Chapter 368 Capture the Scout!
Chapter 368 Capture the Scout
Zhao Yatong's efficiency was indeed very high. Relying on the reputation of Lie Yanhong Spear and the strength of King Song, Zhao Yatong quickly attracted five students from Longwei and Shenwei training camp.
These people are basically as famous as Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu, and their backgrounds are also extremely extraordinary. If it weren't for the great reputation of Beidou General Ge Shuhan, they might not be able to restrain them.
With the joining of these five people, plus Zhao Yatong's own soldiers and horses, Wang Chong has already gathered 200 Great Tang cavalry around him.
This number is not a lot, but it is enough to carry out Wang Chong's plan with the 400 infantry soldiers of the captain of the Beidou Army and more than 300 other cavalry.
In fact, Wang Chong already had the confidence to completely disperse the Uzbek army on the top of the mountain with these 200 Tang cavalry.
...
A mountain rose from the ground, surrounded by clouds and mist, and at the foot of the mountain, ten soldiers and horses gathered together, and ten handsome young men and women on horseback were looking up at the mountain.
The mountains are very beautiful, with layers of emerald green, gloomy and hurried, like a picture scroll. But when they thought that there were about 300 murderous and extremely fierce Uzbek Tibetan cavalry hidden on the top of the mountain, no one was in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the mountain.
"The terrain is very steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as a few Uzbek cavalry on the top of the mountain rush out at any time, we will basically be defeated. Moreover, after a few days of lingering, these Uzbek Tibetans probably know the mountain very well. .And us outsiders have just come here, and now they don’t know as much about this place as they do!”
The person who spoke was a young man of about 21 or 20 years old from an aristocratic family, with a tall figure and a monkey back. He looked very heroic, and his every move was like a child of an aristocratic family. He looked very elegant.
This person is Fang Xuanying, one of the few training camp students that Zhao Yatong called. Unlike Zhao Yatong, he was originally from the Shenwei training camp, and he didn't know Zhao Yatong at all before.
Participated in several operations with Zhao Yatong, was defeated by the Tibetans of Uzbekistan, and was saved by Zhao Yatong once, so gradually became acquainted with Zhao Yatong.
He was supposed to leave this time, but later he heard that Wang Chong from the Wang family in the capital had invited him, and he had the token of King Song, so he stayed.
Although she was much older than Wang Chong, Fang Xuanying was very decent when she spoke, and she didn't despise Wang Chong because of it. On the contrary, she respected Wang Chong a lot.
The Fang family in Beijing is also a big family,
But the Wang family in the capital is still far behind.
And when dealing with the children of aristocratic families, they never look young.
In the current Shang capital, the name Wang Chong is in full swing. Everyone knows that although this one is the youngest, he is deeply favored by Jiu Gong and the Holy One, and will inherit the influence and mantle of the Wang family in the future.
In front of this future heir of the royal family, no matter how old he is, it doesn't mean anything.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Uz Tibetans can't get out of it. We can't do anything about it. If we send people up for reconnaissance, there are too few people, useless, and they will be killed easily. If there are more people, Uz The Tibetans lined up and rushed down from the top, and immediately killed them scattered, and lost their lives in vain."
Another student from the training camp also echoed, looking helpless.
The Uzbek Tibetans on this mountain are now a hard bone, they cannot be chewed or beaten away, but they cannot be ignored.
The Great Fighting Army couldn't spare any manpower, so the heavy burden fell on them.
From the beginning to the present, several students in the training camp who participated in the mission have died. The number of soldiers who died in battle is even more unknown.
"There's no need to rush up, just let them come down."
Wang Chong sat on the horse's back, held the rope with both hands, looked at the top of the mountain and said indifferently. Among the crowd, although he is young, his expression and every move unconsciously give people a strong confidence, which makes people subconsciously ignore his real youth.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!
The first thing to know about any fight is your opponent, and where to fight. Wang Chong came this time to learn about the terrain here.
Understand the topography and topography here, and then you can make suitable arrangements.
Looking slowly over this majestic mountain, the surrounding peaks and the undulating terrain, Wang Chong nodded imperceptibly.
"Okay, let's stop here today, I already know what to do in tomorrow's battle!"
Wang Chong said.
"So fast?"
Hearing Wang Chong's words, everyone was stunned. Wang Chong said that everyone brought him here because they wanted to investigate the location of tomorrow's battle, but it's not long since everyone came here, right?
Fang Xuanying and others who had just come into contact with Wang Chong were a little uncomfortable.
"Okay, if Wang Chong says it's ok, then it's ok. Everyone just do it!"
Bai Siling spoke at this time.
She and Wang Chong were the ones who had stayed the longest, and they had experienced many things together, so they knew Wang Chong very well. Knowing that he said it's okay, it's okay.
He will never lie about this.
"Now that Siling has said it all, then there is no problem."
