241: There are so many scouts
In the tent.
Xia Zhining looked at the map in front of the table, on the map, there are lines drawn by Chen Mo, but the lines on it were drawn by Chen Mo according to the thoughts in his mind, so people who don't know the intention will feel that this map is a little messy.
Looking at Chen Mo, who was lying on the wooden bed and reading the book of war, he said, "Hey, when are you going to attack the city, we can't consume them." ”
The military book in Chen Mo's hand was Xia Zhining's.
It must be known that the book of war cannot be bought on the market, and what can be bought is some of the art of war that everyone knows, and it is too coarse.
But these military books of Xia Zhining, for some generals who are eager to progress, are like alcoholics who see fine wine and will treasure it.
This military book also benefited Chen Mo a lot, and every time he reads it, he will have different views.
"Don't worry, Liang Song is the best at scheming, and cautious, we can't break through from the front, we must figure it out slowly, wait and see." Chen Mo is not in a hurry.
On the evening of April 5th.
Zhang He led a group of people out of Tianshui Town.
Zhang He asked this group of people to put on battle armor, and each of them held one or two torches on their bodies and headed in the direction of Falling Horse City.
Soon after Zhang He left, Hu Qiang led a team of people out of Tianshui Town, and this team of people also wore battle armor and deliberately created a big momentum.
Chen Mo knew that he had sent people to the rear of the Yuzhou army.
Liang Song, a scheming person, will naturally do too.
The scouts of the Yuzhou army watched a group of people go towards the Falling Horse City, and their faces suddenly changed slightly, because they were far away and the sky was dark, they couldn't see clearly, so they could only use the estimation method to estimate these two teams, each of which was two or three thousand people.
"It's not good, the thief army has sent troops to support, go back and tell your lordship."
At the same time, on the walls of Tianshui Town.
A strong evening breeze blew, and a defender standing on the city wall suddenly fell in response.
The sergeant on the side was startled, looked left and right, and hurriedly helped the fallen "defender" up, if you look closely, you will find that this defender sergeant is actually a straw dummy.
Liang Song received a letter from the scout on the morning of the 6th.
The thief army was supported by reinforcements last night, about 5,000 men and horses, carrying baggage.
Liang Song's brows furrowed suddenly.
At this moment, Shi Meng hurriedly walked in, still holding a war letter in his hand, and said, "My lord, the thief army has issued us a war letter again, let us go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with them." ”
Shi Meng handed the battle book to Liang Song.
After reading it, Liang Song thought of the scout's report again, and the thief army had increased by 5,000 men, which was obviously a trick to lure the enemy.
"Don't worry about it." Liang Song's fingers tapped lightly on the table, even if the thief army did not have reinforcements to support, it was impossible for him to go out of the city to fight, and if there was a city or not, it was a fool's thing to do.
"Knock Knock"
Suddenly, rumbling drums sounded outside, and the thief army began to shout again.
Liang Song was even more convinced of what he thought.
In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Mo launched another feint attack, with catapults to help, this time instead of throwing firepot bombs, but stone bombs.
Liang Song naturally did not sit idly by, and also fought back with a catapult in the city.
Yet one is outside the city and the other is inside.
The number of stone bullets stored by Liang Song must not be able to consume Chen Mo.
The number of Chen Mo's catapults is also higher.
On the evening of the 6th, Chen Mo launched a night attack, this time not a feint, but a real siege.
Half an hour later, Chen Mo ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops, and this time he attacked the city, and the guards were killed and wounded thousands.
The Yuzhou army in the city also suffered casualties.
On the evening of the 7th, almost all the people and logistics teams in Tianshui Town were dispatched, leaving only a few hundred people, so they were false.
When Liang Song's scouts saw this scene, they were so frightened that they hurried back to tell them.
On the morning of the 8th, Liang Song learned the news, his brows furrowed, and said: "It seems that the thief army can't sit still, and wants to attack the city in an all-round way, so quickly send people back to Shiling County and transfer 5,000 men and horses to come over for reinforcements." ”
"No."
A fast horse galloped out of the back gate of the fallen horse city.
Wei Qing and Sun Meng, who were lying on the top of the mountain and dressed like a rural villager, saw this scene, the two glanced at each other, and Sun Meng hurriedly sent a personal soldier back to tell him.
After learning the news, Chen Mo's eyes lit up slightly: "Liang Song finally couldn't sit still, and gave the order to go down and clear the enemy scouts around the barracks." ”
"No." Liu Ze was ordered to retreat.
……
April 20.
There are still more than ten days before the beginning of summer, and the temperature has rarely risen a lot, Wei Qing and Sun Meng are lying on the top of the mountain, with a grass circle on their heads, sweating under the scorching sun.
"Captain, take a saliva." The soldier brought a water bladder.
Sun Meng took the water bladder, poured a few sips, and then handed it to Wei Qing, who was about to pick it up, but saw the horizon in the distance, hundreds of horsemen galloped over, followed by a large dense black shadow.
Wei Qing hurriedly lowered his stomach a little, so as not to find out.
This dark shadow, after a long while, walked past the foot of the mountain.
Sun Meng's face changed greatly: "Oh no, the enemy army has come to reinforce the troops." ”
"I need to go back and tell Chen Shuai soon." Wei Qing looked at Sun Meng and said, "Captain Sun, you are a seventh-rank martial artist, your legs and feet are fast, you can go back and tell you in person." ”
Sun Meng nodded.
