499 Nothing to worry about
General Du's worry is because although he now has more than 6,000 soldiers, the convoy of baggage horses that accompany the team and provide support for so many of them has also grown, and they have to allocate troops to take care of them, that is to say, even if he adds those who are Guzhong, there are actually less than 5,000 people who can be put into battle. The team www.biquge.info of General Du can only be regarded as a small army, but Gu Zheng has sent more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, which shows how determined Gu Zheng is to destroy General Du.
"They should still be afraid of us, otherwise how could they send so many people at one time, and they dare not approach, only dare to block our road?"
Hearing Ruyi's triumphant comment, everyone could only smile helplessly, and no one responded. I have long been accustomed to the style of Ruyi, and at this time I don't have the time to care about whether I am afraid or not, no matter how afraid they are, they will still come. General Du's worries have not disappeared or alleviated, can such a grim situation be avoided?
Seeing that no one understood her thoughts, he expressed support for her, and unhappily landed on a military map surrounded by a dozen people.
"Why are you all stupid? Since they are afraid of us, then let's make them more afraid, won't this battle be easy to fight? Is it already very cold now? Yuanbao's body is warm, Bimang and I don't feel much, Yuanbao doesn't even wear soldiers' cotton clothes, Yuanbao shouldn't feel cold, general, our cotton clothes are not enough, we can't let our soldiers get cold!"
Every time it is like this, the originally serious military meeting, as long as it is as you wish, unconsciously takes the topic to another place. Does Ruyi want to use this method to relieve the pressure in everyone's hearts? I have to admit that Ruyi succeeded, and she successfully diverted everyone's attention.
General Du looked outside, it was getting colder and colder day by day, and it was also the season when it should be cold, and the other thing was that they had been walking towards the cold place in the north. Breaking away from the Five Elements Divine Cult also cut off the supply of military supplies that would have existed in the past. General Du was worried, and Lao Ge, who was in charge of the supplies, told him early in the morning that there were many extra supplies on many carriages overnight, not only food and weapons, but also cotton clothes for the soldiers who were needed for the winter.
General Du accepted it calmly without hesitation, and he couldn't think of anyone else except Ruyi. Something similar had happened a few times, and there was something missing in the ranks, and there was no time to go to town to buy them, and some would appear in the carriage at night. Every time a battle is won, each soldier will receive some meat, sometimes salted meat, sometimes fresh meat that has not spoiled at all due to time.
Yuanbao has not yet had winter, but there is no winter in the valley of Youlan Mountain. General Du sent Yuan Bao cotton clothes, but Yuan Bao refused, saying that he had not felt cold yet. It's not that ingots don't have a sense of warmth and cold, but that ingots have a better way than cotton clothes, and cotton clothes can be left to people who need them more, he and Sister Ruyi, and Bimang are enough as long as he has soul power.
Yuanbao's soul power is now more superb, even if it is not deliberately controlled, when the outside temperature drops, it will automatically appear on the surface of Yuanbao's body, and that layer of soul power can resist the wind and cold and also play a role in heat preservation. Ruyi doesn't care about the wind and cold, she has heavenly fire, not only can she have endless fire in her body, but she can also wear a beautiful fire clothes.
Other soldiers will shrink their hands and feet because of the cold and freezing at night, only Yuanbao and Ruyi are still in good spirits, General Du can't understand it, so he can only sigh and no longer be entangled in the problem of Yuanbao wintering. Why did Ruyi suddenly think of cotton clothes today, General Du guessed that he must have thought of a good plan again, and his eyebrows stretched a little because Ruyi diverted the topic.
"Sister Ruyi, we are discussing the military plan, you are too far off topic, the soldiers have changed into cotton clothes, and there is no shortage of food, this year will be the best winter for me to lead the soldiers for so many years!"
"That's good, it's so hard to be a soldier, of course you can't let them starve and freeze anymore, I want to tell you, those enemies of ours, they are not only afraid of us, but also afraid of starvation and cold, I see that many of those soldiers are not wearing cotton clothes, if they have no tents to live in, no food, no warm cotton clothes to wear, their hearts will be chaotic, how can they fight this battle?
Ruyi walked back and forth calmly as he spread on the map, so satisfied with what he said, the steps became bigger and bigger, the little head became higher and higher, and the two small wings were raised, as if he was ready to learn the movement of the earth storm bear pinching his waist.
"Bi Mang said that he walked like a general like this, do you think I look like me?"
