"Steady, steady, the most important thing is to persevere! When shooting arrows, your arms must be steady, if your hands are shaking all the time, how can you shoot the enemy? Wei Meng held the hilt of his sword and urged the soldiers to conduct archery training on the cavalry training ground, each with a stone hanging from his arm.

Zhao Ziliang had just sent away King Pancheng of Shule, Princess Panzhu Junxiu and Xi Yunqing, and turned back to the camp, when Wei Meng saw it, he strode over and grabbed the reins, and asked, "Deputy Castle Lord, have you sent away King Shule and the princess?" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, jumped off the horse, and said to Wei Meng: "According to our analysis, if the army of the Turks wants to arrive here, there will be at least twelve days, during this time, we will not be busy withdrawing the camp for the time being, and we must seize all the time to practice, let the brothers practice basic archery today, and from tomorrow, we will focus on the practice of tactical tactics!" ”

"Yes!"

In order to prepare for this raid by the Turk Shi people, Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San to prepare enough grain and grass for emergencies, after all, when the war starts, no one can say how long it will take, and it is better to prepare more grain and grass.

After arranging everything, Zhao Ziliang strengthened his cultivation while studying how to deal with the 3,000 people who came from Tuqi Shi this time.

Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time, he decided to give the Tuqi Shi people a dismount first, this afternoon he received the news again in the inner line of the Tuqi Shi with a flying eagle, and found that the air humidity is very high today, and there are large dark clouds in the north are about to drift, inferred that there may be heavy rain at night, so he rode back to Tuoyun Fort overnight to meet Xi Yunqing.

Xi Yunqing was extremely surprised when he saw Zhao Ziliang coming late at night, and hurriedly brought him into the inner hall, "Ziliang, is there something urgent about you rushing back so late?" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up and came to the wall with an oil lamp and pointed to the map on the wall and said: "I received news in the afternoon, the 3,000 people of the Tuqishi have set off, the lord of the castle, please see, this is the Pearl River, the south bank of the river is the residence of the Hera tribe, the Hera tribe is just a very weak tribe of the Tuqishi, protected by the Ashi Jie, the population is less than 800, and the most soldiers can fight are not more than 200, and more than 70 people were killed by me and General Pan last time, if I lead a team of cavalry to raid the Hera tribe, destroy them, and then ambush on the south bank of the Pearl River, When the 3,000 cavalry of the Turgish suddenly crossed the river, the Turgish army would never have imagined that we would go deep into their hinterland, and we would definitely be able to kill him by surprise, even if our results were not great, we would be able to give them a dismount! ”

Xi Yunqing listened to Zhao Ziliang's plan, nodded and said: "This is a clever move, but we are a garrison army, and the number of cavalry is not large, and the second and third teams each have only one group of cavalry, adding up to only a hundred horses!" ”

Zhao Ziliang hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, castle master, the first team of more than 160 people on my side can now fight on horseback There are more than 100 horses, if you add the two groups of the second team and the third team, just make up 200 cavalry, I don't think it is as good as this, the first team of more than 50 infantry without horses outside will not play a big role, it is better to transfer them back to help defend the city, and hand over the 100 cavalry in the fort to his subordinates, today we set off overnight to the south bank of the Pearl River to raid the Hera tribe!" ”

The strength of the Hera tribe is not strong, Xi Yunqing knows it, there should be no problem with two hundred cavalry to raid, even if it is not successful, he believes that Zhao Ziliang will not suffer, after weighing it, he promised: "Okay, since you have the bottom in your heart, then do it, I will immediately inform Zhao Chongyu and Jia Chongjun, and let them hand over their cavalry to you to take away!" I'm not worried about you attacking the Hera tribe, but I'm worried about an accident when you attack the Turgish brigade, so you must be careful! ”

"Don't worry, Castle Master, I will be careful!"

Late that night, Zhao Ziliang took a hundred horsemen out of Tuoyun Fort to the Qingshui Lake camp, and joined the one hundred cavalry here, he first asked He to take fifty or sixty infantry to garrison the Qingshui Lake camp, and immediately after dawn the camp and evacuated from the lake, and cleaned up all traces, he took more than two hundred horsemen, each riding with five days of dry food, and set off overnight to the Hera tribe on the bank of the Pearl River.

The sky was overcast tonight, and it really rained heavily in the early hours of the morning, during the march, Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky, and laughed at Wei Meng beside him: "In the afternoon, I expected that there would be heavy rain at night, and now it is really raining, the rain is so heavy, the rangers of the Hera tribe must all go back to take shelter from the rain, God help me!" Send an order down and tell the soldiers to hold on, and we will have a good rest when the Hera tribe is annihilated."

Wei Meng was dumbfounded and muttered, "The deputy castle lord actually calculated that there was rain tonight, and he was really a god!" ”

Zhao Ziliang and others rode in the rain overnight, and arrived at about 4 o'clock in the morning on a hill on the periphery of the Hera tribe, where the Hera tribe lived, in the valley under the hill, with hills on three sides, and woods on the hills, and two miles to the north was the Pearl River.

The heavy rain was still falling, and Zhao Ziliang ordered Wei Meng and Huo Kan: "Order, everyone covers the horse's mouth with a rattan cage, no one is allowed to make a sound, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

"Yes!"

After taking everything to prepare, Zhao Ziliang ordered the whole army of 200 horsemen to quietly touch the camp of the Hera tribe, from the time they appeared from the woods on the hill, it was less than two hundred meters away from the camp of the Hera tribe, and there was a guard tower on the side of the camp, on which there were guards.

Zhao Ziliang rode on horseback, took out a horned bow, took out an arrow, aimed it at the person on the watchtower, and shot it, with a "whoosh", it hit the chest of the sentry man, and the sentry fell on the guardrail of the sentry tower.

Zhao Ziliang raised his right hand and waved, and the whole army continued to move forward slowly, trying not to make a sound.

When it comes to the nearest distance, as long as you ride a horse and rush down, you can rush to the camp of the Hera tribe within a few seconds, Zhao Ziliang said to Huo Kan: "After rushing down, you take a few people to rush directly to the stable, cut off the guardrail, let go of all the horses, and when we go back after dawn, without horses, the people of the Hera tribe will become lambs to be slaughtered!" ”

Huo Kan arched his hand and said, "Understood! ”

Zhao Ziliang picked up the horse lance and pointed to the camp of the Hera tribe under the hill, and shouted: "Soldiers, kill with me-"

"Kill—" More than two hundred horsemen rode together and rushed down the hill.

It was only a distance of more than a hundred meters from the hill to the camp, and Zhao Ziliang and the others still attacked condescendingly, and the speed of the war horse ran, and it only took a few seconds to rush into the camp.

"Kill—"

The earth-shattering shouts woke up the men, women and children of the Hera tribe who were sleeping, but at this time it was the most sleepy time, the weather was cold, and it was raining heavily outside, and the people of the Hera tribe had no time to react, and many people were killed by waves of arrows as soon as they ran out of the tent.

At a short distance of more than 100 meters, Zhao Ziliang commanded the cavalry to shoot four waves of arrows, and after rushing into the camp, the corpses of the Hera tribesmen had already fallen to the ground.

The rumbling and shouting of the horses scattered the entire camp, and the horses ran past, muddy and bloody splashes intertwined.

Zhao Ziliang led the cavalry to rush back and forth in the camp, and the horse lance in his hand sent out afterimages to harvest the lives of the Hera tribesmen, and the heads were cut off to the ground.

After killing four times in a row, the armor on Zhao Ziliang's body had been dyed red by blood, and it was washed away by the rain, and then it was washed clean by the rain again after being dyed red by the blood.
