Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 7 Using means to attack and harass at night

Qu Yi didn't answer, but took the binoculars from Yuan Xi's hand, and looked down the mountain solemnly.

Through the cylinder, with the moonlight and bonfire, he could see the camp of the Huns rogues several miles away quite clearly.

Although Mr. Qu Yixin has a weird personality, the things he made are very interesting. Things that are difficult to see in the distance can be magnified several times through this small cylinder. If it is used well, it can be a sharp weapon on the battlefield .

Qu Yi spoke highly of this thing called the telescope, which can detect the enemy's situation, prevent sneak attacks, and even change the direction of the battle!

He watched for a full cup of tea before handing the cylinder back to Yuan Xi, and said: "The other party doesn't seem to have encountered any battles along the way, their physical strength is still intact, and many people still have the strength to dance and wrestle. Going in to attack the camp tonight, the chances of winning are not great."

"The best way is to harass Tiredness, keep him too busy to take a good rest, and wait for an opportunity tomorrow."

Yuan Xi listened, and praised: "What brother said makes sense, so we can follow what brother sees, we just harass from a distance."

Qu Yi said proudly: "That's natural. I have dealt with the Xiongnu a lot in Liangzhou before. If it weren't for the young master's soldiers training for a short time and the number of soldiers is too small, I would have taken the lead in killing them."

Yuan Xi smiled wryly: "You also know my difficulty. It is difficult for me to raise dozens of soldiers with the food I cheated from my father."

He is now just a famous city guard, equivalent to a county captain, with only a few hundred stone salary.

In the Han Dynasty, the monthly salary of an elite soldier was about three stones.

Qu Yi snorted, Xin Dao said that he had never seen such a shabby family, who saved his rations to support his soldiers, and all his income was snatched from horse thieves and bandits.

In fact, the lowest risk method is to plunder the common people. Almost all the princes have done this, but Yuan Xi has always guarded this bottom line.

Seeing that they were finally able to open their doors, they encountered a hard nut to crack. The Xiongnu rogues below had a lot of people, and there were dozens of armored cavalry among them. This is not easy to deal with!
So I can only cut the flesh with a blunt knife and draw it slowly.

Ju Yi was somewhat selfish, he really wanted to make a quick decision, with a huge advantage over Zhao Yun, whom the young master valued so much.

He wants to prove that although his strength has been greatly reduced, he will not lose to a little-known young player!

And what is so good about Zhao Yun that he deserves so much attention from the young master?

If you meet him, you must compete with him!
Seeing Qu Yi's expression, Yuan Xi probably guessed what he was thinking again, and couldn't help having a headache.

Qu Yi was extremely proud, and Gongsun Zan's famous Baima Yicong was also defeated by him, so naturally he would not think highly of Zhao Yun who was not yet famous.

He said helplessly: "Brother Qu, I don't say anything, I just hope that when you go out tomorrow, you will replace your current armor with your original collar armor."

Qu Yi didn't know why, but he also knew that most of Yuan Xi's words in recent years were quite effective, so he nodded immediately.

It was night, and the Huns camped on the spot. Only the generals and nobles slept in the tents, and the other soldiers took off their armor and pillows, and gradually fell asleep near the campfire.

As for the hundreds of women, they were squeezed close together around the fire, and those who were close could still feel some warmth, while those who were far away were shivering from the cold.

Many of them wanted to run away, but the vicious staring of more than a dozen Xiongnu rogues who were on duty at night made them put this thought to rest.

At the climax of the moon, a night guard also felt a little drowsy. He walked back and forth in front of several fires, but suddenly heard some unusual movements in the air.

He raised his head, and by the moonlight, he saw dozens of small black spots flying towards the night sky!
He dodged in a hurry, but was shot in the shoulder by a wooden arrow, and immediately screamed, the wooden arrow fell down, shooting several Huns soldiers beside the fire, and the screams were endless for a while.

Before they could react, dozens of arrows were shot, and another Xiongnu soldier who was sleeping by the fire was also hit, and several people died in their sleep in a daze.

