Chapter 39: The devil is in the details

At night, Zheng San took Zhao Ziliang into a big tent with a torch and introduced: "Brother Liang, in addition to leaving another horse for each person, all the horses, cattle and sheep have been sent back to Tuoyun Fort, here are other seizures, a total of six boxes of gold, silver, soft and jewelry, 240 stones of grain, 1,200 catties of jerky, 1,600 pieces of various furs, 300 pieces of various weapons, 322 sets of leather armor, 422 pairs of bows, and 10,000 arrows!" Among them, weapons, armor and bows can be used, and the arrows are all beast tooth arrows, which are much worse lethal than the steel arrows we use! ”

Zhao Ziliang walked into the tent and looked at the various materials in the tent, and said as he walked: "These are all good things, we can all use them, although the lethality of the arrows is a little worse, but we can use them for the soldiers to practice archery!" ”

Zheng San echoed: "What Brother Liang said is extremely true! Do you want to use the immortal method to disappear them now and take them out when you need to use them, or do you wait until you ambush the army of Theirs before taking them away? ”

Zhao Ziliang thought about it, and went deep into the space of the thumb wrench of his right hand, and found that after the last battle to save Panzhu Junxiu and this raid on the camp of the Hera tribe, he and his soldiers had killed a total of more than 800 people, and the capacity of the wrench space had reached 988 cubic meters, especially the camp of the Hera tribe in this raid, the most people were killed, and the life qi of these people when they died was absorbed by the wrench.

With 988 cubic meters, Zhao Ziliang could completely put all these materials and gold and silver jewelry into the wrench space, but thinking that after ambushing the Texai army, there might be some captures, in order to ensure that there is enough space in the wrench, he must transport these things back while there is still time to do so.

Thinking that there were still some carts left by the Hera tribesmen in the camp, he said to Zheng San: "I will collect the gold, silver and jewelry first, aren't there more than a dozen carts outside?" Find a dozen horses and pull everything else back! ”

"Okay, I'll go find someone and leave early tomorrow morning!"

On the morning of the third day after the raid on the Hera tribe, the reconnaissance cavalry came again with news that the five thousand cavalry of the Turian army were only fifty miles away from the Pearl River, and according to the speed of action of the Turian army, it only took two hours to reach the north bank of the Zhenzhu River, which was calculated by Zhao Ziliang even more before the marching speed of the Turbid army, if it was just a cavalry or a dozen cavalry, it would only take an hour to arrive here from fifty miles away, but if it was five thousand cavalry, it would be different, and the marching speed would be greatly reduced, even if it was a cavalry.

After getting the news, Zhao Ziliang summoned the military leaders above the commander to discuss in the military tent, and he said: "The five thousand cavalry of the Tuqi Shi have already arrived fifty miles away, and they can reach the other side of the river in two hours at most, that is, in the afternoon, they will definitely cross the river and then eat, and then set off after they are full of wine and food, so we still have two hours at most to clear all the traces around us, and tear down all the tents in the camp left by the Hera tribe, creating the false impression that the Hera tribe has migrated to other places, Also clean up the traces we left on the riverbank, especially fresh horse footprints and horse manure, Hokhan, you arrange for some people to do this! The princess arranged for some female soldiers to cook some food and give all the soldiers a full meal before the battle, Wei Meng took most of the female guards of the princess to hide in the south of the woods, so that the soldiers could rest and sleep, and recuperate their spirits, so that they could fight against the Turgish army in the afternoon! ”

"No!"

