"You're thinking too much!"
Wang Chong said calmly.
"The Tibetans are slightly shorter than us Han people, but they are also slightly shorter than us Han people. You just need to watch out for those who are short and look suspicious. "
"Suspicious?"
Xu Gan frowned.
"That's right."
Wang Chong said calmly.
"The scout will try his best to disguise himself as one of us, but ultimately, he is different from us. As such, his actions will be slightly different, and it's easy to see through him. Everyone here has their chests puffed up and their heads raised, except for that person who has his head lowered, which is completely different from the others. There's a saying that goes, 'The head of a thief', and a thief is different from an ordinary person. Similarly, the Ouzan scouts are different from our own cavalrymen. "
"But given his condition, it's possible that he was a short and injured cavalryman, right?"
Another student from Shenwei Training Camp who was with Fang Xuanying and the others said.
He still felt that Wang Chong's method was a little too risky. After all, it was better to be safe than sorry. Even if the situation was as Wang Chong said, it wasn't entirely safe.
It wouldn't be a small matter if he were to accidentally kill the scout!
"Hehe, so, didn't I test him?"
Wang Chong chuckled.
Everyone was taken aback. They suddenly recalled the thunderous roar that Wang Chong had let out before making a move, and they came to a realization.
"I see!"
"Gongzi's eyes are truly sharp and meticulous. I'm truly in awe of you!"
"We've been searching for an entire day, but we weren't able to find any Ouzan scouts. I thought that gongzi was mistaken, and there were no Ouzan scouts at all. If gongzi hadn't seen through it, I would have never imagined that they would be so brazen! "
"Indeed! It was as though they had entered an uninhabited land. But thinking about it now, it's truly frightening! "
...
The group of people felt the same way. The entire Tang dynasty's official resting place was heavily guarded. More than two hundred of them weaved into a huge net to search everywhere.
Under such circumstances, these Ouzan people actually dared to swagger their way into the resting point right under everyone's noses. Just thinking about it made one's hair stand on end and shudder with fear.
If it weren't for Wang Chong, no one would have known that there was an Ouzan scout wandering around them, and that all their secrets had been discovered by them.
Even the casual chatter between acquaintances could not escape their ears.
Thinking of this, the crowd was even more impressed.
'Hearing about Wang Chong is not as good as meeting him in person.' Only now did everyone realize that the rumors about Wang Chong in the capital were probably true.
In terms of thinking and insight, Wang Chong's abilities far surpassed theirs.
"I can't blame you for this. The Ouzan used the armors and horses of the soldiers who died in battle, so it's normal that you didn't notice. "
Wang Chong said.
Never underestimate your opponents. The Ouzan might not be as prosperous and prosperous as the Central Plains, but they were definitely the most suitable opponents and warriors.
In terms of intelligence and cunning, they weren't inferior to any of their opponents. In the war between the Tang dynasty and the Ouzan, there were quite a few famous generals in the Central Plains who fell to the Ouzan.
To Wang Chong, this was common sense not to underestimate the Ouzan. But to Zhao Yatong, Xu Gan, Fang Xuanying, and the others, this wasn't the time.
Most of the scions who came under the tutelage of the Central Plains' Wang Hua looked down on foreigners. This was the same attitude that Wang Chong had in his previous life as well, so there was nothing to be surprised about.
With Wang Chong as an example, they knew the direction of their search, and their movements became much more effective. This time, it wasn't just Wang Chong and the others who joined in the search. The entire resting point had joined in as well.
After the first, the second, the third … In just a short period of time, four to five Ouzan scouts were captured.
No one was able to approach the resting point anymore. All of the soldiers around the resting point were ordered to remove their helmets.
Under such circumstances, the Red of the Highland that the Ouzan soldiers were wearing was completely exposed.
…
"What's going on? They didn't appear again? "
At the same time, on the peak of the mountain occupied by the Ouzan soldiers, a high-ranking Ouzan officer with a powerful aura and a small mustache was looking down at an Ouzan squad leader with a hint of anger in his eyes.
"Lord, they didn't! We have already sent three groups of men to investigate. Logically speaking, they should have returned by now. I'm afraid that … they might have returned! "
The Ouzan squad leader lowered his head.
He was the scout leader of this team. All of the scouts were sent out by him, and he was also in charge of them. In the past half a month, there had never been such a problem.
The bearded Ouzan officer wanted to curse, but he seemed to have thought of something. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"Is it possible that our disguise has been seen through by them?"
He stared at the Ten-Man Squad leader and asked.
"Impossible! They have never been seen through after so long. "
The Ouzan Squad leader shook his head without hesitation.
"Not in the past doesn't mean not now!"
The bearded Ouzan officer gritted his teeth and said gloomily.