……
The mountains and wilderness five miles away from Falling Horse City.
"Whew!"
Chen Mo's fingers were loosened, like a dragon going out to sea, ready to go, and suddenly the arrow was off the string, like a meteor catching the moon, the arrow cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, between the lightning and flint, the thigh-thick pine tree two hundred steps away was shot out of an arm's thick hole, and then cracks appeared in the hole.
"Click." The pine trees fell in response, stirring up a puff of dust and smoke.
[Name: Chen Mo.] 】
[Age: 18.] 】
[Exercise: Ziyang Yuan Gong (proficient 43312.8/50000).] 】
[Realm: Detachment (Four Grades)]. 】
[Strength: 1333+99.] 】
[Skill: Big Sun One Air Slash (Beginner 2719681/5000000), Sun Arrow (Beginner 13/1000000). 】
Chen Mo glanced at the system panel.
His cloud-chasing arrows had broken through to the sun-shooting arrows.
The additional power of the bow and arrow has skyrocketed from 56 to 99 today.
And the range of aiming at the enemy has also been increased to 200 steps.
"Chen Shuai shoots like a god!" After Cui Shuang was stunned for a short time, he immediately stepped forward and patted his ass.
"Captain, you're back."
At this moment, the voice of the pro-soldier sounded.
Chen Mo looked back, only to see Sun Meng hurriedly walking, came to a position about three feet in front of Chen Mo and stopped, and said respectfully: "Chen Shuai, a group of men and horses arrived in Falling Horse City on the morning of April 20, and his subordinates guessed that this should be Liang Song's reinforcements, with more than 4,000 people. ”
Chen Mo raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand holding the bow to the side, Cui Shuang beside him hurriedly took it, Xia Zhining slowed down for half a beat, and took back the footsteps he took out.
Chen Mo looked at Xia Zhining: "Send an order, let all the generals above the squad leader come to the camp to discuss matters." ”
……
April 22.
Sanwei once again launched a night attack on Fallen Horse City.
This time it's still a feint.
On the way to the feint, Chen Mo took Sun Meng and Xia Zhining, led the Shenyongwei and Shenwuwei, a total of more than 6,000 horses, retreated from the camp, went around Yangcheng, and immediately went straight to Shiling County.
In the camp, all the trap guards remained, and Cui Shuang, Liu Ze, Zhang He and others were in charge, and acted according to Chen Mo's orders.
In the mountains and forests on the outskirts of Yangcheng, there were Liang Song's scouts left behind, in order to prevent soldiers and horses from passing through here, and the scouts should ventilate and report in advance.
At that moment, the scout saw a large field of fire suddenly appear in the distance, like a long dragon.
This made the eyes of the two scouts who stayed here widen.
Both of them are martial artists, after all, if they can be scouts, their strength must be stronger than ordinary people.
"Boss, it looks like a thief army." A scout said.
"It's a thief army, ...... Whoa, poof."
As soon as the scout turned on his horse and wanted to go back to report the news, a feathered arrow flew from a short distance, shot it off his horse, and fell to the ground and died.
The other scout was about to flee when another feathered arrow came and pierced him from behind.
"Da Da Da"
A slightly dull sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a white war horse appeared here, if the two scouts were still alive, you could see that the four hooves of the white horse were wrapped in linen, and on the war horse, it was a young man wearing a red and gold armor, and the young man also held a strong bow.
After confirming that the two of them could no longer die, the young man continued to ride his horse and galloped in the direction of Shiling County with a posture of taking the lead.
The night passed.
"Whoosh!"
A feathered arrow pierced the air with a piercing screech, and in an instant, a scout with a feathered arrow stuck in his back fell from an ancient tree several feet high, and there was no more sound.
Chen Mo rode in front of the scout, turned over and dismounted, and after groping for a while on the corpse, he found something, and immediately said, "There are so many scouts." ”
After Chen Mo withdrew from Falling Horse City, he stayed all night, driving all the way, and found scouts of the Yuzhou army in many mountains and forests.
He's shot no less than five people yet.
"Xue Ling, you're tired, rest for a while." Chen Mo took out the water bladder, fed the snow dragon horse, and seized the dead scout's water bladder.
Two hours later, a long procession appeared on the mountain road in this mountain forest, and it was the Shenyongwei and Shenwuwei who were lagging behind.
"Chen Shuai." Sun Meng and Xia Zhining drove their horses over, and the former said, "Your speed is too high, we can't keep up at all." ”
Chen Mo, who had just rested for a while, got up, touched Xue Longjun's head, and said, "I know, order the whole army to rest, I have to go first and clear all the scouts on the road." ”
After explaining, Chen Mo turned over and rode away.
……
On the other side, in the barracks five miles away from Falling Horse City, Zhang He wore Chen Mo's battle armor, walked around outside the barracks, and after walking around, he returned to the barracks.
Half an hour later, the sound of the thick war drums sounded again, and Zhang He ordered the two battalions of trapped guards to launch a feint attack on the Falling Horse City again, and the momentum was particularly loud.
Liang Song climbed the city wall and looked at the retreating thief army, his brows furrowed slightly, and he always felt that something was wrong.
