Chapter 165 [Reduction of Stove Meter]

It's okay to ask for a monthly pass and give a few recommended tickets, thank you.

Will there be no wind on the grassland? There seemed to be a huge hot steamer between heaven and earth, enveloping everyone, and even the most elite Yiqu cavalry could not bear it, so they had to remove their leather armor and tighten the reins of their horses; The war horses are shaking, and they can't run out of a straight line at all, and if they run any longer, they will definitely die suddenly, and the unlucky ones who fall off the horse will be trampled into meat by their own people.

Looking at the drum fighting ordnance scattered on the grass, Mu Xijing frowned slightly. This is a strange thing that has never been seen before, it has been chased for forty miles, and even the best Yiqu war horses have begun to foam at the mouth, but they still can't catch up with the Qin army, are these guys rabbits?

"Brother Wang, this matter is too strange, the Qin army is mostly foot soldiers, how can they go so fast? Could it be that there is fraud in it? ”

"Xijing, you're too suspicious. The other party is fleeing for his life, like a wounded rabbit, and even faster than a hungry wolf; What's more, our army was dragged by those 2,000 Yongdu elite horsemen to fight the battle, and the mental strength was greatly consumed, and the war horses were tired, so it was normal that they could not catch up today. Pass my order, the army will camp here, and when the mental strength is restored tomorrow, then catch up with the Qin army, and capture Na Fungai and Yingqu Liang alive! ”

Xijing is still too cautious, so it is said that Chinese people should read books, but they should not read too much, otherwise they will become elm heads; Mu Zhongtu glanced at his brother and shook his head slightly.

The Yiqu people rested well this night, and even the vigilant rangers were half as short as before. The Qin army was defeated, Pang Juan was still far away, if he wasn't worried about what to do, he wouldn't even need these vigilant rangers.

Wake up early in the morning. Mu Zhongtu happily ate two roast leg of lamb. Walk to the carriage where Mu Zhuobei and the ink line are bound. grabbed her hair fiercely, kissed her the face, then laughed and jumped on his horse, commanded his army to pursue with all his might, and sure enough, after walking less than ten miles, he saw the abandoned camp of the Qin army.

"Stop!"

Mu Zhongtu glanced at his younger brother Mu Xijing, jumped off his horse and said, "Xijing, come with Brother Wang" and brought a team of soldiers to enter the abandoned Qin army camp.

"Damn. It's only ten miles away! I knew that we should have continued the pursuit yesterday, and the old dog and Gongzi Quliang were our prisoners! Wu Laogu slapped his thigh fiercely and shouted, "King, that's an abandoned camp, what are you going to do there?" "He is the number one general under Mu Zhongtu, and he is still Mu Zhongtu's uncle in terms of blood lineage, so he doesn't have to worry too much about talking.

"The abandoned camp may not be without the clues we need"

Mu Zhongtu smiled slightly: "Send someone to count the Qin Army's stove eyes, see how many there are, and report quickly!" Xijing. Haven't you been worried? Brother Wang will tell you that you must be cautious and cautious. But there must be a basis, Brother Wang used the weak to break the strong and seize the grassland ruled by the Bu clan for hundreds of years, did he only rely on recklessness? Did you see it, the stoves in the camp were arranged in a messy manner, and there were no rules at all, which showed that the Qin army was in chaos. Also, the stove eye is still warm, which means that they have just left, and our army should be able to catch up quickly. ”

"It turns out that there are many secrets in the eyes of this little stove, and Xijing has been taught."

Mu Xijing nodded slightly, Brother Wang was still very careful: "Brother Wang, did you send someone to count the number of stove eyes to calculate the number of Qin troops?" ”

"Worthy of my brother, smart." Mu Zhongtu nodded with satisfaction: "Xijing, you have to remember Brother Wang's words, soldiers can't do without food, and the way to use food is divided into upper, middle and lower grades."

Mu Xijing was very curious: "May I ask Brother Wang, what is the third class of grain?" ”

"The superior ones, the autumn is high and cool, the armor is fine, and can hit a hundred miles a day, then the soldiers can eat dry food and drink stream water; Medium, the two armies fight, the advantage is in me, there is no heat, no cold, as long as the dry food and hot food are half of each other, you can maintain the soldier's body; The inferior, just like our army and the pursued Qin army, coincided with the scorching heat and the men and horses were tired, which required the construction of stoves and cauldrons to ensure that the soldiers could eat hot food. Most of the Qin troops were foot soldiers, and they ran down desperately all day, and they had to eat hot food to recover their bodies, so how many people they had, how many stoves would be buried. The Qin army is about 30,000 people, and if a hundred people are a stove eye, there should be three hundred, and we can check the number of stove eyes through guò to judge how many available soldiers they have left! ”

"Report to the king, the Qin army's stove eyes are really two hundred and thirty-seven!"

Before Mu Zhongtu's words fell, the soldier in charge of counting the stove eyes had already reported the accurate number.

"Haha, sure enough, the defeat is like a mountain. See, Xijing? Under the defeat of the enemy army, there have been heavy casualties, I am afraid that many soldiers have left the team and fled, even if they do not die in the grass, they will be eaten by wolves, and now their strength is less than 30,000, but about 23,000! ”

Mu Zhongtu smiled proudly: "Get on the horse and continue to pursue the Qin army!" ”

Brother Wang is Brother Wang, he is still too young, and he is suspicious for no reason, but he forgets that Brother Wang is the hero of Yiqu. Mu Xijing was convinced, jumped on the horse obediently, and no longer worried about any conspiracy and tricks of the Qin army, even if there were, he would definitely be seen through by Brother Wang!

