Chapter 945: Capture the thief and capture the king first
Zhu Xiaoyan faced the fierce gazes of several generals and did not react.
The questioning general had already stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you speak?" Is there a ghost in your heart? ”
Han Mo frowned and said lightly, "What nonsense is yours?" ”
The man respectfully said to Han Mo: "General, we just feel strange in our hearts. After the general led us out, we were cautious along the way, and in order to conceal the march, we all chose some extremely remote and rugged roads to walk, which can be regarded as unaware. He suddenly looked at Zhu Xiaoyan and said, "But in the end, we fell into the ambush circle of the Wei army, and along the way, this person was leading the way in front, if it wasn't for his intention, how could we fall into the enemy's trap?" ”
Han Mo's two eyebrows were twisted into a line, and his expression was cold: "You don't have to think about it, this matter has nothing to do with him." ”
"General, he wears a mask all day long, and he doesn't even dare to show his face, who is it?" Immediately, someone said: "General, we don't know the face of a person but we don't know the heart, and now we don't even know his face, how can we know his heart?" Whether he is a spy planted in our army by the Wei army, no one can be sure! ”
Han Mo knew that at this time, the generals were under great pressure, both physically and psychologically, and the secret march was besieged by the Wei army, and these people must have been full of some suspicion in their hearts.
"You're right, there are indeed spies in our army." Han Mo said slowly: "But there is no need to doubt him, this road was originally made to go like this, and how to be surrounded, it is not because we have taken the wrong path, but because the Wei army is likely to know our whereabouts well!" ”
The generals were all surprised, and one of them asked, "General, who betrayed us?" He will be cut into pieces with a thousand knives! ”
Han Mo said calmly: "Don't worry, as long as you can go back alive this time, I, Han Mo, promise you, that I will definitely find out the traitor who betrayed us, give you an explanation, and also give an explanation to the dead brothers!" ”
The generals' eyes were a little red.
They were not afraid of death, the men galloped on the battlefield, and the horse leather shrouded the corpse.
But because he was betrayed by his own people, he died like this, which is really unacceptable to all the soldiers.
Zhu Xiaoyan listened to Han Mo defend him, glanced at Han Mo, and didn't say much.
"But we must now come together to deal with the current difficulties." Han Mo's voice was low and solemn: "Since Ben General brought you out, he will do everything he can to bring you back!" ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were moved, and they said in unison: "We are willing to live and die with the general!" ”
Han Mo stood up, picked up his helmet and put it on, picked up the bloody copper stick on the trunk of the tree, and instructed a general: "You go to the north to summon the king's commander to come over, and say that I have military affairs to discuss!" ”
The man took the command and departed.
Han Mo said to Zhu Xiaoyan: "Follow me to the front to take a look!" Without saying much, he carried the blood copper stick down the mountain, Zhu Xiaoyan didn't say much, held the spear in his hand, and followed behind.
The trees on this mountain are extremely thick, but in order to resist the attack of the Wei army under the mountain, many large trees were cut down for rolling logs, and simple fortifications were temporarily built with the use of trees.
Han Mo didn't stop until he had to defend the wooden fence, and when he looked down, he could see the dense Wei army camp under the mountain, undulating, and encircling the east side of Mantou Mountain.
The soldiers of the Yan Army guarding the edge of the wooden fence were also exhausted, and many of them even showed despair in their eyes.
In the face of such a siege by the Wei army, even if a pair of wings are born and want to fly out, I am afraid that the Wei army will shoot down from mid-air.
Han Mo was holding a bloody copper stick, just staring at the camp of the Wei army at the bottom of the mountain very carefully, he walked slowly from left to right, but his eyes never left the Wei camp, as if he was observing something.
Zhu Xiaoyan didn't ask much, just followed Han Mo's side, but there was a slight doubt in the depths of his eyes.
Looking at it while walking, going to the right for nearly ten miles, Han Mo stopped his steps, turned around and turned back, this time he only walked three or four miles, he stopped, handed the blood copper stick in his hand to Zhu Xiaoyan, and climbed a big tree in three or two, standing on top of the tall tree and looking down.
Not only Zhu Xiaoyan was a little puzzled, but even the soldiers of the Yan Army who were fortified in this area looked at each other, not knowing what the hell Han Mo was doing.
Han Mo stood on the tree, but he didn't come down for a long time, until Wang Siyu hurriedly came, Han Mo jumped down from the tree and asked, "Commander Wang, how is the situation on the north side?" ”
Wang Siyu was like everyone else, his armor was covered with blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were chapped, but he still maintained his tenacious fighting spirit, and arched his hand: "General, the Wei army attacked three times today, and we all beat them down. But looking at the way they looked, they weren't attacking with all their might, they were just trying to harass us and not let us rest. ”
Han Mo's expression was solemn, he nodded slightly, and asked again, "In your opinion, how long can we hold on?" ”
Wang Siyu smiled bitterly and said: "General, our food and grass have been cut off, people are sleepy and lacking, and the strength of the Wei army is far above us. After a pause, he sighed: "I don't say that the grain and grass are cut off, it's just that we are besieged by the Wei army, and it is difficult to fly, the news cannot be sent, and we can't ask for help, so everyone is ...... in their hearts!" Speaking of this, Wang Siyu's face showed a gloomy color.
