Since the enemy dared to venture hundreds of miles deep into our territory, they must be elite troops. They would definitely not be careless in setting up camp, defense, formation, and sentry posts.
Two hours before daybreak is the best time for us to act. At that time, people are the most sleepy, and almost the entire night is safe. It is also the time when they are the most careless.
"There's no need for that. Just follow me."”。
Cheng Xin really wanted to laugh. What he said just now was just to play along with Han Shengwei. How could he know how many people were hundreds of miles away? Could it be that they are trying to trick us into traveling at night so that we can arrive at the camp tomorrow? If that's the case, just tell us. There's no need to go through all this trouble…
"It takes two hours to march twenty li at night. It would take six hours to travel two hundred li at night, even if we were to ride a horse. I have seen the map of the army. That area is a hilly area, and we have to extinguish our torches when we are thirty li away from the enemy…We don't have much time.”。
"Please give the order, Mr Han."
"Let's eat now and leave in an hour!"”。
"Understood!"
…………
An hour later, the three thousand guards set off. Yue Xiaofei insisted on following, and no one could persuade her.
Six hours later, the 2800 guards changed to walking, leaving the 200 who had not fully recovered to look after the warhorses.
Six hours later, when the guards saw the enemy's camp up close, they were all scared silly. They were not scared silly by the enemy's formation, but by Han Shengwei.
Cheng Xin was even more unable to understand. From hundreds of miles away, he could judge the enemy's situation almost accurately. Was he still human?
Yue Xiaofei was also stunned, but more than that, she was secretly delighted. This little youth…
Han Shengwei waved his hand, and the guards sneaked into the tents that they had allocated in advance. They didn't need to worry about the sentries. Xiaoke had already taken care of them, but the guards didn't know. They thought that the enemy was too careless and didn't set up any sentries.
Originally, every Dasong soldier had a small cloth bag filled with quicklime to collect the left ears of the enemies they had killed to register their military achievements. However, none of the guards brought it with them because no one believed that this was true.
They searched the enemy's entire body and the armor they had taken off, but they could not find a small bag of quicklime. It seemed that the enemy's method of registering military merits was different from theirs. They could only collect the useful things they found and carry the bloody enemy's left ear with them.
After Cheng Xin asked Han Shengwei for instructions, he sent 2,000 men back to the abandoned horse site to get the horses. Of course, they were to ride on the enemy's warhorses, so he could choose from 3,000 warhorses.
The remaining 800 men cleaned up the battlefield. The enemy's light cavalry did not have any supplies, but they had a few large carts to transport grain and tents.
Normally, the target would be within a day's journey, so this should be the enemy's last camp. The big cart had to be left here, and the tent had to be put away and loaded. This was common sense, or else the target would be too big.
So Han Shengwei requested that everything be handled according to the usual procedures. They only needed to bury the bodies and clean up the bloodstains, but the bodies had to be buried far away. He left behind a few corpses to make it look like they were killing each other, and he hid two spirit stones on one of the corpses.
To clean up the traces of their march to and from the abandoned horse land, but to preserve the traces of their march to Yue Zaifei's camp, there was no need to deliberately clean up the ruts, because the ruts could not be seen under the messy hoof prints.
This was a rare victory, and everyone was so excited that they didn't feel sleepy at all. After everything was done, the two groups of people gathered together. Three thousand soldiers and six thousand warhorses brought the armors and weapons that they had seized, and the imperial guards marched towards the Yue Marshal's camp in high spirits…
Han Shengwei chose to stay and gave him 20 days of food. After this battle, Han Shengwei's prestige had been established. Cheng Xin would not say no to any decision Han Shengwei made.
Yue Xiaofei couldn't understand Han Shengwei's decision. After struggling for a while, she finally chose to stay.
Yue Xiaofei chose to stay. No matter what the reason was, Han Shengwei was very touched that she could stay while she was in a hurry to see her brother. However, he could not show it. He could only hide it in his heart.
Han Shengwei brought Yue Xiaofei to the edge of the forest far away from the battle scene. Other than eating three meals made by Yue Xiaofei, he did not do anything for the whole day, nor did he speak much.
When it was nearing evening, Yue Xiaofei could not help but ask,"" What do you want to do by staying?"
" Wait for the rabbit."
" What do you mean by waiting for a rabbit?"
"Just sit next to the tree and wait for the rabbit to hit the tree.”。
"…Haha…" Yue Xiaofei laughed so hard that tears were about to flow out." Is there such a silly rabbit…hehehe…"
Han Shengwei didn't say anything. As long as she was happy, it was the first time she had laughed so happily since the march.
