Chapter 41: The Night Attack I
The night gradually deepened, fifty miles north of Qi County, in the camp of the Hun vanguard army, the bonfire was blown by the wind and swayed! Occasionally, a team of ten people patrolled the camp, but their casual expressions proved that although they were in an enemy country, they didn't feel that the Qin State had any courage to attack the camp! Since the army of the Qin State will not attack the camp, such a thing as inspecting the camp is naturally just an errand to deal with!
In the eyes of ordinary people, the Hun camp is so careless, naturally it is relied on! The number of this Xiongnu vanguard is 10,000, which is only one-fifth of the Qin army in Qixian County, but they are the main force of nearly 200,000 Xiongnu army thirty miles to the north! With such strong support, anyone who is one of the Xiongnu vanguard will have a contempt for the Qin State!
The reason is not only that the Xiongnu side has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, but also the intuitive impression left by the Qin army on the Xiongnu army along the way. Starting from Qingyang, the Qin army encountered by the Huns along the way was all defeated in a battle, and the Huns naturally did not know that the elite of the Qin army had always been to deal with the six countries of Shandong, especially South Korea! Arranged in the territory of Yiqu are either the old and weak soldiers or the local people who sympathize with Yiqu, after learning that Yiquhong led 200,000 Huns to take revenge, how can the Qin army along the way resist!
The Huns are a people on horseback, although the war with the Central Plains countries made them understand how important it is to camp in the wild, but obviously, this is only fifty miles away from the next target of the Huns - Qi County, which is destined to be just a temporary camp, so this camp is simply rough by the Huns in the eyes of people who are familiar with the military!
The Huns only placed a two-zhang deep rejection horse on the outermost part of the camp, and the trench was too lazy to dig, if the Qin army really had intentions, a quick charge could break into this vulnerable Hun camp and kill the Hun army in the tent!
This was the conclusion reached by the Qin army scouts lurking dozens of feet away from the Xiongnu camp. Although they felt that this was a good time to attack the camp, the Qin army scouts still carefully observed the movements of the Xiongnu camp to prevent any ambush by the Huns!
On the battlefield, those who carelessly take it for granted are already dead, and those who survive are all cautious people! Now. Whether the flaws in the vulnerable Xiongnu camp were accidentally exposed by the arrogance of the Huns or deliberately lured the Qin army to be fooled, it still needs to be carefully investigated and investigated!
Therefore, after the Qin scouts determined that there was no hidden post lurking outside the Xiongnu camp, they quietly approached more than ten zhang under the cover of the area where the torches could not shine. At this distance, the soldiers at the gate of the Xiongnu camp were already faintly visible, although they could not hear the content of their whispered conversation, but they frequently looked at the purple micro stars in the sky and looked back at the direction of the camp from time to time, and the Qin army scouts were sure. The Huns were very concerned about time.
"Are you waiting for us to attack the camp?" The Qin army scout secretly guessed, and when it was estimated that it was not yet there, the Qin army scout buried his body lower and decided to wait and see.
Half an hour later, a noise suddenly caught the attention of the Qin army scouts, and the noise came quickly, but it stopped abruptly. The Qin army scout raised his head and found out. It turned out that the Huns who had changed the guard came! A faint voice came in the wind, and the Qin army scouts only heard the words "It's too late to sleep too cold, and the Qin army is timid".
Combine these words in your head. The Qin army scouts felt that it might be the first Hun soldier to complain that the weather was too cold, and the robes who came to take over their duties were a little late, and at the same time comforted the robes that the Qin army was timid and would not attack the camp!
"It turns out that those people just now are waiting for someone to take over their vigil!" The Qin Army scout thought secretly.
Now that it is a child, the general twenty miles behind him is still waiting for his reply! The Qin army scouts decided to withdraw! But the sudden wind temporarily changed the minds of the Qin army scouts. Maybe the torches at the gate of the camp were about to burn out, or maybe the wind was enveloping too much morale in the mountains. In short, several torches at the gate of the camp were half extinguished by the wind! Due to this influence, the gate of the camp suddenly darkened!
At this time, the Qin army scouts had two choices, one was to ignore it. Directly return, and truthfully return the detected situation to your own commander; The other is to boldly lurk under the noses of the Hun soldiers, eavesdropping on the content of their conversation, if the other party is a real Huns, the language barrier cannot be broken, such eavesdropping is meaningless! But now, the Qin army in the entire Qi County knows that the vanguard of the Huns is the group of people from the Yiqu Kingdom, and there is naturally no barrier to language!
The Qin army scouts were downwind, and the smell could not reach the noses of the Hun soldiers, and it was very unlikely that the eavesdropping would be leaked. Moreover, the Qin army scouts had long discovered that at the gate of the camp, there was a blind spot, and the torches of the Huns could not illuminate that area. As long as you sneak under the noses of the Huns, you can completely leave from this blind spot by detouring the same way, and there will be no danger of being discovered!
