After the battle between Shocking Sui and yesterday, Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) can basically conclude that Ding Yang Hou can only talk on paper and has a pair of skins, but it is undeniable that Ding Yang Hou is a man of great martial arts, and in his early years, he also relied on the accumulation of military exploits to enter the core of power.

But leading the army to kill before the battle and strategizing with the Chinese army are fundamentally different things, and those who can rush and kill are not necessarily handsome.

Ding Yang Hou is afraid that he has never been in charge of the army before this, and this is his first time to fight independently with the army, and many situations are taken for granted. Even though he was full of military books, he was rigid in his dogma and rigid in his work, blindly imitating the content of theories, and theories were not a universal treasure book, at best they were reference books, and they could only be adapted.

Xu even Han He saw that the person sitting opposite him was a "book", and then it became Han He's flip book, and Ding Yang Hou did things according to the rules. And yesterday's siege of the Jin army casualties were not large, Han Heding must have read through the book of Ding Yang Hou and tasted the sweetness.

Seeing that Zhao Xun was difficult to make up his mind, Bai Liyan said again at this time:

"General Zhao, tonight I am willing to personally visit the camp to find out the reality of the Jin army."

"No, Your Excellency has benefited a lot from your advice, and if there is a mistake, it will be very disadvantageous to our army."

"The general can rest assured, he will not let the Jin army notice."

"Could it be that Your Excellency has a clever idea?"

"It's not He Miaoce, it's just that it's better to get closer to the Jin army camp."

Bai Liyan planned to visit the camp in person tonight, first, to find out where the Han He camp was, and second, to choose an attack route for attacking the Jin army.

At present, there are more than 4,000 cavalry under Zhao Xun's command, and the horses used by the Song State to pay tribute to the Jin State are very good, but the cavalry is mostly adapted from infantry, and the cavalry combat ability is very low, but if the cavalry can be used to break through the Jin army camp, it is not without a glimmer of life.

Zhao Xun planned to give it a try after careful consideration, if he reported the news that the Jin army's handsome banner and handsome tent were placed in Duyang City, Ding Yanghou would inevitably mobilize his army to attack Duyang City, and if he couldn't attack for a long time, he found that he had been deceived, and he had to be charged with lying about the military situation.

In the afternoon, Bai Liyan began to prepare for tonight's camp, he cut a lot of artemisia grass from outside the camp, knitted it into a straw coat and sewed it on a battle robe, and draped it on the ground, which was a small dirt slope.

"Xiao, Brother Wei doesn't look like a small dirt slope."

"Like, really like. But what does Brother Wei do with such a straw coat. Xiao said puzzled, his eyes wide.

"Brother Wei is going out of the camp tonight and will come back tomorrow."

Xiao was stunned for a moment, and moved his body next to him:

"Can Brother Wei not go?"

"No, Xiao is afraid that the eldest brother won't come back."

Bai Liyan smiled shallowly, touched her head, and Xiao said worriedly:

"Well, Brother Wei can read, and Xiao likes Brother Wei."

Bai Liyan was stunned for a moment, only to see Xiao Xiao's stupid red face and his head buried. He knew that Xiao actually wanted to have a support, a support to live on.

"What a silly boy. Are you still young and know how to like people? ”

"Brother Wei is good to me."

Xiao's face was even redder, and Bai Liyan smiled faintly, but she didn't say anything, her heart was sour.

In modern society, a fifteen-year-old girl might climb the dragon and phoenix and swim among several boys to choose the one she likes the most. But right now, living is people's greatest hope and luxury.

Without thinking much about it, Bai Liyan continued to weave straw clothes, and then made two more. Zhao Xun arranged for two scouts to follow him to visit the camp together, one can take care of him, and the other is that one person's statement is inevitably suspicious, if the three people's statements are the same, the authenticity of the content can basically be confirmed.

At dusk, Zhao Xun found a no-man's land outside the camp, and was already waiting there with two fine works, Bailiyan's tattered cloth clothes were almost no different from ordinary people, but he was carrying a bronze dagger in his arms and dragging three straw clothes in his hands.

