Chapter 157: Looting Grain and Grass
Qiang Fenghuo nodded violently, and Qiang Cheng admonished again: "Qiang Xing's military achievements are very great, if it is spread out, even his father will not be able to protect you, and besides, what this Gangou general said is not true, you can't speculate just on a few words, beware of falling into the tricks of the big thief." ”
"The child knows the severity, the situation at that time, it is inconvenient for Dagan's generals to say in detail, Fenghuo thought about it carefully afterwards, if it wasn't for something else, Dagan's generals would not be so sure."
Qian Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I know, you go out." ”
Beacon gave a respectful salute and withdrew from the hall. Qiancheng stroked the edge of the teacup with his hand and said to himself in a cold voice, "Qiang Xingzhi." ”
Since the discussion in the Xirong army, the Yingchou Gorge garrison has frequently gone to battle, so for more than 20 days, almost every day they sent troops to plunder the grain and grass of the shepherd wolf, and occasionally besieged the camp of the shepherd wolf, but it was just a show, a touch to go, and did not love war.
However, what Xirong's right commander never expected was that the shepherd wolf did not seem to take the Xirong army's grain robbery to heart, but just allowed Hu Chajing to lead a battalion of Yue cavalry and intercept and kill the Xirong cavalry in Dizhou. If the Xijon people are outnumbered, the Yue cavalry camp will avoid the edge, follow behind from afar, and once the opportunity is found, they will immediately wave their troops and kill the Xijon cavalry.
In the first battle between the two armies, Xirong had the upper hand, and more than half of the grain and grass entering Dizhou were looted or burned.
Unexpectedly, what made the Xirong generals dumbfounded was that the Shuangfeng battalion had an endless supply of grain and grass, as long as the grain and grass were robbed, within two days, there would be new grain and grass transported to the Shepherd Wolf camp, and at most, there were three armies a day to escort the grain and grass.
All the generals in Xirong sighed, Da Gan is stormy, but the accumulation of hundreds of years is really beyond the reach of the desolate land of Xirong.
Qiancheng's heart sank like water, and he already saw that something was wrong. The soldiers and horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, and the shepherd wolf despised the supply in the army so much. It's really abnormal, coupled with the reports in the army these days, the soldiers who go out to rob food every day are getting more and more killed and wounded.
When the troops were first dispatched, the casualties on each trip were only about a few dozen, and in recent days, hundreds of soldiers have been killed every time they send out troops. The most time, it was surrounded by Hu Chajing's Yue cavalry battalion, 3,000 cavalry, and only half of them fled back to Yingchou Gorge.
It's just that the supply of grain and grass in all parts of the army is becoming more and more abundant, and no one has noticed the changes in the Sky Wolf Cavalry. It wasn't until three days in a row that the Xirong army failed to rob the grain and grass that Qiancheng woke up and hurriedly convened the generals in the army to discuss the matter. Under the question, Qiancheng was extremely shocked. In more than 20 days before and after, the Xirong army lost more than 6,000 horsemen, which is better, compared to robbing back the grain and grass of the camp, the gains can compensate for the losses.
However, what made the city lose color was that the Shepherd Wolf cavalry became more and more courageous, and when they first met with the Xirong cavalry, it was mostly difficult to fight back, and as the two armies fought more and more. Hu Chajing became more and more handy.
Muzhou Ranger is famous all over the world. This really showed its bravery, until the last three days, the Yue cavalry battalion attacked against attack, broke through several Xirong armies, and forced the Xirong cavalry to flee back to Yingchou Gorge in a hurry.
When the generals in the army heard this, they all lost their colors. I didn't expect the shepherd wolf to be so bold and use grain and grass to lure Xirong to send troops, and I didn't expect the shepherd wolf to have a lot of baggage, even Di Jie didn't dare to have such a big hand. In the past, many Xirong soldiers were confused by grain and grass. After repeated battles, the food robbery was the first, and it did not hurt the Shepherd Wolf cavalry much, but Xirong suffered a lot of losses.
