Chapter 492: Trapping

Bi Wenxin was drinking with the pheasants from his subordinates, when suddenly, Bi Wenxin muttered, "Damn, it's not safe to eat something." What's wrong? ”

The soldiers immediately went to inquire, and soon after they reported that a caravan was attacked more than ten miles away, swept away, and all of them died. When I first saw the fire, the camp sent people to take a look, thinking that there was a fire somewhere, and it should be nothing serious, so I didn't ask Bi Wenxin for instructions. But when they got to the ground, they found that something was wrong, and the caravan was slaughtered and all the belongings were looted. The bandits who attacked the caravan were suspicious, but they fled southwest.

When Bi Wenxin heard this, his brows furrowed, there was a horse gang more than ten miles away from their camp that dared to attack the caravan? Twenty miles of land are all within their patrol range. Although the patrol is not very serious now, that is, a few sergeants pull out and walk around, most of them will not really run as far as twenty miles. But after all, this is their big camp, and I haven't heard of anyone who is so bold as to dare to come and beg for a living under their noses. And now that they're here, it's even more remarkable that they've been able to finish the battle and clean up the battlefield and evacuate without a trace before their men arrive. Bi Wenxin really couldn't think of who it was for a while.

If you want to say that the horse gangs and bandits in the north are rampant, there are only a few that can be counted, and most of them are registered with him, and they will not invade the caravans he has in Baoding at will, and he will turn a blind eye to those obedient bandits, and sometimes even instruct them to attack some people. Thinking of this, Bi Wenxin felt strange, Northern Liao is in a bad situation now, isn't it that the master began to prepare for his own things to avoid trouble?

After Bi Wenxin thought about it, he ordered his soldiers: "Let Li Haozi take someone to take a look...... No, forget it, I'll go in person. ”

When Bi Wenxin came to the scene, the situation he saw became more and more confusing. The quality of this gang of bandits is really high. The attack was clean and fierce, but the evacuation was very crisp, and the few boxes that had not been removed were neatly piled aside.

Bi Wenxin glanced at the contents of the box and immediately shouted that it was not good. He had seen something like this two months ago, when his old friend Gushan Garrison Tian Duo had a large number of medicinal herbs from the northeast procured, including this precious medicinal herb Tianlin Cao, which was carefully packaged with a small piece of cotton cloth and a little bit of root soil. Just such a box, requisitioned from the locals cost more than 300 taels of silver, which is also the most expensive thing that can be sold in the local area. He also wrote to Tian Duo at that time to ask what this was all about, and why he had never heard of such a thing before. Tian Duo said that it was his backer playing alchemy. Bi Wenxin smiled, and then didn't ask about it again.

And here's where a box of this thing appears...... Could it be that the lord came to buy it again? They don't usually pay much attention to this kind of thing, at most, they just provide a little convenience when they know about it.

"General, there are silk and other medicinal herbs in the thing, as well as ...... Here's a letter. ”

Bi Wenxin took the letter casually, glanced at it, and sure enough, he couldn't get rid of the adult, but after reading it, he was drenched in cold sweat. Through these people who purchased medicinal herbs, those tribal rabbit cubs actually complained to the adult, describing many of Bi Wenxin's sufferings of oppressing them. In addition, they naturally attached heavy gifts. Seeing the detailed gift list, Bi Wenxin snorted, it turns out that the rabbit cubs of the tribe are so rich, look at this money falling into my hands, what do you use to deal with Lao Tzu. Bi Wenxin casually crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it in the fire. "Li Haozi, you bring five hundred people, follow me first. Destroy them for me. They took a lot of good goods, and they went back and took half of them out and gave them to their brothers. ”

The greedy light in Li Haozi's eyes flashed, and he immediately went to pull the team. Bi Wenxin felt that although the other party was well-trained, the number should not be large. At least judging by the traces of their march. Five hundred people should be more than enough. Unexpectedly, a day later, an old horse brought back the head of Li Haozi. Now Bi Wenxin is also ruthless, no one dares to do this to him. Moreover, he relied on a temperament and a large amount of money to ensure the loyalty of the army in his hands, if he didn't avenge his subordinates, who would listen to him in the future. Li Haozi was able to catch up with the intermittent traces so quickly, which showed that the opponent's marching speed was not so fast, and the combat effectiveness might be really strong. Cautiously, Bi Wenxin actually ordered 10,000 soldiers to go into battle, which made everyone feel his determination to take revenge.

And after Bi Wenxin left, not far from the camp, a scout of the Frost Wolf Army quietly released a harrier eagle from the hole in the tree.

