Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 398

[Chapter 398 Chen Hu’s Lesson]

On the bastion, the cold wind blows, and the long winter is coming.

Choosing this time period can seriously hit Beidi’s logistics and starve them to death in winter.

After finalizing the harassment plan, Chen Hu and Zhong Libing set off in two directions.

Eight thousand cavalry is not too many, too many targets are too big, too small can not achieve the tactical effect, so Zhao Xu and Chang Wei decided on this number after discussing.

At the same time, the cavalry also prepared fried noodles. Because they were riding horses, they carried more fried noodles, which was more conducive to their guerrilla warfare, harassing Beidi, and destroying their war plan against Yanzhou this time.

…

two days later.

In the vast grassland, there are only a few cold stars in the sky, and there is no moonlight. Zi and Zhongli split into two groups. Chen Hu goes out day and night, crosses Yanshan Mountain and finally enters the grass.

Using binoculars, his scouts could always find the Beidi scouts in advance, and then avoid the Beidi scouts, leading the cavalry to search for the small tribes under the command of the Black Iron King’s tent on the grassland.

Each king’s tent in Beidi has its own vast pasture, and the king’s tent is composed of many small tribes. These tribes are scattered on the grassland to graze. Only in times of war, soldiers will leave the tribe and go to the king’s tent to gather.

After half a day of searching, when it was completely dark, Chen Hu vaguely noticed a bright light ahead, and through the telescope, he confirmed that it was a small tribe.

“Come with me.” Chen Hu got off his horse, called his own guards and touched it.

As the distance got closer, he found that these fires were actually bonfires in the tribe. At this moment, many Beidi soldiers were sitting around the bonfire and roasting meat.

The smell of meat wafted over, making Chen Hu and his personal guards feel a little greedy.

“Damn it, after I kill them all, I will roast a sheep to eat.” Said the soldier beside Chen Hu. His name was Xue Gui, and he was one of Chen Hu’s personal guards.

“Hey, I’ll definitely let you eat enough.” Chen Hu grinned, and then he observed carefully, and found that this was a small tribe, with a maximum population of no more than a thousand people.

The hundreds of Beidi soldiers by the bonfire are probably the entire force of the tribe.

“Let him eat and drink enough, and send them on their way.” Chen Hu’s heart was full of killing intent, but now is not the best time to attack.

Because apart from Beidi soldiers who drink and eat meat, there are also Beidi herdsmen walking among the tents from time to time, and he will attack in the dead of night when they are all asleep.

At that time, you can strike with one net.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and signaled his guards to leave.

After returning to the team, he immediately let the cavalry under his command rest.

At midnight, Chen Hu led the troops back again, but this time he brought all 4,000 soldiers under his command.

Divide the soldiers into four groups, each with 1,000 people to surround the Beidi tribe. When everything was ready, Chen Hu gave the order to attack.

At this time, the Beidi soldiers were full of wine and food, and had already fallen asleep, and the entire Beidi camp was not alert.

Under his order, the soldiers crept into the tribe, touched the door of the tent with sabers, and waited for an order before they rushed into the tent.

When everything was ready, Chen Hu nodded to Xue Gui.

At this moment, Xue Gui stuffed two fingers into the mouth and whistled.

In the silent night, Xue Gui’s whistle was extremely loud, and the cavalry immediately rushed into the tent, slashing wildly with their sabers.

A scream resounded through the night.

Chen Hu also rushed into a tent. Just as he swung his knife, the tent suddenly lit up. It turned out that a woman had lit an oil lamp.

The woman was handsome and pitiful, and the knife Chen Hu swung froze involuntarily.

But at this moment, the woman suddenly pulled out her hand that was hidden behind her back. There was clearly a dagger in her hand, and she stabbed at Chen Hu viciously.

Chen Hu was startled, his reaction was quick, he swung his knife and knocked down the woman’s dagger, and then he slashed obliquely, a bloodstain appeared on the woman’s neck, and she fell down slowly.

“The kindness of a woman!” Chen Hu slapped himself hard, with lingering fear in his heart.

If he was killed carelessly, the 4,000 cavalry under his command might lose command, and the consequence of losing command would be that these 4,000 people might all be buried in the grassland.

King Yan reminded him and Zhongli not to be benevolent to women at that time, it was really prescient.

The killing lasted less than half an hour before it was over.

At this time, Xue Gui found Chen Hu and reported the situation, “Lieutenant, we have not left a single person alive, except for more than 10,000 cattle and sheep.”

“These cattle and sheep will be rewarded for you to eat, fill your stomach quickly, Continue to set off tomorrow.” Chen Hu said.

Xue Gui giggled and went immediately.

Not long after, the rich meaty aroma wafted around.

The next day, Chen Hu ordered the cavalry to set fire to the small Beidi tribe, and continued to go deep into the grassland.
