NO.16 Twice Beacon Smoke Rescue Quartermaster (II)

6

The next day, Mo Huan relieved the fatigue of the battle, and went out of the camp with the scouts early in the morning to investigate the enemy's situation. I saw that the military camp of Beifeng had stood in the north of the city overnight, and Shi Fei's military flag was flying high above the camp. Looking at the layout of the walled city, the two armies, one large and one small, are like crabs, clamping the road to the north. The large camp was in front, with wooden walls and towers as a barrier to meet the enemy head-on, and at the same time guarded the northern side of the sea, with large ships and remnants of ships guarding the route to the north; The partial battalion is behind, which can support the large battalion at any time, and at the same time connect the road into the mountain, which can be described as both offensive and defensive.

After returning to the camp, Mo Huan learned from the quartermaster that the supplies should arrive on the fifth day of October, that is, today, according to the original plan. According to the situation he knew when he left, if this batch of supplies could not be supplied, I am afraid that Yuan Xian's army would not last three or five days and would run out of ammunition and food. At this moment, if the scouts are sent back to Shanhaiguan to ask for help, I am afraid that Yuan Xian and others will have no food and grass to eat by the time the reinforcements arrive, and it will take about two or three days for the supplies to arrive.

Obviously, grain and grass must be delivered before the tenth day of the new year. However, after the previous battle, the 5,000 soldiers and horses that were originally put together can now fight only more than 3,000, and the siege equipment is only a dozen bed crossbows and three catapults left except for two Xiangyang guns that are so heavy that they can't be expected to be transported to the front line. If you want to take the sea route, there are basically some transportation ships in Jieshi City, and if they are found, they will basically all be buried in the sea.

"Could it be that this is really a hurdle that I can't get over?" The joy of yesterday's big victory seemed to have no sense of existence in the face of such a grim reality, and as soon as he came back, Mo Huan locked himself in the house, only facing a sand table, and didn't think about tea and dinner all day.

This is no bigger than the Red Dragon Army's battalion, except for himself, he is basically a new officer, or simply an artificial intelligence, and no one can help him with advice at this time. Not to mention advice, I'm afraid there are not even many people who can understand her mind at this moment. At this point, this place is not even better than Zhong Min in the middle of a group of scum in the lower city.

All fighters need to master the right time, place and people, and the time is not as good as the place, and the place is not as good as the people, Mo Huan's thinking is always inseparable from the basic art of war, perhaps this is related to the fact that she has been making up for the war since she came to Shuoguo. "Today I saw these two large battalions, there seems to be a slight difference in the clothing of the personnel, maybe the people of the fleet are camped with Shi Fei's own part, although they are both under the banner of Shi Fei. No, in yesterday's naval battle, I remember that the flag on the building ship was not Shi Fei's, could it be that its commander was killed in yesterday's battle? In this way, there will be a rift between the two battalions? ”

Thinking so, Mo Huan hurriedly summoned the heralds, and ordered Hai Chu to go out of the north gate and enter the mountain road to attack the Beifeng camp.

However, although the herald said that the attack on the partial camp was really timely, Mo Huan only led the troops to two or three miles outside the partial camp, and vaguely saw the situation of the camp clearly, so he ordered the drum to be beaten, and tied the branches with 500 cavalry, and feinted with rockets.

The branches that mopped the floor soon kicked up billowing smoke and dust, coupled with the thunderous drums and rockets in the sky, and for a moment it was impossible to figure out how many people were attacking the camp. In a few moments, the scouts who had been arranged in advance near the camp arrived and reported that the camp had sent reinforcements. At this point, Mo Huan quickly ordered everyone to stop, and the whole army quickly returned to the city.

After tossing and turning overnight, Mo Huan knew that Shi Fei should have made a defensive plan early, if he attacked the partial camp, the main battalion would dispatch about 3,000 soldiers and horses to rescue, so even if the soldiers and horses in the stone poured out, it would be difficult to quickly distinguish the victory or defeat in the partial camp. At the same time, the 3,000 soldiers and horses left behind by the main battalion could not only prevent Mo Huansheng from attacking the east and west, but also choose to attack Jieshi with empty troops after finding out the situation. In this way, it seems that the method of blocking the road of these two battalions is indeed seamless.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden strong wind, and Mo Huan, who was already sleepless, was repeatedly tossed and turned by the sound of the wind. Mo Huan hated that this wind didn't come earlier, if the naval battle wind was of this size that day, I am afraid that the fleet of 10,000 people would be burned in an instant. But then she thought about whether such a strong wind could burn down the two camps that blocked the road, after all, the northwest side of the camp was a mountain forest. However, the two battalions were five miles apart, and it was difficult for the wind to blow the fire through the tidal flats of five miles, and at most it would carry the smoke and dust over.

