Chapter 455: The sneak attack of the horse thieves
The people around the fire were all warriors from this small tribe. After hearing Ashinadako's words, they all laughed. A young warrior said, "I often hear people say that the people of the Central Plains are the weakest. They have no ability, but they have a lot of good things, all of them are fat sheep. I saw them today. As expected, the rumors are true. We only need thirty stalemates, but they actually sent a whole car of things. I can't even calculate how much it is worth!"
Other warriors nodded, and they had no clear concept of the things in that big cart. After all, they barter on weekdays and do not spend money often. Thirty stakes are the scope they can understand, but if they have more, they don’t know how to settle the account.
Asanada thought for a while and said, "It's probably going to be ten times more. Those good things are worth 300 guan, especially those good wines. On our grassland, we can't buy sheep and cattle!"
In fact, although he had been with Khan, he didn't know much about the money algorithm. Otherwise, he would not have sent people to catch three students from the Imperial College. He would only offer 30 guan and promise Tan Zhengwen to redeem a ten guan per person. If he had changed to a person like Kumodara, the offer would not be worth 1,000 guan per person, he would never stop. Maybe 1,000 guan was the first to hold the student in his hand, and he was afraid that Yang Ze would not send money. That would be really Yang Ze would be brave!
The people next to the fire talked for a while, and the topic was all about the rich Central Plains army.
Finally, a warrior couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Dakhan, otherwise we would catch a few more people in the Central Plains. Those people in white robes were very easy to catch. As soon as our people came over, they would scare them to escape. As soon as they shot arrows, they would not shoot them. They would fall to the ground. There were still so many fat sheep that could be caught in this way. If we don't take the opportunity to catch a few more, then when they leave, we would have no chance to make a fortune again!"
Asanada heard it, hesitated and said, "The children who were inquiring about the news said that they had more than 10,000 people. They all had iron armor and cavalry. The people we all fell into together were not as many as theirs. If they really angered the general who led the troops, we would probably suffer losses!"
As the supreme leader, what Ashinadake and Yang Ze thought were almost exactly the same. Yang Ze knew that he would destroy this small tribe. At least thousands of soldiers would die. The loss was too great, so he didn't want to take risks, and Ashinadake was also afraid of losing his tribe. After all, he knew that if he really wanted to start, his small tribe would not be able to fight the Central Plains army no matter what. The threat of small fights would be enough. If the battle really started, it would never work.
But his warriors didn't think so. Another warrior said, "Dakhan, the grass on the riverside here has been eaten up by sheep. Anyway, we will leave here in a few days and change the pasture to grazle. It's better to leave a few days earlier, let our women and old men and children leave first, and then we sneak attack the army. It's best to get some things. If we can't grab it, it's nothing. Anyway, they can't catch up with us and cannot take revenge!"
Asanada thought for a while and said, "This one can be tried. Then let the tribes leave tomorrow morning. We should not miss this opportunity to get rich. Otherwise, in the words of the people of the Central Plains, if we really pass this village, there will be no store!"
He is rude and is not a good person at thinking. After hearing the instigation of his warriors, he felt that he should take one. Anyway, according to the rules on the grassland, whoever has a faster horse and a better knife, then he should live a good life naturally!
None of them had ever thought about what consequences would be if they really angered the army heading northeast, and they were just thinking about what benefits they could get.
But there are still some mature people in the tribe. An old man said, "But if they change the marching route and insist on fighting with us, what should we do? We have few people, but we can't beat them!"
Ashinada said ridiculously: "I am Khan's nephew. If they dare to fight with our tribe, it is to fight with the entire Sudden Aid. My uncle will not ignore us. Even if it is the prince, he will not ignore us when encountering the Central Plains attacking our Sudden Aid, and no matter what, he cannot let the Central Plains bully our Sudden Aid Aid! "
As soon as he said this, the old man shut up. As long as he has a backer, there should be no problem. If it is really not possible, as long as the name of the Khan of Chuji, as long as the target of the attack of the army is not Chuji, then the incident should not be expanded. Anyway, they are just robbing property, not killing all the soldiers and generals. As long as the Central Plains army suffers not much, they should choose to calm down. Why didn’t the Central Plains people do this often before? Swallowing their anger is their normal state, and active attack is an abnormal state.
After making plans, the warriors returned to their tents and waited for dawn tomorrow to let their troops leave first. They went to catch up with the Central Plains army, snatched it up, and made a fortune.
