"My lord, I found traces of the Turkic camp a hundred miles to the west."

After six days of trekking, Pan Xiaogu with 2,500 cavalry came to the edge of the Wuhe Basin, but found no trace of the Turkic camp, several Turkic guides said that the camp had retreated after receiving the news, but Pan Xiaogu did not believe in evil, he ordered people to cut down those dishonest guides, sent sentinels around, and finally received a report when it was close to dusk.

"In what place? Show me! Pan Xiaogu spread out a map of the Five Rivers Valley provided by Tang Jun.

This sentry was a member of the teaching group, and he had learned basic map recognition skills from Pan Xiaogu, so he stepped forward to identify it on the map and pointed to a point on the map

"Camp on the edge of this little lake, with your back to the woods."

Pan Xiaogu looked at the map carefully and found that the lake was the only nearby source of water that could supply the brigade, and if he was a Turk, he would have chosen to camp there.

"Made! I knew that those Turks were unreliable, so I ordered to go down and kill the remaining guides, and dared to deceive Lao Tzu! ”

Pan Xiaogu was angry for a while, and then continued to ask

"What's going on in the Turkic camp, and is there any change?"

"The camp is very calm and there is no movement, and my subordinates feel that the Turks in the camp should not have received the news of the defeat of the Gilikreh." As a quasi-officer from the teaching team, he has developed the habit of independent thinking.

"Why do you think so?" Pan Xiaogu knew that he was only a second sword, so he attached great importance to relying on the wisdom of others.

"When the subordinates reconnoitred, they found that the Turks grazing near the camp were old people, children and women, and the adults had said that the nomads regarded women and children as the most valuable wealth of the tribe, and if they received the news of the defeat, they would definitely be busy transferring, and it was impossible to let the women and children leave the camp to graze outside."

After listening to the analysis of the sentry rider, Pan Xiaogu nodded in agreement.

"You're right. What was the layout of the Turkic camp like, and how many people were in it? ”

"The Turkic camp camped along the east bank of the lake, stretching for more than three miles, and after counting, there were more than 1,700 large and small felt tents, the number should be about 10,000 people, there was a guard cavalry composed of nearly 1,000 young people, and most of the others were women and children."

"Very good, if you break through the Turkic camp this time, I will give you the first credit!" Pan Xiaogu patted the sentry rider on the shoulder and praised

"Thank you, sir."

Pan Xiaogu turned his head and ordered to the guards on the side

"Order the captains of the 100-person team to come to me immediately, and send someone to invite Captain Yang, Captain Cheng and Team Lu to come over, and everyone will discuss the next move."

Pan Xiaogu's guard and herald received the order and immediately went out to give the order, and five or six minutes later, all the people mentioned by Pan Xiaogu rushed over.

The troops of more than 2,500 men were divided into 25 teams, including 20 cavalry and 5 personal soldiers. All the captains and other officers together were more than forty people, and of course it was impossible to gather around the map.

Pan Xiaogu asked his soldiers to summon two spears, glued the map to the spear shaft and stood on the ground, and he stood on the edge of the map with a small wooden stick to explain

"Ladies and gentlemen, the sentry has found traces of the Turkic camp, and it is here, on the eastern shore of this nameless lake, about one hundred and ten miles away from our camp."

Pan Xiaogu pointed to the small lake on the map with a straw stick, and then pointed to the location of his own camp.

"According to the report of the sentry cavalry, the Turkic camp has not yet received the news of the defeat of the Gilikreh, and there is no sign of the large camp to be transferred..."

"Now let's talk about it, how should we fight next? The three stinkers are Zhuge Liang, everyone works together, and if there is any good way, just mention it. ”

Pan Xiaogu already had a preliminary idea, but he was not sure and wanted to hear the opinions of others. Pan Xiaogu doesn't want to turn the army into his own hall, he is not a military god who wins all battles, he is just a pseudo-military fan, he has always put his position very right.

As soon as Pan Xiaogu's words fell, one of his captains immediately stood up, and Pan Xiaogu recognized him as the captain of the fifth cavalry team.

