There is a purpose for this arrangement, if you let these soldiers and horses go to pull the transportation in person, there is actually no problem, but after all, the military city is an important granary, as the saying goes, wealth is not exposed.

Li De didn't want to encounter any accidents, so the grain handover was delivered to the door by Pioneer brand vehicles, anyway, a short distance can also exercise the soldier's foot strength, and the key is not to expose the food reserves of the military city.

In successive months, the grain reserves of the military city were directly reduced by two percent, after all, 300,000 soldiers and horses had to be supplied, and the military salaries given to them by the imperial court were used in exchange for food.

After a and purchase, enough for 300,000 people to eat for a month, it has met the needs of the war, but there has been no movement for a long time.

The vanguard men were also observing, all wanting to see what kind of attack they were using, and they waited for nearly two months, only to have a huge fleet.

In the battle conference room of the military city, Li De and the others had already received news from the spies, and Emperor Yang of Sui had rushed here with nearly 10,000 ships along the way, and the purpose was self-evident.

What they had to do was to use the tactics proposed by Li De and the mission, land by water, then establish a defensive position, and wait for food and soldiers and horses to come ashore one after another.

"Grand Duke, will they be able to succeed?"

He Bida wondered, this tactic was proposed by them, but judging from the current situation, it was also implemented in this way, and whether it could succeed was actually very much expected by everyone.

Li De didn't answer immediately, but asked, "Hebida, how much grain did they sell enough to last for how many days?" ”

He Bida said directly: "According to the current situation, if the grain purchased by 300,000 soldiers and horses can last for twenty days without control, it can last for at least a month under control. ”

"Then it's good that they continue to buy food?" Li De asked.

Hebida shook his head directly.

Li De knew in his heart that his tactical arrangement relied on logistics and supplies, and it was useless to have strong troops without sufficient grain and grass.

This is like a blood transfusion, when it is really needed, it needs to be continuous, but once it is broken, then life is also broken, and the current situation of the soldiers and horses of the Sui State is like this.

Don't look at it now, they think that they can win the war if they have enough food and grass, but the situation of war is unpredictable, and who knows when it will change.

After Li De knew the situation, he said his thoughts, and the current situation was that the soldiers and horses of the Sui State still did not realize that enough food and grass was the key to their victory.

Can 300,000 soldiers and horses be gathered, is it really short of this grain and grass?

In fact, many times many people don't know what the emperor is thinking, obviously he has the advantage but is always a little bit worse, and this time the plan is the same.

Li De told the whole plan without reservation about the exchange with the mission, but in the end he was still reluctant to buy a large amount of grain and grass, perhaps because they were too confident that they would be able to resist the encirclement of the Goryeo soldiers and horses by landing this time.

Don't forget that the Goryeo Kingdom is not fighting alone, there are Silla and Baisqueo next to them, and the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Sui State will inevitably worry about it, even if the previous loss of troops will be greatly damaged, but they will definitely be desperate to face life and death.

Anyway, in their opinion, the emperor of the Sui State is a face-loving man, and even if a small country like them loses, they can call the Sui State a minister and pay tribute.

In fact, Silla Baizhuo really guessed correctly, but the result was not good.

After Li De's explanation, several people knew very well that this time was really not optimistic, but they couldn't do anything, did they really want to contribute food to the soldiers of the Sui State impermanently?

"Governor, what are we going to do now?" Hebida asked.

"Wait and see, I don't want the soldiers of the Sui State to fill this place, so we still have to help if necessary, just see how Your Majesty chooses, and we have to be prepared before then."

What Li De said was the plan they had made before, in fact, they had already started building ships when they were preparing to attack Goryeo, and they were all medium-sized fishing boats that would not hide from people and had a small amount of cargo capacity.

It is still possible to go by sea with the big ship, and then there is more preparation is the specially processed bamboo raft, and the cargo box is wrapped with waterproof wax paper when transporting materials, which can be insisted on going ashore.

These were all planned before.

As long as the rice is not all wet, it is no problem if it does not exceed the expiration date, not to mention that the vanguard is well prepared, and they all use modified bamboo tubes to pack rice.

Everyone carries these bamboo tubes, which is equivalent to a person carrying rations that can support him for a month, not to mention that he needs at least fifty catties or one hundred catties a month.

The armor of the soldiers weighed dozens of pounds, and fifty pounds per person was nothing.

Li De recovered from his contemplation and said, "Our ships will continue to be built, in fact, I don't expect them to be able to occupy the enemy's soldiers and horses in the city, as long as they can reduce casualties." ”

Several people heard it in their hearts, and following such a leader with a benevolent heart is more admirable and convincing than driving people to a dead end.

He Bida and the others all understood in their hearts, why the military city could develop so fast, there were so many people, in the final analysis, it was not the soldiers who survived and gathered after the defeat of a million soldiers and horses last time.

Now that the Sui State has gathered another 300,000 soldiers and horses, what the outcome of this battle will be, many people are looking forward to it, and for the vanguards, they don't want these people to lose the battle.

But they all know that if they really have the chance, they will absorb more people.

"Okay, no matter what they do, we'll do our own thing, and let people send more food before they go on the expedition." Li Dedao.

Benevolence and righteousness are well known to many people.

The mission had never been too far from the military city, and was not stationed at the gathering place of 300,000 soldiers and horses, and it was clear that the purpose of the mission was now equivalent to the role of a military consultation.

Grain and grass are indispensable for war, and many transactions are mostly purchased by the mission through money, and some generals even buy food directly through the mission.

Li De was reluctant to interfere with them in this matter, and his attitude was that if there was money, there would be food.

Approaching the beginning of autumn, 300,000 soldiers and horses really sent troops to Goryeo, and the boats, large ships and small boats that were called by water and boats were really countless, and they couldn't be counted.

It landed in one day, perhaps luckily, there were no fishing boats passing by and no one was seen on the shore of the landing, so 30,000 soldiers and horses successfully landed on the first day.

The second group of soldiers and horses set out on the third day after the return of the ships, but as soon as they came ashore, they were discovered by the Goryeo soldiers and horses, and the two sides retreated after several battles without victory.

The 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Sui State lost hundreds of people, which shows that the several attacks of the Goryeo soldiers and horses were temptations.
