Wang Zhirong and Liu Bei Xiao'er, in the end, there are still insufficient troops!

Cai Mao looked at the flying ball in the sky, and gradually felt that she understood a little.........

They have a tendency to gather scattered soldiers and horses, gather in Xiangyang, and fight against the city, no wonder Guan Yu'er gave up Yicheng!

It's just that Zhang Yun has been looking for Guan Yu's reinforcements for five days, why hasn't he even said a word in return?

Cai Mao thought for a long time and called a few generals: "Huo Jun, you lead an army of 8,000 and station in Liuze Township;

Huang Zu, you led an army of 8,000 and lived in Pinan Bay;

Chen Huda, you led an army of 8,000 and stationed in Madian Village!

The rest of the people went into the city with General Ben! In this way, the north, south and east of the three sides, Jiayi City, are each other's horns to prevent attacks on the camp!

After stabilization, a large number of scouts will be sent to survey the terrain, find out the enemy's whereabouts, look for fighters, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!"

Cai Mao is still dreaming, he thinks that his soldiers are good enough to eat, and now that the military spirit has stabilized a little under the butcher's knife, he feels that Wang Zhirong and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses are not enough to stuff their teeth......

After all, he has been dealing with these two parties for two or three years, and Cai Mao still knows how many catties and taels they have!

The generals agreed with a bang, and the army began to allocate troops and camp with sparkling horses.

After Cai Mao was stationed in Anding, he sent a large number of scouts and began to look for the traces of Guan Yu's army and its reinforcements, and of course, the traces of the pioneer Zhang Yun...... This kid went out and mysteriously disappeared!

Cai Mao's scouts are mostly the descendants brought out by Cai Mao, and they are arrogant, thinking that Wang Zhirong's improvised army is vulnerable......

And Cai Mao is cautious, afraid that too small a group of scouts will be easily robbed and killed!

So each team of scouts is a team of hundreds, and dozens of teams of hundred people are sent!

They launched an all-out grate search, and each scout was armed with the best bow and crossbow!

There is even a bamboo whistle that can blow a sharp sound, which can be blown casually between each other but in a situation, which is easy to contact......

Such a scale and equipment further fostered the arrogance of Cai Mao's scouts.

In addition, their ability to disguise and stealth and cover their whereabouts is extremely poor, which provides great convenience for the reconnaissance of the scouts of the King's Division led by Zhuge Liang......

Zhuge Liang's scouts are all elites, and two or three out of ten have been trained in the mountains, even if they are absorbed later, they are also taught by new and veteran soldiers, and they have instilled Wang Zhirong's stealth reconnaissance thoughts, and now the reconnaissance methods are very skilled!

In the early days, they were divided into groups of three, each group brought seven newcomers, to carry out actual combat reconnaissance, and it was also a process of training newcomers.

After a period of training, these people have completely mastered the whereabouts of the enemy, and the newcomers have also made their debut in training!

The 300 people also led the newcomers according to the ratio of 37, and directly set up three reconnaissance battalions to be responsible for reconnaissance operations and directly responsible for Zhuge Liang.

This reconnaissance force and combat efficiency surprised Zhuge Liang, and the teacher's thoughts really shine everywhere! After seeing it, I have to be impressed!

After the advantage of reconnaissance power broke out, coupled with the cooperation of flying ball reconnaissance, Zhuge Liang found that he knew people well, and most of the time, the enemy's scouts would be directly intercepted and killed by their own scouts who made up and sneaked up!

After Zhuge Liang's reconnaissance force reported the enemy's grate-style search, he left a reconnaissance battalion with him, and the other two reconnaissance battalions went to the northeast with a thousand soldiers, totaling more than 1,600 people, to create a false impression for the enemy.

In fact, it is to go all the way to the northeast, creating a large number of traces of camping, burying pots and cooking, burning bonfires, and creating a large number of ruts, horseshoe prints, messy footprints, and so on!

Let the enemy see these illusions and come to a conclusion, that is, there are traces of 30,000 to 50,000 people fleeing to the northeast!

If a scout team comes up to you, annihilate them at all costs!

The reconnaissance battalion and the partial general with a thousand men were ordered to go.

Zhuge Liang instructed the people and horses to concentrate on frying the grain as dry food, boiling boiling water in a centralized manner, and distributing a pot to each person. The iron kettle is the standard configuration of the king's division, and Wang Zhirong ordered the blacksmiths to cast a large number of them, and each person issued one, and strictly ordered the army to drink boiling water.

This system has been strictly enforced, and now it has become a habit of veterans, a tradition of the entire army!

"In the future, you are not allowed to eat and drink again!

Horse hoof wrapping, those who have horses try to ride on horses, those who walk on both feet, try to walk in formation, repeat footprints, and hide our whereabouts!

Cheer up and go east in one breath, the reconnaissance battalion will be dispatched in advance, and if you encounter enemy scouts, no one will be left!

At this time tomorrow, we must rush to the barren mountains and dense forests northeast of Yicheng! ”

The generals were ordered, and some people offered some very effective methods of concealing their whereabouts, this kind of person was born in Orion, and he was very good at concealing his whereabouts. Of course, Zhuge Liang was overjoyed and adopted.

All arrangements were in place, military discipline was strictly emphasized, and the army set out for rectification.

Cai Mao and others were in Fanxian County, and the news of scouts from all walks of life was quickly fed back!

According to the feedback, Cai Mao and Zhu Bi will discuss and agree that most of Zhuge Liang has fled to the northeast, and the small part should be to the north of Yicheng in the east to hide, and after their men and horses go north, they will join forces with the thieves who came up from the south, and after they arrive in Xiangyang, they will do a flanking attack!

So, Cai Mao quickly organized an army of 40,000 and quickly chased to the northeast......

Cai Mao was also cautious, leaving Huang Zu to lead 8,000 people to defend Yicheng, and two generals, each leading 3,000 troops, stationed in the southeast of the county, due south, thinking that the horns should be taken care of.

Cai Mao personally led most of the troops and pursued Guan Yu's department.

Cai Mao marched quickly, sent scouts to check around in case of an ambush, and marched rapidly for a day and night, only to get a shocking news, the enemy's trail suddenly disappeared out of thin air, it seems that this group of enemies has never existed!

"What do you say? Tens of thousands of people eat, drink and scatter, it is impossible to have no trace! Cai Mao asked in shock.

"But after searching for more than 200 miles, there is no trace, not even footprints and horseshoe prints!"

Cai Mao tilted her head and thought for a long time, patted the desk, stood up and asked: "You searched for traces of the enemy's camp, in addition to the ashes of the campfire, the spilled rice grains, the rutted hoof prints, etc., there is an important thing, have you seen it?" ”

"What does the general mean?"

"Human! Someone is going to, and it's unlikely that this thing will be faked! You can poop as many people as you want, and don't believe that the bowl you eat, the campfire you lit, the footprints and so on are unreliable...... Lao Tzu suspects that he has been deceived! ”

The scout general knelt on the ground and shouted, "The last general deserves death!" This is overlooked! ”

"Check it out! Look at all the places you have seen in the early days, as long as they can't cover them up, they should be extrapolated! ”

An hour later, the scout came to report that the biggest flaw in the traces of the enemy's last camp was that there were not many people around, and according to the probability that one out of ten people here, it looked like there were more than 1,000 people at most!
