Along the way, they encountered a city that was inaccessible and it was difficult to get out, so they blew up the city gate.

Some of these so-called small counties don't even have city walls made of rammed earth, but rather wooden walls.

These are simply unable to withstand the vast army of heavenly soldiers.

Qin Mo led his men to destroy the dead, and more and more horses were available.

Among these two counties, only Takashima County's Daran and Shiga County's dining halls have elite garrison troops.

The dining room is a city on the water, so there is no way to avoid it.

After crossing Dara, Qin Mo replaced a stolen horse and 4,000 infantry, leaving behind to attack Dara at night.

The team was led by Dou Yiai and another experienced general.

"drive!"

Qin Mo spurred the war horse, and his thighs were so painful that he could tell without even looking at him that the skin was worn out.

Time passed slowly, and two thousand light cavalry arrived at the dining room first.

After capturing the dining hall, it is at most an hour's journey from Namba Kyo.

At this time, the bright moon is gradually setting, which should be the beginning of the Yin period.

That is around three o'clock in the morning.

"Will your people bring the letter to the mess hall?"

"No, no, I just asked them to come here to ask for reinforcements, but it's not entirely certain!" Takeda said fiercely: "It's possible that the message has been received here..."

waste!

Qin Mo looked at the city in the distance, "Shengli, send a vanguard camp of 500 people to explore the way!"

"Yes, Chief Steward."

Li Shengli licked his chapped lips, ordered five hundred people, and headed towards the dining room.

Qin Mo ordered to prepare and be ready to fight at any time.

The horses brought from Daqian were almost worn out.

If it hadn't been for a wave of robberies along the way, they wouldn't have been able to make it this far.

Although the horses are not as explosive as the war horses, they are more durable than the horses. These stolen horses are native horses from the steppe. Although they have poor combat power, they are more docile and durable.

But some of the horse's hooves are almost worn out.

The horses brought by Daqian had horseshoes made by Qin Mo, but those from the Japanese island country did not have horseshoes. In addition, the roads here were poor and it was difficult to distinguish them at night, so many horseshoes were injured!

The people below made a summary, and Qin Mo was in a dilemma.

"First, capture the shansuo, seize the horses from the shansuo city, and then continue to move forward."

"Two, capture the dining hall and wait for the army to gather."

Choosing the former, what big role can these half-scrap horses play?

And everyone was extremely exhausted.

Although you can eat dry food on horseback, mental fatigue is unavoidable.

You know, during the day, some of them had already participated in several battles.

If you choose the latter and wait for the army to join together, the risk will be great.

It is possible that it will be besieged by Omi and Kinai. The Japanese country has no less than 20,000 troops stationed in Kinai to defend Namba Kyo.

They had grenades, but it was too risky to fight with a tired army.

Both options would do more harm than good, so Qin Mo decisively chose to capture the dining room!

He took a bite of dry food and drank another sip of water. There was an explosion sound below, and the fire gradually rose.

The fire rose in an instant.

Qin Mo knew that this was a white phosphorus grenade.

Very smart, use a big killer weapon from the beginning to create suppression.

This also shows that the people in the dining room have probably received the news.

Otherwise, given the current situation in Japan, with war horses galloping at night and still on Higashiyama Road closest to Kinai Road, they could only think of two.

Rebellion and troop movements.

We can't go any further. The people of Japan are not fools. If they had five thousand energetic soldiers now, they would dare to take Namba Kyo directly.

However, after reaching this point in one day, Qin Mo was already very satisfied.

"The whole army attacked and captured Shansuo City."

After giving the order, the remaining 1,500 people rode their semi-crippled horses towards Shansuo City.

However, when Qin Mo came to Shansuo City, he suddenly became furious, and a moat about three feet wide came into view.

It was definitely too late to build a bridge. They traveled lightly this time and brought nothing except necessary weapons.

No one from the equipment battalion followed, so they could only rely on the power of grenades.

Qin Mo directly gave Ji'er a real knife and cut off his palm, "Damn it, why didn't you say that Shansuo City has such a crazy moat?"

Jill was really expecting to be in pain. She screamed in surprise, covered her severed hand, and knelt on the ground in fear, "Master, please forgive me, I was so nervous that I forgot for a moment!"

Qin Mo looked at him, "You think grandpa is stupid, don't you? Didn't he forget it, but he left it on purpose?"

Before leaving for the expedition at night, Qin Mo asked him again, but he did not explain this.

I would like to ask, would the Prince Consort of Washima Country, who was born and raised in Washima Land, know the layout of Zensho Castle?

It's obviously intentional.

"No, Chief Manager, the villain really doesn't have one!" Jill was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Deep in his eyes, there was deep hatred hidden in his eyes. He had indeed saved something.

That's because he didn't expect Qin Mo to march in a hurry.

He also believed that it was impossible for Qin Mo to reach here overnight.

Qin Mo led a forced march of two thousand light cavalry, plus those infantry, and it was a completely life-threatening attack.

They must have been exhausted by the time they arrived here after marching in a hurry at night.

The dining room is only thirty or fifty miles away from Namba Capital. Once the army is dispatched, Qin Mo will be in danger.

Although Daqian's army is well-armed.

However, as a person, you must always keep a hand. He can lick the big trunk, but it is impossible to completely tie up his life and property.

If Qin Mo defeated the Japanese island country, then he would offer advice, show his loyalty, and ask for merit.

"Sure enough, anyone who is not of my race must have a different heart!" Qin Mo wanted to kill the dog with a knife, but it still had some effect.

After making a gesture, Gao Yaoyao understood in seconds and beat him unconscious with the blade, then tied him up and threw him on the horse.

"General Manager, what should we do now?"

Li Shengli just used a white phosphorus grenade to illuminate.

After learning the truth about his use of white phosphorus grenades, Qin Mo's forehead popped out with veins and he kicked him directly, "What should we do? Return to guard against Dran!"

Above the city gate, flying arrows and stones were constantly being projected towards them.

They had mountain artillery, but their numbers were not enough to capture the dining room.

Relying on the moat, the dining room occupies a certain geographical advantage.

They can attack by force, but they are too tired.

Attacking by force will cause trouble.

Li Shengli didn't dare to say a word after being kicked, and he was even more unwilling to accept it, "We have all fought here, what a pity it would be if we went back to defend!"

"It's no pity. In this battle, we have completely opened up the situation, inserted the army at the heart of the Japanese island country, and divided the Japanese island country into two.

You can be greedy for merit, but you can’t rush forward!"

Qin Mo took a deep breath, "Do you think it's playing polo? You've scored one and you still want to score, so you just want to keep going deeper, so you're not afraid of getting stuck here?"

Li Shengli also came to his senses, "Yes, I understand."

"retreat!"

Qin Mo turned the horse's head and retreated as soon as he said so, and he would never miss the battle!

When they heard Qin Mo's decision, everyone felt relieved. They were really approaching their limit.

Takeda Takeo, who came with him, remained silent.

This young General Daqian has a calmness and wisdom that belies his age.

Don't be greedy for success and rush forward, and defend the victory.
Chapter completed!
