After several days and nights of long-distance running, Zhao Cheng and Ma Di did not get any rest at all, and the soldiers dragged their tired bodies and almost arrived in Pingyang at a glance.

At this time, the Malay newspaper said: "I just received an urgent report from Pingyang, the enemy army suddenly increased the intensity of the attack, today Mo Jingchun personally led the main force to attack the south gate, the loss in the city is relatively serious, I am afraid it will be difficult to withstand the next attack of the enemy!" ”

Ma Di looked at the emergency report and expressed uneasiness: "What does the enemy want to do, why did he even release this mad dog?" ”

Zhao Cheng couldn't hide his excitement: "I finally caught you on the battlefield, the blood is deep, come and report it today!" ”

Ma Di was very calm, and he persuaded: "General, calm down, I think we should immediately send scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's movements, and make plans after finding out the situation." ”

Zhao Cheng heard that Ma Di wanted to calm down, and he felt very annoyed: "Calm down what? He has my family's blood on his hands! Ma flute? How do you want me to be calm? Besides, isn't the hostile situation clear now? The enemy army is going to take Binh Duong! ”

Ma Di said calmly, "No, General. I understand your current feelings, but at present, our army is about to form a flanking attack with the defenders in the city, we have no need to take risks, and we do not know the number of enemy troops, the number of infantry, the number of cavalry, and the battle damage of equipment. A surprise attack is the advantage of our army, and before that, we have to find out what the enemy is doing. ”

Zhao Cheng shook his head helplessly, and after taking a deep breath, he finally calmed down and decided to find out the situation first.

Mo Jingchun's side is also anxious at the moment, the enemy's reinforcements are too fast, faster than expected, resulting in the tacit understanding between the defenders in the city and the soldiers in the outer city to cooperate with each other has not been established, and the enemy reinforcements have arrived.

Mo Jingchun was staring seriously at a soldier who had covered the area around Pingyang City with a transparent box, and couldn't help but be curious: "What are you doing?" ”

The army raised his head and said with a smile: "General, I have a way, and it may be the most helpless way at the moment." ”

Mo Jingchun suddenly became interested and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

"Divide the 300-strong cavalry unit into 30 reconnaissance squads, each squad is responsible for searching within a radius of ten miles, once the situation changes, we can quickly judge the enemy's intentions, so that we can also understand the dynamics around Pingyang, and our eyes will not be blind, so that our actions can be targeted." ”

"What about the farther away, you must know that the enemy's cavalry maneuverability is very fast, and often before we can react, they have already arrived at the battlefield!"

The army member smiled slightly, "A small number of cavalry disguised as their soldiers were drawn from a distance, and they retreated into the appearance of a remnant of a defeated army, so that they could monitor the periphery on the one hand, and when they came, they could intercept the messengers they sent out as much as possible, cutting off their contact with the outside world." ”

Mo Jingchun nodded with satisfaction, "Let me add, the cavalry on the periphery is literate and literate, and I am useful." ”

After several people studied the map for a while, Mo Jingchun announced: "Action! ”

Before dawn the next day.

According to the previous plan, everything was going on in an orderly manner on Mo Jingchun's side.

Zhao Cheng and Ma Di did not make progress, and built sandbags on a hill not far from the city, piled up sand dunes at the bottom of the mountain, and set up camps.

Mo Jingchun was alone in the tent, looking at the battle map worriedly, sipping bitter tea, at this time, the army ran all the way, looking very anxious, Mo Jingchun looked at him from a distance with a newspaper in his hand.

The army walked to the map and said in horror: "The enemy army has not entered Pingyang, and they are camped on a hill outside the city!" ”

Mo Jingchun stared at the map seriously and said to himself: "It's really spicy! It's a really good location, how are they doing with the camp there? ”

The army replied: "Sandbags have been erected, sand dunes have been piled up, and thistles have been placed in front of the wall. ”

Mo Jingchun couldn't help but be a little disappointed: "I was still looking forward to them attacking me, but I didn't expect it......"

The two sides confronted each other for two days.

On the third day, there was a crazy rainstorm.

In the tent of the army commander, Mo Jingchun still had a sad face, as long as Zhao Cheng and them insisted on not fighting, then he really had no way to deal with him, watching the days pass day by day, his heart was really not good.

His eyes slowly shifted to the wind and rain outside the tent, and his face was still anxious.

Joining the army also looked anxious, he said to Mo Jingchun: "According to the minister's observation, this rain will continue for at least another day, and we can only wait for the enemy to show flaws in this unfortunate storm, or we can come up with a good solution." ”

"Do you know how to predict the time of day?"

"Back to the general's words, I have taught myself a little Qimen Dunjia before, I Ching gossip, and predicting the time of the day is also occasionally spiritual."

Mo Jingchun suddenly, he thought of a method, but he was more lacking in morality, so he hurriedly asked, "You mean, this ghost weather will last at least a whole day?" ”

"Yes, the general has thought of a way to break the enemy?"

Mo Jingchun stood up happily: "Zhao Cheng, since you want to be this shrunken turtle, then don't blame me!" Since they like to stay still in the mountains, let's give them some spice and make them have to move! ”

Mo Jingchun looked at the heavy rain like a note, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed quickly at the corner of his mouth.

In a short time, the army selected a hundred or so men according to the instructions and assembled them at the reserved place.

Mo Jingchun came to the assembly place, and all the sergeants said in unison: "Report to the general, we have assembled here according to the order, please give the general a lecture!" ”

"I don't have much to say, but there's another thing that really has to be said, your mission is not to investigate, your real mission is to take the laxative upstream and sprinkle it in the river!"

Hearing that the real task was to pour laxatives, the soldiers sighed, and some people muttered: "Isn't the method of laxatives too immoral?" ”

Although his voice was very small, he was still known by Mo Jingchun, and what was surprising was that he didn't get angry, but changed his temper in the past, and said in a straight voice: "I know you think this method is very inferior, but I tell you, if we can't win this war, no one will be able to live, and I will tell you, if it weren't for the people downstream, what I asked you to sprinkle would not be a laxative, but a poison, a dead sheep and a dead horse!" ”

The army also stepped forward, adding: "We have nothing to worry about, laxatives don't kill people, they will only make them uncomfortable, force them out, and our goal will be achieved." ”

The soldiers were still resistant, and they were talking about it in the audience. They weren't Mo Jingchun's own soldiers, so they didn't understand General Mo's ruthlessness, and if his own soldiers talked like this, they would have been punished by his military law a long time ago.

Mo Jingchun didn't argue with them either, and said sharply: "Lao Tzu doesn't care what you did before!" Let's just talk about the law today, under my old Mo, the ability must be done first, and Lao Mo will not raise waste! But the most important thing is to be obedient, that is, to listen to military orders, Lao Mo's words are military orders, military orders are like mountains, if there is a violation, don't blame Lao Mo for being ruthless! ”

The soldiers were suppressed by Mo Jingchun's domineering, and the scene instantly became quiet.

"Please find a way to remember this!"
