Chapter 114 The rumblings of the wind (1) [Additional update for AT 10,000 rewards]
At about three-thirty in the afternoon, the homing pigeon flew back to Suifeng Dun and entered the room where Ali was.
If you don't bother to move even a little bit, the injured eye will be in severe pain.
Ali got up quickly and fed the pigeons a handful of wheat grains and a little water as a reward.
After doing all this, she took out a piece of paper from the pouch on her paw and saw a crooked word 'OK'.
After seeing this, Ali's mood immediately became intensely excited.
Such a result is equivalent to verifying a possibility in her mind: in future missions, she can use her animal affinity to cultivate some birds for the team to pass information.
Because the speed of transmission by carrier pigeons is far more convenient and secretive than human power.
For example, now, AT and others who are ambushing around the Tatar army can actually analyze that the Tatar camp tonight will be the area they are most looking forward to after seeing the convoy's constant troubles.
Immediately, two more hunters were dispatched and ran back to report the good news.
But how can human legs compare to the flying speed of pigeons? Pigeons can generally fly at 70 kilometers per hour, or even higher.
Moreover, the flight is still in a straight line, so there is no need to go over mountains and ridges and travel in vain.
In other words, after Fengrui adopted the method of flying pigeons to pass messages this time, it saved them at least three or four hours, allowing them to set off in advance.
And under the current circumstances, not to mention three or four hours, even one hour, or even half an hour, will be very critical.
Later, when Hu Biao saw the news brought back by the carrier pigeon, he finally let go of his last worries.
After shouting something in his mouth to set off, he immediately took all the horses, a large number of people, various supplies and equipment, and strode away in the direction of the Tatars.
Suddenly, in the huge Suifeng Dun, only Ali, a few seriously wounded people, including twenty thousand, were left, plus Zhang Xiu Niang with her child.
Counting Xie Guangkun, the total number of people did not exceed ten.
It can be said that they have put all their efforts into this battle.
Before leaving, Hu Biao did not forget to bring several large boxes and bags. He found A Li and Er Wan and hurriedly explained to them.
He told the two of them that if the mission failed, it would be fine and they would finish it together.
If you hear the news that the mission has been completed, immediately carry these things on your back, carry them, anyway, because you have to rely on these things to improve everyone's poor financial situation.
After all, many of their veterans have turned to Teacher Ma and Brother Dong for help.
Before the turnaround, Teacher Ma and Brother Dong were still very easy to talk to, but once the time came and they didn't return the favor, the fun would be over...
In this way, Hu Biao and the others set off, intentionally leaving behind some secret notes while AT and others were walking along the way.
With everyone working hard, the efficiency of the journey was quite good.
It should be noted that when the sky gradually darkened, the large troops left their scheduled battlefield: Sunjiagou.
There are still three hours and twenty miles of road left.
At such a time, the situation of soldiers and civilians with night blindness gradually became a little worse.
There is no way! In the night sky tonight, there is only a moonlight that is not very bright, and it is always covered by the clouds in the sky.
In order to keep their movements concealed, those people with night blindness cannot travel with torches.
In addition, for tonight's operation, they brought many animal traps, nail boards and other traps prepared in advance, as well as various DIY weapons.
With the addition of armor and weapons, everyone's burden is heavy.
In response to this situation, Hu Biao took the lead and bit a wooden stick into his mouth, and wrapped a straw rope around his waist.
Seeing this, other people followed suit one after another, and even the horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth.
Using this method of "a man holds his hat and the horse wraps his hoof", he continued to move forward.
During such a process, everyone even breathed as lightly as possible; a team of hundreds of people, like a ghost army, gradually approached the goal...
****
At about 10 o'clock in the evening, Hu Biao found the AT group in a bush, wearing a wicker hat on their head and many branches and leaves hanging on their bodies.
At that time, AT and others were still observing the movements in the Tatar camp.
"How is the situation?" Hu Biao lowered his voice and asked after lying down next to AT.
"Fengrui did a great job and successfully got the Tatars to camp here in Sunjiagou; it's just that they seem to have found some clues and now have some precautions, so this battle at night is not so easy."
AT also lowered his voice and answered, with an indescribable solemnity in his voice.
After hearing this, Hu Biao quickly looked towards the temporary Tatar camp several miles away.
Sunjiagou is a small village sandwiched between two mountains. It is said that all the villagers have the surname Sun, so it has such a name.
It's just that in such a war-torn year, all the people in the village have long since fled, and the village has long been ruined.
Therefore, through the large number of rising fires, Hu Biao could see that the Tatars had set up a very strict camping site in a narrow open space in a valley.
After the large animals were unloaded from many large vehicles, they were placed outside the camp.
With the large vehicles connected end to end, a circle of vehicles was immediately formed.
At the same time, in order to enter and exit, the Tatars left a gap, but there were many heavily armored Tatars in the gap, guarding behind some improvised defensive horses, and they had strong defensive capabilities.
In addition, Hu Biao can clearly see it through careful observation.
There were probably at least a hundred Tatars guarding the edge of the car formation, and there was a Tatar every few steps away.
They didn't sleep at such a late hour. From time to time, they fired a burning rocket into the night outside. It could be said that there was no dead space left for defense.
In the car formation, a group of captured people were placed on the left, guarded by about fifty or sixty Tatars.
On the right side is the large Tatar army. A large number of tents have been temporarily set up. A relatively larger and more luxurious tent is surrounded by it. It looks like the tent of the enemy chief Baiyintu.
Next to the tent, there were a large number of tied war horses.
In short, the Tatar camp is very strict and the defenses are quite cautious.
It can't be said that it is an iron barrel-like formation, but it is not so powerful; but it completely eliminates any possibility of someone sneaking in and then launching an attack.
It's just that when Hu Biao made the plan, he never thought that the Tatars would make stupid mistakes that would give them an advantage at night.
On the contrary, the Tatars, who are at the peak of their fighting power at this age, must have made strict preparations in the camp.
Immediately, he lowered his voice and continued to explain:
"AT, you guys have worked hard. Now go look for Lang Qing a little behind. They are squatting in the mountain col about two miles away.
Not only did I bring your equipment, but I also brought some cooked horsemeat dry food.
After quickly eating some horse meat to fill our stomachs, we will seize the time to rest for a few hours; we will officially start the war at around 4 o'clock in the morning according to the original plan.
No matter what happens before that, don’t worry about it, just rest peacefully.”
After AT and a few hunters who had been busy all day carefully controlled their pace, they quietly retreated and began to eat and rest.
Hu Biao said to Yang Dongli again: "Old Yang, start preparations immediately according to the plan.
Try to start making noise at eleven o'clock.
Anyway, don’t let them have a good rest before we take action; we must torture them until their nerves weaken and their combat effectiveness is seriously reduced.”
Yang Dongli didn't say much after hearing this. He greeted Xu Er, Youbing and others and left.
In the following time, these people took some soldiers and civilians without night blindness and quietly prepared in the mountains and forests outside the Tatar camp.
As for what was being prepared, it was naturally clear after it was used on the Tatars soon after.
Anyway, there is only one principle, let these bandit-like Tatars know what the legendary turmoil is...
