Another half hour passed, and the horses that kept walking out of the fortress finally saw the end. ↘↙

Facing the horse team that had transported a total of 6,000 dan of food in front of him, the company commander did not hesitate at all and immediately divided a platoon of cavalry scouts into two...

A class of soldiers continued to observe the fortress's every move...

The soldiers of the two squads followed closely behind the court's grain transport team under the command of the company commander. They prepared to follow the clues to find the new army in Ganning and catch the new army in Ganning...

Perhaps it is because it is very close to Sichuan, and the military strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army in Gansu and Ningbo has not yet expanded here.

The thousand imperial officials who protected these mules, horses and food along the way did not have any warning, and directly led the scouts of the Tiger and Leopard Army to break into the Ganning New Army garrison dozens of miles away...

So, the Ganning New Army, who had been a turtle with his head for more than a month, finally fully showed his figure to the Tiger and Leopard Army.

At the 10th Division of the Tiger and Leopard Army, after listening to the reports of several reconnaissance company commanders, the expression on the division commander's face was directly replaced by Chi Ren.

Then, he said with excitement: "Sure enough, here, this time, I see where you can hide..."

"Chief of Staff, send someone to report to the commander immediately. We have found the new army stationed in Ganning... All the commanders' speculations about the new army in Ganning are correct. As long as the main force of the commander returns to Ningxia, we can destroy them!"

With the help of war horses, ten thousand Tiger and Leopard Army soldiers gathered together the remaining two musket regiments of the 10th Division in just five days...

After understanding the entire battlefield situation, a bold idea of ​​darts appeared directly in Sun Chengzong's mind...

Under the gaze of several division commanders, Sun Chengzong spoke without reservation and analyzed: "According to the investigation, the total strength of the Ganning New Army hidden in this dense forest is more than 40,000. Among them are six or seven thousand musketeers, three or four thousand cavalrymen, and about 30,000 sword and shield hands. They can be said to have strong troops and well-equipped..." And our Fifth Army, after continuous battle losses, had a total strength of less than 15,000...including a cavalry division, three musketeers, and one heavy artillery regiment... Just in terms of force, we do not have any advantage..."

I saw all kinds of expressions of agreeing, opposing, and dissatisfied... on everyone's faces.

Sun Chengzong changed his words and continued: "Of course. Some people may say that our equipment is better than them, the firearms are more advanced, and they also have a large number of artillery... But what I want to tell you is... the equipment of the Ganning New Arms is not bad... "" According to the reconnaissance, all the firearms troops in the Ganning New Army are equipped with the fire guns we are equiping... As for these muskets, about 4,000... "In addition to muskets, grenades, mortars, and Ganning New Army are equipped with a lot of equipment... ""On the surface, we still have a great advantage in equipment, especially heavy artillery. However, what I want to say is that the battle we are about to face is to fight in the mountains and forests, and many of them have the advantage of equipment. No one can play it out, especially the heavy heavy artillery. If it cannot be transported into the mountains, maybe there is no chance to participate in the war."

Sun Chengzong's words were like a basin of cold and biting cold water, which directly extinguished the rising heat and heat in his subordinates' hearts.

Even the atmosphere in the room where everyone is in becomes silent as the basin of cold water is poured down.

At this time, the commander of the 10th Division, who had just lost a musket regiment and was eager to retaliate, spoke.

He asked Sun Chengzong with a reluctance and said, "Captain, can we stop fighting..."

"Of course I have to fight..." Sun Chengzong answered without thinking...

"He Ganning New Army killed so many of our brothers. If we don't fight after finding him, how can we be worthy of those brothers who died in the battlefield... So, in this battle, we not only have to fight, but also eliminate them all..."

Sun Chengzong's answer made everyone's sad eyes become hot again.

All the eyes were focused on Sun Chengzong, waiting for Sun Chengzong to follow...

Without asking everyone to wait too long, Sun Chengzong answered: "Everyone, compared with the Ganning New Army, our equipment advantages cannot play a big role in the battlefield. However, we have one thing that the Ganning New Army does not have, that is, sufficient food and salary supply..."

"Look at it, if we cut off the supply of food and salary for the Ganning New Army... With the strength and food and salary reserves of the Ganning New Army, how long can they stay in this dense forest..."

"After the limited food and salary are exhausted, when they cannot get supplements, they will come out of the mountain regardless of whether they want to. Otherwise, they will starve to death in this forest..."

"As long as they come out of the mountain and leave this dense forest, our firearm advantages will be fully utilized..."

"The many battles of our Tiger and Leopard Army since its establishment have shown with facts... On the field battlefield, in the face of the powerful firepower of our Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter how much military strength is, it will be crushed by us with firepower..."

The eyes of several subordinates lit up and subconsciously asked, "Captain, please give orders. We will fight as much as you ask us... We will definitely eliminate these Ganning New Army and make them pay the price..."

In a dense forest five miles away from Qingchuan County, Sichuan, two thousand tiger and leopard musketeers, like hunters, lurking quietly on both sides of the official road, waiting for the arrival of the official army's grain transport team.

At this moment, it had been a day since they lurking here. Within a day, they hovered on the official road in front of everyone. Not to mention the horse team, they didn't even see a single figure.

As time passed little by little, the two thousand tiger and leopard army musketeers who were ambushing here slowly began to get restless.

Two miles away from the battlefield, the closed city gate was finally opened...

Afterwards, more than a hundred imperial officials rushed out of the city gate. Then, holding weapons, looking around with a vigilant look on his face...

After confirming that there was no danger around the city gate, a mule and horse carrying three loads of food walked out of the city gate... Then, a steady stream of mule and horse began to walk onto the official road and walk away to the location of the two thousand tigers and leopards...

"Here, order the brothers to prepare for battle... All muskets can only be fought against the imperial army, and don't hurt those mules and horses... There is so much food, without mules and horses, you can't transport them back..." The commander who put down the monocular telescope, with a hot face, decisive command...

After that, he couldn't help but itchy hands, and actually picked up a musket and aimed at the official road, ready to shoot...
