so they get some mercury to kill insects. Xu Feng immediately came out to help Shi Bin lie.

Unexpectedly, the lie Xu Feng came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Wang Lixin felt a little powerless. I had to change my attitude and said meaningfully: "Lord Shi, Wang brought some oleander, aconitum and croton as a meeting gift." ”

What is the use of other things Shi Bin didn't understand, but as soon as he heard 'Croton' and saw the smile on Wang Lixin's face, Shi Bin understood that Wang Lixin also came with bad intentions. Maybe I just want to go to the Yuanren's nest with him to play.

"What do you mean, Lord Wang?" Shi Bin continued to pretend to be stupid.

"Lord Shi wants to go north, Wang also wants to go north, why don't we go north together and take care of each other, what do you think?"

It's not that he looks down on Wang Lixin, but he thinks that he has too little experience, and there should be someone in the big camp. The main generals can't all run away, it's easy for the morale of the army to fluctuate, and the consequences are unpredictable.

But looking at Wang Lixin's way, if he didn't take him there, he wouldn't let him go, so Shi Bin had to sit down and discuss with Wang Lixin what to do.

"Lord Shi, Wang doesn't think this matter is troublesome. Garrison the troops in a few important towns, and order them to only defend to the death and not attack, and we should go and return quickly. If you are really dragged down by something, aren't there still a few tiger generals under your command, Lord Wu Qian and Lord Shi? Wang believes they won't sit idly by. ”

It's a good idea, but Shi Bin is still not at ease. After all, the person in front of him had never fought with the Yuanren cavalry of the brigade, what if he dropped the chain when the fight started? Isn't that a drag?

Obviously guessing what Shi Bin was thinking, Wang Lixin said: "Please rest assured, Lord Shi, once you enter the grassland, Wang will obey your orders." If I disobey the order, you can ask your men to tie me up and leave, and you don't have to be taboo about my identity. ”

Although he didn't believe this nonsense, this attitude also reassured Shi Bin a lot. So he compromised and agreed to absorb Wang Lixin into the gang.

Just in case, Shi Bin conducted another five-day exercise with Wang Lixin's men and horses, and practiced all the methods of dealing with the Yuan people.

The next step was to distribute the various 'weapons': 10 tribulus terrestris for each person, 20 horse nets, 10 catties of beans, 10 catties of quicklime, and two catties each for oleander, aconitum and croton.

When Wang Lixin was about to urge Shi Bin to pull out, he was stopped by Shi Bin and said that he had to wait a little longer. This made Wang Lixin very puzzled.

"Lord Wang, don't you think there's anything wrong with us going like this?" Shi Bin smiled weirdly.

"Wrong?"

Wang Lixin didn't understand the meaning of Shi Bin's words. In his opinion, the soldiers have been trained, the food and grass are all prepared, and the advance and retreat routes have been planned.

"Lord Wang is still too sincere." Shi Bin said with a smile, "Lord Wang, let's not go to fight against the Yuan people, but to engage in sneak attacks and tricks, isn't it better to be discovered by the Yuan people later?" ”

After Shi Bin reminded Wang Lixin of this, he immediately understood what he meant, this was to engage in some disguise. So he asked, "Master Shi is right. Then how does Lord Shi plan to enter the territory of the Yuan people? ”

"It's very simple, just dress up as a Yuanren. Get some sheepskin hats, robes, belts, boots. Weapons were to be replaced with sabers and bows and arrows, and those who could use firearms were to have a short gun and a hundred rounds of ammunition per person. Shi Bin smiled.

Who knew that some soldiers couldn't stand the smell of the sheep and vomited, which made Shi Bin very dissatisfied. Immediately ordered that all the soldiers who were about to go north sleep in the clothes of the Yuan people, and could only eat beef and mutton and drink cow and goat milk every day.

In the end, six hundred soldiers who best met Shi Bin's requirements were selected from the five thousand elites to go north with him and Wang Lixin.

On the first night of departure, Xu Feng, a little think tank, came to Shi Bin's tent again. Today's Shi Bin actually hates Xu Feng a little, in his opinion, his plan to go north has become so troublesome and delayed for so long. The reason why Wang Lixin found out that he was going north was also caused by his unfavorable work.

"My lord, how many clothes do you have for the soldiers?"

"Three pieces per person, what? What is your opinion? Shi Bin said angrily.

"The number of pieces is enough, but may I ask the adults have you ever thought about the difference in clothing between the Yuanren and the tribes?"

"What do you mean?"

"My lord, since we have made the soldiers wear the costumes of the Yuanren, it is better to spend more effort on this." Xu Feng smiled slyly.

Going the extra mile? What do you mean? Shi Bin didn't understand.

"My lord, what if we disguise ourselves as Korqin people to attack the Chahatai Division, or disguise ourselves as Jurchens to attack the Ordos Division?" Xu Feng said.

It turned out that he was going to engage in a counter-plot, and a smile appeared on Shi Bin's face after hearing this. So he ordered to postpone the departure for another ten days, and told Wang Lixin the reason. After hearing this, Wang Lixin also agreed very much, and praised Feng is Xiao Zhuge .

As soon as the ten-day period arrived, everything was done again, Shi Bin and Wang Lixin led their troops across the Yellow River, and dressed as Yuan people from Yanmen into the territory of Yuan people.
