"Trash! You deserve to die!" Hujalu was furious when he heard that a Niulu leader under his command had come in unexpectedly and had his head chopped off by a Daqi scout. He lost his troops before even seeing the enemy, which was a loss of face.
Somewhat big.
"The Daqi scouts are all mounted on dragon-scaled horses. We can't catch up with them. The leader's horses are bloody horses. If we chase them, we must have encountered an ambush from the Daqi people. Only then did the Daqi cavalry ride on them.
.”
When Hujalu heard this, he immediately asked in surprise: "All the Daqi scouts ride dragon-scale horses? How can a small Chiyang Guard get so many dragon-scale horses?"
"My servant has seen it with his own eyes, and it is absolutely true. The mounts of the Daqi scouts are all dragon-scaled horses. There are more than ten of them."
"No wonder none of the scouts went back. It turned out that they encountered the dragon scale horse cavalry. The dragon scale horse's leg strength is extraordinary, and its speed is much faster than the sweat-blooded horse. Once it is entangled by the dragon scale horse cavalry,
How can ordinary scouts escape unscathed? Which direction did those dragon scale horse cavalry flee to?" Hujalu asked.
"Wherever the dragon-scaled horse goes, it leaves clear footprints. Following the dragon-scaled horse's footprints, it is not difficult to find the enemy's traces."
"Then find these Daqi people! No one is allowed to rush in greedy for credit, otherwise I will chop off his head!" Hujalu has now understood the situation. He could have returned to the camp immediately and reported the situation to Prince Aoyang.
, but he had a bad start and lost a Niulu leader. If he went back in despair, he would be punished by Prince Aoyang. Therefore, Hujalu planned to take advantage of his merits and get a few dragon-scaled horses back. This would not only be useless.
Sin, but merit.
But Hujalu is not stupid. He knows that once he divides his troops to pursue them, they will be defeated by the dragon scale horse cavalry of Da Qi. As long as 1,500 cavalry are gathered together, Da Qi's dragon scale horse scouts will be unable to do anything to the barbarian cavalry.
.Once he finds the place where the Daqi dragon-scaled horse cavalry is staying, he will have the opportunity to surround the dragon-scaled horse cavalry. As long as he surrounds and kills all these Daqi scouts, those dragon-scaled horses will definitely fall into his bag.
middle.
Naturally, Xu Bazhi would not clean up the traces left along the way. He was also worried that the barbarian cavalry would be lost. If he were not worried about the suspicion of the barbarians, Xu Bazhi would even want to beat gongs and drums all the way to lead the barbarian cavalry forward.
Xu Bazhi walked forward for more than ten miles and met Chen Xiaochu rushing back with two team members.
"Xiaochu, why are there only three of you rushing back? Where is Hu Baihu?" Xu Bazhi asked with some disappointment.
"Lao Ba, don't worry. There are too many people and horses coming, and there is too much noise. What should we do if the barbarian dogs are scared away? Hu Baihu asked us to come back and tell you to lead the barbarian dogs to a valley ahead. Wait until the barbarian dogs enter.
Let’s block both ends of the valley so that no barbarian dog can escape,” Chen Xiaochu said.
"Great. I was worried that the wild dogs would run away." Xu Bazhi said with a smile.
"How could it be? Third Young Master is eager to have such a good opportunity." Chen Xiaochu led Xu Bazhi and others to the ambush location prepared in advance.
Following the traces left by Xu Bazhi and his party, Hujalu was not totally unwary.
"You must keep an eye on me. If you see anything wrong, you must tell me in time." Hujalu looked around from time to time, hoping to see some disdain.
"Lord Commander, there are only traces of these dragon-scaled horses on this road, and they ran away. They should not have prepared an ambush so quickly. In addition, our encounter with them was accidental, and they could not have prepared in advance." Another Niu Lu
The leader Aginai said.
Hujalu nodded: "But don't underestimate the people of Daqi. Du Changgeng has fought with our barbarians for so many years. This man is very resourceful and can often win by surprise. In Chiyang Guard, we have to be on guard."
Even though he said that, Hujalu still didn't want to give up tracking those dragon-scale horses easily. If he didn't take these dragon-scale horses into his own pocket, he would definitely have trouble sleeping and eating in the future. Besides, there might be a good opportunity to get dragon-scale horses here.
Du Xuan had already deployed a thousand dragon-scaled horse cavalry at the front and rear of a valley. The dragon-scaled horses could easily walk on any complex terrain. Du Xuan took advantage of this characteristic of the dragon-scaled horses and arranged the dragon-scaled horses on the steep slopes.
In the dense forest, it is placed in a location that is difficult for barbarians to imagine.
"All traces have been cleaned up." Temur walked to Du Xuan and said.
When it comes to setting traps and clearing traces, the people of the Black Bear Tribe are the best at it. Temur personally led a group of young people from the Black Bear Tribe to clean up all the traces left by the march in the valley. Now even if Hujalu comes to check it in person
, and it is difficult to find even a trace.
Du Xuan nodded: "Brother Temur, thank you for your hard work."
A thousand dragon-scaled horse cavalry passed through the valley with great momentum, but now it suddenly fell silent, and not even the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects could be heard.
"This won't work. If the opponent is a powerful hunter, he might see the flaw." Temur frowned.
"What's the flaw?" Du Xuan asked.
"It's too quiet. There are many wild beasts, insects and birds in the woods, so it can't be so quiet. So, if the other party is an experienced hunter, he will notice the problem here as soon as he comes in." Temur said.
"There is nothing we can do about it. When we entered the valley, there was so much movement that all the birds and beasts here were frightened away by us," Du Xuan said.
"Let me think of a solution." Temur picked a leaf, folded it and put it in his mouth. The clear and melodious chirping of birds immediately echoed in the valley.
Immediately afterwards, birdsong sounded from everywhere. At first, the young people from the Black Bear Tribe showed off their talents and used various methods to imitate the birdsong. There were many types of birdsong. Later, various birds in the mountains also followed suit.
stand up.
"Should there be no problem now?" Du Xuan asked.
"It's better. In fact, if you are an expert, you can't be deceived either. I hope you won't meet such an expert," Temur said.
Gotta get.
Twelve cavalrymen riding dragon-scaled horses entered the valley, stopped on a flat ground in the valley, picked up the dry food in their hands and started eating. The dragon-scaled horses also ran to areas with lush green grass to forage.
This group of people is naturally the team of Xu Bazhi and Chen Xiaochu. They pretended to have escaped from the barbarian pursuers. They are now exhausted and are repairing here. The dragon-scaled horses are also a little hungry and are looking for food here.
It didn't take long for one of Hujalu's armored men and horses to arrive at the mouth of the valley. Seeing this terrain, Hujalu couldn't help but frowned. Once he entered the valley, he was blocked at both ends, but he could just close the door and beat the dog.
.
"Your Majesty, the Daqi scouts are resting in the valley. They are now dismounted and eating dry food. The dragon-scaled horses are foraging for food. There is no abnormality seen in the valley. At this time, we suddenly appeared in front of the Daqi scouts and violently attacked with bows and arrows.
They must not have had time to mount their horses and escape." Aginai secretly inquired about the situation at the mouth of the valley.
