Guo Daxian had no intention of sleeping, so he sat on the city tower and waited for the news from the grain stores everywhere. Seeing that there were a lot of rumors in the city that they were riding Pegasus to report that they were safe, Guo Daxian couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved. It seems that the people of the Qiu and Yin clans just took advantage of the garrison of the grain point to break through one place and burned a tun of military rations. Fearing that the army would go to encircle and suppress, he fled in a hurry and did not continue to attack other grain storage points.

"Report ...... Qu Shuai, Zhang Leader reported that the two thieves Qiu and Yin who attacked the Xishantun grain point had fled, and more than 2,000 stones of grain and grass were destroyed, and only hundreds of stones of surplus grain were rescued. At present, he is leading the troops to clean up, and the special person came to ask Qu Shuai what other instructions he has? ”

"Well, it's really Qiu and Yin's two thieves. Hmph, no one else has the guts to do this except them. Guo Daxian stroked his beard and muttered: "Order them to continue to clean up, and contact the nearby grain storage point at any time, and don't let Qiu and Yin thieves rob the grain elsewhere." When the day comes, together with the cavalry of the other tuns, they will go to the Qiu and Yin thieves in Beishan to gather at the fort. I want to break through the second fort in one fell swoop and slaughter the two thieves Qiu and Yin who dare to offend my tiger beard. ”

"Order." The herald rushed away, and after receiving the order from the head of the city, the thief who was waiting at the foot of the city immediately ran towards the western mountain. After a short time, he met with He Bai's army.

"Report to Lord Lieutenant." Hou Cheng jumped off the horse and bowed with joy: "Guo Daxian is really unprepared, so he ordered the Xishan Tun Grain Point to continue to clean up the surplus grain, and communicate with other Tun Grain Points, and go to Qiu Yin Erbao to gather together tomorrow morning, and he wants to destroy this Qiu and Yin Er's surname." ”

He Bai nodded, and discussed with Li Ping, Cheng Qi, Luo Pei, Hou Cheng and others: "I heard that there are 2,000 people in the clan, and there are no less than 6 or 700 strong people in the clan, and if they are divided into two places, there will be more than 300 people in each place. In this cold winter season, if he wants to break through, he needs at least four or five times as many soldiers and horses as there are only 1,000 armored foot soldiers in the township and city, and nearly 1,000 cavalry soldiers in the grain station can only patrol the periphery, and it is impossible to attack the city, so he needs to transfer troops from other places. ”

"Guo Daxian will attack the fort around midnight tomorrow, and this is the midnight of the fort, and there are only less than eight hours to go. And the thieves at the turn of the capital and the southbound Tang Dynasty have a distance of forty or fifty miles to go, and they will definitely not return to the capital city first, but go straight to the Qiu and Yin tribes in Beishan to gather at the dock fort. Then for our army, there are two fighters. ”

"The first is to exterminate the horsemen of Guo Daxian's thieves in batches nearby and seize their good horses. The second is to ambush Guo Daxian's thieves from afar, so that he has no advantage in troops from now on. So that our army can easily exterminate the remaining Guo Daxian thieves on another day. ”

After Cheng Qi heard this, he immediately shouted: "Lord, what do you think about this, of course, it is to exterminate the elite horsemen of the Guo thieves in batches." Guo thief lost more than 1,000 elite horsemen in his hand, and most of his combat strength was immediately gone, and with thousands of rabble foot soldiers, our army could fight alone, or it could be broken in one fell swoop. ”

Hou Cheng also patted Fang Cai's mount and said: "Lord Duwei, the cavalry mounts of the Guo thief are all good horses with a shoulder height of more than six feet and five inches. If our army takes it first, it will definitely be a great blow to Guo Thief. So I also agree with the words of Cheng Junhou. ”

Li Ping responded: "This is my home...... This is a good horse that the master of the Ma family spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy in Luoyang, Hanoi and other places, which is naturally good. Just wanted to eliminate these more than 1,000 elite horsemen in batches, but I was afraid that I would only eliminate the thieves in one or two places, and they would be discovered by thieves from other places, so that they fell short. In contrast, I think it is better to get rid of Guo Thief's foot soldiers first. ”

Luo Pei nodded in agreement and said: "What Li Sima said is very true, since Guo Thief asked Xishan to communicate with other places, then there must be the same order for other places. If something is found to be wrong in one place, it will be found in all other places. Therefore, I also think that it is best to attack the foot soldiers of Guo Thief. ”

He Bai grabbed a handful of snow with his hand and put it in his mouth, wanting to suppress the anger in his heart. A momentary mistake made the follow-up difficult. The current advantage of the army is that Guo Daxian has not yet known about the existence of the army. And his goal is just to kill Guo Daxian, and it is impossible to sneak attack the city at present, so he can only wait for him to leave the city.

However, Guo Daxian still has nearly 100 cavalry guards in his hands, and there are no cavalry pawns in the army, even if he defeats him, he will be escaped by Guo Daxian, who has long been prepared and vigilant. If Guo Daxian's foot soldiers are eliminated first, then this battle will become protracted, and it will also cause the interference of other Black Mountain thieves, and it will become even more indefinite to kill Guo Daxian. If Guo Daxian's cavalry is eliminated first, then the army already has these thousands of good horses in hand, whether it is to defeat Guo Daxian's thieves, or to chase and kill Guo Daxian later, it will become much easier.

