Chapter 181: Fire Burns Grain and Grass
It's a pity that when the other party got there, he didn't find anyone, and he searched for it within a radius of hundreds of miles, wasting a lot of time.
At that time, Li Yi and his subordinates were doing their best to deal with the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion, and in addition, the other party did not come to Manniu City, which was in line with his wishes, so they did not attack the other party.
Now, they've got their hands free!
However, the news that the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion were almost wiped out should have also reached the ears of the other party's high-level officials, but I didn't expect that the other party would dare to come to Manniucheng, which made Li Yi a little admired, and couldn't help but wonder if the other party had any hole cards.
Since he learned about the strength of the Great Shang, Li Yi has never underestimated the army of the Great Shang.
After thinking about it, Li Yi couldn't be sure what the opponent's hole cards were.
Simply, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth.
If he can't think of the other party's means, then he first thinks about what kind of means to use against the other party.
Compared with the 1,000 people, all of whom are at least high-level elite Shenju Battalion soldiers, these hundreds of thousands of ordinary troops can use more methods.
At this time, the other party was about 700 miles away from them.
According to the speed of the other party, it will take about five days to reach Manniu City.
Li Yi didn't plan to wait any longer.
It's night.
Li Yi flew under the belt of six top-level golden eagles and quickly flew towards the army of the Great Shang Imperial Court.
More than 700 miles, in less than an hour, Li Yi arrived.
Even if viewed from a height of more than 500 meters, the scale of the mighty camp below also made Li Yi feel quite imposing, and at the same time, a trace of envy flashed in his eyes.
When can he have so many troops?
If he already had such a strong army, the Great Shang Imperial Court wouldn't dare to deal with him so casually, right?
After all, it was they who were too weak to let the enemy beat him if he wanted to.
Didn't think much about it.
Li Yi took out his binoculars and carefully looked at the camp below, searching for places that might be grain and grass.
At night, the sight is not too good.
Fortunately, the quality of the telescope upgraded by Li Yi using the power of faith is not too bad.
Plus, it's not too far away.
Soon, Li Yi found several places in this camp that were suspected of gathering grain and grass.
"Let's get started!"
Li Yi said softly.
The next moment, he let the six golden eagles stay in one position, took out the packages from his side one by one, and began to scatter and throw them down.
Then, without hesitation, let the six golden eagles fly to another location and drop the packages one by one.
In the blink of an eye, all the places suspected of storing grain and grass were thrown down by Li Yi with many packages.
At this time, the parcels thrown in front also fell on some carriages and tents.
"Boom!"
The wagons, the tents, immediately burst into flames and quickly spread around.
"Gone water, walked ...... water"
"Fight the fire, put out the fire, the grain and grass are on fire......"
High in the air, Li Yi faintly heard a voice coming from below.
Li Yi watched it for a while, and then did not continue to watch this scene from high in the sky.
Although, because of the construction of the super crossbow, it is difficult to shoot too high into the air, but such a large army, there must be a lot of super crossbows, it is difficult to say that there is any strange design, or special arrangement, in case it can really shoot to his location, and coincidentally shoot on him, or shoot on the body of the six golden eagles, then it will be very happy and sad.
Soon, Li Yi commanded the six golden eagles to leave here.
Those packages are actually a very simple device, find a strong and sealed thing, pour some fire oil, and then tie a few fire folds to the outside, and open the fire folds when you use them.
Once it falls to the ground, at such a high height, it will inevitably crack, and the fire fold will inevitably produce a blazing spark under the strong wind, and even the fire is very likely.
Li Yi didn't even need to use the power of faith to level up.
Before that, Li Yi had experimented.
However, in order to make these packages more powerful, Li Yi still spent a small amount of faith power to upgrade.
Four top-level golden eagles, you can take the heavily armed Li Yi, and there are two more top-level golden eagles, and at the same time carry a large number of such packages, naturally there is no problem.
So, there is a scene tonight.
On the steppe.
The fire burned all night.
At dawn.
The commander of the army of more than 100,000 people of the Great Shang had an ugly face.
Last night, although the fire was extinguished in time, half of the grain and grass were still burned, and originally, the food in their team was enough for them to eat for half a month, but now, they can only eat for seven or eight days.
That is, if they cannot destroy the enemy in seven or eight days, they will face a situation where they will have no food to eat.
Without food to eat, he knew what a disaster it would be for an army of hundreds of thousands.
In the rear, there are also food teams.
However, the time is calculated, and the number is limited, and if they send a message to the other party to step up the adjustment of food, the whole system will become tense and may not meet the requirements.
That's not the most important thing!
The most important thing is, if the enemy is dealing with the grain team in the rear, can the food team in the rear resist it?
Let's just say that the enemy's methods of burning their grain and grass this time are very strange.
Some soldiers even say that the flames fell from the sky...... How is this possible?
Once the enemy uses the same means against the grain team behind, can the grain team behind resist it?
