Chapter 1269: Victory (Forty-Nine)
So what to do? This seems to be a difficult problem.
So, the Flying Condor looked up at the houses on both sides of the connected road, and decided to go to the top of the house.
Thinking of this, the Flying Condor Hero performed light skills and went to the roof. His light skills are very profound, and this one fell silently. did not alarm the Tatar soldiers standing guard not far away.
Once inside the house, the Condor Hero, dressed in a nocturnal suit that concealed the darkness of the night, began to run down the roofs of the houses to the west of the town.
This town is indeed not big, and soon the flying eagle hero ran to the west of the town, and saw the high city wall. The walls of the north and south of the town are much lower.
The Flying Condor Hero knew at a glance that the western city wall, including the city gate tower, was newly built. It was to resist the attack of the Han army from the west.
The Flying Condor hero got off the roof and walked out of a small alley, and in the firelight, he saw a lot of soldiers. The soldiers were standing facing the wall, their crossbows in their hands.
The Flying Condor Hero understands that this is to prevent the Han army from blowing up the city wall. As soon as a large hole in the wall is blown open, these crossbowmen will shoot arrows into the big hole. Shoot all the Han soldiers who tried to rush in.
Seeing this scene, the Flying Condor Hero smiled, and thought to himself: "It seems that Brother Cao Wen's guess is not wrong at all!" Sure enough, the Tatars made a specific deployment for the explosives bag to blow up the city wall.
Seeing this, the task of the Flying Condor Hero is completed. At this point, you can go back. However, he really wanted to see where the general of the Tarnu army slept, and whether he should kill him directly. , but he remembered what General Cao Wen said to him, saying that it was better for this general of the Tatar army to stay, and his incompetence was the greatest help to us.
Thinking of this, the Flying Condor hero returned the same way. went to the roof and easily left Qinyang Town. This time he didn't go down the cliff, but went straight up the mountain. At this time, the clouds in the sky also dispersed, revealing a crescent moon, illuminating the earth dimly bright. At this time, halfway up the mountain, I saw the appearance of Qinyang Town in the moonlight.
However, what the Flying Condor Hero wanted to see was not Qinyang Town, he wanted to see how many people there were in the camp of the Tarnu Army.
So, he flew the Condor hero and started his light work and reached the peak. When you reach the peak, you will naturally have a clear view of the situation below.
I saw that the white tent, under the light of this crescent moon, immediately glowed with silver light, although it was still very dark, but it could already be seen clearly.
The Flying Condor hero looked high, but he couldn't see the boundary of the Tarnu army camp at all.
"Oh my God, how many people are there?" The Flying Condor hero was silently muttering in suction, but his mind was blank. Because he doesn't have such a concept at all. It is impossible to estimate how many Tatar troops there will be in this situation.
Since you can't figure it out, let's go back and tell General Cao Wen about it. However, he still made a rough estimate that there were at least hundreds of thousands of Tatar troops in so many tents.
Hundreds of thousands, this is beyond the concept of more than 200,000. In short, it's a lot.
The Flying Condor Hero hurriedly crossed the mountain peak and ran westward. All the way back to Zhangzhou City, at this time, a piece of fish belly white had already risen in the sky.
It seems that it is already the fifth watch. At this time, the cold wind of late autumn is also blowing. However, the Flying Condor Hero had already entered the back hall of the Yamen, and General Cao Wen was waiting for him.
"Brother Cao Wen, you didn't sleep?" The Flying Condor Hero saw that Cao Wen was still sitting on the chair, and asked with a little surprise.
General Cao Wen was naturally very happy to see that the Flying Condor Hero had come back safely, got up to greet him, asked the Flying Condor Hero to sit down, and personally brought tea to the Flying Condor Hero.
The Flying Condor Hero drank it dry in one go, and after the disaster, General Cao Wen poured it down again, and asked, "Brother Condor, how are you investigating?" ”
The Flying Condor Hero said, "Brother Cao Wen, I'll tell you everything I saw!" ”
"Okay, I'll hear you." General Cao Wen said as he sat next to the Flying Condor Hero.
Then, the Flying Condor Hero told General Cao Wen everything he saw.
Listening to the words of the Flying Condor Hero, General Cao Wen was silent for a long time, and said quietly: "It seems that this Qinyang Town is not very easy to fight!" ”
The Flying Condor Hero naturally understood the meaning of General Cao Wen's words, so he nodded and said, "Yes, the Tarnu army has deployed a large number of men and horses in this Qinyang Town. And our mere 100,000 people are probably not enough to deal with so many people from the Tarnu army.
General Cao Wen said: "I really didn't expect that the Tatar army would deploy nearly 400,000 troops in this Qinyang Town!" ”
The Flying Condor Hero asked, "Brother Cao Wen, does the Tarnu Army really have so many troops?" Don't forget, they also have troops in the center and south. ”
General Cao Wen frowned and said, "I think the total size of the Tatar army is probably going to reach more than 800,000 troops. ”
"What about our Han army?" The Flying Condor Hero asked.
General Cao Wen said: "Our army is almost 800,000, but half of it is south of the Tianjiang River. ”
"Why didn't Your Majesty bring those men here?" The Flying Condor Hero asked. A puzzled look.
General Cao Wen said: "Brother Shenying, if you join in the competition with others, will you come up and show off your best housekeeping skills?" ”
The Flying Condor Hero listened to General Cao Wen's question, and said without thinking: "Of course not." ”
Then General Cao Wen said: "That's it, it is impossible for Your Majesty to devote all his forces to attack the Tatar army now. Because now is not the time for a decisive battle. ”
"Oh, Brother Cao Wen, I understand when you say that." The Flying Condor Hero nodded and said.
General Cao Wen returned to the matter of attacking Qinyang Town, and only heard that he said with some worry: "It's just that we are on this northern front, and we are indeed outnumbered!" ”
"Then let Your Majesty send troops, or transfer troops?" The Flying Condor Hero said.
When General Cao Wen heard the words of the Flying Condor Hero, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty once told me that there are no soldiers, but gunpowder weapons are enough." ”
