Chapter 164 The teaching of the scouts

When Chen Guang woke up, it was already dawn. Looking at the distance of the horizon, the red sun slowly rose. He stretched his body and camped in the wild. There was nothing special about it. He slept on the ground as soon as the blanket was spread.

"Langjun."

"You follow Chen Huochang and don't do whatever you want, otherwise you will definitely chase him back."

Looking at the selected Kucha good family, Chen Guang ordered them, fearing that they would be in trouble when they saw the Turks in a hurry to make contributions.

Several Kucha family members quickly responded and sweared that they would definitely obey orders. For them, the time they followed Chen Guang undoubtedly opened their eyes and learned a lot. They were like frogs jumping out of the pond. After seeing the vastness of the world, they were still willing to go back to their past days.

"Chen Huochang, please."

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, we must bring these kids back alive."

Chen Huochang replied, and then led his three scouts and the five Kucha Liang families out of the camp. They all brought two horses, and they didn't have complete armor on their bodies. They just wore breastplates and covered them with yellow leather robes. From a distance, they looked like ordinary herders grazing.

Chen Guang felt relieved when he saw this. The scouts in the army have always been the most dangerous. Among the first batch of veterans Chen Mohe recruited for him, more than half were the scouts in the Anxi army. They were all experienced murderers, proficient in disguise, and knew several foreign languages. Chen Huochang seemed to be the best among them.

"Langjun, are we just waiting?"

Wang Shenyuan looked at Chen Huochang and took the people away and couldn't help asking.

"Do you want to take you on and cause trouble for those Turkic thieves?"

"No, no."

"Calculate the time, those Turks should be around today. Let's find a chance to play a few games before withdrawing."

Chen Guang patted Wang Shenyuan's shoulder and said, "I won't take everyone's life."

When everyone around him heard Chen Guang's words, they couldn't help feeling warm, especially those fang soldiers and veterans, who had been in the army for a long time. Of course, they knew that most generals would not be stingy with the lives of the lower-class soldiers. Even if they were treated with each other well, as long as they encountered military merits that made them tempted, their soldiers were just a number.

...

Under the sun, Bai Qilang was covered in sweat. Since he left the camp in the morning, they followed Chen Huochang and walked eastward on horseback. They also rested several times along the way, but they didn't even see a hair from the Turkic barbarians.

After searching for a low hill to rest, Chen Huochang came down from his horse and looked at the few Kucha clans who had no sound along the way, and laughed.

"Since Mr. Chen has handed you over to us, we can't help but teach you some real skills! Do you know what the scouts in the army do?"

"Of course, the eyes and ears of the army. But no matter what happens to the enemy, we can't hide it."

Seeing that someone from the curly-haired Kucha boys answered immediately, Chen Huochang couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He thought that these curly-haired boys didn't know anything, but he didn't expect that they could understand it very well, so he coughed, "Who told you this?"

"Zhang Yeye taught us, but Zhang Yeye couldn't understand the truth, it was said by the husband."

"What Mr. Lang said is of course very reasonable. Since you know that since we are the eyes and ears of the army, the most important thing is to recognize the way."

Chen Huochang immediately answered the words and asked back, "I'll ask you, we've left the camp and rested a few times in the middle. What kind of place are they? Do you still remember the way back?"

After being asked this, all five of Bai Qilang were stopped, and then the five began to rack their brains to recall and then answered.

"There should be six places to rest...there is a pool next to the first place..."

"We changed direction three times between us, and we only walked ten miles in the third place and rested twice."

Listening to the curly hairy answers, Chen Huochang didn't expect that these curly hairy men were really talented as scouts. This kind of memory and sense of direction alone was not something that anyone could have. The veteran scouts like him in Yiwu's army had only one palm. As for the soldiers under their command, they were just responsible for fighting. It was up to them to identify the direction and track the enemy.

As expected, Mr. Chen didn’t joke with me. These curly hairs are really suitable for being scouts!

Chen Huochang thought so in his heart, and at this time Bai Qilang and his friends had already restored the route they had come out in the morning, so he spoke, "It seems that I underestimated you, so I will ask you again why I chose those places to rest."

"In those places, there are either many grass or hills that can be covered, so it is naturally suitable for ambushing."

Bai Qilang was straightforward and said it directly that he was the first child of Kucha to be recruited by Chen Guang. He had the best eyesight and was good at archery. He was trained by the veterans, and he also took great care to remember everything the veterans had taught.

"Yes, you all know everything. I'll tell you something..."

Chen Huochang finally couldn't help but curse, and said, "These curly hairs are really hateful, but he didn't blame Chen Guang. After all, Chen Langjun was busy with his job, so he didn't know so much."

"Chen Huo Chang's words are so bad. The husband often said that the knowledge on paper is always shallow. Although we heard Zhang Yeye and the others say the truth, we don't know how to ambush in those places..."

Hearing the curly hairy man named Bai Qilang talked like this, Chen Huochang felt better. Then he naturally told the geographical conditions of the six places one by one, and only heard Bai Qilang and the others were stunned, because they could only vaguely remember the approximate areas of those places, not as clearly as Chen Huochang remembered.

"You don't think you're lying to you. These six places in the morning are really what we encountered on the road."

At this time, Bai Qilang and the others realized that Chen Huochang had some real skills. No wonder the husband asked them to follow Chen Huochang very well.

"Don't talk."

Chen Huochang suddenly frowned, then shouted softly, then he got up from the resting stone and climbed up the low mound. He saw the horse team about a little outside.

"It looks like we're lucky!"

While talking to himself, Chen Huochang asked Bai Qilang and the others to get on the low hill where he was lying down, "This group of Turkic barbarians has about thirty horses, and it's just right to give us a profit market."

After walking around in the morning, Bai Qilang knew that they were actually only about twenty miles away from the camp. They followed this group of Turkic barbarians and just waited until the Langjun brought his troops here.

"You can send someone back to report to your husband."

Following Chen Huochang's order, Bai Qilang finally rode away angrily. Who told him to be the one who remembered the most clearly among the people? After he left, Chen Huochang was still leading the remaining people carelessly and began to stare at the group of Turkic light cavalry from afar.
