The land south of Damgan is destined to be a place of frequent war, with the salt lake of St. Aligli to the east, the verdant mountains of the Magyar Sea to the north, and the Kumtachi Plateau, although full of barren beaches, but everywhere there are oases, at least in the barren deserts of Central Asia, which attracts the attention of many people like a jewel.

Standing on the edge of the flat campsite, Lao Luo's thoughts fell silent with the last ray of the sunset, "Lao Cheng, are your sons and daughters ready?" ”

"It's ready. However, although our soldiers have already smelled blood, it is not appropriate to expect them to charge into battle. Cheng Shouru, who was very rare, said such sympathetic words to the soldiers, perhaps because he had seen the massacre outside the city of Rai, many soldiers vomited afterwards and could not eat, so he was a little conservative about his subordinates' ability to bear.

"No, there's no need to charge!" Lao Luo shook his head slightly, "The garrison doesn't need to rush the camp, their main task is to hold the main camp, and I have repeated this many times." The best thing for your garrison tonight is to rest in shifts to prevent the opponent from sneaking up. ”

"But it is said that the enemy numbered at least 5,000 men...... How could a cavalry school with only 1,400 people deal with so many people? Cheng Shouru's worries are not unreasonable, according to the most basic principle of reciprocity in the era of cold weapon warfare, the equal number of soldiers is the basis of confrontation, and winning more with less is just an exception most of the time.

"Who says that war has to be fought face to face? The Turks are certainly a rabble at the moment, and in the absence of time, it is impossible for them to bring in elite forces from the Ghaznavids to deal with us. Lao Luo didn't wait for Cheng Shouru's answer, but pointed to the mountains not far away, "Now their people are staying in the mountains over there, and the trade routes in the mountains can only barely accommodate the passage of side vans, so the Turks must have prepared a lot of rolling wood and stones to entertain us, what do you mean by that?" ”

"If we are caught off guard and are attacked by falling rocks on the mountain road, our team will definitely collapse...... The leader of the other party is a guy who likes to use wit? As a disciple of Jiangmen, Cheng Shouru's reaction is indeed not slow.

"That's right, the leader of the other party should be a smart man. But that's not all, such a move proves that my guess is right, the other side's 5,000 people are just a rabble. If it were the elite of the Turks, according to the current habits of the Turks in this land, would they be ready to ambush us without a single temptation? "I can't help but say that people like Lao Luo should belong to the battlefield, obviously talking about thousands of enemies, in his mouth, it seems that those thousands of enemies are just scarecrows on the training field.

Cheng Shouru was a little speechless, even if it was a rabble, it would take a while to slash with a knife, even if the people in the cavalry school had experienced more killings, it could only be said to be arrogant to deal with at least four times the enemy, this is not a military deduction on the sand table, once there is a mistake, the price paid must be human life.

Lao Luo looked at Cheng Shouru with a skeptical expression, and didn't explain more, "Lao Cheng, your task is to defend against a possible enemy surprise attack in full accordance with the plan, as for any situation outside the main camp, don't care, keeping all your family members and craftsmen safe is victory." ”

Having said this, Cheng Shouru couldn't say anything no matter how suspicious he was, after all, Lao Luo was the security master of the entire team. Even if he doubted, he could only suppress it in his heart. Now he can only hope that this elder surnamed Luo was not carried away by the success of a while ago, and he is not Zhao Kuo and the like who talk on paper.

Looking at Cheng Shouru's departing back, Lao Luo shook his head gently, he knew that it was difficult to convince people with words alone, but he didn't expect that Cheng Shouru, who was also a soldier, was not optimistic about his own combat strength.

From Cheng Shouru's reaction, it can be known that the former Tang battalion's current Donggui team still needs a few more victories to cheer up the spirit of daring to fight, Lao Luo can't help but laugh at himself in his heart, he is still a little anxious, an army that comes out of the team of pure craftsmen, because of a strong clansman, dare to rashly embark on the road of return, it is already a rare and valuable courage, expect them to fight against the Turkic people who are becoming more and more powerful in their hearts? It's still too unrealistic.

Everything went back to square one, and all the words didn't add up to an actual victory that was convincing, and Lao Luo clenched his fists.

It should have been midnight when the moon showed its face from the east, and there was a sound of horses' hooves popping, which was the sound of cloth wrapped around the horses' hooves, and Ark emerged from the shadows with a few scouts, and after the code was corrected, the slender face appeared in front of Lao Luo, "Master, the enemies on the mountain are all resting, and many of them have gathered together and quarreled for a long time in the evening, and they should have noticed that our main camp is here." ”

"Did you rob the enemy's scouts alive?" Old Luo was not worried about Alker's cleverness, from Smyrna to here, this Visigothic seems to have been born to eat the bowl of scouts, and now this guy brought by Alker seems to have inherited this.

