The remaining two scouts, one went to inquire about the situation in Qinguan, and the other went to the border of Sui Kingdom. All these scouts were all experienced and possessed unique skills, and they brought all the news to Xue Ziqin on the same day.
In Qinguan, there are indeed many Wuqu people fighting, but a few days ago, Wuqu had already won the ticket, and the king of Wuqu withdrew to the camp, leaving only more than 2,000 people to continue fighting in Qinguan.
After hearing this news, Xue Ziqin didn't understand why Wuqu didn't attack with all his strength. If it broke into the hinterland of Shangzhou, wouldn't it be a bigger advantage? It was only after Zhou Xiao explained it to him that he understood the reasons.
"Tribes like Wuqu don't have a city, so they can't store food. When there is a good year, they eat a lot on the grasslands, and they can't accumulate it. If they encounter natural disasters, it will be the disaster of genocide." Zhou Xiao said, "Having entered Qinguan, They only need to fight the remnant soldiers and grab food at the same time, since they can grab it, why bother to fight inside, the general also knows that it is impossible for them to penetrate the hinterland, and the King of Wuqu must also know."
When the two scouts came back, it was already night. The night walk a few days ago made everyone feel the spirit of the night. At this moment, Xue Ziqin and Zhou Xiao were still standing in a position with a wide field of vision, watching the fire on the grassland, thinking carefully about the countermeasures.
The more you think about it before the battle, the better your chances of winning.
"Suiguo is as you expected. Although it is on the watch with Wuqu, it is necessary to rush to support it in time. It will take less than half an hour. If the number of people is large, it will take longer." Xue Ziqin said.
Speaking of which, he was suddenly thirsty, turned around and called Guo Linchong, "Bring some water here."
Guo Linchong was eating, and when Xue Ziqin called out, he took the food in his mouth and hurriedly brought the kettle over. The kettle was handed to Xue Ziqin, Guo Linchong held the dry food in his hand again, and asked, "When will we attack?"
When Xue Ziqin said these words, he choked on the water and coughed twice. He threw the water bottle back to Guo Linchong, and then scolded, "I attacked without thinking of a plan? Why are you so heartless?"
Guo Linchong smirked twice: "Isn't this the spirit of the night, I will ask, you two continue to discuss."
Xue Ziqin stopped him: "Wait."
Guo Linchong had an ominous premonition, but he still turned his head obediently, looked at Xue Ziqin, and waited for the following. I saw Xue Ziqin think about it for a while and said to him: "Since you are so energetic, then go do something."
"what's up?"
"You take Jiang Ye to find out the location for me." Xue Ziqin said.
"General, are you kidding me? What are you doing, once the patrolmen find out, it won't be a shock to the snake?" Guo Linchong said in a panic. It's not that he made excuses because he didn't want to go, what he said really made sense.
Xue Ziqin smirked and said nothing.
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Xiao laughed and said to Guo Linchong, "General's intention is to let you two go deep into the enemy's line."
Speaking of tactics, Guo Linchong is definitely not a waste. Of course he understands what it means, but the difficulty of execution is not generally high, so he asked again: "General, the last general thinks that it may be difficult to succeed. The patrolling team must be If we know each other, as long as we meet, we will help each other.”
Xue Ziqin was irritated by Guo Linchong's words, and gave him a kick: "Idiot, wouldn't you tell the people in the former camp that you are from the left camp?"
"Then what am I doing in the former camp..."
Zhou Xiao said: "You pass the news to the former camp."
Guo Linchong suddenly realized and nodded.
Zhou Xiao went on to say: "I heard that Vice-General Guo makes good use of surprise soldiers, and now I can't say what tactics to go there, but I believe Vice-General Guo must have a way to deal with it."
Having said that, Guo Linchong had to agree to make it difficult for Guo Linchong to ride a tiger.
Then, in the dim light, Guo Linchong looked at next Zhou Xiao's face.
He had met Zhou Xiao a few times before, and it was when he was in the Northern Army. He knew his name, but he had never dealt with him. It was the first time he had gotten along with this person, and he actually found out that Zhou Xiao was a few years older than Xue Ziqin, yet he was younger, a little girlish, and his skin was pale, which was completely different from these swarthy soldiers. .
