Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 193 Robbery the Camp and Kill the King 1
  Jia Cong looked at the Tatars who were retreating in a hurry, sneered slightly, and looked at the sky, but from the look of Shen Zhengsan, it was still a short time before dark.

"Call the generals to come see me."

Not long after, all the generals gathered in the meeting hall.

"Today the Tatars put all their efforts into a bloody battle, which lasted for eight or nine hours. If you didn't fight to the death, the fortress would be in danger." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"It's all down to the master's proper arrangements. I don't dare to take credit for my humble position." Everyone hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to be too humble. I have seen all of you brave men. After the war, I will naturally ask for credit for you all from the Commander-in-Chief."

"Thank you, sir, for your support." Everyone was happy.

"But I still have a question, who can help me answer it?"

"Please make it clear, my lord."

"I have already sent the scouting horse to monitor the Tatar camp. Why did thousands of people sneak into the city without a sound? Where is the scouting horse?" Jia Cong asked.

Everyone nodded at the same time, which they couldn't figure out.

Youjia, who has been at the border for a long time and is familiar with the situation of the Tatars, hurriedly said: "I have heard for a long time that the Tatars have domesticated a kind of fierce dog, called the thin dog. It has a fierce and aggressive temperament and is very good at tracking and hunting.

It seems that before the Tatar army was dispatched, they had sent scouts to clean up the surrounding area. With the help of this dog, no matter how well the detection horse was hidden, it could not escape the dog's nose. "

Everyone nodded in realization.

Jia Cong felt a chill in his heart. As a result, his next plan would be aborted.

Wang Jin saw Jia Cong frowning and said, "Sir, if you have any troubles, you might as well speak up. I may be able to share your worries with my humble rank."

Jia Cong sighed: "Originally, I wanted to sneak elite soldiers out of the tunnel to rob the camp tonight, but there are vicious dogs in the Tatar army to help. I'm afraid they will be discovered before they get close."

Only then did everyone understand the deep meaning of Jia Cong's continuous withdrawal of men during the day. Now that the Tatar soldiers were exhausted, suffered heavy casualties, and had low morale, it was the right time to rob the camp at night, but this thin dog was a problem.

You Jia said with joy: "My lord has foresight and foresight, and my subordinates admire it! We had already anticipated this day when we dug the tunnel. Now the remaining Tatar troops are only two thousand, and they have been fighting fiercely all day, and they have become exhausted."

Moreover, the Tatars never expected that our army had already dug tunnels, let alone that our army still had the strength to rob the camp. If the camp was robbed, the chance of winning would be as high as 90%! "

Su Can said: "Master Wei Dao said that the city gate is more expensive than less, and it is more expensive to open than to close it. It turns out that it has a very profound meaning. But how to fix this dog's nose is a bit difficult."

Everyone nodded in agreement and fell into deep thought for a moment. No matter how good your plan is, a barking dog can ruin it.

Suddenly I heard a weak voice saying: "Sir, I have a way to deceive those beasts."

Everyone hurriedly looked up and saw that it was Wang Fei sitting at the end.

"Speak quickly!" Jia Cong was overjoyed.

Wang Fei hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Excellency, I have visited the enemy camp twice to investigate, and I have indeed seen many vicious dogs..."

Everyone's eyes lit up, yes, this thief visited the camp twice as if he was in a deserted place, there must be a way to deal with those beasts.

"As you all know, I was used to this kind of business before, and wealthy people often have vicious dogs in their homes, so I prepared a medicinal powder that can be sprinkled on the body to cover up its own smell, and the dog's nose will not work."

The generals were overjoyed and hurriedly asked: "How much of this powder is left?"

Wang Fei said in shock: "I have been detained for a long time, and the little stock I have has been used up. If you want to prepare it on the spot, there are no ready-made medicines in the city."

Everyone was greatly disappointed, which was not said at all. Jia Cong frowned slightly, stared at Wang Fei, and his voice turned cold: "Are you kidding me?"