"My lord, my subordinates don't think there is any need for any strategy at all, with your lord's might, you only need to personally command the army after dawn to go straight to the outside of the Turkic camp, and the Turks will inevitably be taken by the military might of our army, panic and collapse without a fight."

Collapse your sister without a fight, which set did you come from and said the wrong line, right? Are you really an officer I taught?

"How can there be a reason to wait for the enemy to collapse without a fight? That's what I taught you when I was teaching the team! I don't think you can do it anymore! From now on, you will be removed from all positions, and the position of captain of the fifth cavalry team will be replaced by the deputy captain, Pan Hu, send him away! Pan Xiaogu was really angry, and removed this person from his position on the spot.

This person originally just wanted to shoot the sycophant, but the fart didn't shoot well, and he was kicked by a hoof and was taken away by Pan Hu in a daze.

After the person was dragged away, Pan Xiaogu turned his head and glared at the others

"If there are those who flatter their superiors and praise each other during military discussions, they will be dealt with in the same way! Well, if anyone else has any better suggestions, let's talk about it! ”

The captains of the teams exchanged glances with each other, and no one dared to speak out in this situation.

Damn, the mud can't hold up the wall!

Pan Xiaogu sighed helplessly and turned to the three people in Zhichong Mansion

"I don't know if you have any good suggestions, Captain Yang?"

"After all, Yang and the others are outsiders, and I can just wait for this important military matter to be heard, but everything is arranged by Pan's command, and we will wait to listen to the order."

Old fox, you want to see Lao Tzu's jokes, right? Lao Tzu won't let you get your wish!

"Since you don't have any good advice, then listen to me!" Pan Xiaogu's stubborn temper has come up, since you don't make suggestions, then follow Lao Tzu's method!

"Pass the order, each team can start to prepare for departure, after dark, the whole army will be deployed, the sentinel cavalry will guide first, and then the brigade will sneak overnight to three miles outside the Turkic camp to stand by and recuperate, and launch a surprise attack on the Turkic camp in the early hours of tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Pan Xiaogu's simple and crude tactics, everyone else was shocked

"My lord, isn't this too risky?" Others wanted to oppose but didn't dare, and kept silent, and then Pan Xiaohe, as a 'clan relative', asked what was in his heart for everyone.

"Adventure? There is no risk in a war, and the key depends on whether the risk is worth taking. Pan Xiaogu still hopes that his team can form an atmosphere of teamwork, so he patiently explains

"But what's the point? After all, the night march is too dangerous, and we can set out again tomorrow morning, which can also have the effect of a surprise attack. ”

"Same?" Pan Xiaogu sneered

"You forgot what the sentinel said, there are herdsmen grazing around the Turkic camp during the day, and the whereabouts of our army will definitely be discovered, once the Turks are alarmed, the thousand Turks left behind in the camp will be ready, and the surprise attack will turn into a strong attack, even if the camp is captured, the losses are bound to be huge!"

"In addition, the time is also very tight now, we set off one day later than the Turkic remnants, we have arrived at the Turkic camp, the Turkic remnants must be coming, now every time we delay an hour, there is a little more possibility of early exposure, now our biggest advantage is that the Turks do not know our existence, once we lose this advantage, even if we capture the battalion, the loss is very huge!"

"Are these two reasons enough!"

"Enough... That's enough. Pan Xiaohe stammered in reply

"Say it louder!"

"Enough!"

Pan Xiaogu turned to the other captains and yelled at them.

"What about you!?"

He was a little disappointed in the teaching team he had cultivated today, and there was not a single one, oh, there was still one, the captain of the sentry cavalry.

"Enough!" The captains shouted in unison, and when they answered, they finally had some momentum that a soldier should have

Pan Xiaogu smiled with relief, and then yelled with a straight face

"So what are you waiting for? Get back to the team and get ready! ”

"Yes!"

Pan Xiaogu looked at the departing backs of his 'disciples' with a complicated expression, shook his head and regained his spirits.

What about the mud, it will take a long time, and it's a big deal to go back to the furnace and refine again! If you can't do it twice, teach it a third time, refine it a few more times, and the mud can also be refined into ceramics!
