The wilderness is long and the spring clouds are brewing with cold.
No one can approach the ancient trees, and the cold smoke locks the Cangshan Mountain.
Cao Su's hundred-man army marched north on a starry night.
After ten miles from north to east, they bypassed the Wanping Army camp and headed straight to the south.
Because Cao Su ordered him not to make any noise before setting off, otherwise he would be punished by military law.
The whole army was silent, no one said anything.
Although some people have doubts in their hearts, they can only move forward.
According to the map, the troops marched overnight.
The march was stopped only after dawn.
At this time, we have entered the southern mountainous area.
"Cao Baifu and Wu Counselor, after passing the mountains, there is Baishui River."
The army specially arranged two special entourages to act with Cao Su.
One is a local mountaineer who is familiar with the terrain and routes.
There is also a counselor named Wu Ming, who is also the only force realm warrior in the current team.
Has the responsibility of supervising and supervising the army.
Wu Ming was on the same level as Cao Su.
But he has no real power, and the entire Centurion is currently following Cao Su's orders.
"Does this mountain have a name?"
Cao Su saw that the mountains were not high, but there were many trees, and the official road was winding and he could not see clearly.
"Cao Baifu, the mountain has no correct name, but we locals generally call this section "Xiaoyun Mountain". It stretches for more than ten miles from north to south. It is one of the few mountains in Jiangning Prefecture."
The mountain people said it truthfully.
Xiaoyun Mountain is not steep and the mountains are not unusual, so the Wanping Army boldly chose to take this grain road.
Because if you don't go this way, you have to detour through the wilderness.
Walking through the wasteland, not only did you take a lot of detours, but you also encountered Pingcheng's top forces like Baima Village.
After Wan Pingjun made some calculations, he thought it would be more cost-effective to go to Xiaoyun Mountain.
Cao Su led his team to Xiaoyun Mountain, and then found a path up the mountain.
The mountain is not high, and it takes less than half an hour to climb to the top.
Because the land in Xiaoyun Mountain is too barren, there are not many people living here.
Mountain people also make a living by hunting.
Cao Su stood on the rugged cliff and looked far into the distance.
There is still a thick layer of white frost on the towering ancient branches; in the deep mountains, mist rises like a gauze curtain, delicately and gracefully painting a landscape painting.
He has good eyesight and can faintly see the official road at the foot of the mountain.
"Soldiers, please rest here for a while."
Cao Su ordered everyone to rest here.
Each of them brought a total of three days' worth of dry food.
The ordinary sergeants would definitely not know what they were doing when they came out this time.
And Shi Chang was also confused.
It's just that Cao Su achieved too many military exploits before.
With great military exploits and superior fighting power, no one dared to raise objections.
Cao Su and Wu Ming stood on the rock wall to discuss the military situation.
"Cao Baifu, the city lord said that you are doing things safely, and it is true."
Wu Ming said with a smile.
Cao Su knew that what Wu Ming was referring to was that the location where they were "ambushing" was too high.
Judging from the purpose, at such a high place, even if the enemy is discovered, there will be no time to rush down the mountain.
"Counsellor Wu misunderstood. The reason why I chose this place was not out of safety considerations, but because only in this place can I avoid alerting others."
Cao Su was calm and unhurried.
Although the other party is in the power realm, the pressure on him does not seem to be very strong.
Compared with Wei Tao, Wang Meng and others, Wu Ming's power level only had a slight sense of oppression.
Cao Su felt that he might be able to fight with him.
Of course, it might also be his own illusion, but the other person is just better at hiding his aura.
From the perspective of military hierarchy, Cao Su and Wu Ming were on the same level.
However, Cao Su had actual military power and his status in the Centurion was higher than that of Wu Ming.
In response to Wu Ming's doubts, Cao Su was full of nonsense.
After Wu Ming listened, he nodded solemnly.
Believed.
What Cao Su said makes sense.
"I heard from the city lord before that among the sergeants of Wanping Army escorting food and grass, there may be powerful warriors."
