Chapter 185: Blocking
The breeze was blowing through the reeds, swaying in all directions, and a feathered arrow whizzed by, just as it hit one of the people in the face, and before the companions next to them could react, several feathered arrows came from the flanks and shot them to the ground.

The only survivor turned and ran back, the sound of horses' hooves, and a cavalryman suddenly appeared in the reeds and chased after him, and when he saw that the pursuers were approaching, the man rolled on the ground to dodge.
With a snap, he was knocked to the ground by the cavalry with a wooden stick in his hand, endured the pain, got up and ran to the other side, but two legs could not run four legs, he was chased by the cavalry again, and fell to the ground with a wooden stick.
"Ahhh Howling in despair, he waved the dagger in his hand to dying, only to be knocked to the ground by the cavalry who turned his horse's head and rushed towards him, and fell to the ground on all fours.
The weapon in his hand did not know where it fell, and he tried to get up with his bare hands, but was grabbed by the cavalry, and then thrown to the ground violently, and so on several times like a cat playing with a mouse, he was thrown into a blue nose and swollen face, and he was no longer able to resist.
Several more horsemen came up to him, and the horsemen jumped off their horses and gagged him, tied his hands and feet, and then put them on his horse, and then rode his horse towards the north, and he looked helplessly at the few companions on the ground who had turned into cold corpses, and cried out in despair.
"Retrieve the arrows, and search again for anything valuable."
"Yes, Sima."
Zhang Dingfa commanded his subordinates to clean up the battlefield, looked around, except for the reeds or reeds, he put away his bow and arrows, walked to the side of the stream, bent down and scooped up a handful of water and put it in his mouth to taste it.
The water is sweet and refreshing and can be drunk.
Looking at the direction of the creek and the surrounding terrain, Zhang Dingfa turned back to the place where Fang Cai was captured, and saw that several of the dead were 'intact', and he asked: "Why, there is nothing worth collecting on these slang soldiers?" ”
"Sima, these people's clothes are shabby and smelly, they have a pair of broken straw sandals on their feet, and their knives are rusty and torn, and they have nothing else of value, so they can't take a gourd filled with water. Ouch, there's fleas on the head... I'll have to get a brush and take a shower when I go back! ”
"Less verbose! Be smart! ”
The group quickly evacuated and marched in the other direction, waiting for a moment at the agreed place, when another group approached.
also captured a slang soldier, the so-called "tongue", but this team of men and horses is different from Zhang Dingfa and others, neither the Zhou army, nor the guards of the Xiyang Palace.
When the leader saw Zhang Dingfa, he saluted and said, "Sima Zhang, the ears and eyes of the enemy over there have been cleared by us. ”
"Xiong Langjun, you did a good job."
Zhang Dingfa's answer was neither salty nor light, and seeing that it was almost afternoon, he signaled a few of his subordinates to set up a secret whistle on the periphery, and arranged for the others to start cooking on a fire, of course, making bamboo rice.
The rice has been packed in a bamboo tube, mixed with meat floss, ham slices, sausages and other accompaniments, put in an appropriate amount of water when cooking, you can take it to the bonfire to burn, this cooking method for scouts, this way of cooking, can not be more convenient.
As the Sima of Xiyang Palace, Zhang Dingfa and his royal guards followed the Xiyang King on the expedition, and their main job was to protect Yuwenwen, but the knife did not need to be easy to rust, so Yuwenwen sent them out from time to time to 'do things'.
That is, as a scout, as the eyes and ears of the army, scattered, spying on the military situation everywhere, preparing for the official army to sneak attack others, and at the same time to prevent others from sneaking up on the official army.
And Xiong Langjun, who 'went out on a mission' with Zhang Dingfa this time, is named Xiong Ji, and the team he led is the Xiong family's ministry, and Xiong Langjun and his party are members of the Proton Army in Jiangzhou, and they followed Xiyang Wang Yuwenwen into Lingnan to serve the officials and soldiers.
Since these people are in the army, of course Yuwenwen will not let them eat and drink for nothing, they must be used, but the usage is exquisite, and if they are used to siege the city and fill people's lives, it will not have a good impact, and it will be a waste of food to stay in the camp to guard the door, so Yuwenwen asked Zhang Dingfa to take these proton troops out as scouts.
