It is actually correct to say that the 600,000 soldiers and horses attacking Youzhou this time are the garrisons of Chang'an and Luoyang, but it is not all, a large part of the 200,000 soldiers and horses around Emperor Yang of Sui are recruited by Chang'an Luoyang.

It is true that there are not many troops stationed in Chang'an and Luoyang, but these things are not what ordinary people are worried about.

The people may just like to join in the fun, and the news naturally reached the ears of those who have a heart, and all forces are discussing, Chang'an and Luoyang are indeed not many troops, and it is already recognized as a fact.

They are all waiting for the soldiers and horses of the Sui State to fight with the soldiers of Youzhou, as long as the two sides can stalemate, they will have more confidence to fight for their greatest interests.

Just when the forces of all parties were watching, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou had already acted.

While the soldiers and horses of the Sui State were hurrying, the cavalry of Youzhou had already arrived at the target location and were already preparing to block it.

Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin led the two soldiers and horses to directly use the fastest speed to block those who besieged Taiyuan Mansion before.

The last time they were beaten by the Li family's soldiers and horses, they lost their armor, and the reassembled soldiers and horses were still a rabble, and continuing to respond to the summons of Emperor Yang of Sui was nothing more than wanting to gain more benefits.

Originally, I wanted them to disband directly, but these princes and generals were very stubborn one by one, and they also said in a high-sounding manner that this was to protect the Sui State.

Emperor Yang of Sui also had no choice but to continue to let them be cannon fodder, even if they were cannon fodder, the combat effectiveness of 100,000 soldiers and horses could play a role in the case of more victories and fewer victories.

As long as someone has pomp, they can calm the field.

It's a pity that the vanguard won't let them help the siege.

Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin are becoming more and more mature in leading troops to fight, especially the two of them are best at night sneak attacks, their goal is to weaken the enemy's strength, so the fast horse went first and directly found the 100,000 marching team.

"I can't imagine that the most battle we fight is a sneak attack, do you have any good ideas." Ding Qilin said to Shi Huaiyi.

"What else can you do to destroy the enemy with conditions that are powerful for you?" Shi Huaiyi said.

"Are all the scouts dispatched?" Ding Qilin continued to ask.

"I'm going to be back soon." Shi Huaiyi said lightly.

The scout really came back very quickly, bringing back news of 100,000 soldiers.

"The grain and grass convoy is in the middle, and it may be difficult to rush at night to rush through the chaos, and it may not work to charge the camp directly, which is tantamount to a head-to-head duel." The scout returned.

Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin pondered, they were very good at night raids, but just one raid was far from enough.

If you want to get the most value at the lowest cost, you need more than just harassment, you must burn all the food and grass used by the enemy.

Emperor Yang of Sui in Jiangling may not lack soldiers and horses, but he must be short of food, and in terms of food control, he will definitely not send people to take the initiative to provide food for the soldiers and horses who come.

All theoretically, as long as the enemy's grain and grass are destroyed, it can successfully inflict the greatest damage on the enemy, and it will increase the pressure on Emperor Yang of Sui.

Gangneung's grain reserves need to be bought with money, and even if the emperor wants to provide 600,000 soldiers and horses, it is quite stressful.

It is impossible to use a forceful method to force all the shops in the city to collect grain.

Pay the smallest price to achieve the goal, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin know this truth very well, and the scouts they sent were also going to the enemy's food and grass at the beginning of the investigation.

"It seems that there is no way but to use some extraordinary means." Ding Qilin said.

Shi Huaiyi nodded, agreeing with the idea.

"Tell people to prepare, attack the camp at night!"

100,000 people are on the road, not to mention the treatment of resting in the camp, they all choose an open space to rest directly.

They didn't know that just after they had eaten deliciously, there were suddenly a few more patrolling soldiers and horses in their ranks.

These people are Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin's people, and several teams have successfully mixed into the patrol team, and each of them carries fire oil and fire candles that can burn food.

Everyone has it, and together they want to set a fire in enough amount not to be extinguished in a short time.

Rest of the rest, the patrol increased some of them also did not know.

To say that two people have experience, they used to want to mix in and secretly let the lone ranger do things.

Now they don't have to be sneaky, they directly send a patrol team to directly blend in and inspect in the open, and the serious expression looks more dedicated than the real thing.

There was no accident, and the patrol team successfully found the food protection area, and the patrol team was very bold to directly change guards with people.

None of them were suspected.

Because of this, their plan went so smoothly that no one doubted it.

All of a sudden, the flames were blazing, and it was not the grain and grass that burned but the periphery, and immediately someone shouted: "Someone sneak attack, kill." ”

As soon as the chaos came out, the grain and grass were also ignited, and the fire rose in an instant, directly lighting up the night sky, and the people and horses that had mixed in turned into stormtroopers and charged towards the route they had planned a long time ago.

Each of them is like a person who is not afraid of death, and he is extremely brave, and it is precisely because of this that he has led a group of people to rush out with them, as if they will not stop if they do not fight to the death with the enemy today.

"Rush."

The rabble is like this, after the incident immediately made a fuss, there were many people who watched the grain and grass for the first time, but it was a pity that it was difficult for them to extinguish it if they wanted to be extinguished with the help of fire oil.

Even if the food is extinguished, most of it has already been lost, not to mention that now it is attacked by people at night, and its combat effectiveness can only be exerted a little.

When the generals were at a loss, Shi Huaiyi and Ding Qilin had already achieved their goal, and the next thing was to carry out a blocking battle to restrict the enemy's movement and consume the enemy's food and grass.

There was not much food and grass for 100,000 soldiers and horses, so their speed would be accelerated, and they all knew that they would not starve to death as long as they reached Gangneung.

But they were able to get there, but they couldn't help it.

The fire was successful, and for the next period of time, the night raids did not let them go far, not only night raids, but also led soldiers and horses to intercept during the day, what lure the enemy, block, trap, guerrilla, all kinds of tactics were applied, and the enemy was trembling every day, for fear that he would suddenly be hit by a cold arrow.

"Your Majesty, the 100,000 soldiers and horses who set out from the south encountered the attack of the Youzhou soldiers on the way, and most of the grain and grass were lost, and now they have been pinned down by the enemy's main force, and they ask for support."

"A group of waste, 100,000 soldiers and horses can make people burn grain and grass, what do they want."

Emperor Yang of Sui thought about it, and he felt more and more sorry for the grain and grass he had paid, and wanted to support him now, where did he get the soldiers and horses to support.

"Tell them to replenish their food and grass as soon as they arrive in Gangneung, so that they don't delay the fighters."

What can Emperor Yang of Sui do, even if there is food, there is no one to escort him.
