Chapter 45: Mutual Robbery (Part II)

Less than an hour after the 2,000 suspicious soldiers sent to the northeast left, Adar came in and reported that the enemy was showing signs of retreat.

He Ran said decisively: "Attack!" Bite them tightly, focus on guerrillas, and use them as if our reinforcements are coming, the more similar they are, the better, and hit them hard when the opportunity arises. ”

Adar took the order and left. When the army was launched, He Ran led the four hundred Tibetan Xiangu disciples and the four hundred Wang guards to follow the Chinese army.

The two armies were initially fifty miles apart, and when they reached the enemy camp, they were already empty and had nothing left, and it was evident that they had withdrawn the previous night, leaving only some of them to blare here. He Ran was very happy to see this situation, which showed that the enemy generals had been deceived by false news from all sides.

The time has come to be unforgiving, and He Ran can't help but urge the army to chase after him.

The enemy army did not blindly flee, encountered high hills, long grass and other terrain that can be ambushed, often left a small number of people to lay a suspicious formation, slow down the pursuit of the other side, after several delays, Adal was very angry and personally ran to the vanguard camp as a pioneer officer, so that the pursuit speed was much faster, and dozens of enemy soldiers who were in the suspicious formation did not even have time to withdraw and were killed.

By the time of the encampment, no less than two hundred miles were chased, and the distance between the two sides was again shortened to fifty miles, and on this day the enemy had abandoned countless cattle and sheep.

That night, He Ran summoned Adar back from the forward camp and said with a smile: "I will have to make your brothers work hard for a while." ”

Adar understood: "Is the military advisor going to rob the camp at night? ”

He Ran nodded and said, "Exactly, but what the purpose of this camp robbery is not to kill the enemy, but to play a trick, so that they will firmly believe that our team is going to entangle them to the death and buy time for the army behind to catch up." Be cautious about robbing the camp, maybe the enemy army will be prepared, and it will not be necessary, and there is no need to really rush into the enemy camp, just send a thousand men to make a show. ”

"I'll arrange it." Adar was commanded to go.

He Ran called him and said: "Wait, this appearance is also exquisite, the first to go earlier, after midnight to act, the second is not to come back, but to toss him for a few more hours, the first time to withdraw and sneak to the southeast, a moment or two later from there to harass, and then around the enemy camp to the east, to disturb their peripheral sentinels, dark cards, and then you can come back." ”

Adar guessed the intention of the military advisor, and said with a smile: "The military advisor doesn't want them to sleep soundly, I understand what to do." ”

He Ran smiled and said: "You are only half right, the main purpose is to confuse their minds, so that they dare not come to rob our camp, at least let them not dare to rob the camp with all their might, the enemy army is three times as strong as mine, we must let them have some scruples, otherwise it will be difficult tonight." ”

Adar frowned and said, "The military advisor is so sure that they will come to rob the camp?" It's been a tiring day of chasing. ”

He Ran said calmly: "If the White Lotus has really been instructed by the masters of the Central Plains, then it is likely to do so tonight, you can no longer rely on past experience to fight the enemy, we have to be vigilant, we would rather let the brothers work hard and make more preparations than be a little negligent, if the enemy army comes to rob the camp, then they will be serious." ”

"I'll take the forward battalion back."

He Ran smiled faintly and said: "If the enemy army does not come, it will not be the forward battalion, but the forward battalion will bypass the forward battalion and go straight to us, in order to defeat our army in one fell swoop, so that we can calmly face the enemy army that will come after us." ”

Adar thought for a moment and said, "The military advisor's analysis may be reasonable, so how should we deal with it?" ”

He Ran said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "If defense is our Central Plains people's forte, you can set up a sentry card as you want, I will send more of my people to secretly guard, when I set up camp, I have already arranged how to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, but it's a pity that we make good use of the lack of military resources such as fire oil, otherwise they don't want to go back when they come, now they can only scare them away and then cover up for a while, you go to the camp to check it, if you see something wrong, discuss with Yunye." ”

Adar went out to take a look, and saw that the Yi army was leading the soldiers to be nervously busy, some were digging pits, some were setting up mixing ropes, and some were doing some things he couldn't understand, the whole camp was no different from the usual camp, but the first half of the camp tent was empty, and the hay was piled inside, and the soldiers were concentrated in the back, forming a crescent-shaped layout, and when he saw Yunye in the back camp, he was telling a few thousand commanders through Wanjin.

Yun Ye greeted Adar with a smile and explained to him in a low voice the arrangements of the military division, Adar couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, "You Central Plains people have too many tricks to fight, I don't dare to rob your camp in the future." ”

Yun Ye laughed and said: "What can these be, if the required things are ready, there are more powerful tricks." ”

Adar was secretly speechless. Hearing that the main general was back, some disgruntled generals came one after another, complaining in a low voice that Master Yi had done too much and made the soldiers unbearable. Although Adar also has this idea, but at this time can only be appeased one by one, the defeat of the ambush last time made him a little lacking in confidence, anyway, after the Yi ** division came, the enemy army was scared away by a little scheming, just by virtue of this people are higher than himself, not to mention that he has heard that the military division moved his mouth on the side of the Qizari Mountain and forced the Zhao ** team to retreat, making the enemy army chaotic, and helping the king to win a big victory. There is no vanity under the fame, and this young Yi ** master does have two strokes.

After dinner, He Ran ordered the whole army to rest early, no one is allowed to move around and make noise, these soldiers are all battle-hardened elites, even if they know that someone will come to rob the camp at night, they can sleep peacefully, not to mention that most of them feel that this matter is not very reliable, so they soon snore, this day is really tiring.

The children of Zangxian Valley slept even more soundly, and the previous high-intensity training had already made them accustomed to this. Just after midnight, Yun Ye summoned a hundred people, and after explaining the password, there was no need to give too many instructions, these people sneaked into the night to perform their duties and take on the task of guarding everywhere near and far.

Adar didn't sleep, although he was skeptical of Master Yi's words, he didn't dare to be careless, he was originally a cautious person, and the last defeat made him more and more cautious. Drinking wine alone, he recalled what Master Yi said to him, although the other party didn't say it clearly, how could he not hear his suspicion of the third brother, which made him feel very unhappy, but he was much more stable than Bayan'er, and he didn't want to argue about this matter, and he could understand why the other party thought so, after all, the days of getting along were short, and he didn't know Yi'anzong.