At the third hour, dark clouds covered the moon. It was a dark night. The herdsmen of the Dakota were all asleep, and no one stood guard outside. There was never any danger on their own territory, and they would never have expected that there would be enemies to attack.
A small group of sudden people touched into the tribe's camp. The sudden people in this group were the horse thieves that Yang Ze had just bribed. They were all from the grassland. Of course, these horse thieves knew the habits of Dake. When they were asleep at night, no one would get up as long as they didn't make loud noises. They got off the horse from afar and touched into the camp.
They didn't dare to walk to the center of the camp. They only circled around the tents on the periphery and found a small tent. This should be the residence of a family. It should be a grandfather, with a few sons and a dozen grandsons, and they lived together. Then, including the women inside, there must be at least thirty to forty people. Although there are not enough more than one hundred horse thieves to be divided into, they should choose such a residence for the first wave of arresting people.
The horse thieves acted separately, some of them stayed guard, some of them led the horse, while others touched them into the tent to kill people.
More than one hundred people went to kill dozens of people, and then sneak attacked in the middle of the night. The chance of success was too high. In just two quarters of an hour, the killing horse thieves came out of the tent. It was very smooth. They took the sleeping Dake troops in one fell swoop, and all of them cut off their heads.
Things went too smoothly, and the horse thieves became excited. They had obtained dozens of stakes and had obtained so many horses, cattle and sheep. If they were normal, they would have been satisfied, but now they felt that they were not worth enough.
The horse thieves touched their heads and decided to do it again as they were just now, attack another place of residence, and kill another family.
For horse thieves with few people to sneak attack a tribe, tactics must be paid attention to. Although none of the horse thieves have received this education, they can draw a conclusion in actual combat, that is, they cannot go deep into the tribe center, so they are very likely to go in and out, so sweeping the periphery is the best way. As long as the tribes do not howl before they die, and do not alarm other people, then for a hundred of them, they will cut hundreds of heads into dozens of tents in one night, which is not a problem at all. As long as they don’t make any noise, they will do it.
But the horse thieves think very well, but it is very difficult to actually operate. The living areas of tribes on the grassland are often very large. Tribes with thousands of people can occupy camps in a radius of several miles. They form small residential sites based on each family as units, and then many residential sites form a large camp. Each residential site also has a fence for cattle and sheep. In theory, there is no problem if you want to sneak attacks on the periphery one by one.
But this time there were a lot more people coming, with hundreds of horse thieves. Don’t think they can really calm down. When some horse thieves grab cattle and sheep, they can’t help but cheer. Although the sound is not very loud, it will still attract the attention of the ministries when the night is quiet. In the past, as long as they can calm down in time, it’s nothing. After all, the distance between each residence is not too close.
However, it won't work tonight, because Asanada made the decision to relocate the tribe tomorrow, so many leaders sent people to inform their tribes overnight, so that they could prepare for the tribes and leave early tomorrow morning.
When the horse thieves had just washed the second residence, before they decided to attack the third residence or to stop, when they came again tomorrow night, they were discovered by a sudden savage soldier who came to deliver letters to the troops.
The sudden attack soldier suddenly discovered a large group of people. When he was in and out of a residential point, he immediately knew that an enemy had come to attack. The alertness of the grassland warriors was not ordinary sharp!
The sudden sword immediately shouted, and then drove away, shouting while running. In just a moment, there was someone coming out of every tent in the small camp where he was. The sudden sword carried a scimitar and looked over here!
The horse thieves were shocked and alarmed the soldiers in the tribe. That was not a joke. Everyone would shoot arrows. Don’t think that women and children could bully them at will. When women shoot arrows, they are no worse than men. As long as they are discovered, they will fall into a national war!
After jumping on the horse's back, the thieves turned around and ran away. They did not waste any time, and they did not even burn the tent, nor did they take the cattle and sheep away. They just carried the heads and fled to the camp of the right Shenwu Army!
Suddenly, the Bing found that the two residences of his tribe were attacked, hundreds of people died, including men, women, young and old. He was naturally furious and immediately chased them down, chasing the horse thieves, and the hatred of the sneak attack on the tribe must be avenged!
After escaping wildly, the horse thieves led the sudden soldiers to the outside of the camp of the Right Shenwu Army. The horse thieves knew each other and did not rush into the camp, so they dared not. They could only circle the camp. After all, the closer they were to the camp of the Right Shenwu Army, the safer they were.
Asanadako personally led his troops to come. He looked at the dark camp in front of him and thought to himself: "What's going on? Could it be that the Central Plains army attacked us? They are not all cowards? How could they be so bold?" (To be continued...)