"I've seen General Zhao"

Raising his hand to give a slight salute, Zhao Xun's eyes fell on the grass coat, and he couldn't help asking:

"Your Excellency, this is ......"

"Grass clothes, draped on the body to confuse the Jin army, can also keep out the cold, both day and night, and better at night."

"I see. At first glance, General Ben really thought it was just a pile of grass, but if it was spread out, I was afraid it would be difficult to distinguish. Zhao Xun liked it greatly, and then introduced the two accompanying people.

The two fine works accompanying him, one is called Zhao Guang, and the other does not even have a surname, called "urn", presumably the family should make pottery, and the urn is the best, so it was named like this. Both of them were very old, in their early forties, and their hair was already a little gray.

"General Zhao, this may be one night, maybe two nights. If he fails to return at this time tomorrow, the general should make another plan to avoid missing the fighter. ”

"Ben will understand." When the words fell, Zhao Xun looked at Zhao Guang and said, "Zhao Guang, this trip is all in accordance with Wei Xian's plan, you must protect Wei Xian and not make any mistakes." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Zhao Guangyi bowed and replied very firmly.

Then Bai Liyan followed Zhao Guang and Weng to the cover of dusk, quietly went north, and finally gradually disappeared from Zhao Xun's field of vision.

The three of them didn't walk fast, they walked two miles north, and it was already dark at this time, when Bailiyan suddenly stopped:

"Zhao Guang, Weng, I'll rest here first, and I'll go to the camp when it's time to do so."

Zhao Guang asked puzzled:

"It's already dark at this time, why don't you act early? If it is late, it will be delayed until dawn, for fear that it will be detected by the Jin army. ”

"At present, the two armies have detailed activities at night, and the activities must be rampant in the first half of the night, and the three of you and I will act together, in case they are discovered by the Jin army and scouts, it will be a failure."

The two armies fought, each sent a lot of scouts, detailed activities, and even posed as enemy soldiers to enter the camp, and the second half of the night was a low tide of people's physiology. Even if the cat has been continuously Chinese New Year's Eve, the physiological function at night is still lower than the daytime, and the visual and perceptual ability is the lowest.

The first half of the night is the opposite, so the risk of a sortie in the first half of the night is higher than in the second half of the night. Secondly, Bailiyan found that night blindness is more common in the military, mainly due to malnutrition. The moonlight in the first half of the night is brighter than the second half of the night, and the probability of being found is much higher.

Having made up their minds, the three of them lay on the ground in straw clothes, nibbling on light cakes while observing the surrounding situation. About half an hour later, a black shadow was found more than 100 steps to the southeast, this guy came from the east, and it was almost certain that it was the Jin army. If you had rushed out before, I am afraid that we would have met at this point.

Seeing this, Bai Liyan whispered:

"Zhao Guang, you can see it."

"See, it looks like the Jin army is meticulous."

"Exactly, we will start to slowly crawl towards the Jin army camp, don't get up."

Zhao Guang was puzzled:

"Your Excellency, this place is less than three miles away from the Jin army camp, when will you climb?"

"Crawl until the middle of the night, and you can start moving. Let's go! ”

"Obey!"

With the help of night and grass clothing, the three of them crawled slowly among the weeds and bushes, and they did not realize that the three of them were crawling on the ground. When it was in the middle of the moon, the three of them stood up and moved quickly, and the northeast camp of the Jin army was clearly visible.

From a distance, everything is as usual in the northeast camp of the Jin army outside Duyang City, although it is separated by more than two hundred steps, the fire in the camp is still clearly visible, but it is still difficult to figure out the internal situation of the Jin army camp at this distance, at this time Bailiyan thought to himself, it would be great if there was a telescope.

It's just that Bailiyan is also worried that once the telescope's technology spreads, it will be a catastrophic consequence.

