Although the military pay was not high, Li Yanxiu did not wrong the soldiers at all in terms of food.
He carried out all the food and grass stored by Master Guo and Eunuch Tong, and had two meals of wild vegetable porridge every day. Although it was porridge, it was not the thin water porridge before, but very thick, and the soldiers could also eat enough.
After all, it doesn’t matter if you don’t pay the money, but you still keep people hungry. Why should they work so hard?
Li Yanxiu also knew that eating like this would not last until the war started, but there was no other way. If they wanted to fight this war, they would have to get a result, because they were fighting with no second chance, and they would lose at all.
Sorry.
Fortunately, Gu Mo takes people into the mountains every day, not only to catch some prey to improve their food, but also to train the soldiers' physical fitness and control of the sleeve crossbow.
Now the number of the Iron Eagle Army in the vanguard has expanded a lot, and each of them has a sleeve crossbow, and they are all sophisticated versions. If they still lose to the real army under this situation, then Yuguo has really run out of energy.
Deserve to perish.
The Zhenjun knew that the two thousand people in Shiji City who were wiped out were killed by the Iron Eagle Army's crossbows, so they have been trying their best to find out how the crossbows are made, and even got a sophisticated version of the crossbow.
But it was a pity that they couldn't figure out the production method at all, because Gu Mo had set up a sophisticated anti-theft device. They could make the shape but couldn't make the core parts inside. Even if they got the original one and disassembled it, they couldn't assemble it. In the end, they could only
Can give up.
Isn't it just a sleeve crossbow? The Yuguo army they encountered before also had a divine arm bow, and they were beaten to pieces by them anyway?
Their true soldiers are extremely brave and are not afraid of any iron walls, ships or artillery!
The war is about to break out, and both sides are waiting for the final showdown.
For Gu Mo, as long as the real army did not send troops, the Huairen Mansion would not move, so she still led the Iron Eagle Army into the mountains for field training every day.
All the time, the wars between Yuguo and Zhenjun were fought on flat plains, and there were very few street battles or mountain battles.
Although Zhenguo is a fishing and hunting people, they are very good at hunting in the mountains, but if a large army is really required to fight a mountain war, they may not be able to do it.
So Gu Mo planned to make a breakthrough in this aspect and now began to train the soldiers' combat capabilities in alleys and mountains.
When the war begins, we will find ways to divide the real army. Some of them will be led into the city, and the complex alleys in the city will be used to strangle them. Some will be led to the mountains, and the terrain of the mountains will be used to further divide them and defeat them one by one.
In short, Yuguo cannot afford any more deaths, and they must achieve the greatest victory at the smallest cost.
On this day, Gu Mo took people to the mountains again. This time they made a great harvest. They found a wild boar nest along the way and ate more than a dozen wild boars inside. They also killed many small animals such as hares and pheasants.
, cooked into meat porridge, and the soldiers could eat it for a long time.
Everyone was very happy and smiling along the way.
At this moment, the soldier responsible for exploring the path ran over and said, "Boss, there are real troops at the foot of the mountain. There should be two hundred people by visual inspection. Moreover, they have discovered us and are approaching here."
When everyone heard this, they were not afraid at all but were very excited, because during this period, Li Yanxiu frequently brought up the military records outside Shiji City to brainwash the soldiers, telling them that the real army had nothing to fear, in order to boost their morale.
"Boss, let's fight them head on!"
I have been training for a while now, so it’s about time I got a chance to practice!
Gu Mo asked everyone to quiet down, "There are only thirty of us, so we don't have an advantage in numbers. If they swarm us, they can drag us to death based on their numbers."
No matter how lethal the sleeve crossbow is, it is not omnipotent.
Gu Mo looked around and saw that the dry trees began to grow green branches, making the once bare woods gradually become denser.
Gu Mo quickly made arrangements for everyone to hide in the woods, and then shook the tree trunks crazily.
The two hundred real troops also came to the mountains to look for food. After all, everything nearby that they could rob had been robbed, and all the common people who could run away had also fled. The original plan to lay down Shiji City as a logistics supply also failed. Their plan
If the food and grass could not support him, he would naturally have no choice but to run up the mountain.
Unexpectedly, they discovered the presence of Yu Jun when they came out. They were planning to sneak up on him, surround him and kill him.
But when I saw the shadow of the tree shaking violently, I immediately stopped.
A lieutenant general advised the leading lieutenant, "Commander, look at how violently the woods are shaking inside. There must be many soldiers and horses hiding there. This may be a ploy by the real army to lure the enemy. Even if we go in and catch the enemy by surprise, it won't be possible."
If we win the battle, why don’t we withdraw?”
The lieutenant squinted his slender eyes and said: "The woods are not very large. Even if there is an ambush, there will only be a few hundred people at most. We now have more than 200 people. What are we afraid of? Just attack them.
Got it!"
"But the new general of Huairen Mansion has been changed. He is not as cowardly and incompetent as Eunuch Tong and Master Guo, who only seek peace. Before, we were all two thousand elites who were wiped out by them in Shiji City. Let's observe first.
Don’t rush in.”
The most important thing is that the new general of Huairen Mansion is not only capable of fighting, but also very cunning.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious.
Therefore, the real army began to retreat, but did not leave immediately. They decided to observe and observe first, and if there were few people in Yuguo, they would attack.
The Yu army waited in the woods for a long time, but did not see the real army attacking. They hurried to investigate, but found that the real army had withdrawn.
The Iron Eagle Army was still a little regretful, "Boss, they are gone, shall we go down the mountain?"
Gu Mo stood still, "The real army suspected that there was an ambush of ours in the woods and was afraid of falling into a trap, so they did not attack. When we went out, we exposed the fact that there were few people. They will definitely take the opportunity to swarm us, so we should stay inside and don't move."
I squatted for several hours, and the whole forest was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Gu Mo then sent half of his men out to lure the real army.
Zhenjun has realized the shortcomings of his well-developed limbs and simple mind, and is currently learning the way of thinking of the Central Plains people, with the aim of making his brain as convoluted as the Central Plains people.
But the imitation was really winding and winding, but the inside was still relatively simple, so they guessed that Yu Guo might be deceiving, but they never saw Yu Jun's next deception with their own eyes.
So I felt that the Yu army was definitely not cheating, so I quickly relaxed my vigilance and decided to surround the whole army, quickly wipe out this Yu army, and return home.
