Chapter 455: Sneak Attack by Horse Thieves
The people around the fire are all warriors from this small tribe, they all laughed when they heard Ashinadake's words, and a young warrior said: "I often hear people say that the people of the Central Plains are the most cowardly, they have no ability, but they have a lot of good things, all of them are fat sheep, I saw them today, and sure enough, the rumors are true, we just want them to be thirty times, they actually sent a whole cart of things, I can't calculate how much it is worth!" ”
The other warriors also nodded, they didn't have a clear concept of that big cart of things, after all, they barter on weekdays, and they didn't often spend money, thirty times was the range they could understand, but if it was more, they didn't know how to calculate this account.
Ashinada thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that it will have to be doubled tenfold, and those good things must be worth three hundred yuan, especially those good wines, in our grassland, there are really sheep and cattle that can't be bought!" ”
In fact, although he has been in the Khan of Sudden Jue, he doesn't know much about the algorithm of money, otherwise he can't send someone to arrest the students of the three Guozijian, he will only offer thirty yuan, and the price of ten yuan for one person will promise Tan Zhengwen to redeem it, if he changes to a character like Gumodoro, then the price is not opened to thousands of yuan per person, it will definitely not stop, maybe thousands of yuan is only the first one, holding the students in his hands, I am afraid that Yang Ze will not send money, then Yang Ze is really bold!
The people by the fire talked for a while, and the topic revolved around the rich Central Plains army.
Finally, one of the warriors couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Da Khan, why don't we catch a few more people from the Central Plains, those people in white robes are very easy to catch, and as soon as our people pass, they will be scared to flee, as long as they release the arrows, they haven't shot at them yet." They fell to the ground, there are still so many fat sheep that are easy to catch, if we don't take the opportunity to catch a few more, then when they leave, we want to make a fortune again, and we won't have a chance! ”
Ashinada listened, hesitated, and said, "The children who heard the news said that there are more than 10,000 of them. And they all have iron armor, they are all cavalry, and all of us are not as many as them, if we really anger the general who led the troops, I am afraid that our entire tribe will suffer! ”
As the supreme leader, Ashinadake and Yang Ze thought almost exactly the same thing, and Yang Ze knew that he was going to destroy this small tribe. At least a thousand soldiers had to die, and the loss was too great, so he didn't want to take any risks, and Ashinadake was also afraid of losing his troops. After all, he knew that if he really wanted to make a move, his small tribe would not be able to defeat the Central Plains army no matter what, and the threat of a small fight would still be successful, if he really started a battle. That's a no-go.
But his warriors did not think so, and another warrior said, "Da Khan, the grass by the river here has been eaten by sheep." Anyway, we have to leave here in a few days, change the pasture to graze, then it's better to leave a few days early, let our women and the elderly and children leave first, and then let's go and sneak attack that army, it is best to grab something, if you can't grab it, it's nothing, anyway, they can't catch up with us, there is no way to retaliate! ”
Ashinada thought for a while and said: "This, you can give it a try, then let's let the people leave early tomorrow morning, this opportunity to make a fortune should not be missed, otherwise in the words of their Central Plains people, it is really past this village, there will be no such shop!" ”
He has a rude temperament, not a person who is good at thinking, and after listening to the instigation of his warriors, he felt that he should grab a handful, anyway, according to the rules of the grassland, whoever has a fast horse and a sharp knife should live a good life!
None of them thought about what the consequences would be if they really provoked this army marching northeast, only what kind of benefits they could get.
But there are still some old people in the tribe, and an old man said, "But what if they change the route of the march and have to fight us?" We have few people, but we can't beat them! ”
Ashinada laughed and said: "I am the nephew of the Khan, if they dare to fight with our tribe, it is to fight with the entire Sudden Jue, my uncle will not ignore us, even if it is the prince, when the Central Plains people attack our Sudden Awakening people, he will not care, no matter how you say it, you can't let the Central Plains people bully our Sudden Awakening own people!" ”
As soon as he said this, the old man shut up, as long as there is a backer, then there should be no problem, it really doesn't work, as long as the name of the Sudden Khan is raised, as long as the target of the army's attack is not the Sudden Awakening people, then it should not expand the incident, anyway, they are just going to rob the property, and not to kill all the generals, as long as the Central Plains army does not suffer too much losses, then it should choose to calm the matter, didn't they the Central Plains people often do this before, it is their normal state to swallow their anger, and active attack is the abnormal state.
After making a plan, the warriors all returned to their tents, and waited only for the dawn of tomorrow to let their troops go first, and they went to catch up with the Central Plains army, grab a good hand, and make a fortune.
