Chapter 1396: Silence

Jiang Xing happily returned to his tent, then took out the piece of spun yarn from his arms, and said triumphantly: "What do you care if I have a few bags on my face? When my daughter-in-law sees this piece of spun yarn, she will be fine." Serve me! You can do whatever you want, it will be refreshing!"

A tent lived in a small flag department. Everyone used medicine to smear their faces. Some couldn't help but want to scratch a few times, but remembered the doctor's explanation, so they all endured it, grinning and moving their facial muscles. It looked weird.

Jiang Xing put the scarf back into his bosom, then lay down on his bunk humming a little song, snoring like thunder after a while.

The night is like water, quietly not disturbing the sleep of these people, but some people are restless.

Bagen has been waiting, waiting for news.

Under the same night sky, Ba Gen looked into the distance and felt that the generals of the Ming army must be restless.

Wait and wait, Bagen stands still, like a sculpture.

As the dew began to rise, Bargen heard the sound of a horse's hooves.

The sound of the hoofbeats was a bit hasty, Ba Gen was a veteran, he could hear the emotion from the sound of the horseshoes.

This emotion is wrong, not like the emotion of returning from victory.

Ba Gen took a step back stiffly, lowered his eyes, waited for the sound of horseshoes to approach, and asked amidst the sound of panting: "It's been hard work, let's all go back and rest!"

These scouts were in a panic, full of fear, and several scouts were carrying crossbow arrows. When they heard Bagen's words, they couldn't help but choked up.

The air was filled with sadness and decadence, as if a defeated army was in despair and helplessness.

Ba Gen stood there blankly, he knew that this kind of emotion could not spread, otherwise this small army, which had already lost a quarter, would fall apart and lose all fighting spirit.

With trembling cheeks, Ba Gen said firmly, "Go, kill a few sheep, prepare some wine, and let these brothers eat their fill!"

The dozen or so surviving scouts dismounted silently, bowed one by one as they walked past Bagen, and were led to a corner of the camp, where a bonfire had just been lit, and several civilian men accompanying the army were killing sheep.

"My lord, they didn't get the news. They only know that the camp of the Ming army is very large, with a camp of about 20,000 people."

Bagen remained motionless in the night wind,

After a long time, he said: "The grand master thought that the Ming army would not take the initiative to attack, and the Ming emperor would not be a fool, and would allow us to annex the Tatars, but...Ming emperor is a great talent after all, remember, Ming emperor is indeed a great talent .”

Ba Gen was a little sad. He felt that Tuo Huan was no worse than Zhu Di in terms of momentum, but he had bad luck and was at the weakest time of the Wala people.

"Since Emperor Ming sent troops, he must have seen through the grand master's idea of ​​gradually encroaching, and attacked decisively. In fact, at this moment, I just want to know which guard the Ming army is coming from."

A look of worry floated on Ba Gen's face, and then disappeared.

"I'm worried that it's that demon god who came..."

"grown ups……"

The exclamation behind him proved the influence of the name 'Devil God' on the grassland, and it can be said to be able to stop children from crying at night.

Ba Gen smiled wryly and said: "The size of the Ming army is roughly determined. If it is an ordinary guard, then the grand master can attack immediately and repeat the Tatars' act of defeating Qiu Fu, but if the demon god leads the army... so this is what I want regardless of casualties. The reason for sending people to sentry."

A commander behind him smiled wryly and said, "If that demon god comes, my lord, what shall we do? I remember that last time Arutai was still able to break through to Xinghe Fort with all his troops. Although we are stronger than the Tatars, we There is no way...to stop it!"

The other commander was not convinced, probably because he had never fought against Fang Xing, so he proudly said: "My lord, on the grassland we are just wolves, and Ming people are just sheep, even if we are harassed, we can wear it down." them!"

Ba Gen ignored this idiot, but the commander who lost almost 30% of his subordinates today scolded: "You idiot! Do you know that the demon god's subordinates are like hedgehogs, and you have to pay the price if you get close!"

"alright!"

At this time, Ba Gen will not allow internal fighting, he said in a deep voice: "Steady the people below, and, as long as the people who stay to report tomorrow, even if the others are exhausted, they have to find out for me The origin!"

After the death-like silence, Bagen said: "Go, those scouts have worked hard, let them eat more, make sure they are full...then get well...quiet."

Morale is what Bargen considers, for which he can make his subordinates pay the price.

...

Fang Xing was looking at the map in the tent, and various plans were constantly merging in his mind. Gradually, the space between his brows relaxed, then he dropped the pen, got up, stretched himself, and left the tent.

There was still no morning star in the eastern sky, Fang Xing moved his body and slowly paced in the camp.

Seeing Fang Xing alone, the patrolling sergeant came over and whispered, "Uncle, it's not safe!"

In a war zone, the general must have enough guards around him. This is not because he is afraid of death, but because he will lose his combat effectiveness.

Fang Xing smiled and pointed to the right. The soldiers patrolling the battalion saw no one.

Fang Xing snapped his fingers, and a knife came out from the shadows, followed by a sergeant from the small flag department, full of crossbow arrows.

The sergeants patrolling the battalion laughed, Fang Xing didn't blame them, and comforted him: "The night watchmen over there have already found Xiao Dao and the others, it's not your fault, don't worry."

After looking at the sergeants who were still sticking to their posts, a bright spot finally appeared in the sky.

"It's almost dawn!"

...

At dawn, the camp began to boil, more than 10,000 people ate and drank, and the smell and smell in the air were mixed together. Those who hadn't experienced it would never be able to imagine what it was like.

Fang Xing ate something casually, and then took the people to the battlefield last night.

After a night of 'freezing', the corpses on the grass were hard, and most of them had grim expressions.

Fang Xing picked up a long knife, picked up the clothes of a corpse, and said: "Look, the underwear is very simple, it's just a few layers of rags stacked to keep warm, and the Wala people are still poor ghosts!"

The equipment of the scouts should be the best in the whole army, so Fang Xing was sure that the Oirats were still in trouble.

Chen De directly tore off his clothes without hesitation, pointed to the green abdomen and said, "I'm not full, it seems that their supplies are not sufficient, everyone, this is not the main force of the Wala people."

Lin Qun'an nodded and said: "Definitely not, otherwise the main force will come out and confront the detective directly."

Fang Xing threw down the long knife, and after Xin Lao Qi broke the knife with one foot, he said, "No matter what, judging from last night's actions, the enemy army is desperately trying to find out our origin, and there will definitely be another attack today." There is a follow-up, everyone is ready, and the ranger will be dispatched immediately."

Sun Yue said: "Uncle, if there is a small group of enemy troops, I'm afraid they will come to investigate with the determination to die. At that time, will the subordinates lead the troops to attack alone, or..."

"No need."

Fang Xing turned around and prepared to go back, and said, "If the enemy forces attack in full force, then we can bury them here. As for the news leaking out, it's fine, just to see how the reaction of Tuohuan will be."

Wang He yawned and said, "Uncle Xinghe, once we arrive at Xinghe Fort, Tuo Huan will definitely take the initiative to come out and invite us to attack, but our family thinks it's mostly for the Harlie people to see."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "That's right, so this is the benefit of finding out the enemy's intentions before the battle. If you are sure of your desire to escape, the initiative is on our side, so we can't help him not to take the bait."

In the big camp, countless sergeants were dismantling the tents, and the peasants began to pack their things and prepare the carriages and ox carts.

"lets go!"

A tinge of purple appeared on the sky, and the army left the camp, heading towards Xinghe Fort in mighty force.
