Chapter 624: The Jackal Comes to Wen Hu Cang Hu, I Have a Boy, Mu Qing Mu Yuan
After Mozi Camp disembarked on the southeast bank between the Han River and the Yang River, Shen Mo ordered the ships to anchor and moor, and the troops set up camp on site.
Then he sent 80 light cavalry under his command as sentry probes to patrol the city.
The entire army began to rest, while Shen Mo sent Shi Baoying to Zhenfu City to find the person in charge of the Sihai Trading Company.
Sihai Trading Company has a fixed store in Zhenfu City. While hoarding food and supplies for Shen Mo, this store also bears the function of collecting enemy intelligence.
Therefore, as long as you find the person in charge and ask, the enemy situation during this period will be clear.
Shen Mo predicted that during the 20 days he led the team to go up the Yangtze River, the Western Xia Iron Cavalry would not stay in Mianzhou honestly.
According to Shen Mo's estimate, the military front of the Western Xia Iron Harrier has at least reached Xingyuan Mansion, and may be in a stalemate with the defenders of Xingyuan Mansion. Shi Baoying quickly drove a ship against the current and headed towards the real talisman. On this side, Shen Mo heard the return from probing the horse, saying that there was no sign of enemy activity within 30 miles nearby, so he ordered the Mozi Camp, who was traveling for a long distance, to order the long-distance boat.
The soldiers returned to the barracks to rest. The Han River Valley is located south of the Qinling Mountains, so the winter is not very cold. In addition, Shen Mo's military tent was designed by him, both light and warm. Perhaps no soldier has enjoyed this height from ancient times to the present.
Standard accommodation benefits. I believe that sleeping well this night will definitely help the soldiers who travel long distances to quickly recover their physical strength.
After a night of rest, the next morning, Shi Baoying finally brought the person in charge of Sihai Business Club here.
The shopkeeper of the True Talisman Semi-Colon, named Zhao Zhengqing, is a capable man in his thirties.
As soon as he entered Shen Mo's military tent, he and Shen Mo checked the tokens from the Sihai Trading Company.
Then, when he was informing the military, he spoke out a shocking news!
Xingyuan Prefecture was lost 3 days ago. The Western Xia Iron Cavalry's army broke through the Yang line the day before yesterday and captured the real talisman yesterday!
It's really a speed like a prairie fire!
In other words, the Western Xia iron hooves were strode downstream along the Han River. They had already walked behind the Mozi Camp. Shen Mo and his team's current position was really in the enemy-occupied area!
Zhao Zhengqing pointed at the map on the table and reported to Shen Mohui:
"According to the news sent back from our local semicolons, the Da'an Army in the south of Lizhou Road and the Tianshui Army in the north have arrived in Shiquan County. Now the two armies are gathering together and are building a defense line to defend the impact of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry." "The people who lead the Song army are now the commander of the Northwest official army and the commander of the five roadside army, named Yang Zhengwu. His subordinates have gathered all the troops on Lizhou East Road and Lizhou West Road. There are 150,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, a total of 180,000 150,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry, a total of 180,000.
people."
"It is said that Yang Zhengwu received an order to defend Shiquan County to the death and fight against the Western Xia Iron Harrier on the spot."
Shen Mo looked at the map while listening to Yang Zhengwu's explanation.
In this way, just from the front line between Shiquan County and Yangzhou they passed yesterday, it was the battlefield where the war was about to take place.
The current situation is that the two armies of Song and Xia are about to collide in Shiquan and a decisive battle breaks out. However, Shen Mo's current position is behind the enemy!
At this time, the shopkeeper Zhao Zhengqing continued to say: "This time, the leader of the Western Xia Iron Harrier is an old general in Xixia, named Xifeng Wenhu."
"It is said that this man has been in war for his whole life, and has always been known for his cunning and meticulousness when fighting, and is a very difficult person."
Zhao Zhengqing continued: "In addition, the vanguard of the Western Xia Army was a powerful general named Yeli Canghu. This man was brave and irritable, and he was a cruel and bloodthirsty reckless man."
"When the True Talisman was captured, according to my observation, there were about 10,000 vanguards under Yeli Canghu."
"This wild Li Canghu attacked the city and the ground, and almost no use of the troops behind to attack, and just relied on a forward to fight all the way here."
"Also, it is said that there is another deputy general in the 30,000 Iron Harrier Army, named Li Wanji. This person is a young royal family. I have never heard of any deeds of this person..."
Zhao Zhengqing told him calmly and quickly reported to Shen Mo about the situation he had collected over the past few days.
Shen Mo looked at the map quietly, and then asked someone to take Zhao Zhengqing down and asked him and a dedicated person to contact the troops for supplies.
Then, Shen Mo asked someone to put the sand table in the room, and then asked the guards to call all the children of the Blade Camp and Jiang Yuxin over to inform them of the current situation of the battle.
Then, the people in the room immediately fell into deep thought.
Shen Mo watched coldly from the side, watching the children and Miss Jiang Yuxin.
Among them, Li Muyuan, the squad leader of the Blade Camp, was young, but he was a mature and persistent person. In his usual combat deduction, he was known for his steady and steady action and never made any progress easily.
At this moment, his eyes were wandering around the Shiquan.
Obviously, Li Muyuan wanted to step back and approach his friendly camp. He might not do it well, but he wanted to wait for an opportunity to find a fighter when the Xixia and the Song army were in a stalemate.
Another student of Shen Mo, the deputy squad leader in the Blade Camp, was a boy named Wei Muqing. This guy usually likes to use dangerous moves and move in a different way.
At this moment, Wei Muqing's eyes were actually on the sand table, around Xingyuan Mansion!
Does this kid want to take over the Xingyuan Mansion in one fell swoop when the enemy was advancing and cut off the retreat of the Western Xia Iron Cavalry?
At this time, when Shen Mo looked at Jiang Yuxin, he found that Miss Jiang's eyes were heading west on the sand table, pointing to Zishi Pass at the junction of the Song Dynasty and Tubo!
What a guy, this Miss Jiang has a really big appetite!
When Shen Mo saw Miss Jiang's eyes, he knew that she was turning around to close the door and beat the dog. Could it be that she wanted to leave all the 30,000 Xixia iron kites here?
...
One is bigger than the other, and one is better than the other. These people really dare to think about it! At this time, Shen Mo thought with a smile.
...
"Okay, the battle will be done by others, don't just look at the map!" Shen Mo said to everyone: "As usual, everyone will express their opinions one by one. After discussing and summarizing them, come up with an action plan that is most suitable for the present."