Then came the third wave, and the fourth wave.

At this moment, the entire camp exploded. The Huns soldiers were not a mob, and the shrill horns sounded immediately. Those with armor quickly put on their armor, and those without armor took cover, picked up their bows and arrows, and attacked the wooden arrows The direction shot past.

In less than a few dozen breaths, hundreds of Xiongnu soldiers had already picked up their weapons and rushed up the mountain.

As a result, they searched for a long time, but they didn't see a single person, who had already run away.

Where the arrows were shot, there were only a few lumps of fresh dung.

In the camp below, the Xiongnu chief held a wooden arrow stained with blood and gold, and cursed loudly, and none of his generals dared to speak out.

These Han dogs are too despicable!
The wooden arrows are quite rough, as if they were used by hunters in the mountains. What's more disgusting is that they are all coated with gold juice, which is extremely cheap.

If you are shot by this kind of arrow, if you don't take proper treatment and recuperation, you will get sick at least, or die at worst.

In these rounds of wooden arrows, more than a dozen people were killed on the spot, and more than [-] people were injured. Moreover, this kind of injury is extremely difficult to treat, so they can only be cleaned and bandaged hastily.

As for whether the wound will ooze pus and fester in the future, it can only depend on the artificiality of each person.

He remembered what the scouts said about meeting the Orion during the day, and threw the arrow on the ground angrily. The people of Youzhou are really tough, and it was obvious that the Orion had come to take revenge during the day!
It is too courageous for mere civilians to dare to provoke a Hun tribe like them!

But why are there so many hunters around here?
The patriarch of the Xiongnu was not worried that it was the official army of the Han Dynasty who came. If so, they should have used iron arrows.

They have already opened up the relationship along the way, and the route to Bingzhou has also been properly arranged.

Now that the Han Dynasty is in chaos, the Xiongnu and the princes of various states either dare not provoke them, or cannot afford to provoke them, or have colluded with them in private.

It's just those unscrupulous mountain refugees who dare to be so ignorant!

At this time, all the soldiers who went up the mountain to search had returned, saying that the other party had fled and could not catch up.

Seeing the exhaustion on the faces of the people, the chief of the Xiongnu had no choice but to make them want to go back to rest. At the same time, he stepped up his guard and sent dozens of people to the mountain for defense.

He was furious in his heart, and at dawn tomorrow, he would search the nearby villages, and once he found them, he would definitely slaughter the whole village!
Waking up in the middle of the night, he and several other generals were very tired. Seeing the soldiers go up the mountain to garrison, they went back to the tent and fell asleep.

In less than an hour, the chief of the Huns was awakened by the screams again. He ran out of the tent and almost vomited blood.

On the opposite side, there were still a few waves of golden juice arrow rain attacking, but the direction of the shots was from the opposite mountain just now!
Now he couldn't bear it anymore, and ordered dozens of people to stay behind to guard the kidnapped woman, and the others all rushed up.

Of course, the result was in vain. After a whole night of tossing, it was almost dawn.

At this time, the chief of the Xiongnu saw that hundreds of his subordinates had been tossing all night, and everyone was exhausted, so he had to order to rest on the spot for a long time.

Qu Yi held the cylinder, watched the Xiongnu soldiers take turns to rest and sleep on the spot, and sneered at Yuan Xi: "These Hu dogs are so stupid, it will save trouble."

"If they go up the mountain to seize a high place and build a camp, we will be difficult to deal with."

"Before I came last night, I had already put those one hundred elite soldiers on standby. I will go back quickly and lead my troops to form a formation at the entrance of the valley!"

"Before that, please hold Fang down first, young master."

"For my brother's sake, let me teach you the results of these two years of military training!"

A few hours later, the sun was high, and Zhao Yun led a hundred soldiers and horses around Beixin City and headed south. He saw horseshoe footprints on the ground along the way, and he was thoughtful.

Why haven't I seen Yuan Xi's soldiers and horses so far? Did the other party beat him?
He reacted suddenly and issued an order: "The whole army is heading south at full speed!"
