Chapter 102 Enemy Attack
The soldier didn’t quite understand what this meant. According to his understanding, the prince knew in advance that the Tartars were going to enter the pass, so he should have deployed troops at the pass to stop the Tartars.
Why does it sound like they are letting the Tartars into the city, and then they will flee? Doesn't the prince know how cruel the Tartars are? A thousand Tartar cavalrymen can destroy a state city.
If this scout was from the Yanzhou Army, he would probably ask directly, but he is from the Black Feather Camp.
After years of training, the soldiers of the Black Feather Camp have developed a good habit, that is, they always follow the prince's instructions and never ask any more questions! They immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"
He rode away again, taking a small path so he wouldn't run into the Tartars.
Jinsui sent Captain Huang of the scout team to the high mountains in the east to monitor the movements of the Tatars from a place with a wide view. As soon as all the Tatars entered the pass, he would immediately light torches as a signal.
Captain Huang said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, although my night vision is better than other brothers, I am still looking down the mountain from the top at night. I really can't see clearly!"
Jin Sui took out the space's 'secret weapon', which was a night vision telescope.
After only teaching him how to use it, Captain Huang was overjoyed and said, "Having this is like having divine help! Your Majesty, could this be, could this be..."
Jin Sui wanted to hear what name he could come up with for the telescope, but he ended up saying, "Could it be the clairvoyance used by the gods?"
Jin Sui almost fell off the horse and waved his hands weakly:
"This is the palace's hidden treasure, just like the mirror I sold to Jin Zilin and the lantern that Yan Shiyi sold."
"There is no such thing as a telescope in this world! This thing is called a telescope, remember! It will be much more convenient for you scouts to have this thing. As long as you complete this mission well, I will give it to you."
Captain Huang was very excited. There was no such thing as a god's clairvoyance in this world, but from now on, he, Huang, would have the clairvoyance given by the prince!
For the Tartars on fast horses, thirty miles means they can reach your doorstep in the blink of an eye.
Less than half an hour passed from receiving the message to deploying the troops, when a spot of fire appeared in Jinsui's telescope.
That was the news conveyed by Captain Huang. The Tartars had entered the pass! Jin Sui hurriedly blew the first signal, and the soldiers immediately took action. The fire of the stove was increased, and the aroma of the food drifted further.
The gongs and drums sounded louder, Qing Feng sang louder, and women like Chen Yunniang not only had to dance, but also had to laugh out loud like silver bells.
In short, we must let the Tartar scouts find out that this camp is completely unprepared and is having a grand banquet with fine wine, delicious food, and beautiful women.
The Tatars are not stupid either. They have fought with the Han people for so many years and know that the Han people have many strategies.
When they wanted to get something for free, they would send scouts to explore the way first. However, they had been to Yanzhou City before, and when they came here a few years ago, this place seemed to be a dilapidated camp.
When they saw the troops from the northern border, the soldiers fled in panic like chicks seeing an eagle.
The camp seemed to have expanded a lot. Was it a wedding banquet? The scouts were mainly to scout the number of people. When they found that there were not many people in the city, the soldiers were all drunk.
Smelling the aroma of food, they all felt hungry.
After riding at full speed for so many days in a row, eating only dry food on horseback, the meat cooked by the Han people is so delicious!
When the Tartar scouts saw the group of dancing beauties again, their eyes sparkled green. Every year when they were collecting money from the Han people, their favorite thing was to rob Han women.
Han women have fair skin and soft bodies, and are much more attractive than women from northern Xinjiang.
They are not good at dealing with illnesses or giving birth, and often die after giving birth to a child.
When I heard that they were celebrating the harvest and there were piles of food and fodder next to them.
He immediately reported to his superiors that there was nothing unusual in the camp and not many troops were stationed there.
Someone thought: "This place seems to be the military camp of the Yanzhou Tuntian Army. They are celebrating the autumn harvest!"
The general was immediately delighted and said, "God help me. This time we don't have to hunt for Han villages like catching wild sheep. As long as we capture this small town, our tribe will have enough food and grass for the long winter!"
The Tartar soldiers were all delighted. This year's Autumn Wind War was going so smoothly! You know, last year they had to rob more than 20 towns to get enough food and women.
This year I didn't go to those poor towns to rob, but came directly to Yanzhou City. It turned out to be the right decision.
When a thousand Tartars rushed into the north gate, the soldiers guarding the city blew the horn and screamed in fear: "The Tartars are coming! The Tartars are coming!"
The screams of the Han people greatly pleased the Tatar soldiers. This was the sound they liked to hear the most, especially the screams of the Han women, which were as charming as little lambs.
The first group of Tatars who rushed into the city went straight to the dancing women, but for some reason, the women screamed in panic.
But the escape route was not in a hurry. I watched them turn a few corners and disappear into the night.
The Tartar soldiers were not angry. This town was so small, how far could they run with their small feet? They just had to grab the food and grass first, and then chase them.
Originally, half of the Tartars were still outside the city, but they heard people in the city shouting, "There's a lot of food, come in and get some!"
This was the truth. Jinsui knew that he could not deceive them with wheat, oranges and straw, so he took out one third of the grain he had extorted from Yanzhou City and piled it up in several piles.
She even piled a few packets of sea salt in it to make it more attractive. If there weren't so little sugar and tea, she would have added those two things as well.
These not only serve as escape route markers for our own people, but also as targets to attract the Tatars.
Sure enough, when the Tatars left behind discovered that the Han soldiers in this small town were still the same as before, they only knew how to run away and had no intention of fighting them at all.
Faced with the piles of food, the Tartars even overlooked why the lights in the houses in the city were on, but no one escaped.
Until the Tartars left only a few dozen people outside the city to support, and the rest of the people all entered the city.
Captain Huang's signal on the distant mountain changed again, and two torches lit up, indicating that all the Tatars could enter the city.
As for the remaining dozens of people, they were within the prince's expectations. Anyone who had led troops knew that a small team must be left behind to provide support.
If these dozens of people were not dead, they would be left for Han Xing to kill.
It doesn't matter if they really want to escape, but there must be someone to report it! We must let Beijiang know who killed their people! At this time, the third fire moment ignited, which meant that their own people in the city had escaped.
Wei Zhubo and Chen Yunniang are safe!
Jin Sui made a prompt decision, put down the telescope in his hand, waved his hand, and gave an order: "Get ready!"
Suddenly, a group of soldiers with bows and arrows appeared outside the city wall, which was originally empty, and each of them was drawing a flaming bow.
Because the city wall was incomplete, the Tatar soldiers in the city soon discovered it, but they were not afraid at all and even laughed at it.
The Han people were cowardly. How could they hit the target from such a distance? They did not dare to fight with them with swords and guns, but only hid in the dark.
At this time, the young general on horseback gave the order: "Shoot!"