If Bai Dong is here, he will definitely laugh and make a big plan.

It is no wonder that Mu Zhongtu will be in the plan, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the soldiers have been using soldiers, mostly in the right encounter, that is, Sun Wu's art of war is also based on the right way, and there are very few odds, so as soon as Sun Bin came out, he used the 'reduction method' to kill Pang Juan alive, not to mention Mu Zhongtu, who was born in the wild road and was not taught by a famous master? This is a poisonous plan to change the pattern of the early Warring States period in one fell swoop, make Wei from strong to weak, and lose its hegemony, how can Mu Zhongtu dodge?

Mu Zhongtu was actually very cautious, even when he was pursuing, he was also guarding against the ambush of the Qin army, and it turned out that his previous prediction was correct, the Qin army was really fleeing for his life, and there was no time to arrange any ambushes

After resting at noon, I pursued again, and sure enough, I found the abandoned Qin army camp again, this time it was only five miles away, and the old black bones who scolded and scolded along the way were going crazy, and it was just a little bit away, was it a bright day testing the people of Yiqu? Mu Zhongtu was more calm, and continued to order the Qin army to count the stoves, this time it dropped to two hundred and eleven, and the Qin people had more than two thousand deserters.

Pursue! Before sunset today, it will be a raw fungus and a canal beam! Mu Zhongtu glanced back at Mu Zhuobei, like a little boy who needed to prove himself and was praised by his parents.

***

The Qin army seemed to have collectively incarnated into a group of magical boys who were good at creating miracles, and Mu Zhongtu was once again slapped in the face, and he still didn't catch up until the sun set. Everyone knew that the first few miles might be the camp of the Qin army, but the Yiqu people no longer had any strength, and even the war horses that liked to stand and sleep were lying on the ground, and going to attack the camp at this moment would only be a beautiful counterattack by the Qin army. In the same way, if the Qin army attacked the camp, the war would also end.

On this night, the officers and men of the two armies were eating hot food while looking at the firelight floating in the distance, and greeting the enemy's wife on the other, and the atmosphere was extremely strange.

When they woke up from their sleep in the morning and quickly ate the war meal, the Yiqu people gasped and rushed to the front of the old Qin camp, they found that these guys had taken a step earlier, and they were once again left behind by the enemy. Many Yiqu generals are going crazy, but Mu Zhongtu is still calmly counting the stove eyes, one hundred and fifty! It's just one night, and the Qin army has another 6,000 deserters! Pursue!

The people of Yiqu began to wonder if the old Qin people had been blessed by the bright sky? Why is it just a little bit less every time? The beans carried for the war horse have been almost eaten up, the horse is different from people, although the speed is fast and strong, but the nutrients needed are also more, there is fat and tender grass on the grassland, and the war horse only eats these grasses on weekdays, but in such a hot weather, it is necessary to overdraft the body every day to pursue the enemy, and there is no bean material to eat, which will lead to a decrease in speed, and the war horse dies suddenly!

After another two days of pursuit, some horses had begun to fall suddenly in the run, and the speed of the march had been greatly reduced; However, the situation of the Qin army should be even worse, their stove eyes have been reduced to twenty, and there are only two thousand people left at most.

The Qin people must have more exquisite food and some kind of method that can stimulate the potential of the soldiers, but even so, it should have killed many people alive, Mu Zhongtu has found a lot of new graves near the Qin army camp, the graves are all small and pitiful, and it seems that the person who buried the corpse did not have the strength to dig too deep.

Yiqu people advocate cremation and believe that corpses will bring disaster, so they will not dig graves for verification, and there is no need to verify, many war horses have died a lot, let alone people?

"How many horses can we last for a day?"

Looking at the tenfold shrinkage of the Qin army's camp and the scattered twenty stove eyes, Mu Zhongtu sneered slightly.

"Back to the king, the remaining beans of our army can still support five thousand horses for a day."

"Good! The order was given to select the bravest 5,000 warriors and 5,000 healthy horses to continue the pursuit of the Qin army with the king. The rest of the people were led by Brother Wang and returned to Yuzhi City; The rear is empty, and the king is worried that the old guy will move! ”

"Brother Wang, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to bring only 5,000 horsemen"

"What's wrong? The Qin army is less than 2,000, are you still afraid that I won't be able to win? ”

Mu Zhongtu glanced at his brother coldly: "This is the king's order!" In Xijing, although Bu Fengyi was defeated by Brother Wang and fled to the north, there were still thousands of dead soldiers following, and Brother Wang was uneasy. You don't have to worry about the Qin army, my army is everywhere, and it will be a complete victory, take care of Yuzhi for me, even if you have a great achievement! ”

Mu Xijing had no choice but to receive the order: "The Nuoqin people are treacherous, Brother Wang should be more careful." ”

"Treacherous? No matter how treacherous the young swallow is, it can't escape the eagle's claws. My good brother Wang, you will prepare the lamb wine in Yuzhi and wait for the triumphant return of Brother Wang! ”

Mu Zhongtu looked up to the sky and laughed. (To be continued......)
