Chapter 142: The Turmoil of the He Clan (24)

The Liao army did not realize that the danger had crept up on them.

Since the Manshu era, when the Zhao Empire was weakened, almost no Zhao army dared to take the initiative to attack the Liao army.

The reason is very simple, the fierce Liao army is not lacking in caution, even at night, the Liao soldiers still maintain a very high level of vigilance, and the sneak attack of the Zhao army is rarely successful. Even if the Zhao army's sneak attack was successful, the Zhao army's sneak attack ended tragically. The composition of the Zhao army is mainly foot soldiers, of course, the Zhao army also has some cavalry, while the Liao army is almost all cavalry, and the war horses of the Liao army are better than the Zhao army, which lacks excellent war horses.

The mobility of the Liao army was far stronger than that of the Zhao army, and the Zhao army, which was lucky enough to succeed in the sneak attack, was inevitably killed by the reacting Liao army in the end. There are countless examples of such battles, and over time, the Zhao army is full of fear of the Liao army, and when it comes to attacking the Liao army, the Zhao soldiers and soldiers all understand that they are likely to be gone forever.

Zhou Shi's cavalry and horses of the hundred-household team were not inferior to the Liao army, so He Tengxiao took the risk of handing over this task to Zhou Shi, which seemed impossible to outsiders. As for the foot soldier He Tengxiao, there are other arrangements, He Tengxiao is not stupid enough to use foot soldiers to sneak attack the Liao army, which is mainly composed of cavalry, and taking foot soldiers to sneak attack is tantamount to looking for death.

The Zhao army of Liaodong, whether it is the town army or the private soldiers of the four great families of Liaodong, has an unwritten convention. However, all the soldiers who accept the sneak attack mission will promise to give their families mercy after their death before carrying out the sneak attack (it is unknown how many officials will fulfill their promise in the end), and there is also a suicide note for the soldiers who carried out the sneak attack.

If the sneak attack is successful, the soldier who can come back alive will have no meaning in the suicide note left before the mission, and will be burned as if it were bad luck, and then receive a fairly generous pension. Everyone is happy to come back alive, but more often than not, the soldiers who carried out the mission of sneaking up on the Liao army have never recurred, and even the bones have not been found, and the suicide note left before the war will be sent to their families, and if they are lucky, they will also have a pension.

"If there's anything you want to keep, stay now."

He Tengxiao respected the tradition of the Zhao army, and said to them before the hundred households set off to attack the Liao army's powder magazine, his tone was a little heavy, even depressing.

Although these soldiers are usually rude men, they can still hear the meaning of He Tengxiao's words.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little oppressive. All the soldiers fell silent, and the atmosphere of the previous uproar died down.

He Tengxiao's gaze swept to these soldiers, and finally fell on Zhou Shi.

Zhou Shi groaned slightly, and after groaning, Zhou Shi looked at He Tengxiao resolutely: "Leaving a suicide note before the war, how unlucky, there is only one request from my subordinates." ”

"It doesn't hurt to say anything you want, and I will satisfy you whatever you want." He Tengxiao was very happy, this was the first time he had made a promise to them since he was the official of Zhou Shi, the hundred households.

"Compassion for the brothers who died in battle."

Zhou Shi only had such a simple request. It's not that he can't trust He Tengxiao, but that there are too many officials who have broken their promises before. The shortage of military salaries is one aspect, and the main reason is that the officials are greedy, even for this kind of money.

"This is Teng Xiao's business, all the brothers here are the brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and they are all my soldiers of He Teng Xiao, but all the soldiers who are killed and injured in the battle will be compensated according to the standards of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion."

He Tengxiao said slowly and heavily. To be honest, he was not willing to use Zhou Shi, the cavalry of the Hundred Households, to carry out this dangerous sneak attack character. The cavalry is expensive, and the elite cavalry is even more elite, and how many people can come back to the Liao army camp that went deep into the tiger's wolf's den to carry out sneak attack activities?

Sneak attack and sabotage activities lie in being quick and unexpected. In order to be quick and unexpected, it is necessary to have good mobility in the sneak attack troops. The most mobile type of troops in this era is none other than light cavalry, before He Fangxiong did not transfer Zhou Shi, a hundred households, to He Tengxiao's cavalry battalion, He Tengxiao only had more than 50 cavalry for sentry. This sneak attack mission was only the most suitable for Zhou Shi, the cavalry of the Hundred Households.

A sneak attack on the powder magazine of the Liao army could not affect the outcome of this battle, but it could reduce the combat effectiveness of Yu Yansong's troops, and then increase the magic calculation of defeating the Liao army. Excluding the possibility of the Qin army taking the lead, Wu Tingzhen, He Shihu, and He Tengxiao were still at a disadvantage against the Liao army.

With He Tengxiao's promise, Zhou Shi felt like a stone in his heart, he asked He Tengxiao this sentence, the picture was a peace of mind, he didn't want to see the livelihood of their orphans and widows after the war with his brothers, and they lived a miserable life.

Zhou Shi bowed deeply to He Tengxiao, and the brothers behind him followed Zhou Shi and bowed deeply to He Tengxiao, which was regarded as a kind of pre-war trust in He Tengxiao's opinion. Accepting this bow, He Tengxiao felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

After bowing, Zhou Shi and his soldiers sorted out the war horse, checked the weapon, and confirmed that the war horse was in good condition and there was no problem with the weapon, then stepped on the war horse and embarked on the journey. A sharp sword out of the sheath stabbed straight into the Liao army camp.

The soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were in a heavy mood, they were all soldiers of the He tribe, and although they disdained the cavalry of Zhou Shisuo, who had a strong sense of superiority, they did not reject them. Looking at their backs as they resolutely walked away, the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion suddenly felt that they had superior capital.

The Liao army was enjoying breakfast in the east and west, scattered and seemingly undisciplined. Due to the influence of the living environment, the characteristics of nomadic soldiers are usually outstanding in individual combat ability, and discipline is relatively loose.

The nomadic Liao soldiers were not exempt from vulgarity. Although after the Manshu people entered Liaoyang, they also carried out a certain degree of sinicization of their own people, and tried to absorb the nutrients of the advanced Central Plains civilization, but these essential characteristics are difficult to erase for a while.

On the other hand, the private soldiers of the Yu nationality who were born in the Zhao army have obvious colors of the Central Plains army, and their discipline is a grade better than that of the Liao army.

The Liao army from the Manshu nationality likes to eat meat, the Liao soldiers and soldiers gather together and take a big bite of barbecue, the Liao army's camp is full of meat fragrance, in addition to the meat fragrance, the smell of barbecue mixed with the smell of fragrant barbecue on the livestock then permeates the entire military camp.

The food taste of the Manshu people is quite different from that of the Central Plains people, although the eastern part of the Liaodong is close to the barbarians, the Han people in Liaodong have frequent exchanges with the barbarians, and there are not a few people who like to eat barbecue for a long time, but very few Han people in Liaodong will take barbecue as a regular food and staple food like the Hu people, and only eat it occasionally. First, meat is expensive, not everyone can afford it, and secondly, the Han people have a natural sense of superiority over the Hu people, ashamed of the Hu people's way of life, and reject the Hu people's way of eating from the bottom of their hearts.
