Chapter 278: Investigative Means

After Luo Ji's raid at dawn, two days passed quietly. These two days were undoubtedly easy for Luo Ji and the others, because the only thing they needed to do was adjust their status, but According to Wang Tong, the general defender of Songshan City, the day was not so good.

Youdao was bitten by a snake once, and he was afraid of the rope for ten years. After being tossed and tossed for a while, he had been frightened for the past two days. At night, he did not dare to relax at all. The strength of the defenders of the city increased to 100 people in one breath, and it was directly in a row. Wang Tong himself could not sleep well, and the soldiers under him also could not sleep well, in various senses...

This tense state continued until the evening of the next day. Watching the reinforcements slowly entering the city, Wang Tong was obviously relieved. After all, the number of troops is the confidence.

This time, Zhou Dongnan directly transferred a thousand troops from Dazhou Wangcheng, and the general responsible for leading the troops was a general who had a good relationship with Wang Tong, so Wang Tong did not speak too much. The scruples of the past, "Grass, why did you arrive now?!"

"Isn't it okay? You don't know how difficult the road behind Songshan City is." Jiang Wei, who brought a thousand reinforcements to Songshan City, showed a trace of exhaustion on his face. The marching for days was not an easy one. matter.

"It was almost an accident!" Thinking of the attack at dawn two days ago, Wang Tong still has lingering fears on his face. In the battle of defending the city, his own heart is also hanging, and he has no confidence at all. In the end, it was abruptly and desperately.

When it comes to this matter, Jiang Wei's expression is also a bit serious, "Tell me, what's going on?"

While speaking, Wang Tong explained the whole thing in detail, and after listening, Jiang Wei's brows wrinkled, "I didn't expect that these outsiders would ignore the 2,000 troops outside Shangyuan City, and directly recruit them. Troops came to attack Matsuyama Castle."

Thinking of this, Jiang Wei thought for a moment, "Haven't the outsiders launched another siege in the past two days?"

"No." When it came to this, Wang Tong's mood was full of complexities. The opponent didn't come to attack the city, which really made him relieved, but on the contrary, he also had the feeling of being played by the opponent as a fool. , after all, he was worried for two days!

"Have you sent scouts out of the city to scout the situation?" Jiang Wei asked again.

"Yes, no trace of the other party has been found near Songshan City. Do you want to report this matter to Your Majesty?"

"Walking the road behind Songshan City, even if it is one person riding a horse and whipping a horse, a one-way trip will take three days, and a round trip will take six to seven days. According to the plan arranged by His Majesty in advance, three days later at noon, On the other side of Shangyuan City, the siege will officially start. I will set off immediately after a day off in Songshan City, so as to form a double-team formation with the 2,000 troops of Shangyuan City, and capture Songhe City in one breath. Can't make it at all."

Having said this, Jiang Wei's voice paused for a while, and after taking a deep breath, he continued, "Also, according to what you said, there is basically no trace of the enemy near Songshan City. In the battle, the opposite side is likely to come over to make a surprise attack, and after the attack failed, they immediately returned to Songhe City..."

"Then what do you say?" Wang Tongqiang, who had been overly nervous for the past two days, and now that he was relaxed, asked in a spirited manner.

"During the rest period of my troops, you should send a reconnaissance team of 100 people to conduct a carpet search near Songshan City! If you can't find the whereabouts of the other party, it means that the other party has really retreated. , I just need to continue to act according to the original plan."

Jiang Wei's words were quite straightforward, but Wang Tong, who heard these words, was silent in his heart. With a hundred people, is that still called a reconnaissance team? That's the vanguard already, okay?

But now, Wang Tong doesn't really matter. Before, he didn't have many troops in the city, and he was worried that if he sent too many people out, they would all be intercepted and killed by the opponent outside, resulting in loss of troops, which was not conducive to his future defense of the city, but now The reinforcements have arrived. Obviously, there is no need to worry about this problem. There are only 100 people. He just wants to quickly arrange things, and then go back to his mansion and sleep well!

Early the next morning, a hundred troops quickly dispersed. Although they were all ordinary soldiers of the garrison, not professionally trained scouts, there were one hundred troops, which was enough for them to be there. A wave of carpet searches was completed around Matsuyama Castle...

"Damn, why did this shit happen to us?" One of the Matsuyama City soldiers in shield and axe equipment was walking on the road with a worried expression. As he walked, he couldn't help but mutter a few words. Another soldier walking beside him had a look of irritability on his face.

"Who told us that it wasn't us who kept the night watch last night? Now that the night watchers are all asleep, doesn't this matter fall to us? Don't be too long-winded, just look for it, and go back when you're done." In the time he spoke, the soldier had already read the whole circle, "Okay, not here, change to another place."

"Wait, haven't you been there yet?"

"Over there?" The soldier who heard this frowned and glanced impatiently in the direction the other soldier pointed, "What's over there? A few trees, a bush, a few stones Are the troops of the aliens hiding in that bush, or on those big trees?"

After speaking, the soldier shook his head speechlessly, then turned around and left, while the other soldier obviously didn't want to wander around in the wild alone, so he quickly followed in two steps.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was approaching evening. In order to bring the investigation results back to Songshan City in time, the soldiers sent out to investigate the situation began to turn back at sunset. When the sun completely went down, the whole field was Silence again, until a strange bird call sounded...

"Gugu! Gugugu..."

The cry with a certain rhythm seemed to send out some kind of signal, and then, under the moonlight, the branches and leaves on a certain tree suddenly trembled strangely, and a figure wearing a leaf camouflage lightly emerged from the tree. He jumped down, and in a bush one or two hundred meters to the left from the big tree, the same figure emerged...

With the guidance of the moonlight, one after another figure rushed in the same direction at the same time, and only after they gathered together did they find that there were more than a dozen people hidden in this area!
