Chapter 292: Chen Meng's Response
The cold night came again, and the ghost soldiers leaned together to keep out the cold, and they didn't dare to light a fire.
Once Chen Meng discovers their traces, they will inevitably end up annihilated.
It is no coincidence that Ah Ning appeared here, she was waiting for the army of Chen Guo's army to transport grain.
When Bai Zimo started to fight with Chen Meng, she didn't want to make a move, and her appearance might expose her intentions, leading to a failure in the end.
The so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and it took nearly a year for the army of Chen Guo to send enough grain and grass for tens of thousands of troops to fight for a long time when they attacked Hancheng.
Even if there are only more than 10,000 people left, the daily need for food and grass is an astronomical amount.
Chen Guo's army broke through the cold city and went straight to Baidu, and there was no time to transport grain and grass in advance.
And Chen Meng's army could not march with the army with enough grain and grass, so he wanted to take the white capital as quickly as possible. And carrying a large amount of grain and grass will greatly slow down the speed of the march.
The army of the White State was only a mile faster than Chen Meng's army, and if the army of the Chen State carried a large amount of grain and grass, it would not be possible to be so fast.
Therefore, Chen Meng must have arranged another army to transport grain and grass. A grain transport team that followed Chen Guo's army and was a few days late!
The number of this army will definitely not be small, and because of Chen Meng on the frontal battlefield, he can rest assured that he will divide his troops to transport grain.
Another reason is that although the white country has been defeated, there is at least one Bai Zimo.
He had to give that army the strength to resist the Realm Qi Refiners, so there must be quite a few of them. But how many there are, Ah Ning doesn't know.
The haste with which the White Army was defeated has been lacking in this regard.
So Ah Ning was gambling, betting that Chen Meng would not bring more than five days of grain and grass. Each soldier carried three days' worth of dry rations, and another two days' of grain and grass with the army. It can not only ensure the speed of marching, but also will not affect the combat effectiveness due to the shortage of grain and grass.
It's just that she didn't expect that she was still on the way to cut off the grain road with a thousand ghost troops, and she saw Bai Zimo who was violently beaten by Chen.
But Bai Zimo can't be blamed for this, it's still a question of whether he can lure Chen Meng away when the two armies fight.
If she was Chen Meng, she would definitely beat the main force of the Bai Guo army until it was overwhelmed, and then she would think about dealing with Bai Zimo.
It would naturally be best if Bai Zimo could lure out Chen Meng in advance, but he never thought that Bai Zimo would be put on a swing by Chen Meng.
What Bai Zimo has to do is simple, that is, fly at a high place and throw thunder into Chen Guo's camp. Even if Chen Meng didn't care about him and rushed to Bai Capital, then Bai Zimo could slowly wear down the military strength of Chen Guo's army.
But now that Chen Meng found Ah Ning in the rear of his army, he naturally thought of something.
Bai Zimo made that kind of move, it was obvious!
"Is there any movement ahead?" Chen Meng, who had returned to the barracks with a thousand troops, asked Chen Shui, who was guarding the camp.
Chen Shui looked at the soldier who seemed to be extremely frightened after Chen Meng, and didn't know what was going on.
When the thousand people left with the wounded, Chen Meng called Chen Shui to the camp
tells him that he wants to go out, but he can't let anyone else know.
Chen Shui didn't know what Chen Meng was doing, and he didn't know what this army had gone through.
Not only did they not send the wounded back to the cold city, but there were more?
In fact, the number of this army was much smaller. Most of the burned soldiers failed to come back, and the current wounded were all injured in the aftermath of the battle between Chen Meng and Bai Zimo.
Those who had faced Bai Zimo head-on were all dead.
"Some of the spies did not come back, presumably dead, but found no trace of the enemy. β
Chen Shui saw that Chen Meng's heart didn't seem to be very good, and there were blood stains on his arms, which seemed to be injured.
"It seems that the other party is trying to rob us of our grain. Chen Meng pointed to a route on the map and said, he planted a white flag there: "Today I met the commander of the right army of the White Country, she must have brought an army there!"
"Does the general mean that the elite ghost army in the right army?" Chen Shui knew that this army was strong, and in the cold city, it was thousands of soldiers with ghost faces who stubbornly blocked the pace of his Chen Guo's army's attack.
If this ghost army is in their rear, then they will not be able to sleep well, but they don't know how many people there are.
In the battle of Cold City, the ghost army also suffered heavy losses, after all, they are also bloody, just the head of the ghost army, there are nearly a thousand of them in their camp.
"It seems that she wants to replicate Xu Dingbang's achievements back then, naΓ―ve!" Chen Meng snorted coldly, Xu Dingbang was able to succeed back then, and the right time, place and people were indispensable.
Now that Bai Guo is in a disadvantageous position in all aspects, he wants to see how Ah Ning will cut off his food channel!
"Have the other generals come and see me. After saying that, Chen Meng went to bandage his wound by himself, and until now he couldn't figure out why Ah Ning was able to hurt him.
Obviously he is not a qi refiner, but he can hurt people in the air. The people who fought against him in the past were either Xu Dingbang or Bai Yingwu's father and son, but he had never fought against A Ning.
Although he also knew the prestige of the ghost general, after all, it was the prestige of killing him Chen Guoshi. He had never seen Ah Ning use this method before.
