Chapter 130: Surprise attack on the military grain depot
The four of them discussed it for a while, and finally decided to send two martial kings to take a team back to the imperial city to investigate the situation. Send five more warrior kings, each with a small team, with the handwritten letter of the second prince, to several neighboring states and counties to mobilize grain and grass. In the end, the three of them decided that Meng Anguo and the little princess would lead a team of men and horses, with storage bags and array plates, to lurk in the rear of the army of the Great Liang State, waiting for an opportunity to snatch the grain and grass supplies of the Great Liang State.
Not to mention the team led by the two martial kings who went to the imperial city and the men and horses who mobilized grain and grass from various states and counties, but said that the little princess and Meng Anguo led a team of 1,000 people to evade the surveillance of the army of the Great Liang State, and took advantage of the night to bypass the army of the Great Liang State and go to the rear of the army of the Great Liang State.
They sent some scouts and soon figured out where the grain and grass were hoarded by the army of the Great Liang State.
The little princess and Meng Anguo led the team to this camp where food was stored, and they carefully observed the terrain and the situation in the barracks.
Soon the situation was figured out: 20,000 soldiers of the Great Liang State guarding the grain depot were stationed in this camp, and the grain and grass in it could supply 500,000 horses for a month.
The little princess and Meng Anguo discussed for a while, and finally decided that the little princess would dress up as a child, secretly approach the gate of the barracks, kill the soldiers guarding the door, divide the thousand-person squad into ten squads, each squad took a formation, sneaked into the barracks, and then secretly launched a formation to trap and eliminate as many soldiers in the barracks as possible, and then put the grain and grass in it into storage bags and transported them back to their barracks.
When it got dark, the little princess dressed up as a little girl and quietly approached the gate of the barracks. There were two rows of soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the barracks, and the little princess secretly threw a formation plate at the door, and then set it up. The two rows of guards at the door were all covered in the formation at once, and then they were extinguished by the bows and arrows, boulders, fireballs, etc. in the formation. The little princess put away the array, and with a wave of her hand, Meng Anguo led the ten teams and quickly rushed into the barracks. Everyone dispersed according to the squad, as long as they saw a place with a lot of people, they threw the array plate over, and launched it, and the team formed a hundred people to cut the formation, and hacked to death the soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom in the formation with the energy sword.
After such an attack, the soldiers of the Great Liang State in the barracks were wiped out by five or six thousand. The soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom also discovered these squads that had attacked. For a while, the soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom shouted loudly, and the shouts in the military camp shook the sky, and groups of soldiers rushed over, Meng Anguo and the little princess and others commanded the team to trap the soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom in the formation, and then eliminate them, or use the energy broadsword of the hundred people to cut the formation, sweep the soldiers who rushed up over and over again, and cut these soldiers in two.
There were two more rounds of impact, and more than 10,000 soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom were wiped out. Even the commander in the barracks, a general at the level of a martial king, was killed. The soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom were frightened and did not dare to continue to attack, but fled from the barracks one after another and fled into the distance. The soldiers of the Great Liang Kingdom fled far away, and the little princess and Meng Anguo hurriedly ordered the soldiers to use storage bags to pack all the grain and grass in the barracks. After a while, the little princess and the others brought more than 200 storage bags, all of which were full. More than half of the grain and grass in the barracks were loaded.
There were no storage bags available, and the little princess said, "There are still too few storage bags, but it's a pity that there is nothing to hold these grains and grass." Meng Anguo ordered the thousand soldiers, each carrying some, and then burned the rest of the fire.
In the billowing smoke, the little princess and Meng Anguo ordered the soldiers to retreat. This thousand-strong squad of 1,000 people quickly bypassed the military camp of the Great Liang Kingdom and returned to their own camp with food on their backs.
When the second prince saw that everyone had returned, he was overjoyed, and handed over all the grain and grass in the storage bags to the quartermaster, which was enough for the entire army to use for more than ten days.
With food and grass, everyone will no longer be worried, and the morale of the army will be very stable.
Let's say that Murong Zhi of the Great Liang Kingdom originally made up his mind to confront the army of the Great Xia Kingdom, and neither took the initiative to attack nor retreat, so he defended the army of the Great Xia Kingdom.
But suddenly, a soldier came to report that the army of the Great Xia Kingdom had suddenly attacked their grain depot at night, and a month's worth of military rations had either been stolen by the army of the Great Xia Kingdom or burned by the army of the Great Xia Kingdom.
Murong Zhi was taken aback: How could the army of the Great Xia Kingdom suddenly attack his grain depot? There are 20,000 soldiers guarding his grain depot, and among these soldiers, there is also a Martial King! I have not seen when the army of the Great Xia Kingdom has sent men and horses, why was the grain depot suddenly attacked? Now that the grain depot has been attacked, and the army has no food available, how can this battle be fought?
Murong Zhi hurriedly ordered the quartermaster to come over.
After the quartermaster came, he reported to Murong Zhi, saying that their current grain and grass were only enough to supply the army for three days. After three days, if the rear could not transport food and grass, then their army would have no food and grass to supply, and the army would collapse without a fight.
Murong Zhi was very sad after hearing this, and after discussing with the generals in the army, he decided to withdraw from the army immediately and withdraw to the Great Liang State first. No, there is no food and grass here, and I can't figure out what wonderful tactics the Great Xia Kingdom has, why was Duan Gancheng, the eighth level of the Martial King, so easily eliminated by the Great Xia Kingdom?
Murong Zhi commanded the army of the Great Liang State to pull out the camp overnight and withdraw to the Great Liang State.
After the second prince, the little princess and Meng Anguo got the news of the retreat of the Great Liang Kingdom, they hurriedly pursued the victory, quickly recovered Beiting County, and arranged formations, built fortifications, and defended the Great Liang Kingdom at the border between Beiting County and the Great Liang State.
The second prince soon got the news from the capital: the eldest prince rebelled with the Cao family, the Sun family, and the Huang family, the eldest prince was arrested, the heads of the Cao family, the Sun family, and the Huang family were killed, and the three families were arrested and put in prison......
The second prince and Meng Anguo and others were still shocked after hearing this, they were tightly defending the attack of the Great Liang Kingdom, while waiting for the news of the war between the Flying Dragon Army and the Great Chen Kingdom: the life and death of the Great Xia Kingdom were all in this battle, if the Great Xia Kingdom was defeated, then the Great Xia Kingdom would be destroyed and the people would be wiped out.
Not to mention the second prince and the little princess, who strictly defended the Great Liang Kingdom in Beiting County, and said that Ning Feijie, the dean of the Royal Academy who went to the northwest, the heads of the Liu family and the Xiao family, as well as the two royal family worshippers and the Zhao family patriarchs who went to the east, each took their troops and quickly rushed to the Black Dragon Army in the northwest and the Yellow Dragon Army in the east.
When they arrived, they found that both battlefields were very peaceful, with no large-scale battles, only occasional sporadic battles between small armies. It turned out that the Great Moon Kingdom and the Black Mountain Kingdom in the northwest, as well as the four island countries in the east, although they had reached an agreement with the Great Chen Kingdom to jointly attack the Great Xia Kingdom, these countries were also bluffing and did not really attack, and they were all waiting for the results of the war between the Great Chen Kingdom and the Great Xia Kingdom. When the Great Xia Kingdom is really defeated, then they will take the opportunity to attack and reap the benefits. If the Great Xia Kingdom was victorious, they would have nothing to lose. It is guessed that after the life-and-death battle with the Great Chen Kingdom, even if the Great Xia Kingdom can win, it will suffer heavy casualties and broken bones, and there will be no more strength to attack them.
