Chapter 593: The Dark Tide is surging
General Zuo Xiaowei was in charge, and Jing Yuanheng once again convened his cadres to discuss the school.
The matter of military rations was temporarily resolved, and the generals and schools present, including Jing Yuanheng, were in a good mood, so the atmosphere was a little relaxed and there was no dull depression yesterday.
"Everyone is discussing, take a charter and let's solve the current trouble completely!"
If Lin Sha and He Lvshuai were present, they would definitely be surprised that their jaws would fall to the ground, the dignified General Zuo Xiaowei, one of the super bosses of the Twelve Pillars of the Great Sui Empire, and a busy man with all kinds of opportunities, would have discussed the 'trivial matter' they proposed with such fanfare?
"Lin Sha this kid again?"
A cadre of Ying Yang Lang and Ying Yang Deputy General, including Ya Shuai, a cadre of generals and colonels, is very impressed by Lin Sha, whether it is temperament or skills, at a glance you know that it is not a simple person.
It's just that I didn't expect that the daring kid yesterday just got a bargain, and today there is a demon moth.
"He wants to go back to Liaodong to carry grain and grass?"
The Ying Yang Lang who had done with Lin Sha yesterday looked suspicious, and said with disdain: "Do you think this trip is dangerous and want to slip away in advance?" ”
This person doesn't have a good impression of Lin Sha, who let Lin Sha make him lose face in front of many colleagues?
The atmosphere in the tent was momentarily congealed, but it was quickly slowed down, after all, the grain and grass at hand could be saved for twenty days of chewing for the army, and there was room for maneuver whether it was to continue to advance or retreat.
After all, the army had only penetrated into Goguryeo for more than 400 miles, and it was still too late to turn back.
This is also the inertial thinking brought about by the smooth march of the army, and the performance of the Goguryeo army's 'collapse at the first touch' has made them lose most of their vigilance, believing that the reaction of the Goguryeo army can be ignored directly.
"It's not impossible for them to go back to carry grain and grass, and with 10,000 young and strong people, our logistical pressure has been reduced a lot!" At this time, there was an eagle Yanglang who said pertinently.
"I'm afraid that this guy is bold and reckless, and he will have a bad impact by escaping for some reason!"
Vice General Taka expressed concern. It's not impossible.
"What are you afraid of, forgive him for not having the courage to do this!"
The deputy marshal, who was sitting at the head of his left hand, spoke very disapprovingly.
"In that case, let them go back as soon as possible!"
Seeing that his subordinates reached an agreement, Jing Yuanheng finally made a decision: "Within twenty days, they must transport another 10,000 loads of grain and grass!" ”
……
Logistics baggage camp. Lin Sha supervises the residence of the people.
"Lin Shalangjun, the boss has already agreed to our request, when do you think we will leave?"
After getting the order, He Lvshuai came to the door as soon as possible and said excitedly.
"Da Lang is going to act with someone?"
Putting down the roster that was being counted at hand, Lin Sha turned his head and glared back with cold dissatisfaction.
"This is natural, without Lin Shalangjun's help, I feel uneasy!"
He Lvshuai said with a natural expression, and then squeezed his eyebrows and smiled: "Lang Jun wouldn't think that without a certain supervision, the general would let Lang Jun leave at will with 10,000 young and strong people, right?" ”
"You've got it right!"
Lin Sha picked up the freshly baked roster again. waved his hand with an impatient face: "Since you know, hurry up and prepare, let's set off at noon!" ”
"How fast?" He Lvshuai was taken aback, and asked with an incredible face.
"Or else?"
Lin Sha's face sank, and he said impatiently: "Do you still want to wait for the grain and grass in the army to be in a hurry again before setting off?" ”
He Lvshuai: "......"
When the scorching sun in the sky maliciously emitted a blazing light at noon, the 300 regular officers and men of the 1st Regiment of the Sui Army under the command of the commander of the He Brigade Commander who belonged to the baggage battalion, together with the 10,000 young and strong men led by Lin Sha, prepared to leave the camp, causing a small sensation in the logistics baggage battalion.
But no matter what the army camp behind him was talking about. These Lin Sha can't be controlled, and at this time he is commanding 10,000 young and strong people. Ten long queues were formed to drive away thousands of neighing livestock, and they rushed to Liaodong City by the same route.
With Lin Sha's command, the 10,000 young and strong people seemed to be in an orderly manner, and the rules and regulations between the actions were quite like that, and in the distance, I saw a long queue like a yellow dragon winding forward, and the gray and yellow dust stirred up by the steps flew into the sky. A hideous gray-yellow earth dragon was formed, and the momentum was amazing.
Of course, this is just a good face, and there is still a lot of difference between it and the regular army, so the three hundred Sui troops were divided into five teams, and a team of men and horses were sent to the front and left as scouts to guard the enemy, and once the enemy situation was discovered, it was immediately reported. It's just a team of 100 people, responsible for the pressure and supervision of tens of thousands of people.
There is no heavy grain and grass to transport, and the return trip of tens of thousands of young and strong people is relatively easy, but because there is too little food at hand, the body is not very comfortable in a half-full state every day, which is the biggest difficulty and challenge that Lin Sha is facing at present.