"If there is a real powerful warrior, teach him to me."
"This mission starts with destroying the Wanping Army Supply Road."
Wu Ming was very serious and gave some of his opinions.
There may be a force situation.
Escorting food is a big deal, so it is reasonable to send a Lijing person to lead the team.
I just don't know how many ordinary sergeants they have.
Cao Su said: "How can we ensure that we appear in front of them as soon as possible and catch them off guard?"
"We can lie down in the woods on both sides of the official road, use bows and arrows first, shoot three waves, and then attack from the side. We will definitely kill them all."
Wu Ming thought to himself, what other tricks could there be for a sneak attack? Isn't it just to release arrows, release arrows, and then release arrows again?
Cao Su put forward some different views.
He pointed to some strange rocks on the mountain and said, "Can you find a higher place and put some rocks?"
"Let's dig holes on the official road first and make some traps."
"The rocks rolled down from the mountain, destroying their hearing. Under this cover, the sergeants on both sides fired arrows."
"We don't want to attack from the front. We wait for them to pass and then attack from the back."
"Or put some kerosene in advance and shoot the rocket directly?"
Cao Su came up with a lot of ideas.
Wu Ming's expression became more and more strange.
Cao Su suddenly sighed: "Your Majesty, this is too sudden. Otherwise, I would have made some preparations earlier, get some lime and some poisonous arrows, and discipline these people so that one of them will die, or both of them will die."
He is obviously not very old, but he has the typical look of killing an embryo.
Wu Ming couldn't help but said: "Cao Baifu, it's not like that."
"It's just a small pressure and food team, with only a hundred sergeants at most."
"When I hear your tone, are you going to burn down this mountain?"
Burn the mountain?
After hearing this, Cao Su felt moved in his heart.
He quickly asked: "What is the process for burning mountains? Can you tell me in detail?"
Wu Ming:..........
...........
...........
Pingcheng is dozens of miles away to the north.
The centurion led by Centurion Hu Ze successfully arrived at the supply point of the government army.
Hu Ze was also secretly dispatched.
The counselor who was traveling with him gave Hu Ze some suggestions.
But he was always rejected by Hu Ze.
"Hu Baifu, there is a shortage of food in Pingcheng now. Why don't we speed up our march and go to Wuyang Town as soon as possible to protect the food?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The counselor was in a hurry. After a night of rapid marching, Hu Ze ordered to rest at a supply point.
This supply point is a place that looks like a post station.
A village, a few old women, a few bungalows.
Hu Ze was not anxious at all. When he heard the counselor's suggestion, he said: "The soldiers have been running all night and are really exhausted. Forced marching at this time will make the soldiers even more exhausted and their combat effectiveness will be reduced."
After hearing this, the counselor felt that Hu Ze was making excuses.
Sweating profusely.
But he is just a Qi-blood warrior, a counselor who has not yet reached the realm of strength.
Compared with the so-called genius Hu Ze, his martial arts skills are probably slightly inferior.
His position was lower than that of Hu Ze, and he had no military power.
In this centurion, it is a symbol that has been emptied out.
There is no way.
Hu Ze comforted and said: "Listen to me, don't be anxious."
"We will set off again after half a day's rest."
"I have seen the map. This place is very close to Wuyang Town. We will definitely reach Wuyang Town by nightfall."
The counselor retorted: "Then why not leave now?"
"While the peasants are transporting grain, the men can also take a rest, which obviously saves more time."
When Hu Ze heard this, his face turned cold.
He snorted and said a little angrily: "Am I a centurion or are you a centurion?"
"Do you know how to march and fight?"
"If a sergeant loses his combat effectiveness, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others when he runs on the road? Now that everyone is exhausted, we are forced to march in a hurry. What should we do if we encounter enemy troops? What else should we use to transport food? Should we use our heads to transport it?"
"Pingcheng doesn't worry about it for a while, so what's the rush?"
The counselor's face was turned green and white after being scolded by Hu Ze.
After a long time, he sighed heavily.
He stopped talking.
Choose to leave.
