Chapter 52: Snowy Night Raid
At this time, the generals had already gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army.
"Sneak attack, take them by surprise, that's our only way of thinking." Huang Zhong said: "Otherwise, we will not be their opponents." ”
"What do you mean, sir?" Liu He looked frustrated.
"There's nothing else to do."
The next day, more than 1,000 veterans of the capture camp were gathered, two jobs a day, and meat was added, and the daily drills were also very strict.
Everything was ready for the capture camp, just waiting for Xu Rong and Han Meng to come back.
Five days later, Xu Rong and Han Meng returned from Baicaoze, and despite the fatigue of the two, Liu He immediately summoned everyone to his big tent.
"My lord, on the other side is the Golden Eagle Tribe I mentioned earlier, there are a thousand tents, and they can recruit 2,000 cavalry, and their entire tribe is more than 14,000 people." Han Meng said.
"How can there be so many people in a thousand tents?" Liu Heqi said.
"Slaves, a large number of slaves, the golden eagle tribe that killed this day has participated in several invasions, made a fortune, and captured thousands of slaves!" Xu Rong gritted his teeth and said.
"What a livestock! Destroy this guy! Guan Yu smashed it down, slamming the desk in front of Liu He, looking at Liu He's annoyed gaze, he couldn't help but withdraw his hand.
"There's good news." Han Meng said.
"What's the news?"
"Brandy, Rongdi's Brandy." Han Meng laughed.
"Brandy?" Most people don't know what kind of holiday it is.
"Brandy is the biggest festival in Rongdi. Well, it's about the same as our New Year. At this time, Wen Han explained.
"After we infiltrated the Golden Eagle Tribe, I heard that Rong Di was going to celebrate the Brandy Festival this time, so that the leaders of all the tribes would go to Rong Di's Dragon City, and the chiefs of the Golden Eagle Tribe would also go."
Liu He's eyes lit up: "This means that this guy will take away a lot of soldiers?" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Han Meng said, "At least this chief will take the most elite big tent soldiers, so that it will be much easier for us to do it." ”
Liu He said with a smile: "God help me, presumably this golden eagle tribe is also going to have this Brandy Festival." By the way, how many days are left until Brandy? ”
Han Meng said: "Six days, I think that the chief left the tribe is a matter of the past few days." ”
"Well, on the day of the Brandy Festival, we launched an attack on the Golden Eagle Tribe on time, and in this battle, we must not only win, but also win neatly, and minimize the losses. Let's all go down and prepare. Liu He said excitedly.
Liu He looked at Zou Jing, Liu Bei, Jian Yong, and Wen Han again: "Xianhe, we took away all the veterans this time, and Qingzhuang also took some of them, and the old camp here will trouble you and Zibo to appease, don't make any trouble." Sui'an and Xuande brought 300 people to respond. ”
Jian Yong and Wen Han nodded and said: "Don't worry, this lord is here, there will be no chaos, but these young men used to be farmers, can they be used on the battlefield?" ”
Liu He shook his head: "This time I don't need them to go to the battlefield, I will take them, one is to let them see the blood and see what the battlefield is like, and the other is to let them move things, you know, the Golden Eagle Tribe has robbed us of a lot of things, and if you want to move back, you need a lot of manpower?" ”
Jian Yong and the others couldn't help laughing, "Okay, I wish the lord a successful return first." ”
Liu He laughed: "I borrowed your auspicious words, tomorrow we are ready to leave, the army will arrive at the attack outpost the day before the Bailan Festival, and Bo Yu has found a hiding place." Sui'an, Xuande, you are going to find a place to load things. ”
"Mr. Fu?" Liu He turned to frustration.
"Childe, I'll go with you this time." Frustrated with a smile, "Gongzi Zeng Yan why don't scholars bring Wu Hook, this time I also want to see the bloody wind on the battlefield!" ”
Liu He smiled: "It's okay, there is a gentleman planning by my side, but it is a big success." ”
In the early hours of the morning, a group of soldiers began to drive out, leaving Baitan Town, the town was quiet, Liu He and Fu gave everyone the excuse that they were begging for the battalion to train the soldiers, and they would be driven to the nearby mountains for a ten-year exercise, and everyone watched the team disappear into the early morning without shock.
