Chapter 032: Plan and then Act
The late autumn night has long since ceased to be like the spring and summer season, and only the unknown strange birds in the mountains and forests seem to be like ghosts crying at night, occasionally or calling a few times, floating in the secluded valley, infiltrating people.
The towering ancient trees towered into the sky, and the only little starlight in the sky was dimmed, and the valley was almost impossible to see.
At this moment, the army lasted nearly two hours and finally arrived at the assembly place quietly, and Cao Jin led fifty scouts who were already waiting here.
"How's it going?" As soon as he got off the horse, Qin Shen immediately asked impatiently.
"Evil door! This time the Huns are not as good as in the past, the camp is very orderly, the scouts released more than ten miles not to mention, the camp outside the horse pit, tripping horses, horses and other things are also readily available, and the guards are also extremely strict. ”
After listening to his complaints, Qin Shen was silent for a moment and said lightly: "In this way, you led dozens of people to be busy for a long time, but in the end you got nothing?" ”
"How can I be, don't look at who I am......" Although months of killing made Qin Shen's words naturally contain an awe-inspiring chill, but Cao Jin didn't eat this, and he still didn't have a serious face.
It's just that when he was halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt that the cold gaze condensed on himself was not slightly reduced by half because of his gags, but became more and more intense, making him feel uncomfortable and suddenly remembered that his generals were ordinary even if they called brothers and sisters, laughed and scolded, but they were extremely serious in business, so they hurriedly put away their smiling faces and said in a straight voice: "These are all old scouts in the army, experienced, I not only found out where the Huns' grain and grass were heavy, but also picked out a safe route from the armament." ”
Old fritters, what a lack of beating! Qin Shen quietly retracted his gaze, and said directly without any superfluous nonsense: "Take a picture and take a look." ”
Yan Yan reached out and took the sheepskin drawn by Cao Jin from his arms, which was based on all the scout information, and looked at it in front of him through the extremely dim night.
The drawing is rough and simple, but the lines are heavy and powerful, and the situation of the Xiongnu defense in the Half Moon Valley is concisely drawn one by one, so that people can see it at a glance with only a little light, and they can't help but praise secretly in their hearts, and nod their heads: "There are indeed some rules, but they are not without loopholes, and the camp is even more disorganized." ”
"That is, the Huns have a simple head, how can they learn the essence of our Central Plains, it's just a joke in vain for a toddler in Handan." After only half a moment, Cao Jin returned to his hippie smiling face.
Qin Shen shook his head disappreciatively, and said with his own opinion: "The chaos in the camp is not because the commander is incompetent, but because the Huns have always been accustomed to living in tribes, we must not despise this person because of this, if we give him some time to integrate the tribes and train them, I am afraid that I am a strong enemy in the Central Plains, can I find out the origin of this person?" ”
"Not really." Cao Jin glanced at him cautiously and added: "However, combined with all the information, the other party is very likely to be Luan Tigao Tuang, the second son of Xiongnu Shan Yu." ”
"Luan Tigao Tu Ang? What the hell is this name? Qin Shen frowned, searching for the name in his mind, but found nothing.
"Hehe, the general doesn't know, Luan Ti is the surname of the Xiongnu, as for Gao Tuang, I think it should have some special meaning." Cao Jin explained slightly, and then said with emotion: "The Xiongnu are like this, the name is always weird, just like the name of the Xiongnu, in terms of our Central Plains, if it is not a humble status, who wants to call themselves slaves?" Another example is that the Huns are only in the self-proclaimed capital and the corpse is in the same way, if we understand it in the Central Plains, it is to sleep in the capital and become a corpse, the Tao is very high but so low, isn't this all cursing yourself? ”
Disturbed by his nonsense, Qin Shen laughed and laughed, but he also felt that his nerves were no longer as tight as before, so he was no longer entangled in the fact that he had no impression of Gao Tuang, and glanced at him with a strange smell in the dark, and pretended to reprimand: "Flim tongue!" What's on your mind? But ......"
"It makes sense."
laughed and scolded both praises and deprecations, put aside the other party who was smug and smirked, and turned to Qu Han to ask about the arrangements in the army.
"According to your instructions, everything is arranged, each team has a torch and a barrel of oil, and the four of them are responsible for shooting two rockets in their hands, but ......" Qu Han hesitated slightly, and said with worry: "It's just that it is difficult to go well during the attack." ”
Qin Shen understood what he meant, but he had no countermeasures for this kind of thing that purely tested the will and endurance of the soldiers, so he had to say: "This can only do your best, Brother Qu will go and tell the brothers later to throw out the fire oil in turn to ignite it, remember not to throw it all out because of panic, just wait for the front army to throw out the fire oil and be responsible for the killing, and the people in the back team have a lot of opportunities." ”
Yan Yan took advantage of Qu Han's nodding and promise to think for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "What I'm worried about now is, how to hide my whereabouts so as not to be discovered by the Hun scouts?" ”
After hearing his doubts, several people suddenly fell silent, and even Cao Jin put away his smiling face and scratched his head and cheeks.
The prerequisite for a lone army to go deep into the enemy camp was to take it by surprise, but the Huns were obviously prepared, and scouts, traps, and guards were all arranged.
If a slow man with a horse and a horse and feet wants to sneak to a position where he can launch a surprise attack, it may be possible for a few people, but it is actually difficult for a cavalry of more than a thousand people to reach the position quietly without being detected in the presence of scouts.
