Chapter 169: The Situation of the Han Army

The three scouts who retreated earlier found other scout cavalry troops, and there happened to be three troops near here, and they were about to return to the camp together, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence.

He Man was finally bandaged briefly, and then sent two men to send him back to the camp. These scouts were just some simple utensils to stop bleeding and bandage, and if they really wanted to treat this wound, they had to send it back.

The three scouts who went back first should have reported the discovery of the Han army's scouts. And they originally planned to go back, but at this moment they have changed their minds. Since the reconnaissance cavalry of the Han army has appeared, then it means that the main force of the Han army will not be too far away, and the farthest will not exceed a hundred miles.

As a scout, it is natural to find out the enemy's exact location as completely as possible, so after the decision within the group, the three troops quickly rested, and then began to rush in the opposite direction.

"Captain, is it really okay for us to go deep alone like this?" On the way, a team member asked cautiously.

"You don't need to go deep, you just need to grab the high ground! Not far ahead is a high mountain, where we can look at it condescendingly, we don't need to know the enemy's situation in too much detail, we only need to know the number of people on the other side, the configuration of the other party, then it is a great achievement! The captain of the direct jurisdiction returned with a smile.

Hearing this, the other team members were also relieved, after all, further ahead was the enemy's patrol range, and there was no reason why the opponent's scouts would not find them. When the time comes, it will be a fierce battle, and God knows how many of them will be able to return to the old camp safely in the end.

"Attention. It's the sound of the hooves of the horses ridden by the thieves! "It's been less than three miles. I heard one of the captains raise his hand sharply.

Everyone stopped. After listening carefully, there were some horses' hooves ahead, and in this range, the sound of horses' hooves that could be heard could only be the Han army's scouts.

Perhaps they had noticed that the previous group of scouts had not returned for a long time, so they sent another group to patrol. Or maybe it's the turn of this group of scouts to patrol the area. Whatever the situation, the enemy will soon appear.

"Prepare for war. Kill this thief scout with me! "One of the cavalry captains, who had been elected commander-in-chief, gave the order.

The other two captains did not have any objections, so the subordinate team members also entered a state of preparation one after another, and a halberd was quickly held in their hands, and they continued to ride forward, killing in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came.

After a while, the scout cavalry of the two sides met again, and in terms of equipment, this Han army scout cavalry was not comparable to the one in front.

"Throw!" With the order of the captain in charge, more than two dozen halberds were quickly thrown.

The other party apparently also noticed the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and at first thought it was a friendly army on the way back. But I only felt that the sound of the horse's hooves was too loud, so I kept some vigilance.

But I don't want to. The two sides met suddenly, and before they could react, the halberd had already been thrown. Caught off guard, seven people were shot and killed at once, and the remaining three saw this and planned to retreat with their horses, but they were still caught left and right by the Yellow Turban scouts who quickly chased after them, and they were successfully killed.

"Are you alright?" The captain of the leader stopped his horse and turned back to ask.

"It's okay, compared to the scout in front, this one is much more useless!" The other two captains returned with a smile.

"Tidy up, everybody get on your way!" The captain nodded and motioned to continue on his way.

In a short time, the scheduled mountains have arrived. They left more than twenty men to look after the horses, while the rest quickly climbed the mountain, and after about a quarter of an hour, they made it to the top.

On this mountain, which is nearly 1,000 meters above sea level, everyone looks into the distance and sees that everything seems so small.

The other party obviously didn't realize the means of climbing high and looking into the distance, or rather, the enemy knew from the beginning that the target was gathering on the side of the long shrine, so there was no need to waste time climbing and checking here, no matter how they were on this high mountain, at least they were safe.

"Look, there seems to be a swarm of ants moving over there!" After a closer look, one of the captains pointed to the west-northwest direction and shouted. The others immediately looked over, but they saw a group of 'ants' in the black press, walking in that direction towards the south.

It's just that it's definitely not an ant, after all, the ant is not that big, so the correct answer is - the main force of the Han army!

It's really a group of black oppression, just seeing that scale, I feel that the other party is terrible. Obviously, according to the intelligence, the number of enemy troops will not exceed 50,000, and in fact it is impossible to even exceed 30,000. But compared to the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army, which only knew how to gather and act, this unit maintained a very neat formation and advanced slowly.

Of course, the footsteps were not yet consistent, nor could they reach the point where the ground rumbled with every step, but a certain sound still came, and they heard it from a long distance.

"That's not right! The main forces of the opposing side are advancing towards our left side, not head-on towards our troops! The captain immediately found out.

"Yes, the other party is not taking the official road, which is obviously unreasonable. Besides, since they don't take the official road, what does it mean to send so many scouts to take the official road?! The other captains were also puzzled.

"Well, my personal opinion is that the Han army intends to pretend to engage us head-on, but in fact go around our flanks and launch a surprise attack, so as to expand the results of the battle...... Do you think this is possible? The captain asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, I think that's how it is!" The other captains thought about it and responded.

"You see, in a very short distance, they sent five or six scouts south towards this side of the official road. On the other hand, only two or three scouts were sent elsewhere, which is very unreasonable, and it seems that my guess is correct, we must go back and report to the lord as soon as possible! The captain at the head shouted.

"Whoa!" The other two captains responded, and then several people quickly descended the mountain.

"Nothing happened, did it?" In the distance, they saw the remaining players.

"Captain, you guys go quickly!" But he didn't want to, and one of the team members shouted, and then rushed forward with all his might. But in a few moments, he fell off his horse and suffered a bleeding wound in his chest. As for himself, it is obvious that he will not survive.

"What's the situation? No matter, let's go! Seeing this, the captain also knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly accelerated his descent and quickly got on a horse.

It was at this time that he discovered that there were more than fifty more scouts in the vicinity, and they had already surrounded them. Obviously, the five scout cavalry sent by the enemy's base camp before were not patrolling, but aimed at their lone reconnaissance cavalry force from the beginning.

"Withdraw!" It was impossible to fight, and the captain at the head could only turn his horse's head, shout and quickly retreat. (To be continued......)
