Chapter 274: Pursuing Wu Huan
Badun led the Wuhuan soldiers all the way to hurry, and after entering the territory of Tang County, he was even more cautious. Fifty miles northwest of the county seat of Tang County, there is a valley. In the valley, the women stolen by the Wuhuan soldiers from all over the country were imprisoned, and the money and property stolen by the Wuhuan soldiers from all over Jizhou were also hidden. There were about 400 Wuhuan soldiers left behind, and these soldiers were also careful not to expose their whereabouts.
At the mouth of the valley, several Wuhuan soldiers were patrolling.
Suddenly, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves outside the mountain, and the patrolling soldiers immediately cheered up.
Following the prestige, I found that it was the Wuhuan soldiers.
The soldiers on patrol breathed a sigh of relief, but they felt strange at once, because there were not many Wuhuan soldiers who came back, only a few hundred. Not only that, but all the Wuhuan soldiers who rushed back were very embarrassed.
After a short time, the Wuhuan soldiers arrived at the mouth of the valley.
Badon stopped at the mouth of the valley, turned over and dismounted.
The patrolling soldiers immediately came to lead the horses, and Su Fuyan and the rest of the soldiers also quickly dismounted.
Not long after, the Wuhuan generals who stayed in the valley arrived. Seeing the situation of Badun, the Wuhuan generals who stayed behind were startled, and before they had time to inquire about the situation, Badun directly ordered: "Prepare meat!" ”
The general received the order and immediately went to prepare.
Back in the valley, Gatton and the soldiers who had rushed back sat down to rest.
It didn't take long for the steaming meat to be served, smoky and smelling of meat. Ignoring the hot meat, the soldiers grabbed the meat like a starving ghost reincarnated, and kept mouthing. He grabbed a large piece of meat in his left and right hands, and while gnawing on it, he said, "Su Fuyan, on the way back, I was afraid that something would go wrong, but now I can finally take a breath." ”
Su Muyan is the same, his mouth is full of oil, regardless of his image.
After the group had eaten and drunk enough, they thought about lying down, and no longer had the heart and energy to play with women.
Badon ordered a day's rest in the valley before setting off for the next day.
Thirty miles away from the valley, Wang Lei arrived with the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion. After the sentinel probed the situation in the valley, he came back and reported: "My lord, there are about 400 Wuhuan soldiers left behind, and there are a lot of women and children who are being detained, almost all of them are women. Due to the large number of people, the specific situation is not clear, but it is certain that there are more than 1,000 people. ”
Wang Lei calculated carefully, counting the hundreds of Wuhuan soldiers who fled back in embarrassment, and there were more than 1,000 Wuhuan soldiers.
Such a force can't stop the Flying Tiger Battalion.
Wang Lei could not attack head-on, and once he attacked head-on, the women and children who were imprisoned would be harmed. Once the dog is forced to jump over the wall, things are even more difficult to handle.
Dian Wei said: "Lord, what are you going to do?" ”
Wang Lei paced back and forth in place and said: "Let me think about it, for the safety of the people, we must think of a foolproof strategy, otherwise it will be difficult to save the imprisoned people." ”
Dian Wei shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "It's easy to defeat the Wuhuan soldiers, you only need to kill the Flying Tiger Battalion." But we only have the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and it is almost impossible to scare the Wuhuan soldiers into giving up the people on their own initiative. ”
Wang Lei agreed with Dian Wei's statement and thought carefully.
A foolproof solution must be devought!
The purpose of the pursuit of Bunton was twofold, one was to rescue the trapped women and children, and the other was to annihilate the Wuhuan soldiers. If he didn't care about the safety of women and children, Wang Lei wouldn't have to follow him thousands of miles away, and he would have been able to annihilate Badun and the others a long time ago.
The safety of the people comes first.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Wang Lei's mind, and he ordered: "Call the sentinel!" ”
The soldiers who inquired about the news came running and saluted with their fists folded.
Wang Lei's eyes were excited, and he hurriedly ordered: "Immediately go and investigate the road situation of the Wuhuan soldiers' next retreat, and the valleys, woods, and lakes along the way must be carefully explored." After checking it out, come back and report the news as soon as possible. After a pause, Wang Lei said again: "Badun didn't rush immediately, he must be resting, but it is impossible for Badun to stay for too long, and the news must be sent back today." ”
"Understood!"
The sentinel nodded heavily and went to carry out Wang Lei's order.
A team of sentry spies disappeared from sight, and Wang Lei sat down and continued to refine the idea in his heart.
Dian Wei asked, "Lord, have you thought of a way?" ”
Wang Lei nodded in response, and said with a smile: "There is an immature strategy, but if you want to improve the plan, you have to cooperate with the terrain in the rear, otherwise it will be difficult for the Wuhuan soldiers to give up the people under their control." ”
Dian Wei no longer asked, as long as Wang Lei had an idea, he was only responsible for charging into battle.
In the evening, the sun sets.
The sentry rushed back, came to Wang Lei, and reported: "My lord, the radius of twenty miles in the direction of the retreat has been fully investigated. There were no valleys on the retreat road, most of them were vast roads, and there was a lake, but because of the weather, the lake was frozen. In addition to this, there are many withered woods, well, and a large bamboo forest. ”
"Bamboo forest?"
Wang Lei's eyes lit up, and his heart fluttered.
Unlike bamboo, which is almost dead in winter, it is still evergreen in winter.
This place can be used, although his troops are insufficient to use it for ambushes, but as part of the plan, it can also be used. Wang Lei made a decision in his heart, gathered the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion under his command, and immediately made detailed arrangements.
That night, some of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion left and continued their journey in the cold night.
Wang Lei stayed where he was with his soldiers, waiting for the next day.
The next morning, the sky was clear, there was no snow, but the sun was shining. The warm winter sun shines on the body, it is extremely warm and very comfortable. I slept until I was exposed to the sun for three poles before I got up, stretched my waist, and felt comfortable. Withdrawing from Changshan Country, he was cautious all the way, and it was difficult to have time to rest.
This time, I finally slept comfortably for the night and replenished my spirit.
After a simple wash of his face, he ate some meat to fill his stomach, and then gathered his soldiers and took out all the belongings, as well as all the women.
On this trip to the south, he looted countless belongings, which were full of eighty large boxes.
Carriages carried boxes, and the procession was long and winding like a long snake. In addition, thousands of women and children were caught together, and all the women had ropes on their feet, all tied together to prevent the captors from escaping.
In the days when they were arrested, women and children lived an inhuman life.
Led out and on their way, the women wept and wept, their cries echoed, and they whimpered and were heartbroken.
He looked at the women and children, and there was no sympathy in his eyes, only coldness. In addition, there is a strong desire-longing, when he came back yesterday he was exhausted and didn't have the heart to play with women, and after a night of adjustment, he regained his spirits.
Now that he is in a hurry, he didn't move his hands and feet.
Rushing north from Tang County, the speed was very slow due to the large number of goods and women and children escorted. In order to ensure safety, Badun had already sent someone to rush back first, notify Qiu Liju, and let Qiu Liju send someone to answer. In the afternoon, looking at the position of the sun, around Mo Shenshi, the team led by Bunton approached the bamboo forest.
This bamboo forest is very large, at least more than five or six acres of land. The vast land suddenly appeared a green scene, which was very comfortable and made people feel comfortable.
Badun commanded, "Speed up and rest in the bamboo forest ahead." ”
The soldier got the order and ran to the soldier who was escorting the woman and the goods along the road to deliver the news.
