Chapter 467: Compassion does not control soldiers
Zhang Mo did not lead the three of them to a crowded place, but instead walked towards the carriages parked under the forest. These carriages were piled with large and small sacks, which must have been filled with grains and grains.
The horses pulling the carriage have been unloaded and are grazing nearby, while the carriage is parked there with its top pole supporting the shaft.
When he got close, Zhang Moyan used his spiritual energy and grabbed a few sacks from the car to use as seats for the others.
Thinking of this, before Zhang Mo could speak, he asked, "Is it because the grain and grass cannot be transported back?"
"Yes," Zhang Mo nodded and pointed to the northwest, "In the past, the military rations allocated by the imperial court were transported from the official road to the north. But now the supply of military rations to the imperial court has been cut off. We can only find a way on our own. Except for the official road to the north, the entire Hanzhong
Under the control of the rebels, we had risked transporting food and grass several times under their noses before, but now the rebels are alert and all roads leading to the camp are heavily guarded."
Zhang Mo paused briefly at this point, then continued, "Hanzhong City has plenty of food, and the rebels have many generals. It was very difficult for us to fight. Some time ago, Yang Shouxin invited a lot of heretics, and
These heretics also invited many evil spirits and ghosts, so we fought harder and harder. After the unsuccessful attack on Liangzhou, the two armies had fallen into a stalemate. At this time, if our army sent troops to receive food and grass, it would be tantamount to going deep alone and would inevitably be attacked.
Rebel interception and siege.”
Before the three people could answer, Zhang Mo said again, "Right now, the army has run out of food. It will take at least half a month for the food team to bypass Hanzhong."
Although Zhang Mo removed several sacks from the carriage, only Batulu sat down. Hearing Zhang Mo's words, Batulu patted his chest and said, "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, we are here."
Things will be easier to handle, no need to go around, just rush over."
Zhang Mo had known for a long time that his eldest brother was not very bright, so he didn't mind hearing his nonsense. He just smiled and nodded, "Eldest brother is invincible and brave. No one can stop you." .??.
People like to hear good words, and Batulu is no exception. He grinned happily when Zhang Mo praised him.
While Zhang Mo was talking to Batulu, Chen Liqiu took a few steps back and sat down on the sack, then pulled a piece of dogtail grass and held it in his mouth. Although he usually did nothing, he was actually both civil and military and resourceful, but now he was
Here, he will naturally not turn his back on guests.
"How many days have you been here?"
asked the student.
"Two days," Zhang Mo said, "This place is only one hundred and fifty miles away from our camp. Fifty miles ahead is the three-way intersection of the official road. I have sent people to investigate. There are at least two thousand rebels stationed there.
"Thirty miles away from our camp is the rebel's front army position. The enemy's front army has 30,000 soldiers and horses, distributed in a fan shape within ten miles of the position."
After listening to Zhang Mo's words, he frowned and nodded. To transport grain and grass back to the camp, he needed to cross two obstacles. If it were a light cavalry, it would not be difficult to cross these two obstacles. However, the grain transport team was slow and not as fast as the cavalry, and the horses were too heavy.
They were moving forward with heavy loads, and there were many goats among them, dragging their families with them, and their moving speed was not even as fast as ordinary infantry.
She was not in a hurry to speak, but walked to a nearby sack and sat down. Zhang Mo was not in a hurry to ask for advice, because she knew very well that the current situation was extremely difficult, and no matter how smart she was, she could not immediately think of a feasible solution.
Seeing the solemn expressions on several people's faces, Batulu said again, "No matter if they have two thousand or thirty thousand, they can't stop us. We can just rush over and kill them all."
When he was thinking deeply, he was most afraid of someone yelling around. Seeing Chen Liqiu wanting to frown and blame Batulu, he spoke first, "Elder brother, there will be a bloody battle later. You can't let your sacred cow fight hungry. Here
There is some rice food, take a bag and feed it."
"Okay." Batulu stood up, grabbed a sack and turned around to leave.
"Hey, hey, put it down quickly, put it down quickly." Chen Liqiu waved his hand to stop him.
"What are you doing? I didn't eat your food." Batulu glared.
"This bag is still beans, you are afraid that it will not fart," Chen Liqiu pointed to the carriage next to him, "Take that, that cart is millet."
"Oh." Batulu changed a bag of millet and went to feed it.
When Batulu walked away, he said, "It's easy to talk about the two thousand in front, but the problem is the thirty thousand in the back. If the thirty thousand in the back get the news, they will immediately gather the soldiers scattered within ten miles and intercept them with all their strength.
