Chapter 351: Hit!
Chapter 351
"It seems that we came at just the right time."
Behind the thorns, a dark and bushy Turkic man with a full face and beard poked his head out, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, showing a creepy grin.
"There is also a fire and cooking! It seems that they are unprepared!"
Another big man with thick arms and muscular muscles was riding a big horse, and he also poked his head out from behind the thorns and bushes. He has a face with Chinese characters, but he is a pure Han Chinese.
"Yeah, how can the strategy of the military division be wrong. Hehehe, the military division asked us to go around to the rear, wait until they attack the officer army in the front, and when they attract them, then attack back and forth to cut them off completely. I had no way to retreat and wiped them all out. However, I suddenly had a better idea."
The Turkic man with a full beard looked at the green smoke billowing down the mountain, and grinned grimly, with a cold and cruel expression:
"Perhaps, we can give them a surprise attack when they are unprepared to start a fire. No matter how powerful they are, they will never expect that we will fall from the sky. As long as we can kill half of their hands in an instant, the rest will be killed." will be nothing to worry about.”
"Jackal, you're crazy"
The big man with thick arms and muscular muscles was taken aback when he heard this, and stared at him with wide eyes:
"Do you want to change the plan of the military division?"
"Hehehe, Long Dao, you have never been to Saibei, and you don't know the wolves of Saibei. When they hunt, they will hide in bushes, rocks, and grass, slowly approaching, and then when the prey is unprepared When it is time, it suddenly pounces from behind and launches a sudden attack. Few of the prey that are attacked in this way can escape."
"There are only forty of them, and at least half of them have put down their weapons and left their horses. This is the most defenseless time, and there is no better opportunity to attack them than now. On the grassland, if it is Our Turkic army will never let go of such an opportunity."
"The military division doesn't know what we see now, if he knows, he will definitely agree."
The jackal was hideous, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, the scarlet tongue curled up and licked the tip of his nose.
The big man with thick arms and gnarled muscles had an uncertain face.
"At least,
We should also tell the military adviser and make a decision after asking the military adviser's opinion? "
After struggling for a long time, the muscular man finally spoke.
For the military division, he has great respect, almost instinctively, and he doesn't want to destroy the military division's plan.
"Hehe, the military advisor is Han, and I can understand if you agree with him. In fact, I also respect the military advisor very much. He is a wise man. However, if you think about it, these officers and soldiers can make fire and cook food at most. It’s just a few sticks of incense. When you send a message back from here, the terrain is complicated, it’s difficult to walk, and you need to go around in a big circle. Once you come back and forth, you’ll miss the time. Unless you run directly from here to tell the military division.”
"However, if we do this, we will definitely be discovered by the surrounded officers and soldiers on the hillside. As long as they call out, our preparations will be in vain. At that time, our whereabouts will be exposed, and it will be easier for these people to escape. "
Jackal said. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a faint light like a beast in his eyes.
The Turkic people on the grasslands are not as rich in culture as the Han people, nor are they so delicate.
But the Turks are not stupid, especially when it comes to war.
In fact, among the iron-clothed horse bandits, the Jackal belongs to a small number of Turkic people with great war wisdom. Even Li Tieyi, the bandit leader, spoke highly of him.
If it weren't for his favor and attention, he wouldn't have been selected as the leader of this mission, leading his brothers to carry out the mission of outflanking the rear.
In fact, among the iron-clothed horse bandits, apart from the leader Li Tieyi and military adviser Zhou An, he is the third most well-deserved figure.
Whether it is his ferocity, bravery, or ability to grasp fighters, he is deeply respected by his brothers.
"Long Dao, you have two choices now. The first one is that we go around to the back and cut off his retreat. According to the military adviser, we wait for the opportunity, cooperate with the inside and outside, outflank them in one fell swoop, and cut off their retreat. In this way, very Insurance, but it cannot play the role of a surprise attack. Because at that time, they should have already fought with the brothers, and our role is only to surround them."
"At that time, all these officers and soldiers will be dead and wounded. But the brothers will definitely suffer heavy losses. The military adviser can tell us to outflank the rear and take such a big turn. It takes time and effort, and the combat effectiveness of the opponent can be imagined."
"The second one is that we are launching an attack now. You can signal to the army divisions and let them cooperate to attack together. In addition, in order to prevent other scattered officers and troops from escaping, I can specially draw a team of 30 people to go around Go to the rear, guard the official road, and copy their back route. Once the officers and soldiers appear, immediately attack them one by one. This is the safest way at present."
"In this way, we will lose the fewest brothers. We will hit them the hardest. But it will violate the order of the military division. Long knife, you choose one!"
