Chapter 23 Lure the enemy

Mochen received a task very simple, but it was also very dangerous, that was, their team came to escort food and grass. Because after more than a month of encirclement and suppression, although the official army had suffered many casualties and the bandits were hiding in the mountains, after such a long period of encirclement and suppression, the bandits would definitely be short of food.

Like soldiers, bandits are just consumed and cannot produce. The road to the mountain has been blocked by officers and soldiers. As long as bandits come out of the mountain, they will definitely not be able to escape the attention of the officers and soldiers. Moreover, this is a mountain and there are no villages nearby for them to loot, so the grain transport team will definitely be their target, but the number of grain transport teams should not be large.

The last time Ma Hu's grain transport team was worried that the bandits would rob, so they brought so many soldiers. There were more than 100 soldiers alone, almost 200 people, and then there were 200 transporters, and they were all young men and many strong. Therefore, even if the bandits knew the whereabouts of this grain transport team, they did not dare to act rashly.

For this mission, Mochen was very cautious. He went to other camps to inquire about some of the situations of these bandits. After his indirect attacks, he learned about some useful situations of the bandits from the old soldiers.

At this time, there were only a few hundred bandits. The reason why the officers and soldiers could not do anything to them was not how powerful they were, but because the bandits were familiar with the terrain and were even more huddled in the mountains and forests and would never take the initiative to fight.

When the army entered the mountain, there was no one in a few days. If a small number of soldiers entered, the soldiers would find that the bandits who could not see the figure were like dog skin plasters, sticking to them. What's more, the bandits like to ambush them with bows and arrows.

The soldiers rushed up, and the bandits ran away. The soldiers retreated. The bandits chased behind and fired cold arrows. After a while, the soldiers were killed and injured, and in the end the soldiers were afraid of entering the mountain.

The mission was at night, and quietly left the camp and headed to a small hill thirty miles away, where they prepared food. Their mission was to transport the food back.

Mochen was very suspicious that they were so relieved to put the food so far away? But the task had to be carried out.

Thirty wooden carts were parked in front of their camp at this time. Mochen knew that these were their means of transportation for transporting grain. Mochen, who was used to car trains, looked at the rows of wooden carts neatly placed there, and he was puzzled and laughed. These wooden carts were worse than those of Ma Hu. He felt that he could kick these simple wooden carts apart with just one kick.

This operation is so bad! Their team attracts the attacks of bandits, and then there is an ambush ready to support at any time. Of course, in order to prevent being discovered by bandits as a trap, the ambush must stay away from the grain transport team, but it cannot be sunny, as long as the bandits cannot find it.

But what made Mochen worried was that this ambush was actually the tent where Ma Biao and Ma Biao were. Yes, Ma Biao was already the captain, and their tent became formal soldiers. However, like them, Ma Biao and the others were not registered in the roster. Now they are just filling in the vacancies of the soldiers who died in battle and filling in the mistakes of the generals this time.

"No, you can't put your hope on this reinforcement." Mochen knew about reinforcements and could not count too much. Not to mention that Ma Biao had a marriage with them, he didn't know who the big man behind him was, and he didn't know whether the reinforcements would fall out at critical moments. There was also some distance between the two teams, and the task was to speed up as fast as possible, at least half an hour. Within rush to the battlefield to participate in the battle and encircle and annihilate the bandits. In other words, one of them must last for half an hour.

"Erniu, Fat Tiger, Monkey, you three come here." Mochen shouted to Erniu and the three. It was still half a day before dark, so he had to make more preparations in case of emergency. After all, he was not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of anything.

"Brother, come to me!" The three of them answered at the same time, very tacit understanding.

Erniu and Fat Hu couldn't help looking at each other when they heard the same thing as they said, glaring at each other, then snorting coldly, then turning their heads, speeding up their pace, and running towards Mochen with a flattering smile on their faces. The armor on their bodies roared as they ran.

The monkey ran behind the two, looking at the two stout men like children, helpless and looked contemptuous. In order to please the elder brother, did he run so fast? Then he rushed over Erniu and Fat Tiger in an instant, and came to Mochen with a smile on his face, "Brother, I'm here, I'm leaving me with anything to do, and I'll guarantee it's done."

Erniu and Fat Hu followed closely and Erniu hurriedly said, "Brother, I'll come, I'll come, if you have any trouble, let Laoniu come."

"What do you think you are? I'm the most suitable one. If you have something to do, please make sure you complete it." Fat Tiger was not willing to fall behind.

"I'll do it."

"I'll do it."

"I'll do it."

Mochen was speechless for a moment. He didn't even know what they wanted to do, so he rushed to do it first. It was enough to argue about not knowing what.

"Okay, you all have a share, don't argue anymore." Mochen quickly made a sound to stop them from continuing to argue. He was very suspicious that they would continue to argue, and it was very likely that they would fight.

When Erniu and the other three heard this, they immediately calmed down. They just wanted to glar at each other, then looked at Mochen quietly, waiting for Mochen to speak.

Mochen looked suspicious and said, "You three took you to cut down trees and make thirty large wooden boards. Each wooden board is two meters in size, and your thick fists are so thick. Then find something to stay behind to stay. Can you do it before dark?"

"No problem, please make sure to complete it on time." After hearing this, the three of them patted their chests and promised. As they said, the three of them hurriedly took people to cut down the tree. When they saw Mochen's expression, they knew the importance of this matter. They dared not delay it, but they still knew the purpose of this wooden board. There is another name for the wooden board, that is, the wooden shield.

The three of them did not disappoint Mochen. Before the sky was dark, the three of them had already completed thirty wooden shields. Looking at the wooden shields that were made, Mochen felt a little relieved. It was not easy to make these thirty wooden shields for so long. There were no tools here. They only used weapons in their hands, but those swords could be used to cut trees! And they had to connect them. The only easy tool was Erniu's two big axes, so Erniu was doing the cutting trees and cutting edges, while others were doing other things. Now the wooden shields were made. Although they looked a little ugly, their defense was still good.

After dinner, Mochen quietly left the camp with a hundred people. Because the one hundred people were trying to lure bandits to attack, there were sixty people. They were wearing their former clothes and covering their armor. The weapons were hidden under the wooden cart, and the wooden shield was also placed on the cart.

Shortly after they left, a hundred-man army quietly left the camp and followed Mochen's direction.

After a rushing march, when I was in the morning, I rushed to the target location.
Chapter completed!
