Chapter 277: Investigative Methods
After Luo Ji's raid at dawn, two days passed quietly, and these two days were undoubtedly easy for Luo Ji and them, because the only thing they needed to do was to adjust their state, but for Wang Tong, the general who defended the city in Songshan City, this day was not so easy.
There is a way that once was bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, after being tossed for a while, these two days, he lived a frightened day, at night, he did not dare to relax carelessly, at night, the city wall on the city guard increased to one hundred people in one breath, directly stood in a row, Wang Tong himself could not sleep steadily, and the soldiers under his hands also did not sleep steadily, in all senses......
This tense state was maintained until the evening of the next day, looking at the reinforcements slowly entering the city, Wang Tong was obviously relieved, after all, the number of troops is the confidence.
This time, Zhou Dongnan directly transferred a thousand troops from the Great Zhou Wangcheng, and the general in charge of leading the troops was a general who had a good relationship with Wang Tong, so Wang Tong didn't have too many scruples when he spoke, "Cao, why are you only here now?!" ”
"Isn't that all right? You don't know how difficult the road behind Matsuyama Castle is. Jiang Wei, who was stationed in Songshan City with a thousand reinforcements, had a trace of fatigue on his face, and the march for days was not an easy thing.
"It almost happened!" Thinking of the wave of attacks at dawn two days ago, Wang Tong still has palpitations on his face, the battle to defend the city, his own heart is also hanging, he has no confidence at all, and in the end, he fought hard.
And when he mentioned this, Jiang Wei's expression was also a little serious, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”
As he spoke, Wang Tong explained the ins and outs of the whole matter in detail, and after listening, Jiang Wei's brows furrowed directly, "I didn't expect that these outsiders would ignore the two thousand troops outside Shangyuan City and directly dispatch troops to attack Songshan City." ”
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei's mind turned, "Didn't the outsiders attack the city again in the past two days?" ”
"Nope." When he said this, Wang Tong's mood was full of complexity, the other party did not come to attack the city, which really made him breathe a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, he also had a feeling that he was being played by the other side as a fool, after all, he was worried for two days!
"Have you sent scouts out of the city to reconnoiter the situation?" Jiang Wei asked again.
"Yes, no trace of the other party has been found near Matsuyama City, should you report this matter to Your Majesty?"
"Take the road behind Songshan City, even if it is a person and a ride, a fast horse, a one-way trip will take three days, a trip back and forth for six to seven days, and according to the plan arranged by His Majesty in advance, three days later, at noon, Shangyuan City will officially start to attack the city, I will set off immediately after a day of rest in Songshan City, so as to form a front and rear encirclement formation with the two thousand troops of Shangyuan City, and capture Songhe City in one go, and the time will not be able to catch up at all."
Speaking of this, Jiang Wei's voice paused slightly, and after relieving his breath, he continued to speak, "Moreover, according to what you said, there is basically no trace of the enemy near Songshan City, considering the battle on the side of Shangyuan City, it is very likely that the opposite side will come to raid a wave, and after the raid fails, he immediately turned back to Songhe City......"
"So what do you say?" In the past two days, the nerves have been too tense, and now as soon as he relaxes, Wang Tongqiang, who is beginning to feel sleepy, asked with spirit.
"While our troops are resting, you will send a reconnaissance team of 100 people to conduct a carpet search near Matsuyama Castle! If this fails to find the whereabouts of the other party, it means that the other party has really retreated, and in this case, I only need to continue to act according to the original plan. ”
Jiang Wei said this quite simply, but Wang Tong, who heard this, was secretly speechless in his heart, a hundred people, is it still called a reconnaissance team? That's already the vanguard, okay?
But now, Wang Tong doesn't matter, he didn't have many troops in the city before, and he was worried that if too many people were sent out, they would all be intercepted and killed by the other party, causing a loss of troops, which was not conducive to his future defense of the city, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, obviously there is no need to worry about this problem, a hundred people are a hundred people, he just wants to arrange things quickly, and then go back to his mansion and sleep well!
The next morning, the strength of a hundred men quickly dispersed, although all of them were just ordinary soldiers of the defending force, not professionally trained scouts, but there were a hundred people, which was enough for them to complete a wave of carpet searches around Matsuyama Castle......
"Damn, how did this happen to us?" One of the soldiers of Matsuyama Castle, who was wearing shield and axe equipment, walked on the road with a worried face, and as he walked, he couldn't help but mutter, which made the other soldier walking next to him look irritated.
"Who told us not to keep vigil last night? Now that the vigil have gone to sleep, won't this happen to us? Don't be verbose, look for it quickly, and go back quickly after looking for it. In the middle of speaking, the soldier had already looked around, "Okay, not here, change the next place." ”
"Wait, haven't you seen it over there?"
"Over there?" The soldier who heard this frowned, and glanced impatiently in the direction pointed by the other soldier, "What's over there?" How many trees, a bush, how many stones? Is the army of the outsiders hiding in those bushes, or in those trees? ”
After saying that, the soldier shook his head speechlessly, and then turned around and walked away, while the other soldier obviously didn't want to wander around in the field alone, so he hurriedly followed in two steps.
As the clock ticked by, it was close to evening, and in order to bring the results of the reconnaissance back to Matsuyama Castle in time, the soldiers sent out to reconnoiter the situation began to turn back at sunset, and by the time the sun had completely set, the whole field had fallen silent again, until a strange birdsong sounded......
"Goo! Goo Goo ......"
The cry with a certain rhythm seemed to send out some kind of signal, and then, under the moonlight, the branches and leaves on a certain big tree suddenly shook strangely, and a figure wearing a leaf camouflage suit jumped lightly from the tree, and the same figure also drilled out of a bush one or two hundred meters to the left of the big tree......
With the guidance of the moonlight, one by one the figures rushed in one direction at the same time, and after gathering together, they found that there were more than a dozen people hidden in this area!