Wang Fei knelt down with a plop and said hurriedly: "How dare you humble your position? What you mean by humble position is that even though there is no medicinal powder, there is a simple way to hide it."

"You bastard, why don't you tell me now? It's embarrassing to your mother!" Everyone yelled in unison.

"Yes, yes, dogs all over the world use their sense of smell to identify people. Now that there are so many Tatar corpses outside the city, why not just take off their clothes and wear them on your body?" Wang Fei said.

"What a great idea!" Jia Cong laughed and raised his hand to tell him to get up.

"Send an order, the Tatars outside the city should not move, just take off the clothes of the Tatars in the city and put them on, and put the bodies in the city. The Tatars who are watching outside the city must not let the clues come out."

"Yes!" You Jiaxi and Yu Hong hurriedly accepted the order. They knew that with their own skills, Jia Cong would not lead them when he robbed the camp.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Flying Monkey, you were vigilant last night and saw through the Tatar night attack, and you have made a contribution today with your plan. If the camp is successfully robbed, I will credit you with your merits."

"Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I am a prisoner in a humble position. It is a blessing to be supported and treated leniently by my Lord. How can He De dare to take the lead." Wang Fei was overjoyed and thanked him hurriedly.

"My merits will be rewarded, and my faults will be punished. How can it differ from person to person? No need to say more."

Jia Cong waved his hand for him to retreat, looked at the crowd and said: "At the beginning of Youchu, everyone, go down and have a good rest. There will be a big battle in the evening. Pass my order, Haizheng is cooking pots and cooking tonight, and Zizheng is gathering the army to set off."

I, Wuji, Lei Tai, and Xie Hui led the soldiers and 300 elite troops together, while Acan, Lingkong, Monk, and Wang Fei led the trapped camp and sneaked out from the tunnels on the east and west sides.

Instructor Wang, Lao Deng, and Lao Zhang led the Spark Camp to be on standby at any time. When they saw a fire in the enemy camp, they opened the city gate and rushed out together. A three-way attack was planned to leave no trace of the Tatars behind! "

"I humbly obey my command!" Everyone stood up and agreed loudly.

Seeing that Wang Jin was worried about his own safety and wanted to persuade him, Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, no need to say more, just go down."

"I resign from my humble position." Everyone bowed and left.

Wang Jin smiled bitterly, knowing that Jia Cong had always had the right intentions, so he had no choice but to shut up and retreat. He couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart. Brother Cong has shown his majesty for the first time. He is already extraordinary. He will definitely not be the thing in the pool one day!

At the end of the first lunar month, nine hundred elite border troops, who had been withdrawing from the battlefield to rest since the morning, were well fed and well-fed, dressed in Tatar robes, and lined up neatly on the school field.

All the generals stood in the front row, watching Jia Cong on the stage, listening to his final pre-war mobilization.

"Brothers, do you know why I removed you from the city wall early in the morning and let other brothers work hard to support the situation? Just for now! Guess what the Tatars are doing now after fighting hard all day?"

"He's sleeping." The soldiers whispered.

"That's it. The Tatars must have thought that we were also sleeping. Tonight, we just robbed the camp and killed someone who was caught by surprise! To avenge the fallen brothers!"

"Revenge!" The soldiers did not dare to shout loudly, but gritted their teeth and uttered two words.

"In this battle, I will let the blood of the Tatars flow like a river, and not a single piece of armor will be left! When we return from victory, we will drink a celebratory wine together! Let's encourage each other! Let's go!"

Jia Cong waved his hand, and the two groups of soldiers, led by the general, turned left and right and filed into the houses where the tunnel entrance was located.

Jia Cong called You Jiaxi and Yu Hong and said, "You two must be careful tonight and tell the brothers that no matter how tired you are during the day, you must stand on the wall for me tonight and let the spies outside the city watch and protect me." Waiting for action, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, sir. You will never be negligent in your humble duties!" the two men replied hurriedly.
