For this sneak attack plan, Cao Liang worked hard and made extremely comprehensive arrangements.

First of all, the number of teams led by Wen Yang must not be large. The more people, the larger the target, the easier it is to be exposed directly. Therefore, this army must be short and concise and have outstanding combat power, which is conducive to sneak attacks.

Of course, the fewer the better. Although the target is small, Tuoba Liwei sent tens of thousands of people to guard the forage farm. If there were too few people to attack the Bingzhou army, it would be impossible to break through the defense of the Xianbei people. Therefore, Cao Liang planned to plan and consider it comprehensively, and decided to send a thousand people.

One thousand people and three thousand horses, this configuration is the most ideal long-distance attack configuration. Each cavalry takes two empty horses and rotates along the way, so that the stamina of the war horse can be guaranteed to the maximum extent, and there is almost no need to rest in the middle, which is most suitable for long-distance raids.

These thousand people were not selected from the Yueqi camp, but from the three major cavalry camps of Yueqi camp, Xiaoqi camp and Tunqi camp. They can be said to have selected all the elite troops. So although the team of this thousand people is not large in size, it covers three major troops, light cavalry, bow cavalry and heavy cavalry, and is equipped with very complete equipment.

Heavy cavalry is suitable for frontal breakthroughs, while light cavalry has strong roundabout capabilities, while archers have the ability to strike long-rangely. If only one army is sent, it will be difficult to complete such sneak attack mission. The coordinated combat of the three arms will allow this cavalry to have various attack methods, and the effect is undoubtedly the best.

What's more, the ones drawn from the three major cavalry battalions this time are the most elite forces of each battalion, with outstanding martial arts and outstanding personal qualities. Such a combination undoubtedly makes people look forward to it.

Wen Yang took the order generously and set off at dusk with this thousand special cavalry team. The night would provide cover for the Bingzhou army. While they set off, Cao Liang also specially sent the Fangbudaijian Army's personnel to open the way first and dispel the secret whistles of the Xianbei people along the way.

When they set out, snowflakes floated in the sky, but the snow was not too heavy and would not hinder the speed of the Bingzhou army's advance. Moreover, the snowy weather could also provide a layer of protection for the Bingzhou army's sneak attacks. The worse the weather, the more relaxed the enemy would be.

Although he was marching above the wilderness, Wen Yang still ordered the entire army to remain silent, no loud noises and no fires. You must know that on this vast grassland, even if only a torch is lit, it is clearly visible dozens of miles away. Although the snowy days have shortened this distance a lot, Wen Yang cannot guarantee that Fang Bu and others can clear all the secret whistles of Xianbei people. It is very dangerous to have a fish that escapes the net.

This sneak attack must be done without knowing it, so that it is possible to catch a Xianbei person off guard. Otherwise, if the Xianbei person had prepared a lot, let alone a thousand people, even if ten thousand people passed, it would be useless.

Therefore, if you want to complete the task, you must ensure the suddenness of this sneak attack. The main reason why Cao Liang equipped Wen Yang with 3,000 horses was to ensure the speed of this team. If they were discovered by the Xianbei people's wandering watches, but if they could arrive at the forage farm before those wandering watches reported the news, it would not be a mistake.

Because the Xianbei Ranger sentries also need to send back the news quickly. If the Bingzhou army speed is as fast as possible, it can be equal to the Xianbei sentries, which can ensure that Tuoba Liwei will not know the movements of the Bingzhou army first. After he received the news of a sneak attack, he was afraid that the forage farm would have been burned.

During the entire process of marching, Wen Yang asked his cavalry to change horses every half an hour, so that the physical strength of the war horses would not drop too much. He ran for 300 miles in one night. It was still very easy to complete this task when there were horses rotated.

The only difficulty comes from unfamiliarity with the road. In order to ensure that you won’t get lost, Wen Yang arranged a guide in front of the team. These people were scouts who had been in and out of the grassland. They traveled back and forth many times frequently and were very familiar with the road here. Even in the dark, they would not go astray.

The entire team was sailing across the vast grassland like lightning. At dawn, they had already reached the periphery of Shengle, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier at this time. It was difficult to see anything else a hundred feet away. Only snowflakes were flying in the sky.

Wen Yang called the scout who led the way to the front and asked, "Are you sure you didn't lead the wrong way?"

The scout said confidently: "General, don't worry, this is only about three miles away from the forage farm. Following this road is the first checkpoint of the Xianbei people. After taking this checkpoint, you can go directly to the forage farm."

It has to be said that the scouts have a strong sense of direction and memory. Even if they are in the dark and in the fog, they can quickly distinguish the direction. This may also be a professional skill of the scouts. Otherwise, they will get lost as soon as they go out and will not reconnaise.

This is the real key point. Wen Yang and the others have never left the barrier or visited the grassland. Along the way, they are all blind and blind, relying on scouts to lead the way. Once they get lost, their entire action plan will be ruined.

Fortunately, the scouts Cao Liang arranged for them were the most experienced guides. Even if they traveled three hundred miles in the dark, they could accurately bring them to their destination. Next, it was time for Wen Yang to show his skills.

The Xianbei people set up three levels around the forage field. There were not many people on the first level outside. They were just equivalent to a checkpoint. Once something happened, they would provide warnings to the troops stationed inside. The second level was the biggest difficulty they had to face. Ten thousand Xianbei soldiers were distributed around the forage field, forming an airtight line of defense. The Bingzhou army had no good way except for forcing a breakthrough.

The third level is the gate of the forage yard. If you break through this level, you can enter the forage yard.

However, for Wen Yang, the third level doesn't matter, because they have archers and rockets. As long as they approach the area within the forage field with one arrow, they can shoot the rocket into the forage field, so they don't need to enter the forage field at all.

The only difficulty is that it is necessary to break through the Xianbei people's defense line. Wen Yang did not hesitate and issued an order to attack immediately.