"Xiong Langjun, have you ever been used to it in Lingnan?"
"Back to Zhang Sima, Xiong has also traveled to Lingnan many times, Lingnan water and soil, in fact, is not much different from Jiangzhou, we can get used to it."
After saying a few more words, Xiong Ji saw that Zhang Dingfa seemed to be relatively easy to speak, so he asked with some curiosity: "Zhang Sima, I'm waiting to lurk in this wilderness, intercepting and killing slang soldiers everywhere, don't you need to spy on the enemy?" ”
"Xiong Langjun, what do you think is the duty of a scout?"
"Well, it's to spy on the enemy, including the enemy's camping point, the direction of the grain route, the reality of the troops, and we have to find out the terrain, water sources, river directions, and so on in the area around the enemy and us."
"That's right, the scout is the eyes and ears of the army, and what the scout sees and hears in the eyes is what the commander sees and hears."
Zhang Dingfa knew that Yuwenwen wanted to make good use of these proton troops, so if he should let the other party know, he had to let the other party know that these family sisters-in-law were good at hunting eagle lackeys on weekdays, and it was perfect to be a scout.
"When the two armies are fighting, both sides will send scouts to spy on each other's realities, and there are many ways to spy on each other, but one of the best ways is to capture the other party's people and torture the military situation, that is, to catch the tongue, so that it is easier to understand the enemy's situation, isn't it?"
Xiong Ji nodded when he heard this, and after a moment, he was shocked: "Sima Zhang, in this way, the enemy army will also make up his mind about us?" ”
"Or else? You think scouts are so good? ”
Zhang Dingfa sneered, these powerful children of Jiangzhou probably haven't seen what a cruel war is, and they followed the official army to Lingnan to bully the fish belly Chen Jun or the slang soldiers, thinking that fighting a war is as easy as hunting.
"If the scout wants to spy on the enemy, he naturally has to scratch his tongue, and the other party's scout is the best target, but the enemy also has the same intention, so the hunter will also become the prey, and the prey will also become the hunter!"
"The soldiers who can be sent out as scouts are at least no worse than ordinary people, and their understanding of their own military situation is also better than that of ordinary soldiers.
"Therefore, when the scouts come out to spy on the military situation, they have to be more careful, don't be led into the trap, and when the time comes, they will be caught in the enemy camp, that is, they can't survive and die!"
"Uh, thank you Sima Zhang for mentioning it."
Xiong Ji thanked him again and again, during this time he came out with the trilogy as a scout to catch his tongue, and it couldn't be smoother, and he was really a little fluttery for a while, if it wasn't for Zhang Dingfa's words to remind him, sooner or later he would have turned over.
He was the proton of the family, and he followed the king of Xiyang to Lingnan, and there were many family protons with him, who also brought his own subordinates, and thought that the king of Xiyang would find a way to 'consume' them, but the result was that he was sent out as a scout, who could not only make meritorious contributions but would not be dragged to the siege of the city to fill in people's lives, which was a very suitable arrangement.
Every time everyone comes out, they can catch a lot of tongues and go back, Xiong Ji pondered whether it would be possible to accumulate over time, and he would be able to have a small official reward, so his opinion of King Xiyang has also changed a lot.
However, he still had questions: What is the king of Xiyang doing with so many tongues?
A faint fragrance came, which was the unique fragrance of the burned bamboo rice, and the group sat around the bonfire to eat the bamboo rice, while the secret whistle on the periphery continued to lurk to prevent someone from sneaking up.
Seeing Xiong Ji and the others eating bamboo rice with relish, Zhang Dingfa was a little absent-minded, he still hadn't finished speaking, but there was no need to tell these people, so he stayed in his stomach.
In fact, the scout has another duty, that is, to intercept and kill the enemy scout, that is, to destroy the eyes and ears of the enemy army, and create favorable conditions for their own victory.
In other words, Yu Wenwen said that the battlefield was blocked, so that the enemy army could not understand the situation of their own side at all, and became deaf and blind, while our army could grasp the movements of the other side.
This kind of idea is easier said than done, but now it has been realized, not to mention others, in this area of Zhang Dingfa's pipe, not a single mouse can escape his eyes, and Chen Jun's meticulous work and scouts can no longer approach the Zhou army's camp within ten miles.
When it comes to this, it's hard to win or not!
