It was attacked again, and the Hou Jin army suffered nearly forty casualties, and more than four hundred young and middle-aged Han people were lost.
Huang Yi somewhat overestimated the mobility of the Hou Jin Army.
Thinking that they would hit the road immediately after stopping the chaos, they sent Huang Daquan and Liu Chuanzong to follow and monitor them.
Unexpectedly, the Hou Jin army did not move into its nest, but was thinking of ways to deal with the Han people who might riot at any time.
These barbarians are simple-minded and of course they can't think of any good solution. They just tie them up with ropes.
It is impossible to tie up five flowers in a big way, but every thirty young and middle-aged Han people are tied into a bunch.
Instead of tying both hands, one arm was tied.
The purpose is to prevent a young man from suddenly throwing down the grain bag on his shoulder and running into the woods after he is on the road.
The loss of more than twenty coat servants and flag men was nothing, but the loss of forty-five Jurchens was a huge sin.
Kamuge and Choctaw were both furious.
In addition, more than a hundred young Han men were killed, and a total of nearly six hundred escaped. Neither of them knew how to deal with each other after returning.
There are less than 1,300 young Han men left in the camp, and only about 1,600 including Han women.
Fortunately, there was basically no loss of property, livestock, or food.
After finally stabilizing the situation, it was already past noon. Kamuge and Chuoktuo discussed it and decided not to leave today at all, but to rest on the spot and leave at the fourth watch tomorrow.
Those damned Guan Ning troops will definitely come to harass us again!
Kamuge and Chuoktuo had already inspected the outposts that were sniped by Huang Yi.
They came to the conclusion that the Guan Ning army that came here to entangle was just a master of crossbow shooting.
This master is extremely powerful and has a very good eyesight. He can quietly approach the sentry under the cover of night and kill him silently with a powerful crossbow.
How to guard against it?
Kamuge and Chuoktuo, the two white-armored soldiers, thought about it and came up with a countermeasure.
The countermeasures discussed by the two barbarians were actually very simple.
Send at least two people to the open and hidden posts. The crossbow master will be discovered after he shoots at most one sentry.
The question is, what can we do if we find out?
At this moment, Kamuge and Chuoktuo, who had continuously lost men and horses, had given up and would not lead their troops out of camp at night to pursue them.
They originally wanted to cut down some trees to surround the camp, but the workload was too heavy and could not be completed with the remaining dozens of coated slaves and flag men.
Why not send more than a thousand young Han people to cut down trees?
Of course Kamuge and Chokoto thought about it, but they didn't dare.
They must be given axes to cut down trees. Those Han people dared to rebel with their bare hands, but how could they do it with axes in their hands?
It's not that the armored soldiers couldn't deal with the Han people holding axes, but that they would rush out suddenly and swing their axes to chop them, so they would definitely be hard to guard against.
The armored men's losses were already great and they could not afford to lose more.
In the final analysis, their troops are not enough. If there are another hundred armored soldiers, why should they fear that the young and middle-aged Han people will be disobedient!
As night fell, all the bonfires and lights in the Houjin Army camp were extinguished, and Kamuge and Choctaw rested in a large tent in the middle of the camp.
There are still twenty armored soldiers waiting here!
No fire was allowed in the entire camp, except for the large cowhide tent with a fire burning.
Of course, the fire only illuminated the inside of the tent, and the light did not penetrate to the outside.
The twenty armored soldiers in this big tent are definitely the backbone of this team, and they are also the only capital left by Kamuge and Chokoto.
The purpose of gathering them together is not only to prevent being sniped by the Ming army who is good at shooting crossbows, but also has another purpose that has not been announced yet.
At the second watch, Huang Yi's men, including all the Han people who had just taken refuge, were in high spirits.
Huang Yi has told everything about tonight's plan, and no one has any different opinions.
Not only the soldiers brought by Huang Yi are full of fighting spirit, but also the new young adults Liu Han, Chang Yongshan, Kang Jing and so on can't wait.
Because they all have relatives, friends, neighbors, and even brothers and sisters who are in the team under the custody of the Jin Army.
It was necessary to eat a hearty meal before the war. Not only horsemeat and pancakes, but also all the cured meats.
This battle must be won! No need to save.
Because if you win, you will definitely be able to seize too much grain, cured meat, and ham...
At midnight, Huang Yi's men and horses all arrived in the woods not far from Hou Jinjun's camp.
This was the battlefield of the Jin Army after the ambush at midnight yesterday.
It is known that the Hou Jin army will not receive reinforcements in a short period of time, and it is known that the number of their remaining armored soldiers will not exceed 70, so there is no need to worry about exposing the target.
Anyway, the Hou Jin Army must have known that Huang Yi's men had been peeping nearby, and had been on guard against being raided again.
This is no longer a conspiracy, but a complete conspiracy.
The Hou Jin army knew that they would be attacked again and waited on guard.
Huang Yi, Geng Zhanghua, Liu Chuanzong and dozens of others also knew that the barriers to building slaves tonight must be tight.
But it doesn't matter to everyone.
Darkness is the best cover.
Geng Zhanghua already knew that Huang Yi had an artifact that could provide night vision.
I also know that there is probably no other artifact like this in the world. It was brought back by Huang Yi from the Franji Kingdom thousands of miles away.
This kind of artifact is unique in Franji Country. It was accidentally obtained by the most skilled craftsmen. If it is made again, it can produce the effect of seeing far away, but it cannot achieve night vision.
Of course, this is all Huang Yi's explanation. Three people become tigers. Now this statement has become the truth.
The Chinese believe this serendipitous rhetoric.
Because the legendary famous swords "Gan Jiang and Mo Xie" were obtained accidentally, it is impossible to copy the famous swords using the same raw materials and the same making method.
Huang Yi left some room for bragging.
Because historically, probably in the early years of Chongzhen, a European missionary presented an astronomical telescope to Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, telescopes are indeed rare, but not impossible, and Huang Yi's night vision telescope is unique.
Therefore, Huang Yi's explanation was that he got it by chance. The reason why he rushed back to the Central Plains was because he was worried that the artifact he got by chance would be coveted by the Western Yi.
Geng Zhanghua has been following Huang Yi, and of course Huang Yi has lent him the telescope several times.
Although he was shocked, he remained calm because he had heard of such a thing as a telescope, and knew that a telescope could see things several miles away as if they were very close at hand.
Later, the Jin army put on a defensive posture. In order to prevent being shot by the cunning and vicious steel crossbow, bunkers were used at both the open and hidden sentries.
Instead of digging holes on the spot to make shelters, large and small circles were built using grain bags, oxcarts or horse-drawn carriages.
Anyway, the camp of the Hou Jin Army was pitch dark, and all the sentinels were hiding behind bunkers to peer around.
Not long after, a patrol with seven or eight torches would appear, each holding an iron shield or a cowhide shield and walking cautiously.
