Chapter 12: Scout Warfare

It is on the front line of Dagang Town, where heavy troops are gathered. On the contrary, the Xincheng side took the lead, and the skirmishes continued to intensify, and in the land within a radius of two hundred miles between the barbarian camp and the Xincheng, the strangulation between the scouts had reached a fever pitch. The scale of the clash was small, but it was intense, and over the course of a few days, the New Town Scout Battalion lost thousands of elite soldiers, and the Anima's army lost less than that.

"Captain Li, such a large unnecessary loss is completely unnecessary. "Scout chief Hou Le found Li Xin, for a few days, very few of the scouts who went out could come back intact, most of them were damaged on the grassland, which made him feel distressed, these are the elites of Xincheng, since it is determined that the overall operation of Xincheng is defense, then within this range of two hundred miles, there is no need to let elite soldiers do this kind of desperate fighting.

You must know that the soldiers who can serve as scouts must have experienced the battlefield, are skilled in martial arts, and have at least a military level of martial arts cultivation.

Even the Qin Martial Army, which accounts for more than three-tenths of the entire army in terms of the popularity of Hou-rank martial artists, can't bear this kind of casualties of thousands of elites today, which can also be seen how powerful the real barbarian standing army is. In comparison, the barbarian armies that Ye Qing faced the year before before were at best a group of militias, and there was no comparison.

"Captain Hou!" Li Xin looked at Hou Le, who was anxious and had a few big bubbles on his mouth, "You have lost thousands of soldiers, what about the barbarians?"

"Captain Li, the losses of the barbarian scouts will definitely not be lower than this number. Hou Le raised his head, if he wanted to say comfort, this was the only place that could bring him a little comfort.

"If the two sides are about the same, why does Anima keep sending scouts?

"This ......" Hou Le couldn't help but stop.

Yes, although the overall strength of the barbarians is stronger, but so many elite scouts are not something that can be cultivated casually, although the Snow Eagle Tribe has more than 2,000 herdsmen, and everyone practices martial arts, but the barbarians who can achieve military level cultivation are still a few, even if they are more than Qin Wuling, not much.

"Defending the city is the most taboo to defend, and the siege is also the most taboo and sleepy, Anima's current posture is to besiege the city, but he is just a frontal threat, if he doesn't find some stimulation for the soldiers, it will go on for a long time" The soldiers will inevitably have a war-weary mentality, and we are the same, in the face of a strong enemy, blindly shrinking can only make our soldiers' morale decline day by day, so, rear captain, your sacrifice is worth it, no matter how many people die in your scout team, I will make up for you here. Li Xin said sharply.

"Yes, Captain Li!" Hou Le retreated, and the boss said that this cruel strangulation battle would continue. "Dead barbarian, if you want to fight, you will be accompanied by the old!" Hou Le hated in his heart, he decided to expand the scale of the scouts out of the city, "one team per hundred people, "If you want to come, you will be a little ruthless!" Hou Le thought to himself, he knew that the larger the team, the more advantageous the Ye army would be, because the soldiers of the Ye army were much more than the barbarians in terms of cooperation, and they might not be opponents alone, but it was difficult to say if they were beaten in groups.

With the increase in the strength of the two sides of the conflict, the Ye army began to have the upper hand Xu and the barbarians began to avoid head-on contact with the Xincheng scouts, but opened the frame, and ran long distances to attack the gallop between Xincheng and Yangcheng, roaring "One touch and go, Hou Le racked his brains to block these barbarian scouts, but he didn't succeed once or twice in ten times, even if he blocked, the other party would never love to fight, and he would leave, and sometimes he often paid the generation of the guard and never fought with the foreign soldiers. When this style of play made Hou Le proudly think that he had struck the other party's arrogance, he was also a little puzzled, the barbarians should not be cowardly soldiers, why is this so?

Anima seemed to be stalling for time, and Li Xin wanted to delay time even more, and the commanders of the two sides seemed to hit it off, although the battle between the small forces was in full swing, but the large forces on both sides were extremely tacitly unmoving.

More than ten days later, Anima smiled and instructed the general Umuda on the side: "Umuda, it's time, you go, I will destroy several important Terran strongholds." ”

Wu Mu Da said excitedly: "Don't worry, Dashuai, this time we will be surprised and will definitely win a big victory." ”

Anima said: "Don't be careless, this battle will win in a fast word, these ten days, we gathered sand into a tower, quietly hid three thousand elites, bypassed the Yangcheng fortress, and went straight to the granary located in Yangcheng, you have to burn the grain supply production base into a white ground with lightning speed, it is not a problem to lay the granary, there is basically no regular army of the human race, but the way back is full of dangers, whether it is the defenders of Yangcheng, or Li Xin of Xincheng, will send troops to intercept you, you have to be careful." ”

Umuda nodded heavily, "Dashuai, I understand, go and come back quickly, never love to fight?"