"No matter what, our method has obviously failed. We can't send out any more scouts. Let's call it quits. We have already gotten the information we want. "
"The people of the Tang dynasty are arrogant now. They think that we are all idiots. Even if they discover our operation, they will never change their plan. Let's just stick to the original plan! Tomorrow, we will completely destroy them! "
As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, sir!"
The Ten-Man Squad leader, who was at a disadvantage, quickly lowered his head and said no more.
In a place where no one could see, the dark clouds of war were slowly brewing.
…
"Dong dong dong dong!"
Early in the morning, the sound of drums from the Heaven Shaking Staircase broke through the fog and filled the entire third gathering point. The sound of footsteps and hooves of the warhorses were endless.
Compared to three days ago, the atmosphere in the resting point was extremely tense. The air was filled with the smell of war.
The training camp's students and cavalrymen, who were usually bustling with activity and whispering to each other, were now much more depressed and silent. For the cavalrymen who had experienced the battle with the Ouzan, everyone knew what today's battle meant.
"Hurry up! All of you, hold onto your shields! That's your life! "
"Axemen, attack! As long as the shield-bearers at the front can stop their warhorses from charging, attack immediately. Kill the horses first, then the soldiers! Don't let the Ouzan get past your defenses! "
"Master archers, aim for the gaps in their armor. Heavy armor isn't omnipotent. As long as you aim accurately, they will still die! "
"Everyone, follow my orders strictly. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be executed!"
…
Early in the morning, the Big Dipper Army commandant walked to and fro with a voice reminiscent of thunder. His gaze was sharp and his expression authoritative, reminiscent of an enraged lion.
Even though the highest commander of the Big Dipper Army was Geshu Han, its founder was the current war god, the current imperial tutor of the crown prince, Wang Zhongsi.
In the Tang dynasty, Wang Zhongsi was the true pillar of the empire, the number one commander of the Han. His standing and influence were above even that of the Eastern Protector-General, Zhang Shougui.
Wang Zhongsi was a strict commander, and everything that the Big Dipper Army was built upon was left behind by Lord Wang. Geshu Han had only inherited it.
Almost everyone in the Big Dipper Army was of the same style. This Big Dipper Army commandant was no different.
There was almost no one who didn't fear military authority.
Seeing this sight, Wang Chong couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity.
Even though this was the first time he was participating in a war against the Ouzan since his reincarnation, Wang Chong wasn't unfamiliar with it.
Some things were hidden deep within one's bloodline and soul. Every single battle was calling out to Wang Chong, awakening something in him.
"How is it? Are you ready? "
Seeing the tense atmosphere in the resting point, Wang Chong turned to Xu Gan, Huang Yongtu, Fang Xuanying, Bai Ling, Zhao Yatong, and the others.
"Un."
The few of them nodded solemnly.
Xu Gan, Huang Yongtu, and the others were still fine. After all, they had never participated in a war before, and they had never witnessed the might of the Ouzan army. However, it was different for Fang Xuanying and the others. They were slightly nervous.
Even Zhao Yatong was the same.
They had participated in several wars in the past, so it was impossible for them to not be nervous.
Of course, Wang Chong saw it, but he didn't say a word.
Facts spoke louder than words, and it was useless to say anything to them at the moment. They would understand everything once the war was over.
"Let's go according to the plan. The first wave will disperse first, then the second, and the third … We have too many people at the moment, and we're too big of a target. Losing so many of us will surely attract attention."
Wang Chong said calmly as he began making the final arrangements for the war. It wouldn't be easy for him to execute his plan. The Big Dipper Army commandant wasn't a fool. It was impossible for him not to notice the sudden loss of two hundred men.
However, Wang Chong wasn't worried at all.
"… Later on, when the commandant calls out the roll, we'll report to him. We'll move swiftly when it's time to depart from the resting point. The Big Dipper Army is an arrogant bunch, and our commandant is currently focused on the four hundred Big Dipper Army infantry and axemen equipped with Tower Shields. Once he calls out the roll, he won't pay any more attention to us, and that will be our opportunity. "
"Understood!"
The crowd replied grimly.
Over this period of time, they had managed to build trust and obedience toward Wang Chong. Even a genius like Zhao Yatong was this way, needless to say, the others.
"Alright! Move out! "
Hearing the crowd's reply, Wang Chong nodded.
Hong long long!
A moment later, the ground began to tremble, and a cloud of dust rose into the air. Under the command of the Big Dipper Army commandant, the infantry and cavalry of the resting point marched toward the mountain occupied by the Tibetans with a solemn and imposing aura.
At the very back of the army, no one noticed that Wang Chong was swiftly retreating with his two hundred men.
