Chapter 1447: Fox hunting with iron walls, marching in the dark night, traveling over a hundred miles

In this way, when his provoy reported Shen Mo's traces from a hundred miles away, he led his troops over. In the interim, his Ali team's troops would almost be behind Shen Mo for one day and one night!

By that time, even if he could follow Shen Mo's footsteps, the other party's troops would definitely not know where to go!

At this time, Alibaba was already furious!

He stared at the map of the towns and fortresses around Didao Mansion in front of him, guessing in which direction Shen Mo's troops were moving, while anxiously hitting the table with the sheathed scimitar in his hand.

At this time, Pu Sue, behind him, appeared in Aliban's room with Hai Dongqing.

During the march, this Haidongqing did not have a special eagle frame, but stayed on the arms of the eagle trainer.

Of course, it landed not on the shoulders, but on the arm of Pusu.

A leather sheath was tied on Pu Su's thin arm. Now this snow-white Haidongqing, the extremely sharp eagle claws grabbed the leather arm and stood steadily.

In order to keep his arms always in a state of being kept, there is a support rod under Pusu's arm. One end is supported by his waist and the other end is supported by the leather case of the forearm. In this way, his arms can always be mounted effortlessly, allowing Hai Dongqing to fall on his head.

After Pu Su walked into the room, he sat on the head of the kang without even looking at the map on the table.

Then he stretched out his fingers and helped Hai Dongqing twist the frost and snow on the eagle's beak, while speaking to Aliban in a low voice:

"The fox runs all over the mountains and fields, and a hunting dog cannot catch up with it..."

"You're right!" Before Pu Su finished speaking, Aliban's eyes lit up in an instant!

What Pu Su just said really makes sense. He blindly led the army to chase after Shen Mo's butt. He was led by someone like this. When will he catch up with Shen Mo?

Instead of that, it would be better to hunt foxes like they usually do. Spread a few hunting dogs and run in all directions, blocking all the directions that the fox can escape.

Then, these hunting dogs slowly narrowed the encirclement and gradually approached the fox. When the fox looked up and found that all the escape routes were blocked, the fox was already trapped in a net and could no longer jump out of the encirclement!

Aliban, with a ferocious expression on his face, paused the scimitar towards the table, and then shouted the personal soldiers outside in.

Under his order, several personal soldiers quickly galloped towards all directions of Nanchuan Fort!

In Gongzhou, Xinhuizhou, Lanzhou, Hezhou, Jishizhou, and Aliban, near their Lintao Prefecture, they ordered them to send their troops to approach Lintao Prefecture.

In the order, Aliban asked them to set up tight defenses, defend the defense line on the border of their prefecture, and stationed troops on the border lines around Lintao Prefecture.

Finally, he ordered Taozhou, far south, to send troops northward to block the Tao River line. That is the route that Shen Mo passed when he led his troops in.

In this way, a blockade line surrounded by iron walls was formed around Lintao Prefecture. Although there was still a lot of room for Shen Mo's team to advance and retreat, once this blockade circle was formed, Shen Mo was the fish in the basin and could not swim out no matter how hard it was!

...

After he issued the order, Aliban looked back at his resourceful, fierce and gloomy counselor Pu Su.

I saw Ali asking Pu Su in confusion: "What is the purpose of this Shen Mo coming to our Lintao?"

"He can't conquer anything. His foundation is thousands of miles away from Huainan East Road, so he can't conquer him even if he kills it. Besides, our Lintao Mansion is very poor, so what can I rob? "

When he heard Aliban’s question, Pu Su thought for a long time, but he didn’t say a word like a gourd that was muffled.

Aliban had long been familiar with his old partner's behavior and did not care about his silence at all. However, this question remained deeply in his heart.

What did Shen Mo do this time?

...

After a night of rapid travel to the north, Shen Mo had already reached a hundred miles north of Didao.

The roads at night are rugged and difficult to walk because war horses are not nocturnal animals. Therefore, marching in the wilderness is a very dangerous thing.

Usually in such dark marches, it is normal for people to fall behind and troops to fall apart.

However, in Shen Mo's army, there was a glass-covered kerosene lantern in each squad of soldiers in ten people. This lantern was covered with a sheath made of iron wire, so it was not afraid of shaking or slight bumps.

So when they march at night, although their speed is not as good as daytime, they are not much worse.

After Shen Mo led the team to move rapidly, after more than ten hours of his departure yesterday, Shen Mo saw a piece of green wolf eyes looming in the darkness in the distance.

After Shen Mo ordered the troops to stop, he saw the werewolf Awang wearing wolf skin appearing in the darkness. He was jumping down like a rolling stone from the distant mountains.

After seeing Awang reach Shen Mo's side, he pointed to a direction in the darkness and said to Shen Mo: "Shen Mo! Lintao Fort is ahead!"

Hearing Awang's words, Shen Mo nodded immediately and let the team behind him extinguish all the lanterns.

After that, he asked the entire army to put down his war horses and follow him on foot.

...

According to the map and enemy information sent by Shen Mo's disciple Cheng Wuhen, this Lintao Fort is a fortress located in the north of Didao City. It is very different from the Nanchuan Fort and Tonggu Fort that Shen Mo captured one after another.

The first thing is to gain enough early warning time. This Lintao Fort was built further from Didao, about ninety miles and nearly a hundred miles away.

Secondly, this fortress is wider and huge, with an area almost twice that of Nanchuan Fort. Each side of the city wall is 150 meters long, and the number of defenders inside exceeds one thousand.

In fact, after thinking a little, Shen Mo knew why this fortress was built larger. It was because Lintao Fort faced the direction of Xixia!

For the Lintao Road of the Jin Dynasty, the possibility of the Song army crossing the Hengduan Mountains from the south and attacking the Jin Dynasty was slim. Therefore, the main invasion direction that Lintao Prefecture had to guard against was to face the Xixia side.
