Chapter 517 Guess what Qin Najun is going to do

"Lieutenant Liu wrote us a letter? Did he write to Bi Changyong?" Tang Shaodong was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly.

"That's right." The man responded with a smile.

"That's great! We can return to our hometown!" Tang Shaodong shouted excitedly.

"Speak softly!" the man said, "You are the general's guard, and your tent is so close to the general's tent. If the general hears it, you will not be able to compensate for your fault even if you die!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Tang Shaodong immediately covered his mouth when he heard this. After waiting for a while, he didn't hear a noise outside the tent. He said it twice in a row.

"If you do this again in the future, you won't tell you anything!" The man told me again, and then said, "Lieutenant Liu's letter stated that he would cooperate with the foreign army in the future."

"What should I do?" Tang Shaodong asked.

"Bi Changyong has informed Lieutenant Liu of the place where we know the supply storage. Lieutenant Liu will secretly send someone to bypass the Dashi camp tonight and burn the supply. I think the soldiers of the Dashi Army stationed there will be stationed for several days, and it will not be too strict. The sneak attack will probably be successful.

After that, Lieutenant Liu would suddenly set up camp and lead his troops to retreat. At this time, he had learned that the place where the supply was burned was burned, and he would have been unable to touch it. He would have led his troops to chase him. During the march, the formation would inevitably have flaws. At that time, the Anxi Army suddenly launched a counterattack, and our army would cooperate inside and outside, and we would be able to annihilate the Dashi Army in one fell swoop."

"Okay, okay." Tang Shaodong shouted twice and asked again: "How to do it in detail?"

"As He Pu, you should try to shorten the distance between you and He Pu when you march the next day. Once everyone shouts the slogan of "killing the thief", immediately control He Pu!"

"It's probably not easy," said Tang Shaodong. Of course, he wanted to seize He Pu and make a great contribution; but He Pu certainly knew that his head was very valuable, so he was not only very generous to the guards when they paid their salaries, but also cared very much. Although most guards did not support He Pu's various actions, they were still loyal to him.

There are very few guards like Tang Shaodong who support him anyway, and it is extremely difficult to capture He Pu.

"If you can't capture him alive, killing him will be a great achievement!" the man said again.

"I understand, Brother Li." Tang Shaodong paused for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He originally thought that it was not easy to kill He Pu. He Pu must have been wearing excellent armor and a helmet during his marching. It was definitely not something that a bow or arrow can kill; after all, throwing spears is not as fast as shooting arrows, and it is easy to be avoided; he can't even think about fighting in close combat.

But anyway, the reason why people infiltrated He Pu's guards was to capture or kill He Pu, otherwise why should they risk being discovered? Moreover, Tang Shaodong himself also had the intention of capturing He Pu, so he did not say the difficulties.

"I'm going back. Remember not to show any abnormalities in these two days, just to prevent He Pu from discovering it." The deputy centurion named Li Zongbao gave another instruct and turned around and left.

‘When I march the next day, I must be ready to shoot archery at any time. Once I shout the slogan of "killing thieves", I will shoot arrows at the general. If I don't shoot people or horses, the general will never use iron armor to block the horse's head. As long as I shoot the horses to death, the general will be in a turtle in the jar, either captured alive or trampled to death in the chaos!’ After Li Zongbao left, Tang Shaodong thought so.

But as he thought about it, he suddenly couldn't bear it. In any case, He Pu never treated him badly. It would be fine to kill this man. Shooting the horse to death made him trampled to death by thousands of horses on the battlefield. Tang Shaodong felt very unbearable.

‘Forget it, I’d better kill him as much as possible to avoid suffering. If the general is captured alive, he will be tortured, so he cannot be captured alive. If he is captured alive, I will shoot him to death with one arrow to repay his kindness to me.’

Thinking of this, Tang Shaodong was no longer confused. He took off his coat and lay on the bed to rest. After a while, snoring sounded.

Two days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the next day came. As Li Zongbao and Tang Shaodong said the day before yesterday, they first attacked at night and burned a supply. The next morning, the camp immediately set off after dawn, turned around and headed north.

After receiving this news, Hou Meide, who was writing a request to allocate more supplies to Mulu City, was stunned. The supply last night must have been burned by the Anxi Army, but if Liu Qi had already had the intention to retreat, why should he send someone to burn it? Just to vent his breath before leaving?

Hou Meidesi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, so he ordered the entire army to catch up. If Liu Qi really wanted to withdraw and stop attacking Huluoshan, they would naturally be happy; but if he had other ideas, the cavalry he led was separated from the Anxi army would be a huge mistake. He would rather the soldiers be tired than make mistakes.

Of course, he would not launch an attack on the Anxi Army, but he would not be far or near, and would follow until the banks of the Wuhu River.

