Xu Mo's face changed, "Smack!" A slap slapped Fang Mao's head, and said with a dark face: "Which ear did you hear that so-and-so was going to rob these villages?" ”

Xu Mo pondered for a while, and then instructed everyone: "Lu Yong rode back, and led the people who stayed in place to the farthest village from here, and we must also speed up our pace, and we must rush there to join everyone before sunset!" ”

Lu Yong turned over the black steed, and hurried to inform the team far behind, although the other people were puzzled, but they still accelerated their pace.

Dinah quietly approached Xu Mo and asked, "Do you think those Yang Guoliang guards' guards will harass those villages?" ”

Xu Mo was silent for a moment, but still explained: "It's not a feeling, it's a certainty!" When I asked Fang Mao to interrogate the scouts, I asked him to ask how many cavalry there were in the grain team. So many cavalry troops are by no means just to harass those Jiang country villages, but to destroy the villages! ”

"Destroy the village? Will these Yang armies kill the entire village? Why would they do it? Dinah's eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief.

"No, you misunderstood, I said destroying the village, not slaughtering the village, Yang Guo's army will not kill many people, unless they encounter great resistance, otherwise, they will only take the grain and burn the village, but they will not kill people!" Xu Mo shook his head and explained.

"Okay, Brother K, I admit that I'm not smart, so don't you sell it anymore?" Dinah rubbed her temples with a headache, and with Xu Mo, she always felt that her brain cells were dying quickly.

Xu Mo also rubbed his temples with a headache, he found that there was a very curious woman next to him, sometimes it was really troublesome, at least Lu Yong and they wouldn't have so many whys.

However, Dinah is a woman who is more in line with the requirements of his future partner in terms of temperament and natural ability, so he must also train her. Thinking of this, Xu Mo sighed and directed himself to Dinah.

"The current era is an era of cold weapon warfare, and the resources of war are the three major elements of manpower, food, and weapons. Because of technical reasons, in terms of weapons, there will be no situation where a certain weapon dominates the entire battlefield, so the victory or defeat of the war is mainly in manpower and food. ”

"So, Yang Guo wants to use these Jiang Guo villagers as his reserve army?" Dinah's eyes rolled and she came up with an answer.

"No, it will take a long time to train these villagers into qualified soldiers, and Yang Guo doesn't have that much energy to do this kind of thing, on the contrary, they drove the villagers of Jiang Guo not to join their own military camp, but to drive these people into Jiang City! Do you understand a little bit now? Xu Mo smiled slightly.

"I understand, they want to consume Jiang Cheng's food reserves. But why are they in such trouble, can't they storm Jiang Cheng? It will take a lot of time for them to do this, and the army will also consume a lot of food when they are outside, right? Dinah finally understood.

"Because Yang Guo, like Jiang Guo, is also a small country. Their army, you have also seen, although the military array is huge, but in fact it is less than 10,000 people, the military vehicles are less than 200 times, they can't afford to die, once the manpower consumption is too large, they have destroyed the Jiang country, and they will be destroyed by other strong neighbors! ”

"That's why they drove these villagers into Jiangcheng, on the one hand, to consume Jiangcheng's food, and on the other hand, to use the villagers' food to supplement the army!" Dinah finally realized, "Then what we have to do should be ......"

"You're right, knowing the enemy's purpose, what we have to do is very simple!" Xu Mo didn't wait for Dinah to finish speaking, and nodded, "Besides, I have something for you to do, and only you and I can do it, but I can't leave, so I have to leave it to you!" ”

Then, Xu Mo leaned into Dinah's ear, said a few words softly, and then handed her something: "This matter is very important, you leave now, you must meet that person, and then repeat what I told you, repeat it to him, as long as he believes it, maybe your main quest two can also be completed." ”

Dina took what Xu Mo handed her, nodded heavily, and said, "I know, you...... You have to be careful! ”

Xu Mo smiled faintly and replied, "You have to be careful, too!" ”

After Dinah left, Xu Mo suddenly felt uneasy, as if something very important had been forgotten by him, but he couldn't remember what was going on for a while, so he had to speed up his pace and keep up with the people in front.

Before sunset, Xu Mo and the three of them finally joined the large army brought by Lu Yong in front of the village farthest from the official road.

"Very good, prepare, it is estimated that after dawn, Yang Guo's army will come!" Xu Mo instructed Lu Yong and the others.

"Chief, will the guards of those grain teams really rush to this village so far away, if they want food, aren't there two other villages that are closer?" Fang Mao was puzzled.

Since Dina joined this team, the number of curious babies has increased, and before that, Fang Mao didn't dare to talk to Xu Mo more no matter how many doubts he had in his heart.

