Chapter 536: Crisis
After the young man fled, he had two gods by his side who had not been killed. However, seeing their tragic end, the two chose to commit suicide cleanly. Even the jade dragon sighed. After all, the gods are not easy to cultivate, so they will not hesitate to commit suicide. Either they are very loyal to this young man, or they have something in their hands.
The group cleaned up the underground canyon thoroughly, as long as anyone can look at it and is not taken away by the clear water, they will all take it away, there has been no god for so many years, nothing else, the treasure of genius has accumulated a lot, and in the end, Yulong personally arranged a psychedelic array, they just left here through the teleportation array, in all fairness, this is the only choice as a secret base, the natural cave barrier plus the miasma guard, it is better to set up one or two protective arrays, but this place has been detected by the gods, in order not to
The war in Huzhou has been going on for two months. The armies of both sides have been killing each other. The Northeast Army has been attacking the city for two months in a row. Even Gao Chen, who was so pessimistic, was a little impatient. Letters asking for help have been sent to 12 places in Xiangjiang. The southwest is doing its best to suppress the bandits. The 100,000 troops that Suhu can free up will arrive here, and it will take more than a month at the earliest. Now, the garrison in Gao Chen's hands has been sharply reduced from the original 300,000 to 100,000. All kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, and the fear of war spread throughout Huzhou. If it weren't for the 3,000 Red Tassel soldiers patrolling the city day and night to curb the rumors, I am afraid that someone would have stolen the city gate and fled.
Rao is like this, the rich people in Huzhou City have been running for 7788 years for a long time. Those who remained were either poor or afraid to run away. Gao Chen stood in the tall Huzhou City in full armor, looking out at the distant northeast military camp. In the past two months, although the main offensive cost of the Northeast Army was higher than that of the Huzhou Army, the lineup of the Northeast Army remained unchanged until Gao Chen discovered the clue a month ago.
Every ten days, thousands of recruits are transported to the Northeast barracks, and then the same number of veterans leave the barracks. At this rate of circulation, the Northeast Army should continue to maintain the strength and adequacy of its military resources. Even the conceited Gao Chen had to admire the heroism. The difference between a veteran and a recruit is the difference between heaven and earth. He had never experienced a war like blood. Even 100,000 recruits can't beat 10,000 good soldiers who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time.
The Northeast has a large population and a good base of soldiers. However, the Empire has been restricting the conscription order, which makes the Northeast Dragons not have the right to directly conscript troops within the territory. The recently opened territorial recruitment order is undoubtedly the only chain that binds the tiger. However, the war also came quickly. Although the dragons quickly gathered thousands of recruits, these recruits who had not been on the battlefield were not real soldiers at all. The only way to make them mature is through bloody battles.
Hero Tian is worthy of a generation of martial gods, he has been trained in war, although this consumption is a little bigger, but the speed is absolutely fast, just looking at the soldiers who were still wooden the day before were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood the next day, which made Gao Chen shudder a little.
"Tell the general that the quartermaster has something urgent to report." A messenger quickly ran up to Gao Chen and said, Gao Chen's face tensed, and he quickly walked back to his White Tiger Festival Hall. The quartermaster turned around alone, rubbing his hands together. Gao Chen took off his long sleeves and strode in. The quartermaster quickly lowered his head and stepped forward to salute: "Tell the general that the situation is urgent!"
Gao Chen's face was gloomy, and he said coldly, "Say it~!" The quartermaster shook his head, secretly wiped his cold sweat, and said cautiously: "The grain transportation team did not arrive in time today. His subordinates sent scouts to inspect it. They found that the grain transport team had all been killed, and the grain was gone~" Gao Chen immediately stood up. He put his hand on the table. An invisible force slammed into the quartermaster, and he staggered. The quartermaster quickly straightened up.
"How about the second and third teams?" Gao Chen's eyes flashed with a fierce light, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey. The quartermaster didn't dare to look at Gao Chen at all. Thousands of troops consume huge quantities of food every day. Therefore, three food convoys would resist Gao Chen's camp every ten days to maintain a ten-day transport of hundreds of thousands of troops. Today is the day the grain arrives.
After a long time, the quartermaster returned in a cold sweat: "The second team and the third team have not yet been contacted. There was no news at all!" With a "snap", Gao Chen slammed the heavy table, and the table immediately "clicked", and the quartermaster hurriedly knelt on the ground.
If there is not enough military food, then he will be in danger of food shortages. At this time of year, people are already in a panic. If there was another food crisis, Gao Chen's face would suddenly become even more gloomy. "How many days will the remaining food last?" Chen Gaochang asked the quartermaster with a sigh of relief, having already calculated. The weak said, "Five days at most." ”
"Okay, I see, you go down!" Gao Chen waved his hand, looking tired. The quartermaster quickly retreated. Gao Chen's two pairs of gloomy eyes looked at the Northeast Army in that direction, and said through gritted teeth: "Draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, hero, how did you plan it~!"