Qiancheng hurriedly ordered all the Xirong cavalry to go into battle, using the looting of grain as bait to severely damage the Wolf Yue cavalry camp. I never thought that I would leak the news, and I couldn't lure the enemy, but I was attacked by Liu Ce and Hu Chajing, killing and wounding thousands. Qiancheng personally supervised the battle, and finally saw the world-famous Muzhou rangers, who came and went like the wind on the battlefield, and did not fall under the Xirong elite horsemen.
Seeing the Yue cavalry camp Shi Shiran retreat to the Shepherd Wolf camp, Qiancheng was furious, waved his army up, and besieged the Shepherd Wolf camp. It's just that the shepherd wolf sent troops this time, except for Kuang Lizhe and Qin Shutong who stayed in the Shuangfeng camp, the soldiers and horses in the army all entered Dizhou, in addition to the more than 10,000 Hu cavalry battalions led by Ding Shu, Liu Ce called for no less than 80,000 soldiers in the Jing Division, and there were many generals. The Xirong army in Yingchou Gorge was only 80,000. The shepherd wolf is still as usual, taking defense as an attack, and it is difficult for Xirong to have a good strategy for a while, let alone encirclement and suppression.
Such a march was unheard of in the city. Grain and herbs are the foundation of the march, who wants to herd the wolf in the opposite way, if it is a normal day, the city is not afraid, and some days, even if the wolf is rich in grain and grass, it can't afford to toss like this. It's just that today, but Xirong has no way to retreat, and Shuoxi Palace has sent messages several times, asking Qiancheng to break through the Dagan military camp as soon as possible and rescue Shengyin.
Qiancheng passed several secret letters, personally writing the pros and cons, so that the Xirong Hao clan temporarily suppressed their anger. It's just that more than 20 days have passed, and the weather in Xifu has been warm, and the Shepherd Wolf Camp is still in Dizhou, not moving half an inch, not to mention that Li Luo actually regarded Luocao Mountain as the back garden of the palace, and he has no intention of returning to the Shuangfeng Camp at all.
The anger of the Xirong clan is rising day by day, and at the worst time, there are people in the court, scolding the Kala, and there are even small people in the city of Shuoxi who rumors that the Kaluo is pre-borrowed the hand of Dagan to kill the ancestral mountain Shengyin, in order to consolidate the imperial power.
In recent years, the power of Kara has become more and more powerful, and he planned to marry Changning, forcing Changning to escape from Xirong, which was only known to a few prominent families in Xirong. As soon as the news spread, all the tribes in Xirong knew the whole story, and they were secretly resentful in their hearts.
Changning fell into the hands of the enemy, and Kara didn't seem to care much, and for more than two months before and after, the Xirong army did not see an inch. The military report from Qiancheng was returned, only talking about the robbery of grain, but Changning was still in the hands of Li Luo, and was scolded by these Xirong Wang clans.
Along with the rumors, the well-intentioned people of the Xirong tribes speculated in detail, and there was a little more credibility, which added to the resentment of the tribes, and many well-intentioned people walked in secret, contacting the tribes, and wanted to abolish the karma in the name of the ancestral temple.
When Kara found out about the news, he was furious, but it was an eventful time, and it was inconvenient for Kara to act rashly, lest the public be angry. The ancestral temple has been transcendent for decades, and although Kara is ambitious, it is difficult to get it in his pocket for a while.
Since the news of Changning being held hostage disappeared, the Ancestral Temple sent dozens of martial arts and strong Ancestral Mountains to take them in, and dispatched two elders to the rescue, but the grass and trees in Dizhou were all soldiers, and the army was fighting vertically and horizontally, and the masters of the Ancestral Temple could not get close to the area of Luocao Mountain at all.
The Xirong tribes also sent masters to secretly follow the people in the ancestral temple, while running around for help, most of the generals in the Xirong army are the children of various tribes, and the elders in the clan have orders, all of them are invited to fight and send troops, Kaluo just did not allow it, adding a little resentment to the clansmen, coupled with the previous concealment of news, the Xirong tribes are even more dissatisfied, and for a while, Shuoxi actually has a sense of turmoil.
