Chapter 443: Victory in the First Battle
Du Wu and the others saw that the enemy's grain and grass were burned, and they were afraid that less than one percent of the grain that could be snatched out of the fire was less than one percent, so they took advantage of the chaos to leave the enemy camp and made a detour back to their vanguard camp. Several people traveled very fast, and they arrived before dawn.
I saw that all the personnel in the camp were celebrating, because of the fire in the rear of the enemy last night, there was a discovery here, the fire burned all night, and now Du Wu and they rushed back, the fire was still not extinguished, and half of the sky in the rear of the enemy army was red. The enemy's front camp was also in chaos for a while, but it didn't take long for it to calm down. Obviously, there were generals who knew how to govern the army and calmed down the chaos in the army.
Of course, our battalion knew what was going on with the fire, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.
When they returned to the camp, all the soldiers burst into earth-shattering cheers and cheers. Welcome to the triumphant return of the squad warriors.
It didn't take long for Hua Zhixiao's rear army to send heralds, and they naturally saw the fire and knew that Du Wu had successfully burned the enemy's grain and grass. Hua Zhi smiled and was overjoyed, and ordered the herald to reward all the former soldiers, especially the members of the squad who went to set fires. However, except for Du Wu and the four elders in the team, the rest of them all came to help, and Hua Zhixiao couldn't give them an official rank. So he could only order the herald to express his heartfelt thanks to Hua Zhixiao. At the same time, Du Wu and the four elders, as well as the mirage Xiaobei, were awarded the Flower Barbarian Warrior Medal. This Medal of Warrior requires great merit for the Flower Barbarians to obtain. The four elders have made great contributions to the Flower Barbarian Clan for so many years, and they have only received the Warrior Medal once. This time, it felt extremely easy. The three of them cherished the medal and put it away, which is a symbol of honor and is undoubtedly extremely valued.
Among them, the happiest is naturally the mirage demon Xiaobei, as a demon clan, this time he signed a soul contract with Du Wu, and for the first time he did something for the flower barbarians, he made such a great contribution and got such a high honor, Xiaobei was very excited in his heart. He never thought that he could be respected by so many people as a demon. When all the soldiers and generals looked enviously at the Warrior Medal in his hand and chanted the name of Xiaobei Xiaobei. Once again, he felt that the soul contract with Du Wu could not have been more correct, and he might go to a completely different life in the future.
After the carnival and awards, everyone calmed down and held a military meeting to make a good analysis of the situation in front of them.
Everyone is also quite vigilant about the composure shown by the enemy, which shows that the enemy has already thought of a countermeasure.
After everyone's analysis, it is believed that the enemy's strategy is nothing more than the following points. There will be a certain amount of grain and grass reserves in the former army, but generally not more than ten days. The enemy may launch a frantic attack during these ten days, and once the war can be won in the ten days, food and grass will not be a problem. At the same time, their rear will also speed up the transportation of grain, but it is far away from their base area, and the road is difficult, so it may take some time to transport grain here, and they may find other ways to get some food, such as going to some nearby villages to grab grain. Although Hua Zhixiao has caused the nearby tribesmen to relocate, there will still be some unharvested grain in the fields, which may become a target for the enemy.
In response to these tactics of the enemy, our army also made corresponding defensive strategies. First of all, in these days, to avoid launching a large-scale battle with the enemy, now the enemy is in a hurry and I am not in a hurry, the enemy's food and grass can hold on to a limited time, and we will inevitably be in a hurry to attack, we only need to hold on, until the enemy's food and grass is exhausted, we have to retreat, and then our army will either chase or disturb, and there will be more choices. In addition, we will send some troops to burn all the grain that the nearby villages will have time to harvest in the future, so that we cannot use it, and we will not give the enemy a chance to obtain this food.
