Chapter 667: Destroy 1 part of the food and 0 break and weaken the enemy
The army led by Tan Aili took a short rest on the spot, while the mountain division marched rapidly without stopping and even participated in fierce fighting.
They always kept a distance of about ten miles from the main force and kept a close eye on the enemy. This was actually a practical exercise of extreme military use.
Let’s put the situation here aside for now and just say that in the evening, Tok led his troops to arrive near the Dengos Bridge.
After turning back five miles, the scout came back to report the situation to Jean Toque. The scout told him that the enemy had set up camp not far from the bridge, and the bridge seemed to have been destroyed...
Hearing this news, Tok was overjoyed. He immediately ordered the whole army to rest well, because this was the only way for the enemy to pass through, and as long as they waited for the enemy to tire themselves out, they would surely win. Moreover, he also ordered his men to set up an ambush around the area in advance.
At this moment, Tok couldn't help but feel complacent. He felt like he was the reincarnation of the God of War. He was so smart that he could rest the army in this dangerous terrain in advance.
We just need to send another scout to check on the enemy troops. If the enemy is not at the bridge, it will not be too late to track them down. At this moment, a natural ambush terrain is formed. The roads here are rugged and some areas are swamps. Heavy cavalry must be careful when passing through.
Each of them carried fifty arrowheads. After killing the enemy's mount, they could just leave it to the mountain division to deal with it. There was no need for them to fight to the death. They could just focus on receiving their rewards.
So they asked Tok, who only knew how to shoot, and two thousand mountain hunters to enter the ambush point in advance, and then announced that they would rest on the spot and maintain their combat effectiveness as much as possible.
At this time, Kashin was hiding in a tree, blending into the environment, and entering deep meditation. Even if the enemy members passed under the tree, they would still conduct reconnaissance and duty to ensure the safety of the army.
With their ordinary senses, it was almost impossible to detect Kashin who was hiding his breath with skin breathing. In this way, Kashin successfully avoided their attention and spent some time safely.
Time passed by, the night gradually deepened, the stars and the moon hung in the sky like hooks, casting a cool light. All around was quiet, with only the sound of insects echoing in my ears, as if it was a peaceful symphony played by nature.
In the dead of night, Kashin jumped down from the tree like an agile cheetah. His companion, Silver Wolf, had been waiting quietly under the tree. Seeing his master coming, he excitedly wagged his tail.
Kashin did not hesitate at all, he ran straight towards the enemy's logistics troops. Along the way, he always maintained a high degree of vigilance and paid attention to the movements around him.
After a long period of observation, Kashin knew the enemy's troop movements very well. He knew that the heavy cavalry was not good at long-distance marches, and after a day's march, they would definitely need a day of rest. Therefore, the enemy should not have much action at night.
After walking about three miles, Kashin felt that the distance was about right, so he jumped off the Silver Wolf and carefully crept over alone. However, after walking a few steps, he suddenly felt something strange, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Kashin stopped immediately and looked around alertly. He found that there seemed to be some unusual movement in the bushes ahead, so he crawled on the ground without hesitation and crawled forward quickly like a snake.
After several rolls, Kashin approached a pine tree. He climbed up the trunk swiftly, trying to make his body blend into the trunk, suppressing his heartbeat and making his breathing steady and slow.
In this way, Kashin lay quietly on the tree trunk, blending into the surrounding environment, as if he was part of the tree. He maintained absolute silence and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of attracting the enemy's attention.
About five minutes later, a group of nimble men passed by the pine tree where Kashen was. Kashen smiled and knew they were warriors sent by his wife to destroy the army's food supply.
The idea of starving a hundred thousand enemy troops and then easily annihilating them was Madam's specialty, and it always worked.
However, the danger of carrying out such a mission can be imagined. After all, it requires the warriors to have the awareness of sacrificing themselves, otherwise, no one would be willing to take the risk.
Kashin's mouth curled up slightly, thinking to himself that he must help. After all, with only a few hundred people, they could only destroy part of the enemy's food and grass at most. Once surrounded by the enemy's large force, they would probably be wiped out and there would be no chance of survival.
About 200 people took advantage of the cover of night and sneaked into the enemy camp like ghosts. In the blink of an eye, a patrol team was wiped out before they even had time to sound the alarm.
These people's methods were extremely skilled, and there was no bloodshed at all. All the enemies were killed by having their necks twisted, cleanly and neatly. The person in charge of the killing had no time to take care of the corpses, but quickly turned around and continued to wait for an opportunity to assassinate the logistics troops.
At the same time, another group of people carried the bodies silently like ghosts, as if nothing had happened.
After communicating with hand gestures, several masked men went into different tents like fish into water, but it seemed as if they had done nothing. When they came out of the tents, they were still so quiet.
Kashin stared at their every move with wide eyes, secretly amazed. These people acted quickly and coordinated well, obviously they were professional assassins who had undergone long-term training.
There were not many such professional assassins in the mountain division, but their presence undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the entire unit. Kashin knew how powerful they were and could not help but nod his head repeatedly in appreciation of their methods.
Kashin remained alert at all times, ready to cover their retreat if necessary. When a group of people carried away the bodies outside, Kashin did not hesitate to light a fire for the food and grass.
Their goal was not high, they just wanted to destroy some of the food and then escape without alerting the main force. Therefore, some assassins took quick action and hunted down a group of patrols.
These assassins were skilled, and every strike was accurate and deadly. They quickly carried the body into the tent, and the person in the tent had already died, which was a perfect location for the Tibetans. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, and the speed of the means was astonishing.
At this moment, the grain pile began to burn, and the fire spread rapidly. This was only a part of the grain, but it was enough to attract the enemy's attention.
After succeeding, the assassins did not hesitate at all. After a clear bird call, they scattered like ghosts and disappeared into the night.
Seeing them retreating and escaping unscathed, Kashin praised: "As expected of the elite assassins of the Mountain Division, they are quite capable. It seems that I don't need to cover their retreat. They are not greedy either. Destroying a part of them is enough to cause instability in the army's morale..."
