"Two idiots! Where did they get the five or six thousand people to fight with you?!"
Akqin's lungs were almost bursting with anger, "Do you know why they want to lead you south?"
Do you know why you can fight all night long? Have you really been fighting? \"
The continuous questions confused the two of them, but this also made the excited two people wake up little by little.
yes! Why lead them south?
Why can it last all night when it's clearly a cavalry battle?
Oh no, the reason why we can fight all night is because the other party keeps running and occasionally turns around to seduce.
There were several face-to-face confrontations, but they soon started to attack again.
Normally, it would be hard to fly if you run and I chase you.
But the other party seemed to be a little too familiar with that terrain last night, and that area was separated from the main road they used to go south. It seemed that they took them around to an area with more hills and more woods.
For a moment, the two of them felt as if they were being played.
"Hmph! Last night, the prisoner detention camp located on the side of the base camp and the cattle and sheep pens were cleaned.
They made a sneak attack on the base camp. A cavalry force of thousands of people, combined with heavy firepower, suppressed the base camp for a full hour.
Five detention camps and twelve cattle and sheep pens were looted! What do you think we should do about this? ! "
After Akqin said this, the silence in the camp was terrifying.
This was definitely a huge loss, almost equivalent to the loss of nearly half of the gains they had made in the past month or two since they went south to plunder.
There were a total of ten prison camps and thirty cattle, sheep and horse pens.
There were a total of 20,000 female captives suitable for breeding, and 50,000 cattle, sheep, and horses.
But tonight, 10,000 prisoners and more than 20,000 cattle, sheep, and horses were lost in one fell swoop.
pain! It hurts so much that it’s hard to breathe!
These people and livestock were raided and plundered by them again and again, which cost countless people and time.
After the critical moment, the spoils were divided into half, and it would be damned if everyone didn't curse.
"If you two idiots hadn't been seduced so easily, how could something have happened to the base camp?" Akchin slapped the table hard again, making a dull sound.
"Then...then you can't blame us. There are nearly 10,000 troops stationed in the base camp, and their number is no less than ours.
When something big like this happens, isn't it the base camp's responsibility? "
The two of them murmured in their hearts, feeling that they were wronged in this matter.
After all, it was you who ordered the attack, and now it's their fault if something goes wrong.
"Are you trying to say that this is not your responsibility? Why are there so many garrison troops in the base camp but are helpless in the face of a mere thousand cavalry?"
Akchin seemed to have read through their thoughts and continued to shout,
"There are still about 20,000 prisoners and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep detained in the Chazhong area. It has been handed over to the Qiyan Department. How many people do you think they can take care of?"
As they are about to attack this regular army, Akchin has gradually transferred all of his main forces to Chabei as much as possible.
Correspondingly, the Qiyan Department is responsible for escorting and transporting the spoils of war.
It is equivalent to swapping the positions of both sides.
Last night, the total number of troops stationed in the Qiyan Department was only four thousand.
It may seem like a lot, but in fact the multiple camps where humans and livestock are held require a large number of manpower to guard them, so a large number of manpower are allocated here.
Secondly, the base camp is also a place where big shots gather. Each of these big shots needs a certain amount of protection, and among them there are more than a thousand people.
The number of people who could actually participate in the counterattack last night was no more than 2,000.
Under the dark night, you don't know if the opponent is only attacking from this direction, or if enemies also appear in other directions.
If the fixed guard force is rashly transferred and the other party just makes an attack in the east, the consequences will be disastrous.
It stands to reason that if there is a situation in the base camp, the Noyan Department must rush to the rescue. This is their duty.
It just so happened that they were attacked in all directions last night. The two idiots had been delayed for so long but they didn't notice anything unusual.
And the positional defense line finally set up in Pingqiantun cannot be abandoned.
In the end, two thousand people were sent with heavy weapons to provide support, but when they hurried over slowly, the other party had already evacuated quickly.
Several prisoner camps and a dozen livestock camps were looted.
Considering that the other party has so many people and animals, it must move slowly.