If the news cannot be delivered, the hope of the soldiers will be lost.
The tenacity of an army without hope will slowly be worn out as the situation worsens.
Han Mo groaned slightly, and finally said, "What you said is right, if it goes on like this, we will definitely not be able to hold it." He turned his gaze back to the continuous Wei army camp at the foot of the mountain, and asked softly, "Commander Wang, what do you think we should do in the current situation?" ”
Wang Siyu wanted to speak and stopped, but finally did not speak.
"If you have any ideas, just say them." Han Mo said slowly: "It is a matter of life and death for three thousand brothers, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!" ”
Wang Siyu finally said: "The last general thinks that for the sake of today's plan, he can only desperately break through, if he delays on this mountain and is surrounded by them for another day or two, the brothers are afraid that they will not even have the strength to pick up arms, let alone fight with them, if it really comes to that time, the three thousand brothers will definitely be wiped out." If you sit still and wait to die, it is better to take advantage of the fact that everyone still has some strength, some fighting spirit, and fight hard, if you are lucky, you may be able to get rid of some people's ......! Speaking of this, Wang Siyu shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's just too difficult." Our troops are far inferior to them, and we don't know much about the terrain of Shannan County as well as they do, and it is extremely difficult to break through their encirclement, even if we break through and want to get out, it will not be easy to ......! ”
Han Mo actually nodded and said, "So far, there is only a breakthrough." ”
Wang Siyu hurriedly said: "Has the general already thought of a countermeasure?" ”
Han Mo smiled indifferently and asked rhetorically, "Commander Wang, do you know why Sima Haoyue abandoned his action to support Evil Yang Ridge and used all his energy to deal with us?" ”
Wang Siyu hesitated slightly, and then said slowly: "Forgive the last general's bluntness, I am afraid that the general's operation this time has already been known by Sima Haoyue, and Sima Haoyue must have known that it was the general himself who led the army to intercept them this time!" ”
Han Mo sneered: "You are right, Ben Jiang and his four thousand brothers were sold this time. Sima Haoyue knew that Ben would be in this army, so he worked so hard. In his opinion, as long as the general is captured, our Dayan Northwest Army will be leaderless, and the Wei State will have a chance to counterattack. The people of Wei are not afraid of the Qing people, they are afraid of us, as long as we are in chaos, their morale will rise, and even if the Qing army is alone in the face of the Wei army that has been hit hard, there is a chance that the British will not be able to deal with it. Sima Haoyue's hand is the so-called thief who captures the king first! ”
"It must be so." Wang Siyu nodded, then clenched his fists, and his eyes showed resentment: "Who betrayed us?" ”
"I'm not in a hurry to think about this." Han Mo said slowly: "What we have to think about now is how to break through. ”
Wang Siyu immediately said: "General, if you have any orders, just show them." I, the three thousand warriors of Dayan, must not die here in vain, and you, the general, must not be defeated in the hands of Sima Haoyue. ”
Han Mo's voice became serious, and he said softly: "Our strength is only about 3,000 now, and there are still hundreds of brothers who have been injured, and there are less than 3,000 brothers who can fight, and Sima Haoyue's 20,000 army is trapped in Mantou Mountain, and there are heavy troops on all sides, so if we want to break through, the first thing is to determine the direction of the breakthrough, and then concentrate all our forces and storm a little!" ”
Wang Siyu nodded, thoughtful, and then said with a worried look: "General, if the brothers fight bravely to the death, it may not be impossible to tear a gap in the Wei army's military formation, but we have to consider that even if the gap is torn and temporarily breaks out from a certain side, but the speed of this Shannan army in the mountains is much stronger than ours, and it won't be long before they can re-encircle us. ”
Han Mo smiled indifferently and said, "So we not only have to break out, but also let them mess up, so that they don't have the courage to continue chasing us." ”
Wang Siyu and Zhu Xiaoyan next to him glanced at each other, and there was doubt in their eyes.
"Since Sima Haoyue has spent so much energy to take you down, he will never give up halfway." Zhu Xiaoyan's voice was calm and calm: "Don't underestimate Sima Haoyue, although he is very cautious in marching and fighting, this person has never lacked courage in his bones." ”
"So if even Sima Haoyue's courage disappears, how can the courage of the Shannan Army be preserved?" The corners of Han Mo's mouth flashed with a sneer: "Sima Haoyue wants to take down the general, won't the general use the technique of capturing the thief and the king in turn and take him as well!" ”
Wang Siyu was taken aback, and Zhu Xiaoyan's eyes also flashed with light.
