Regardless of the arsenal and armament, even if the food in the warehouse of Feihong City is at least enough to meet the needs of the army on the front line in March. The grain hoarded in the barns was for the purpose of preparing for famine and war, and according to the regulations, it should be able to meet the needs of the city for a year. Even if half of the poor have been transferred, there are still a lot left. This is also because Feihong City is far away from the front line of Longma City, and it is inconvenient to transport materials over long distances, and those cities that are closer to the front line should have more inventory materials that have been transferred.

Feihong City was only besieged for five days, so there was no consumption of the grain in the warehouse, and there was no famine in the territory this year, so it was able to become a small amount of military rations, and the problem of local supply on the front line was solved in a large way.

Shao Wu chose to march in early autumn, also taking this problem into account. When he captured the city, the wheat in the fields had not yet had time to be harvested, so he persuaded the people to go home and harvest the grain. By the time he occupied Feihong City and the army crossed the water and continued to advance towards the hinterland of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, the grain in the city along the way should have been harvested, and the military rations just handed over by the people were still in the warehouse, and the poor would not have time to be transferred away.

If the army is marched at another time, even if Shaowu captures the cities along the way, I am afraid that most of the warehouses will be empty, because the grain stocks should have been transferred away from each other. The important supplies that Shao Wu wanted to obtain in the next march were the new grain harvested by the cities this year, and it was just collected by the Xiangmuro Kingdom for him.

According to the latest battle report, the Xiangmuro National Soldier Zhengyuxuan has ordered to use Yue Geng as the commander, gather the garrison formations of Gaocheng, Shanshui City, and Jiuzhang City, and deploy defenses on the western front of Luoshui, and at the same time mobilize the reserve army in the hinterland to reinforce it, so as to block the footsteps of the Shaowu army and wait for Xiangqi to break through the capital of Bamur. In addition to the two army formations in Shanshui City, there were also a large number of army formations that were ordered to go to the front line, relying on the geographical advantages to block the enemy at various checkpoints and passes.

The next step of the war will not be as smooth as it is now, and the Shaowu army must carry out a field battle under relatively unfavorable conditions and win by virtue of its combat strength and strength superiority. In order to quickly assemble a large army to attack the weak points of the opponent's defensive line, it is necessary not only to have the most accurate and timely information, but also to cross the water as quickly as possible.

Forcibly crossing the river is certainly difficult. It is easy to be attacked by the other side, and even if the military formation can get by, a large number of logistics and heavy transportation will be a problem. Huwa knew that there was a road that did not need to cross the river, that is, from the edge of the wilderness in the north of Gaocheng to Baixi Village, which he had walked before. But it was a small road, not suitable for large armies, and it was a long way and a big circle.

Small groups of troops can attack and harass, but large armies cannot cover their tracks, so it is better to advance in accordance with the art of war in a regular manner. Less important do not take this path. However, he wanted to prevent the Yuegeng army from sneaking in from that direction to sneak in, so his original defense line was deployed to Shuangliu Village, the only place to pass from Baixi Village to Feihong City.

Before going to Baixi Village, Shaowu originally wanted to persuade Lingbao to withdraw all the clansmen of Baixi Village to Shuangliu Village, regardless of whether Yue Geng would send troops to bypass the trail to attack and disturb him, to prevent this from happening. However, after returning from Baixi Village, Shao Wu changed his plan and directly sent an army formation to deploy defense in Baixi Village.

The route suitable for the march of the army today is a bridge on the water. The bridge is 20 zhang long and wide enough for two carriages to travel in error. It is built with strips of stone, which is very strong. It was built sixty years ago with the help of Xiangsha, a group of workers and a large number of people, located in the west of Feihong City, and the tiger baby also walked across the bridge when chasing Yan Lingzhu.

It is the choke point connecting the two sides of the water. After crossing the bridge, there is a road through Jiuzhang City and Taihe City to the national capital. After the Shaowu army entered Feihong City, they captured the bridge as soon as possible. Hongyuan had withdrawn the army defending the bridge to the city at that time, but did not order the destruction of the bridge. So it was very smoothly occupied by the Shaowu.

The bridge had been reinforced by elephants with great mana, and it was very difficult to destroy it. And Hongyuan still wanted to wait for the army of Aimuro to come to reinforce at that time, of course, he had to keep the bridge. It is convenient for the army to cross the water in the east, but now it is convenient for the young army to lead the army westward. After Shao Wu seized the bridge, he sent a heavy army to guard it, and gave a death order, this bridge must not be lost, it will be the lifeline between the front line and the rear.

Before the Shaowu army came to the east bank of the water and prepared to attack the Yuegeng defense line, there was one more thing to settle first, and that was the agreement he made with Ruoshan. The day after entering the city, the tiger baby left Feihong City and rushed to Baiju City.

There was a large camp in the territory of Hakukoma Castle, southwest of the castle. It was originally a place for the Xiangmuro National Customs Defense Army to hoard baggage, and was later captured by Shaowu, and it is still used to hoard military supplies. When Shaomu marched, a lot of materials needed to be transported from Jinsha City in the territory of Bamuro, and there were barracks and warehouses along the way, which was the largest here.