He Bai spit out the ice water in his mouth, patted his shares and said, "It's better to eliminate the cavalry of Guo Daxian's thief department first." If you think about it, what is the magic way to get rid of them one by one. ”

Everyone thought for a while, and then shook their heads, indicating that there was no other good way. He Bai could only pat his leg angrily and said, "Since this is the case, then our army will have an information speed war with the thieves." There must be time for the thieves to communicate with each other, or an hour, or half an hour. It's not too long, it's not too short. I think it will be about half an hour, at least tonight. ”

"And there is a distance of about seven or eight miles between each tun, and it will take nearly half an hour for our army to march in the form of foot soldiers. Then there is only one pillar of incense (five minutes) left for our army to get rid of a hundred and fifty thieves. ”

"With Xishantun as the center, there are six thief villages in the south. There are only three places in the north, with the south being the most important. Our army can be divided into two, I and Cheng Qi to the south, Li Ping and Hou Cheng to the north, a quick battle, and strive to eliminate it all before dawn. As for Ma Xue'er, who was seriously ill, she naturally acted with a team of Li Ping, who was relatively safe.

He Bai and Cheng Qi led their troops to the south, and halfway through, a team of men and horses sent by Cheng Qi returned to the team and told He Bai that they had killed all the thieves. This is a move to vent his anger, and he did it, He Bai didn't say anything. He only led the troops towards the nearest grain station to which the captives had confessed.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, He Bai finally led his troops to a grain station. The army crawled forward in the grain station, and after ten minutes, finally approached the grain station. Although there was an enemy situation before, the thieves in the middle of the night still inevitably slept, and most of the men and horses went into the camp to rest, and only a few people insisted on standing guard and patrolling the night.

After waiting for another half an hour, I saw a thief coming from the south unhurriedly, and soon after entering the grain storage point, he went out again. He Bai estimated that he had already left three or four miles away, and when he couldn't hear the sound of fighting, he immediately prepared to attack.

Shilling ordered four teams of men and horses to surround the camp in four directions to prevent the thieves from escaping, and led 300 men to attack with Cheng Qi. Because the grain storage point is located in the rear of the thieves, there are no traps, antlers and other precautions. So for He Bai Yijun, there is a lot less trouble.

While prostrating, he moved his hands and feet, which were already a little numb from cold, and after two slight bowstring sounds, the two thieves guarding the door suddenly snorted and fell to the ground. He Bai put away his bow and arrows and glanced appreciatively at a general beside him. The night attack is to kill with one blow without making a sound.

After opening the gate of the village, he ordered the whole army to rush forward and kill, but it was absolutely impossible to make the slightest shout. After the soldiers received the order, they divided into left, center, and right roads, and when they saw the camp tent, they drilled and quietly began to kill people.

He Bai walked in the middle and set an example to demonstrate the means of silent killing to the soldiers. However, not long after, a thief's death-defying scream still inevitably alarmed the thieves in Quantun. The thieves rushed out of the tent in a hurry, most of them naked, carrying a ring knife in their hands, and looked around.

The thieves were shocked to find that countless officers and soldiers wearing white cloaks had entered the tun, and most of the 150 thieves in the tun had disappeared. Only the faint smell of blood in mid-air told the thieves that they had already died. The panicked thieves, led by a loud thief, headed towards the officers and soldiers who had pounced.

He Bai held two iron whips in his hand and took the lead towards the thief. The thief's ring knife was light and fast, flashed He Bai's head-to-head blow, and the ring knife in his hand stabbed towards He Bai's chest and abdomen. This move is very insidious, and the sword move is used with a ring knife that is good at chopping, which is faster than the iron whip that mainly hits, and the last strike comes first.

However, the thief forgot that He Bai used a double iron whip, and those who used two-handed weapons would definitely leave one hand for self-defense. Just as the ring knife was approaching, He Bai's left whip just went up a square, breaking the ring knife, and the castrated right hand whip slammed down.

The blow hit the thief's right shoulder where the knife was held, and only a soft sound was heard, and the shoulder bone was shattered by a single blow. As soon as the thief's scream sounded, He Bai struck another backhand, and suddenly his head burst out, and his brain flew several feet away, hitting a thief who was raising a knife. Just when the thief was shocked by the tragic situation of the thief, He Bai struck again, and fell down without resistance.

He Bai sighed, raised his whip and wanted to kill the thief, but the soldiers who came in had already surrounded the thieves, either in groups of three or in teams of five, so that the thieves had no power to fight back. In less than two or three minutes, the whole Tun thief was swept away.

Cheng Qi rushed to the sky and said, "My lord, there are ninety-nine good horses, and our army's assault horses have mounts." ”

He Bai smiled slightly, because the light bow cavalry of the army had a large number of horses, it once reached more than 1,000 horses. And the white horse Yicong rode because there was no good horse, so it has been maintained at about 300 horses. Nominally, it is a assault horse, but it is still a light bow cavalry, and it does not have much assault ability.

This time, if you can get thousands of good horses from Guo Daxian's thief department, not to mention that there are horses in the sudden, even if the white horse servants have a good white horse and good horse, they can do it. Therefore, He Bai was also very happy.