Ah Ning's breakthrough was actually during this time, although he had also used sword qi to kill the enemy in the formation, but at that time, Chen Meng had never seen it in the battle with Bai Zimo.
Soon, the eight deputy generals of Chen Jun gathered in Chen Meng's camp tent, waiting for Chen Meng to speak.
Chen Meng didn't like these lieutenant generals, many of them were relatives of the Chen family, or they were related to the court.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a qi refiner, he might not be able to sit in prison as the main general. Anyway, although his surname is Chen, he is an outsider with no foundation, and he has not made any great achievements in the past few years.
Xu Dingbang's death had nothing to do with him, and he was also very surprised to hear that he was knocked to the ground by an arrow by a soldier of his Chen State during his inspection.
Although the Qi Refiner is very strong, people always have to serve the old. Below the heavenly realm, the lifespan is no different from that of ordinary people.
Although these lieutenant generals did not disobey Chen Meng's orders, Pingli also relied on someone in the court and did not overly bastard
Marry your own boss.
There is only one Chen Shui who is clothed and reused by Chen Meng, and these people also look down on Chen Shui, feeling that he and them are not all the way.
"From now on, the speed of the march will be increased by three percent, and you will each restrain your subordinates, and those who fall behind will be served by military law!" Chen Meng did not say much to greet, and ordered directly.
"Dare to ask the general, why is this?" asked an elderly veteran, "our march is already very fast, no matter how fast it is, it will be difficult for the supplies in the rear to keep up, and if something happens, the soldiers will be hungry." β
"Presumably General Chen Yan has already told you that in our rear, there is a Qi Refiner blocking our grain route. Chen Meng was not in a hurry, looking at the thoughtful looks of the people below.
"Grain and grass is a first-class major event in the march, that Bai Zimo is a qi refiner, dare to ask the general to kill this bureaucracy!" The old general's voice was sonorous, and Chen Meng was almost moved when he heard it.
Secretly scolded the old horseman: "If you can kill me, you will kill him, but he was rescued, and the person who shot it was Xu Ning, the main general of the White Country." β
"That girl, how could she appear there?" Several lieutenants looked at each other: "There is really no one in the White Kingdom, and he actually uses women to lead the troops, and regards the country as a child's play, and it should be destroyed." β
Although they were surprised, these people didn't care, in their eyes, Ah Ning was nothing at all, just a woman.
But Bai Zimo and they really have no way, it's not that there is no way, if they take thousands of people to encircle and suppress Bai Zimo, it is not impossible.
But Bai Zimo is a qi refiner, even if thousands of centaurs can kill a qi refiner, it will be piled up with human lives.
What if, with their lives?
Chen Meng had already seen through their thoughts, if one day he couldn't pull out these people, he was afraid that he would not abandon his sword and surrender when he saw Bai Zimo.
"Bai Zimo, I will naturally deal with it, and what I asked you to do is another thing. Chen Meng explained why he wanted to increase the speed of his march.
It is too unrealistic for him to guard the grain road, and he can't take care of the seven hundred miles of mountains alone. As for him going to follow the grain transport team, how is this battle still going to be fought?
Let's not talk about who else here has the ability to lead the troops and serve the people, what is the advantage of Chen Guo's army, it is him Chen Meng!
He went down with one punch, and what wall could withstand it? He went to transport grain and let these 10,000 people attack the city by themselves? It is impossible to think about it.
It's not that point yet, so let's talk about it if we really can't transport supplies.
What Chen Meng has to do now is to smash Ah Ning's wishful thinking. Since you are ambushing our grain in the back, then I will go and destroy the army in front of you first!
At that time, Chen Meng will not be in a hurry to return to deal with the nails after that, as long as the speed is fast enough, not to mention that Ah Ning can't come back with an elite, even if he can arrive?
Chen Meng knew that they didn't want to face him head-on, so there would be no chance of victory, but it would be a big mistake to think that cutting off the grain road would be able to hold him back!
After the order was passed down, the marching speed of Chen Guo's army increased in vain, constantly shortening the distance between him and Zhang Fengnian.
Follow this
speed, one day later, you can catch up with Zhang Fengnian and others, two days later, you can get out of the mountains, and one day, you will reach Baidu!
As long as Zhang Fengnian's army meets Chen Meng, there will be no second result at all, and Chen Meng alone can make them powerless to resist, not to mention that he still has an army.
Ah Ning and the others lurking on the mountain didn't know that Chen Meng had started to act at this time, but Ah Ning didn't have a stupid expectation, Chen Meng was indifferent to her appearance behind enemy lines.
More than a dozen spies had already been sent out to monitor the movements of Chen Guo's army. These dozen or so people are all good hands in the army, and Ah Ning has passed on his return to the sea to these thousand people.
You looked at the soldiers who were meditating and practicing one by one, if they were given time, not to mention that they had all reached the realm of seeking truth, it was a thousand clear realms, and Chen Meng would have to weigh it.
It's a pity that they don't have that time, and not everyone is as highly qualified as A Ning Martial Dao.
Zhang Fengnian gnawed on the cold and hard cake, and Ah Ning told him that the first two could let Chen Guo's spies collect the report, but the third must see one and kill the other, so that they could not discover the true military strength of the Bai Army.
After all, if they go further, it will be Baidu.
Just when Zhang Fengnian was amazed by Ah Ning's method of reducing the focus, one of their spies ran back, and it was bloody!
