"Tian Er, that kid of yours knows how to make soy sauce, right?"

"How can you be so fast, you should be able to walk on the ground now."

"That's not bad, my kid hasn't given birth yet, and when I go back from this expedition, I will definitely miss my daughter-in-law's birth."

"I said you all be careful, don't be like Li Ermazi the day before yesterday, you didn't notice when you were touched in front of you, and you died too unjustly."

"Be careful, but we have this artifact, and those scouts can't see farther than we do."

As soon as the army was ready to be stationed, a large number of scouts were sent out to reconnoiter in all directions.

When marching and fighting, how the enemy did it first relied on the victory of the scouts.

The one who finds the opponent first has the upper hand.

Ever since receiving the help of the telescope, the scout camp has been strengthened, and only one person has died in the days of operation in the north.

It is the Li Er Mazi mentioned in their words just now.

Because he was too careless, he didn't see the enemy buried in the snow on the snow, and he was ambushed.

Although the follow-up scouts immediately killed the Beiliang scout who ambushed Li Ermazi, Li Ermazi was already dead.

"Be careful, these Beiliang people are good at camouflage in the snow, and if they find any unreasonable abnormalities, they will test them with arrows before approaching." Ma San reminded.

He is the leader of this group of scouts, he is only a ten-captain in the army, and there are only ten people in this team of scouts, but each of them is a good martial artist.

Although in the rivers and lakes, such skills are not on the table, but they are already considered masters in the army.

Scouts are equivalent to scouts in later generations, and naturally they all have more means than ordinary soldiers.

"Stop."

After walking along the northeast for a long time, Ma San suddenly realized something.

"Do you think this gully several feet deep is too long?"

The course of the Rin River was wide and deep in some sections, and the scouts went upstream, and Ma San found that this "ravine" did not look like a natural formation.

It's like a dry river.

"This is the river, right?" The sergeants who have been scouts for many years can see that they have been walking for so long, and they can't see the whole picture like the army stationed in the same place.

"This is Rinjiang?" Ma San pulled the reins in one hand and held the telescope in the other, looking upstream.

As scouts, it is necessary to memorize the terrain, they have little culture, but looking at maps seems to be an innate talent.

"I was at the general's place, and I saw a map of the northern border, and there is a wide river on the periphery of Rinju in Beiliang, which is the Rinjiang River......"

"But if the river of the Rin River is so wide, why is there no bridge, how can the people of Beiliang cross the river?"

Ma San suddenly thought of something, and broke out in a cold sweat: "Maybe they don't want us to easily recognize this as the Rin River, waiting for us to cross the river or when we cross the river......

"Boss, what do you think?" Tian Er asked.

immediately became serious: "Quick, wake up, follow me to the upstream to have a look!" ”

Along the way, the scouts ran along the river and galloped for dozens of miles.

Ma San kept observing with a telescope until he finally saw a dam built in his field of vision, which was a large section above the water surface of the river, which made Ma San confirm his conjecture.

"Made, the people of Beiliang want to flood the three armies?" Not only immediately, Tian Er was also so shocked when he saw this scene that he spat out fragrant fragrance.

"Is this Luo Yang's strategy, it's too poisonous!"

"Go back quickly, go back immediately and report to the general, quickly!!"

Ma San immediately reined in his horse, turned around on the edge of the river, and went the way he came, towards the place where he had set up camp.

But on the way back, I saw a troop of wandering Beiliang cavalry.

"Huh?" Among the Beiliang cavalry, someone found Ma San and the others, "Stop them and buy time for the brothers who opened the gates!" ”

"Kill!"

The Beiliang cavalry rushed directly and stopped on the way back for Ma San and the others.

Seeing this, Ma San instructed: "Brothers, don't fall in love with war, someone must go back and inform the general!" ”

At the same time, take out the firework flares that scouts are necessary and set them on fire with a fire breaker.

"Whoa—"

A burst of fireworks soared into the sky.

