Chapter 137: Going deep into the enemy's territory
On the top of the mountain, there were several bonfires. About fifty Dihuang cavalry gathered around the bonfires, whispering in low voices. There were several deer and hares on the bonfires, and the aroma of oil was overflowing. There were more than fifty war horses scattered beside them.
stood aside.
"grown ups!"
Seeing Fang Yun and his party coming up, some of them who knew Aguda quickly stood up and saluted. Di Huang yearned for the culture of the Central Plains, especially after Xie Daoyun returned from his study tour in the Central Plains, the military system was also reorganized, and school captains similar to those in the Central Plains were established.
Lieutenant, general and other positions.
"Um."
Fang Yun controlled Aguda and nodded majestically. A total of seven people, including Fang Yun, walked over. The people around him automatically moved aside to allow Fang Yun and others to sit down.
"Sir, here you go."
Next to him, someone soon handed over deer deer legs and rabbit body. Fang Yun took them without any courtesy, lowered his head and swallowed, while listening to the soft conversation of other Dihuang people.
Dihuang's scouts gather regularly to exchange information they have obtained from different places in the Zhou Dynasty. Then, they usually select a few representatives to pass the information back to the main camp, and then others continue to inquire.
From the conversations between these people, Fang Yun learned that yesterday, of the more than 300 spies from the Zhou Dynasty, more than 100 were intercepted and killed on the way. The remaining people fled deep into Dihuang.
"Fortunately, more than 200 people escaped."
Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The night still played a role, and many people still escaped. If the entire army was wiped out, it would be really troublesome. However, the reconnaissance had just begun, and three people were lost.
For one person, Xie Daoyun's methods can be seen clearly.
After eating the barbecue and resting for a while, the candidates who went back to deliver the message were also selected. There were more than ten people in total. Since Aguda had a relatively high position, Aguda was also among them. Fang Yun and others, who were subordinate to Aguda, naturally also
Counted into it.
"Mount."
The group of people ran towards the Di tribe's camp. On the way, Fang Yun and others were about to be interrogated soon.
"This Xie Daoyun actually used Yang Hong's dragnet formation for scouting."
Fang Yun recalled the interrogations he encountered on the road, and a network-like force distribution map suddenly appeared in his mind. Xie Daoyun's force distribution method almost blocked the map leading to Dihuang. Once the scouts at a certain point were attacked
Attack, and the scout teams from other points can immediately rush over to support. This move is very effective in dealing with the breakout of Da Zhou's scouts.
Although Aguda became Fang Yun's puppet, it did not affect his thinking. With his intervention, the problem was naturally solved along the way.
"Unfortunately, each golden picture corresponds to a level. My current ability can only seal warriors at the spirit level. Although warriors at the spirit level can be defeated, they cannot be sealed."
There are ten golden circle paintings in the Heaven and Earth Wanhua Bell. Fang Yun has only learned one so far. The situation with the powerful hand seal is that the stronger the user's inner strength, the more warriors can be sealed.
Fang Yun currently only has the power of three dragons, and a soul-level warrior can only seal up to twenty people. In the future, as his level increases, the number of soul-level warriors who can seal will increase accordingly. If he can reach the power of ten thousand dragons, then the number of seals will increase accordingly.
The abilities are almost endless, a large piece of paper is included in one letter!
"arrive!"
After about half a day, they finally arrived at Di Huang's army station. Fang Yun stood by the woods and looked around. He saw countless Di Huang's cavalry scattered across the ground in strict formations. The cavalry covered a very wide area.
Within the scope of the camp, there are even several majestic mountain peaks wrapped in it.
Seeing this spectacular scene, Fang Yun had to admire Xie Daoyun's army planning capabilities. Di Huang's military strength was hundreds of thousands less than that of Dazhou. But in the hands of this woman, the role of each cavalryman was
They were all used to their full potential.
With the ability of Marquis Zhongxin and hundreds of thousands more troops, he was unable to suppress her.
"Tanhua Lang is really powerful. The military strategies inherited from the Middle Earth are actually used to perfection in the hands of a foreign woman!"
The more Fang Yun came into contact with her, the more he was amazed by this woman.
"drive!"
With a horse under their belly, a group of more than ten people drove towards the army camp. When they were at the edge of the army, after being interrogated, everyone entered the army camp without any hindrance.
"You guys go and have a rest." Aguda waved his hand, and then walked to the captain's camp with several other captains, preparing to report the news.
All of this was naturally the result of Fang Yun's instructions. After A Gu beat him, everyone rode towards the camp.
Several tents were gathered together, with a fire burning in the middle. Fang Yun and others jumped off their horses and entered the tents. There were dry food and water inside, which were all for the scouts.
"We have to think of a way to describe the distribution of troops here and send it to Marquis Zhongxin."
Fang Yun was sitting in the tent, his mind moved, and he began to think about drawing a picture. It was obviously not enough to just rely on what he observed outside. He also needed to go deep into the depths of Di Huang's army and feel their actual situation.
"In the hands of Xie Daoyun, Dihuang's cavalry is already as good as the Zhou army. Her formation is strictly guarded and cannot be walked at will. The range of activities of the scouts is very limited. If you go out rashly, you will definitely find something wrong. You have to find out who they are.
activity patterns.”