"However, now that there is smoke and dust, can we use this to design an ambush between the two battalions? After all, it is only five miles away, and if the battle cannot be resolved quickly, as soon as the second batch of reinforcements arrives, our army will immediately be at a disadvantage. If not to set up an ambush, but to take advantage of the chaos to make the supply team pass? It's still not possible, the road to the north overlaps with its reinforcements, and it's easy to take a ......."

Thinking about it like this, I don't know when Mo Huan gradually fell into a dream. In her dream, she saw that she was surrounded by several gray wolves, and if she didn't kill one, that one would instantly turn to ashes, and then float to another place and transform into shape. I had no choice but to run while killing, and I couldn't run until dawn, when I suddenly saw a thin but agile white wolf behind the wolves. Seeing that the white wolf intended to dodge, Mo Huan shot the white wolf with a bow and an arrow, only to see the white wolf bleeding and falling, and the rest of the gray wolves disappeared in an instant.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, thinking back to a night's thoughts and strange dreams, Mo Huan suddenly called out to the herald. When the herald arrived, he saw Mo Huan sitting on the floor with unkempt hair and pajamas on her body, but such a sloppy appearance could not hide her excited look.

"The whole military academy is assembled, I have something to say."

The cold wind was still cold until noon, and although the sun was shining, there was no trace of warmth. Mo Huan came to the high platform of the school yard in a military uniform, looked up and saw the black and red one-yuan pan dragon flag, which couldn't stop moving under the blue sky, and looked down at the rows of black armor flashing with cyan blue light, and then looked at the distant eyes and thousands of miles of mountains and fields were confused, and the sea was rolling.

"When I see you on campus today, it's very different from when I first saw you. After the battle in the south of the city the day before yesterday, you all seem to have been tempered and the blade is newly opened, and I am not the hairy little general some time ago, and I have the lives of hundreds of thousands of brothers on my shoulders. Here I may call you brothers, and brothers may call me the same, because the day before yesterday we gave each other's lives for victory.

"Now that my life has been delivered, I am compelled to speak of today's events. Although our army won a great victory the day before yesterday, it did not defeat Shi Fei's entire army, and the battle of Jieshi had not yet been completed. As you should all know, the purpose of our garrison is to protect the supply routes. At this moment, Shi Fei choked me with two battalions, and it was difficult for the army to advance north, and in a few days, our army would be in trouble because of the lack of ammunition and food.

"I see you as brothers and sisters, but I see mission more than life. Today, Mo Huan hereby asks you to entrust your lives to me and break through with me in the north. The whole army should be desperate to protect the supplies with my life, and then die! ”

The twilight was deep, and thousands of black armor wrapped in strips of cloth reflected the red afterglow on the gravel road between the tidal flats, and the smoke rose not far to the north, surging down the mountain wind, and soon the endless coastal corridor became hazy. Another gust of wind blew violently, and the wildfires instantly became one, more dazzling than the sunset in the west. The smoke quickly sank, enveloping everything in front of him in blue and white. A panicked alarm bell in the distance was remembered, mixed with shouts, coughs, and the sound of things colliding.

Mo Huan judged that Shi Fei's partial camp was not far away, so he ordered five hundred foot soldiers to sneak up and attack the fire-fighting Beifeng Army with the thick smoke, while he himself moved southeast with the rest of the people.

After a while, the noisy sound of horses' hooves sounded in pieces, and in the thick smoke, Mo Huan could only distinguish the position of these cavalrymen by the sound. From the faint sound of the waves to the rumbling of thunder to the slight trembling of the stones, Mo Huan released the arrows, and saw countless arrows flying into the smoke and dust, and then heard the continuous howling and neighing of horses.

"Red Dragon's infantry, rush forward!" Under Mo Huan's order, she couldn't see how many soldiers showed their long knives and ran towards the enemy formation, and she didn't know what kind of fight they would experience when they disappeared into the smoke, she only knew that although the swords and soldiers were ringing in the drum horn at this moment, and the sound of rushing and killing and shouting shook the heavens and the earth, everything would fall silent when the smoke cleared.

