Chapter 1277: Siege Again

Nangong Ao sat in the big tent, his brows were tightly locked, and he seemed to have infinite thoughts, he told the soldiers before, when the 40,000 female captives were rescued, these soldiers who were known as the strongest soldiers in the empire all looked like they were boiled up, are women so important to them?

Fortunately, he dealt with it in time and killed several troublesome generals, otherwise there might have been a mutiny.

And in the past few days, the military spirit has finally stabilized.

But Nangong Ao had to worry that there was no more food and grass in the barracks, and the birds and beasts in this forest were almost killed and eaten up by the soldiers.

This mutiny is bound to happen sooner or later.

Just when Nangong Ao was sad for a while, the guards walked in from the big tent, hugged their fists and said, "Marshal, General Gu Qilin, the guard of Lianhua Town, asks to see you." ”

"Lianhua Town?" Nangong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his head, this Lianhua Town is an important place to store grain and grass in the rear, why did this guard suddenly come? Hurriedly said, "Let him in." ”

"Yes."

After the guards went out, Gu Qilin walked in quickly, knelt on the ground and said, "The last general, Gu Qilin, meet the marshal." ”

Nangong Ao looked at Gu Qilin coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "General Gu, you are not guarding the grain and grass in Lianhua Town, why did you come here to me?" ”

Gu Qilin hurriedly said: "Marshal, the last general has sealed the order of General Dudu, and led 50,000 horses to escort grain and grass to the marshal's camp. ”

"Grain and grass? Are you talking about the delivery of grain and grass? Nangong stood up excitedly, a little incredulous, he was worried about food and grass. This grain and grass were actually delivered.

"Yes." Gu Qilin nodded, but the corners of his mouth were marked with a trace of bitterness. continued: "But marshal, the grain and grass are only enough for the army for half a month......"

"What does that mean?" Nangong Ao was stunned for a moment. He snorted coldly: "Lianhua Town, but our army has been hoarding grain and grass for two years, why is it only half a month?" ”

Nangong Ao didn't think that General Dudu didn't know that their 400,000 people were waiting for a large amount of grain and grass, and they would not only send half a month's worth of grain and grass, so it also meant that something happened during this period, and General Dudu had no choice but to escort this bit of grain and grass.

"The marshal spares his life, and the general deserves death." Gu Qilin lay on the ground, not daring to look up at Nangong Ao, "The last general will lead 30,000 defenders to guard Lianhua Town. But it was attacked by Lin Tian, and as a result, all 30,000 soldiers were sacrificed, and the grain and grass in Lianhua Town were set on fire by Lin Tian....... fortunately, General Dudu arrived in time and grabbed part of the grain and grass, and General Dudu ordered me to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass to ......"

After listening to Gu Qilin's words, the anger in Nangong Ao's heart gradually calmed down, he had already expected that Lin Tian would attack Lianhua Town, and he also sent General Dudu to aid Lianhua Town, but it was a pity. It's still a step too late.

But fortunately, General Dudu still sent the grain and grass for half a month, otherwise, the 400,000 troops here would be in chaos. There will even be a mutiny!

"Get up, Ben Shuai forgives you for your innocence." Nangong Ao said lightly.

"Thank you, Marshal." Guchlin then stood up from the ground, but kept his head down. I didn't dare to make eye contact with Nangong Ao.

"Where has General Dudu gone now?" Nangong Ao asked again.

"General Dudu ordered the last general to escort grain and grass, and he led an army of 150,000 to hunt down Lin Tian." Gu Qilin said: "Presumably, it will bear fruit again in the past few days. ”

Nangong nodded approvingly. General Dudu also has the cultivation of the third layer of the Jindan period, and he has a good command of the army. On the battlefield, he is even more experienced in a hundred battles, presumably no matter how powerful Lin Tian is, he is not the opponent of General Dudu.

However, Nangong Ao couldn't help but be prepared, if Lin Tianzhen also wiped out General Dudu, then their 400,000 army would have no follow-up supply of food and grass.

So, you have to plan ahead.

"Someone." Nangong Ao shouted outside the tent.

"Marshal, what are your orders?" One of the guards immediately walked in.

"Go and ask the generals of each battalion to come to my military tent to discuss matters." Nangong Ao said.

"Yes."

After a while, all the generals of each battalion were gathered in Nangong Ao's Chinese army tent, and everyone's faces were full of doubts and puzzles, it had been so many days, and this was the first time that the marshal had come to them to discuss matters.

"Do you know why I asked you to come to the tent?" Nangong Ao glanced at all the generals present and asked coldly.

All the generals shook their heads in unison, who knows what to do with them at this time? If they weren't talking about food and grass, they wouldn't bother to pay attention to other things.

When marching and fighting, the most important thing is grain and grass, without food and grass, everything else is nonsense.

"I'm here to talk about the next march." Nangong Ao said: "I plan to attack the city again, this time it must be ......"

"Marshal." Before Nangong Ao's words were finished, General Gong Brigade shouted impatiently, the other generals were somewhat afraid of Nangong Ao's majesty, but Gong Brigade was a rough man, straightforward and fast-talking, and he was the kind of person who would say what he had to say, "Our soldiers' stomachs can't be filled, how can they have the heart to fight?" ”

"That is, if you want us to go to war, you must first give us food and grass."

"My soldiers haven't eaten for days.......

"Marshal, you should go out and take a look, the bark of the tree has been plucked and gnawed by us......"

The other generals immediately chimed in, complaining incessantly......

"Silence." Nangong Ao let out a low sigh, and immediately quieted down, and continued: "The old man asked you to discuss military affairs, so naturally you have prepared food and grass...... General Gu, tell me about it. ”

"Yes." Gu Qilin nodded and said, "The last general has been ordered by General Dudu to escort grain and grass to the camp, and the generals can rest assured that they will definitely be able to eat enough tonight." ”

Everyone immediately became happy, no wonder the marshal was so calm and composed, it turned out that everything was in his expectation.

"Marshal, since we have food and grass, our soldiers have enough to eat, and naturally have the strength to fight." Gong Lu said with a smile: "What are we going to do next?" ”

Nangong said with a smile: "Of course it is an attack....... it is not a secret, the grain and grass sent by General Dudu is only enough for our army for half a month, if we sit and wait for death, after half a month, we will fall into the current situation again, so I decided to attack the city again, and we must take Nanxia Pass." ”

Everyone suddenly quieted down, it turned out that this was the case, this grain and grass was not very abundant, only half a month's use, if they continued to consume it and did not break through the enemy's city, they would really starve to death here. (To be continued......)
