Chapter 4 (28) Grain Team (I)
Ignoring his own foot stuck in the stirrups, the sentry staggered on one foot, pointing in the southeast direction and shouting, "General! It's our own people! Own! ”
"Your own people?" Chen Pu involuntarily repeated. A confused look appeared on her face, and she frowned and stared at the sentry suspiciously. In the more than half a month that the team fled and was transferred on the grassland, although they fantasized about meeting their own people all the time, except for crossing the Alegu River in the first two days to contain more than a dozen Zhao soldiers, they had never encountered other Zhao soldiers.
"It's your own people! General! One by one, they came out of Mogan! ”
“…… Moganzhai's? Chen Pu's eyes became a little confused and hollow, and he muttered, "What are they doing here?" ”
Then he obviously did not expect the general to ask this, and at once he was a little unable to answer, and jumped up and down on the ground with the restless agitation of the horses.
"Oh. ……”
Ran Linde had already seen that because the good news came too suddenly, Chen Zhuguo's mind might be a little dazed at this time. He coughed lightly, made a color to Liao Pheasant, who had his mouth open, and asked the detective: "How do you know that they are our own people?" Did they do it themselves, or did you check their official credentials? ”
The soldier finally pulled his foot out of the stirrups, and when he didn't step on it steadily, he fell on the ground, got up, and didn't even bother to slap the mud on his face, and said hurriedly: "My subordinates don't know! It was the banner of Wen Xiaowei's verification, and it was also Wen Xiaowei who asked me to come back first to report the news. ”
Ran Linde and Wang Yi glanced at each other, and they already had the words of the sentinel in their hearts. Wen Mu has always been cautious and steady in his work, and since he has recognized the identity of the other party, it seems that there will be no mistakes. Wang Yi's face had softened and asked, "How many of them are there?" ”
"Six or seven hundred."
Enough is enough! Wang Yi and Ran Linde exchanged glances, and there was a smile in their eyes. The two teams together can have 800 people, which is enough to destroy the grain team on the west side!
As soon as the competent men were arranged here to investigate the details of the Sudden Exhaustion Grain Team, more than six or seven horses had already rushed out of the night in the southeast direction, swept outside the city wall like a whirlwind and dismounted, and heard Wen Mu ask loudly in the dark: "Where is the general?" ”
One of the guards stepped forward and shouted, "The general is here!" Wang Yiran Linde had already led several officers to stand behind Chen Pu, and each stood up solemnly.
Several black shadows immediately followed the voice and hurried over, stood up and saluted when they approached, and signed up loudly: "Yanshan Left Army Battalion Captain Zheng Qi, Battalion Captain Liu Jizu, and Battalion Deputy Captain Wang Bao are all in sight of the general!" See General Ran! ”
At this time, Chen Pu had already eased up. Looking at these three people through the moonlight, they all looked tired and covered in blood, and they knew that they had also experienced a vicious battle, but they didn't know why the soldiers of Moganzhai suddenly appeared in this place, and which enemy they encountered again? How far is it from Moganzhai? …… She had countless questions in her mind, but she first comforted the three officers with gentle words, and replied, "The three adults have worked hard all the way. ”
The leading officer bowed his head slightly and replied, "It's not hard. As he spoke, he grinned miserably, and said, "As long as the general is okay!" As soon as we saw the general, even if we didn't run in vain this trip, Brigade Marshal Qi, Captain Zhou, and those brothers who died didn't die in vain......"
What are these words? Chen Pu furrowed his brows and looked at him suspiciously.
The officer swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said calmly: "We are the ...... sent by General Qu to meet the general and the left route army" Ten days ago, the news of the defeat of Li Wei's left route army reached Mogan, and the commander of Mogan Dazhai immediately sent a fast horse to inform Xiao Jian, the Shangzhu State under Heishui City, of this urgent military situation, and then sent a brigade to the west along the grain road to meet and contain the rout. “…… The left bank of the Heishui River was fine, there were not many enemies, just a team of 100 rangers, but it was not good to reach the right bank, and the cavalry of the Turquoise was overwhelming from the west, and there were too many men and horses to count. While we contained the soldiers along the way, we fought to the west, but the more we fought the enemy, the more we fought, and we could not get enough food, so we had to throw off the grain road and take the path. There are too many enemies, and they can bump into several groups in a day, and then they are all killed in battle...... "Speaking of this, the five big and three rough men actually wiped their tears, and the two officers next to him also lowered their heads sadly. The officer quickly raised his head and continued: "There is no replenishment of troops, and there is no supply of food, grass and ordnance. On the way, I fought with the enemy a few times, and I came here, who knew that I would meet the general here! I knew the general earlier...... We ......," he choked up again.
