Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Action Begins

Luo Bai expected to hold on for twenty days, but these twenty days of confrontation required him to respond in one night, or even less than one night.

It was a difficult task to complete, after all, he had to be distracted from the situation of the entire Benlei Battalion. In case Sun De really came to make a surprise attack, he had to ensure that he would take down the vanguard order before Sun De's entire army was destroyed, so that at least he would not lose too badly.

But it's not yet midnight, and Sunde's attack is unlikely.

Outside the tent, the wind howled. Inside the tent, the deduction continued.

The night passed quickly, and Luo Bai was awakened.

He didn't take off his armor and watched the snow in the sky.

"Good news, my lord! We moved in the early hours of the morning and burned three pontoon bridges and two vehicles and ships. ”

Luo Bai immediately asked, "Then did they catch up?" ”

Xue Lingkong shook his head.

Luo Bai snorted coldly: "It's really stable enough to not pursue such a big loss." ”

"How's their water and land camp going?"

"There are five water camps, and two land camps have been built."

He was silent, his eyes kept looking at the sandbox.

"Two land battalions can't hold 200,000 troops. It was getting colder, and they couldn't stay on board all the time. If I were their commander-in-chief, after yesterday's temptation, I would definitely choose to attack, and only by occupying one place could I rely on it. ”

"Then their next target should be Shuiyuan Village."

He immediately stood up, looked at Shuiyuan Village on the sand table, and said to Xue Lingkong: "Tell the soldiers of the three battalions to continue to disturb them." But don't go out together again, one battalion is dispatched, one battalion is helping, and one battalion is ambushed in Shuiyuan Village. ”

Luo Bai predicted that by tomorrow at the latest, or even today, Feng Chengping's army would all land. Then rest for a day or two, and the first big battle may begin.

The good thing now is that the enemy has not yet discovered the existence of cavalry, otherwise it will be even more difficult.

Thinking of this, he suddenly asked, "Isn't there any news from the South Shore yet?" ”

"Nope!"

Luo Bai exhaled slightly.

It seems that Feng Chengping does have a tactical mind, but his understanding of strategy is still insufficient. At the very least, the southern city of Abundance City is more strategically valuable than the northern city.

"The flying pigeon tells them to hide well, and they are not allowed to be exposed without an order, and they are not allowed to return to Fengyu City!"

"Yes!"

After setting up the outside of the city, he looked inside the city again.

Now that the enemy army is about to attack the city, it is still the northern city, and according to the current city defense facilities, the northern city may not be able to cope with it.

"Gather the craftsmen in the city and strengthen the city defenses."

"Mobilize arsenals and armaments to enrich the northern city."

He was still worried about the safety of Nancheng, and did not mobilize the 30,000 people from Nancheng to Beicheng.

But he had already noticed the situation in the northern city.

"Now the situation in Beicheng is critical, and I want to go to Beicheng to take command."

There were only 20,000 soldiers defending the city in the northern city. But the fighters who were really on the front line were only fifteen thousand. After all, the remaining 5,000 sailors were still guarding the dock and did not go to the city wall to defend.

"It's daylight, so it's time to see what their water camp is doing, right?"

"There are five water camps on the north shore, and each water camp surrounds thirty vehicles and ships. The vehicles and ships are linked by chains to become a whole. The remaining 300 or so vehicles and ships were docked inside and outside the water camp. The company camp on the north shore was nearly twenty miles, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and all of them were their warships. And they have already begun to carry grain and grass from ships. ”

Grain and grass?

This is the first time Luo Bai has obtained the other party's grain and grass.

"How many?"

"They were carrying after the attack last night, and until now, I'm afraid there will be no less than 30,000 stone of grain."

So much?

That's enough for 200,000 people to eat for seven or eight days!

"Still moving?"

"Yes!"

Grain is hoarded on the North Shore, and this is to fight them to the death in the North City.

"Now speed up the construction of the fortifications in the northern city, arrange all the machinery, and transport it in place."

"Since they dare to come to raid, they must have made all preparations, and their siege equipment must be on the ship. Ladders and siege engines will also appear one after another, so that they can pay close attention and report at any time. ”

Now the situation is becoming more and more critical, and 50,000 men defend such a large city. Although he took advantage of the right time, place and people, Luo Bai always felt that he had no bottom in his heart, and he always felt that something bad was happening.

And the feeling is very urgent, as if it will happen soon.

But this concern does not seem to be due to the deduction itself.

Could it be that Sun De is here?

Twenty miles west of the Benlei camp, Sun De led the raiding sixty warriors to stand in the wind.

They had been waiting for a long time, and their faces were already purple and blue.