Is it better to be a counselor? A strange thought popped into his head, but he was immediately suppressed by himself.
Looking at Guo Linchong, Xue Ziqin should have understood the meaning, and then arranged: "Go to the previous scouts and ask about the patrolmen's situation. Wherever you can find out clearly, you can start from where."
"Yes!"
Zhou Xiao raised his hand to stop Guo Linchong who was about to act: "I'll come with you."
Guo Linchong was puzzled and looked at Xue Ziqin. Xue Ziqin didn't say much, he trusted Zhou Xiao very much, so he nodded in agreement. Zhou Xiao led Guo Linchong to find the scout who had been listening to the news earlier. Guo Linchong saw Jiang Ye and Jia Da Jia Er sitting under the tree in a daze, opened his mouth and shouted, "Jiang Ye, come here, there is a task."
Jiang also looked up and saw Guo Linchong and Zhou Xiao, and immediately planned to get up and follow. Jia Da suddenly said: "The general is very optimistic about Big Brother Jiang, this time I will trouble Big Brother Jiang!" He also bowed heavily to Jiang, with a solemn expression. Jia Er looked a little more relaxed. When he saw Jia Da acting like this, he followed and bowed: "I'm sorry, Big Brother Jiang!"
Jiang Ye couldn't bear such an entrustment, so he quickly went up to help the two of them up, and said, "Don't be like this, aren't we... brothers? I know your feelings. If you need someone, I will definitely take the two of you there. , don't worry, the general already has a countermeasure, we will definitely win!"
Jiang Ye's voice was not too loud, and he spoke very lightly, but every word and sentence carried a lot of weight in Jia Da Jia Er's heart, especially the sentence "Aren't we brothers?", which made Jia Da a little moved. He also nodded to the river: "There is something the two of us can do, so we must do our part!"
"exactly!"
Jiang also pretended to smile easily, trying to relax the two of them, and then turned to look for Guo Linchong.
Guo Linchong and Zhou Xiao stood in a place where there was no fire, waiting for Jiang to come over.
"Jiang Ye, the general ordered you and me to sneak into the enemy's line and find out the news." Guo Linchong said succinctly. Jiang didn't ask any questions either. The task assigned by the general was simple, but the implementation would certainly not be so simple. Knowing that he did not have any military talents, he just looked at Guo Linchong and waited for the following. In the end, Guo Linchong didn't say anything further, instead he looked at Zhou Xiao. Zhou Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Two plans, or, directly kill a team of patrols, and you can explore the truth and evacuate tonight."
Guo Linchong shook his head: "It's not right, even if we withdraw, it will reveal that someone is coming to make trouble, and we will only remind them to be careful."
Zhou Xiao smiled: "So, there is a second one. We can bring a few more people over, first tempt the patrols in the back battalion to chase them, and then wait for the opportunity to stun the two, take off the clothes and put them on, and then bring them with them. A few decoys, go to Youying, and say that they were caught near Youying." Zhou Xiao paused, and Guo Linchong shook his head quickly: "No, no, isn't it the brothers who are ignoring their lives and death?"
Zhou Xiao smiled again: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished yet."
Jiang also understood the general idea, and quickly said: "Big Brother Zhou means, let the bait run away, let the right camp open an opening, and then we will directly disguise and inspect it?"
"Exactly."
Jiang also thought about it and said, "I have two brothers here, both of whom are from Qinguan, and their physical strength is very good. Why not let them be the bait?"
"Yes." Guo Linchong naturally knew Jia Da Jia Er. They were personally trained by Xue Ziqin in the camp, and their natural abilities would not be much worse. "Then let's go to the scouts first and ask about the patrol situation. If the situation is unclear, we can only see the tricks."
Zhou Xiao nodded: "You follow me to find him."
Jiang also said, "I'll go and call him two."
Several people acted separately, very quickly, and it didn't take long for them to gather at the starting point.
Due to the sound of hooves, although there was some distance in the past, there was no other way but to walk. The five of them walked quickly to the Wuqu Camp, and did not communicate loudly, for fear of making a mistake and losing the whole game.
After walking for about an hour, they were finally less than a mile away from the Wuqu Rear Camp. Everyone was really physically strong, and even the sound of breathing was minimal.
