"Sir, if we go around the valley, the journey will be longer."
"We have already conducted reconnaissance in the valley, and there is no ambush."
When the soldier heard that Li Mu decided to take a detour, he quickly spoke.
Li Mu did not speak, but looked at the man coldly.
Although Li Mu is now the county magistrate.
But as a county magistrate, I can be regarded as halfway to the top.
Although these people under his command have all joined the governor, they still feel that their current prestige is not as good as that of Xie Yunsong before.
After the soldier finished speaking, when he saw that Li Mu didn't respond for a long time, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Questioning the general in public is a taboo in the military.
Just now, I subconsciously did not regard Li Mu as the army commander this time, but thought it was his previous identity.
My mind didn't turn around.
I couldn't help but feel chills on my back.
"yes!"
"grown ups!"
"My subordinates will inform you immediately!"
The soldier quickly said to Li Mu.
He ran out in a hurry.
Li Mu didn't say anything, turned to look inside the valley, and walked to the side.
For Li Mu.
He did not believe what these people said, and there was no ambush in the investigation.
Just like before.
There was no sign at all, but suddenly an ambush appeared.
Nowadays, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. It is very simple to hide someone.
Li Mu didn't dare to take risks.
The terrain in this valley is narrow, and once the three thousand men and horses enter, they will be squeezed into a line.
Once there is an ambush, there will be no way to fight back.
For the sake of caution, Li Mu would not quarrel with them, and would rather take a detour to preserve his strength.
Let the soldiers in front and on both sides guard with shields, and surround the cavalry and infantry in the middle.
In this way, even if they attack with bows and arrows, they can still allow the archers to counterattack.
Judging from the number of people who were ambushed just now.
Li Mu felt relieved.
It seems that the number of people in Sanhe County is still insufficient.
Otherwise, if there were a large number of them in the group just now, and they were caught off guard, they would really be able to cause considerable losses.
"Everyone, speed up!"
"Get to Sanhe County as soon as possible!"
Li Muche immediately stepped forward and urged everyone.
In Li Mu’s view.
The reason why they ambush here is probably to delay time.
But Li Mu knew.
Now the governor of this county and the surrounding counties should all be members of the governor.
Where can I find help?
Let them ask themselves, maybe they will give up by then.
Li Mu's character is more cautious than courageous.
If it is used for defense, it may be suitable, but when it comes to offense, it will be slower.
In a war, the opportunity is fleeting.
For Li Mu, it is often difficult to catch.
At this time, there was indeed an ambush in the valley.
The dozens of people sent by Wu Dayong were all concentrated inside.
I just want to use people to bring them in.
I originally thought that it would be fastest to go through the valley. If I took a detour, I could go around ten miles longer.
The result was unexpected.
Li Mu actually took the people to take a detour.
"What's going on?"
"Isn't this too cowardly?"
"We have prepared so many stones for nothing."
"Who says it's not the case? I dug a hole for a long time and just waited for an ambush. This guy is good and won't come."
"What a damn bad luck, I still want to make a great contribution!"
"Stop talking, sir, let's go back to the military camp to gather. Hurry!"
"Oh, what a pity!"
"..."
Everyone felt very sorry, but had no choice but to evacuate towards the military camp in a hurry.
And Li Mu and the others had just changed paths not long ago.
Then I heard a cry of death coming from behind the team.
Li Mu was surprised for a while.
How could there be chaos later?
Could he still be attacked from behind?
Impossible!
"grown ups!"
"A group of cavalry appeared from behind, about a hundred people in total. They raided my baggage team and burned several of our carts of grain and grass with kerosene!"
After a while.
A soldier came hurriedly on horseback to report.
"What?"
"A hundred-man cavalry?"
"Where did he get so many people from Sanhe County?"
"Isn't it the bandits from around here?"
Li Mu was shocked.
"Judging from their clothing and combat effectiveness, they should be officers and soldiers. They move very quickly."
The soldier said.
"quick!"
"Let the cavalry from the vanguard catch up and kill them for me. We must keep our food, grass and baggage!"
Li Mu shouted loudly.
I feel vaguely bad.
After all, I was a little careless. I originally thought that if they came all the way, the one at the back of the team would be the safest.
So he put the baggage and food and fodder in the rear team.
But they didn't expect that they could go around to the back.
After a while.
The centurion of the vanguard ran back.
"grown ups!"
"As soon as we passed by, they ran away in a panic, not daring to fight us at all!"
"I'd like to ask you to bring a team of troops over there. I'll definitely wipe them all out!"
The leading centurion said.
"no!"
"They retreated so simply. Maybe they were cheating."
"It's not a good time to divide our troops now. Let's get to the county capital as soon as possible!"
"Let's set off immediately!"
Li Mu flatly refused.
Arrangement of food, grass and baggage in the central army, the army set off again and headed towards the county government.
…
In a dense forest.
Jia Gong led a group of troops and glanced at the army that was starting to march again in the distance.
"map!"
Jia Gong took a topographic map of Sanhe County from the soldier next to him and looked at it.
Since last time.
After Zhang Bao asked Zhang Hansheng to lead people to draw a map of Sanhe County.
I had several copies made.
With these maps, match the movement speed of the cavalry.
It's like they have a God's perspective.
Everything is under control.
"Sun Mancang, notify the other team to kill all their cavalry scouts."
"I'm going to make them blind and deaf!"
Jia Gong greeted someone and said.
For the current march.
The infantry scouts will not run too far, and cavalry scouts will be sent out to conduct reconnaissance and pathfinding in front.
If these cavalry scouts are killed.
Then this group of people is equivalent to traveling in the dark.
In this way.
Jia Gong and the others holding terrain maps are equivalent to turning on the battlefield full map mode.
Li Mu and the others are in fog mode.
"Why are you still so timid?"
"You have clearly taken advantage of them just now. If you fight all the way in, you might be able to disperse them!"
"You run away as soon as someone comes. Are you so afraid of death?"
"Just like that guy named Bao, he was afraid of death and asked me to take people there!"
Xie Yunsong, who was on the side, couldn't help it anymore and stepped forward very dissatisfied.
"Your Majesty's order is not for us to attack, but for us to hold them back."
"If their cavalry team arrives and entangles us, the advantage of the cavalry's speed will not be used."
"As for whether you are afraid of death or not, you will know."
Jia Gong glanced at Xie Yunsong coldly.
"besides!"
"From now on, if I hear you insult our adults again."
"I will kill you directly!"
"You can try, I dare or I dare not, I can or I can't!"
