Chapter 305: Breaking the Cauldron (Part I)

"Bastard. Zhang Liang stared angrily at the information in his hand, the always gentle and elegant Mousheng, at this time couldn't help but get angry, in just seven days, the situation took a turn for the worse, after losing a large amount of grain and grass, all the anti-Qin forces had the same idea, they were all collecting food from civilians.

But in the end, except for the Dongjun side because Zhang Liang and others were in charge, it was not too much, and the other forces did not have the foresight of Zhang Liang and others, so that the contradictions were completely stimulated at once, and of course, there was also a secret arrangement of Ye Wuji.

When the civilians resisted, they quietly killed a few soldiers, and the contradictions were immediately aroused, and in order to avenge their comrades, others couldn't think so much.

In fact, it was common to collect food on the spot in the era of cold weapon warfare, especially for long-distance expeditionary armies, and well-disciplined troops would exchange money and the like for food, and not levied a small portion of it for each household to make up for the shortage of military rations.

There is also the policy of going deep into the enemy country and implementing the extermination policy, which was very common in the Warring States Period, for example, if the Qin State wanted to sneak attack the Zhao State, the people encountered by the army along the way must be wiped out, if there is a village on the road, it can only be that the village is unlucky.

Similarly, if the Zhao State wants to sneak attack the Qin State, it is the same.

But it is rare to take away all the food from the commoners, especially under one's own rule, which will have an incalculable impact on the future rule.

But now the various forces can't think about it so far, they are not stupid, and they also understand the disadvantages of doing this, but if they don't do this, they can't get over it now, and what future do they have to think about.

"It's a good plan. After Zhang Liang vented, he regained his composure, but in the face of this situation, even if he racked his brains, he didn't come up with a solution.

Fortunately, the base camp of the farmer is nearby, the east county is deeply infiltrated by the farmer, the farmer and the large and small families in the east county city, Haoqiang, although the friendship between the rich businessmen is not too good, but there is still some friendship, in this difficult moment, relying on the large and small families in the east county, Haoqiang, the support of the rich businessmen, the east county has obtained a certain amount of grain and grass, if you save a little use, you can also support a period of time.

Compared with the rivers of blood in other places, Dongjun is considered peaceful in the world.

"Although we have solved the urgent need now, everyone must know that our food can only last a few days, and if the stalemate continues on the part of the Empire, we may have to surrender. Tian Yan's words made the faces of the people present change, if the food problem is not solved, as Tian Yan said, it is better to surrender.

The fire some time ago, coupled with the propaganda of well-intentioned people, the soldiers of the anti-Qin forces knew that there was no food, and how to fight without food, and in an instant, the morale of the anti-Qin forces almost fell to the bottom.

In particular, the troops of various countries located on the front line, after seeing the food of the Great Qin army, were eager to surrender immediately, and when they drank gruel, the imperial army was white-faced and had some meat porridge from time to time.

What made them even more envious was that the army of the empire had three meals a day.

If it weren't for the strict surveillance of the military justice team, some people would have been deserters, but even under strict surveillance, there are still many deserters who have escaped and quit.

These deserters belong to the kind of people who are fed alone, and the whole family is not hungry, and there is no drag from their families, and those who have families dare not be deserters.

In the military law of this era, the punishment for deserters is very severe, and it will affect the family.

Although the number of deserters was small, it also caused panic among the anti-Qin forces.

Most of the soldiers of the anti-Qin forces are okay to fight a good battle, but once they fight a tough battle, they will not work, after all, most of them were civilians who couldn't survive before, and the escaped labor, and there were also those who pulled Zhuang Ding over.

When the anti-Qin forces first rebelled, because they were well prepared, they attacked the city and pulled out the fortress, and they looked as if they were invincible.

But in the face of the defense line prepared by Ye Wuji, the situation immediately stalemate, that time was the most dangerous moment for the empire, who made the empire seriously insufficient, most of the elite men and horses of the dragon and tiger cavalry were under the command of Bai Qi, resisting the attack of the Xiang clan.

Li Mu and Zhang Han only have a small number of elites, plus a large number of recruits, but now these people have become veterans who are not afraid of death after such a long war.

In particular, Ye Wuji is equipped with a large number of medical personnel, and in the era of cold weapons, more people died under the battlefield than in direct battles.

With these medical personnel, the casualty rate of Daqin's soldiers plummeted, and these wounded soldiers, as soon as they recovered from their injuries, immediately left the ranks of recruits.

Not to mention that in the age of cold weapons, even in the age of modern firearms, there are medical personnel, and the casualties are much less than those without medical personnel.

At that time, Ye Wuji even decided that he would take action in person if necessary, but the result was that he found that the anti-Qin forces were just appearances.