When the tiger baby came to the White Opera City, she quietly issued a royal order, and things were constantly transported away, and things were brought in. This camp was originally a transit point, where the materials brought from Sands Cotai were stored, and then transported to the front after unified allocation, and the cattle and horses and vehicles came in and out normally, and in time for the autumn harvest, all the warehouses were piled up and transported.

......

Ruoshan led the two armies of Shanshui City, left Yuegeng's army and marched downstream along the west bank of the river, and finally chose a hidden place to cross the river. Both sides of the bank are wilderness, surrounded by large forests and inaccessible to people, and although the water is wide, the current is gentle. What's more, there are large tidal flats on both sides of the river, which are suitable for going back and forth.

The two armies were about 100 people, and of course they had to carry food with them on a long march, and in order to prevent the fire from being exposed, they carried dry food. In the nearest quartermaster camp, they received enough dry food for five days, and now two days have passed. In other words, whether or not they succeeded in crossing the river, they had to return within three days.

If someone is spying on them, they will find that Wakayama has carried out military orders to the letter, and all actions are arranged carefully and reasonably. The army marched through the dense forest to the tidal flats on the riverbank, and there was no fire to cook along the way, so as not to be discovered by the people on the other side. They cut down coarse bamboos and made a number of bamboo rafts, which could cross an entire army at a time if they were to prop up the raft down the river with a long penny.

In order to be as stealthy as possible, Wakayama decided to cross the river in the middle of the night, without torches and only with the help of moonlight. There was a forest owl hovering in the night sky, and ten bamboo rafts went down the river and quietly drifted to the opposite bank. The soldiers then quickly dragged the bamboo raft to the dense forest and hid it, and set up temporary defensive positions around it.

Wakayama only led one army across the river, and the other army remained on the opposite bank. When crossing the river, they were most afraid of being attacked, so they had to leave enough men on the shore to meet them, and when they retreated in the future, the same would be the case, so they could not bring all the men over.

Yue Geng didn't plan to let them go back, but Ruoshan still wanted to bring everyone back to Shanshui City, even if he trusted Shaowu, just in case.

After the army crossed the river, everyone stayed where they were to rest, but Ruoshan and Bozhuang climbed the commanding heights nearby. A forest owl flew from a distance, landed on the ground and turned into a human form and said: "Master, I have already found out clearly, although that big camp is guarded by a military formation, but there is no one in the camp, it is not difficult to touch it." ”

Ruoshan nodded and said, "Then you can go, don't forget my advice, follow Lord Peng Keng's family well, and obey his orders and instructions in everything." ”

Bo Zhuang watched the figure of the flying bird disappear again, and frowned: "Yue Geng's military order is for us to cross the river and attack and burn down the logistics baggage battalion of Shaowu. Although you have an agreement with Shaowu, can you only send Lin Xiao alone?"

Ruoshan smiled bitterly: "Igniting a fire is not a war, as long as you can light it, it doesn't matter if there are many people." The young man knew that we were coming, and he put a battalion full of supplies there for us to burn, but we also had to have the ability to burn it! My agreement with him was a top-secret military situation, and no one else would know about it except for those who were present at the time.

Although the battalion had adjusted its defenses, and it was not difficult for the master to infiltrate, the guards would never know about such an agreement. If we lead the army forward, we will inevitably be discovered, and we will inevitably be surrounded and annihilated, and then we will really not be able to come back! The only person who can sneak into such a camp and calmly set fire to it is Lin Xiao, and there are still people waiting for him over there. ”

Bo Zhuang: "Then what should we do?"

Wakayama: "In the middle of the night, if that big camp burns, the fire can be seen far away on the other side. I have told the garrison camp in the rear where we will cross the river, and when the fire starts, I will wait for news from Shu Zhuang to see if anyone will come to take us back across the river?"

......

The barracks of the Shomu Battalion and the Guard Army Formation were stationed on the east side near the main road to facilitate the entry and exit of the command vehicles. Now that this is the rear of the war, and it is very close to the Sands City of Bamuro, no one would have thought that there would be a large number of enemies attacking, and the soldiers had already fallen asleep in the middle of the night.

In the middle of the open space fenced by one storehouse after another, the tiger baby was looking up at the moonlight with her hands behind her back. A black dot appeared next to the moonlight in the sky, which became larger and larger and gradually revealed the outline of a bird, and finally landed and turned into a forest owl.

When Lin Xiao saw the tiger baby, he stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Peng Keng, the master ordered me to come to burn the camp, and then let me stay and follow you." ”

Huwa waved her hand and said, "Don't call me Master Peng Keng in the future, just call me Senior Brother." The mountain master is a master in the world and my elder, so I will treat you as a junior brother. ...... You flew here in your original body, and you didn't bring anything to start a fire, do you want me to burn it for you?"

Lin Xiao: "Spell casting can make fire, no need for something to start fire." ”

Huwa: "The faster the action, the better, otherwise the garrison will be alarmed, and many people will rush to fight the fire, so I'll help you." ”

As soon as he waved, several large bundles of things flew out of the storeroom next to him, all of which were wheat straw tied with long grass leaves after drying. And there was nothing else in all the storehouses of this big battalion, all piled with such wheat straw. It is now the autumn harvest season, and after Shaomu captured Hakukoma Castle, he asked the local people to return to their hometowns to cut wheat, and it was easy to collect a large amount of wheat straw on the spot.
