Chapter 7: White Rock Interception

"Everyone go back to their tents and pack up all their things, pack up the tents and put them in the fourth car, and gather here after half a pillar of incense!"

The moment the horn sounded, Xu Mengmeng already had a bad premonition, and Zhao Motou's words when he left made the uneasiness in his heart even worse, I am afraid that Yicheng is lost!

Sure enough, when he returned to the camp tent, he found a note written under the quilt that read, "Yicheng is lost, young master be careful", and soon there were rumors in the army that "Xichu rebelled against the covenant, and Yicheng City was broken", Xu Mengmeng's face was not obvious, but his movements were a little faster, and he packed up his things and quickly helped to break the camp tent, and after finishing his own camp tent, he went to other camp tents around to help.

Western Chu took Yicheng in only two hours, and it will definitely attack the next city - Rongcheng soon, and if Rongcheng is breached, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is only afraid of danger.

Fortunately, Yicheng is as much as twice the distance from Rongcheng to Yuncheng, and the 30,000 army is now rushing to Rongcheng, and the 20,000 of them can temporarily resist one or two, and the road from Rongcheng to Yicheng is not easy to walk, creating a situation that Rongcheng is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with 20,000 troops to fight against the enemy's more than 100,000 troops, the result is obvious, but if it is 50,000 against 100,000, it may be able to get a glimmer of life.

Half an hour later, the 30,000 army was assembled, and began to march towards Rongcheng, because the situation was urgent, so the army rushed day and night, and only stopped for more than half an hour to eat a meal, it was a bowl of coarse grain rice, and there was no vegetable, at this moment Xu Mengmeng had a deeper understanding of the ancient army life, and also raised a trace of heartfelt respect for those soldiers who defended the country.

The army arrived at Rongcheng in the evening of the next day, at this time Rongcheng has long been no longer prosperous, only an empty city and 20,000 troops defending the city remain, and the enemy army at this time is still more than a day away from Rongcheng, the situation can be said to be very unfavorable to the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The army here ordered to rest and make a fire and cook in the open space in the city, and the leaders of the army over there had already gathered in the government office to discuss it enthusiastically.

Don't care about others anymore, Xu Mengmeng hurriedly finished eating and found a relatively secluded corner to squint, the war is about to start, and it is the king to hurry up and recuperate!

And Xu Mengmeng has carefully observed it just now, the 20,000 troops left in this city are estimated to have been stable for a long time, and there is no sergeant style on his body, his expression is panicked, and his steps are vain, so if he really fights a battle, he can not lag behind, if he wants to hold Rongcheng until the reinforcements arrive, he has to look at the 30,000 people who came to support.

When I woke up, the previous fatigue was swept away, my whole body became radiant, and my originally depressed mood was relaxed. However, when I saw the breakfast with polished rice and meat, my heart instantly sank to the bottom, this is the rhythm of eating well on the road!

Sure enough, after eating and resting for a while, we received an order that we would send 10,000 men to Baishipo, fifty miles outside Yicheng, to attack the enemy's vanguard troops, and the number of vanguard troops was unknown.

When he saw that the team of 10,000 people was all familiar faces from Cloud City like himself, and five thousand of them were people who had just entered the military camp like himself, Xu Mengmeng's heart suddenly cooled by half.

After giving Yinyue in the crowd a look, she stuffed a small dagger into her sleeve while she was not paying attention, and put on the armor that had just been issued, and she didn't care that the weight of the armor made it difficult for her to catch her breath, so she put the long knife on her waist, and followed General Li Cheng, who led the team, out of the city.

"Brother Zhang, how is that General Li a person?" When they arrived at Baishipo, they did not receive any news of the enemy's march until the evening, and it is estimated that either the enemy army was resting in Yicheng, or the scouts sent to inquire about the news were taken by the enemy, and the latter may be more likely. After sitting against the trunk of the tree for a long time without the slightest sleep, Xu Mengmeng couldn't help but find Daniel Zhang.

"General Li is an upright person with clear rewards and punishments, and he is a rare good general!"

Speaking of General Li, Daniel Zhang's face had some respect.

"I have a plan to control the enemy, but if the vanguard of the enemy army is cavalry, it may work, let me talk to you first, and then you go and tell General Li, if he thinks it is feasible, you can let him send a few trustworthy people to do this!"

After Xu Mengmeng whispered to Daniel Zhang after speaking, Daniel Zhang left. Soon he and a few people quietly left the group for a while, taking advantage of the night, and returned not long after. Xu Meng dreamed of this, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, a scout came to report that the vanguard of the enemy army was cavalry, and everyone panicked when they heard the news, and only a few people who knew the situation, including Xu Mengmeng, finally fell to the ground in their hearts, and even faintly looked forward to it.

General Li's words inspired everyone, and he began to arrange his troops in plain clothes, Xu Mengmeng was arranged in the forest above both sides of the Baishi Slope, if the enemy was not numerous, he would be responsible for throwing stones and branches at the enemy below when the battle was fought below, and if the enemy army was numerous, he would attack the enemy from the side of the forest.

The soldiers in charge of interception below listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and many of them turned pale and trembled, but they still mustered up the courage to clench the long knife in their hands, but soon their eyes were about to fall out of surprise at the next scene.

The enemy's cavalry was about to step past them, but for some reason the horses running in front of them were less than twenty meters away from their side, and they kicked their hooves like crazy, and directly threw off the soldiers on horseback.

Before the two armies officially started fighting, the enemy had suffered heavy casualties, General Li reacted and directly led his troops to rush down, and the troops lying in ambush above also picked up stones and branches next to them and smashed them at the enemy, and in less than half an hour, the enemy had been completely annihilated.

"Vomit ~ vomit ~ " Witnessing this tragic battle from the beginning to the end, smelling the strong smell of blood in the air, Xu Mengmeng almost vomited the overnight meal.

"Just spit it out! Do you think we're cruel? No way, war is like this, either you die or I die. If we don't do it to them today, then it will be our relatives who will be slaughtered in the future! Speaking of which, although your kid is delicate like a girl, I didn't expect that the head melon seeds are quite flexible, and he can come up with such a good idea as burying needles and digging pits! It's really terrifying! Hehe~"

"Ahem cough ~ Zhao Mo...... It's not Zhao Baihu, why did you join the barracks in the first place? ”

After spitting up and drinking a few more sips of water, Xu Mengmeng finally relieved himself and looked at the expressionless middle-aged man beside him.