Ruyi gags like this, and the anger in the military tent suddenly becomes more relaxed, and the vague tension before can't be felt. General Du looked at Ruyi's funny appearance with a smile and a smile.
"Sister Ruyi, Sister Bimang is joking with you, I haven't walked like you, be careful of falling down for a while, do you still want to talk about how we should fight this battle?"
Ruyi was still listening to Bi Mang explain what to do to have the general's style, General Du's words made her feel very shocked, her steps were too big, and she was said to fall on the map without paying attention. Tilting his head and finding that his body was pressed by the previous General Du pointed out that the enemy who came to attack was divided into three places, in the middle of the blockade line, and it was also the position with the largest number of troops stationed, so he didn't bother to get up if he simply fell there.
"You can start a war from here, don't worry, I see those people they are carrying more carriages than us, and there must be more things on the carriages than us, yes, Bimang said that this is to consume with us, fight a protracted war, we also have to prepare well, go slow these days, if you can't go for two days a day, take these two days to rest, eat enough, dress warmly, and start a war after three days, and you can defeat them in one go!"
Why did the war start three days later, not two days later, not four days later? Ruyi was so sure that everyone present looked at each other inquiringly. Seeing their big-eyed and confused expressions, the ingots were all in it, and Ruyi laughed happily.
"Sister just said casually, three days should be enough to prepare, three days is about the same time, if you are starved for three days, plus you are scared and nervous, who will be in the mood to fight?"
"I just said that I have eaten enough for the past two days, why do I want to go without food for three days? Sister Ruyi, I will have no strength if I don't eat for a day, let alone three days!"
Niu Dazhuang thought that discussing the war with Ruyi was easier than discussing countermeasures with the general, and jokingly decided what seemed to be a very important matter.
"Okay, then it's set in three days, and my sister will work hard today to see which one is so bold that he dares to stand in my way!"
This is the tone of war, and Niu Dazhuang bends down to approach Ruyi. "Sister Ruyi, what are you going to do, do you want a helper?"
"How can my sister not help her? Niu Dazhuang, you find a few people to prepare more firewood, and wait for my sister to come back and cook meat for you to eat, of course, there must be meat in that place first, if the people in that place eat grass instead of meat, you can't blame my sister for lying to you!"
Not eating meat but eating grass, the dozen or so people in the military tent didn't know what to think, and they all laughed so happily.
"Yuanbao, you have to go with your sister, otherwise your sister will be scared if she goes by herself, let's go, go and come back quickly, don't delay eating meat at night!"
Ruyi flew up and left the map and got into the arms of the ingot. General Du's gaze lifted from the map.
"Sister Ruyi, how should this battle be fought, how should our troops be arranged, you haven't said yet, the wind and thunder are running fast, I don't care about this moment!"
Ruyi twisted his little head. "Didn't you say it? Didn't you say that the war would start in three days? What else is there to bother arranging for such a good battle? We don't want to ambush us, they divide the troops into three places, which means that the three roads that we may take are blocked, as long as one place finds that we are going to pass, the soldiers in the other two places will all rush over to support, and surround us in front and rear, they think it is beautiful!"
Ruyi looked at the map with confirmation. "I've seen it a long time ago, there should be more people in the middle of their three places, their biggest official, the big general may be there, all under his command, although there are a lot of soldiers in the two places next to them, just to be able to run faster, Bimang, sister is not wrong, right?"
Ruyi suddenly got his little head into the ingot's clothes and asked, in fact, he was listening to Bimang's face-to-face teaching, and he raised his head after a while.
"It's really troublesome, the sister then told them that in order to run fast, the people on both sides found that we could sneak attack us in the shortest time in the future, because there were very few wagons around them to pull grain, and the soldiers in the three places ate behind those in the middle and watched, if the things on so many carriages in the middle place were lost all at once, do you think they would panic and never have the heart to fight again?"
Ruyi's plan everyone understood this time, and they also knew that Ruyi was going to rob again, according to Ruyi, as long as the opponent lost his fighting spirit because of hunger, there was really nothing to worry about in this battle.
"Three days later, we don't have to send a lot of people over, let the three captains lead the three teams to take the lead, and at the same time impact their three places where the soldiers are stationed, we also act at night, I follow a team of soldiers, Yuan Bao follows a team of soldiers, and the other team of soldiers is handed over to Bimang, it doesn't matter if you can't find Bimang, my sister promises that as long as there are spies on the way, he will not come back, and never let them find us in advance, send our information back to their general, you will also hear Bimang's voice, and our three teams will also promise to stir up the three places of them and not be at peace!”
