Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 213
After Lu Meng encouraged and boosted morale, he immediately led his troops to advance westward.

This [-]-man army still uses Pan Zhang's infantry as the vanguard, and Lu Meng's own navy can only be used as infantry now.

When the army had marched fifty miles, Pan Zhang sent out a sentry flying horse to report that Lai Gong's soldiers and horses took advantage of their own retreat and had already advanced several miles and set up camp on the hill where they had originally stationed their troops.

This is a proper slap in the face, and now all the commanding heights are occupied regardless of the north and south shores.

Geographical advantages play a greater role in wars.

Pan Zhang ordered the front army to move forward slowly, and personally went to the rear to meet Lu Meng and ask for advice.

Lu Meng was a little dumbfounded after hearing this, he thought that Lai Gong was still "waiting for work", but he didn't expect to "take the initiative to attack" now, this was the first time he met such an insidious opponent.

"General, the other army occupies the commanding heights, what should we do?" Pan Zhang asked for instructions.

Lu Meng frowned, thinking that he also needs to ask me about this matter?He immediately replied in a deep voice: "If you order the army to move forward, how can it be stopped because the opponent occupies a high point?"

"Wei." Pan Zhang clasped his fists and took the order to urge the army to hurry.

Since most of them did not have horses to travel, it was almost dusk when the 2 people traveled to the north of Moon Bay.

Pan Zhang pointed at Xiaoqiu with a whip in his hand and said, "General, look."

From a distance, Lu Meng saw the scattered camps on the small hill, and a raging beacon fire was ignited on the high mountain on the south bank.

Needless to say, the whereabouts of Jiangdong soldiers and horses were conveyed to Lai Gong in time.

"Order the whole army to set up camp on the spot, and let's rest overnight and fight again tomorrow," Lu Meng ordered.

"Wei." The general beside Lu Meng replied, and immediately galloped to deliver the general's order.

When Pan Zhang saw this, he immediately reminded: "Be careful that Lai Gong will come to rob the camp while our army is tired from a long distance, and at night."

Lu Meng said affirmatively: "The entire Jiangdong army is here, how can the camp be robbed by the other side again? I will let the whole camp of the Chinese military guards guard at night, and you can tell the soldiers to rest in peace."

"Understood." Pan Zhang also nodded.

"I see that the opponent's camp is neatly arranged, and this guy's camp defense is quite organized. I really underestimated him before, and I don't know how the opponent's combat effectiveness is. Tomorrow you will lead the front to take charge of the first round of attack. All horses need to be raised. Energize yourself." Lu Meng continued to order.

"Wei." Pan Zhang responded with cupped fists.

It was already dark after the army set up camp, and after a day's journey they were so hungry that stares stared at their eyes. Lu Meng first arranged for the Chinese military guards to guard, and then arranged for the camps to set up pots for cooking.

Due to the proximity to Yushui, every move in Lu Meng's camp was controlled by the beacon tower on the south bank of Moon Bay.

In order to prevent the eyes on the opposite mountain from tipping off the news, Lu Meng specially arranged for soldiers to observe the beacon tower on the opposite bank. He concluded that this was Lai Gong's greatest source of information. Maybe he would really rob the camp while his side was cooking and resting.

The observation posts are directly connected with the guards in charge of vigilance, forming a complete response linkage mechanism.

But from the moment Lu Meng set up camp, Lai Gong treated them as if they didn't exist, and didn't react at all.

The beacon fire of the sentry tower on the south bank of Moon Bay has not been ignited for a long time, and the guards of the Chinese army who are in charge of guarding are a little tired mentally, especially after the smell of food in the camp is filled, their attention has turned to the camp.

It's really uncomfortable to eat and drink with your companions and stand guard by yourself.

After that, the battalions lined up to receive the meals one after another. This was the most chaotic time of the night.

Lu Meng camped with his back to the water, and there were gates on the east, west, and north sides.

Because Lai Gong's camp was on the hill to the west, Lu Meng instructed the guards to focus on the northwest.

In the eastern part of the camp, several guards were first shot to death by silent bamboo arrows.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of torches were thrown onto the tent by Shamoko's cavalry, and the flames climbed into the sky in an instant.

"Waterfall"

"Enemy attack."

"A bandit army robbed the camp"

The eastern part of the camp is mainly the navy. They were terrified when they saw the fire, and they immediately thought of the fire boats in Moon Bay.

Shouts and exclamations spread everywhere, and soon spread throughout the camp from the east.

The soldiers of each battalion had just picked up their bowls. After seeing the fire and hearing the shouts, no one had any appetite at all.

The private military system adopted by Jiangdong, Sun Quan as the commander may not be able to order and prohibit it, let alone Lu Meng is still the general.For their own interests, the little commanders of each battalion asked their subordinates to put down their bowls and pick up their knives, and spontaneously participated in guarding and defending against the enemy.

The entire camp was in chaos during the meal, so Lu Meng quickly summoned the military commander in charge of the guards to question him.

Army Sima: "There are fewer guards in the eastern part of the camp. I encountered a small group of enemy attacks just now, but they have already left after simple harassment. I have been chased out."

"How about the loss of the camp?" Lu Meng asked.

"Three or four tents were burned." Jun Sima replied.

Lu Meng ordered in a deep voice: "Lai Gong really played tricks and tricks. I didn't give enough instructions just now. This fellow Gong must have sent cavalry around the rear. This place is less than three miles away from the enemy camp. The east, west, north, and north gates must send additional guards."

"Wei." Jun Sima responded with cupped fists.

At this time, Lu Meng lost his mind to eat again, and he hurriedly called the generals and schools of the battalions to appease the soldiers.

There was a lot of commotion, and the dinner of the soldiers was either cold or overturned in a panic, so Lu Meng had no choice but to ask the soldiers to light the fire again.

Lan Tian asked Gan Ning to choose [-] cavalry from the barbarian cavalry, and divided them into ten squadrons to prepare for the wheel tactics. Gan Ning personally commanded them, and their main purpose was to tire the enemy.

Yushui flows quietly at night, summer insects chirp crazily near the camp, and there are beep whistles at that time.

This was destined to be an unforgettable night in Lu Meng's military career, because the three hundred barbarians came to harass him every hour.

The harassing cavalry sometimes set fire to them, and sometimes they just left after shouting at the gate of the village. Lu Meng sent troops to chase them, but they couldn't catch up because they were unfamiliar with the terrain.

Around midnight, some soldiers in the battalion didn't even have a good meal.

Not to mention that the navy led by Lu Meng couldn't take a good rest, even Pan Zhang's forward cavalry were always in fear.

Lu Meng had no choice but to increase the guards. Some people suggested that he should not pay any attention to such innocuous harassment, but Lu Meng did not dare to bet at all. What if ten times of harassment was mixed with a real robbery?
Around Choushi, Gan Ning organized the last harassment, and then retreated to the barracks to rest according to the established route.

Lu Meng's central army guards had been tortured to the point of exhaustion, and at this time they would not send troops to pursue them.

Gan Ning's harassing troops slept soundly after returning to the camp, while the camp of the Jiangdong Army was in pain.

Soldiers who are afraid of death stay up all night, soldiers who are cautious are still waiting for the bandits to harass them, and Lu Meng, the chief general, dare not sleep even more.

In the middle of the night, when Gan Ning did not come to disturb them, many soldiers lost sleep instead.

In the early morning of the next day, the firehead soldiers set up pots and stoves to cook with dark circles under their eyes.

Lu Meng got up early and ordered the general to purge the troops. As a result, the whole battalion was depressed.

He couldn't help asking himself: Do soldiers who stay up late still have combat effectiveness?
