Chapter 182: The Action Begins With Parallel Swords 1/2
Chapter 182 The action begins (12 more updates for the parallel sword)
At about 8 o'clock in the evening, Yu Hanfeng took the initiative to ask Ying to go out for reconnaissance.
Also, because Hu Biao was worried about this guy going out alone, he asked the AT, Lao She and other three people to go out together and finally came back after some investigation.
Because at about five o'clock in the afternoon, a strong wind had already blown; the three of them escaped from the Shanshan soldiers at the gate, climbed over the wall and came in, covered in sand, making Lihan look like a gray-headed and dusty-faced man.
Immediately after returning, the three of them called Hu Biao and others and walked towards Ban Chao's room together.
Judging from the fact that the three of them came back with livid faces and barely spoke, what they detected was quite bad.
This is indeed the case, under the illumination of several oil lamps.
When AT, a professional, held a piece of charcoal in his hand and painted on pieces of silk, a building with three large courtyards soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
There are high walls, large trees with dense foliage, and even an artificial pond; it is nothing in the world of Han people, but in the Western Regions it can be described as a super mansion.
Over time, AT will represent the situation in which the Huns lived.
The specific sentry configuration, patrol lines and density are also marked one by one.
Yu Hanfeng pointed at the silk cloth and started telling the story one by one. After hearing this, everyone gasped, knowing that tonight's battle would be difficult.
.
"Outside the Grand Prince's private courtyard, there is a hill on the left.
We lay there and watched for a long time, and walked around the courtyard twice, so the information is quite reliable.
The courtyard is surrounded by high walls (2.76 meters) that are one foot and two meters high, and the defenses are quite tight, with three patrol teams constantly patrolling.
It's okay to sneak in with a few people, but with so many people, it's impossible to climb in and sneak in.
There were a total of 260 to 300 Huns in the courtyard, and there were also some male and female servants of the Hu people, numbering around 30 or 40 people.
The old snake could understand a little bit of the Huns' language. After lying in the corner and eavesdropping for a while, he learned that the Huns sent these useless people in order to frighten the Shanshan Kingdom, so the soldiers they sent this time were all elite warriors.
Almost everyone among them has armor, most of them are leather armor, and there are even a few with iron armor; the weapons also look sophisticated, at least much stronger than those horse bandits and sand bandits."
Having said this, Yu Hanfeng gave a rough explanation of the detected situation.
Compared with Ban Chao and others, after hearing the above content, they looked like they had a headache, and Hu Biao and others felt like their heads were about to explode.
Damn it! There is no need to doubt it at all. Compared with the Huns envoys in the records, this is definitely the system that secretly increased the difficulty.
The number of people is almost doubled, but the overall difficulty is more than doubled.
Moreover, according to the requirements of the mission release, Hu Biao and others had to kill them all without leaving any trace behind, which undoubtedly made it even more difficult.
The problem is that no matter how difficult it is, it still meets the requirements of the system tasks.
In order for Ban Chao and Ban Dingyuan to start their legendary lives smoothly, this task must be completed, and it must be completed beautifully.
Fortunately, when Hu Biao and others were having a headache, Ban Chao had already expressed his thoughts:
"You don't need to worry. Since we can't rush into the other courtyard, let the Huns come out on their own. There is a strong wind tonight, which is a good time to set fire.
We might as well send a few people with kerosene and tinder to set fires in various places in the other courtyard.
Another dozen people were sent to carry military drums and lurk secretly outside the back door of the courtyard where the Huns were, as well as on the left and right sides of the other courtyard.
Once they see a fire, these people will immediately beat drums and shout loudly.
The Huns thought they were at the back door, and there were many people ambushing them on both sides. They could only escape through the front door, but they did not dare to escape through the back door or over the walls on the left and right.
At that time, we will ambush around the front door. Once the Huns come out from the door, we will immediately kill them all.
Block the remaining people in the yard and burn them all."
After hearing such a statement, Hu Biao and others fell silent, trying to think of some better ways to achieve the same goal.
But for a moment, under their chaotic heads, nothing more could be thought of.
In the end, I could only nod silently and agree to do it...
In the following time, Hu Biao and the others began to deduce seriously again, and began to arrange all the details of the night attack plan one by one.
For example, they did some grouping of personnel.
First of all, the people who sneaked into the courtyard where the Huns lived and set fire to it would have other key tasks besides setting fire, so they had to be elite personnel.
After some selection, two veterans including Yu Hanfeng, Lao She, Er Pang, and an elite rookie were selected.
Together with Ban Chao's guard Tian Li, they formed a group of four and climbed over the left and right walls of the other courtyard to set fire first.
After the fire breaks out, there are other important tasks to perform.
As for the ten people who beat the drums and created a feint attack, the reason why there was no need for a fierce battle was that they naturally selected the ten weakest people from among the rookies.
In this way, even if they added Ban Chao, there were only 23 people left to face the enemy at the main gate.
He thought that with only 23 people, he would have to face ten times more enemies, and they were not the trashy sand bandits and horse bandits before, but the elite of the Huns.
For a moment, Hu Biao had a strong urge to scold his mother.
Only then did he finally understand one thing, those legendary stories that were talked about by countless people in later generations.
In fact, it was not as cool and calm as a feather fan and silk scarf when it was mentioned in later generations.
It was just a desperate fight when there was no way out.
*******
Since it was another night attack battle, Hu Biao and the others, who were somewhat experts in this aspect, naturally chose the time to be in the middle of the night, which was the prime time for a night attack.
After discussing all the details and explaining clearly what everyone needed to do next, everyone had another meal of boiled mutton to completely fill their stomachs.
It's just that we have to take action tonight and no one is drinking.
After eating, even if everyone was not sleepy, they all lay on the bed and closed their eyes for more than an hour.
It wasn't until the time was about one o'clock that the group of people took action.
The first thing they did was to knock out the six Shanshan soldiers and several servants guarding the gate and tie them up to prevent the news from leaking.
After doing all this, they took some horses and silk cloth and walked out of the gate.
In this year's battle, there was no need for cavalry at all. The reason why horses were brought was simply to carry the wounded after the war.
Therefore, the hooves of these war horses were wrapped in cloth in advance.
In order to prevent the sound of horse hooves from spreading far away and exposing their whereabouts in advance.
Based on the same conclusion, those silk cloths are also prepared for the aftermath of the war; if you are injured, you can use these silk cloths to wipe the blood.
If someone died in battle, it would naturally be used to wrap the body.
In short, for this battle at night, the group had already made a determination that if they failed, they would become Renren.
Compared to when they set off, everyone had firm and dignified expressions; at this time, Guo Xun and Guo Xun were already wrapped in quilts and fast asleep...
