Braised Dragon with Soy Sauce
Chapter 93 A Scheme to Attack the Grain Procurement Team
Therefore, this time the attack tactic was also adopted.
After arriving at the designated location and meeting up with all the Falcon Team members, Mo Yuming arranged a plan to ambush and attack.
After carefully analyzing the enemy's marching route, Mo Yuming divided the two hundred Falcon Teams into three squads.
A team of fifty men, led by Master Long and Master Hu, ambushed in Wangxiang Town.
Entering Longguo from Zhenglan Kingdom, Wangxiang Town is the first stop, and the grain collection team will inevitably have to pass through Wangxiang Town.
They requisitioned several houses in Wangxiang Town and then launched a surprise attack from behind when the troops were about to leave the town.
This time, we shouldn't touch the supplies. We should just ambush and kill some soldiers to create chaos for them. Don't linger in battle; killing one or two hundred soldiers is enough.
Then they quickly retreated, hid, and quietly followed the enemy.
The second team, led by Grandpa Electricity and Grandpa Wind, consisted of fifty men who lay in ambush in Wolf Valley, using arrows buried there to launch a surprise attack on the enemy.
Five falcons were deployed in groups, scattered and lying in ambush.
They would wait until the enemy had passed before launching an attack from behind. Once the ambush was successful, they would immediately hide, and each group of falcons only needed to kill a dozen or so people.
Then, like the first team, they followed the enemy from a distance.
The third team, led by Master Yu and Master Shun, consisted of the remaining one hundred falcons hidden at the exit of Wolf Valley. This time, it was a head-on battle, using arrows for long-range shooting.
After inflicting some casualties on the enemy, they took the initiative to retreat.
After Mo Yuming finished making the arrangements, the three teams immediately headed towards their ambush locations.
Meanwhile, Mo Yuming rode a Crimson Cloud Horse towards Luoxia City.
Now that Luoxia City and Shangyuan City are under my control, food reserves are essential. Therefore, this ambush cannot burn the food supplies; instead, they must be preserved for my own use.
The town was as peaceful as ever, mainly because it was a remote area with few pedestrians, and the town itself was small, so it rarely had any lively moments.
But today is going to be lively again. A team sent by Lord Liao to purchase grain and fodder for Zheng Lan Kingdom is slowly walking over from the border of Zheng Lan Kingdom with dozens of carts of grain and fodder.
The official road passing through Wangxiang Town is the only way to Luoxia City. The procession of two thousand people passing through it was a grand affair, which suddenly made the quiet town lively.
Because the town was too small to accommodate such a large team to rest, and the team had a heavy mission to complete, they had no intention of stopping to rest. They just wanted to transport the supplies back to Luoxia City as soon as possible and complete the mission smoothly.
Therefore, the army leader ordered the troops to pass through the town at full speed, as the town was a mixed bag and they wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble.
If his supplies are lost, then he will be in big trouble.
Just as the group left the town and headed towards Wolf Valley, a dense volley of arrows suddenly shot out from several houses along the roadside, heading towards the cavalry bringing up the rear of the group.
Because the attack came from behind, dozens of cavalrymen at the back of the column were shot and fell from their horses.
"Enemy attack! Quickly form ranks and defend!"
But the falcons reacted even faster. By the time the soldiers recovered from their panic and prepared to defend themselves, the falcons had already rushed into the cavalry and attacked the soldiers transporting supplies!
"Quickly protect the grain supplies!"
The general leading the way saw the enemy heading straight for the supplies and hurriedly ordered, "The supplies are their lifeline; they cannot be lost in the slightest."
The soldiers positioned at the front and rear immediately changed their defensive formation and moved towards the grain carts. Upon seeing this, the Falcon team members exchanged greetings, turned around, knocked down several soldiers around them, and quickly dispersed and retreated.
Upon seeing this, the cavalry immediately spurred their horses to give chase and kill them! But the Falcon team members scattered and fled, so the pursuing soldiers would inevitably have to disperse as well.
"Stop! Stop! Don't chase after them!"
The military commander immediately realized what was happening and ordered the pursuing soldiers to turn back and abandon the pursuit.
