While setting up camp, Lei Ying and Lei Zhan inspected the camp.
Not only did they leave behind both visible and hidden sentries, but they also set up many traps around the area.
Prevent enemy sneak attacks at night.
This kind of thing has already been mastered during training.
Especially when fighting in the wild, it is easy to be attacked by surprise when resting at night.
These traps become extremely important.
Not only are there cavalry specifically designed to deal with the enemy, there are also infantry specifically designed to deal with the enemy, and there are also special equipment for early warning.
No one is allowed to take off their armor when sleeping at night, and weapons must be kept by their side so they can be used in battle at any time.
According to the method arranged by Ye, it is almost impossible to be attacked by surprise.
After inspecting the place, the two returned to their tents and began to discuss their next plan.
"There is a small city ahead, with probably tens of thousands of people. We will attack it tomorrow and capture the city.
Use this city as a base and clear out all the people around it.
Princess Ruyue doesn't want us to attack too deep, as it will seriously affect our supply.
All we need to do is get the majority of the Lingshuang army to defend quickly, and we'll be done."
Lei Ying said analytically.
The scouts had already surveyed the surrounding terrain in the shortest possible time and drawn up an extremely detailed map.
How many people live here, what the terrain is like, where the food and water sources are, all of these are clearly known.
Although Lei Ying was in charge of intelligence, most of these methods were taught to him by Ye.
Using the concept of modern warfare, we should gather information before going into battle. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in battle.
Lei Ying mastered the matter very thoroughly and did exactly what Ye said.
Lei Zhan was somewhat dissatisfied: "Since the main force of the enemy army is outside, why not send a cavalry to attack their capital.
If all goes well, we might be able to catch them off guard and capture their capital in one fell swoop.
The Lingshuang army must have been terrified upon hearing this news, and might even offer us their own mercy and surrender."
"Don't underestimate these barbarians; their tribes are generally very complex and their conflicts are fierce.
If things go wrong, it may lead to internal strife, or at worst it may make them fight to the death.
Before rescuing His Highness, you must not act rashly.
You must strictly follow the princess's instructions.
If we make a rash decision, it might harm His Highness." Lei Ying said with a very serious expression.
My younger brother is good at fighting, but he tends to act impulsively.
Trying to persuade him well may not be effective.
But as long as Ye is brought up, Lei Zhan will never dare to act on his own.
Sure enough, after hearing what Lei Ying said, Lei Zhan quickly said, "I will always listen to Big Brother and will never act on my own.
Your Highness's safety is the most important thing."
Lei Ying nodded in satisfaction and continued to persuade: "Don't worry, wait for His Highness to come and we will take revenge one by one.
There are plenty of opportunities to fight.
And with this experience of becoming a successful person.
The enemy's cavalry no longer poses much of a threat to us.
Then you can lead your infantry to kill everyone.
This was the first time in history that infantry had such great mobility.
It is almost no weaker than any cavalry.
Especially when dealing with barbarian tribes, they have a great advantage.
If we can catch them, we will slaughter them all. Even if a large number of their cattle and sheep escape, they will fall into our hands.
It can bring us a large number of livestock."
The more Lei Zhan listened, the brighter his eyes became. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will never let you down, big brother.
When the war breaks out, we will seize all the livestock from the enemy country and see if they still dare to be so arrogant.
If they continue to be enemies with Dayuan, they will all starve to death.
The only option open to them is to surrender to us."
After hearing this, a strong chill flashed in Lei Ying's eyes: "Your Highness's words are the most reasonable. Those who are not of my race must have different hearts.
What's the point of keeping these guys? Kill them all to prevent future troubles.
There is also Yunlu Pavilion, which has repeatedly attacked us secretly. When Your Highness inherits the throne, this hidden danger must be eliminated."
Lei Zhan agreed with him: "Brother is right."
Even at night, the two of them took turns to rest.
Their weapons are relatively high and their energy is much stronger than others.
Even if you only sleep until midnight, you can still regain a lot of energy.
Even if you fight for more than ten days in a row, you won't feel tired at all.
Leave a commander behind to deal with any emergency.
The two men also anticipated that the enemy would most likely launch a surprise attack at night.
Ambush soldiers were also specially prepared, and they were asked to prepare their weapons and join the battle at any time.
Let the soldiers take turns to rest.
Anyway, even if each team of the hundreds of thousands of troops sleeps less for an hour, they can still take turns and get enough rest.
We waited until the second half of the night and everything was normal.
The entire camp was silent.
At this time, the Lingshuang cavalry was ready to attack.
To ensure secrecy, a bit was put in the horse's mouth and its hooves were wrapped with cloth.
It doesn't make too much noise when walking.
They approached quietly first, and then launched a surprise attack as soon as they were within close distance.
At such a short distance, the Dayuan army was still asleep and had no time to defend themselves.
As long as they could charge into the camp and render the crossbows ineffective, they would win.
Although they were all very nervous, they approached slowly.
For safety reasons, he even got off the horse and walked forward quietly, leading the horse.
Everything went smoothly
They soon arrived at the raid site, which was only a few dozen meters away from the camp.
The warhorse can reach the target in the blink of an eye when running.
Looking at the fire from a distance, I found that there were not even any chevaux de frise facilities around the camp.
Their warhorses could charge in easily.
I was so surprised that I couldn't help but complain about the Dayuan army.
“The general of Dayuan is a real fool. He has no facilities to defend against sneak attacks.
It's such a shame that we were defeated by such a person."
“I heard that the Dayuan people were not very good at fighting, and they relied on the high city walls for defense and the large number of weapons they produced.
They can't even defeat the barbarians in a head-on battle, let alone us.
Furthermore, their generals have been very lax in their management, no wonder so many of them have always suffered losses in the face of the barbarians."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. The lax discipline of the Dayuan Army will only benefit us.
Order everyone to mount their horses!"
General Ling Shuang immediately gave the order.
For fear of alarming the soldiers in the camp, he spoke very quietly.
Soldiers need to pass it on one by one.
After a moment, General Ling Shuang turned over and mounted his horse, and the soldiers behind him followed suit.
The barbarian general shouted, "Attack!"
He drew his scimitar and took the lead, leading the army to charge towards the Dayuan military camp.
