Chapter 251 Qianlonggang, silent in the middle of the night
The original coach of Tunu was General Negulai.
Nie Gulai was killed by Liang Jixiong, and Che Luosha had the opportunity to become the head coach.
He cherishes this opportunity very much and naturally has to be more cautious in his actions.
However, Xu Zhiqiong did not expect that he would be so cautious. He ordered the army to retreat ten miles temporarily and gathered all the generals to discuss countermeasures.
The generals talked a lot, and some suggested changing the location of the attack and still returning to Shuangxiong Pass.
Some people even complained that the terrain of Yangjiao Pass was complicated and that we should not have come here easily in the first place.
Others suggested stationing nearby for a few days, fighting with the Xuan army, forcing them down the mountain, and then fighting again.
All the suggestions have one thing in common, which is not to start a fight with the Xuan Army on the mountain road.
The Xuan army had 50,000 troops. Although it was not as strong as Tu Nu, the terrain was too advantageous. If they really wanted to fight on the mountain road, the outcome of the two sides would be unpredictable. Even if Tu Nu won, the losses would be quite heavy, and he would have no more energy to fight south.
The sudden appearance of the Xuanguo army seriously shook the morale of Tunu's army, but Cheluosha gradually calmed down and did not rush to make a decision.
He is a fourth-grade military strategist and a fifth-grade Xiong Shen Dao. He has been on the battlefield for more than thirty years. His clear mind and rich experience allowed him to discover two flaws.
The first flaw is that the person leading the troops is wrong.
The 50,000-strong army should be commanded by Chu Xin personally. Even if Chu Xin had special circumstances and could not come to Qianlonggang, he would never let a young man lead the army.
The second flaw is the wrong tactics.
Even if Daxuan really has 50,000 troops, he will still suffer a loss compared with Tunu. Since he has occupied Qianlonggang in advance, he should adopt ambush tactics. Under any circumstances, an ambush will be advantageous. There is no need to make a big fanfare and compete with Tunu.
.
Che Luosha was a little skeptical about the spy's news. He wondered how many soldiers and horses there were in Qianlonggang.
He sent three hundred scouts to attack Qianlonggang at night.
The scouts originally planned to attack Niuniuping from the mountain road, but Che Luosha asked them to sneak in through the thorn bush.
In this battle, Cheluosha did not ask the scouts to achieve victory, but only asked them to find out the reality of the enemy camp.
Late at night, three hundred scouts sneaked into the thorn bush.
The dense thorns made the scouts suffer a lot. Although they were wearing thick armor, any exposed skin would be a bloody mouth when it touched the thorns. The scouts trudged through the thorns for nearly an hour and finally arrived.
Buried at the edge of Niuping.
Tunu scouts are all elites in the army, with strong individual combat capabilities, strong adaptability, rich combat experience, and some of them have cultivation base.
They looked at the layout of the camp and immediately divided into three teams. Two hundred scouts were divided into two groups to explore the camp, while the remaining 100 scouts stayed behind to guard the thorn bushes in case of accidents.
The two teams of scouts entered the camp one after another. They saw that there were many military tents built all over the mountains and plains, but the scouts soon smelled a familiar scent.
This camp is not very popular and is somewhat similar to the empty camp they left in front of Shuangxiong Pass.
The two hundred scouts divided their forces again, into twenty teams, each consisting of ten people, and sped up the exploration.
A scout team walked into a tent. As expected, the tent was empty.
It is enough to see one tent. If one tent is empty, it proves that the camp is most likely empty as well.
Xuan Jun was bluffing, and other scouts continued to explore the remaining camps. The mission of these ten scouts had been completed.
The commander waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave the camp immediately.
As soon as he walked out of the military tent, Chu He swung his sword and immediately beheaded a scout.
What a big surprise, Xuanjun was on guard!
He wanted to send a signal to alert other scouts, but if the signal was sent out, the whereabouts of other scouts would be exposed.
When he hesitated, Wu Shanxing, who was hiding in the dark, shot him through the head with an arrow.
Dozens of soldiers emerged from the darkness, each armed with swords and axes, and silently rushed towards the scouts.
Xu Zhiqiong calculated that Che Luosha would send scouts to explore the camp, and all the sergeants stayed near the camp to kill the scouts who entered the camp.
Regardless of means, the strategy is clear and no one is left alive.
The scouts were plotted, lost a lot of weight, and were in chaos. They were quickly killed by Xuan's army. Chu He wiped the blood on his saber and dragged the enemy's corpse into the camp. After waiting for a moment, he saw a man more than an inch tall. The paper man walked into the camp.
The paper man staggered up to Chu He, turned around, and pointed to the southeast.
Chu He led his people to the southeast, where there was still a group of scouts.
…
Tong Qingqiu was sitting in the Chinese army tent, sweating profusely.
More than two hundred paper figures lurked in the camp, watching for enemy movements. The advance and retreat of Xuan's army depended entirely on Tong Qingqiu's command.
A group of scouts came to the vicinity of the Chinese army. They were very sharp-eyed and found that there was no one guarding outside the tent, and the yin and yang energy floated out from the tent from time to time.