Therefore, the flowers, plants, animals and plants along the way on the way back suffered greatly, and all the edible ones were swept away, just like the locusts crossing the border leaving only a wolf, and they only hated the Goguryeo army hidden in the dark gritted their teeth but were helpless.
Especially when the scouts found a large bamboo forest in a valley, Lin Sha immediately ordered the young and strong people to dig up almost all of them, not only to make a sufficient number of bamboo guns, but also to obtain a larger number of edible bamboo shoots, which suddenly relieved a lot of logistical pressure on the entire army.
It wasn't until they were hundreds of miles away from the army and marched alone on the border of Goguryeo, which had previously swept the 'clean' Goguryeo, that small groups of Goguryeo troops began to harass and sneak attack.
On this day, when the army of tens of thousands of young and strong people had just arrived at a river, the scouts who suddenly approached issued a warning, and the arrows that rushed into the air were terrible and piercing, and Lin Sha, who was in the position of the Chinese army, reacted at the first time and suddenly shouted: "The whole army stops, prepare for battle!" ”
The sound was rolling like a tide and wanted to rush in all directions, but it had reached the ears of tens of thousands of young and strong people in an instant, making the young and strong people who were a little flustered and at a loss a little relieved.
Immediately, in the shouts and greetings of the regular soldiers of the Sui Army, slowly and dazedly raised the long bamboo gun in his hand, and the chaotic queue turned into a hedgehog full of long thorns.
"What's going on?"
Telling He Lushuai to be optimistic about the group of people who had not experienced actual combat, Lin Sha rode alone and galloped on horseback, but after half a cup of tea, he rushed to the position where the loud whistle arrow was fired, and saw several regular soldiers of the Sui army as scouts cleaning the battlefield, in addition to a few wounded people, there were also several corpses of Goguryeo soldiers lying on the ground.
"Lang Jun, there are dozens of Goguryeo soldiers hidden here, and they were found by us and scattered!"
The scout who was in charge of leading the team was also a chief, and he also lived in Jiupin, but he didn't dare to slack off in front of Lin Sha, and hurriedly rushed over to report easily.
"Well, what about them?"
Lin Sha's face was cold and he nodded slowly, carefully sensed that there was no other living person within half a mile of his surroundings, and his brows couldn't help but frown slightly and asked curiously.
"Let them slip away!"
The leader of the scouts nodded a little embarrassedly, his face full of indignation, as if he was also very dissatisfied with his 'results'.
"Be careful, your own safety is the number one priority, and if the enemy retreats, it doesn't matter, as long as you can alert in time!"
For some reason, Lin Sha's heart suddenly felt as heavy as a boulder, as if something bad was about to happen.
Thinking back on the first expedition of the Sui army to Goguryeo, his heart suddenly moved, his face involuntarily became serious, and he looked at the confused scout leader and solemnly admonished.
"Don't worry, Lang Jun, you know it!"
It can be seen that although this guy answered with full anger, the look on his face showed his disapproval.
"Be careful!"
Frowning slightly, with a slight dislike in his heart, Lin Sha didn't say anything in the end, just said a word of advice again and turned the horse's head and returned with a few wounded.
As expected, the rest of the trip was not as smooth as before.
The Goguryeo soldiers who appeared from time to time annoyed the scouts of the Sui army who were on guard all around.
Just when the Sui army scouts were careless, although the casualty number was not large, the accumulation was very amazing.
Finally, after encountering the tenth wave of sneak attacks, Lin Sha gathered all the regular officers and soldiers of the Sui army through He Brigade Shuai, and informed them of the total casualty statistics during this period: 36 killed in the battle and 18 seriously wounded!
This is still the case that Lin Sha has superb medical skills and can easily solve most of the injuries, so there are almost no minor injuries among the soldiers of the Sui army.
How is it so serious?
The officers and soldiers of the Sui Army were shocked when they saw this number, and they didn't think much about it on weekdays!
"It is estimated that this is a method of the Goguryeo people, who want to slowly devour us by boiling frogs in warm water!"
Lin Sha directly revealed the secret.
"Can't it, just Goguryeo's crooked melons and bad dates?"
Immediately, some soldiers of the Sui army were not convinced.
Lin Sha just sneered and didn't explain, but He Lvshuai scolded loudly with a blue face.
At the same time, just a day after Lin Sha and his 10,000 young and strong men left, news came from another army, Yuwenshu, that Goguryeo had sent an important minister, Ulzhi Wendeok, to surrender.
This made Jing Yuanheng, who had planned to return with him, hesitate with his subordinate generals, and the safety of the army was vacillating between defeating Goguryeo and achieving monstrous achievements, and they were in a dilemma for a while.
And that Yizhi Wende is not easy to get along, as soon as he came, he found an excuse to ask for a competition with a general of the Sui army, followed by several famous grandmaster-level masters of Goguryeo, and defeated the Sui army in a row, making the Sui army very embarrassed, and attracting everyone's attention at once.
At the same time, a large number of Goguryeo elite parts secretly mobilized frequently, quietly laying a net of heaven and earth...... (To be continued.) )
