Chapter 1395: Breaking the Balance

Chapter 1395 Breaking the Balance

Thanks to the book friends: the rewards of "calligraphy and painting shortage"!

...

Fang Xing was very tired, but he didn't dare to slack off, and took people to check the camp as soon as they set up camp.

"Uncle, the army is stationed here, the only thing to worry about is the food road, other than that, unless the country of Halle comes here with all its troops, we should be able to run across this grassland."

"The size of the enemy's scouts should be around 1,000 people. If calculated according to this, the enemy's army should be around 20,000 people. However, the officials thought that they might be a small group of enemy troops who came to spy on Ming Dynasty, so they sent out these people in a desperate attempt. Come check out our army."

"Uncle, there is another Yili that deserves attention. This place has never been a territory that the Central Plains can hold firmly. If they want to follow the Harlei people to take advantage of it, then we will be attacked on several occasions."

Lin Qun'an and Chen De were constantly analyzing the situation at this time, Fang Xing nodded slightly and said: "Yili has split up many times, unless Daming fails, they must not dare to get involved, um...Of course, there is another possibility , that is, Halie and Wala jointly provide certain benefits to lure them to send troops."

Fang Xing went back to his tent after patrolling the defenses all the way, so tired that he didn't want to take off his armor anymore.

"master."

When Xin Laoqi came in, Fang Xing stood up with a wry smile, stretched out his arms, and asked him to help him disarm.

Fang Wu also came and said: "Master, the enemy army is in the northwest direction, can you go to check it out tonight?"

"No need."

Fang Xing took off his armor and immediately felt relaxed. He moved his body and said: "If the enemy's army is tens of thousands, they will definitely approach the sentry instead of sending multiple teams of scouts to take turns to detect. This is the cautiousness of the enemy generals. I judge that they will approach the camp at night. , be alert at night."

Fang Wu agreed, and then went out with Xin Laoqi.

As the setting sun slanted, Daying was like a giant beast coiled on the grassland, with smoke everywhere.

Fang Wu and Xin Laoqi ate dinner casually, and then went to work separately.

But Fang Xing fell asleep.

It's a wonderful feeling to sleep when others are busy and awake when others are asleep,

Also very lonely.

Fang Xing stood behind the fence at the edge of the camp, eating a pancake in his hand slowly.

It was pitch black in the distance, but Fang Xing believed that in the darkness, the enemy's scouts were slowly approaching.

...

After the army set up camp, the rangers would immediately go out to look around, and the light and dark posts would immediately arrange places.

The grassland is a natural hidden area, which is convenient for secret sentries and the lurking approach of enemy scouts.

There are a lot of mosquitoes here, but they can't find enough food, so once they find prey, they will attack frantically.

At this moment, there were two people lurking in the grass. Under the attack of mosquitoes, they remained motionless and merged with the grass.

The sound of insects has been continuous, listening to it makes people sleepy.

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of insects suddenly stopped...

No matter how clever your skills are, no matter how powerful your scout is, as long as you move in the grass, you will definitely startle mosquitoes and make noises.

The rustling sound gradually became clearer and clearer, the two of them remained motionless, even their eyes were squinted, for fear that the reflected light would be spotted by the enemy.

A head suddenly lifted up in the grass, and after searching around for a while, after failing to find it, he was going to lurk again...

Just as his head was halfway hidden in the grass, a black figure suddenly leaped up and landed heavily on the man.

There was a struggle in the grass, until after a click, everything returned to silence.

After killing the opponent, the big light and dark whistle did not dare to move.

There are murderous intentions everywhere in the darkness, and there are countless enemy scouts on this grassland. But the exposed scout was unable to call for backup.

Because if you shout, it will inevitably be a chaos, breaking the predetermined plan, and at the same time, the camp will be alarmed if it is not done well.

The most taboo thing for a large army camp is to be alarmed, which is why tactics such as harassment and harassment are born, which are to make one's opponent exhausted and weaken the combat effectiveness.

The mosquitoes seemed to be driven away by the murderous intent, quietly.

Both sides were waiting, waiting for the other side to make the first move, and the exposed scout became the target of public criticism.

This short scout confrontation was all in Fang Xing's eyes. He put down the binoculars, turned around and looked at the gathered generals of more than a thousand households, and said indifferently: "The enemy's scouts are very bold, this is killing patience. If the battalion moves, then they can judge the origin of our army based on the weapons, death squad!"

Chen Dedao: "Uncle, if you don't have a team of cavalry, just mop them up!"

Lin Qun'an frowned and said, "The ministries will definitely be alarmed, it's not good."

Wang He smiled and said: "They rely on bows and arrows, but we have bows and crossbows! We directly sent scouts to serve them with crossbows and arrows. By the time they got up and manipulated bows and arrows, they would have been shot into honeycombs."

Fang Xing said approvingly: "That's right, this uncle also meant the same thing. He ordered all the scouts to dispatch the torches, and let's shoot rabbits!"

No musket salvo is needed, so there will be little movement.

"Immediately order the hundreds of household officials in the army to keep an eye on their subordinates, and if anyone is disturbed, they are not allowed to make a sound."

"A thousand cavalrymen are on standby! Twenty cannons are on standby, and Jubaoshan Guard has a thousand households on standby."

A series of orders were issued, and there was some movement in the camp, but under deliberate preparations, the sleeping soldiers were not disturbed.

The gate of the camp was opened, the torches were lit, and groups of scouts, holding bows and crossbows, walked out of the camp under the cover of swords and shields.

The balance was broken, and dozens of black figures suddenly stood up in the darkness. They were about to draw their bows and arrows, when a low voice came from the grass: "Crossbow arrows!"

Without getting up or risking being shot by arrows, dozens of crossbow arrows rushed out from the grass and rushed to their targets one by one.

Amidst the miserable howls, the scattered arrows also shot back, but only wounded a Ming army secret sentry.

Now that the balance was broken, the scouts who came out didn't have to be afraid, so their pace began to speed up, gradually turning into a trot.

The light from the torch gradually pushed forward, and gradually those dark shadows appeared, all of them were scouts of the Oirats.

"******"

In the night wind, someone shouted sharply, and immediately the Wala people turned around and ran wildly.

"put……"

The scouts who rushed over refused to let go of this opportunity. A crossbow attack left half of the opponent, and the rest quickly disappeared into the night.

"Uncle, do you want to pursue?"

Sun Yue was a little eager to try, and the thousand cavalry had already been prepared, and they could rush out with a single order, chasing and killing the enemy scouts.

Fang Xing put down the binoculars and said: "The opponent should have cavalry to respond, fighting at night is not good for our army, and they didn't see our army's firearms, take them back!"

Sun Yue sighed regretfully, and ordered the cavalry to disband.

But the artillery was not used, Fang Xing ordered a group of gunners to be on duty to spare the shotgun.

A group of dark whistlers with bald faces came back with a wounded man. Fang Xing saw that it was an arrow shot in the shoulder, and frowned, "Why is the veil given to you useless?"

A small flag officer with a full face smiled and said: "Uncle, the gauze is too thin, take it home...hehe!"

Fang Xing gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Qun'an, Chen De."

"Uncle, I am guilty of the crime."

The two quickly pleaded guilty. Fang Xing explained that Anshao must wear a veil because of health considerations.

But these sergeants didn't like the spun yarn in their hands very much, and most of them planned to keep it and give it to the women at home when they returned.

"May I have your name?"

Fang Xing felt that this little flag officer was really weird.

The swollen guy smiled and said, "Uncle, little Jiang Xing."
