Early in the morning, the bandits in Yin City began to mobilize on a large scale.
The spies didn't need to do any special spying to know that the bandit soldiers were preparing to go south to Yinshan Pass.
It was raining, and the bandits didn't want to attack in the rain.
But the people above forced them to go south, so it would be strange if they didn't complain.
Although Luo Xin repeatedly ordered to keep the secret secret, these thieves couldn't wait to complain to anyone they met.
How can any secret be kept?
The news was sent to Yu Ming. Yu Ming frowned and thought for a while before several generals said:
"The thieves suddenly went south in the rain. They may be in need of food and cannot wait any longer."
Yu Ming also didn't expect that Luo Xin thought of a way to "restrain" the artillery, so he attacked in the rain.
"Now that they are here, we can save some energy and don't have to walk forward in the mud in the rain. We can win by waiting for the hard work."
There was nothing to plan for this battle, so the army moved directly to Yinshan Pass. Although the pass was in dilapidated condition, the terrain was still intact.
If the camp is set up here, the large group of bandits will definitely not be able to quietly move south.
Although Yu Ming returned to Junmacheng, Yinshan Pass was not lost. On the contrary, it was still being manipulated.
After this period of renovation, let alone defense, it can at least be habitable.
In the ruins before, there wasn't even a place to stay.
June 13th, sunny.
Luo Xin's army is only ten miles away from Yinshan Pass.
As soon as Yu Ming received the news, he immediately ordered the artillery battalion to prepare to meet the enemy.
Today the weather finally cleared up, which was rare. Yu Ming concluded that the bandits would definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Both the East and West routes have made great achievements with artillery, and Yu Ming is already looking forward to coming as soon as possible.
At noon, Yu Ming was dressed neatly and set up a military formation in front of Yinshan Pass.
"Let's just wait at Guanxia. If it clears up today, they will definitely come to attack."
Yu Ming's expression was a little excited.
"If we can kill the thief Luo Xin, then it will be our first success! Hehe!"
Yu Ming has already imagined that he has made great achievements and is praised and rewarded by Song Yang.
"General, it's already noon, why haven't the traitors come yet?" Cui Shan asked impatiently.
Cui Shan and Cui Qiang brothers, one followed Song Tong on the east road, and the other followed Yu Ming on the middle road.
We started to set up the formation in the morning, and the formation was ready at the first moment, but after waiting for an hour, we didn't see the enemy.
"These guys want us to be exposed to the scorching sun and wear down our energy. Huh! It's a good idea, but they met our Renaissance Army! We have an hour to stand in military posture in the dog days of summer, let alone this day.
It’s hot!”
Yu Ming was a little disdainful of these little tricks.
"Then let's just wait and see? How about we attack?" Cui Qiang suggested.
"Attack...forget it, the road ahead is very muddy. The Tiger Crouching Cannon can be carried over, but it will take some effort to pull the cannon and repeating cannon over. If they take advantage of the chaos to attack, we will be in a hurry. Guard.
Well, it’s already this time anyway, if you just have to wait a little longer, they will come anyway!”
Yu Ming shook his head and rejected the suggestion of attack.
Cui Qiang thought about it and thought it made sense, so he called on the soldiers to wait patiently.
The afternoon sun became stronger and stronger, and the soldiers stood in the formation staring at the heat. Although there were no restrictions on their posture and they could even sit down, it was uncomfortable to be exposed to the sun.
Yu Ming was also speechless. He looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to set the time, but the thieves still didn't move.
The detectives were sent out like a chariot, and the only result they got was that Luo Xin set up camp!
At first, Yu Ming thought Luo Xin was acting as a suspect and wanted to make him relax.
But the newly arrived Tan Ma said that the thieves were already burying pots to make rice, and those who moved quickly had all the rice thrown into the pot...
"Oh my God! What are these thieves doing!" Yu Ming yelled angrily.
I set up a formation and waited for you, but you ended up eating and drinking.
What about kidding?
Yu Ming cursed for a while before taking off his helmet: "Take the troops back to the camp! Grandma! It's so fucking sad!"
The Renaissance Army's trip was in vain. Everyone complained, saying that when the traitors really came, they might as well just shoot these guys without taking prisoners...
Returning to the Chinese army's tent, Yu Ming was getting angry thinking about it.
"How about we fight?" This time it was Yu Ming who suggested the attack.
"Yu Tou. The road ahead is really difficult, and you can't walk very fast with the Crouching Tiger Cannon. Now is really not a good time to attack."
Cui Qiang became the one to dissuade him.
In the afternoon, he was impatient and went to investigate in person.
I also saw with my own eyes how dilapidated this road is.
The foot trap is quite light.
Horses have to walk through mud when crossing here.
"Hmph! It's really annoying!" Yu Ming snorted heavily.
"It doesn't have to be like this at first. The quartermaster just looked at the sky and said that it will be sunny for the next three to five days. With the sun as bright as today, we can travel that way in less than two days. If they don't come then, we will
Go over!" Cui Qiang comforted.
The Quartermaster is not only responsible for supplies, but is also responsible for observing the sky.
In this era, if you look at the sky with the naked eye, you can probably see it with no problem, no matter how accurate it is.
It's all based on experience.
After listening to Cui Qiang's words, Yu Ming felt a lot more relieved.
For the next two days, Yu Ming would curse at the soldiers every day.
"Are they idle? They came here in the rain a few days ago, but now it's sunny and they don't come to attack!"
"Did you come out specifically to get soaked in the rain? Do you want a free shower?"
"Sick! Sick in the brain!"
Another day of waiting, Yu Ming wandered around the Chinese army tent cursing.
"Yu Tou, don't be upset. I just checked the road and I can leave tomorrow!"
Cui Qiang opened the curtain and entered the tent, and said slightly excitedly.
"Can we leave tomorrow? Haha! Good, good! Tomorrow our army will go north to give them a good look!" Yu Ming said excitedly, patting his thigh.
Finally a battle was fought.
Early the next morning, Yu Ming couldn't wait to reorganize his army and horses. Before midnight, the army marched north under the morning glow.
Just after leaving Yinshan Pass, Tan Ma discovered Luo Xinjun's spies.
There is no way to hide this kind of thing, and there are many thieves, soldiers, and spies.
There have been no large-scale battles in the past few days, and the Tanma from both sides have fought several times.
I have to say that the traitor's spying skills are quite good.
In the past few days, four or five Renaissance soldiers have been injured.
Although no one died, it can be seen that they are good at fighting alone.
Yu Ming didn't ask anyone to take care of the spies. Anyway, he could only drive them away. They were riding horses, so it was difficult to catch them.
The army pushed forward steadily.
They arrived at Shilidi in less than an hour. When they saw the bandit camp in the distance, Yu Ming was a little confused.
Why does the camp... look like... empty?
The closer I got, the clearer I could see. It seemed like it was really an empty camp.
Yu Ming looked at Cui Qiang hurriedly, and the boy also looked confused.
The two looked at each other.
"Are you sure this is a bandit camp?" Yu Ming questioned.
"I'm sure! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday, and this is it!" Cui Qiang said, rubbing his head.