In Tiandang Mountain, 50 miles away from Huzhou City, there was originally a group of thieves who claimed to be the king of the mountain, and now this mountain is occupied by a group of black-clothed people of unknown origin. At this time, it was past midnight, and a low rumble was heard on the silent mountain road, and the carriage was carried out of the mountain in an orderly manner.
Next to the convoy are mysterious cavalrymen with black helmets and black armor. These cavalrymen were dressed in strange costumes. They all wore a black streamer on their helmets. The night streamer sparkles and makes the cavalry look cool. If Jade Dragon could see these people, he would definitely recognize them. They were famous black cavalry, like skeleton cavalry.
No one could have imagined that this outstanding private army was completely hidden here. "Marshal~!The mission has been successfully completed~!" A young cavalryman spotted himself and rode in front of a middle-aged man standing on a hill.
The middle-aged man nodded approvingly. A long serpentine convoy on the road down the mountain is entering the mountain. "Good, Yuffie. You did a very good job. The young man did not seem to be arrogant or impetuous. He respectfully gave a black military salute. He shouted, "These are all good teachings from the commander-in-chief." The middle-aged man smiled and pointed to the convoy slowly driving in the night and said, "If you want to break Huzhou's big mouth, you need to take some strong medicine~!"
The young man followed the middle-aged man for a long time, and naturally understood what he meant. He immediately nodded yes, "The commander-in-chief can give orders." The middle-aged man nodded and said a few words slowly. After hearing this, the young man nodded and left.
In the Northeast Military Camp, Long Zhantian was wiping his sword. The guards who followed him all day long with a sharp light in their eyes didn't dare to look at him directly, "Big brother, happy, happy!" Ye Zhiqiu waved a small bamboo tube in his hand and walked in with a red face. The soldiers at the door of the tent quickly stood up straight and returned respectfully: "I saw the general." Ye Zhiqiu smiled and walked in quickly.
The Dragon Man puts his sword back into its sheath. His tall body stood up. Two sharp lights looked at the approaching Ye Zhiqiu in his eyes. Ye Zhiqiu was suddenly stunned. Although he woke up, he looked surprised and said, "Big brother, did you break through?" Hero Day smiled and nodded. Ye Zhiqiu immediately gasped with a "hiss", his face was incredible, Long Zhantian had been studying the dragon's stunt for the past two days, the gun momentum had changed three times, aiming to surpass the three changes, Ye Zhiqiu thought that the eldest brother was relieved of boredom under the stalemate of the war, but he didn't expect to really break through.
Today's Long Zhantian is like a heavenly spear, shrouded in a restrained and irrepressible powerful aura, especially his eyes, when he looks at himself, he seems to see the shadow of the spear in the sky.
The Dragon Hero asked Ye Zhiqiu to sit down and said, "A breakthrough is a breakthrough, but I can't breathe back and forth freely." I'm going in. Second brother, what good news do you have?" Ye Zhiqiu remembered the purpose of his coming here, and quickly handed over the bamboo tube. Dragonair cleverly pulled out a small note with a series of intricate symbols on it. This is the internal code of the Blackguards. Dragonair smiled and patted the table and said, "God really helped me~! I think if the hay is robbed, Gao Chen can hold on for a few days." ”
"Second brother, order all the soldiers to stop attacking the city and slaughter cattle and sheep for three days. The heroist of heroism said that Ye Zhiqiu was shocked at first, but soon understood its merits. He raised his thumb high and said, "Brother, this is a wonderful move. I'll go give orders. ”
Just when Gao Chen was worried about food and grass, the news of the sudden retreat of the Manchurian army came. Just when Gao Chen was still uncertain, the news of the celebration of the entire Manchurian military camp also came. Gao Chen climbed the Huzhou Tower with a gloomy face, and saw the brightly lit Manchurian military camp at a glance. The lights in the camp are on, the laughter of the ploughing fire is everywhere, and the smell of meat really comes.
This taste made the people of Huzhou who were drinking rice soup and eating coarse steamed buns bitter. Gao Chen couldn't even help but send an army to attack the Toothy Battalion, which he hated at this time, but he suffered several tribulations. Now he simply does not dare to take the initiative.
The next day, the Northeast Army still did not attack the city, but continued to eat and drink as usual. However, rumors began to rise in Huzhou City, saying that food was robbed and that the army was already out of food. This rumor was no longer curbed by the 3,000 Red Tassel Army, but quickly spread throughout the Huzhou military camp. The young soldier fidgeted. As the saying goes, they have food in their stomachs and can do things fearlessly. At the moment, they are desperate, but they can't even eat. Gradually, some people began to feel uneasy.