The ransacked caravan was naturally arranged by Chi Lei. Scouts always come across enemies who are cautiously huddled in their nests and don't want to come out, and unless they can be tempted enough, there is absolutely no place to talk. Analyzing what could attract enemies from what was previously captured, forging letters and other evidence, and so on, is now the standard course for scouts, and it is the favorite course for most soldiers. In their army, there are quite a few masters of falsifying scenes and evidence. Even the Intelligence Bureau wants to borrow people from them.

And Bi Wenxin led 10,000 horses to attack, which proved that their previous deployment was fully effective. And now, apart from keeping an eye on the situation on the side of the camp, they only have to wait for good news.

It took Bi Wenxin six hours to arrive at the site where a fierce battle had taken place, and five hundred soldiers under his command were lying on the battlefield. The other party obviously didn't want to dig a pit and bury it, and the disposal of this kind of violent corpse wilderness made the soldiers under his command indignant. But the other party is a bandit, can you still reason with them?

Bi Wenxin didn't know that just as he had cleared the battlefield and started to move on, he had already entered the encirclement carefully arranged by Tan Weiran and Chi Lei.

"Chi Lei, are you ready to do it?" Tan Weiran asked.

"Your Highness, just wait a minute. You leave the archers untouched, and leave them to chase and search later. Chi Lei asked, "Look, do you want to leave a battalion as a reserve?" ”

Tan Weiran smiled and said, "Isn't one archer battalion enough?" How come the more sophisticated you are, the less timid you are? Tan Weiran looked at Bi Wenxin's loose formation and messy weapons in the telescope, and said: "Our style of play is already extremely cautious. Here are 10,000 people, and it's easy to eat them. I know you said you should sacrifice as little as possible brothers, but, brother, we are at war after all. Moreover, as long as the battlefield is wide enough to spread, the losses of a large number of troops at one time are definitely smaller than those of gradual investment. You can rest assured. ”

Chi Lei smiled and said, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

When the scout cavalry has been going on for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be various habits. The scout cavalry was the most courageous to sacrifice, but they were also the most cautious and cautious, lest they die. You must know that an excellent scout cavalry is not so easy to train, in addition to the basic combat skills, there are also a lot of reconnaissance, concealment, liaison, lurking, mapping, medicine, botany, mineralogy, etc., training a qualified scout cavalry is more expensive than any other branch of the army.

Bi Wenxin felt a little strange, judging from the traces left on the ground, the other party should have a team of about 2,000 people, but now that he was tracking it, he intuitively felt that it was a bit dangerous. They were in a wasteland, and although the terrain was undulating, it was not dangerous, but for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong. It's too quiet, it's too quiet...... Were there no animals in this land? Suddenly, Bi Wenxin understood that he had been ambushed...... Although he didn't know who the enemy really was, since he dared to ambush him, he naturally had some support.

Tan Weiran saw it in his eyes, sighed and said, "I was discovered." Do it. ”

An orange flare flew into the air. Then, Bi Wenxin's department immediately heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves all around, and their faces turned pale when they heard the sound, there were so many enemies, it was obviously impossible to be a bandit. However, how could the Dongping army appear here? And why did they come here?

The troops brought by Tan Weiran and Chi Lei did not focus on attacking fortifications, but strictly implemented the previous strategy...... Riding and shooting. Needless to say, the large number of tribal warriors in Jingyun Cavalry may not be the same, but in the face of such a large number of enemies, it is strange that they can't miss. They appeared in different directions, rushed forward and then shot arrows in batches piece by piece, after which they quickly turned around and retreated. Bi Wenxin wanted to rush forward with his troops, but found that the other party didn't want to engage in battle at all, so he immediately retreated. But when they rush too far from their side in a few directions, and break away from the large army slightly, there will be troops on both flanks immediately, completely cutting off this small piece of the enemy from Bi Wenxin's own team, and then gathering and annihilating it. After a few back and forth, in less than half an hour, Bi Wenxin's 10,000 people were left with only 3,000. Bi Wenxin organized a breakthrough several times, but the other party actually let him attack, as long as his team was elongated, they would cut off the fragments and annihilate, and Bi Wenxin couldn't get rid of the pursuit no matter how far he rushed. The war horses used by the two armies of the frost wolf and silver wings are all one in a hundred, and those officers have many thousands of horses in a thousand miles or even rarer under their crotches. As for Jingyun Cavalry, a troop dominated by tribal cavalry, not to mention, the soldiers have countless ways to make their horses run fast and jump high, not to mention that on this kind of battlefield, the Dongping army is all mounts of war horse blood, but they are very excited.

Bi Wenxin ran desperately regardless of it, and he finally saw the place where Li Haozi under his command died yesterday, but he immediately despaired. There, there was a neat column of cavalry, standing silently and waiting.
