Chapter 343: War Horse Overtake
After those cavalry left, more than a dozen soldiers quietly climbed down from the top of the trees in the woods, and these people smiled strangely and headed in the other direction to kill the demons of the Three Kingdoms. _!~;
It turned out that after Zhao Yun entered the forest, he had already arranged a plan to confuse the enemy.
Dozens of soldiers were sent to walk through the forest, making traces in three directions, which allowed everyone to rest.
The direction in which Chu He and the others walked was on the banks of the Yellow River, all the way north, not any of these three directions.
Zhao Yun also thought of footprints, so he had already sent someone to collect leaves and cut branches to cover up the traces of departure.
After a short time, the dozen or so soldiers came to a hill not far away.
This hill is not very large, and it occupies more than a mile between the vertical and horizontal areas, with countless weeds and many dense dead trees, which is just the best hiding place for the Chu River army. 、
And under the hill, there is also a mass graveyard, where a new grave has just been built, and there are many footprints on the ground, which just blocks the traces of going up the mountain for everyone.
Standing on the top of the hill, the Chu River overlooked the camp on the bank of the river, but seeing that the camp was about ten miles long, it was obvious that there was a large army stationed here.
However, to Chu He's excitement, the stables of this large army were located in a corner of the camp, near the road.
Obviously, the local generals arranged it this way for the convenience of the Ma army.
The sky gradually darkened, and after observing for several hours, there were at least 3,000 troops in and out, and most of them were horse troops.
In the darkness of the night, smoke rose from the camp, and it was time for the enemy soldiers to eat.
After a short time, when the fire in the camp gradually subsided, and several groups of horses left the camp and galloped along both sides of the Yellow River, the soldiers who had gone to investigate came with detailed military information
"The enemy army has six thousand men in total! Among them, 5,000 horsemen and 1,000 infantry! Thirty-two searches were made during the day, and a total of 5,000 horses were produced, and 500 horses were still in the camp! Five hundred soldiers were left behind, and another five hundred soldiers were set up at the back of the camp! ”
Chu He listened to the soldier's slow narration, his brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't light a fire at night, and he couldn't go to see the camp painted by the soldier.
"The time is set for midnight! Hello everyone, take a break, and leave only a team of people to guard everywhere, a group of people for two hours! Yes, you can arrange it! As he spoke, the Chu River went up the hill again.
After Lu Ke made some arrangements, the soldiers rested.
This time, there were more than 340 soldiers in the 507 killing battalion, more than 30 people who could fight, about 30 people were injured and could not fight, and more than 100 people died in battle!
Time passed little by little, but in the camp ahead, it was still lit up, and it was obvious that there were still cavalry who had not returned to the camp, which made Chu He feel a little anxious.
"If it doesn't work, my lord, let's turn elsewhere! ......" Lu Ke felt up from under the hill, and only then went down to inspect, but he found a group of soldiers passing by here, although he did not explore this place, but if it was daytime, he would definitely be able to see the traces on the hill.
"Hmmm! Waiting! It's just midnight, and I don't believe that the soldiers in this camp will not rest tonight! Chu He said in a deep voice.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
Just as Chu He was about to give the order and advance towards the west overnight, there was a sudden boil in that camp.
But when he saw that the cavalry of the inner middle group got on their horses, and under the leadership of the general, they ran out of the camp one after another, and walked quickly towards the far north, as if there was nothing but war there.
And there was also a cavalry galloping in the direction of the Chu River landing, obviously the other party did not relax the vigilance of this rear.
For a time, in the entire camp, only the 1,000 infantry remained.
"Pass my military orders! The wounded wait from here, leaving ten men to guard! The others, all follow me to the enemy camp to steal the camp! Chu He gave an order, and all of a sudden, the soldiers who had been preparing for Haode for a long time all stood up one by one.
Coming down from the hill, Chu He led everyone quietly towards the camp in that place.
Half an hour later, the people of Chu River took advantage of the night to approach the local camp.
There was a fence with an open area in it, and then a group of soldiers patrolling it, and behind it were a few tents, behind which were their targets.
Click!
After breaking a hole in the fence, the soldiers of the Seven Killings Battalion made their way to the inner center with great speed.
The first tent was approaching quickly.
At this time, the first group of soldiers on patrol happened to come here, and when they walked through the dark place, the soldiers of the Seven Killing Battalion rose up and assassinated this group of soldiers silently.
After a while, the soldiers changed their clothes and walked around the area before letting their brothers, who were waiting outside, enter.
Poof!
Inside the camp near the stables, three teams of soldiers infiltrated and assassinated the sleeping soldiers.
"Hey! You said that our lives are really bitter, since the time of Xiliang, we have been fighting with the barbarians all day long, so let's get here! After a few good days, I was arranged here, and I wasn't even allowed to sleep! Luckily we're watching the horses, if the cavalry ......," said a soldier in a rambling voice.
The other soldier, his face couldn't help but change slightly, and hurriedly stopped the soldier's speech, but whispered: "Be quiet, don't let the general hear it!" Otherwise, we're all going to have to move! ”
"Say something else, hehe! ......" The soldier smiled, and before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt movement behind him, and suddenly turned his head, only to find that it was the soldier on patrol, and he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"I'm scared to death! You deflated three don't go on patrol, what's the matter here? The soldier, apparently a commander, asked unpleasantly as he sat down.
"It's windy by the river, and the night is cold! Borrow a place to warm up and go! The leading soldier said with a smile.
The seven or eight people around also walked up with a smile, and the soldier guarding the stables frowned, and when he was thinking that something was wrong, a cold war knife had already leaned against his neck.
Not! Not! Not!
The mouth was gagged, and the soldier tried to struggle, but he couldn't move, so he had to watch as his trachea was cut.
Bang!
After placing the corpses on the ground and dragging them into the tents, the soldiers quietly opened the stables.
The horses in the stables were grazing on the forage, and apparently these were replaced horses.
Behind the tent, the soldiers of the Seven Killings Battalion swarmed in and walked into the stables one after another, holding one horse at a time in a very orderly manner.
Chu He followed behind, but he saw a war horse with eyes like lightning in the camp tent, this horse was obviously full of spirit, and there was a touch of fierceness in his eyes, he was a good horse at first glance!
Hiss!
Suddenly, when Chu River stepped forward to hold its reins, the war horse suddenly moved, making a snort, startling the surrounding war horses to also be agitated.
"Not good! All get on their horses and go out of camp to line up! Chu He knew that the sound of the horse must have attracted the soldiers to come, so he hurriedly gave an order, pulled out the Dragon Emperor Sword at his waist, and cut off the fence that covered the war horse.
