Chapter 1021 keep up

The Jiangning Army was going to take the initiative to attack Mengjin to fight the bandits. The news immediately shocked Luoyang City. Even King Fu sent his son Zhu Yousong to ask, but the results were still the same. Yang Feng insisted on leading the army to attack.

Faced with Yang Feng who was determined to be so persistent, Zhu Changxun had no choice.

Although he was the King of Blessings, he could only act as a mighty man on this acre of three-point land in Luoyang. If Yang Feng really didn't want to be birdy, he wouldn't be birdy anymore. What else could he do? He could only watch the tens of thousands of Jiangning army set off camp early the next morning to set off towards Mengjin.

Weather on December 28, 10th

"Head... Today we have seen several groups of bandits of whistle-snooping. It seems that the bandits may appear at any time. Are we still moving towards Mengjin now?"

The person who spoke was a young man in his twenties, with a straight facial features and fair skin. He didn't look like a soldier at all, but rather like a white-faced scholar.

But in fact, this young man was a Ye Bushang in the Jiangning Army, whose name was Hu Buyang. However, because his appearance was too deceptive, the robes gave him a nickname called Scholar.

The 28 or 29-year-old man with a dark and calm skin in the middle is a team officer (President) who is called Guo Shanqing, nicknamed Lao Daozi.

There were still six or seven people around them, and they were surrounded by the old knife at this moment.

At this moment, they are all wearing shabby sheepskin coats and white felt hats on their heads. These dresses are no different from those of the locals.

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that under the worn sheepskin coat, there is a long strip of objects hanging on the saddle that are not to be wrapped.

Each of these people rides three horses, and they are tall and strong and warlike horses. They should carry various food and supplies on Mafeng Mountain, which is enough to ensure that these people can move in the wild for a month without replenishment.

Today, the Jiangning Army can be roughly divided into two parts, one is stationed in Fujian and Luzon, and the other is the Jiangning Guard who is left in Jinling.

Needless to say, those stationed in Luzon and Fujian were the iron-blooded army that followed Yang Feng from the sea of ​​corpses and blood. The army stationed in Jiangning Guards was later recruited. Although they had undergone long-term training, they had not experienced actual combat after all, so they naturally could not compare with those in Fujian and Nanyang in terms of combat experience and combat effectiveness.

Everyone has the desire to compete. Seeing that they followed Yang Feng to fight for Liaodong, the robes of Nanyang were promoted one by one, and those who stayed in Jinling naturally wanted to make achievements.

Lao Daozi and others left the large army five days ago and searched along the official road to the Mengjin area. Their mission was to investigate the movements of the bandits along the way and send the news back to the headquarters in time.

From Henan Prefecture to Mengjin, there are mostly mountains and rivers, and there are many rivers in the middle. For example, Lao Daozi and others are active. This generation is full of mountains and rivers, and there are old forests everywhere. The strangest thing is that although they rely on the telescope they sent down, they discovered spies of bandits several steps, but these spies did not move forward quickly towards Luoyang. Instead, they kept wandering around this generation, which immediately aroused Lao Daozi's suspicion.

Lao Daozi pondered for a moment before waved to everyone. After everyone surrounded him, he whispered: "Based on the situation we have seen in the past few days, the bandits' actions are extremely strange. They are not in a hurry to advance towards Luoyang. Instead, they are wandering around here and observing. There must be some conspiracy here."

"The head is right." The scholar agreed: "The terrain of this area is complex, and even if tens of thousands of people hide in this area, it is difficult to find. Moreover, this place is a must-pass way to Mengjin. Brothers, tell me, what tricks will the thieves have?"

"Set an ambush!"

Seven or eight Yebushang looked at each other and shouted in unison.

"Odd, the bandits are likely to set up an ambush here."

Lao Daozi glanced at the scholar with praise. This kid is flexible and has a good skill. He is a good person who can't collect it at night.

"Hiss... this bandit is so smart that he actually sets an ambush?" A strong Ye Bushang asked in surprise.

"How fresh, do you think the thieves are all fools who can only hit our guns?" Lao Daozi cursed with curiosity and amusement.

The scholar interrupted and said, "Boss, the most important thing for us now is to understand the true intentions of the thief and report to the Duke."

Lao Daozi said: "Yes, the scholar is right. We can't just make a few survivors to ask, it would be even better if we could catch their whistle."

Several Ye Bushang agreed very much about this. As peers, they knew very well that as the eyes and ears of the army, the whistleblower knew no less than ordinary officers, and even more.

"Get on, go..."

The old knife jumped onto the horse's back, grabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse ran up to the hillside in front.

Soon, everyone reached the hillside, tied the war horses behind a sheltered back slope, and several people went up to the top of the hillside.

Looking down from the hillside, another official road passes through the canyons on both sides, which is the only way to Mengjin from Luoyang. If the bandits pass by, they must pass here.

Time passed by little by little, and it was soon evening. This year is not modern. At night, no one dared to travel overnight. Not to mention anything else, if you encounter a wild beast, it would be enough for people to drink a pot.

The temperature in the wild nights is much lower than during the day, not to mention in the current season, although he is wearing cotton coats and trousers sent by Jiang Ningjun and a sheepskin coat outside, the scholar still feels cold and his hands are a little numb.

He moved his body hard, took off his gloves and rubbed his hands hard. After a while, he felt his hands relax a little.

After feeling a little more comfortable, he looked at the old knife beside him and found that he was still in the posture he had just now, and his hands were still holding the telescope and slowly moving left and right.

Suddenly, Lao Daozi said, "Here you come!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this and looked in the direction where Lao Daozi was looking, but his eyesight was really limited and he couldn't see clearly. After all, the telescope was a very precious thing, and the entire team only had a pair of Lao Daozi, who was the team officer.

After a while, a sound of horse hooves was heard. About a dozen horses ran out of a hill on the right and rushed towards Mengjin.

"Head, those people are all whistle-snooping the bandits." Ye Bushang shouted in a low voice, with an unconcealed joy in his voice.

"Go...follow!"