"There's an accident in the east, go to the rescue!" The surrounding Xia army scouts immediately turned their horses' heads.

……

Ma San, who was covered in blood, took a few brothers who survived and hurried back to the camp.

"Already moving?" Ma San was surprised, "Could it be that the other scout brothers found out and reported it?" ”

The dispatch of scouts is saturated, and Ma San naturally thinks that someone has returned.

"Thankfully, then." Tian Er gritted his teeth and said, he had wounds on his waist and face, which looked hideous, but fortunately, he used medicinal powder to stop the bleeding.

"You are all wounded, go back to the camp and rest."

"No, you see, chief, how is the army crossing the river?"

"Knowing that there is a problem, you have to cross the river, this ......"

Ma San also frowned, but said: "Since such a military order is issued, there is naturally a reason, and the general is also with the army, so naturally he will not deliberately mess around." ”

……

"General Yu!"

The news that Ma San brought back was very important, and he was taken directly to see Fang Jue.

Fang Jue was following the army, heading towards the north bank, listening to the horse's return on horseback.

"Sure enough."

After listening to Ma San's advice, Fang Jue nodded and said, "Very well done, this news is very timely." ”

"The general expects the enemy first, and there is no harm without Ma San's report." Ma San scratched his head and said.

Fang Jue said: "No, you have merit, the main book will make a note for the Ma San team." ”

"Yes." The main book in the army has been following Fang Jue.

"Your name is Ma San?" Fang Jue asked.

"Yes, General, my name is Ma San, and I live in Xiandeng Lane, Liangzhou......"

Fang Jue laughed: "I didn't let you report your home, and I didn't check the household registration." ”

"Hey, hey." Ma San realized that he was a little nervous, and when he met the general for the first time, he was naturally excited as a ten-division commander.

Fang Juezhengse: "Ma San, let me ask you, how far is the dam from here?" ”

Ma San said: "At least twenty miles." ”

Twenty miles?

If they saw that the army was stationed, the Beiliang scouts who went back to report the news hurried to the horse, then the other party had almost arrived when the Ma San team observed the dam.

Then Ma San immediately returned, and the other scout teams helped stop the enemy, and Ma San did not slack off at all.

It takes a process to open the sluice gates, and it takes time for the water to flow, but the speed of the water when the sluice gates are opened to discharge the flood is much faster than usual.

After a rough calculation, Fang Jue's brows stretched: "Even if they start to open the floodgates when you leave, it will be too late to flood our army at this moment." ”

The army was withdrawn, but the baggage it carried needed to be transported slowly, and Fang Jue needed this time.

If it's too late, you'll have to give up something.

But now, there's plenty of time.

"Ma San, you have worked hard, go down and rest." Fang Jue said.

"Yes, General."

After Ma San left, Fang Jue reined in his horse and stood on the north bank.

He summoned the heralds: "Send the order down, after crossing the river, the army will not enter the camp first, and immediately form a formation!" ”

After the military order was passed down, the commanders of the four battalions came.

Sun Yi said excitedly: "General, is the Beiliang Army coming?" ”

Wei Ran also said: "I heard that the scout reported that it was determined that the Beiliang Army intends to flood us?" ”

Fang Jue nodded: "The upstream should start releasing water, most of them think that we will be flooded and have no time to evacuate." ”

"Even if the scouts rush back, if we don't notice it in advance, we will lose a lot of baggage and camp tents, and the morale of the army will be weakened, and they will definitely take the opportunity to kill them."

In a place like Beiliang, without camp tents and baggage, the Beiliang army does not need to fight for a long time, and they can easily win after only a few hours of freezing the Xia army soldiers.

"When they open the gates, they will ambush all the troops, and we can do what we want." Fang Jue sneered.

This time, he's going to pull one back.

After being turned around by Luoyang for so long, it's time to make the Beiliang Army feel a pain.

"Send the order down and order all the scouts around us to return, so that they feel that we have been thrown into a mess and not notice that they are approaching."
