0120 The battle of the smart and the smart
Ma Zhong saw the situation in Poyang County very clearly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After the news of Sun Jiangdong's victory on the front line spread, the commander of Poyang, You Tu, would definitely choose to take advantage of the return of the expeditionary army to eliminate the living forces in Poyang as much as possible.
He Qi and Chen Wu, who were in the midst of the fire, undoubtedly provided him with a heaven-sent opportunity.
If Ma Zhong was not mistaken, after a slight sweep of the surrounding area, You Tu's outstretched tentacles would retract, and he would immediately go north from Yu Khan to seek a decisive battle.
The Wanderers went all the way to the southeast, and as long as they were not crushed, the longer they could hold out, the less pressure they would be subjected to.
Although chasing Peng Cai is very risky, the benefits are attractive enough.
Seeing that what Ma Zhong said was not impulsive, Bailichuan and Zhang Tang whispered for a while, and decided to give it a try according to his ideas.
The most reliable men of the prodigal army were selected, and Ma Zhong had the horses drawn from the camp and they were put on one by one to try.
Ma Zhong didn't expect these people to be able to gallop on horses, as long as they could make full use of their horses to maintain their mobility.
These guys are very agile and don't have anything to do with riding on horses.
Ma Zhong nodded with satisfaction, and instructed them a few more words, "Be sure to pay attention to safety, and don't get too close to them." Their brigade of thousands of people, the traces of walking will be very obvious, as long as you don't catch up with the heavy rain, you will hardly lose after you. When investigating, try to spread out as much as possible to ensure the coverage area, so as not to be outflanked by people who turn around and are all arrested. ”
Several of the healthy soldiers agreed.
Ma Zhong thought for a while and said, "You guys go to follow it now, if you walk out of twenty miles and you haven't seen the figure of Yuzhang thief, then let someone report it." Remember to echo along the way so you don't lose contact. ”
Zhang Tang couldn't help but say, "If Mengguo's Fengzi camp is here, I don't know how much worry I have to worry about." ”
This also reminded Ma Zhong, and he said one more word, "Pay attention to the movements of the Fengzi Battalion, and once you see our secret agent, let him come back to see me immediately." ”
There is still a high probability that these sentry sentries will encounter the scouts of the Wind Word Battalion.
Because the south is barren, if you want to transport manpower and materials on a large scale, except for fixed roads, most of the other places are intertwined dense woods, which are almost impassable.
The scouts of the Wind Word Battalion are usually lurking at the nodes of various roads.
After sending away the sentry detectives, everything was quiet, Ma Zhong, Zhang Tang, and Bailichuan looked at each other, and then they sighed in unison and cleaned up the mess in front of them.
The first thing to do is to move the camp, and this camp in Bainiling can no longer stay. It's the height of summer, and with so many dead bodies piled up here, it's very easy to get sick.
Decomposing corpses can also contaminate groundwater and cause more trouble.
Bailichuan went to count the remaining number of people in the Shanzi camp with a heavy heart, and Zhang Tang organized those strong laborers to load all the food tools into the truck.
Among the burned, indistinguishable corpses were many soldiers from the Wandering Army, as well as old and weak women and children, and now everyone was tired, and no one proposed to sort the corpses.
Those who had loved ones who died in this battle just looked sadly at the burned wall, and then went about what they needed to do next.
For them, it's already a natural thing. It's not easy to survive in troubled times, and maybe they just live until the next battle.
Bailichuan counted the families in the army, and then began to form a formation, leading them out of the camp in the first batch. When passing by the corpses, the women covered the children's eyes tightly, and they only dared to look straight ahead.
Fan Jiang and Zhang Da led the construction team to work hard to clear out a road that was convenient for large vehicles to enter and exit.
Because of the large decrease in the number of men, they can no longer bring so many supplies, except for food and some necessary supplies, other simple and stupid things that can be collected can only be discarded.
Cars were parked on the hillside outside, and the women and children were waiting in fear.
Ma Zhong took Bailichuan and Zhang Tang to inspect together, and when he confirmed that there was nothing to bring with him, he left the village.
Ma Zhong ordered the gate to be re-nailed. He watched in silence, and handed over the heroic lives that burned and bloomed on the White Ni Ridge to the wind, water, and time.
A dull and oppressive atmosphere haunted the remnant of the defeated army, and although tired, no one wanted to rest here.
has been silently walking out of more than ten miles, and a sentry on horseback came to him.
Ma Zhong sent someone to ask, Peng Cai didn't play any tricks, he left straight with the people, it is said that he was in a hurry and a little embarrassed.
"Did you dump me?" The corners of Ma Zhong's mouth hooked slightly.
He wasn't in a hurry, even if it was a day or two slower than Peng, none of this was a problem.
Like a shrewd hyena, he drove the wounded lion to hunt, while he stood by and watched greedily, considering whether to storm the weary lion or get a piece of the dead prey.
He will not give the lion enough time to rest, nor will he let the lion eat to his satisfaction.
For the lion, it is not impossible to spell out the hyena, but after the same heavy damage, it will make it unsafe on the grassland.
Therefore, his smartest thing to do is to hunt as soon as possible, eat as soon as possible, and adjust his energy as soon as possible, so as to bite the hyena to death, eat it, and turn it into his own nutrition without much effort.
They both understand each other's intentions.
The hyena's confidence lies in the fact that the lion will not choose to die with a hyena, especially if the hyena does not care whether it lives or dies.
For lions, hyenas don't matter at all, as long as they recover themselves, they can easily solve this little trouble.
This is a game between smart people, and there is a war between Ma Zhong and Peng Cai.
This war is happening all the time, and both men are using their wits and keen insight into the fighters.
This war could involve both armies in the battlefield of the two of them at any time, and they were both carefully deciding when to put in the chips and when to walk away without hesitation.
After listening to the report of the sentry, Ma Zhong was temporarily relieved.
So-so, he confirmed the direction of the mountain, and estimated that it was no longer a water vein with Bainiling, so Ma Zhong ordered to set up camp.
Most of the baggage used for camping was abandoned in that camp, and Zhang Tang personally led people to cut wood, while Li Sizheng stepped up his time to find a bamboo forest and re-nail bamboo rows. This convenient semi-finished product, which was fully used in this battle. The third camp was built in less than an hour, which was almost unthinkable before.
Wang Li led the army out to hunt, and by the way, he ensured the safety of the surroundings.
Bailichuan makes people set up a large pot and start boiling food.
Ma Zhong got this free time, and he didn't think much about it, and leaned under a tree and fell asleep.