"General Zhao, withdraw your troops! If nothing else, the enemy should be wrapped in the oil that the golden eagles threw in the sky! This kind of means is very difficult for us to resist, and once we are targeted by the enemy like this again, it will be difficult for our army to get out of Baiyue! ”
At this time, Zhang Haoran walked into the camp and said in a deep voice.
"Golden eagle set fire? Amusing! There are also six or seven golden eagles in our army, and General Zhang asked them to set fire to them! Or rather, General Zhang asked them to fly with you, and you set fire to them in the sky? Zhao Qian sneered.
The fire burned all night!
At this time, Zhang Haoran came over, and in his opinion, the other party came to see his jokes!
Don't you just want to withdraw your troops and make everyone look incompetent together?
Even, he wondered if Zhang Haoran wanted to use this to show that the loss of the Shenju Battalion was not lost in vain, so he tested that the enemy was invincible, and the withdrawal of the army could reduce Zhang Haoran's responsibility!
"In my opinion, it's more like there are thieves! In the dark night, how did the other party find out the location of our grain and grass? And how did you use a few golden eagles to set fire to so many places? Only the internal thieves can know the location of our grain and grass better, and they can set so many fires at the same time! ”
"I remember, General Zhang said that in a Baiyue tribe, the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion were poisoned for some reason, I want to ask, General Zhang can find out, how did you get poisoned? Isn't it that there is a thief among you, the poison of the thief? ”
Zhao Qian stared at Zhang Haoran and said in a deep voice.
At the beginning, Zhao Qian just wanted to simply fight back against Zhang Haoran, no matter how bold Zhang Haoran was, he shouldn't dare to let his subordinates set fire to their army, but as he spoke, a bright light seemed to flash in his heart.
Yes, what if there are thieves in the camp of the gods?
"Ridiculous! The place where it first burned, inside the ashes, I have already asked people to check it, and I have asked about the team guarding the grain and grass, and it is not surprising, it is as I said! The soldiers of the Shenju Battalion, each of them is innocent, but it is just a defeat, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, why should General Zhao insult the innocence of the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion? Zhang Haoran laughed angrily.
"Really? Then how can you explain that your soldiers were poisoned in that Baiyue tribe? I heard some soldiers of the Shenju Battalion who escaped back say that when you were just poisoned, they didn't get close to you, but only shot arrows from a distance, and it was obvious that they knew the dietary rules among the high-ranking elites in the Great Shang army, how could General Zhang explain it? Zhao Qian said lightly.
"As far as I know, some time ago, the thieves subdued many Baiyue tribes, and that Baiyue tribe is likely to have been subdued by the thieves, so it can be explained that the people in the Baiyue tribe poisoned them in advance."
"As for them, they know the dietary rules among the high-ranking elites in the Dashang army, and it is very simple, this rule is not a very secret thing, the background of Qinglong Village, General Zhao wants to know, it is not difficult for them to know this rule."
Zhang Haoran said in a deep voice.
"General Zhang is worthy of being the chief general of a thousand Shenju Battalion soldiers, his wisdom is unparalleled, Zhao admires, but, Zhao is a little puzzled, since General Zhang thought that they are likely to know the dietary rules of the middle and senior elites of the Dashang army, why did General Zhang still do so much at that time and lose the lives of many Shenju Battalion soldiers in vain?" Zhao Qian smiled and asked.
Zhang Haoran's face was gloomy.
Didn't speak again.
Can he say that he only thought of this matter later?
After all, some things are only possible! Not for sure!
However, Zhao Qian deliberately provoked, and he was in no mood to refute it!
"What does General Zhao mean?" Zhang Haoran asked directly and calmly.
"The army immediately marched and went to Manniu City, with our strength, as long as we reach Manniu City, it is not difficult to destroy Manniu City in an instant, at that time, the problem of grain and grass can naturally be solved!" Zhao Qian said lightly.
"What if, during this period, the other party leaves Bull City?" Zhang Haoran asked coldly.
"Therefore, I plan to ask General Zhang for one thing, I hope that General Zhang can take the remaining Shenju Battalion, plus 10,000 elite soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, to reach Manniu City first, drag the other party, and prevent the other party from leaving!" Zhao Qian said.
"One hundred Shenju battalion soldiers, ten thousand elite soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, General Zhang won't say that he can't hold off the other party, right?" Zhao Qian asked.
Zhang Haoran was silent.
"You are the president of this war, and I am the one who commands it." After a moment, Zhang Haoran said lightly.
Zhao Qian had never commanded high-level elite soldiers in combat, and he did not know the true power of a large number of high-level elite soldiers at all.
It is even more unclear that the power of the top elite soldiers.
It's just that the twenty or so divine horse cavalry will be difficult to deal with.
There are also the enemy's golden eagles, which are also a huge problem.
Who has ever seen a golden eagle that can take a person on flight?
Who has ever seen a golden eagle that can set fire to the sky?
The 10,000 Zhenxi Army is certainly stronger, but the problem is also greater!
That is, there are many people, big goals, poor actions, and a lot of food and grass needs!
Once it is specially targeted by the enemy, it is difficult to say whether it will suffer greater losses!