The Xiang clan and Han Xin are not the same on their side, but the Xiang clan is facing Bai Qi, plus most of the elite of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry.

Han Xin was facing Zhang Han, who couldn't shrink out, and the 100,000 land of the peasant family was really powerful, but the siege couldn't give full play to its advantages, plus Han Xin seemed to be taking advantage of the opportunity to attack the city, wanting to build the 100,000 peasant disciples into an iron-blooded army, and the situation was so deadlocked.

In fact, the stalemate between the Empire and the anti-Qin alliance is the result of a tacit premeditation on both sides, and Ye Wuji needs to carry out his plan and use these three places to bring blood to the recruits.

The same anti-Qin forces also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to rectify the army and restore military discipline, and in the plan of Zhang Liang, Tian Yan and others, it was to stalemate for half a year, and after rectifying the army, they would take the empire in one fell swoop.

War has always been a conspiracy, even if Ye Wuji is familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War, what about the thirty-six strategies, the real battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not something he can play.

You have your layout, I have mine.

There are so many anti-Qin forces, only the Xiang clan, the peasant family, and Wang Ben's hundred-battle armor-piercing soldiers are really placed in Ye Wuji's heart, and the remaining forces are just taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Han, Wei, Zhao, Yan, and Qi together are not as good as a Chu State, when Yingzheng destroyed the Six Kingdoms, the main forces of Korea, Wei, and Yan were almost wiped out, and the Hu Dao Knight of Zhao State surrendered to the empire and was incorporated into the Anxi Town Army, because Qi State surrendered, the army was not damaged, but their army had already been dispersed, not to mention, and there was still a part of the water army, which did not play much role on land.

Look at the current military composition of these five countries, civilians, escaped laborers, soldiers from various countries who surrendered before, etc., what combat power these people have combined, if it weren't for the banner of the remnants of the six countries, in fact, there is no big difference with Peng Yue and other bandit forces.

Only the army of the State of Chu can be regarded as a real army, and I have to say that the State of Chu is worthy of being rich in resources, and in the case of being annihilated so many elites, the elites can still form a formed army.

The Xiang clan commanded the three major armies of the Chu State, Tenglong, Shadow Tiger, and Lei Leopard, after this period of stalemate, the three major armies have once again had a prototype, although there is still a gap from the heyday, but it can no longer be underestimated.

"Judging by the current situation in the Empire, they will definitely continue to wait, and once the soldiers mutinied, they could solve us without spending a single soldier. Fan Zeng's face was full of worry, even if he was full of the art of war, but if there was no soldier command, what was the use.

"There is a solution to the food problem. Shao Yu said suddenly.

"What way?" Shao Yu's words made all the eyes of the audience focus on him.

"There's definitely enough food here, there's definitely enough food in the Empire. Shaoyu ordered Yingchuan County, the former capital of South Korea.

"Yes, but to get food there, we have to lay down there. Tian Yan, Zhang Liang and the others' eyes lit up, they didn't think of this method, they only thought about solving the problem of food shortage by themselves.

"But if you want to take it, I'm afraid it's not that easy. Xiaoyaozi said worriedly.

"We have to take it there and only then will we have a chance to win. Shao Yu's finger pressed firmly on the map of Yingchuan County.

"That's just a fight and a lot of strength. ”

"Okay, let the Empire see what we're capable of. After everyone nodded, Tian Yan and Han Xin immediately began to dispatch troops.

At the same time, Xiaoyaozi, Zhang Liang and others also began to act.

With their current grain storage, they can only have a chance by defeating Yingchuan County, and as for Zhang Han and the city guarded by Li Mu, there is not so much food.

And there was no opportunity to mobilize the army to those two sides, and there was not enough food to support the march of the army.

"What a big boldness, do you know what kind of people we are, we are soldiers of the Chu State, and we were ordered to collect grain and grass, and you dare to stop us, you must be the spies of the empire. "A small village in the wilderness, where a team of Chu soldiers is collecting grain and grass.

In the face of this outrageous and unreasonable act, of course, the residents of the village would not agree, but the result of their opposition was the brutal suppression of the soldiers.

As many villagers fell in a pool of blood, the rest of the people did not dare to object, so they could only hide to the side, looking at these Chu troops with grief and indignation.

As for the captain on the side, he smiled lewdly, and walked towards a pretty girl hiding on the side with his hands and teeth and claws, and just as he approached the girl's side and was about to start his move, he heard the screams of his subordinates.

When he turned his head to look, he was shocked to find that all his men had fallen to the ground, and judging from the blood stains on their necks, it was obvious that they would not survive.

In front of him, a young man, holding a strange black long sword, pointed at him coldly.