After observing for half a moment, when the patrol team outside the Jin military camp passed, the three of Bailiyan bowed their waists, put down their posture in straw clothes, and quickly approached the Jin army camp, approaching to eighty paces and slowing down, stopping every three steps to observe, not making continuous rapid movements, approaching to within thirty steps, all lying on the ground and crawling forward.

The northeast battalion of the Jin army is heavily guarded, and it can be seen through the wooden fence that the personnel in the battalion come and go frequently, but because of the division of troops, the scale of the battalion is not very large. After carefully observing for a while, he climbed more than 100 meters along the wooden fence and stopped, and continued to observe the situation, it can be seen that the camp is in good order, and it is impossible to see whether it is the men and horses of the Han Hezhong Army Headquarters or other battalions.

Although he spent some time in the Han joint camp last year, not all the soldiers were familiar with their faces, and it was difficult to find out the Chinese army camp of Han He by recognizing their faces. However, there was a situation in the camp that was puzzling, and no trace of cavalry was found in the northeast battalion of the Jin army.

It is said that the Jin army has more than 30,000 cavalry, and it is impossible to place it in the city. But in this way, isn't there too much Jin army in the southeast battalion?

The Jin army currently has a small 90,000 people, aside from the 30,000 cavalry, there are 20,000 infantry troops in Duyang City, so the other 40,000 infantry troops should be half of the northeast and southeast battalions. Now there are not a large number of horses in the Northeast Battalion, which means that the Northeast Battalion has 30,000 infantry troops, while the Southeast Battalion should have 30,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops.

Could it be that Han He's main cavalry force was placed in the southeast camp, and his central army tent was also there?

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan climbed another two hundred meters, and then he suddenly found that there seemed to be something missing:

"It's strange, isn't Han He afraid of the cavalry of the Xian Army stealing the camp?"

Not for anything else, the Jin army's northeastern battalion did not have a carriage or other equipment to block the cavalry's attack.

As mentioned earlier, the current means of dealing with cavalry are very mature, and the carriage is a motor vehicle that moves with the infantry, which can be used to block the cavalry with the infantry army. Even if it is camped, the carriage should be set up in a vital place to defend against enemy cavalry. Especially now that the armies of the two sides have faced each other, it is even more necessary to set up a carriage.

The Northeast has been observing for a long time, and only sporadically saw some stall carriages, could it be that the Jin army stall carriage is gone? Thinking of this, Bai Liyan quietly asked Zhao Guang:

"Zhao Guang, how many carriages are there in the Jin army."

"According to the system, every 10,000 people are equipped with 500 carriages, and the Jin army should have more than 3,000, plus baggage vehicles, 5,000 or 6,000."

"So much."

Bailiyan couldn't help but be taken aback. It is impossible for so many vehicles to be lost, besides, Han He is retreating in Xiaosui, even if Feicheng lost a lot of grain and military resources in the first battle, it will not be enough to lose the things that accompany the army.

With so many vehicles covering a huge area, it is impossible to put them in Duyang City, so can they be placed in the southeast camp? It also seems unlikely. If there are so many cars in the southeast camp, it is still huge, Zhao Xun sent people to visit the camp last night, and it is impossible not to find the abnormality. Bailiyan can even conclude that there are not many carriages in the southeast camp.

If the southeast battalion also has no stall carriages, then where did so many vehicles go?

Thinking of this, Bai Liyan couldn't help but fall in his chest, thinking that Han He must have a back hand.

In order to prove his thoughts, Bailiyan began to crawl towards the southeast camp. When passing by the east gate, I found that the east gate of Duyang City was open, and a large flag was erected in the city from a few hundred meters away, but the flagpole was obviously a lot shorter.

Duyang City is a city fortress, the height of the city wall is only four or five meters, or even yet, if you use a normal flagpole, you can see the high platform outside the city, but if the flagpole is cut off a large section, then the high platform outside the city is afraid that it will not be visible. In this way, the Marquis of Ding Yang could not see the banner and the tent in the city, but he went back to report it carefully, and if it was not good, the Marquis Ding Yang was even more convinced that the Han Hezhong army was in the city.