Zhou Xiao took the lead and squatted down, and everyone hid in the grass. At this time, the figures of the patrolling soldiers were vaguely visible. They carried torches and were very eye-catching in the night. Zhou Xiao turned his head and said in an angry voice, "Jia Da Jia Er will walk around in front of the inspection for a while, attracting a few people to come over."
Jia Da looked at Zhou Xiao with firm eyes and replied, "Yes!"
His answer was a bit loud, and Jiang also reminded in a low voice, "Shh!"
Zhou Xiao saw the opportunity, made a gesture, and whispered, "Go."
When Jia Da Jia Er heard the words, he went directly to the patrolling soldiers in the rear camp. As they got closer and closer, the two of them didn't forget to put on a pretence, instead of going directly, they swayed.
Guo Linchong and the three circled slightly from the side, and also approached the camp. The enemy is in the light, they are in the dark, as long as they hide for a little bit, it is impossible to notice them, especially, the goals of Jia Da Jia Er are more obvious.
These are things Jiang Ye didn't know, but he understood them very well. He held his breath as he stared over there, for fear of missing the pre-negotiated timing, and unknowingly, he clenched his fists with nervousness.
The inspector was chatting, and it took a long time to notice that there were two figures not far away.
The information obtained by the scouts is that there are four patrols on one side, and 12 people on each of the large camps on three sides. The situation of the middle battalion is unknown.
As Zhou Xiao expected, it was impossible for all four of them to chase after them. Normally, two people would chase, one guarding and the other reporting. When the patrolmen of the other side found the figure, the four people immediately gathered to discuss something. At this moment, Zhou Xiao made a gesture, and the three of them began to crawl forward.
After the patrolmen discussed it, the two chased in the direction of Jia Da Jia Er, the other one walked into the camp, and the remaining one stood.
At this moment, Guo Linchong and Jiang also immediately split up and stepped forward, but the footsteps were barely audible, only the rustling of the weeds brought up by the walk. Guo Linchong's kung fu is also very good. Once within the range of the darts, he shot two darts and directly fixed them on the patrolmen who turned their backs to them. At the same time, Jiang also walked quickly to the blind spot behind the left-behind patrolman, took out his knife, covered his mouth with one hand, and slashed directly at the opponent's throat with the other, and blood immediately began to flow from the knife edge. He slowly put down the patrolman's body, making the noise as low as possible. Guo Linchong had already walked over to the fallen man, and dragged the body to go to where Zhou Xiao was.
The two worked well together and everything went smoothly.
According to the plan, Jia Da Jia Er just ran away all the way, and when people couldn't catch up, he immediately found a place to hide, and then went to the vicinity of the right camp to wait for them to come out, so as to respond.
Jiang also dragged the body, the smell of blood lingering in his nose.
He suddenly felt that death was no different from being alive. The fear that he used to have disappeared from the first time he fought to kill an enemy on the battlefield.
The corpse was dragged on the ground, making some subtle noises. In order not to be found, the two moved extremely quickly and quickly returned to Zhou Xiao's side.
Zhou Xiao nodded when he saw the two of them coming back, and the two of them started to remove the clothes from the corpse. Zhou Xiao was smeared with the blood of the corpse, wiped it on himself, and grabbed two handfuls of soil, making his face dirty. Guo Jiang and the two changed Wuqu's clothes, loosened their buns, and followed Zhou Xiao, smearing blood and soil on their faces.
The three did all this, walked away with the corpse, and then threw it on the side of the road, ignoring it. The three of them walked quickly to the right camp, and when they saw the fire on the hands of the right camp patrolmen, the three looked at each other and nodded. Zhou Xiao pretended to be seriously injured, and Jiang Ye and Guo Lin drove them towards the Go to the patrol.
The two of them also pretended to be staggering, and when the patrolman saw the change in this place, he raised his voice and threatened: "Who is it?!"
The Wuqu troops are also very good at fighting. As soon as the patrolman made a sound, the other three people who were separated by a little distance immediately gathered towards him, although they were preparing to respond to the enemy.
Guo Linchong took it easy, choked his throat, and let out a weak cry: "Brothers of the right camp! Come and help!"
They were still walking in that direction, and the patrolman pointed his blade at them with some doubts, and approached slowly, very cautiously.
