As the sky gradually darkened, Long Xiao quietly left the camp with his three thousand cavalry and escorted one hundred gunpowder battalion soldiers...
Heading all the way towards the Yinshan Mountains, although it is night now, fortunately the moon is very big tonight.
This time their mission was to break into the Huns' encirclement, which was like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Even though they are all armed to the teeth, it would be false to say they are not nervous at this time. Even Long Xiao feels a little inexplicable fear in his heart.
On the contrary, this guy Yuan Bin looks very green. Each of the elite soldiers of the Hundred Gunpowder Battalion is carrying a backpack on his back. He does not look like he is here to fight, but rather like he is coming and going. business travel.
"I said, what are you carrying in your backpacks? Aren't we going to the battlefield? You are carrying so many bottles and cans, how can we fight this battle soon?"
After walking a long way, Long Xiao finally couldn't help his curiosity, frowned and looked at Yuan Bin and asked.
"Captain Long, I know you are a good person. I really can't talk about this matter, and don't ask. If I make it clear to you, I'm afraid you will have to stay in the military camp like us from now on... …”
Yuan Bin smiled bitterly, and then directly rejected Long Xiao's question.
"If you don't tell me, why don't you tell me? Why do you say that you have some and not all these things? Who in the whole army doesn't know that with regard to your treatment, it's best that the food and drinks you use every day are not of the highest quality?"
Long Xiao glanced at him enviously and then said.
"Don't worry, General Long. Since we came out together this time, you will definitely have the opportunity to see the power of these things we carry on our backs. It's just that you still have to cover your ears sometimes, so don't break your ears!" "
Yuan Bin is still young after all, and he doesn't pay much attention to his words.
After being robbed by him like this, no matter how good-tempered Long Xiao was, he still felt a little depressed at this time.
The team advanced silently. The distance of one hundred and fifty miles was neither long nor short.
It wasn't until midnight that they barely approached the dark mountains of the Yinshan Mountains, which looked particularly gloomy at this time.
After all, this is still the remnant of the Yinshan Mountains. Although the terrain is not easy to walk, it is not impossible to ride a horse.
But the Huns were getting closer and closer, and even Long Xiao felt a little nervous.
"Lord Captain, we found the Huns camp five miles ahead!"
As they walked, the scouts sent out by Long Xiao quietly came back to report.
"How many are there? Have they discovered us?"
Long Xiao was trembling all over, and then asked quickly.
"We haven't been discovered yet, but there are so many of them. They seem boundless. There must be at least tens of thousands of them!"
"The team will stay here to rest for a while. Everyone should be careful not to make any noise!"
Long Xiao hesitated for a moment. At this time, wealth is in danger. If he wants to take the risk and rush over, he must see with his own eyes what the Huns' camp looks like.
When the Huns camped in the wild, they almost never sent out any scouts.
On the one hand, it is because of their nomadic habits. Even when they are on an expedition, most of the time they camp in groups according to their respective tribes.
On the other hand, since the founding of the Han Dynasty, until now, there has never been a direct confrontation with the Huns on the grasslands.
When they entered the territory of the Han Dynasty, of course they would send out scouts and secret sentries, but now they were still on the grassland after all.
Even though they knew that the Han army was hundreds of miles away, they still ignored the Han army.
Especially after Yu Dan took over the camp, the 50,000 people he brought were all drawn from small tribes.
Those soldiers who came from the real big tribes often participated in confrontational wars, and their military quality was obviously much better.
But it's different for these people from small backgrounds. When there's no war, most of them are herder slaves.
I have long been accustomed to a life of sunrise and sunset. At night, I still thought that it would be better to ask them to go out and stand guard one by one.
Yu Dan had a good idea and released the soldiers on night watch, and then the remaining people took the time to rest.
Tomorrow morning, we will find Wang Chong and start a decisive battle with them.
It was a good plan to directly use the human sea tactic to completely eliminate these Han people, but he really overestimated the tactical quality of the soldiers under his command.
The secret sentries he sent out went to the mountains to find a grass nest and burrowed directly into it.
As soon as his head was filled with fog, he immediately began to dream about the Spring and Autumn Period, so much so that the Han army's scouts had already touched the edge of the Huns' company camp, but they didn't find anything at all.
Long Xiao followed a few scouts and carefully arrived at a high hill. Looking down through the bright moonlight in the sky, there were dots of firelight all over the mountains and fields, stretching for dozens of miles away.
Even Long Xiao felt his scalp numb for a while. If so many Huns really alerted them, I am afraid that the few people under his command would not be enough to fill their teeth.
"Master Captain, what should we do?"
A scout looked at Long Xiao carefully and asked.
"Come closer and be careful!"
Long Xiao gritted his teeth. He still couldn't see clearly here. If he wanted to know the situation of the Huns, he had to get closer.
"But further forward is the Huns' company camp. If we alert them, I'm afraid we will die without a burial place..."
Several scouts around him said softly.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cub! Be careful, and there won't be any problem!"
Long Xiao gritted his teeth. At this time, there was no way to retreat. Originally, they were going to rush into the tiger's mouth. What did this danger mean now?
The few scouts around Long Xiao are all considered to be bold, but when compared with Long Xiao at this time, they are really not on the same level.
Since he was not there at that time, he quickly followed Long Xiao and cautiously moved toward the Huns' camp.
It wasn't until he was five hundred steps away that Long Xiao finally had a clear view.
The Huns' joint camp stretched for dozens of miles, but there was an open space of less than a mile in the middle of each camp.
It was already midnight, and in the Huns' camp, there were almost only dots of firelight, and the remaining people had fallen asleep in their tents.
A crazy idea suddenly appeared in Long Xiao's heart...
