After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 399
After receiving the reward from the military officer, Meng Di knew that Wu Jun was coming straight towards him, so after thinking about it, he chose a small hill nearby and prepared for battle on the top of the hill. defense.

However, there is also a fatal disadvantage, that is, there is no water source on this mountain. Although the soldiers carry food, in the case of water shortage, they will support for three days at most, and their physical strength will gradually start to be exhausted. It can be said that it is a desperate situation.

But choosing such a place, Meng Di also thought carefully, he just hoped that Fu Chai could see this, and then choose to attack fiercely, so that they could be guaranteed to be attracted here.

Moreover, since the military rations in the Han army have been reformed, all soldiers are equipped with water bags. As long as they save some water when drinking, it is not a problem to last for four or five days. time of day.

Moreover, the cavalry and infantry set off from Xincheng together. Judging from the speed, the cavalry is faster than them. Now they may have penetrated to the rear of the Wu army. Under such circumstances, the cavalry can prepare in two or three days at most. in place.

As for the final result, Mengdi still has some confidence in his heart. Although the [-] infantry has not been shown for a long time, the high-intensity training and excellent equipment make him full of confidence.

It's just that in order to attract the enemy here, he directly ordered all the soldiers to remove all the bows and crossbows in their hands, and don't use them for the time being. There are still some special marksmen among the infantry, and they will be used to barely support them for a while. .

After Fu Chai arrived with the army, he was surprised to see the formation of the Han army on the hill. This is not to say that the formation of the Han army is so amazing, but the momentum and the sense of oppression.

At this time, a military marquis came in a hurry and reported immediately after dismounting.

"I would like to inform the king that there is no water source found around this mound, which means that the soldiers on the mountain set up camp without water source. General Wang ahead of us is now besieging the city, so as to ensure that the enemy cannot retreat."

Fu Chai laughed out loud, his eyes filled with complacency, and he turned his head and said to Bo Pi.

"People in the world say that this Mengdi is good at leading troops in battle, but seeing him today is indeed a bit of a waste of reputation. He actually camped in such a desperate place. Don't you know that this is a self-defeating situation?"

"In this way, as long as our army is besieged under the hills, their people will not be able to lift their knives in a few days without drinking water. When the time comes to capture Mengdi, our battle will be over." Turned defeat into victory.”

After hearing this, Bo Pi frowned slightly. He always felt that there was something wrong with it. This Meng Di had been famous for a long time, not to mention defeating the Jin army twice. This is a real deal. Why did he make a mistake today? Such a serious mistake?
But now that the business trip is in high spirits, he doesn't need to touch his brows at this time, so he smiled and said.

"In this way, congratulations to King Hexi, as long as we catch Mengdi this time, we can threaten the Han Kingdom. Their kings have already been captured, and then we can conquer others without fighting. Soldiers."

"However, this Mengdi has always made great achievements in battle. Since we want to surround them, we have to work hard. We should dig a deep ditch and surround them with horses, so that they will be hard to fly."

When Fu Chai heard this, he felt even more proud, and immediately ordered the army to start besieging the mountain. After seeing this scene, the Han army on the mountain was somewhat shaken, but at this time Meng Di spoke to them loudly.

"Our military strength is not dominant, so we can only turn defeat into victory by using extraordinary methods. After so many years of training, you are all the elite among the elite. Do you feel that victory is hopeless when you encounter such a predicament?"

"And our cavalry is not far away, and they will definitely arrive within two or three days. When the time comes, the Wu army will be defeated and returned. This time is also the time to make you famous all over the world."

"So don't feel fear in your heart, hold the knives in your hands tightly, hold on for a few days, and prepare to fight back, and let me have a look at the results of your long-term training, and see if you are worthy of your monthly salary. The monthly salary arrived."

"And don't forget, if we are defeated this time, these Wu troops will lead a large army to attack directly under Huaicheng. Your family and children are all near Huaicheng, and they will become captives of others at that time. .”

"Is this the ending you want to see? And today, this king is standing with you to fight together. What do you have to worry about? After this victory, you will definitely get a lot of rewards."

"Think about the good days ahead, muster up your courage, pick up the knives in your hands, and when the Wu army attacks, I will repel them, protect your children, and guard the territory of our Han country!"

After some encouragement, the fear on the soldiers' faces gradually disappeared. The long-term high-intensity training made them conditioned to obey orders, not to mention that the Marquis of Han was by their side.

Quite a few of these people were former slaves. If it wasn't for the preferential treatment given to them by the Han Dynasty, they might still be driven and abused by others at this time, let alone have a good life now.

So Mengdi also has a very special place in their hearts. Even the majestic Hanhou is willing to take risks at this time. They have nothing to complain about, so their morale is immediately high.

Seeing that there was no fear in their eyes, Meng Di nodded slightly, his heart was also filled with relief, and he immediately gave an order.

"According to my order, the whole army is divided into three teams. The first team will set up defensive attacks on the mountainside, the second team will set up defensive fortifications on the top of the mountain, and the third team will rest temporarily. Once the battle starts, the first team will retreat. on top."

This arrangement is to separate the soldiers, so that they can take turns to rest while defending, so as to avoid excessive physical exertion. After all, the number of the two sides is too different, so we must be prepared for a protracted battle in case of emergency .

After receiving the order, the whole army immediately started to act, and the long-term training showed good results. These are their regular training subjects, so things are done like flowing water, and the soldiers on the whole mountain are immediately busy.
