Chapter 295
The expected enemy appeared in an unexpected and blatant way, which made Han Mo very depressed in his heart, he didn't know if these enemies who came to sneak attack were too stupid or too confident.
"My lord, I'll take someone up and take down two tongues." Xiao Mu suggested to Han Mo in a soft voice: "Grab your tongue and come back, and ask them what they want to do." ”
Han Mo shook his head: "No, they stopped there, their whereabouts are strange, I'm afraid that there are other tricks, we must not act rashly, no matter how they swagger outside, let's keep the food is the most important thing." ”
Xiao Mu nodded and said, "Obey your lordship's orders." ”
Xue Shao had already ordered the archers to bend their bows and arrows, and they were about to shoot arrows when the group of night knights rushed over, and suddenly saw that group of people suddenly stopped in the distance, and couldn't help frowning.
He came to Han Mo's side and said in a low voice, "My lord, I see that these guys have another conspiracy." How can we see the intention of being a thief? ”
Han Mo smiled and said: "Yes, there are always such tricks, but we have thousands of people, even if there are hundreds of riders, we may not be worried, let alone a dozen riders." Everyone keep an eye on it and strengthen their vigilance, they don't dare to come closer. You see where they stopped, it was out of our range, and they were naturally afraid of our bows and arrows. ”
Miao Wu said softly: "My lord, are they just here to listen to our reality? There won't be a large number of men waiting to attack us, will it? ”
Xiao Mu shook his head and said: "It is possible to listen to our truth, but if it is said that a large number of people want to come over and rob the grain, it is not very likely." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Miao Wu asked.
"In our Yan country, there are naturally those bandits who are wandering around, but the number is not large, and it can't become any climate, that is, as soon as the officers and soldiers arrive, they will disperse like a monkey, and they are still deeply afraid of the imperial court. Even if those ordinary bandits have this mind, they don't have the courage, let alone the strength to do it against the convoy. Xiao Mu said slowly.
"Will there be a lot of mountains working together?" Xue Shao frowned and said: "I also know, in our Yan country, although those bandits have not become a climate, but there are many mountains, and they are all somewhat connected, it is said that many mountains also call each other 'brother mountain'." Although the number of people on each hill is small, it is also easier to escape, and when the news of the encirclement and suppression of local officers and soldiers is heard, they will flee in smoke, and it is difficult to find it...... Will they collude this time and gather people to grab food? ”
Xiao Mu shook his head and said: "Those guys always claim to be chivalrous, talking about righteousness and rules...... This batch of food is transported to the disaster area for disaster relief, if they join forces to move the disaster food, it will violate their own professed benevolence, even if there are a few young people, but most people disdain to do so......! He glanced at Han Mo and saw that Han Mo was listening carefully, so he continued: "My lord, those bandits are also a rabble, if they want to rob food, they must organize a team of at least a few thousand people, that is to say, at least dozens of mountains must be involved...... Therefore, for the sake of their own survival, they did not dare to provoke the imperial court, because they had absolutely no ability or courage to move the food! ”
Han Mo nodded and said, "What you said is right, those scattered bandits in our Yan Kingdom should not have the guts or ability to do this...... Think, who would have the audacity to attack us? ”
Xiao Mu and Miao Wu glanced at each other and did not speak for a while.
In fact, there are some words, although everyone knows them, but it is always difficult to say them directly.
In the land of Yan Kingdom, only a few major families can organize large-scale manpower to attack the convoy, and those families who want to deal with the Han family must have the intention to make a fuss in the convoy.
Gushui Town is the territory of the Xiao family, and it has the ability to attack the convoy head-on, so it can only be the Xiao family.
However, everyone understands better that no matter how stupid the Xiao family is, it is impossible to organize people to attack the convoy in their own territory, after all, this Yan country still has a dark intelligence agency like Donghua Hall, if the Xiao family does not have a strict plan that there are no gaps, it is impossible for the Xiao family to attack the convoy and leave themselves with the handle of being hit.
Although the Xiao family is powerful, if they really dare to blatantly attack the convoy to deal with Han Mo, then the Xiao family will also fall into an extremely dangerous situation.
