At noon, Hu Biao and other people who stayed in Suifeng Dun ate fifteen kilograms of rice, ten kilograms of pork and many vegetables in one go.
While Xie Gui and the others were silently swallowing their saliva, they began to fall asleep.
You know! In the past few years, Xie Gui's life has been a little easier by hugging his brother-in-law's thigh, but it's not like he can just have a good meal.
For example, these military households were eating rice and flour every day, and even he was extremely jealous.
As for Ma Ming and other servants, they could barely keep their stomachs full; most of the time, they still ate sorghum, millet and other grains, and rice and white flour were only an occasional meal.
Where can I have a big bowl of white rice topped with a big spoonful of oily braised pork like guys like Hu Biao currently do?
If one bowl is not enough, then have another bowl until you are full.
For a moment, smelling the scent of meat lingering in the air, Xie Gui and others' hatred for Hu Biao and the other military households under his command became even stronger.
Of course, there is also some very secret envy in it.
It's just that Hu Biao, who was envied by them, knew clearly that he must have a good rest now to reserve strength for the night's actions; but every time he forced himself to fall asleep, he would wake up again every half an hour or so.
There is no way! This is because they are worried that even now, Lao Yang and the other two people are still unable to come back for a long time.
On the one hand, they were worried about whether they would be able to escape if they were discovered by the Tatars during the investigation.
On the other hand, Lao Yang and the others had just arrived and were not familiar with the surrounding terrain at all. If they could not meet the Tatars, whether they could find the Tatar campsite was also a problem.
If the target cannot be discovered, then this night attack operation will ultimately be a bubble in the water.
This situation continued until the sky darkened again and the freshly killed mutton was stewed in a large pot in front of Hu Biao and others after they got up. Lao Yang and others still did not come back.
Suddenly, people stopped talking about Hu Biao, and even every other netizen gradually became desperate.
They thought that Yang Dongli, AT, Huang Yizhi and other three people might have met the Tatars, and then a result they least wanted to see occurred.
Damn it! It’s over, the night attack plan was not completed, and three experienced veterans were involved.
And tomorrow, Xie Gui, the boss of his immediate boss, Zhou Baihu, is coming to Suifengdun. Perhaps because of this reason, the expressions of Xie Gui and others have become more awesome since the afternoon.
The vicious eyes he looked at them became more and more unscrupulous.
Fortunately, at such a moment, a voice full of surprise sounded like the sound of nature:
"Look, Lao Hu, it should be Lao Yang and the others who are back~"
To be honest, in his more than 20 years of life, Hu Biao has never been so excited when he saw the faces of these gentlemen.
Good guy, the kind that made me cry at that time...
By the way! At around 8 o'clock in the evening, Lao Yang, AT, Huang Yizhi and three other people finally returned to Suifeng Dun, looking embarrassed and dusty.
While the three of them were devouring mutton stew, they were describing the situation.
Hu Biao and other people left behind realized that these three guys, with the help of some good luck, had finally lived up to their trust and found the Tatar camp.
Specifically, in the southwest direction.
About twenty miles away from Suifeng Dun, there is a small village that has long been abandoned.
The three of them worked almost all night last night, and worked all morning during the day. In the end, they achieved nothing and were almost completely desperate.
Finally at noon, I discovered this abandoned village.
And in an open space in the village, traces of someone who had recently spent the night were found.
After some discussion, we decided to hide from a distance and observe, betting that the Tatars would become careless and paralyzed after many days of smooth sailing.
I was so careless that I didn't change the campsite every day, and would return here to spend the night at night.
It turns out that the three of them made the right bet.
At about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, they saw a group of Tatars riding war horses returning here with some plundered women and some supplies.
Immediately, the three of them slowly exited the latent observation point and began to return to Suifeng Dun to report the news.
However, the sky quickly turned dark, and the three of them hurriedly hurried along in the darkness, and it was only at this time that they rushed back to Suifeng Dun.
After hearing the news from Lao Yang and others, Hu Biao and others did not set off immediately.
Just kidding! Every one of the netizens here has rich knowledge of Internet literature.
It has been said in online articles that the human body is most tired around 3 o'clock in the morning, and the spirit is naturally more relaxed. It is definitely the best time for sneak attacks.
Basically, every time a time traveler launches a night attack, it is at this time.
After all, there is more or less scientific truth to this statement.
So Hu Biao and the others simply suppressed their thoughts, closed their eyes and rested, and continued to rest until about ten o'clock in the evening, when they all set off from Suifeng Fort.
Yes, all! A lot.
The girl Lian Ali brought Xie Guangkun and a flying stone rope with her to act together.
It's not that Hu Biao and the others didn't know what to do and brought a girl and a baby with them at such a critical moment, but they had a very compelling reason.
They were worried that after they left, Xie Gui and others would do some unexplainable things to a delicate white-haired girl like A Li.
Hu Biao and the others really couldn't believe these guys who could kill good people and take credit for their crimes.
As for taking Ali with him, he only needed to find a place in advance and hide her and Xie Guangkun a few miles away from the location of the night attack.
There is no need to worry about Xie Guangkun's crying, which exposed their actions in advance.
Finally, with this plan in mind, the group walked out of Suifeng Castle silently under the starry sky.
At that time, Hu Biao looked back behind him and vaguely saw Xie Gui looking at him from a distance behind an earthen wall, but he did not make any sound.
After spitting heavily at the figure whose expression was unclear.
Hu Biao didn't take this villain seriously.
If their night attack succeeds, they can completely silence this guy with their solid military capabilities; otherwise, if they don't succeed, they will probably die in the fight, and there is no need to worry about this villain.
*******
Around two o'clock in the middle of the night, Hu Biao and the others came across a ditch that had dried up long ago.
This place is about 200 meters away from the camp where the Tatars are located, and it is downwind. As long as everyone moves carefully enough, there should be no need to worry about being heard by the Tatars.
After successfully arriving at the ambush site, Hu Biao quietly poked his head out and looked toward the Tatar camp.
I saw the Tatars raising a big fire behind a broken earth wall.
There were nine of them in total, and they were the same people who fought with Hu Biao and the others that day and then retreated in a hurry.
Eight of them had already gone to bed one after another in the middle of the night. They did not sleep together, but separated themselves a little distance in twos and threes.
However, there is one person from the Tartars, who is holding a bow in one hand and sitting by the fire to keep vigil.
About ten meters away from the fire, there were several women in ragged clothes, curled up and sobbing; there were even two naked women lying on the ground for a long time without moving, and they thought they had lost their voices.
.
Hu Biao and the others remembered that this group of Tatars originally had twenty-three or four war horses.
Only two or three days had passed, and now there were seven or eight more mules and horses, as well as two cows and several sheep, presumably all recently stolen by the Tatars.
They were all tied to one side of the camp, and they looked quite large.
These days, every common person doesn't regard these big animals as more precious than their own lives; so the process must be full of blood and killing.
Thinking of this, Hu Biao wanted to rush forward and kill all the bandits one by one.
But he knew that he must continue to wait patiently.
What are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting for the Tatars who are keeping vigil at night to feed the war horses again, and then wait until after three o'clock when they are even more sleepy, and then start taking action.
In this way, time gradually passed for about forty or fifty minutes.
Hu Biao and the others saw the Tatar who was keeping watch at night, feeding their war horses with some concentrate that should be composed of beans and wheat grains.
This is a basic operation to prevent war horses from losing weight and reducing their physical strength and speed during long battles.
Although Hu Biao and others have never raised horses, they still know these theories thanks to the modern dimension, which far exceeds the knowledge of this era.
After seeing this scene, they knew that it would be very soon before the formal action was taken...
