Chapter 647: Operation Deer Hunt

Zong Ze dismounted and carefully observed the situation at the scene, then pointed to the corpses of the children and sighed: "The people of the Western Xia Kingdom know that the women of our country are extremely chaste, and many of them would rather die than obey, so they threatened the lives of children to force them to obey, but after they got their hands on them, they killed all these children, and this kind of beastly behavior can only be done by them." ”

When everyone heard this, they added fuel to the fire and were furious, and then Zong Ze's eyes flashed with a cold light and continued: "Don't underestimate this gang of bandits, they are all natural hunters, and they are very good at creating traps to capture fighters, they left this scene of torture on the one hand to deter the people, on the other hand, it is also to deliberately provoke us, and then we will desperately pursue them along their horseshoe prints, and then they will ambush us somewhere, which is also their usual method, Many of my colleagues and subordinates have suffered this loss before. ”

Du Jia nodded: "It is really the luck of our Tang Kingdom to have the old general of the sect with us on this trip, this group of Western Xia barbarians is too arrogant, just take the lives of these people to beat the drum of our march this time." ”

Du Jia's words are not to compliment Zong Ze, it is true that the Western Xia Kingdom is a completely strange opponent to them, and it is in a strange place, so having an "old horse" like Zong Ze in the team really helps a lot, with Zong Ze's reminder Du Jia carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and then looked into the distance along the messy horseshoe prints left by the gang, only to see that there were two hills a few miles away, which looked extremely abrupt in the terrain surrounded by plains.

Ambush is originally Du Jia's favorite tactic, so his understanding of this aspect is naturally very deep, just like a good detective must be a clever thief if he is a thief, and vice versa, Du Jia can see at a glance that this is an extremely suitable place for ambushes, and there is no better point than this for more than ten miles around, if that group of Xixia Liukou plans to do it, it must be there.

Du Jia immediately pointed to that place and said to the generals: "General Zong said that these Western Xia bandits have the habit of sneaking up in the places where they have been harmed, if I am not mistaken, they should be there at this time, judging from the traces of the scene, they should have about a thousand people, so we will inevitably startle the grass and snakes if there are too many people, so let's do it, General Qin, you take a thousand people and pretend to pursue the enemy and follow their horseshoe prints to move forward, but to control the speed, your task is only to attract the enemy's attention."

Then Shi Jin and Xu Ning's two generals each took a thousand people from the left and right sides to outflank the past, the target is behind the two hills, if there is no one there, it will be enough, if there is an enemy army to attack immediately, remember to leave more alive if possible, let them die on the battlefield It is too cheap for them, and later catch some people who came to pay tribute to the people who died here. ”

The generals were a little strange at first when they heard that they were alive, and in their opinion, what else could they forgive these bloody butchers? Hearing this, it suddenly dawned on him, Xu Ning and Shi Jin took the order together, and then took a group of people and horses to fly around in a huge arc, and then Qin Ming led the army to set off a moment later, pretending to chase towards the middle of the hill.

It is said that last night the attack on this village was the same people under the command of Nachamur, led by two brothers, the elder brother is called to break away from the flower, the younger brother is called to break away from the fight, originally the Western Xia Kingdom has studied Han culture over the years, and their lord has also changed from the original 'Yuan' surname to 'Li', and the rest of the clans have also changed their Han surnames.

But there are also some diehards who refuse to change, in their opinion their original surname is the most noble, and changing the name is a betrayal of their ancestors, so they still use the original surname, and in addition to the habits of life are also the same, and Chamur is an important figure in this faction, and the people under his command are similar.

They had a big battle with Gao Yu's team before, although they won but also suffered losses, and the deeper they went into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they also found that the resistance began to increase, and no matter how large the army moved, some of the targets were too big, so Chamur divided the team into dozens of units, as few as 1,800 people, and as many as thousands, and then they moved freely, with only one goal - to plunder as much property and people as possible.

And the two brothers who "broke away" were very bold, and they were extremely contemptuous and vicious towards the Han people, so their team slammed all the way to the depth, and came to the border line of Yongzhou in just a few days, and then happened to meet that unknown small village.

The two brothers didn't even hesitate and directly ordered a raid, there were only a few hundred people here, and they were all flat-headed people, where was the opponent of this group of vicious wolves, and they were captured almost instantly.

Then he ordered the young men and the large horses, cattle, sheep, and livestock to be taken away, and the remaining chickens, ducks, and geese were all killed and eaten, and the old men and children were killed, and the women were insulted.

And what Zong Ze expected was not bad at all, they habitually stayed near a place that had been attacked for another three or five days, to see if they could use it as bait to hunt bigger prey - they called this "deer hunting" operation, and this time was no exception, and the two of them each brought half of the men and horses to ambush behind the two knolls, quietly waiting for any prey to appear.

I have to say that although the people of the Western Xia Kingdom are cruel and tyrannical, everyone is indeed a natural warrior, hundreds of people and horses are hiding there quietly, and no one is loud and noisy, and no one is walking around, which is why Du Jia's eyesight and judgment can predict their position in advance, and someone else is likely to be hit.

They were waiting, at this time, suddenly the sentry quietly made a gesture, indicating that there was prey hooked, the number of people was about 1,000 people, and the appearance was the southerners - just like the Han people in the Central Plains can only distinguish the ethnic minorities by their banners, they looked at the Han people were also similar, and they couldn't tell what the imperial army was or another force such as the Tang State, all of them were called southerners.

The two "detached" were immediately overjoyed, and they immediately ordered their subordinates to prepare for battle, and specially stated that they must be put into this group of 'deer' to attack again, and they must not be allowed to have a chance to escape, in their opinion, the weak Nan people can not be compared with themselves at all, and the same force is the first in the ambush, only by destroying them can they show their skills, but it is not enough to be wounded and killed half.

It's just that their attention was attracted by Qin Ming in front of them, and they didn't know that there was also a cavalry behind them that was raiding suddenly.
