The disappearance of the captain and twenty soldiers did not cause much disturbance.
There were more than 80,000 soldiers, and the sudden loss of twenty soldiers was almost negligible.
The reason was that the soldiers kept silent and did not publicize the matter. In addition, the general who led the army did not take this matter to heart, which made Lu Meng lead his soldiers to kill the captain and twenty soldiers but did not
Once traced, it disappeared into thin air and became a thing of the past.
On the second day, Ma Teng led the army to continue setting off and rushed to Xinping County.
They travel very quickly and have little time to rest.
This way of traveling made Lu Meng feel a lot of pressure.
He left overnight with a hundred soldiers from the Langya Battalion. After running far away, he dumped the bodies of the captain and twenty soldiers in the barren mountains, and then quickly pursued the army with the soldiers from the Langya Battalion.
Compared to Ma Teng's more than 80,000 and close to 90,000 soldiers, the physical fitness of the soldiers of Langya Camp is far superior to these soldiers. Regardless of the martial arts and strength of the soldiers, they have an absolute advantage. Therefore, the speed of Langya Camp is
They must have far surpassed Ma Teng's soldiers. They ran towards Huaili County and caught up with the army in one day.
Lu Meng led his men back to the army and immediately issued an order for the soldiers to speed up.
The ten-day journey was reduced to five days.
In this way, Lu Meng had enough time to complete the task.
When the army was resting, Fazheng walked up to Lu Meng and said: "Little general, the soldiers may not be able to support such a high-intensity journey. By then, even if they arrive at Huaili County, the soldiers will be mentally exhausted and physically exhausted.
If it is not enough, how can we attack Huaili County? I suggest you wait a little slower and don’t hurry. As long as we can reach Huaili County within seven days, we will still have a great advantage."
The army was on its way in such a hurry, and Fazheng felt it was too much.
Therefore, Fa Zhengcai made suggestions.
When Lu Meng heard this, he shook his head and said, "Military advisor, this has to be the case!"
Zhang Hu sat next to Lu Meng and continued: "Military advisor, when we were following Ma Teng's army, Ma Teng's soldiers started to travel from early in the morning and did not stop to rest until late at night. With such a fast speed, if we were traveling slowly,
, we waited until Ma Teng captured Xinping County before we arrived at Huaili County!"
After hearing this, Fazheng frowned.
Faced with such a situation, what can he say?
Fazheng thought for a while and said: "In this case, we can only hurry on our way first, wait until we approach Huaili County, and then let the soldiers rest for a while to maintain their combat effectiveness."
Lu Meng said: "That's all we can do now. Okay, let's rest first and continue on our way later."
The army rested for a quarter of an hour and then continued on their journey.
The speed of Lu Meng's army was no less than that of Ma Teng's army, and even faster than Ma Teng's soldiers. It originally took them ten days to rush to Huaili County, but they planned to finish in seven days. However,
Under Lu Meng's order, the soldiers rushed on their way one by one, and in the end it took less than five days to approach Huaili County.
Such speed is incredible.
However, the soldiers were also exhausted and very embarrassed.
When Lu Meng ordered a rest, the soldiers returned to their tents one by one and fell asleep. The soldiers rested for a whole day before they regained their energy and recovered.
When the army approached Huaili County, Lu Meng led his soldiers to the foot of Huaili County.
He took twenty soldiers, each wearing the clothes of a Ma Teng soldier, and tried to trick him into opening the city gate and sneaking into the city.
However, although Fazheng's strategy is good, it has one biggest flaw.
Although Lu Meng and the soldiers under his command are strong, their appearance is very different from that of the Xiliang people. This is just like comparing the heroic and heroic women in the north with the gentle and graceful water-spirited women in the south of the Yangtze River.
As long as you observe carefully, you can spot the difference immediately.
Of course, appearance and figure are just a difference and are not enough evidence.
After all, there were too many soldiers. Ma Tie, who was stationed in Huaili County, could not judge that Lu Meng was not a soldier of Ma Teng just because he did not look like a Xiliang native. However, the most unexpected thing was that Ma Tie somehow pretended to be a local Xiliang person.
As soon as the words came out, Ma Tie made a strange question, which immediately stumped Lu Meng and other soldiers.