Therefore, if someone wants to attack the convoy, they will definitely not attack head-on, only the possibility is to burn the grain, or prevent Han Mo from transporting the grain to Xichun County in time, no matter which plan is successful, it can bring disaster to Han Mo, thus affecting the safety of the Han family.
That is, if someone really secretly attacked the convoy, then their purpose would only be twofold.
First, it is natural that the strike convoy will cause a dilemma to Han Mo, thus implicating the Han family, and this purpose can only be seen by the family within the Yan Kingdom. Another reason is that if you want to delay or even burn the convoy, and the relief food cannot arrive, then the situation in Yichun will be more severe and will fall into a more chaotic situation, which is the situation that other countries want to see.
Therefore, the convoy seems to be heavily guarded, but in fact, the hidden danger is not small.
Han Mo still couldn't figure out whether the emperor handed over this task to himself because he really admired himself and wanted to use it to train himself, or because of other ulterior motives.
……
"I think it's a spy for an enemy country." Xue Shao groaned slightly, and finally said, "They must be trying to prevent us from reaching Yichun County smoothly, so they set up a trick on the road. I look at these dozen people, just trying to disturb our minds...... They deliberately revealed their whereabouts in order to make us worry and drain our energy ...... along the way! ”
Han Mo smiled and nodded, "Captain Xue Hu's words are very reasonable, and I think this is also the case. "At this time, I was in the military formation, so I didn't call him a brother to show the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, Han Mo really hoped that this was a group of enemy spies, he really didn't want to see Yan Guo under this kind of disaster, and there were people who wanted to ignore the Yichun disaster victims in order to deal with him, if that was the case, Yan Guo would also quickly walk on the road to ruin.
"Look, my lord!" Miao Wu said in a deep voice: "They're moving!" ”
Han Mo frowned, and sure enough, he saw that the dozen or so horsemen pulled away left and right, from one team to two teams, and fanned to the direction of the head and tail of the convoy, and in the silent night, the wind carried the neighing of horses.
"Stay in formation!" Han Mo said in a deep voice: "If the enemy approaches, shoot immediately...... Without my order, you can't attack, and protecting food is the most important. ”
"Yes!" The three lieutenants immediately dispersed and ordered their subordinates to be on full alert.
The two groups of knights were not close to the convoy, far from the range of bows and arrows, but only circled outside, as if they were observing the situation of the whole convoy, and as if they were really just harassing the convoy and disturbing the minds of the soldiers.
Han Mo's expression was indifferent, he just looked at those cavalry from a distance, and the clouds were light and light.
Those cavalrymen were really fearless, and seemed to be vigorous on the horses they sat on, not afraid of pursuit, and seemed to treat the convoy as if they were little daughters-in-law, and they were flirting back and forth.
A smile appeared at the corner of Han Mo's mouth, he came to the formation, borrowed the three-stone hard bow from Xue Shao's hand, took two arrows, and turned over a horse.
"Your Excellency, are you?" Xiao Mu was a little puzzled.
"Practice your hands!" Han Mo smiled and said, "You must not act rashly...... When he had finished speaking, he raised his bow and patted his horse, and the horse flew like a fly, and rushed towards the horsemen in front of the convoy.
Xue Shao saw it clearly, was a little surprised, and shouted in a low voice: "Brother Han......!" ”
Han Mo's men and horses were united, and he rushed in the direction of the cavalry like a whirlwind, only sprinting for a while, and getting much closer to those cavalry.
When those cavalrymen saw someone rushing over, they were about to retreat, but when they saw that Han Mo was just riding over, they were relieved, and several horses were separated in a fan shape, all waving the sabers in their hands.
Han Mo didn't say a word, the horse stopped, bent the bow and set up the arrow, pulled the string, shot the arrow, the arrow out, all in one go, without a trace of mud and water, he was a three-stone hard bow, and the arrow shot was fast and urgent, like a shadowless meteor in the dark night, piercing the air, piercing the cold wind, and with a "whoosh" sound, it actually shot straight in front of a knight, the knight couldn't imagine that Han Mo was actually a single horse to shoot an arrow, and the distance was still far away, but the arrow could still be shot quietly, and when he reacted, the arrow "poof" It was already shot to his shoulder, and it was so powerful that the knight was shot by an arrow, and he turned over and fell off his horse.
