Chapter 544: Old Crooked Neck Tree
"When you attacked the city, Bingbo Silin was not in the city!" Hearing Meng Feijun's words, Mo Yuan's face showed an uncontrollable joy. He tried his best to endure the five words "It's so good."
The two most important contributions to this attack on Mulu City are to capture the city and capture or kill Bingbo Silin. All other contributions cannot be compared with these two.
Among them, since contacting the Sassanian family who was ambushed inside and outside Mulu City, Liu Qi has formulated a strategy to use the relationships that the Sasanian family has to send troops to seize the city. Although the cavalry generals such as Mo Yuan also wanted to get a share of this contribution, the cavalry in the siege war were not very useful, so they could only rest.
At the same time, what they had to let go was also the capture and killing of Ghibo Silin. Ghibo Silin must be in the Governor's Mansion in Mulu City, which can be regarded as part of the siege battle. Even if the vanguard army led by Meng Fei's army failed to capture Ghibo Silin, this contribution would fall into the hands of the infantry that arrived later, and the cavalry would still be useless.
‘When the lieutenant said he wanted me to make great contributions in the siege, he was just a scheming trick!’ When he heard the siege strategy, Mo Yuan still thought so.
But Bingbo Silin was not in the city and was not captured and killed by the vanguard army; and as the first general to lead his cavalry to Mulu City, he would get this job.
‘Did the lieutenant predict that Bingbo Silin would not stay in the city, but outside the city? Did the lieutenant get the dream of the Taoist ancestor, or was as magical as Zhuge Kongming?’ He couldn't help thinking like this again.
"All the soldiers, immediately follow me to seize the two big food camps in the north of the city!" The above thoughts flashed through Mo Yuan's mind for a moment. He quickly came to his senses and turned his head to shout loudly at the soldiers.
"Mo Guoyi, I will bring you the guide." Meng Feijun shouted at this time, and ordered Danfu and others to come over with a dozen prisoners, and said, "They are all guards left in the Governor's Mansion and are willing to serve our army."
"Get out more than a dozen horses and let these people ride on it." Mo Yuan ordered a guard, then turned his head and said to the prisoner: "Just point out the camp where Bercilin is, I guarantee you will not die and you will receive many rewards."
"Thank you, Mo Guoyi." Two or three of these dozen people could speak Chinese. When they heard Mo Yuan's words translated to others, they led everyone to salute.
"Mo Guoyi, don't have to free up horses for them." Meng Feijun said again: "We found twenty or thirty horses from the Governor's Mansion, so they can ride them."
"Take it here."
"Let me come here." Meng Feijun agreed, and more than twenty horses were led over, and the prisoners turned over the horse's back.
At this time, thousands of soldiers behind him had already learned the order. Everyone adjusted their state, from the loose rest that was about to rest to the state of fighting, and then grabbed the reins and was ready to fight at any time.
"Crash!" Mo Yuan did not delay any more this time, and shouted and took the lead in charge. The soldiers immediately followed.
They soon arrived near the two camps. Mo Yuan immediately noticed that the two camps that could accommodate four or five thousand people were almost empty at this time. There were only dozens of people in each camp, and they were all injured. They were immediately disappointed.
Since there were only so few soldiers left here, it can be seen that after discovering that the city was almost lost, Bingbo Silin retreated immediately without any hesitation; and at this time he could not even see the tail of the retreat queue, so he would definitely not be able to catch up quickly.
"Guoyi, chase after him immediately. Although Bingbo Silin has escaped, it has not been long since the infantry entered Mulu City, and they will not escape too far." said a guard.
"The entire army stopped marching and divided into two groups of troops to attack these two camps." Mo Yuan was moved for a moment when he heard the guard's words, but in the end he ordered.
"Guoyi, why don't you catch up?" the man asked.
"Meng Fei's army and the prisoners said that the two camps in the north of the city had four or five thousand soldiers, and more than three thousand cavalry. I only commanded more than two thousand cavalry, and there were not as many as the Dashi cavalry. I rashly chased after them. When we caught up, our army was mostly trapped and we might have lost our troops and might have defeated the war.
Now this battle that has been fighting for more than three years is almost at its last moment. I would rather not make contributions than fail." Mo Yuan explained.
The guard stopped talking. He did not agree with Mo Yuan's words, but knew that he could not persuade Mo Yuan to change his thoughts, so he could only keep silent.
More than two thousand cavalrymen quickly divided into two groups and attacked the two camps. The remaining large-scale food soldiers in the camp tried to prevent them from entering the camp, but these disabled people could not stop the Anxi soldiers at all. The enemy entered the camp in a short time and waved a big knife and a spear to kill the disabled large-scale foodies.
As the war entered the last moment, Li Gong or Liu Qi's approach to the cannibals was likely to change, so whether it was Meng Fei's army, Mo Yuan, or other generals, they ordered the soldiers not to chop and kill the cannibals at will, and only those who had resisted could be killed; the violators were severely detained. Therefore, the soldiers of Anxi did not slaughter the city or set fire after entering the city.
But the disabled large food soldiers in front of them obviously fall into the range that can be cut and killed. First, they resisted the attack of the Anxi Army; secondly, they were all injured or disabled and had no value left at all, so everyone cut and killed at will.
Soon, two or three hundred disabled people in the two camps were killed, with no one alive; the soldiers also had to scatter the camps. However, Mo Yuan was still worried that someone would hide somewhere and wait for an opportunity to attack, so he ordered them not to relax their vigilance and not to walk around the camp alone.
This inevitably affects the speed of searching camps. According to the usual practice, two thousand people can search the camps where four or five thousand people live in a quarter of an hour, but it took half an hour to complete today.
"Report Guoyi, the camp has been searched." After a while, a general said to Mo Yuan.
"I told everyone to clean up and we will rest in the camp east tonight." Mo Yuan ordered.
"Yes." The man agreed and turned to send the order. At this time, two soldiers suddenly came over with their bodies on stretchers, and when they met the general, they said a few words softly.
"What's going on?" Mo Yuan asked.
"Guo Yi, the two of them found the body in a tent, and seemed to have committed suicide. The man's clothes looked good, and there were two pieces of paper with words written beside him. They thought this man was a big man, and the paper might be written on it. He brought it over and asked the prisoners to identify who it was."
"Go and call all the prisoners over and let them identify them carefully." Mo Yuan ordered and said to the two soldiers: "Leave the suicide note to me."
One of them immediately came over and handed the suicide note to Mo Yuan. Mo Yuan didn't care at first, but after a glance, his face suddenly changed!