Finally, the sound of horses' hooves was remembered in front of him, and Sun De's eyes lit up, and he shouted softly: "Attention! ”

Everyone took off their bows and arrows and prepared to meet the enemy.

There were two people who came, Nan Qiyun and Feng Ping.

The crowd disarmed.

Sun De stepped forward.

"Is the message accurate?"

Nan Qiyun nodded and said, "Our people have taken advantage of the strong wind to lurk in, and they are sure that it is true." ”

Sun De looked at it with burning eyes, as if he had doubts about the accuracy of this sentence.

Nan Qiyun's face sank, and he continued: "According to Sheng Shige's intelligence, now in the entire Benlei Camp, except for the flickering torches in the open air, only the Chinese military tent is brightly lit!" ”

Sun De could hear what this meant.

"That is to say, now the command of the Benlei Battalion is carrying out deductions in the Chinese military tent, right?"

When everyone is relaxed, less is more, and they should plan well. Now that the right time and place are on their side, there is no reason for them to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Although it was only the second day of the five-day period, they couldn't wait.

"But today their patrols have been strengthened, and they should have taken precautions in advance."

In order to make sure that this desperate operation could succeed, Sheng Shige's five-person team and Nan Qiyun's ten-person team all took advantage of the strong wind to sneak in and make a final exploration.

"Other than that, not much has changed."

Sun De looked at the two of them and said, "Brother Feng, Brother Nan, are you ready?" ”

Feng Ping said: "Brother Sun, my people are ready to attack the southeast camp at any time and create opportunities for you." ”

Nan Qiyun also nodded and said, "The entrance to the southwest military camp, we can control it at any time." ”

Sun De smiled: "Both, I know that you are not convinced by the division of troops this time, I will convince you!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Feng Ping and Nan Qiyun's faces suddenly turned ugly.

If it weren't for the overall situation, they wouldn't have wanted to do it a long time ago. Thinking that I ventured in and did so much, only to end up with such a sentence, the anger in my heart can be imagined.

Nan Qiyun was about to make a move in a fit of anger, but was stopped by Feng Ping.

Sun De looked at the appearance of the two of them, and said arrogantly again: "Let's go!" ”

The team of sixty people disappeared into the wind in the blink of an eye.

Nan Qiyun shook off Feng Ping's hand and said angrily: "Brother Feng, what are you afraid of him doing?" ”

Feng Ping looked at the direction Sun De left and said, "For this kind of person, it's not worth your anger." In the Xia Dynasty Army, if you want to be recognized, you don't have to have a strong mouth, you have to have military qualifications. ”

Nan Qiyun smiled bitterly: "I understand all of this, but what can I do?" They became, they were also the first to work, and we drank some soup at most. On the contrary, if we fail, we can be pushed out and say that there is a problem with our intelligence, which will cause the defeat. I see that from the beginning to the end, we are making wedding garments for others. ”

The wind is still blowing, and those who blow can't open their eyes.

Suddenly the snowflakes fell, and Feng Ping and the two looked up.

"Ruixue is a good year, this is a good sign."

Nan Qiyun grew up in the south since he was a child, and he is still very curious about snow. But after being happy for a while, he said dejectedly: "I just don't know if this harvest year is ours or someone else?" ”

Feng Ping's face has not changed, and he has always been tepid.

"As soon as the snow falls, it's getting heavier and heavier, and it looks like it's really a big brawl tonight."

"yes, I don't know what happened to Sheng Shige and them?"

"His first fire tonight is not easy to burn......"

……

Benlei Battalion, the camp of the Fire Head Army.

Sheng Shige has not found a place to put grain and grass until now.

Mu Yichu is much more relaxed now than before.

Without having to cook for the emperor, he could finally go to bed early and get up early.

After his routine check-up, he was about to go back to rest, but was stopped by someone.

"Master Mu, tonight's push show was a bit unexpected, please make a little more supper, and we'll come and pick it up later."

Mu Yichu was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "Haven't you already done it?" Can't it be enough? ”

There are only a dozen people participating in the deduction, and even if there are adults who are overseers, there will be no more than thirty people, but they have made a meal for fifty people, how can it not be enough?

The person who came seemed a little embarrassed: "We don't know the specific situation, it seems that someone has eaten several people's meals alone, and the adults are afraid that the amount of food will not be enough, so they let me come over in advance to inform them." ”

Mu Yichu walked into the tent with a scolding at this time, called Tu Shuangdao, and prepared to cook.

After the two left, Sheng Shige emerged in the darkness not far away, glanced at Mu Yichu and the two, and followed the previous herald.

Now it's time to get your hands dirty.