The jackal turned his head and looked at the man beside him.
This trip is headed by the two of them. Regardless of whether there is a fight or not, any action must be agreed by the two of them before they start acting.
This is the rule of the iron horse thief.
The man with the thick arms said nothing, his face fluctuating. The military division's order and the perfect opportunity in front of him flashed alternately in his mind, and finally he gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Just do as you say."
Although some violated the orders of the military division, there was one thing that the jackal was right about. The current group of officers and soldiers is indeed the most defenseless time.
Attacking them at this time, condescending, and the speed of the horses at their best, is indeed the way to pay the least price.
"Hey, Long Dao, congratulations on making the most sensible decision!"
The jackal laughed, as if he had expected Long Dao to make such a decision. Pulling the rein, the jackal turned around and retreated behind the thorns.
"Brothers, get ready..."
Behind the thick thorns, there are big tall horses, and a famous horse bandit on the horses, each of them has a fierce expression, a strong breath, and high temples. Under their horses, there are circles of real martial arts halos.
"kill!"
A moment later, the earth trembled, the mountains roared, and the horses galloped. Seventy or eighty iron-clothed horse bandits at the real martial arts level jumped out of the high mountain like tigers descending the mountain.
The steep sloping terrain maximized the sprinting speed of the horses. In just twenty or thirty feet, each horse reached an astonishing speed.
Rumbling, smoke billowing, the whole earth trembled under the iron hooves of the war horses.
Fifty feet, seventy feet...
In just an instant, the hordes of horse bandits had already covered more than half of the distance, and the speed was still increasing. And the Tang officers and soldiers at the bottom of the mountain didn't even have time to react.
"Brothers, kill them all!"
"The military adviser said that they still have several million taels of gold!"
"Don't let them escape!"
"Kill!"
...
Billowing smoke and dust mixed with fallen leaves and weeds rushed up into the sky, and a famous horse bandit screamed and screamed, his blood pulsed by the upcoming fierce battle, and he was extremely excited.
Wang Chong could use his war horse to charge and charge on the official road, superimposing the power of the Tang cavalry to the extreme, displaying a strength far beyond his own, and the horse bandits could do the same.
When the horse bandit with superimposed speed rushed down, even if there was a huge boulder in front of him, it could still be kicked and cracked, let alone the flesh and blood on the official road at the bottom of the mountain.
In this battle, from the very beginning, the horse bandits had already stood on the side of the balance of victory.
...
"Report, found that those who are making fire and cooking on the official road."
At the same time, far away, behind the vast bandits and horse bandits, a horse bandit scout with a strong back walked through the crowd and bowed to report in front of the military adviser Zhou An.
"Report! Lord Jackal and Lord Changdao have sent news that the enemy is making fire and cooking, and they are preparing to launch a surprise attack to defeat the opponent! I hope the military advisor will cooperate."
At this moment, the horse's hooves clicked, and another horse bandit who sent the message turned over, leaped off the horse, and appeared in front of Li Tieyi and Zhou An as well.
The two messages arrived one after the other, almost at the same time.
"What?"
Hearing the news, military adviser Zhou An's face changed almost instantly. This is not the order he conveyed. However, before he could react, he heard an earth-shattering cry of killing, a deafening sound that could be heard almost far away.
Zhou An was stunned for a moment.
too fast!
It all happened so fast!
And it's not exactly what he planned.
"Zhou An, what should I do next?"
Li Tieyi was also a little stunned. The military adviser had told him about his plan, and the scene in front of him was obviously different from what the military adviser had told him.
The jackal and the long knife obviously disrupted his rhythm.
But the jackal and the long knife are his old subordinates, and he believes that they must have their own reasons for doing so.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment, and Zhou An's mind was going up and down one after another. Undoubtedly, a variable appeared:
Making a fire and cooking!
It was precisely this that Jackal and Changdao found out that they suddenly changed their plans. Even Zhou An couldn't blame him for launching a sudden attack while the other party was making a fire and cooking.
"Let me ask you, when you were scouting ahead, did you smell the food?"
Zhou An said suddenly.
"ah?"
The horse bandit scout who was asked was stunned. He didn't expect the military division to ask this:
"This... I didn't get too close, as if I didn't smell it."
"Not good! That kid is too cunning, the jackals have fallen for it!"
Hearing this sentence, Zhou An's face was ashen:
"My lord, hurry up and bring all your brothers to attack, or it will be too late. The rest of them will besiege the official army on the hillside with all their strength. Whether they can help the jackals depends on now!"
Zhou An's face was full of panic.
"What!"
Hearing these words, everyone around the boulder instantly changed their expressions. Even Li Tieyi showed a shocked expression.
