Thank you for your appreciation of "calligraphy and painting shortage"!

Fang Xing was very tired, but he didn't dare to slack off. As soon as he set up camp, he took people to check the camp.
"Uncle, the only thing to worry about when the army is stationed here is the grain road. In addition, unless the country of Halle comes with a large army, we should cross this grassland."
"The size of the enemy's scouts should be about 1000. If we calculate according to this, the enemy should be around 20000. However, the lower officer thought that they might come to spy on Daming's small group of enemy troops and put all their eggs in one basket and sent these people to inquire about our army."
"Uncle, there is another yilibaoli that deserves attention. This place has never been a stable place in the Central Plains. If they want to take advantage with the Hari people, we will be attacked on several sides."
Lin Qun'an and Chen de were constantly analyzing the situation at this time. Fang woke up and nodded slightly: "Yili has been divided for many times. Unless Daming fails, they will not dare to get involved. Well... Of course, there is another possibility, that is, ha lie and vara jointly provide some benefits to lure them to send troops."
After patrolling all the way, Fang woke up and went back to his tent. He was so tired that he didn't want to remove his armor.
"Master."
When Xin Laoqi came in, Fang woke up with a bitter smile, stretched out his arms and asked him to help him disarm.
Fang Wu also came and reported, "Sir, the enemy is in the northwest. Can you go to the sentry tonight?"
"No need."
Fang Xing took off his armor and felt relaxed. He moved his body and said, "if the enemy is tens of thousands, it will inevitably approach the sentry, rather than sending multiple teams of scouts to test in turn. This is the caution of the enemy general. I judge that they will approach the camp sentry at night. Be more alert at night."
Fang Wu answered and went out with Xin Laoqi.
As the sun set, the camp was like a giant beast, standing on the grassland with smoke everywhere.
Fang Wu and Xin Laoqi had a casual dinner, and then went to work respectively.
But Fang woke up and fell asleep.
It's wonderful and lonely to sleep when others are busy and wake up when others sleep.
Fang Xing stood behind the fence at the edge of the camp, eating slowly with a piece of oil cake in his hand.
It was dark in the distance, but Fang Xing believed that in the darkness, the enemy scouts were slowly approaching.
……
After the army sets up camp, the Rangers will set out to spy around immediately, and the open and secret outposts will immediately arrange a place.
Grassland is a natural hiding area, which facilitates the secret sentry and the latent approach of enemy scouts.
There are many mosquitoes here, but they can't find enough food, so once they find prey, they will launch crazy attacks.
There are two people lurking in the grass at the moment. Under the attack of mosquitoes, they are motionless and integrated with the grass.
The sound of insects kept going, making people sleepy.
I don't know how long it took, the sound of insects suddenly stopped
No matter how skillful you are, no matter how fierce the scouts are, as long as you move in the grass, you will certainly disturb mosquitoes and make a sound.
The rustling sound gradually became clearer and clearer. They didn't move and even narrowed their eyes for fear that the reflected dim light would be found by the enemy.
A head suddenly lifted up in the grass and searched everywhere. After he didn't find it, he was ready to hide again
His head was only half hidden in the grass. A dark shadow suddenly jumped up and hit the man heavily.
There was a struggle in the grass until after a click, everything returned to silence.
After killing his opponent, the bright and dark sentry dared not move.
There are killing machines everywhere in the dark. I don't know how many enemy scouts there are on this grassland. The exposed scouts were unable to call for support.
Because a shout is bound to be a chaos, breaking the scheduled plan, and the camp will be disturbed if it is not well done.
The most taboo of the army camping is to be disturbed, so it will give birth to harassment and other tactics, which is to make their opponents tired and weaken their combat effectiveness.
The mosquitoes seem to have been driven away by the murderous spirit, quietly.
Both sides are waiting, waiting for the other party to act first, and the exposed scout has become the target of public criticism.
This short encounter between scouts was all in Fang Xing's eyes. He put down his telescope and looked back at the thousands of generals who had gathered. He said faintly: "the enemy scouts are very bold. This is killing patience. If the camp moves, they can judge the origin of our army according to their weapons. Death squads!"
Chen de said, "uncle, why don't you send out a team of cavalry and sweep it directly!"
Lin Qun'an frowned and said, "all departments will be disturbed. It's not good."
Wang he said with a smile, "they rely on bows and arrows, but we have bows and arrows! We directly sent scouts to serve them with bows and arrows. When they got up and manipulated the bows and arrows, they would have been shot into beehives."
Fang Xing said approvingly, "yes, Benbo also means that. Let's send out all the scouts and fight with torches. Let's fight rabbits!"
You don't have to shoot with guns, so there's little movement.
"Immediately send orders to every hundred officers in the army to watch their subordinates. If anyone is disturbed, don't make a sound."
"A thousand cavalry men are on standby! Twenty artillery are on standby, and a thousand households are on standby at Jubaoshan guard."
After a series of orders were issued, there was some movement in the camp, but with deliberate preparation, the sleeping soldiers were not disturbed.
The door of the camp was opened and torches were lit. A team of scouts walked out of the camp with bows and crossbows under the cover of sword and shield soldiers.
The balance was broken. Dozens of dark figures suddenly stood up in the dark. They were preparing to bow and take arrows. A low cry came from the grass: "crossbow and arrow!"
Without getting up and risking being shot by arrows, dozens of crossbows and arrows rushed out of the grass and rushed to their targets one by one.
In the miserable howl, the sparse arrows also shot back, but only wounded a Ming army secret sentry.
Since the balance is broken, the scouts don't have to be taboo, so their steps begin to accelerate and gradually become a trot.
The light from the torch pushed forward gradually, and gradually those dark shadows appeared, all of them were the Scouts of the warra people.
“******”
In the night wind, someone gave a sharp drink, and immediately those warlahs turned and ran wildly.
"Put..."
The scouts who came refused to let go of such opportunities. A crossbow attack left half of the other party, and the rest soon disappeared into the night.
"Uncle, do you want to pursue?"
Sun Yue was a little eager to try. The 1000 cavalry were ready. They could rush out at the command and hunt down the enemy's scouts.
Fang Xing put down his telescope and said, "the other party should have cavalry to meet him. Fighting at night is unfavorable to our army. Besides, they don't see our firearms. Take them back!"
Sun Yue sighed with regret and then dismissed the cavalry.
But the artillery was not used. Fang woke up and ordered to keep a group of gunners on duty and spare shotguns.
A group of secret sentinels with bags all over their faces came back with a wounded man. Fang woke up and saw that it was an arrow in his shoulder. He frowned and said, "why is the veil given to you useless?"
A small flag officer with a full face said with a smile: "uncle, the yarn is thin. Take it home... Hey hey!"
Fang Xing gnashed his teeth and said, "Lin Qun'an, Chen de."
"Uncle, I'm guilty."
They quickly pleaded guilty. Fang Xing explained that the secret whistle must be covered with gauze, which is out of health considerations.
But these sergeants didn't like the yarn sent to them. Most of them were ready to stay and send it back to the women at home.
"What's your name?"
Fang Xing feels that this small flag officer is really wonderful.
The guy with a full face smiled and said, "uncle, little Jiang Xing."
