Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 221

The night passed.

The next day, Xi Zhicai woke up Zhang Ming very early.

"My lord, important information."

When Zhang Ming heard Xi Zhicai calling him outside the tent, he immediately got up.

After dressing up, meet Xi Zhicai in the big tent next to him.

The big tent next to it is not for people to live in, but for discussing affairs and commanding battles.

"My lord, the scouts and the special forces came back last night. They fought hundreds of times in one night. Our side lost more than 200 people. It is estimated that the enemy may lose more than 1000 people." Xi Zhicai said.

This is a big deal.

One night, the scouts were fighting, and the attack intensity was so high.

"My lord, before dawn, the first batch and the second batch came back. After I came back to make statistics, I hurried to report."

Zhang Ming fell into deep thought. This place is close to Hulao Pass, and the enemy must counterattack frantically.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Ming said: "All the special forces are back, take a good rest, and they will do a big job tonight."

Zhang Ming judged that there must be a lot of enemy scouts active here at night, so Zhang Ming wanted to hunt and kill the enemy's scout team.

Zhang Ming and the others studied intelligence and set up tactics.

The scouts who came back all described the situation of the enemy in detail.

The enemy's scouting team was small in number, ranging from three to five to a dozen individuals, and they moved quickly.

"So, we have a team of twenty people, all equipped with bows and crossbows, and the special forces team, all equipped with night vision goggles."

Zhang Ming planned to have a hunt, a carnival at night.

In the afternoon, he ordered the soldiers to take a good rest.

In the evening, he led the army to set out, and then dispersed in a hidden place.

He ordered Guan Yu to lead 2000 people to ambush. If the enemy finds out and pursues them, someone must stop and respond.

Zhang Fei went out to battle with Zhao Yun, leading the special forces, while Xu Huang stayed in the camp.

Just after nightfall, the killing began.

The enemy sent many scouts for tens of miles around Sun Jian's camp.

Zhang Ming personally led a team of 20 people.

"kill~"

Spotting a team of five enemies, Zhang Ming and the others rushed up and attacked with bows and crossbows.

"Hey~"

"Ding~ System prompt: Congratulations to the host for killing a Xiliang soldier, reward three squirrels for a pack, 300 copper coins, meritorious value +1."

Several other enemies were also shot and killed.

The enemy is not equipped with a crossbow.

"Get the arrows away and retreat immediately."

Zhang Ming didn't want to keep the arrow, it was too intuitive, and the enemy would be able to judge it immediately.

After Zhang Ming and the others killed a wave, they moved immediately.

At the same time, at night, there are a large number of squads scattered in many places, carrying out silent killings.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Ming and the others hunted and killed three waves of enemy scouts, killing more than 20 people.

But in general, a lot of enemy scouts were killed tonight. Zhang Ming and the others dispatched more than 2000 people, while the enemy had already killed more than 300 people.

Zhang Ming kept going in this direction.

"Not good, quickly hide."

Zhang Ming used the night vision device and found movement in the distance.

Soon, a patrol team passed here, the number reached a hundred people.

These are not scouts. It is more appropriate for scouts to be in groups of three or four. This is a patrol team.

Why patrol?
Here is what they want to protect.

Probably their barracks.

Here, it is already thirty miles away from Sun Jian's camp.

The enemy was to the southwest of Sun Jian's camp, and Hulaoguan was to the west.

What kind of team will this be?

Zhang Ming and the others found a place to hide.

"Leave five people to guard the horses, and the rest, we will go in and investigate on foot."

Zhang Ming is leading special forces, and he is good at infiltrating them.

Say it and act it.

Zhang Ming led people to infiltrate it.

On the way, they found several waves of patrols.

Sure enough, this was one of their barracks.

"Go around."

Zhang Ming and the others circled around.

"The military camp is not large, with 5000 to [-] people. What kind of army is this?"

After a lap, Zhang Ming and the others dodged the patrolling team and retreated quietly.

Could it be that he was planning to sneak attack Sun Jian, or what did he want to do?

Are you here tonight, or what?

With doubts, Zhang Ming left a few people to continue to follow, and he was going back.

What is the result of tonight's battle, we have to go back and talk about it.

Before dawn, Zhang Ming and the others went back.

Xi Zhicai was already anxiously waiting for them.

"Hahaha, big brother, cool, I killed four waves tonight." When I met Zhang Fei at the door, this guy was happy to be able to fight.

"Third brother, is there any injury?"

"Brother, don't worry, who is my old Zhang, I won't get hurt so easily."

Zhang Ming patted Zhang Fei on the shoulder and went in together.

Xizhi has already started counting.

Xi Zhi didn't complete the statistics until after dawn.

"My lord, our side has lost more than 400 people, and it is estimated that nearly 3000 enemies have been killed."

Zhang Ming was shocked, the frequency of the scouts sent out was too high.

"What is the Xiliang army going to do?"

Everyone was puzzled, Zhang Ming and the others had been busy all night, so they needed to rest first.

After rest until the afternoon, Zhang Ming called a few more people.

Xi Zhicai said, "Master, this subordinate has an idea."

"Zhicai, tell me."

Xi Zhicai took a sip of tea, looked at the crowd and said, "My lord, I guess the Xiliang army wants to attack Sun Jian and the others."

Xu Huang retorted: "According to our understanding, they have attacked Sun Jian a dozen times, and Sun Jian has also attacked them, and each has won or lost."

Xi Zhicai agreed with this statement, and he went on to say: "This time the sneak attack is different. The enemy sent so many scouts to block Sun Jian's connection with the Allied forces. They may want to sneak attack on their logistics. After all, this time, Sun Jian It’s also going deep behind enemy lines.”

"As long as there is a problem with their logistics, their morale is shaken, and they attack Sun Jian's camp again, Sun Jian will be in danger."

Zhang Ming remembered that Yuan Shu was afraid that Sun Jian would break Luoyang all the way and take their credit, so he deliberately worked on the logistics, leaving Sun Jian without support, and finally suffered a disastrous defeat.

This is not necessarily true, but there must be something wrong with Sun Jian's logistics.

Going deep into the war zone, they are all enemies. The transportation route is too far, and it is normal to be cut off from the food road.

Zhao Yun said: "Then we will ambush Xiliang's team, and we will reappear after they sneak attack."

Zhang Ming remained silent, and everyone began to discuss.

Finally Zhang Ming said: "The army we found last night may be the team planning to ambush Sun Jian's logistics. We will not act tonight."

The enemy must have discovered the frenzied hunting last night, but it will not be so easy tonight.

Zhang Ming will not send troops tonight, as long as the enemy does not approach them, Zhang Ming's soldiers and horses will not appear.

Just after nightfall, Zhang Ming's scouts came to report.

"My lord, just after nightfall, the enemy we monitored last night broke out."

Hiding day and night, this is the work of ambushes.

"Okay, send someone to watch, don't disturb them."

Zhang Ming's guess has been verified, and this team is likely to be the team preparing to attack.
