Chapter 800 The bumpy road (1)

I have been marching in the snow for two days, and the red flag has stopped dancing and has been frozen to the point of falling. Every once in a while, I have to put down and clean up the snow on it.

The heavy snow brought difficulties to the march, but there were some benefits. The traces of the Mo Army passing by were clearly seen on the snow. Jiang Anyi looked at the messy hoof prints on the ground with a serious expression. A scout rushed to carefully check the hoof prints, and carefully crushed the horse manure that fell on the ground. After a while, it was reported to Jiang Anyi: "The snow covered the horse's hoof and the horse manure had not been frozen yet. It is estimated that this group of Mo Army passed by two quarters of an hour ago. Looking at the hoof prints and the ruts on the ground, the number of people was about 20,000, and there were 500 vehicles."

Jiang Anyong leaned closer and said, "Brother, these wolf cubs must have gone to rob the baggage, otherwise how could they go with us? 20,000 people, a big piece of fat. Brother, let's catch up and destroy them."

Jiang Anyi shouted coldly: "There are only generals in the army, don't be frivolous." Seeing that his younger brother was facing "yes", Jiang Anyi was both angry and funny, and continued to say with a stern face: "Send the order to find a shelter to rest."

When it was approaching Shenmeng, when it was time to set up camp, the scouts led the troops to the campsite they had found in advance. This was an east-west valley. The cold wind was blocked by the north slope. Some trees at the bottom of the ditch were cut down as fuel. More than a hundred large pots were boiled, and fried bean flour and dried meat were poured into a pot. On snowy days, there was a hot food, and no one could complain. The sky was gloomy, and the smoke produced by the fire was torn to pieces by the wind, so there was no need to worry about exposing the station.

The army did not bring a tent when it marched. Each of them brought a bundle of thick linoleum. When they were sleeping, they laid it on the ground, put some hay for feeding horses, and stayed with the war horse nest to keep warm with each other. People could carry food with them, and the fodder and beans for feeding horses were transported to horse carriages. Nearly a thousand cars were surrounded at the outermost point, which was a simple car village.

After dinner, Jiang Anyi summoned generals above the fifth rank to discuss the matter. The topic was the Mo army he found. Everyone almost agreed to eat the Mo army in unison. Jiang Anyi calculated the itinerary and had already walked 160 miles in two days, only seventy miles away from the baggage team. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be able to arrive one day in advance. Even if we delay some time in attacking the Mo army tonight, it will not affect the rendezvous and the baggage team.

For a time, the Mo army has been attacking the Zheng army, so the opportunity to avenge a single arrow cannot be spared. Jiang Anyi not only wanted to take revenge, but there were many soldiers who were frostbite in the past two days. If they could rob some frostbite from the Mo army, there would be fewer frostbite in their clothes; there were also horses, and if they were short of horses, the speed of the army could be increased, and the combat capability could be improved a lot; there were also prisoners, which had difficulty transporting supplies on snowy days, and the husbands were also raised by their parents. It was really hard to push carts on ice and snow, but prisoners could not treat them as humans. They might as well let them do any tiring and hard work. Jiang Anyi clapped his hands and decided to attack the Mo army at night.

Judging from the hoof marks left, this group of desert troops should be not far from them, probably within a range of twenty miles. Jiang Anyi and the scouts were placing on the map, and there were indeed three locations, all of which were located in the mountains and valleys to hide from the wind and snow.

It is the responsibility of the scouts to determine the specific location. In the past two days of march, Jiang Anyiduo dealt with the scouts. He admired their various strange skills. No wonder the saying goes, "Three hundred and sixty things, every one is ready to go."

"The top scorer" is amazing to do anything to the extreme.

Seeing the scouts putting the sheepskin coat on their bodies, their whole body was covered in white, and they were mixed with the world, Jiang Anyi was intrigued and smiled and said, "Zhao Biao, how about I'll go with you?"

Zhao Biao is the captain of the scout and the sixth-rank captain Zhaowu. He looked at Jiang Anyi carefully and said, "It's okay to go with his skills, but he can't ride that dark horse. Although he has high skills, he must obey my command when he goes outside."

Jiang Anyi nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, that's right."

Three locations were divided into three groups, each with five people. Jiang Anyi followed Zhao Biao to the southeast, 17 miles away from the base, and it was a willow-shaped valley. The grassland people called it Buqicha. It used to be a grazing land for several small tribes. When the Zheng army went north, the herdsmen withdrew with the Mo army, and the place was abandoned. The area of ​​Buqicha was large enough to easily accommodate tens of thousands of people, and the 20,000 Mo army was likely to stay here.

The snow stopped, the wind was strong, the snow was about a foot deep, and the horses were not moving fast, and it took half an hour for seventeen miles to go. It was about to pick it up into the valley, and Zhao Biao signaled to leave the horse, leaving one to watch the horse, and led everyone to walk forward. Zhao Biao became more forty years and was short, but he was quick to move, jumping forward on the snow like a snow rabbit, and he could not find his whereabouts if he didn't pay attention.