In the past ten days, Anima used the strangulation of a small group of troops, the large team went out, the team returned, and quietly hid thousands of cavalry in the empty space between Xincheng and Yangcheng, just preparing to carry out this thunderous blow and cause irreparable losses to Qin Wuling.

Anima is very confident, judging from Li Xin's reaction, the other party did not notice his small movements at all.

Qin Wuling, Jinyiwei, and Fu Bo raised their heads from the mountains of case files, the tired look on their faces could not be concealed, the war was about to break out, everyone in the Jin Yiwei was busy, although Ye Qing was ready to set up a military intelligence department, but because the candidates for the military intelligence department had not been decided, this piece was still Fu Bo was in charge, and now the war was imminent, and the busyness could be imagined.

Wu Gang hurriedly ran over, although, but Ji Si Wu Gang is a senior member of the Jinyi Guard, and he is also the old man of the Ye family, he has been in the intelligence work since the day the Jinyi Guard was established, and he is Fu Bo's right-hand man. Maybe he doesn't have as much experience as Fu Bo's old way, but he is young, his thinking is more active, and he can be said to be like a fish in water when it comes to intelligence analysis. Although he knew that the old butler had not slept all night, he felt that the few pieces of information in his hand were too important, so he could only run to find Fubo.

"Wu Gang, what's wrong?" Fu Bo asked when he saw Wu Gang who was hurrying over. Reaching out and rubbing Gui's eyes with two dark circles, Xu patted his cheeks to make himself more sober, stood up, stretched his waist widely, and yawned.

"Old butler, take a look at these pieces of information, I think it's very problematic?"

Although Jinyiwei was set up by Fu Bo, and he is still in charge of it, but people including Ye Qing habitually call it Fu Bo or Butler, which is also his own request.

Fu Bo took the scroll in Wu Gang's hand, and saw that it had been covered in red in some places, and he couldn't help but look up and nod appreciatively at Wu Gang.

After reading the information, Fauber paced back and forth in the room a few times and asked, "Do you think there is a problem here?"

Wu Gang said: "Yes, there must be a problem here, old butler, you see, these pieces of information clearly indicate the number of barbarian troops and the number of returns, but compared with the military report in Xincheng, you can find that this number is not right!"

Fu Bo returned to the table, flipped out the military report sent back by Xincheng, compared the two with each other, his face couldn't help but be shocked, and he immediately understood what Wu Gang wanted to say: "Do you think Anima has more and less returns, he quietly assembled an army between Xincheng and Yangcheng. ”

Wu Gang nodded and said: "I just think so, but I don't know what their goal is? Attacking Yangcheng, it's impossible, it's impossible for this point of men and horses to pose a threat, it's even more impossible to attack Qin Wuling, what does Anima want to do?"

Fu Bo pressed his hands on the desk, closed his eyes and pondered, Anima's move has been planned for a long time, if he wants to hit something, it must be Qin Wuling's soft threat, and in this area, where is Qin Wuling's soft threat?

Xincheng, Yangcheng, granary, Fu Bo gently read in his mouth, yes, granary! Fu Bo's face turned pale, the other party's target must be the granary of Yangcheng.

Since the new city has not been built for a long time, the food is not self-sufficient, but to supply hundreds of thousands of troops and people, and they want to consume a lot of food every day, so they can only rely on Yangcheng to provide, and at the same time, due to the relationship between the new city, Yangcheng has become an internal zone, so where a huge granary has been established to support the new city.

Grabbing the information, Fauber strode out.

"Old butler, where are you going?" Wu Gang shouted.

"I'm going to find Mr. Wen!" said Fu Bo, who was flying fast.

"Are you sure you made a mistake?" Old Man Wen's hand trembled a little, looked at Fu Bo, and asked with some suspicion: "Li Xin on the front line actually didn't notice it at all?"

Fu Bo said: "There is absolutely no mistake, even if I am mistaken, this kind of thing, I would rather believe it than believe it, Elder Wen, Master Hou is not here, you are the person who presides over the overall situation of Qin Wuling, what should I do now?"

Elder Q let out a long breath, thought for a moment, and said, "Immediately order the Yangcheng garrison Seinfeld to immediately reinforce the granary, and strive to find out and destroy this enemy?"

Wu Gang, who followed Fu Bolai, was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Old Wen, if you do this, this barbarian army is likely to see that the wind is wrong, turn around and flee, and we won't get anything."

"What do you want to do?" Old Wen glared, "The granary is very important, can't you get out of Yao Lu?"

Wu Gang sneered: "Anima can hide such an army, needless to say, this army must be the elite of his elite, since he has penetrated into our belly and is detected by us, why don't we eat him and digest him!"

"Don't I want to eat him? But I transferred troops from there, the elite army is on the front line, and there are only some garrison soldiers left in the city under the leadership of Qin Wu, and the combat strength is limited. ”