"No, our people are too ruthless, and the time is in a hurry, so we can't keep our hands at all." When Alker said this, there was no expression of regret on his face, and the eyeshadow face looked very strange in the moonlight.

Lao Luo scolded secretly in his heart, this guy just likes to wear eye shadow is not good, this face looks like a ghost at night, "Forget it, you lead the way, I will be with you, and a hundred people from the pro-guard team and the cavalry academy will follow behind and act according to the plan." ”

In the same way, the horse's hooves were wrapped in sackcloth, and as long as they were not stepped on smooth stones, there was no need to worry about the horse's feet slipping, and the deserts of Central Asia fulfilled this trivial trick, and hundreds of people began to rush to the mountain pass a few miles away without a sound.

During the day, the Donggui team did not follow the Turks' predictions into the trap they set, and now they must be in a panic, and they would not have thought that they would only launch a night attack with three or four hundred people.

In order to make up for the lack of numbers, in addition to the 100 people of Lao Luo's personal guards, he also transferred 100 archery masters from the cavalry school, plus more than 100 people from the scout team who are good at shooting, with the cover of the night, it is very easy to create chaos without seeking to kill people in the mountains for several miles.

As for the rest of the cavalry school, they had already made a detour to the exit of the valley led by Gonzas, and when chaos broke out in the mountains, they would be responsible for killing those who fled for their lives.

Is this tactical risk? Definitely, but what is not risky in this world? Lao Luo is confident in his combat strength, but this time the requirements for his subordinates are not so strict, and the tactical instructions are to protect himself first, then to disrupt the enemy, and finally to effectively shoot the enemy, and not to fight with the enemy.

There is no way to use the battlefield as a touchstone.

Of course, Lao Luo's purpose is not only for this battle, but also to select among these people the seedlings of special tactics that are bold and careful and in line with his own preferences. In this era, there was no such thing as special tactics, and the battle of thousands of people at every turn seemed to him to be a bit thankless.

Of course, it cannot be denied that the oppressive nature of the large corps of war is like a landslide and a sea crack, and the deterrent effect on the conquest of one side's land, but if it is only to achieve a certain strategic goal, the battle of the large corps may not be suitable, and it is likely that the gains will outweigh the losses.

This can be regarded as a new attempt by Lao Luo in this era.

When there was still a mile away from the outermost position of the enemy, a secluded valley was found, everyone dismounted, leaving dozens of warriors who were not good at bows and arrows to guard the horses, and the remaining night raid team of more than 300 people, according to the combination of five people in each group, began to rush in different directions like ants looking for food, in order to prevent accidental injury, a red cloth belt was tied around the neck of each person, and when the fire came up, this color would be the best sign to distinguish between friend and foe.

That's right, this kind of thing is raiding, killing people is not the first place, arson is the best way to create chaos, Lao Luo distributed a few clay pots filled with fire oil to everyone, this kind of thing is the best thing to use to burn the tent as long as it is lit, as for sticking to people's bodies - that kind of effect is estimated that no one wants to experience it personally.

Because of the restrictions of the terrain on the top of the mountain, the tents set up by the Turks needed to be kept secret - to deceive the eastward return team, so their resting place was very messy, and perhaps because of the rush of time, perhaps because of the carelessness of the Turks, of course, it is more likely that they did not have this habit - the Turks did not set traps on the periphery of the camp, which provided a good opportunity for the night raiders. Of course, it's not a problem for Lao Luo, a guy who has mental strength to cheat.

The warriors were busy, but he was certainly not idle, running as fast as he could, and with a bow and arrow that had a far longer range than the others, and a vision that was not affected by much darkness, he began to snipe all the sentries that came into his field of vision. With the experience along the way, his archery skills have lost their original roughness, and all the people who show their heads within 200 meters under the iron tire bow have become the direct targets of the iron arrows in his hands.

With Lao Luo's physical strength that is more and more beyond ordinary people, he can even open the bow continuously, and I feel that if it is not necessary to keep choosing targets, I am afraid that he will be able to shoot arrows one after another, of course, it is just a feeling.

The people around Lao Luo were Olki, Nuralman, and two soldiers from the Tang Battalion, and as Lao Luo's arrows were fired, they put away their stunned gaze and began to set fire to the clay pot behind them, and then threw it out vigorously, and the clay pot shattered on the ground, or spilled on the tent, and pieces of flames began to burn.

Not far away and beyond, the sparkling fires were also blooming, and in the gentle light of the moonlight, they reflected each other, and the shouts of the Turks began to spread. Compared with the gentleness of the moonlight, their cries were particularly poignant, although Lao Luo couldn't understand the content of their shouts, but he thought that it was nothing more than a warning voice such as "on fire, help" or "someone is sneaking up", and he began to look for the figure pointing in the firelight - it must be the commander of the Turks, and if the command is dispersed, the Turks will be completely chaotic.
