Chapter Twenty-Seven: Waiting for the Net
"My lord, let's eat some!" Batu walked into the tent with a plate of beef and a pot of mare's milk wine.
Qin Dong took the beef and mare's milk wine and put them on the table while eating, and asked as he ate, "Batu, is there no news from Muren?" Did the other vigilant patrols find any signs of the enemy? ”
"Not yet, sir!"
"Then you go down first!" Qin Dong waved his hand.
"Yes, sir!"
For some reason, since Qin Dong traveled here, he found that instead of the fear and uneasiness of coming to a strange environment, he was not afraid of losing his life because he came to the chaotic era at the end of the Roman Empire, on the contrary, he was very excited, and he had a feeling of imminence in his heart.
Qin Dong is very much looking forward to the upcoming battle, he is eager to vent the suffocating depression that he has lived in the twenty-first century for a long time, although the twenty-first century is peaceful, but there are too many constraints of various kinds, and the provisions of the cumbersome laws make people unable to do anything out of the ordinary, he often sighs that he was born at the wrong time, but now it is okay, he has come to the beginning of this chaotic and dark era, he actually found himself much more relaxed, he told himself, since he came, then do whatever he wants, Let me lead the Huns and other barbarians to tear apart the hypocrite faces of the so-called civilized aristocracy of the Roman Empire.
After destroying two catties of beef and a pot of mare's milk wine, Qin Dong fell asleep on a sheepskin mattress, and at some point the sound of horses' hooves woke him up from outside, and soon Batu came in with a cavalry under Muren, only to see the cavalry kneeling down on one knee and said: "My lord, Wu Zhu and his cavalry have moved, about four hundred people are hurrying towards my camp, leaving two hundred people to guard the camp, this time it is Wu Zhu himself who leads the team, Lord Muren is taking others to monitor, let me come back first to report the enemy situation!" ”
"Huh" Qin Dong suddenly stood up when he heard the report, looked at Batu and asked, "Is there any information coming from the other guard patrol teams?" ”
Batu said: "My lord, a quarter of an hour ago they sent a message to say that it was as usual, and they found nothing suspicious!" ”
Qin Dong pinched his chin and walked around the tent, thinking for a while before stopping and ordering: "Transfer Su He and another patrol back, leaving only one patrol scattered far away, if you find any traces of other troops, come back and report immediately, except for women and children, everyone is gathered in the camp, the warriors are ready for one person and three horses, and the old man is all armed with bows and arrows and scimitars ready to fight!" ”
"Yes, my lord!" Batu answered loudly, and now that the great war is coming, everyone is in good spirits, and the Huns are the least afraid of war, they have lived in harsh conditions for a long time, unlike the temperate and tropical peoples in the south who want to live in peace.
Qin Dong doesn't know how many people will be left under his men after this battle, but he must fight this battle, if he doesn't fight, he will wait to be destroyed, even if he can escape with his martial arts, he can only die in the end, either go to the Roman Empire as a mercenary, or go to the land where the barbarians live incognito, these are not what he wants, what he wants is to hire the world and sweep Europe, not to steal like a mouse.
When Qin Dong came to the open space in the camp, all the people who could fight were gathered in the open space, the women and children were hiding in the tents, and when the enemy besieged the camp, they hid in the tents to avoid arrows, Qin Dong ordered all sixty knights to leave the camp and go to the woods four miles away on the left, so that they could lie in ambush and wait for them.
After the sixty cavalry left, Qin Dong immediately arranged for the pro-soldier team to take the old people to block all the board cars in the wooden fence, the camp was only so big, more than 100 board cars almost blocked the wooden fence for three layers, these old people all hid behind the board carts and held bows and arrows, their task was to be the main force to guard the camp.
When Qin Dong was arranging, Su He and Mu Ren came back with the team almost at the same time, and the herdsman dismounted and said, "My lord, the four hundred cavalry of the Wuzhu are less than twenty miles away from here!"
"Okay, Muren, your task is to take your reconnaissance team and the old people to guard the camp, the camp has been blocked by carts, the Vulture should be unable to take you for a while, you only need to hold on for two quarters of an hour to complete the task, then I will lead people to kill from the rear of the Vultures and defeat them in one fell swoop! How, will you be able to hold the camp? ”
Mu Ren observed the surrounding arrangement, nodded solemnly, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Mu Ren is in the camp!" ”
"Good!" Qin Dong was very satisfied, and looked at Su He again: "Su He, I want to give you a very important task, this task can be said to be very dangerous, you and Batu took forty horsemen to make a detour forty miles away to attack the camp of Wuzhu, they still have two hundred cavalry in the camp now, but they definitely would not have thought that we would have the courage to divide our troops to attack their camp, their number is five times that of yours, but you don't have to worry, you are unprepared, but you have to remember, you don't entangle with them, as soon as you rush into the camp, you will set fire, Set fires everywhere, destroy the stables to disperse the horses, and then charge back and forth while they are in disarray! ”
This arrangement was very clear, Su Yiyi understood it when he heard it, and stroked his chest and said, "Yes, my lord, I understand!" ”
But Batu said: "My lord, I am the captain of your personal army, I should stay by your side!" ”
"Batu, now that our troops are insufficient, we can only let you follow Su He to carry out the task of sneaking up on the Wuzhu camp, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely save my life!"
Qin Dong drove away Batu and his personal army, and there were only six of Mu Ren's men and about a hundred old men left, Qin Dong was about to leave, but suddenly remembered a very important thing, he said to Mu Ren: "You immediately send someone to the river to fetch water to get these carts and tents wet, if not, once the Wuzhu shoots torches or rockets into the camp, we will be finished!" ”
Mu Ren's face changed greatly after hearing this, and he immediately sent more than a dozen old men to Dashui to come over, and after arranging it, Qin Dong immediately took two people and galloped towards the woods four miles to the left of the camp!
But said that Wu Zhu with four hundred cavalry marched to ten miles away from the camp did not let everyone stop, if it is a general with rich combat experience, at this time should let the cavalry slow down the march, not let the movement of the cavalry gallop to alarm the people in the camp, this can have the effect of a sneak attack, but Wu Zhu did not have the slightest awareness of this, he did not think that he was in the situation of absolute superiority of the force still necessary to carry out any sneak attack, besides, this is only ten miles away, there is no need to hide, the cavalry can launch a surprise attack in a flash.
Wu Zhu arrived this afternoon with 600 cavalry, originally he was ready to attack immediately after arriving, he had 600 cavalry, but Qin Dong only had 100 capable warriors, the disparity in strength was too great, there was no need to engage in any conspiracy and tricks, directly face the head, Qin Dong would be defeated, but he felt that the weather would be late, and his cavalry had been sleepy for a few days, so he let his cavalry rest for an afternoon, and then attack in the evening, it was his decision that made him miss the best opportunity to defeat Qin Dong.
"Newspaper-" A cavalryman came galloping from the front, shouting.
"Stop!" The vultures grabbed the reins and raised their hands to signal the horses to stop.
I only listened to the cavalryman's report: "Lord Wu, the enemy camp is silent, it is pitch black, and there is no vigilance."
"Hahaha, it's really the favor of Immortal Heaven, the bastard in Qin Dong insulted me too much a few days ago, and today I can finally vent the hatred in my heart, Erlang, follow me into Qin Dong's camp, kill the people who can fight, kill all the old people and children, and leave only the women, after the deed is done, those women, cattle, sheep and horses will be yours, come with me!"
"Oh, oh, oh......."
"Woolulu, woolulu......" Everyone couldn't help but shout excitedly and galloped away with the Wuzhu towards Qin Dong's camp.
