Feng Heming

Chapter 383 Beware of the Woods
Gu Yidan doesn't know how long it will take to fight against the imperial court this time. After all, the Jingmen Army's reputation is too loud. Before, there were only [-] Jingmen Army and the Baimei Army took nearly [-] lives. Of course, the Baimei Army at that time The army is made up of a group of refugees who are not full enough to eat. Today is different from the past. The White Eyebrow Army has been separated for three days, but it is the [-] Jingmen Army after all, so it is not an exaggeration to be cautious about it.

Fear filled her heart, but her face was still calm. After the Gu family heard the news, they didn't give her a good face all day long. The Gu family master and Gu father tried their best to persuade her to surrender.

Gu Yidan only thought that they were farting, and they were all traitors. Could it be that they would survive if they surrendered?
If the one sitting on the dragon chair wasn't Chen Xiong's son, Gu Yidan would still have listened to it, but now he just coldly ordered his attendants to take Patriarch Gu and Father Gu down to raise them up, and then turned around and continued to raise food.

Along the way, news from the South continued to come.

"Miss Gu San has raised nearly [-] grain and grass."

On the afternoon of the first day they set out on the ship, Jiang Yuanxi got the exact news that Gu Yidan was indeed raising food and grass, and she immediately ordered people to speed up the voyage.

They disguised themselves as cargo ships and never stopped at a certain place along the way. Just like that, they still drove for nearly six days to reach the vicinity of the Southland.

And Jiang Yuanxi just got the latest information.

Hu Bugui was gearing up excitedly, "One hundred thousand grain and grass, this guy really deserves to have the ability to turn things into gold. He can raise so much gold and make a lot of money this time."

When they arrived, it was the second watch of the night, and when they went ashore, Dong Pu, Jiang Boyong's subordinate, once pretended to be a Taoist priest and entered the palace to frighten Chen Xiong, and then escaped. Now, Jiang Boyong is staying in Nandi to take charge of the intelligence of Nandi network.

A group of people took advantage of the darkness to enter a villa outside the city. When they came to the hall, Jiang Yuanxi asked, "Do you have a map of the Southland?"

"Yes." Dongpu took out a three-foot-long sheepskin from his pocket, and handed it to Jiang Yuanxi respectfully. Jiang Yuanxi spread the map on the table and looked at it carefully.

Compared with the map of Beiliang in Danyang County, this map is very detailed, even where there are forests are marked.

Hu Bugui was no stranger to the strangeness, and he even suspected that Jiang Yuanxi had such a map not only in the south, but also in Guanzhong and the west.

"We are here now." Dong Pu pointed to the city with the word Yishui written on it.

Yishui is just to the east of Peiyang and Yingchuan. If you go northeast from Yishui, you will go to Yingchuan, and if you go southeast from Yishui, you will go to Peiyang.

And Yishui still depends on the river!
"Do you know when Mrs. Gu San will send people to deliver food and grass to Yingchuan?" Jiang Yuanxi raised his head and asked.

"Today, I found that Yingchuan has an army of 300 people heading towards Peiyang." Dongpu replied swiftly.

Jiang Yuanxi and the others immediately affirmed that the 300 people were here to escort grain and grass to Yingchuan.

"All cavalry?" she asked again.

"Yes, they are all cavalry." Dong Pu replied.

"Do you know how strong the three hundred cavalry are?" Jiang Yuanxi asked cautiously.

They only came with [-] riders. If they can't hit with a single blow, once they are held back by the [-]-day victorious army, Lu Heyu gets the news. Wan's sergeants hunted her down.

"These three hundred cavalry are all Lu Heyu's confidant guards, and they are the most loyal to the Tiansheng Army and Lu Heyu. In the battle with the Baimei Army, Lu Heyu did not dare to send cavalry to fight. There were only two fights in total.”

War horses are rare, and Lu Heyu cherishes them very much. Gu Yidan tried his best to let him form a cavalry of 500 people. After annexing the Baimei Army, there were about [-] more horses at once. , allowing him to form a cavalry force of two thousand.

Dong Pu did not dare to assert the strength of the cavalry of the Tiansheng Army, he only told what he knew.

Jiang Yuanxi looked at Hu Bugui, that's why she brought Hu Bugui out, in this case, a veteran had to check in.

Hu Bugui was carefully looking at the map of Nandi, "The most suitable terrain for cavalry to charge is flat ground. Starting from Peiyang, there is a section of flat ground here, which is the most suitable for us to charge, but there is no hiding place around us for us to ambush. , so you can’t choose here.”

With a flick of his finger, he pointed to a hilly terrain, "This place can hide our tracks very well, but we are on the offensive side. If the people who lead the Sky Victory Army are not stupid, they can take advantage of the terrain to defend We can still send people out for help."

His finger finally landed on a forest, "So, the only place we can do it is here."

Jiang Yuanxi raised his eyebrows slightly. The woods are the most oppressive terrain for cavalry.

Hu Bugui continued: "Since we don't know the strength of the cavalry of the Tiansheng Army, then we will not compete with them. We will hide in the tree, and when they appear, we will shoot arrows. There are 500 of us, and each of us will aim at one. A round of volley, clearing them is a piece of cake.

The Tiansheng army has three hundred war horses themselves, and we will use their war horses to transport food and grass, and we will quickly transport the food and grass back to the ship, and we can also get three hundred more war horses.Before leaving, he threw a piece of armor from the Jingmen army on the ground. "

The last time they fought against the Jingmen Army at Yanmen Pass, they confiscated a lot of Jingmen Army standard armor, and they also brought a few pieces this time.

Jiang Yuanxi agreed with his strategy, "Since we can set up an ambush in the woods, there is no guarantee that Lu and Yu will not send someone to keep an eye out in the woods. Instructor Hu, you will lead the cavalry, and Xiaohu and I will go first to the woods to find out the truth. You wait for our summons."

Hu Bugui has no objection, he knows that these two people are highly skilled in martial arts, so there is no need for him to worry.

After discussing the plan, Jiang Yuanxi relaxed and moved his hands and feet, and said with a light smile: "This reminds me that even if it is in my own territory, I should not take it lightly. If it is to transport food and grass, at least thousands of soldiers should be sent to escort it."

After a pause, she added with a smile, "Oh, and be careful of the woods."

Hu Bugui laughed out loud.

The night was dark, the plan was made, each went to rest, and the next day, Jiang Yuanxi and Shao Sihu drove to the woods from Jian by light car.

The two searched the woods, and there was no one hiding in the woods. The two of them even hid in the trees. They saw the three hundred cavalry passing by with their own eyes, but no one from the Tiansheng Army noticed anything.

After they left, Jiang Yuanxi said softly: "Look at their evil spirit and power, they should not be comparable to the cavalry of our Huben Army."

Shao Sihu calmly said, "Killing them is like killing chickens."

Jiang Yuanxi suddenly laughed, "Send a message to Coach Hu, let Dongpu pay close attention to when the food and grass delivery team will leave from Peiyang, we will wait for Coach Hu to lead people to come."

Four days later, Hu Bugui led 500 people to the woods in the dark. They hid in the trees and waited quietly for the arrival of the food and grass team.