By then our food team will definitely not be able to rush through."
After speaking, neither Zhang Mo nor Chen Liqiu answered.
He said again, "The three-way intersection is only seventy miles away from the enemy's front army position. With a beacon signal, the thirty thousand soldiers and horses behind can receive the message."
Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu still didn't answer, saying that they were just analyzing the situation and sorting out their thoughts, not asking for their opinions.
"How many soldiers are there in our food team?" Looking at Zhang Mo...??.
"No more than two hundred," Zhang Mo replied.
Hearing Zhang Mo's answer, he didn't ask any more questions. Two hundred soldiers couldn't do much, and it was almost negligible.
It was definitely a worry, because there was no way to go around and we had to force our way in. Even if we force our way in, we would not be able to use our troops as fast as we could, and we would not be able to alert the enemy's 30,000 advance troops.
It's easy to find problems. Most people's first reaction after encountering a problem is to retreat instead of facing up to the difficulty and finding a way to solve the problem. To judge whether a person is a coward or a brave person, just look at how he encounters difficulties.
When faced with danger, do you retreat passively or rush forward bravely?
After pondering for a long time, he finally thought of a way, and then considered many details in his mind, and then turned to look at Zhang Mo, "You called me here, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Mo did not reply, but glanced at Chen Liqiu who was watching Batulu feeding the cows.
Although Zhang Mo didn't speak, he already knew what she was thinking. Zhang Mo originally thought that he was with Datou and others. Previously, he and Datou Shi Xuanming attacked Qilin Town at night, and the three of them teamed up to kill more than 600 Japanese pirates. If it happened again,
Together with Yang Kai and Yu Yi, the five of them joined forces to wipe out the 2,000 enemy troops at the three forks of the road. After dealing with the 2,000 enemy troops, the five of them joined forces to protect their own food team and break into the enemy.
position.
But Zhang Mo didn't expect that he was not with Da Tou and others. The only ones who came were him and Batulu Chen Liqiu. Naturally, the strength of Batulu and Chen Liqiu could not be compared with Da Tou and the other four people. The reason why she didn't know why
I was worried that Chen Liqiu would feel uncomfortable after hearing this.
"Is there any village near the three-way intersection?" he asked.
"Yes," Zhang Mo picked up a branch and drew it on the ground, "There is a village here, there is one here, and there is another one at this location."
"How far is it from the fork in the road?" he asked with a frown.
"These two are very close, only two or three miles apart. The northwest one is farther away, about five or six miles away," Zhang Mo said.
Zhang Mo frowned when he heard what he said. His plan was to poison the two thousand enemy troops guarding the three-way intersection to death or stun them. This was the only way to avoid alerting the thirty thousand soldiers seventy miles away.
To the enemy, he asked if there was a village nearby in order to poison the enemy quietly. If there was no village, the sudden smoke would make the enemy alert and suspicious. If there was a village, he could burn the poisonous grass near the village, even if the enemy discovered it.
Smoke is also thought to be cooking smoke in the evening.
The wind is blowing from the southeast right now, and the wind is blowing northwest. If the poisonous weeds are burned, the poisonous mist will poison the soldiers and also affect the villagers in the village. This is not a joke. No matter how powerful his Qihuang technique is,
It was impossible to determine the distance at which the poisonous mist spread. The most important thing was to poison all the enemy troops. The poisonous weeds used must be highly poisonous. If the villagers accidentally inhaled and were poisoned, they would definitely die.
Zhang Mo and Chen Liqiu were both smart people. After asking for a few details, they stopped asking questions. They guessed that he had thought of a feasible solution but was being hindered and troubled, so they turned to look at him and waited for him to speak.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "I originally wanted to poison the two thousand enemies at the three-way intersection with poisonous smoke, and then drive all night. When the food team approached the enemy's position, the first and third senior brothers went to sneak attack the enemy camp to distract their attention.
, while the two of us escorted the food team through the enemy’s positions and returned to our own camp.”
He paused briefly before continuing, "The biggest problem right now is that there is a village downwind. Once the poisonous smoke spreads, the people in the village will definitely die."
Hearing the words, the two frowned and remained silent. Naturally, they would not be stupid enough to ask whether they could control the toxicity of the poisonous smoke, because if they could control the intensity and spread of the poisonous smoke, they would not be so worried.
The three of them didn't speak for a long time afterwards. This was a big problem. They would be criticized if they harmed the innocent in a war. Moreover, the three of them were not cruel people. They always couldn't bear to harm the innocent.