"They're coming, haven't you noticed the proportions of their guards? The cavalry had three pawns, while the infantry had only two pawns. In fact, the foot soldiers of this grain team are the real guards, but the cavalry soldiers are only the accompanying guards. The main task of the cavalry was to sweep the Jiangcheng villages on the Jiangcheng Plain, collect food, and drive the people into Jiangcheng. ”

"No matter how important a grain team is, it doesn't need three precious cavalry, and only the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind can quickly sweep the many villages on the plain. Xu Mo said lightly.

"Leader, even if there are only three pawns (one pawn is a hundred) cavalry, I am afraid that we are not opponents." Lu Yong said with a wry smile.

"They won't come to the three pawns, the three pawn cavalry will be scattered to various villages, otherwise the efficiency will be too low! We'll only have to deal with one pawn at most, or even fewer cavalry! Xu Mo said confidently.

If it was just a sneak attack on a cavalry, Lu Yong, Lu Chen, and Fang Mao glanced at each other, and they all found that a trace of excitement appeared in the other party's eyes, and they began to burn.

In the early morning, the breeze blows on the Jiangcheng Plain, the newly planted seedlings in the fields sway, the dew drops on the green wheat leaves slowly drip into the soil, moistening the brown farmland, and the thatched roofs of some village houses have begun to emit gentle cooking smoke.

Lu Yong licked his dry lips, the weather in the New Year was a little cold, so that everyone hiding in the groves on both sides of the village couldn't help but shrink their necks and tighten their necks. Last night, they had arrived before sunset, but instead of entering the village or alarming the villagers, they chose to hide in the grove.

Although Lu Yong and the others didn't understand why Xu Mo didn't let them enter the village, Dinah was not there, and they didn't dare to ask questions in front of Xu Mo. This Nie Li, the leader of the three righteous warriors of Qiu Chi, is now more and more majestic in their hearts, especially when Xu Mo has a gloomy face, the breathing of everyone next to him will involuntarily lighten.

Just when a group of people were bored, there was a slight tremor on the ground of the grove, Xu Mo's face changed, and when he heard it, there was a slight "knock" sound in the distance on the ground. Xu Mo got up and glanced at everyone, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and Yang Guo's cavalry was coming!

Half a moment later, everyone in the grove saw that on the dirt road leading to the village, a group of black spots grew from small to large, and more than a hundred cavalry roared and galloped. These Yang cavalry simply assembled at the entrance of the village, and then rushed into the village with bronze swords in hand, and then the village resounded one after another exclamations and the sound of chickens and dogs barking.

Soon, after a commotion, the village fell into an eerie silence.

"Leader, do we want to kill it now, these horsemen are estimated to have dismounted, and they are concentrating on the villagers, and now they are killing them, they may not be prepared." Fang Mao suggested with a sinister smile.

"Do it according to the original plan, don't act rashly, these horsemen are elite, you and others face to face, and you can't kill a few if you die." Xu Mo glanced at him angrily.

"No!" Fang Mao shrank his head, he had been following Xu Mo for a long time, he had already forgotten a little that he was before, he was just a cowardly bandit.

About half an hour later, fires broke out everywhere in the village, and the villagers kept running out of the village, beating their chests and feet outside the village, crying loudly, but they did not dare to approach the burning village again.

As the fire grew bigger and bigger, Yang Guo's cavalry began to laugh and curse one after another and withdraw from the village, and everyone had several neat bags of grain on their horses, some of them were carrying chickens and ducks and other birds, and some of them were leading pigs and cows.

Suddenly, in the crowd of villagers who had been driven out of their homes, several sharp arrows were fired, knocking several horsemen who were laughing and joking to the ground, and one of them was killed on the spot because he was hit in the mouth.

All the horsemen were stunned, and then they were furious, and looked at the villagers gathered outside the village. The villagers immediately turned pale and scattered, revealing the three men behind them who were fleeing towards the grove on the right side of the village.

The cavalry saw the hunting bow in the hands of the three people at a glance, and they all scolded angrily and got on their horses and chased away, and some of the cavalry had to chase after them on foot because there were more things on the horse, to kill the villagers who had fled, and the entire cavalry team was scattered into a mass of scattered sand.

The three men with hunting bows were running very fast, and before being chased by the cavalry, they had already entered the forest, and one of them threw away the hunting bow in his hand, pulled out a blood-red dragon-handled sword from behind him, and looked at the cavalry outside the woods, showing a cruel smile.

As the cavalry pursued the front of the woods, the leading cavalry frowned slightly, and cautiously raised his hand to prevent his companions from entering the woods immediately, but several more crossbow bolts flew towards the cavalry in the woods, and seemed to be aimed at their mounts.

The leading horseman was finally furious, and with a wave of his hand, the horsemen who had already arrived rushed into the woods......