But before they could pursue them very far, they were wounded and killed by heavy firepower from the ambush soldiers who had ambushed them early. Now it was impossible to pursue them again.
——
At the same time, in Huozhongtun, compared to the gloom and gloom of the Outer Mongolians, it was as lively as ever.
A large number of women and children were busy lighting piles of bonfires, cooking mutton soup and boiling hot water.
These rescued female herder captives had not taken a bath for a long time, and many seemed to have been severely beaten.
Zhao Ming planned to give everyone a bath, just to forget the cruel memories.
"Master Zhao, this plan is a bit risky. If there is a slight mistake, it will be difficult for us to achieve such perfection."
Zhang Kai sighed with emotion on the side. He didn't sleep all night last night and followed Zhao Ming to the front line to conduct front-line command.
There are many links here, and if there is a problem in any link, a chain reaction will inevitably occur in other places, and then everything will be lost.
For example, the Baoshan Division of the Third Battalion of the Cavalry Battalion was responsible for diversion and seduction.
In addition to his own 500 troops, he also recruited 500 prisoners of war to fight with the army.
Even so, the risk is still too great.
If you fail to get rid of the opponent and are surrounded by two armies of the opponent, not only the Baoshan troops will be wiped out, but the opponent will also have time to defend in time.
In addition, if the other party does not send people to pursue, it will also force the plan to be suspended.
"This is a gamble, isn't it? The preparations I have made these days have only increased the success rate of this attack.
Once the plan fails, we can only use all our heavy firepower to let them see who is the prey. "
Zhao Ming chuckled and shook his head. Even so, the operation last night was really not just a gamble.
First of all, he sent Hai Dongqing out early for investigation.
The information reported by Haidong Qingneng was very general and it was impossible to give accurate tips.
But Zhao Ming only needs to let the other party detect which area has a large population.
According to Hai Dongqing's tips, a large number of people gathered in the direction of the Outer Mongolia base camp. According to Zhao Ming's understanding, this large number seemed to be not thousands but tens of thousands.
Because Hai Dongqing used an exaggerated expression that was obviously different from the past, showing that there were many people in this area.
How could so many people gather at the base camp?
Their troops were scattered into several groups, so where were most of the prisoners held? It can only be near the base camp.
Knowing this news, the subsequent arrangements will be much better.
As for whether the Outer Mongolian troops stationed at the old site of Pingqiantun will be lured out, this is inevitable.
He had allowed the other party to take advantage many times before. If the other party didn't even have the courage to do so, it would be impossible for the Qingyan Flag Master to be forced to stay here.
As for whether the Baoshan Division can hold the opponent back, Zhao Ming is betting a lot on this.
He didn't know that he could only ask Baoshan to select an area a few days in advance, step in and familiarize the brothers with the terrain.
And let them shout as much as possible when fighting each other at night to create the illusion of a large number of people.
Plus frequent shooting during raids.
The illusion of insufficient bullets has been created before, which will also give the other party the illusion that there are many people on the other side.
It also makes the other party wary and dare not attack Baoshan and the others easily, creating opportunities to delay time.
But fortunately, everything worked out. I seemed to have overestimated this group of Outer Mongolians.
They can really chase the enemy when they see them!
But why hasn’t Baoshan come back yet?
Cao Cao was about to arrive when he said that Cao Cao was about to arrive. At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves outside the camp. More than 600 brothers, led by Baoshan, were riding their horses.
Baoshan first settled the brothers separately, and then hurried towards Zhao Ming.
"Master Zhao!"
"Since you're injured, go ahead and bandage it. There's no rush here."
Seeing a blood hole appearing on the left side of Baoshan's chest, Zhao Ming chuckled.
"It's nothing, Mr. Zhao. My body will resist the small problem." Baoshan grinned and wanted to pat his chest, but he gave up because he felt that he might have a hemorrhage.
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then tell me what happened last night? How were the losses of the brothers?"
Zhao Ming was mainly curious about how Baoshan was able to hold him back all night.