The two armies walked one after another for a day. At night, the Anxi Army set up camps, and Hou Meide also ordered the Dashi Army to set up camp ten miles west of the Anxi Army. When camping, some cavalry left on both sides to confront the enemy, but they did not have the intention to attack. They just looked at each other one or two hundred steps apart. After the camp was set up, they returned.

"General, the road that Qin's army is walking today is not their origin." Looking at the Anxi cavalry who was gradually invisible, he stood on the edge of the camp with Hou Meide and looked at a general who was looking at Anxi camp.

"Baisher, do you need to say this?" Another man immediately scolded: "How could the general not see it?"

"Of course the general won't be unable to see it. I'm just reminding people who are stupid like donkeys." Baisher sneered.

"Who do you think is as stupid as a donkey?" The man immediately became furious.

"Whoever is as stupid as a donkey knows in his heart."

"You..." The man was about to speak again, but he was interrupted by Houmeide after he spoke a word: "You all stop talking! Now the form we are facing is so dangerous, and we are still in the mood to joke!"

"We were wrong." The generals following him said one after another.

"Baisheer, you were the first to tell me that the road Qin Najun took at this time was different from the road he took when he came. Why do you think the general Qin Najun did this?" Hou Meide nodded slightly and asked about the serious matter.

"The subordinates believe that it is because the Karakum River is on the south side of this road, and they are trying to stick to the Karakum River. The advantage is that it is more convenient to use water. Although there are small rivers nearby when they came, the amount of water is much smaller than that of the Karakum River. So although the distance to this road is longer than the road when they came, the burden on the army may be smaller.

Secondly, the Karakum River can sail boats, and the Qin people can drive ships into this river and release some soldiers and baggage onto the ship to further reduce the burden on the army.

At the same time, when the Qin man could mobilize the ship, they might have the idea of ​​causing damage to our army.

Our army is all cavalry and does not carry catapults. If the Qin man installed several catapults on the ship and fired stones at our army, it would cause losses to our army, and our army could not fight back at all. Although this loss would not change the situation of the battle, it would make the Qin general feel better and easier to explain to the soldiers.

This is all that comes to mind from my subordinates.” Baisher said at last.

"I thought more comprehensively." Houmeide said, looking at the person who had just quarreled with Baisher. "Faduni, you should have noticed that the road Qin Najun was not the way he came, and he thought about it. Tell me what you think."

"Yes." Faduni agreed immediately, but there was no further explanation. Although he noticed that the road was different, he had no idea of ​​continuing to think. He led his soldiers forward with the intention of "General Houmede ordered me to do whatever he ordered me to do". He just quarreled deliberately because he had never had a good relationship with Baisher, and he was not prepared at all.

After hearing Houmede's words, Faduin quickly turned his mind to think about the possible intentions of General Anxi, but under Houmede's gaze, he was very nervous and could not think of anything. Moreover, as the general's eyes became more and more unkind, his head even became blank.

Seeing Farduin's appearance, Houmede would scold him loudly. He was under a lot of pressure these days and had long wanted to curse people. Today, he finally had a legitimate opportunity, so he naturally had to scold him.

But he was about to open his mouth when he suddenly saw someone standing beside Faduni, and he leaned into his ear and said a few words softly. The expression on Faduni's face suddenly became excited and said to Houmede:

"General, there is a hill twenty miles east of the place where our army camped. This hill is not large in area, not high in height, and is very low, so it is not officially named, and the locals call it the Bayram Hill.

The Bairam Hill is also north of the Karakum River, but it is still a distance from the middle of this river. The Qin army may ambush soldiers in the hills and attack when our army passes by. Our army is all cavalry, and it is difficult to move into the hills and fight back.

Of course, this kind of attack is like launching stones at our army from a ship. It will not cause much damage to our army, and it can save the lost face of escaping."

After hearing this, Houmede glanced at Faten, and then looked at the person who had just spoken to him. He didn't say anything, but asked the other generals what they thought. Faten breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and turned his head to thank the person who reminded him just now. However, he turned his head and was stunned for a moment before expressing his gratitude.

Houmeide talked with the generals for a while. Because the nearby terrain was very simple, they had basically confirmed that the Anxi army was going to retreat, so others did not say other points worth paying attention to. Everyone thought that the Anxi army would launch an attack on their own troops from hills or rivers.

"Since everyone believes that the Qin army can only cause losses to our army in these two ways, the troops close to the Karakum River will be careful of Qin army ships that may appear at any time when marching tomorrow, and the troops close to the hills will be careful of arrows and spears shot out of the hills." Houmeide said at last.

"Yes." Everyone agreed, and when he saw that he had no other instructions, they turned around and left.

But after most of the people left, Hou Meide suddenly grabbed someone and said to him: "He Pu, you didn't say anything just now, what are you thinking?"