At noon, Zhao Ziliang, Panzhu Junxiu and nearly three hundred other cavalrymen were full of food and drink, and they slept beautifully, and the scout rode Pegasus to report: "Deputy Fort Master, the army of the Turks has arrived on the north bank of the Pearl River!" ”

At this time, a large number of neighing horses and the sound of people were faintly heard from the north, and Huo Kan said loudly: "Deputy Castle Master, do you want to let the soldiers enter the woods and hide?" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a few seconds, raised his hand to stop: "No, before the Tuqi Shi army crosses the river, their lord will not send a ranger to investigate the situation here in advance, only after confirming that this side is safe, they will rest assured that they will cross the river, if we enter the woods now, it is easy to be discovered by the Tuqishi's rangers, we are behind the woods, the woods are big enough, the other party's rangers will only enter the woods to reconnoitre, and they should not go through the woods, only after the rangers have completed the reconnaissance, we can enter the woods and hide, While the Turgish army is crossing the river, we will attack halfway through! ”

Panzhu Junxiu listened to Zhao Ziliang's words and said, "Zhao Ziliang, you also look up to those barbarians in Tuqishi, right?" Will their leader have the mind to send someone over to reconnoiter the situation before crossing the river? And this is the territory of the Turgish, I don't think they would have thought that we had entered their hinterland and ambushed here! ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "Soldier, treacherous!" The land of death and life, the way of survival, you can't be cautious! Whether a small ambush can succeed or not, strategy is important, but in terms of details, you must not be sloppy, sometimes a slight carelessness may not only fail the ambush, but also bring disaster to the soldiers! I don't know who the other party's commander is, what his name is, and what his ability to lead the army to fight is, but we have to go all out, and those who often treat others as fools are actually the most stupid! As a leader, you must not underestimate any opponent! ”

Huo Kan and Wei Meng listened to Zhao Ziliang's words, and said in unison: "The words of the deputy castle lord are thought-provoking, and we will take them to heart!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to the scout cavalry sergeant who came to report just now: "Probe again!" If they send scouts across the river to investigate, wait until they have explored the woods and left! ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang's caution was correct, the general of the Turgish army was the commander of the Rat Nishi tribe, although this man was short-tempered, but he had rich combat experience, and he was also very meticulous and cautious, and when the army was twenty miles away from the Pearl River, he sent rangers to cross the river to find the place to cross the river and reconnoiter the situation on the other side.

After a dozen or so cavalry cavalry crossed the Pearl River, they quickly reconnoitred around the riverbank, six cavalry came in the direction of the woods two miles away, four went in the direction of the original Hera tribe camp, and the rest went in the opposite direction.

Six turks rode to the edge of the boxwood forest and looked at it, and one of them said, "I didn't find anyone inside, so let's go somewhere else!" ”

"Wait a minute!" Another said: "It's a little dark in the woods, how can we see it clearly when we are just outside?" Let's go in and search! ”

"Okay, you can search for it!"

The six Turquoise Rangers did not find anything after going deep into the woods for twenty or thirty meters, and the woods were a little gloomy, and these Rangers couldn't stand it, so they retreated as soon as possible and went to other places to reconnoitre.

Four Terrorist rangers came to the camp of the former Hera tribe and reconnoitred the camp in order, and one of them said: "I have been here before, and I remember that this is the camp of the Hera tribe, and there are some stables and sheepfolds here, but why are there no tents?" ”

One person said, "It looks like they have migrated to other places, but now that the weather is getting cooler and it is snowing heavily in the north, they may have moved to the south!" ”

Behind the woods by the river, a soldier ran out of the woods, panting and came to Zhao Ziliang and arched his hand: "Deputy castle master, the other party really sent rangers to explore the woods, they went deep into the woods for dozens of steps and left, and they didn't find me waiting!" ”

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang stood up and said to Wei Meng and Huo Kan: "Order, everyone wraps the horse's mouth with a rattan cage, leads the horse into the woods, and all are not allowed to make any sound, and only rush out of the woods to kill when our military order is issued!" ”

"No!" The two said yes and went to prepare.

Zhao Ziliang said to Panzhu Junxiu again: "Can these female guards under your command participate in this battle?" ”

Panzhu Junxiu immediately said, "Of course you can, otherwise why would I bring them over?" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, you will take them to follow us and rush to kill, you must not break away from us, we have few soldiers, and only by concentrating all our forces can we inflict the greatest casualties on the Tuqi army!" ”

"Alright, alright, I got it!"
