Chapter 1185

For a whole day, Shi a almost looked at all the places in the city that needed to be carefully observed. Seeing that it was going to be dark, Shi a was ready to return to the inn for a rest. Who knows, when he was ready to return to the inn, suddenly there was a rumbling horse hoof from the gate, and then he heard the shouts of the soldiers at the gate: "come on, everyone, get out of the way! Hao Duwei is back! "

As soon as the words came out, the passers-by on the street were scared to get close to both sides of the street. There was a rush of chickens and dogs on the street. Shi a saw this and followed the passers-by to the door of a shop next to the street.

Soon, a thousand cavalry came whistling from the gate, stirring up dust all over the sky. Even so, the pedestrians on both sides of the street covered their noses with their hands, but no one dared to show resentment on their faces. This shows the deep prestige of Hao Meng in Shangdang county. Seeing that a thousand cavalry were about to rush through the street, Shia secretly looked at the cavalry. Suddenly, a cold light passed through his eyes, but he soon covered it up.

The reason why Shi a had such a reaction was that the news that the shadow sent back to Luoyang said that Zhang Yang and Hao Zhao's cavalry were ordinary sword and shield cavalry. Although they also carried bows and arrows on their horses, they were not good at riding and shooting. However, when Shi a saw it just now, he found that the bows and arrows on the horse's back of the 1000 cavalry were not the ordinary riding bows used by the Central Plains cavalry, but the angle bows that were more suitable for the horse cavalry. Moreover, Shi a could get that the excellent degree of these angle bows was much higher than that of the ordinary riding bows. The reason why he was so sure was that the Tu cavalry in huyandu used the most excellent angle bows The bow is even better than the horn bow used by the tribes on the grassland.

From the angle bow used by the 1000 cavalry in front of the eye glue, it can be seen that Hao Zhao is not an ordinary cavalry general, but a general of the bow cavalry. Don't underestimate the difference. He may cause huge loss of troops on the battlefield, or even turn the whole war around.

"Damn it Shi ah scolded himself in his heart: "even this is wrong!"

Originally, he thought that he would go to the stronghold of shadow guard to meet with the leader of Shangdang today, but seeing this situation, he changed his mind. He decided to observe the situation of the soldiers in the city and decide the next action. After this incident, Shi a also found that there were some shortcomings in the shadow guard.

As the sky slowly darkens, Shi'a goes to the southeast of the city again. This area is the most prosperous area in the eldest son's city. There are many restaurants, fireworks and dignitaries in the city.

Find a luxury restaurant, Shi a head did not return to go in, in the shop under the guidance of the second floor, and came to a quiet place, sat down, ordered a few dishes, and let the second on a pot of good wine, Shi a sat there eating while listening to the people around.

However, to Shi A's disappointment, he didn't hear much useful information after a dinner. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the restaurant, Shi a finished his dinner and left the restaurant.

Back at the inn, Shia did a little washing, then blew out the lights and went to bed.

At the second watch, the window of Shi'a's room quietly opened, and he appeared in the window, turned out, gently closed the window, and then jumped up, and he jumped on the roof of the inn. Standing on the roof, Shi a confirmed the direction, found the location of the barracks in the south of the city, and went to the barracks without hesitation.

During the day, Shi a had carefully looked around the military camp in the south of the city and saw several good places to observe. Now that he had found that Hao Meng's cavalry information was wrong, Shi a decided to carefully observe the situation of the soldiers in the eldest son's city to prevent any further mistakes.

Half an hour later, Shi'a rushed to the southwest corner of the barracks in the south of the city. Dozens of steps away, there was a house with a tree several feet high. During the day, Shi'a observed it and found that the movement in the barracks could be observed just above the tree.

The barracks in the city are just like this. Unlike the barracks outside the city, they can be cleaned up within hundreds of steps, but not in the city. It is impossible for people to clean up all the barracks within a hundred steps. In this way, it just gives Shi a chance.

Turning over into the yard, Shi a quickly came to the tree, climbed to the tree three or two times, found a suitable position, hid his body, rested with his eyes, and quietly waited for daybreak to observe the training of the soldiers in the camp.

Soon, it was five o'clock, and people began to walk around in the barracks. It should be the cook who began to prepare breakfast. At the third quarter of five o'clock, the whole barracks seemed to be alive all at once. After the sound of a trumpet, teams of soldiers began to appear in the middle of the barracks in full armor.

Hearing the sound of the horn, Shi awei closed his eyes and opened them fiercely. Looking towards the camp through the thick leaves, he saw teams of taxi soldiers begin to line up, and soon the square arrays were arranged in the middle of the school yard. Shi a counted them all, but there were only nine square arrays. Five of them were obviously more neat and tight, which should be the 5000 soldiers. The other four square arrays looked much worse, which should be the soldiers of the prefectures and the States. In addition, the four gates of the city had a vigil, and a soldier patrol. In this way, the number of 10000 soldiers was exactly the same.As for the two thousand cavalry guards, they must be arranged in the Barracks at the north gate, which is close to the Taishou's and Duwei's houses, just to protect their safety.

There is no problem in terms of military strength, so the next step is to observe the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but now they are not in combat, so all they can see is their training. Fortunately, Shi A's personal intelligence, if it is replaced by ordinary shadow guards, it is not easy to see the combat power of the soldiers. Shi a must have been fighting with Huangfu Chaobo for many years, and he has seen countless soldiers. In addition, the guards have always been the most powerful soldiers. Shi a often sees their training, so his evaluation of the combat power of the soldiers is not enough It's more accurate.

After observing for less than half an hour, Shi a had a good idea of the combat power of these soldiers. These soldiers should have the same strength as the ordinary soldiers of the Tang army, and still slightly inferior to the elite soldiers; while the ordinary soldiers of the prefectures and states were far from the garrison of the Tang army.

Seeing that the sky was about to light, Shi a also delayed. When he was sure that there was no one in the yard, he quickly slid down from the tree. Then a Yao Zi turned over and left the yard. Then he walked all the way back to his inn.