"The rest of the brothers come with me!" Mo Huan shouted and continued to lead his troops south.

The smoke in the Beifeng camp gradually thickened, Shi Fei walked out of the big tent and looked to the north, looking at the mountain fire that was spreading, and marveled at Mo Huan, a young general, who would attack himself twice with fire.

"What is the situation now, how many places are the enemy, how many enemies are there?" Shi Fei summoned scouts from all sides to try to grasp the overall situation.

"Back to the general, the south side of the camp to meet the enemy, the specific number is unknown, about 1,000, I touched it on the way to fight the fire."

"General Yu, the southeast road of the partial battalion is receiving the enemy, the number is unknown, and I am blocking the reinforcements supporting the partial battalion."

"Attack the partial battalion first and then block the reinforcements, and use the mountain fire as a trick? I do have some ideas, but I'm still a little bit closer. Shi Fei secretly thought in his heart, and then ordered: "Pass my order, the second hussar team will go with me to fight and copy their back road!" ”

However, when the general ordered the party, he heard a loud noise, and saw a fire on the east side of the camp. In the blink of an eye, I saw another fireball falling from the sky, instantly burying a watchtower into a sea of fire. Immediately after the alarm bell rang, the sound of killing was everywhere, and the east camp gate flashed with swords and swords in a cloud of smoke and dust.

"Report!" The scout dragged a long voice and ran to Shi Fei, "Report to the general, the battalion east is attacking the Shuoguo army, the number is unknown." ”

"Unknown number again?" Shi Fei looked at the Dongying Gate that gradually disappeared from view, and suddenly realized that Mo Huan's attack was not so simple. "How many of you can see Mo Huan?" She asked, and the scouts replied that they had never seen it before.

"Igniting a mountain fire, feintting to attack a partial camp, intercepting reinforcements and attacking my large camp, as far as I know, she should not have so many troops at her disposal to solve these battlefields separately. Where is the feint and where is her purpose...... Her purpose ......" Shi Fei came to her senses in an instant when she thought about it, she clearly knew that Mo Huan's purpose was only to transport military supplies. However, now that the wildfires are in full swing and sinking in the west, how can we know the movements of the military quartermasters, except for the smoke that has been stained brick-red by the fires, and nothing else can be seen clearly?

Shi Fei walked back to the tent quickly, took a handkerchief and dipped it in water to cover his mouth and nose, and then wandered in front of the map. She marked the locations of the battles that had just been reported, and circled the range of the wildfires, but there were still several locations that she could not observe. Suddenly, she slapped her head, "I'm not stunned by her, if she wants to transport goods and food, how can the military quartermaster of the 60,000 army just say that it is not convenient to leave?" Just break the smoke screen, and she will be like an egg in front of me. ”

At the same time, when all the three battlefields were engaged, Mo Huan led the convoy that had already been assembled to bypass the battlefield and march northeast, and walked for nearly half an hour before feeling the smoke gradually fade. The deep blue night sky is clearer, the wind is clearer, and you can see the hills, wheat fields and the churning sea in the distance.

"General, I'm going to look for you, and now these supplies should be enough for you to take the Tuhe."

Mo Huan rode a fast horse, and hundreds of carriages rushed out of the smoke screen briskly. However, just when everyone thought they had broken through the defense line, the faint sound of vibration behind them shocked everyone's hearts. Mo Huan turned his head and saw the blue and white banners held high in the dark red smoke screen, and hundreds of cavalry were flying horses to kill.

"Quick, stop them with me!" Mo Huan had less than 100 horsemen around her, and the rest were coachmen who pulled the quartermasters, but she still felt that she was rushing back. But just as the group turned around to face the battle, the sound of reining horses suddenly came from the head carriage, and hundreds of carriages stopped in an instant.

"What's the situation?"

Mo Huan turned around again, and saw more than 100 cavalry standing in front of the convoy, a blue and white three-piece snowflake flag fluttering in the wind, and the female general wearing fine armor was Shi Fei.

"Little girl, escape from my hands, you are still a little tender!" The howling wind conveyed Shi Fei's words very clearly.

"I can't imagine that I still can't escape the fight with you!" For some reason, Mo Huan's face was also filled with excitement and joy at this time.