And the town began a day of hustle and bustle, only Jian Yong couldn't help but be a little worried and swollen, suffering from gains and losses.
Six days later, the Brandy Festival, the Golden Eagle Tribe entered the festive atmosphere early, the old chief Tuoba Rusher was called to Dragon City by the great chief, the Golden Eagle Tribe's Brandy Festival was presided over by Tuoba Sibei, the eldest son of Tuoba Sibei, this is also the first time Tuoba Sibei presided over such a big festival, he held his breath and wanted to do this grand festival well, at least better than last year, because last year was presided over by his younger brother Tuoba Sinan.
At present, the battle for the heir of the Golden Eagle tribe has reached a critical moment, Father likes Tuoba Sinan, this is something that everyone knows, there are not a few people in the tribe who hold Tuoba Sinan's stinky feet, but Tuoba Sibei is bigger than his younger brother in the last round, but there are many supporters in the tribe, and now the two factions are chess opponents, and no one can suppress anyone.
"Damn little cub!" Tuoba Sibei scolded hatefully in his heart, this time Father went to Dragon City to bring his younger brother, that kid can show his face in front of the big leader, if the big leader approves of him, he will have no fun.
"I hope that the heavens will bless you, and it is best for Tuoba Sinan to lose his hooves and fall to death!" Getting up early in the morning, Tuoba Sibei first silently made a wish to Changshengtian, and then ran out like a gust of wind and began to arrange this year's Brandy Festival.
This year is a good year, not only the wind and rain are smooth, the livestock has increased a lot, and follow the big leader to attack the Han Shanggu, Daijun, the harvest is very rich, the tents of the nobles of the entire Golden Eagle tribe are full of looted goods, and thousands of captured slaves.
Tuoba Sibei's gaze fell on those slaves with chains on their feet: "The women of the Han Dynasty are indeed much more beautiful than the women on the grassland, even if they are the nobles of the tribe, there is inevitably a smell on their bodies, but these women of the Han Dynasty are all coquettish, and they are snatched back and washed, which can really make people dazzled." ”
Thinking that these Tuoba Sibei were a little hot, among the thousands of slaves snatched back this time, women accounted for the vast majority, and most of them were distributed to the warriors in the tribe, presumably there will be a lot of cubs in the tribe tomorrow.
Then he happily thought that as long as there were people, the tribe would always be able to thrive. After today's Brandy Festival, when I return to the tent, I have to do a good job of those big Han women, strive to sow seeds, and make my vein and blood prosperous, as soon as I think of this, Tuoba Sibei suddenly feels full of energy, maybe it won't be long before the Golden Eagle Tribe will become a powerful tribe, not the appearance in front of me.
Suddenly his face was cold, and Tuoba Sibei stretched out his hand, but it began to float subtle snowflakes: "This year's snow came so early, this is really a good sign!" Sticking out his tongue to lick the coldness on his hands, "Thanks to the Immortal Heaven and the wise Great Leader, the Golden Eagle Tribe can lie in the tent in peace this winter and sow the seeds of the tribe's prosperity." ”
As night fell, the snow was falling a little heavier, the bonfires of the Golden Eagle tribe were blazing one after another, each tent had brought out its own wine, the whole sheep were stripped of their fur and were roasting on the fire, groups of herdsmen were dancing around the bonfire, the tribal sacrifices were making final preparations, and the Brandy Festival was about to begin.
In the darkness of the camp, the groups of slaves chained with blank faces and empty eyes looked at the dark sky, this happy festival had no meaning to them.
About ten miles away from the Golden Eagle Tribe's camp, an army was standing quietly, without a sound, without a single commotion, the snowflakes fell on their armor, and then turned into rain and flowed down, in front of them, Liu He quietly stared at the bright fire not far away, in the dark night, the firelight was like a target, quietly indicating the target of his attack this time.
"Childe, wait a little longer, when they return to sleep and go to sleep, it will be the time for us to attack." He whispered.