Zhao Yatong also chimed in.
The Bai family in the capital is like thunder in the capital, and the flaming red gun is even more famous. With these two people coming forward to speak for Wang Chong, everyone really believed that Wang Chong had completed the reconnaissance in such a short time, and had Preparations for tomorrow's battle.
"The young master is really extraordinary, no wonder he is favored by the Holy Emperor. Tomorrow's battle, we will listen to the young master."
Fang Xuanying said.
"Hehe, the big battle is tomorrow, but next, there is one more thing I want to trouble everyone. If this matter is not resolved, our plan for tomorrow will not be able to start."
Wang Chong said.
This turn of events surprised everyone.
"Please tell me, son, if there is anything that requires our cooperation, we will definitely cooperate with all our strength!"
Fang Xuanying said seriously.
Zhao Yatong and the others also nodded. It involves tomorrow's big battle and everyone's life is involved. This is not a child's play, and everyone takes it seriously.
Wang Chong smiled and said the next thing.
"impossible?"
Hearing what Wang Chong said, Zhao Yatong was surprised:
"We have fought the Uzbek Tibetans so many times, and we have never found any of these. If there were, we would definitely find out."
Fang Xuanying and the others also frowned. Obviously, like Zhao Yatong, they had no such discovery in this regard.
"Don't worry, although the Tibetans in Uzbekistan are not familiar with Longxi, they are not idiots. They will definitely do this. It's just that you didn't find out."
Wang Chong smiled slightly.
"Okay, since you said so, then we will do it. Hope to find them."
Zhao Yatong said.
In the past, she would have scoffed at Wang Chong's words, but now, she dare not underestimate this Wang family child who is only fifteen or sixteen years old and much younger than herself.
"Si Ling, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, you should also cooperate with them."
Wang Chong turned his head to look at Bai Siling and the others.
"Um"
All three nodded. They are newcomers and don't know anything about the terrain near the collection point. In this regard, they can only assist them from the side.
Next, everything was arranged according to Wang Chong's arrangement. All the two hundred Great Tang cavalry spread out, forming a large net, and distributed them around the official post, covering the area.
...
Time passed unknowingly, from morning to noon, and then to afternoon, the sun gradually slanted to the west, around the official post, 200 iron cavalry patrolled and went, but still found nothing.
"Wang Chong, are you making too much of a fuss? The Tibetans of Uzbekistan are far stronger than us, and they have fought four consecutive wars. Under these circumstances, do you think it is necessary for them to send out scouts? Spy on us?"
Outside the fence of the official post, several war horses gathered together, it was Bai Siling who couldn't help but speak first.
It's not that she doesn't believe in Wang Chong, in fact, it's been a long time. There was not a single Uzbek Tibetan scout found around the official post.
The Tibetans of Uzbekistan are very different from the people of the Central Plains. Once they appear, it is impossible not to find them.
"Or, the scouts of the Uzbek Tibetans will only come out to scout at night? You also said that they don't dare to go down the mountain easily."
Zhao Yatong also tentatively said, and changed to a euphemistic way of saying it.
It's not that she doesn't believe it, but she, Fang Xuanying and the others haven't found a single Uzang scout after being around the official post for so long.
This is what they did when they heard Wang Chong mention it. If it were someone else, they would just laugh it off and not take it seriously.
"Don't worry. They will come! I have observed that the terrain there is humid, and the clouds will appear in the morning. But I asked you before, the three attacks were early and late, but almost all Uzbek Tibetans When you are assembled at the bottom of the mountain, attack in time."
"There are clouds in the morning, and the top of the mountain is covered, so we can't see it at all. And the wind is strong on the mountain, and the sound of horseshoes may not be heard. If there were no scouts for scouting outside, it would be impossible for them to know so clearly."
"I told you a long time ago. The Uzbek Tibetans are just not familiar with the geography of the Tang Dynasty, but they are not stupid. Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass go first. The scouts are the ones who move before the soldiers and horses and the food and grass. Regardless of the Tang Dynasty or the Zhufan, it is absolutely impossible not to send scouts! This is common sense!"
Wang Chong said calmly. Although his voice was soft, it was beyond doubt.
Wang Chong asked them to hunt down the Uzang scouts, not simply to suppress them. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
If these Uzang scouts are not killed and let them wander around, all the secrets will be clearly discovered by them.
That's why Wang Chong said that if this step is not resolved, tomorrow's plan cannot be carried out.
Everyone around opened their mouths, unable to utter a word.
Especially Zhao Yatong, who was dumbfounded.
When Wang Chong asked her three days ago, Zhao Yatong knew everything and said everything. But she never thought that the insignificant things Wang Chong asked would be related to this.
Wang Chong just went around and came to so many conclusions. This made Zhao Yatong, a proud girl who thought she was smart, unable to say a word.