The team leader was shocked and immediately moved his backstage out, but unfortunately he was greeted by a black light, and then the team leader fell down with his hands on his neck in pain.

After the team leader fell to the ground, the young man moved his hand, the black long sword was stuck behind his back, and he walked to the side coldly, silent.

"Tianming, are you alright? A girl in a red dress cautiously walked to Tianming's side and shouted worriedly.

"I'm fine. "This pair of boys and girls is Tianming and Gao Yue, but Tianming, who has always been cynical and has always had a smile on his face, is full of heaviness at this time.

"Thank you, thank you. The rescued villagers kept kowtowing to Tianming and Gao Yue.

"You're welcome, you'd better get out of here quickly, someone will definitely be coming after these people disappear. Tianming picked up an old man at the front and said with concern.

"Hey, this world, it's just been peaceful for a few years, and it's chaotic, when will it end, when will we have a way to live. The old man looked at the villagers who were still crying, and immediately stepped forward and told them to hurry up and prepare things so that they could escape from here.

"It's a messier world than ever. After leaving such a sentence, the old man left with the villagers,

"Why, why did this happen, is this what Shaoyu, Third Master, and Xiao Gao said for the sake of peace in the world. Tianming suddenly roared, and the ink eyebrows behind him instantly appeared in his hand, and a powerful black sword qi slashed forward.

Bang.

A purple figure appeared in front of the black sword qi, and with a slight slap of his palm forward, the black sword qi was dispersed, "Mother." When Gao Yue saw the comer, she hurriedly shouted.

"This is the first village. Concubine Dongjun Yan nodded at Gao Yue, then walked in front of Tianming and asked.

"I don't remember, so many villages, how can I remember so much. Tianming yelled.

"It's dawning. Gao Yue's eyes were full of worry, since some time ago, Gao Yue felt that Tianming was a little abnormal, Tianming, who had never taken the initiative to kill people before, now made a move to put people to death.

After leaving his hands behind and letting the soldiers run away, Tianming thought that this was the end of the matter, but when Tianming returned to the village again, he found that the village was in ruins.

The angry Tianming suddenly broke out, chased after him, and killed all the hundred soldiers who came to retaliate, and since then, Tianming has not been merciless.

"Do you still want to continue, now that the whole world is like this, how much can you save? Dongjun looked at Tianming and said lightly.

"It's really ridiculous, the empire known as the tyrannical Qin is now peaceful, but the people who overthrew the empire for the sake of peace in the world are bloody. Tianming said and took a deep breath, his face calming back.

The experience of this period of time has made Tianming take off the immaturity of his body and grow a lot, although Dongjun's education is a little cruel, but it has to be said that it is very effective.

At this time, Tianming was no longer the carefree teenager.

"It's just a difference in their positions. Dongjun said lightly.

"I decided to go to Shaoyu, I'm going to stop him. Tianming's gaze suddenly became extremely determined.

"You can't stop him, he is no longer the Shaoyu you know, he is the young master of the Xiang clan, when he was in the forbidden land of the Mo family, he chose the royal road, you should understand. Dongjun said.

"Yes, Tianming, let's go to Xianyang, go to Uncle Nie, don't you want to see Mr. Nie. Gao Yue persuaded on the side.

"I'm not going to give up, I'm going to stop him. Tianming said and walked forward.

"What if he doesn't agree. Dongjun and Gao Yue followed behind Tianming helplessly.

"Then kill him. Tianming said coldly.

"Mother, look at what you've taught. Gao Yue glared at Dongjun dissatisfied, if it wasn't for Dongjun, how could Tianming become like this, and even said the words of killing Shaoyu, although Gao Yue knew that it was angry words.

"Yue'er, you should understand very well, no one can be immune to this situation now, he will be involved in the world sooner or later, if you don't let him grow up now, what will you do in the future, the effectiveness of the Sleeping Spell Seal, with the increase of his strength, is constantly weakening, once he recovers his memory, you should understand what kind of situation he will face, with his previous appearance, can he face this choice. Dongjun sighed and said in a low voice.

"I see. When it came to the Sleeping Spell Seal, Gao Yue could only nod helplessly, if it weren't for Dongjun helping to suppress it, the Sleep Sealing Spell would have lost its effect long ago.

But even so, the effect of the Sleeping Spell Seal is getting weaker and weaker, once Tianming recovers his memory, there must be a settlement between him and Gai Nie, even if Tianming doesn't go to Gai Nie, Gai Nie will definitely look for Tianming.

In the previous state of Tianming, if he knew about Jing Ke's affairs, he would only want to escape from all this, this would definitely not work, the matter between Tianming and Gai Nie must be resolved, otherwise it would be a thorn between them, and it would not be good for Tianming and Gai Nie.
