Chapter 784: The Smart Bone Clock
The shadow guards are a very special existence in the Chu army. Except for the first guard and the second guard, each guard is divided into two battalions, each battalion has 1,000 people, and the baggage battalion is counted separately.
Because the three guards were divided into half to control the artillery and patrol the firearms, they could only bring half out.
Three guards, one thousand men, four guards, three thousand cavalry, the target on the grassland is indeed too big.
At most one or two hundred people can be hidden, and if there are more, it will be exposed.
At that time, count the bones and see, good guy, three thousand cavalry!
The standing army of their tribe was only over 2,000 people, and their horses were confiscated, so they could only fight on foot.
Two thousand infantry still fight against three thousand cavalry?
They have to move overnight!
Xu Qing took a fancy to the population of several bones, so naturally he couldn't let them escape.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao, you are right. The hill where we camped can only hide one or two hundred people at most. If there are more, it will be exposed. Brother Xiao, think about it, we are so big. If the whereabouts are leaked, the number of bones will definitely think it is a fraud, and they will send scouts and other people to investigate the truth, so why don't we do it more realistically?"
Xiao Ye asked; "Brother Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Qing said: "Brother Xiao took a hundred people to camp here, and left another hundred people lurking everywhere. Of course, it doesn't need to be too obvious. We just want them to discover these lurking people, so that they will I feel more at ease, and the rest of the people evacuate southward, away from Brother Xiao, and believe it after a few bones, and feel that there are only two hundred people including the lurking people, and they will definitely lead the army to kill them. Brother Xiao can use the telescope to determine their position , and when they are about to kill, they will use the Thunderbolt as a signal."
Xiao Ye heard Xu Qing's words and continued: "When the time comes, if the army going south hears the sound of thunder, they will immediately rush back to help, killing them by surprise! This plan is very good."
Xu Qing's strategy is obviously very useful.
two days later
number of bones
At this time, the number of bones has made complete preparations, and a total of 2,000 people have gathered in an open space.
Except for more than 100 people left behind by the Wanyan Department to guard the camp, all the others were sent out.
Anyway, if someone really starts to attack their tribe, on the grassland, it is possible for all the people to become soldiers.
Once there is an enemy attack, just send your herdsmen out to defend the tribe together.
Yesterday, Bone Clock sent spies to investigate all the way, and finally found the trace of the son of the virtuous king, and Bone Clock has obtained what the investigators saw and said.
Moreover, counting bone clocks also discovered the conspiracy of the son of the virtuous king. He did not have one hundred cavalry, but two hundred cavalry.
A part of the cavalry was stationed on the hill where the news spread, but the news from the spies was that there were a hundred people hiding in a hidden place two miles away from this hill.
This made Shuguzhong have to marvel at the wisdom of Shuguyuan.
As expected, this news was released on purpose by Prince Xian, his purpose was to show the enemy his weakness.
The son of the virtuous king must have thought that if they heard that there were only a hundred of the son of the virtuous king, they would send at most three or four hundred warriors to raid and capture the son of the virtuous king alive.
But now if the son of the virtuous king has another hundred cavalry, if their three hundred warriors rush out when they are fighting fiercely with the hundred cavalry, their warriors will definitely be wiped out.
But what a pity!
Bone Clock never thought of sending only 300 people!
He is fighting with his back this time, putting all his eggs in one basket. He said that almost all of the standing army they have kept has been sent out.
An army of two thousand men against two hundred men!
Even if the two hundred cavalry of Chu State were all the two thousand people in the Loach Grassland, they could hold them all in their hands!
This is the future of their counting bones!
At this moment, Bone Clock silently praised Own for his wit.
When other leaders learned that there was a small group of Central Plains people attacking the camp, it was all about how many there were on the opposite side, and their grasslands were a little bit more than the opposite side, not too much.
If there are too many, they will not be able to show the bravery of their grasslands!
But he was different, even if there were only two hundred people in front of him, he would go all out and capture them with the momentum of thunder.
He never prided himself on his bravery, so he never To put people from the Central Plains in one's eyes.
Even if the opponent is very weak, I have to go all out!
Where in the world is there such a smart leader as him?
Only a smart leader like him can accomplish great things!
...
After half an hour of counting bone clocks and finally finishing the pre-war mobilization, two thousand people set off in such a mighty way. Their goal was only one, and that was to capture the son of the virtuous king alive!
After seeing the army walk out of the tribe, Counting Bone Clock also returned to his leader's tent. He was in a good mood and took a pot of kumiss, ready to drink while waiting for his two thousand warriors to kill the virtuous king of Damn it. The prince came to your door with all kinds of flowers tied up.
As if his army had just set off, he saw the final fate of the son of the virtuous king.
Counting the bone clock, he poured the kumiss into a bowl and drank it down, exclaiming happily.
Ever since the Khan confiscated all the horses with bones, he drank less of the kumiss.
Unable to mount a horse and gallop, and unable to drink kumiss, counting bone clocks, he does not know how to live the next day.
But the hard times are coming to an end.
As long as the son of the virtuous king can be captured and dedicated to Khan, this is a great achievement!
At that time, they will only be under the three major tribes, and it is not impossible for them to mount their horses again!
The more Bone Clock thinks about this, the more hopeful he feels.
After an unknown amount of time, a prairie man in animal skins came in and said, "Boss!"
The counting bone clock stood up, overjoyed and said: "Is it possible that the warriors of my counting bones have returned? What about the son of the virtuous king?"
The prairie man dressed in animal skins said: "No, the leader, the army has just set off not long ago, and the leader is a little impatient."
Counting the bones, he said, "Then what do you want Ben Khan to report?"
The prairie man said, "Reporting to Commander, there is a prairie caravan outside, wanting to do business with us?"
"Caravan?" Bone Clock asked suspiciously, "How many people are there? Are there any cargo?"
During this period of time, the grassland was not very peaceful. I heard that some people used the name of merchants in the Central Plains to sneak into other people's homes, kill people and rob things.
Snatched everything that could be snatched.
It's too scary to set fire to someone else's tent when it's over!
If you don't pull the goods, just rely on two mouths, it must be fake!
The prairie man said: "Reporting to Khan, they pulled two carts of grain, and another cart of salt and tea! They are all high-quality salt and tea, and the grains are also full. You can't go wrong!"
