Chapter 1076 Where Is the Baggage Camp?

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

Pan Yucheng was scratching his head, thinking about what excuse he could use tomorrow to let the army rest for another day?

At this time, the scout outside the tent asked for a meeting.

"Come in!"

The curtain was lifted, and a young and capable man walked in quickly.

"Meet General Pan!"

Pan Yucheng raised his hand and said, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, General!" The scout stood up and said excitedly, "General Pan is indeed as good as a god. We found footprints and horse hoof prints near the hills and dense forests on both sides of the other side of Fenglin Gorge.

There must be an ambush in those hills and dense forests."

Pan Yucheng's eyes shrank slightly, thinking that it was not me who was as good as a god, all of this was anticipated by Ning Chen in advance.

Ning Chen said that since it was an ambush, the number of enemy troops would not be too large, and they should all be cavalry.

Moreover, they did not dare to attack the large army, so their target was the baggage camp, wanting to rob or burn the food and grass.

Pan Yucheng was not worried, because Ning Chen had already used a sand table to drill for him. What should he do in this situation?

You want to take our army's food and grass, right? I'm afraid you have the life to come, but not the life to return... Pan Yucheng thought.

Immediately, he ordered the scouts to invite the generals.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Pan Yucheng led the army through Fenglin Gorge.

In the dense forest, the scouts of Nanyue and Zhang Tianlun secretly kept a close eye on the movements of the army led by Pan Yucheng, and kept sending back the news.

This time, Kang Luo and Zhang Tianlun sent a total of 20,000 cavalry.

Nanyue 10,000, led by Bai Yixian.

Zhang Tianlun sent 10,000 cavalry, led by General Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu, who served in the Weilong Army, later defected to Emperor De.

It was not considered defection. At that time, Emperor De was in power. He just got the appreciation of Emperor De. Later, when Emperor De fled, he followed Emperor De to Xiangzhou.

Pan Yucheng's march was not as fast as the old lady's.

Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu both wanted to turn back.

How could they march like this?

The two of them had been hiding here for more than ten days. There were many snakes, insects, rats and ants in the forest. They suffered a lot and their patience was almost exhausted. The key was that they did not have much food and grass.

Bai Yixian realized that something was wrong.

Ning Chen was always stern and fierce, but this time he was procrastinating, which was not his style at all.

Bai Yixian sent someone to send a message to Kang Luo, asking for his opinion.

But it would take time for Kang Luo to reply.

Zhang Xu came over at this time.

"General Bai, do you think Ning Chen's men discovered our ambush, so they are reluctant to cross Fenglin Gorge?"

Bai Yixian thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be. We hid here ten days ago. At that time, Ning Chen's army was still far away from Fenglin Gorge... Besides, our people had already discovered Ning Chen's scouts yesterday, so they hid early."

Zhang Xu frowned, "Why is Ning Chen's march so slow?"

Bai Yixian shook his head, "I can't guess it for the time being. I have sent a message to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I think there will be a reply soon. Let's wait a little longer!"

"But our food and grass can't last for a few days."

Bai Yixian was about to speak, but saw the scouts running over.

"General, Ning Chen's army is crossing Fenglin Gorge."

Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu looked at each other and felt an inexplicable sense of surprise.

They have waited for so long, and finally they have waited.

Zhang Xu said, "That's great, it's like someone sends a pillow when you are sleepy."

Bai Yixian smiled sinisterly.

He suddenly said, "General Zhang, we have to change our strategy."

"What do you mean?"

Bai Yixian said, "We don't have enough food and grass. Once we attack Ning Chen's baggage camp, we will grab some first... and burn the rest."

Zhang Xu nodded.

Bai Yixian ordered, "Go, keep an eye on Ning Chen's army. Report immediately when the baggage camp appears."

"Yes!"

What Zhang Xu and Bai Yixian didn't expect was that Ning Chen's baggage camp, which transported food and grass, disappeared.

Their scouts kept watching for two days.

The archery camp, infantry camp, cavalry camp, etc. of Ning Chen's army have all passed Fenglin Gorge, and have been marching for two days...but the baggage camp has not appeared yet.

This really confused Zhang Xu and Bai Yixian.

The two of them stared at each other, their faces full of confusion.

It was the first time they had seen such a situation. A 150,000-strong army, people eating and horses chewing...but the food and grass disappeared. Isn't this a ghost?

Does Ning Chen's 150,000 troops not eat?

The scouts came running.

Zhang Xu hurriedly asked: "Have you checked it out? Where is the baggage camp of Ning Chen's army?"

"General, Ning Chen's army marched twenty miles in two days and is now stationed twenty miles away...but no baggage camp has been found."

Zhang Xu was dumbfounded. They marched twenty miles in two days. Did they walk on their hands? An eighty-year-old woman could walk faster than them.

Bai Yixian's brows were furrowed into a river shape. He thought he was very smart and could rescue Kang Xiao from the Ministry of Justice. His wisdom and strategy were indeed not bad.

But he was also full of question marks at this time.

"With an army of 150,000 and no baggage camp, what did they eat?"

The scout answered honestly: "They ate coarse grain cakes and drank water from water bags."

Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched.

Zhang Xu could not help but said angrily, "This is fucking hell. At their marching speed, it will take more than a month to reach Xiangzhou. It is impossible for each of Ning Chen's soldiers to carry a month's worth of food and water, right?

Well, even if they are all camels, they can carry so much food and water, but what about horses? Don't war horses need to eat and drink? "

Bai Yixian frowned, "Explore again, and report any findings immediately."

"Yes!"

The scout galloped away.

Zhang Xu was worried, "Our food and grass can barely last for five days. If we find Ning Chen's baggage camp again, we can only withdraw. "

Bai Yixian was unwilling.

They have been hiding here for more than ten days, suffered a lot, and spent a lot of military supplies and grass, but they didn't even find Ning Chen's baggage camp.

But they can't attack Ning Chen's large army, right?

They dare not kill them, unless they want to die.

The Ning'an army around Ning Chen is a group of tigers. If they don't beat them to death, they will be considered clean.

Bai Yixian said: "If we can't find Ning Chen's baggage camp tomorrow, we can only withdraw. "

Night is falling!

Bai Yixian and Zhang Xu sighed while slapping the mosquitoes that were sucking their blood.

They have become autistic.

There is still no news, it seems that they can only withdraw tomorrow.

The two sighed to the sky, their faces full of unwillingness.

One of them is Kang Luo's confidant, and the other is Emperor De's favorite general. It's embarrassing to go back in disgrace.

Just then, a scout came running, "Reporting to the two generals, Ning Chen's baggage camp has been found."

The eyes of the two brightened up... just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, and a person groping forward in the dark saw the dawn.