"General, why did you let them go? We could have wiped them out just now!"
The recalled cavalrymen were somewhat confused.
"There were only forty or fifty men who ambushed us just now. Judging from their behavior of rushing straight for the supplies, their main purpose was to destroy our supplies."
But they left in a hurry before they even succeeded. Do you know why?
"That's because they were outnumbered, and once we surrounded them, they had virtually no chance of survival! So they had no choice but to flee!"
"Wrong! Since they were chosen to be assassins, they must all be suicide squads."
They certainly aren't afraid of death. If they really fight to the death, they can at least destroy half of our supplies before they're all wiped out.
"Then why did they retreat?"
"The reason is simple: they are just bait; there is definitely another unit lying in ambush in the shadows!"
Judging from their fleeing in all directions, they want to scatter our forces and then gradually whittle us down!
"They must be outnumbered, probably less than a thousand. A head-on confrontation would not yield any advantage, so they resorted to this desperate measure!"
"General's analysis is indeed insightful! I am ashamed of my inferiority!"
"Alright, the team will set off immediately. Everyone, stay alert to avoid being ambushed again!"
"Yes!"
"We're approaching Wolf Valley. The valley is overgrown with weeds and dense with trees, teeming with wild animals. Be careful of ambushes! Everyone, stay alert and get through quickly!"
……
"what!"
"Ambush! Protect the supplies! Form ranks and advance!"
"what!……"
"You scoundrel! You bastard! If you have the guts, come out and fight me! What kind of person hides in the shadows and shoots arrows at me!"
Although all the soldiers had formed a defensive line, the column was too long and there was still a lot of food to protect, so there were always weak points that were exposed! As a result, soldiers were shot and killed from time to time along the way, but the enemy hiding in the shadows could not be found. The generals of the army had no choice but to order the soldiers to fire arrows blindly in return while ordering them to protect the food and advance quickly.
When they finally managed to get out of Wolf Valley, nearly a hundred more people in the group were killed.
The general was so enraged that he flew into a rage.
"General, we've reached a fork in the road. Once we cross it, we'll enter the territory of Luoxia City!"
"Alright! Full speed ahead!"
Just as the vanguard troops were rounding the fork in the road and heading towards Luoxia City, more than a hundred men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the intersection ahead, raising their crossbows and firing wildly.
Before the soldiers at the front could react, dozens of them were shot dead!
"Form ranks! Charge!"
Because the enemy was blocking the way, the general in charge immediately ordered his troops to counterattack.
The vanguard troops immediately sprang into action, forming battle formations and launching a counterattack.
Since the Falcon team only had one hundred members, while the enemy's vanguard numbered at least five or six hundred, after a fierce battle, several members of the Falcon team were wounded and withdrew from the battle, retreating towards Luoxia City. The other members also began to retreat.
"Quick! Don't let them get away, give chase!"
The commanding general shouted through gritted teeth.
"Damn it, only a hundred men, and they dare to attack us? Let's see where you run to this time!"
After two ambushes, the commanding general discovered that each time, about fifty men ambushed them from behind, and once they saw no opportunity to attack, they would immediately retreat.
They then sent troops to track and investigate, but after observation they found no hidden troops nearby, leaving the commanding general somewhat puzzled as to why the enemy was making such a harmless fuss.
This time, seeing more than a hundred people blocking the road towards Luoxia City and desperately trying to stop them, it gave the impression that these people didn't want them to go to Luoxia City, so they blocked their way.
However, the disparity in manpower was too great, and they had no choice but to retreat.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief thought he had understood the enemy's intentions. It wasn't that the enemy had many ambushes lying in the shadows, but that the enemy only had about a hundred men in total, and could only do some things to harass them.
He felt he had been too cautious before; with only about a hundred people, his team lost several hundred.
Not far ahead was Luoxia City, where more than 10,000 of their own troops were stationed. The commander felt that such a good opportunity could not be missed, so he ordered the escorting troops to leave 300 men to escort the supplies, while the remaining nearly 1,000 men went to pursue and annihilate the Falcon team.
