Chapter 1395 Breaking the Balance
Thanks to book friends: The "waste of calligraphy and painting" for the great rewards!
...
Fang Xing was very tired, but he didn't dare to slack off. As soon as he set up a camp, he took people to check the camp.
"Brother, the only thing that can be considered is the food route. In addition, unless the Kazakhstan all come, we should be able to traverse this grassland."
"The scale of the enemy's scouts should be about one thousand people. If calculated based on this, the enemy should be around twenty thousand people. However, the officials thought they might be here to spy on the small groups of enemy troops in the Ming Dynasty and sent these people to inquire about the situation of our army."
"Brother, there is another Yilibali worth paying attention to. This place has never been a territory that the Central Plains can hold firmly. If they want to follow the Halie people to take advantage, then we will be attacked several times."
Lin Qun'an and Chen De were constantly analyzing the situation at this time. Fang Xing nodded slightly and said, "Yili split the country many times. Unless the Ming Dynasty failed, they would definitely not dare to get involved. Well... Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Halie and Ola join forces to provide certain benefits to lure them to send troops."
After patrolling the defenses in various places, he woke up and returned to his tent, so tired that he didn't want to unload his armor.
"master."
When Xin Laoqi came in, Fang Xing stood up with a wry smile, stretched out his arms, and asked him to help him untie his armor.
Fang Wu also came and reported: "Master, the enemy is in the northwest. Can you go to the sentry tonight?"
“No need.”
Fang Xing took off his armor and felt relaxed all over. He moved his body and said, "If there are tens of thousands of enemy troops, they will definitely approach the provocate, instead of sending multiple scouts to take turns to test. This is the caution of the enemy generals. I judge that they will also approach the provocate in the camp at night, and be more alert at night."
Fang Wu responded and went out with Xin Laoqi.
The sunset shines, and the camp is like a giant beast standing on the grassland, with smoke everywhere.
Fang Wu and Xin Laoqi had supper casually and went to work hard.
But Fang Xing fell asleep.
Sleeping when others are busy and awake when others are sleeping is wonderful and lonely.
Fang Xing stood behind the fence on the edge of the camp, holding a piece of oil cake in his hand and eating slowly.
It was pitch black in the distance, but Fang Xing believed that in the darkness, the enemy's scouts were slowly approaching.
...
After the army set up camp, the eagle would set out to provoke everywhere, and the light and dark whistle would immediately arrange the place.
The grassland is a natural hidden area, which facilitates hidden whistles and also facilitates the lurking access of enemy scouts.
There are many mosquitoes here, but they cannot find enough food, so once they find prey, they will launch crazy attacks.
At this moment, there were two people lurking in the grass. Under the invasion of mosquitoes, they remained motionless and merged with the grass.
The sound of insects continues, listening to it makes people sleepy.
I don’t know how long it took, but the sound of insects suddenly stopped...
No matter how skillful you are, no matter how powerful you are, as long as you move in the grass, you will inevitably alarm mosquitoes and make sounds.
The rustling sound gradually became clearer and clearer. The two of them did not move, even their eyes narrowed, for fear that the light reflected by the enemy would be discovered.
A head suddenly raised up in the grass and searched around. After not finding it, he was about to lurk again...
Just halfway through his head, a black shadow suddenly jumped up and then slammed heavily on the man.
There was a struggle in the grass until after a click, everything returned to silence.
After killing the opponent, the Daming whistle didn't dare to move.
There are murderous intent everywhere in the darkness. I don’t know how many enemy scouts are on this grass. However, this exposed scout cannot call for support.
Because when you shout, it will inevitably be a chaos, breaking the scheduled plan, and at the same time, if the camp is not done well, it will be alarmed.
The most taboo thing about a large army camp is to be alarmed, so it will give birth to tactics such as harassment, which is to make your opponent run away and weaken your combat effectiveness.
The mosquitoes seemed to be run away by the murderous aura, quietly.
Both sides were waiting, waiting for the other party to take action first, and the exposed scout became the target of public criticism.
This short scout confrontation was all in Fang Xing's eyes. He put down his telescope, turned around and looked at the gathered generals of thousands of households, and said lightly: "The enemy's scouts are very bold, this is to wear down patience. If the camp moves, then they can judge the origin of our army based on their weapons, the suicide squad!"
Chen De said: "Brother, if you don't have a team of cavalry, just sweep it!"
Lin Qun'an frowned and said, "Each division will definitely be alarmed, it's not good."
Wang He said with a smile: "They rely on bows and arrows, but we have crossbows! We directly sent scouts to serve them with crossbows. When they got up and fucked the bows and arrows, they had already been shot into honeycombs."
Fang Xing praised, "Yes, I mean that, I will do this, so I will send all the scouts to attack them, and let's fight the rabbits!"
No need to fire a musket, so the movement will be small.
"Immediately, orders all the officials in the army to make them look forward to their subordinates, and if someone is alarmed, they are not allowed to speak out."
"The cavalry prepared one thousand people to stand by! Twenty artillery pieces were prepared to stand by, and the Baoshan Guards came out to stand by a thousand households."
After a series of orders were issued, there was some movement in the camp, but with deliberate preparation, the sleeping soldiers did not alarm.
The camp gate opened, the torches were lit, and teams of scouts walked out of the camp with bows and crossbows under the cover of swords and shield soldiers.
The balance was broken, and dozens of black shadows suddenly stood up in the darkness. They were about to draw their bows and arrows, and a low shout came from the grass: "Bound arrow!"
No need to get up or risk being shot by arrows, dozens of crossbow arrows rushed out of the grass and rushed towards their own targets one by one.
Amid the howling, the sparse arrows also shot back, but only injured an open army's secret whistle.
Since the balance has been broken, the scouts who came out don't have to be afraid of it, so their paces began to accelerate and gradually turned into trotting.
The light emitted by the torch gradually advanced, and gradually the dark shadows appeared, all of them were scouts of the Oirats.
“******”
In the night wind, someone shouted violently, and then the Oirats turned around and ran wildly.
"put……"
The scout who arrived refused to miss this opportunity. A crossbow attack left half of the opponent's people, and the rest quickly disappeared into the night.
"My uncle, do you want to pursue me?"
Sun Yue was eager to try it out. The thousand cavalry were ready and could rush out with a command to chase the enemy's scouts.
Fang Xing put down his telescope and said, "The other party should have a cavalry to respond. It is not conducive to the fight at night for our army. Besides, they did not see our army's firearms, so take them back!"
Sun Yue sighed regretfully and then ordered the cavalry to disband.
But the artillery was not used, so Fang Xingling left a squad of gunners on duty and spare shotguns.
A group of secret whistles with a bag on their faces came back with a wounded man. Fang Xing looked at the arrow on his shoulder and frowned and said, "Why is the veil I gave you useless?"
A small flag official with a full face smiled and said, "Brother, the gauze is so thin, take it home...hehe!"
Fang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Qun'an, Chen De."
"My uncle, the lower official is aware of his crime."
The two quickly apologized. Fang Xing confessed that the secret whistle must be covered with veil, which was due to health considerations.
But these soldiers didn't like the yarn they sent to their hands, and most of them were going to stay and give it to the women at home after they went back.
"May I have your name?"
Fang Xing thought this little flag official was really weird.