They were all Han Chinese and spoke official Chinese. They couldn't understand what Ma Tie was chirping in bird language.
In this way, Lu Meng's plan to sneak into Huaili County was immediately foiled.
Lu Meng spent a whole day going to Ma Teng's military camp to get military uniforms. In the end, he was completely denied because of one sentence. You can imagine the depression in his heart. If he had known this, he should have captured two Xiliang soldiers and returned.
It was easy to get through and sneak into the city. But now that he is blocked from the city, he cannot easily earn money from Huaili County.
Such an unexpected situation was something Lu Meng did not expect.
However, since it was impossible to sneak into the city, Lu Meng stationed his army outside Huaili County.
You can't do it secretly, so you can only attack openly.
In the camp, there is a large tent of the Chinese army.
Lu Meng was sitting on the main seat, and below him were Fazheng, Dianman and other civil and military officials.
Lu Meng looked at Fazheng and said: "Military strategist, we were rejected as soon as we arrived. Your methods have not worked. What else can strategist do to attack Huaili County?"
After a pause, Lu Meng said in a deep voice: "The news we sent to the Lord has been passed on. I believe that the Lord will send his troops back immediately after getting the news. We don't have to worry about the Lord's affairs, but we only have two days, and we must do it within two days."
Only by solving Huaili County within a day can we launch an attack first and encircle and suppress Ma Teng's army in Xinping County."
Dianman and Huang Xu looked very solemn after hearing this.
Two days was a bit short.
The city of Huaili County is strong and not easy to attack. It would be very difficult to capture the city in two days.
Fazheng said: "Young general, please let me think about it carefully!"
At this time, Fazheng also felt a headache. It was not that he did not have a plan to capture Huaili County in his mind, but both Lu Meng and Ma Teng were seizing the time. Whoever takes the first step would have the advantage. Therefore, there must be something within two days.
Only by using cunning strategies can we quickly capture Huaili County and gain the upper hand.
However, it is impossible to use it for a long time.
Fazheng was deep in thought, but Zhang Hu showed a relaxed expression and said: "Young general, we have powerful gunpowder, why don't we use gunpowder?"
Lu Meng raised his brows, with a happy look on his face.
After more than two years, although nothing new has been invented, the power of gunpowder has improved a lot.
When Lu Meng heard Zhang Hu's suggestion, he slapped his head and said: "Yes, I really got into trouble and forgot our most powerful weapon. Well, let's blow open the city gate of Huaili County and fight in."
Fazheng knew about gunpowder, but he had a puzzled expression on his face and asked, "Young general, can you blow open the city gate?"
Zhang Hu said: "Military advisor, don't worry, it will definitely work."
In fact, when Fazheng proposed the strategy of sneaking into Huaili County, Zhang Hu thought of using gunpowder. However, he thought that Fazheng was a military advisor and it was not easy to argue with Fazheng, so he kept silent. Now Fazheng also
There was no way to use the gunpowder specially carried by the Wolf Fang Battalion. This was a weapon for siege, but it was not used. It was a pity.
Zhang Hu is very courageous, even more daring to think and do than Lu Meng.
When Lu Meng and his party were outside Ma Teng's army, Zhang Hu wanted to sneak into the camp and kill Ma Teng.
However, Lu Meng shook his head in denial.
It can be seen that Zhang Hu is very courageous and is not bound by rules and regulations.
Lu Meng had an idea in mind, and a smile appeared on his face. He said with a smile: "With gunpowder, we don't have to attack the city by force. We can directly enter through the city gate. However, the defense is strongest during the day, and our people can easily
Once discovered, it is not easy to plant gunpowder. After dark, let the soldiers from Langya Camp go to the bottom of the city tower, use gunpowder to blow open the city gate, and then fight in."
Dianman and Huang Xu nodded, with excited expressions on their faces.
This method is the way the Wolf Fang Battalion fights!
Fazheng knew the use of gunpowder and began to think about it in his mind. Now that we have gunpowder, many things that cannot be done can be easily done. This will undoubtedly provide more implementation strategies for the army.
At this time, everyone is waiting for it to get dark.
As soon as night falls, it is the time to capture Huaili County.