He asked the sergeant to stay still and approached the tent alone.
Shi Changyou had a cultivation level of the ninth level of the Xiong Divine Dao, and his sense of smell was very sensitive. He was more than a hundred feet away from the tent, and he could clearly feel that there was only one person in the tent.
There may be some high-level cultivators who are beyond his ability to perceive, but this is not important. At present, it can be basically concluded that the Xuanjun camp is empty, and even the Chinese army's tent is empty.
Shi Chang didn't get closer to the Chinese army's tent. He concluded that there must be a trap. He turned around and wanted to make a retreat gesture to the sergeant. Unexpectedly, Yu Shan suddenly appeared behind him and locked Shi Chang's throat with one arm. .
Xiong Shen Dao's power was astonishing, and Shi Chang struggled hard, but unfortunately his opponent was Yu Shan, a seventh-level cultivator of the Killing Dao, who was far superior to him in both strength and means.
Yu Shan exerted force with his forearms and broke Shi Chang's neck. Dozens of Wuwei soldiers surrounded the Dingtunu scout and quickly killed him.
The fierce battle was silent, with a few clashes of weapons occasionally heard in the camp, and most of the time there was silence.
A group of scouts planned to search for the Xuan Army's granary, but when they walked to the back camp, they suddenly found blood all over the ground.
The scouts had been in battle for a long time and found that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so they immediately led their troops to retreat.
He did not return the way he came, as he was worried that the Xuan army was ambushing him behind him.
He led his men down the hillside, preparing to rush down from Bianniuping.
This is such a smart man. He walked all the way around the camp and avoided all the ambush.
Until they reached the edge of Mianniuping, the Xuanjun camps became denser. Shi Chang avoided all the camps and found a suitable place to rush down to Mianniuping.
Rushing to the mountain road, I was very happy and prepared to go back to the camp to report the news. Suddenly my feet gave way and all ten scouts fell into a pit.
In the pit, the reamer rolled and splashed a piece of meat. Niu Yuxian ordered the soldiers to turn the winch to restore the trap to its original state, and ordered people to clean up the blood stains.
…
The scouts waiting in the thorn bush did not hear back for a long time.
Before leaving, the three centurions had agreed that if there was no reply within two hours, the scouts who stayed in the thorn bush would immediately return to camp to deliver the message.
The centurion was about to retreat when Xu Zhiqiong suddenly appeared behind the centurion and struck Tianling Gai with a knife.
The centurion has an eighth-grade Xiong Shinto cultivation level, and he believes that he can dodge this sword.
But he couldn't imagine the speed of the sixth-grade judge. As soon as he had the thought of dodging, Xu Zhiqiong had already cut off half of his head.
The remaining scouts did not dare to fight and left immediately.
Although there were hundreds of people, they concluded that Xu Zhiqiong was not alone here, and there must be an ambush around him.
Xu Zhiqiong chased them into the thorn bushes and killed everyone they saw no matter where they fled, killing more than thirty people in a row.
The remaining sixty or so Tunu escaped from Xu Zhiqiong, but were trapped in the thorn bushes. One soldier could not walk far when he suddenly felt dizzy and could not get up.
Another corps commander was stabbed by a thorn, and the wound was bleeding profusely. He fell to the ground and died within thirty steps.
When they arrived, the soldiers were often scratched by thorns, which was just a bloody mouth.
Now if he is scratched by a thorn again, a large piece of flesh will fall off.
The thorns on the thorns are much sharper than when they came.
Their judgment was correct. There was not only Xu Zhiqiong here, but also another person.
Nearly five hundred soldiers were guarding the camp, and there were only two people guarding the thorn bush. One was Xu Zhiqiong and the other was Han Chen.
Han Chen is good at medical skills, but that doesn't mean he is not good at killing enemies.
Han Chen is good at using needles, not just silver needles.
The sharp thorns on the thorns can also be used for it.
When he learned that scouts were coming, Han Chen deployed Yin Yang magic on the entire thorn bush. Some spikes were poisonous, some spikes were an inch longer, and some spikes had barbs. More than sixty scouts
, ran to the outside of the thorn bush, and only a dozen people were left.
These ten or so people were also good at fortune-telling. Of the three hundred scouts, they were the only ones to escape death.
Full of joy, they returned to the camp to report the news, but they were worried that there would be no news to report. They only saw the Xuanjun camp and knew that the camp was a little deserted. Other than that, they did not collect any more information.
If you just go back like this, will the commander blame you?
This was a very embarrassing thing, but fortunately someone helped them.
After walking dozens of steps on the mountain road, the eyes of a dozen scouts suddenly went dark.
When I opened my eyes and looked again, I found that they were back near the Xuanjun camp again.
They were hit by the Yin and Yang magic circle.
Han Chen didn't give them a chance to escape.
Now they don't have to be embarrassed, Han Chen has helped them.
They no longer have to worry about returning to the camp to report the news, because they don't need to go back to the camp, Xu Zhiqiong is right in front of them.
Xu Zhiqiong wiped the blood on the knife and said with concern: "Are you back again? Don't run into the thorn bushes again. It's dangerous there. Quick! Come to me!"