Jiang Anyi learned it while learning it, but he realized that it seemed simple and was not easy. The back of him was in a mess, far from as smooth as others, and the traces left were very shallow. Old Wang beside him taught Jiang Anyi several ways to remove the traces. With the true energy as a foundation, Jiang Anyi learned very quickly. Old Wang praised in a low voice: "Sir, I, Old Wang, have been practicing for a long time before I learn it, and I understand it as soon as I hear it."

Zhao Biao took everyone around in a big circle, came to the windy place in the south, and then quietly climbed to the top of the slope. Jiang Anyi finally had the power of force, and his spiritual sense spread. The breathing sounds ten feet away could not escape his ears. The secret whistles hiding in the snow were found one by one by Jiang Anyi. Afraid of alerting the snake, Zhao Biao told Jiang Anyi not to disturb them, but retreated quietly. It was already confirmed that the desert army was stationed in Buqibu.

There is no suspense in the battle. Forty thousand light cavalry faced 20,000 sleeping Mo soldiers, and they won a great victory. They killed nearly 5,000 Mo people, captured more than 8,000 people, and more than 6,000 Mo cavalry broke through and fled. When cleaning the battlefield, Jiang Anyi was delighted to see nearly 10,000 war horses seized, and more than 400 carriages loaded with food, arrows, herbs and other supplies.

When interrogating the prisoners, they learned that the Mo army was going to plunder the Zheng army's supplies. The Mo people received the news that the Zhenbeicheng was transporting supplies and sent 100,000 troops to detour south in three groups. Jiang Anyi was very lucky to meet the Mo army's supplies team that was transporting supplies. From the prisoners' mouths, they learned that the brigade of Mo cavalry was half a day earlier than them, only twenty miles away from the Zheng army's supplies team, and they were preparing to launch an attack before tomorrow.

At this moment, Chou is approaching, and there are still two hours left after Mao hour, and it is seventy miles away, so it should be too late to deliver the letter. If a moqi escapes, it is extremely risky to go to deliver the letter. Jiang Anyi sent all scouts except Zhao Biao and other fifteen others, hoping to prepare through the baggage team. The 80,000 moqins should not be underestimated.

Sending off the scout team, Jiang Anyi divided the 40,000 light cavalry into two teams, one guarding the prisoners, supplies, guarding the camp, and the other team was his own.

Since he led the command to rescue the baggage team. The task of guarding the prisoners was handed over to Jiang Anyong. Jiang Anyong looked reluctant. Jiang Anyi cursed: "Do you think it is easy to protect the camp? Just now, more than 6,000 Mo cavalry escaped, so he would definitely tell other Mo troops. The direction of the 80,000 Mo troops is unknown. They may attack the baggage camp, or they may counterattack this place. There are nearly 10,000 Mo people prisoners here, and a large amount of supplies, like a gunpowder cartridge, which may ignite an explosion at any time. If you think it is easy, I would rather you go to rescue the baggage camp and I will take people to defend here."

Jiang Anyong's face turned red. As the chief general, he went to pick up the baggage battalion under the order of the general. It was his duty to rush to help overnight. Moreover, after the general arrived at the baggage battalion, everything would be commanded by his brother, so his brother had to go. Jiang Anyong said with confidence: "Please rest assured, General, the last general must guard the camp well and not let the desert people have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Jiang Anyi patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "After I leave, you move the camp to a high place, use vehicles as walls around you, build trenches with snow, and pour them with water. Let the prisoners of the desert do it without pity. If there is any resistance, kill them. Build the body in the snow. It is cold enough to freeze in the snow wall to block the Moqi."

"If the Moqi attacks in large numbers, you can guard it. If you can't guard it, burn the vehicles, food, supplies, and supplies together, and shoot the prisoners. You can lead the crowd to break through and meet me. Don't defend it. Do you understand?" Jiang Anyi looked serious and his voice was stern, staring at his younger brother.

Jiang Anyong was a little dazed. His expression seemed to be like a brother in Pingshan Town holding a bamboo branch in his hand and teaching himself to read and read. He felt warm in his heart and smiled and said, "Brother, I understand, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I have fought more battles than you." Jiang Anyi reached out to twist his younger brother's ear and taught him a lesson: "I've grown up and my wings are hard, I can't say you anymore."

The two brothers looked at each other and laughed. Although the cold wind was biting, it was hard to hide the warm current in their hearts.

At the time of Mao, the Zheng army's baggage camp was four or five miles away. Jiang Anyi heard the sound of trumpets and fighting. Zhao Biao came to report: "There are about 60,000 people in the desert who are attacking the baggage camp. The baggage camp is guarding the village, and there is nothing to do for the time being."

Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief. The Moqi launched an attack on time, which would be worth a fight. Moreover, if there were 60,000 Moqi here, it means that An Yong had to face at most more than 20,000 Moqi. The 20,000 light cavalry had been marching for two hours on the snowy night and was exhausted. Jiang Anyi heard that the baggage camp could still hold on, so he ordered a rest for a while.

Kunbo looked at Zhengzhai surrounded by snow walls and couldn't help but feel irritated. At the end of the Chou, he received the news that Buqicha was attacked by Zheng's army. After thinking about it again and again, Kunbo decided to send 20,000 people to gather the remaining troops and act according to the opportunity. The main force 60,000 people launched an attack on the Zhengzhai's baggage battalion, striving to break through the camp earlier and then fight back against the Zhengzhai army.