At the third watch, the dark clouds covered the moon, it was a gloomy night, the herdsmen of the Dakobu were all asleep, and there was no one standing guard on the periphery, in their own territory, there was never danger, and they did not expect that there would be an enemy to sneak attack.
A small group of Sudden Awakens touched into the camp of the tribe, and this small group of Sudden Awakens was the horse thieves that Yang Ze had just bought, all of them were from the grassland, of course these horse thieves knew the habits of the Dake Department, and when they were asleep at night, as long as they didn't make a loud noise, no one would get up, so they dismounted from a distance and touched the camp.
Not daring to go to the center of the camp, they only circled around the tents on the periphery, and found a small tent, which should be the residence of a family, it should be a grandfather, with several sons, and a dozen or so grandchildren, all living together, then counting the women inside, there must be at least thirty to forty people, although it is not enough for more than a hundred horse thieves, but the first wave of arrests, it is better to choose such a place of residence.
The horse thieves went their separate ways, some went to sentry, some led the horses, and the other went into the tents to kill.
More than a hundred people went to kill dozens of people, and it was a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and the chances of success were too great, but in two quarters of an hour, those murderous horse thieves came out of the tent, and it was very smooth, and they gave a pot to the sleeping Dake tribesmen, and there was not a single one left, and all of them had their heads cut off.
Things were going too well, and the horse thieves became excited, and they got so many horses, cattle and sheep, that they would have been satisfied if they had been in normal times, but now they felt that they were not enough.
The thieves bumped their heads and decided to do the same thing again, to attack another place of residence, and to kill another family.
For a small number of horse thieves to sneak attack a tribe, that is to pay attention to tactics, although none of the horse thieves have received this education, but in the actual combat can be concluded, that is, can not go deep into the center of the tribe, then they are very likely to get in, can not get out, so sweeping the periphery is the best way, as long as the people do not howl before dying, do not alarm other people, then they a hundred or so, cut off hundreds of heads in one night, scourge dozens of tents, that is not the slightest problem, As long as you don't make a fuss.
But the horse thieves think very well, but the actual operation is very difficult, the tribes on the grassland are often very large, the tribe of a few thousand people can occupy a few miles of camps, with each family as a unit, forming a small settlement, and then many settlements, and then form a large camp, each settlement is also related to the fence of cattle and sheep, if you want to sneak attack the periphery one by one, there is no problem in theory.
But this time there are really more people who came, hundreds of horse thieves, don't think they can really be quiet, when some horse thieves grab cattle and sheep, they can't help but let out cheers, although the sound is not very loud, but in the dead of night, it will still attract the attention of the people, in the past, as long as they can calm down in time, it is nothing, after all, the distance between each residence is not too close.
However, it will not work tonight, because Ashinadake has made the decision to move his subordinates tomorrow, so many leaders will send people to inform their subordinates overnight, so that they can prepare and leave early tomorrow morning.
When the thieves had just washed the second settlement, before they could decide whether to attack the third settlement or leave it at that, they were discovered by a Raider who had come to deliver a message to his men when they came back tomorrow night.
When the Sudden Warrior spotted a large group of people coming in and out of a settlement, he immediately knew that an enemy was coming, and the vigilance of the steppe warrior was not ordinary!
The Sudden Soldier immediately shouted, turned his horse and left, shouting as he ran, but in a few moments, a small half of the camp where he was, and there were people coming out of each tent, and the Sudden Soldier took a scimitar in his hand and looked over this way!
The horse thieves were frightened, alarming the soldiers of the tribe, that is not a joke, in the sudden realization that everyone will open a bow and shoot arrows, don't think that women and children can be bullied casually, women shoot arrows, that is no worse than men, as long as they are discovered, they will fall into the national war!
Jumping on horseback, the horse thieves turned around and ran, they didn't waste any time, they didn't even burn the tents, they didn't pull the cattle and sheep away, they just carried the human head, and fled in the direction of the camp of the Right Shenwu Army!
When the Sudden Awaken soldiers found that their two settlements had been attacked, and hundreds of people had died, including men, women, and children, they were naturally furious, and immediately chased after the horse thieves, and the hatred of the sneak attack tribe had to be revenged!
Under the fierce pursuit, the horse thieves led the Sudden Awakening soldiers to the outside of the camp of the Right Shenwu Army, the horse thieves also knew each other, did not rush into the camp, they did not dare, they could only circle around the camp, after all, the closer to the camp of the Right Shenwu Army, the safer they were.
Ashinadake personally led the troops to come, he looked at the dark camp in front of him, and thought: "What's the matter, could it be that the Central Plains army attacked us, aren't they all cowards, how can they be so bold?" (To be continued......)