And if you rush early, under the sound of rolling horses' hooves, I am afraid it will not be called a surprise attack but an attack.
Thousand five horsemen attacked more than 20,000 Huns, what is the difference between this and looking for death?
After a seemingly long period of thought, just when a few people were at a loss, Qu Han said helplessly: "Since you can't do anything, you have to ...... it."
"I have a way!" Qin Shen suddenly raised his head to interrupt, looking at the shining gazes cast by several people in the darkness and muttered: "What we are worried about is nothing more than that it is inconvenient if it is far away, and it is easy to appear when it is close, even if we can launch an attack from a little distance to ensure that it will arrive instantly, and even if the Huns know it a moment in advance, they will not have time to take care of it at all, then our worries will naturally be solved." ”
"Will the plan be released?" Cao Jin is always so impatient.
Qin Shen secretly took a long breath to suppress the agitation in his heart, and said the final answer that was buried deep in his heart and still had no results after working together: "The inside should be together!" ”
"Inside and outside?" Several people were surprised and asked in a suspicious voice.
Qin Shen nodded lightly with an "um", and was about to open his mouth to explain-
"Could it be that General Fei has an internal response in the Hun camp?" Cao Jin presumptuously took the first step to ask, and then felt the strange atmosphere around him, scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Hehe, I just saw that you were thinking a little dull just now, so I ......"
said that he felt that it was difficult to justify himself and that his words were convincing, so he hurriedly shook off his burden: "Let's talk about the general." ”
Qin Shen glanced at him and wrote lightly: "Actually, it's very simple, as long as I sneak into the enemy camp first and light the baggage ......."
"No! The baggage is in the innermost layer, which is no different from sending to death! Cao Jin was really anxious this time, and immediately interrupted without waiting for the other party to finish speaking.
"Listen to me!" Qin Shen shouted softly, and after suppressing Cao Jin, who opened his mouth and wanted to speak again, with undoubted might, he continued: "When the time comes, I will light the baggage, and we will take the fire as the number, and take advantage of the temporary civil strife of the Huns to lead the army to rush over, and it will be done, and if it is impossible in the end, we will have no other losses." ”
Several people were silent when they heard it, and Cao Jin looked angry, in order to express his extreme dissatisfaction with his insistence on going his own way and not listening to his own dissuasion.
In fact, they didn't think about this method before, but the process was too difficult just to think about it, so they didn't think deeply, and at this moment they heard him want to put it into action, and they didn't know what to say for a while, but they also thought in their hearts: Isn't your loss a loss? And if there is no commander in the army, what can be a greater loss than this?
After a while, Qu Han took the lead in breaking the silence and said lightly: "Since Brother Qin has made such a decision, and you are the commander of the first army, it is really not appropriate to take such a big risk, I don't think it is better for me to go, after all, my skills are better than yours." ”
"I'll go!"
"I'll go!"
“……”
"Do you want all five of them to abandon their horses?" In the face of several people rushing to volunteer, Qin Shen felt warm in his heart, and reprimanded him in a low voice without hesitation.
Later, seeing that a few people finally stopped, Fu was relieved again: "Brother Qu, don't you know the results of the hard training in the past two months?" Besides, this is the following suggestion, and it should be carried out by me, and besides, there are only a few people in the army who are better qualified, and you will have to be responsible for cleaning up the other party's scouts while you wait outside the camp. ”
After a pause, he said: "Besides, Half Moon Valley has come down a few times, and the terrain is the most familiar, if you wait, I'm afraid you will be discovered before you touch the place." ”
This is not all words of relief, in the past two months, he has also taken the time to walk around the large and small mountain ranges around Wuquan, and the Half Moon Valley has indeed been here, and because when he explored, he always felt that this place seemed to be very similar to a place in his memory and went through the investigation, although it was difficult to confirm in the end, but it also made the situation in the entire valley clear.
After listening to his calm analysis silently, Qu Han also knew that the use of troops could not be based on his will alone, and muttered: "Since Brother Qin insists on going in person, how about Qu going with you?" In this way, it is good to take care of each other, and there are Xue Yu and Brother Cao and others outside the camp to take care of them, so it is expected that there should be nothing to do. ”
Qin Shen pondered slightly, nodded and said, "That's good, it should be foolproof to have Brother Qu as a companion." ”
Seeing that the two of them had completely settled the matter in just a few words, Cao Jin stood aside and sighed helplessly, but he also knew that with Qu Han's skills, he could minimize the danger, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "Since the general has decided, I won't say more, but I still have a question, how will the two of us meet at that time?" ”
"Bring charcoal."
Taking the charcoal pen handed over, Qin Shen drew an arc route based on a simple drawing, and pointed: "When the time comes, you will rush in according to this route, Brother Qu and I will wait around here, and as for the horses, we will look for them in the camp by ourselves......"
After a slight pause, he advised: "You tell everyone to give me a brighter eye when you get here, and don't kill us two by mistake." ”
"How could that be! Shoot our own commander, then don't we all have to bury the general. Cao Jin replied grinningly.
"If you know! I don't want to die yet, and I don't want to die at the hands of my own people. Qin Shen reiterated again uneasily, and after speaking, he subconsciously raised his hand and looked at his wrist, found that it was wrong and estimated it in his heart, and asked: "It shouldn't be the time yet, right?" ”
"Almost."
That's the bad thing about not having a watch! Qin Shen sighed and explained the follow-up matters to a few more people.