Fang Yun opened the tent and walked outside, pretending to be casual. In his mind, he began to draw a distribution map of Di Huang's troops.
After staying outside for a while, in order not to arouse suspicion, Fang Yun returned to the tent. Then after a while, he went out again, observed for a while, and then returned to the tent. Such continuous observation and research. At night, Fang Yun
Then we figured out the distribution pattern of Xie Daoyun's troops.
"Things are ever-changing, and it is difficult to escape from the same clan. The people of Dihuang have no formations at all, so to speak of the art of war. No matter how smart Xie Daoyun is, she is still a human being after all. Her troop arrangement is completely a fusion of several formations from China."
Fang Yun immediately gained insights from this research. Xie Daoyun's troops were heavily guarded, but they were not completely without loopholes.
"If I spread the information about her troop deployment and the location of the army, it would be a great achievement. In the future, it is not impossible to be promoted to general."
Fang Yun took out the rice paper hidden on his body and spread it out. He took out the charcoal and with a few strokes, he immediately described the strength of Di Huang's army on the rice paper.
"Go ahead."
Fang Yun tied the written rice paper to the feet of the hummingbird. The hummingbird was made by Tiangong from the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court. It was made of steel, light and compact, much smaller than a sparrow.
As soon as Fang Yun input his internal energy, the hummingbird rolled his eyes and immediately seemed to come alive. A pair of wings fluttered, a thousand feet of distance passed by in a flash, and disappeared into the dark night in the blink of an eye.
"What a speed!"
Fang Yun was also secretly surprised. With his strength, he was far from being able to catch up with this hummingbird. He immediately understood why Marquis Zhongxin said that ordinary masters could not intercept it at all.
This hummingbird is not a bird, but it is much faster than a real flying bird!
"Now, you can explore the truth."
After Fang Yun recalled Aguda and several other scouts, he immediately disguised himself as a patrolling cavalry and took advantage of the darkness to explore the hinterland of the Dihuang army. In the dark night, the land of Dihuang was filled with bonfires, like stars, suspended in the night.
inside.
Fang Yun and his group of seven people walked all the way towards the depths of the army camp. Their faces were cold and expressionless, and they looked like real patrol cavalry. Because Fang Yun had figured out the rules of the army's distribution, Fang Yun used this method of changing defenses.
Through the gap, the road was unimpeded, and they entered the depths of the army. On the way, there was not even a single person who asked questions.
Fang Yun wandered around the camp for a while, and soon found out Di Huang's military strength. At this time, there was no need to stay anymore. He could return to the Dazhou camp.
"Well, that should be Xie Daoyun's camp."
When Fang Yun was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a tent in the distance with bright lights and strict guards around it, which looked very conspicuous.
"It's Xie Daoyun's camp."
Fang Yun suddenly had a strong impulse in his heart: "Go and find out."
Xie Daoyun is the commander-in-chief of the Dihuang army this time, and he has superb military skills. He once traveled to the Middle-earth to study and was the top student in high school. Such a legendary figure exudes a strong attraction, making people want to explore it.
Fang Yun took back Aguda and others, and took advantage of the change of defense to sneak into the main camp of Di Huang's army.
In the camp, Xie Daoyun sat alone across from the table. There was an oil lamp lit on the table, and several long and narrow iron tubes were placed next to it. A disassembled hummingbird was placed next to it.
"This should be a hummingbird made by a craftsman from the Ministry of Industry of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Xie Daoyun stretched out his jade-like fingers, picked up a hummingbird, and put it under the lamp. In the dark night, a trace of sadness flashed in Xie Daoyun's eyes. If Di Huang had as many skilled craftsmen, generals and counselors as the Zhou Dynasty, there would be no need to worry about the failure of great things.
How could the Zhou Dynasty be forced into such a situation?
"Princess, do you see anything?"
In the shadow of the lamp, a pretty maid asked.
Xie Daoyun shook his head: "This hummingbird is specially designed to deliver messages. It is a complete set of connected birds. In addition to these hummingbirds, there is also a special thing that attracts hummingbirds. No matter where the hummingbird is, as long as it flies out, it will be immediately
Attract the past. Accurate.”
"Ah," the maid said with a look of disappointment in her eyes, "doesn't that mean it's useless to us?"
"Not necessarily," Xie Daoyun raised his eyebrows: "Marquis Zhongxin can use these things, and I can also use them. A'duo, go prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I'll write some news and send it to Marquis Zhongxin."
"News?" The maid was startled at first, then suddenly realized and said happily: "The princess is trying to mislead them."
"You girl." Xie Daoyun smiled and did not deny it. As a soldier, what is true is false and what is true is false. Since Marquis Zhongxin wanted to find out the news, he asked Princess Dihuang to give him the "news".
"My slave will go immediately."
The maid bowed her knees and bowed before retreating.
"You're tired too, go down and change defenses." Xie Daoyun waved his hand as he glanced at a guard beside the tent.
"Yes, princess."
The guard Di Huang, wearing armor and holding a broadsword in his hand, saluted and retreated.
After a while, the tent was opened, and another tall guard walked in. He quickly glanced at Xie Daoyun and stood still at the edge, motionless.