Fortunately, although the degree and strength of Han Mo's archery skills are extremely strong, he still lacks the accuracy, otherwise as long as the accuracy is on the road, this arrow will pierce his neck, and he will not be blinded when he dies.
As soon as he landed, his companions exclaimed, and immediately someone rushed over and picked him up, patted his horse and shouted, "Retreat!" The knights immediately retreated, and even blew a low, crisp flute, apparently to inform their companions at the end of the convoy to retreat, and disappeared without a trace of smoke.
Han Mochi stepped forward immediately, and actually brought the owner's injured horse back into the formation, and Xue Shao had already stepped forward, surprised and delighted.
"I don't know what they're trying to do." Han Mo smiled and said: "But this horse can be sent upside down, these people are also particular, look at my team, this visit fee is a good horse!" ”
Xue Shao laughed and said, "Brother Han, you have good skills, you can make me admire more and more with one arrow." ”
Miao Wu also rode over and said, "My lord, the enemy behind the convoy has also retreated. As soon as Xue Shao said what had just happened, Miao Wu exclaimed: "My lord is really brave!" ”
"Just let them weigh their own weight." Han Mo smiled, quickly frowned, squinted his eyes and said, "Something is wrong, they pretend to be ghosts for a long time, can this arrow really scare them away?" Who are they and what the hell are they going to do? ”
Xue Shao said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that they won't get better so soon, they will definitely come out." If you want to come over again, I'll go with the adults and kill a few more of them. ”
Han Mo groaned and muttered to himself, "The military advisor said that it is very likely that they will only appear when they change guards...... They seem to have arrived too early to see that they have any elaborate plans...... What's the use of just coming here to harass us, we have thousands of ......! He turned over and dismounted, returned the hard bow in his hand to Xue Shao, and sat down by a grain cart, frowning and thinking about something.
When things go unusual, there must be demons!
"Since it appears, it won't just be bright and majestic, those guys always have some purpose...... Han Mo thought in his heart: "The ultimate goal is nothing more than to think about food...... He pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Xue Shao: "Captain Xue, in your opinion, if the enemy wants to set fire to the grain, what is the best time?" ”
"Wait until everyone is asleep......!" Xue Shao said slowly: "But we are sleeping and keeping our eyes open, they will not have a chance, unless...... Well, it's time to change guards! ”
"Changing guards?" Han Mo stared at Xue Shao, Xue Shao's thoughts coincided with Xiao Lingzhi's, and asked, "Why does Captain Xue see it like this?" ”
"When you change guards, although you are orderly, you always have to be negligent...... Everyone's eyes just left the food, that was the only chance ......! Xue Shao stroked his beard and thoughtfully: "Although it may not be successful, it is better than coming over at this time...... There was no chance to even get close to the grain truck...... You see, didn't those rats even get into our team, and they were shot away by Brother Han? ”
"And what if you don't change your guard?"
"Brother Han, that's not good." Xue Shao said with a smile, he only thought that Han Mo had not been in the army for a long time, so he didn't understand some rules, and explained: "This cadre brother is also tired for a day, and there are still several days to go, so he always has to recuperate, otherwise if he keeps going, his mental and physical strength will not be able to keep up, and it will affect the degree of ...... to hurry!" Leaned over and said in a low voice: "What's more, this army management is about treating everyone equally, fairness first, that half of resting, this half of endlessly, even if you obey the military order, but everyone is always uncomfortable." After all, they are all flesh and blood, this mind...... Hey, hey, it's all there! ”
Han Mo seemed to understand something, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That is to say, as long as you understand the market, you must know that we are going to change our guard at night?" ”
Xue Shao nodded and said, "After a long journey, this rotation rest is inevitable......!" ”
Han Mo's eyes lit up, he seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "I see, it's ......!" Asked Miao Wudao: "Miao Shen Ling, we should always have an independent set of passwords...... ”