To do it or not to do it, the Qin army scouts made a decision before the Huns lit the torches again! The wind became the best cover for the Qin army scouts, and before the Huns were distracted and lit the torches, the Qin army scouts bent their waists and advanced a few zhang forward. Don't underestimate the distance of these few zhang, after getting a few zhang closer to the defenders at the gate of the Xiongnu camp, the conversation of the Huns can already be clearly sent into the ears of the Qin army scouts!
"It's so cold!" The Hun soldier grumbled with his hands.
"Be content! When you're in the prairie, it's much colder than that! I heard that the area in Hanzhong is very warm, and the area of Jiujiang and Jiangdong can be more hot, if you are afraid of the cold, go there! Hun soldier B teased.
Sergeant Jia hurriedly shook his head and said, "Compared with being afraid of cold, I am more afraid of heat!" Forget it! It's cold in the grassland, and you can get into a warm tent! What's this called?! While others were sleeping in their tents, a few of us had to guard the camp! ”
Sergeant B glanced left and right, hurriedly made a "boo" movement, and persuaded: "The general's arrangement is also something you can question?!" This time to attack the Qin State, why do you have to stay for three or five months, and when the Qin State is defeated, the women of the Central Plains are not at your disposal and I are not to choose? If you don't keep a vigil tonight, you will keep a vigil tomorrow and the day after! Don't complain! Defend the city! ”
Shi Pawn Jia was obviously very excited when he heard that he could plunder the women of the Central Plains, and said: "I heard that the women of the Central Plains are white and beautiful, and they are much stronger than those women on the grassland!" If you can rob three or five Central Plains women to sleep together and give birth to more than a dozen big fat boys, then you will have no regrets in this life! Ha ha! ”
"Then you have to die!" Soldier B said angrily.
Shi Pawn Jia obviously didn't care, and said with a big grin: "I heard that the army of the Qin State has been used to deal with Korea, in front of our army of 200,000 Huns, how long can the Qin State hold out?!" If you want me to see, the Qin army didn't dare to attack the camp at all, maybe after learning that we were fifty miles away from them, they would be scared and pee! ”
"It's good that you know something! It's not okay to say it! Beware of the general who will blame you for disturbing the morale of the army! ”
"Don't say it! Don't say it! However, I heard that Shan Yu will lead the main army to Qi County tomorrow, and the good days of our vanguard will come to an end! "The soldier is obviously very nostalgic for the spoils captured in every battle along the way!
"Yes! Who's to say it isn't! However, behind Qi County is the Guanzhong Plain! If the Qin State was not stupid, it would definitely gather a large army! Qi County is not easy to fight! With our 10,000 troops, the whole army was wiped out before the big and small paint counties were wiped out! However, when Qi County is overcome, the Guanzhong Plain, which is thousands of miles of fertile fields, is not our racecourse?! Forget it, I'll squint for a moment! You look closely at the dots! As he spoke, Soldier B said angrily.
Sergeant Jia joked angrily: "Did yesterday's girl squeeze you dry?" ”
"Lao Tzu hasn't been squeezed dry! Lao Tzu is recuperating, ready to kill the prestige of the Qin State tomorrow! Anyway, the Qin army won't attack the camp tonight, just watch it with you! Let's talk about it first! Don't sleep! Otherwise, if the law enforcement team patrolling the camp sees it, even if you and I save our heads, we won't be able to escape a whip! Sergeant B admonished.
"The law enforcement team might all go to sleep! Even if you don't sleep, I can wake you up before they come over, so you can sleep in peace! Soldier A said to Soldier B, who takes care of himself very much on weekdays.
The Qin army scouts saw all this qiē in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and waited for half an hour, taking advantage of the drowsiness, and quietly turned around and retreated.
After walking two miles to the south, he took out a war horse with a peg from a dense forest, and walked another hundred and ten steps before the Qin army scouts got on their horses and beat their horses away!
Fifteen miles to the south, two thousand recuperated Qin army horsemen were leading their respective war horses and slowly walking in the valley, the whole team stretched for several miles, but there were only a few torches! If it weren't for the first day of the Lunar New Year, there would be neither moon nor stars in the sky, and the Qin army wouldn't even be able to raise torches!
Although the dark night gave the Qin army an excellent cover, but it was really necessary to attack the Xiongnu camp at night, and the actual problem faced by the Qin army was how to find the Xiongnu camp, especially in such a dark night when they couldn't see their fingers.
"General! The last scout is back! The adjutant whispered.
The commander of the Qin army nodded slightly, estimating that the time for the scout to come back did not exceed the bottom line he had set, so he said quietly: "Bring him over!" ”
"The general atoned for his sins! It's too late! A seasoned Qin Army scout knelt down on one knee and said.
"What's the news?" The commander of the Qin army obviously knew that the scouts he brought were the elite of the elite, and the other party must have come so late for a reason.
"The subordinates sneaked into the gate of the Hun camp and heard that the 10,000 Hun pioneers had fallen asleep! Tomorrow, the 200,000 troops of the Xiongnu Shan Yu will rush to the city of Qi County! After speaking, the Qin army scout told him how he had heard it! (To be continued......)
