The weather was exceptionally cold tonight, and the cold wind became bitter from the afternoon.

At night, the sky began to fall with snowflakes, and now it is even more snowfeathered.

This may be a bit unpleasant for others, but for Zhao Ming, it is particularly beautiful.

The snow slowed down the sound of horses' hooves to a minimum, and even so, Zhao Ming didn't dare to let everyone hurry, but slowly groped forward.

According to the original time, they would start at eleven o'clock and arrive three miles away from the enemy's position at about one o'clock in the morning.

Then, based on the sound of the cannon on that side, decide whether to make a swift charge.

He handed over all the grenades sent by Lao Guo to Wang Er and them to use.

Wang Er, on the other hand, set off early and started at eight o'clock.

After all, the road is long and condensed on the ice, and the road is narrow, so you can only tie cloth to the soles of your shoes and hike for dozens of miles.

Without a horse, this is a very fatal point, but Zhao Ming can only hope that they can use these grenades and the guns in their hands to catch each other off guard.

It's best to be able to grab a horse.

According to the forecast, they will be able to reach the vicinity at about one o'clock, with half an hour to rest and recuperate.

And Zhao Ming's side is waiting for the other party's explosion.

Along the way, Zhao Ming's side was also cautious, and the scouts scattered a lot, just to avoid the enemy scouts, and if they couldn't do it, they would quickly solve the other party.

It was now about twelve o'clock in the evening, and they were a little faster, and they were already less than ten miles away from the enemy's position, and they were lucky enough to encounter several scouts, but they narrowly avoided them.

As he got closer and closer, Rao is Zhao Mingxin was a little nervous.

This is not as simple as a surprise attack, but a surprise attack in the face of real heavy firepower, which is completely different from the previous situation.

There will inevitably be a lot of casualties among them, that's for sure.

Cavalry has many advantages, and the disadvantages are also very fatal, and they are not good at attacking fortifications, and attacking fortifications is to seek death.

Although there have been many great results of cavalry attacks in modern times, there have even been cases where a small number of casualties have captured a large number of heavy firepower units.

But that is only a few, the right time and place, plus the commander's keen sense of smell on the battlefield can produce this effect.

In the battle between the cavalry and the cavalry, Zhao Ming was already very confident, but in the face of heavy firepower, he was also the first time that his new daughter-in-law was on the sedan chair.

After all, the situation here is not comparable to the Battle of Fengxiang.

Before World War I, cavalry played a pivotal role in the world, but after World War I, cavalry was reduced to a second-rate service.

The Battle of the Somme sounded the death knell for the cavalry.

After all, there had never been any offensive class on land that was as efficient as cavalry.

During the entire First World War, the United States requisitioned about one million war horses, and in the end only 200 returned home alive, which shows their war losses.

The domestic battlefield must not be as crazy as a meat grinder, but Zhao Ming does not deny that in the face of heavy firepower, cavalry is a toy.

"It looks like this mine must be done! Heavy firepower, others have to have it, and Lao Tzu must have it! ”

He muttered silently in his heart, but at this moment, several scouts quickly ran back into the distance.

Because there were no torches, many of the brothers reacted a little aggressively, but they were able to distinguish their men with a relatively slight whistle.

"What's up ahead?"

Seeing that these people were so eager, Zhao Ming also hurriedly said.

"Zhao... Zhao Ye! Something is wrong! There are a lot of Outer Mongolian scouts ahead! ”

"A large number of Outer Mongolian scouts?"

Zhao Ming was shocked when he heard this, what is the situation?

"Out of nowhere?"

"That's right! It's just that there seem to be a lot more Mongolian scouts, and if we hadn't run fast, we would have been discovered by them. ”

The scout brother was still a little puzzled, it was not unseen that he had seen a Outer Mongolian scout along the way before, but the intensity was completely incomparable to the current one.

Listening to what the scout brother said, Zhao Ming was a little confused.

"Strange! Do the Outer Mongolians also have action tonight? Zhang Kai on the side rubbed his chin, also feeling incomprehensible.

"Pass the order down and tell everyone to stay put!"

Zhao Ming gave an exhortation to the monkey, and with a distinctive whistle, the team that was still slowly marching in front of him began to stop.

"Lao Zhang, do you think it's the Outer Mongolians who have action?" Zhao Ming looked at Zhang Kai.

After all, people have been in the army for so many years, and they are relatively more professional.

"Hmmm! It's just a guess, after all, this scout is scattered in large numbers, and there is a high probability that the main force is pulling out, otherwise there is no reason to suddenly have so many eyes. ”

Zhang Kai nodded, he was not very sure, this was not the Central Plains after all, and he was not sure if it was right to use the same set on the battlefield in the Central Plains.

Hearing this, Zhao Ming was a little embarrassed.

Now there are two options, first, the other party may not be the main force, it may be a routine reconnaissance, but the scale has been expanded a little.

In this way, it is best to go around to avoid startling the snake.

However, if they do not make a detour, they will inevitably alert the main forces of the opposing station, and then they will face a well-prepared heavy fire defense, and this night attack will be a complete failure.

The reason why this night attack was chosen is also because of the cold weather, and those who sleep during this time period sleep very deeply, and the vigilance is also greatly weakened.

But if it is the second possibility, the other party is really the main force, if it is avoided, then this is a major fighter missed.

In the darkness of the night, if they could wait for the arrival of the enemy's main force with such a sudden attack, the results would be unimaginable.

But what if not?

The hesitation was only less than a minute, and Zhao Ming quickly made up his mind.

"What's your name?"

Zhao Ming looked at the scout brother who had reported the news.

In the dark night, Zhao Ming couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but he could vaguely see that this was a somewhat rickety brother, and his age should not be young.

"Hehe, Zhao Ye, my name is Li Erdan!"

"Do you dare to take your people to touch the scouts?"

"Dare!"

Li Erdan almost didn't hesitate at all, grinning and nodded, as if he was still smiling.

"Good! You lead your men to the north with the scouts! Load, don't shoot, use arrows! It's as if they suddenly found them, and they found you too, can you do it? ”

"Acting, I'm familiar with this, Zhao Ye, don't worry, it's on me!"

Li Erdan patted his chest with a smile, Zhao Ming couldn't see his eyes clearly, and could only vaguely feel that the other party's eyes seemed to be shining.

"Good! You can rest assured that I will take care of everything at home after you go! ”

Zhao Ming patted the other party on the shoulder, he didn't know this brother, but he knew that the current scout brothers were all formed by Brother Zhen Songjun brought by Zhang Kaixin, and cooperated with some herdsmen brothers.

It is also considered to be complementary, as local herders tell them how to distinguish their orientation on the grassland, as if they were judging the distance of a target by ground tremors.

They told the herdsmen some tips for spouting.

Li Erdan left, and hurriedly disappeared into the night again with the five members of his team.
