Chapter 1555: Looting Grain

"Then hurry up, don't forget, the bounties for the heads of the two of us together are more than 10,000 gold, and for these bounties, those county guards will definitely go all out. Ye Shikai teased.

"That's right, we only have five or six thousand troops now, and the garrison of one county has at least thirty or forty thousand people, but they are all scattered in various counties, and it is difficult to assemble them in a short time. Shangguan Jian took out the map and pointed to the route originally planned.

"Lao Ye, originally I wanted to go to Sanchuan County, but we delayed some time, just in case, I want to adjust the route, we will go to Yingchuan County instead, so that we can go directly to Nanyang County, estimated, it should be able to save two or three days. ”

"Yingchuan County, but there are plains there, and there are no mountains to block it, our remnant army, will it be too dangerous. Ye Shikai asked rhetorically, the mountainous area is the best way to cover their march

"Barrier", in a rugged mountain road, the more troops, the more difficult it is to command, and it is difficult to give full play to the superiority in numbers.

"That's right, Yingchuan County is a place of four wars, easy to attack and difficult to defend, but Yingchuan County is not large, and the garrison is only twenty or thirty thousand people, and I have heard of the county guard of Yingchuan County, he is not a bold person, and he can even be said to be a little timid and afraid, and the prestige of our army has already been famous in the Central Plains during the wolf clan war, I expect that he will not dare to intercept us with all his might. Shangguan Jian's analysis was a bit unexpected by Ye Shikai, he didn't expect Shangguan Jian to know so much about several counties near Dongjun.

"Lao Ye, although there is an element of gambling here, but now is an extraordinary period, and extraordinary methods should be used. ”

"Well, I agree with you, besides, the area of Yingchuan County is not large, we can pass quickly, and we can reach Nanyang County in two days. Ye Shikai thought about it for a while, and finally decided to trust Shangguan Jian's judgment and immediately ordered the sergeant to change direction.

In fact, whether it is Dong County, Hanoi County, or Yingchuan County, they are all located in the Central Plains, and there are not many mountainous areas here

"Old Nest". Ye Shikai naturally believed in Shangguan Jian, just as he also believed in Ye Shikai's decision to raise troops to resist Qin, this time, Shangguan Jian's judgment was very accurate, except for the people along the way, Ye Shikai and his party did not encounter the obstruction of the Qin army, and it only took more than a day to arrive in Nanyang County.

Late at night. Because they were in a hurry to leave overnight, the sergeants couldn't camp at night, so they could only find a flat place and sleep directly on the ground, Ye Shikai, as the commander, was naturally very distressed, but the current situation did not allow them to do this, which is why Ye Shikai was so entangled in his heart when he decided to start the army.

If he had not raised an army, these brothers under his command would not only have avoided a bloody battle of life and death, but would not have been seriously injured but difficult to heal as they are now, and they would have eaten and slept in the open air, and always be on guard, when he first started the army, he still had 15,000 brothers in his hands, and in just three days, only a third was left, and nearly 1,000 brothers were seriously injured, so in the future, he could not be sure how many people would survive, perhaps, all of them would die.

If it is such an ending, then Ye Shikai will be very guilty, these brothers gave him their lives, but he chose to take everyone with him

The road to "death". Looking back on the past, Ye Shikai's heart was also shaken, and it was right or wrong to take so many brothers to revolt against Qin.

"Lao Ye, we are in such a hurry, the brothers are too tired. Shangguan Jian walked over and handed over the little wine left, Ye Shikai took a sip and gasped.

"We are now in a safe position to allow the brothers to rest for the night. ”

"Well, additionally...... We don't have much dry food, we only brought five days' rations, and the rest were distributed to the people, but now three days have passed, if there is no supplement, we can't get out of Nanyang County, and we will be hungry. ”

"No, I can't. Ye Shikai hesitated for a while, and suddenly threw the wine jug on the ground excitedly

"We must find a way to get food, and we can just eat and sleep in the open air, if we go hungry again, the army's morale will be shaken. The wavering morale of the army is only one reason, Ye Shikai can't bear to watch these brothers who follow him starving.

"Well, Nanyang County is a big county, the county seat, the village, the population, the number, there must be a lot of hoarding food, let's find a way to get some over. ”

"The Qin army in Nanyang County has a lot of troops, and with our current military strength, it is impossible to attack the county seat, in that case, not only will we not be able to grab food, but we will also put the rest of the people into it. ”

"Then old Ye, do you have any other way. ”

"We can't rob the rebels and robbers, their food is just a drop in the bucket, and we can't rob the people, so we have only one way. ”

"What a way. ”

"Attack the grain convoy of the Qin army. Ye Shikai explained

"You and I used to be the Qin army, naturally know a lot about the grain transport team, generally speaking, the number of a grain transport team is only about five hundred to one thousand, because they generally do not participate in the front-line war, so the grain transport team is basically some old, weak, sick and disabled, we now have a cavalry team, once we succeed, we can use the war horse to carry the load, bring the grain back, our horses are fast, even if the Qin army sent reinforcements, we have already left. "In the past, the wolf clan used the maneuver of the cavalry to repeatedly attack villages and people, and the cavalry team in Ye Shikai's hands was trained after the wolf clan's iron cavalry, and even the war horses were purchased from merchants on the grassland, which were much stronger than the war horses in the Central Plains.

"We don't have much time, once we get the food, we will come back immediately, we will go directly south, non-stop, in addition, we can also set up a team of ambush soldiers to lead the Qin army away. ”

"It's a great plan. ”……………………………………………… Nanyang County.

"Hou Dare first, do you know the nearby terrain? ”

"Commander Xue don't worry, the villain has been here for five or six years, it's not the villain who boasts about Haikou, there is a grass and a tree within a radius of fifty miles here, I can find it even if I close my eyes. ”

"Okay, then you find a route to get to Chu Land in the safest way. Xue San ordered.

"Oh, Commander Xue, please look at these mountains in front of us, this is a route to Nanjun, although the mountain road is rugged, not suitable for walking, but it is the safest route, the Qin army will never chase after us, as long as we pass through these mountains, we will also arrive at Nanjun, where is the land of Chu.