The three officers revealed their true feelings, Chen Pu was also very moved, his eyes were red and he was about to speak, Wang Yi stepped forward and interjected and asked, "How many soldiers do you still have?" ”
The officer wiped the tears and snot from his face, straightened his waist and said, "We still have six hundred and seventy-four people. He couldn't tell Wang Yi's rank from his armor and clothing, and after glancing at Wang Yi, he turned his gaze to Chen Pu. It's just that there are few horses, less than five hundred......"
Chen Pu was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice, "When you came out, how many people were there?" ”
The corners of the officer's eyes jumped a few times, and he said in a hoarse voice: "When they came out, there were more than 3,000 people in five battalions, and now there are only these people left......
It seemed that something slammed into Chen Pu's heart, and more than 11,200 people suddenly appeared in front of her eyes for a moment, just to save herself, and if she said no, it would be gone...... She settled her mind, as if she were comforting the officer in front of her, and as if she were comforting herself: "...... There must have been a lot of people who were separated in the melee, and maybe they had already found a way to retreat to Moganzhai. ......" Her voice grew lower and lower, and she couldn't say any more. Although she is not very proficient in military training, she can guess from the dense situation of the enemy on this grassland, and she can guess that the entire left wing of the Turks is almost out of the nest, just to keep the main force of the Zhao army on the grassland; In order to win this battle, the Turks could not even defend Uduo and Silla in the east...... Those lost soldiers may not have a chance to get out of the grassland alive.
The officer sighed, shook his head slightly, and did not answer.
They were sad here, and Wang Yi was already a little anxious. The dead cannot be resurrected, and the most important thing at the moment is for the living! He asked the officer again: "Where are your men now?" ”
The officer stared at him, but did not answer immediately. Ran Linde sighed in his heart and said to his old subordinates: "This is Wang Yi, the chief of the hussar army, and the general of Mingwei. ”
After all, the officer had a low position, and he didn't know that Chen Pu's identity as General Zhuguo was just a fictitious position that didn't care about practice, and after listening to Ran Linde's introduction, he just saluted Wang Yi with his two companions, and said "See General Wang", and then there was no follow-up, and he only looked at Chen Pu with his eyes. Wang Yi was worried about the food team of the people in the west, and he didn't care about these officers, so he lowered his voice and asked again: "Where are your people now?" ”
Wen Mu is the person who knows Wang Yi's temperament the most here, seeing that Yi Guogong's face was already flushed, and his eyes were narrowed into a slit, knowing that his attack was just a moment, he was afraid that a few colleagues would suffer, so he took a step forward and said: "General Wang, Captain Zheng and their soldiers are rushing over." ”
"Pass my orders and get them to come over as soon as possible!"
An officer glanced at him by the neck, snorted and said, "We have wounded soldiers, we can't go fast!" ”
"Leave the wounded soldiers behind first, and let the team hurry over......"
Before Wang Yi finished speaking, the officer slapped himself in the face, and said with a curse in his mouth: "Damn dead mosquitoes!" What is the Eastern ......" The leading officer raised his arm, gave another military salute to Chen Pu, interrupted his companion's words and said loudly: "The Third Brigade of Mogan Military Village, report to General Zhuguo, and wait for the general's dispatch!" ”
Chen Pu knew that these soldiers of Moganzhai had become angry with Wang Yi, and they would definitely not listen to Wang Yi's command anymore, so he had to say to Ran Linde: "It's better for General Linde to come." ”
Ran Linde didn't shirk either, said "yes", bowed his hand to Wang Yi again, took two steps forward and stood in the first place, his little eyes flashed with a bright light, and he looked around and said slowly: "Ten miles to the west, an enemy's grain team was found, and General Zhuguo decided to defeat this team one by one and snatch food supplies. Now, I announce the military order. Suddenly, led by Chen Pu, Wang Yiwenmu and other officers, stood solemnly in front of him. Captain Zheng Qi, Deputy Lieutenant Wang Bao, you immediately go back to reorganize the team, leave a team of people to protect the wounded and hide on the spot, and the rest of the soldiers immediately rush here to listen to the order. Captain Wen, reorganize the team and prepare for the battle. All the soldiers have heard, from now on, no fire, no noisy conversation, no rash action, and the horses must be chewed! If anyone dares not to obey the military order, one by one" Two cold lights burst out of his eyes, and he looked at the lieutenant Wang Bao from Chen Pu's face, and smiled with a hideous face, as if he was a family affair, "Don't blame my surname Ran for being ruthless." ”
"Yes!"
…… Mo Gan's soldiers had just arrived, and the team had not yet been organized, and the outposts over there had already rushed back.
"General, the enemy's food convoy has suddenly changed direction, and now it is coming towards us!"
