Chapter 307: War Without Food

Inside the lobby, there was silence.

The generals around him are all like dumb, looking at their noses, their noses and boots, and they don't put a single fart.

Su Lu saw this situation and also understood, Xiting did not send military rations over.

A master came from behind and presented a military booklet.

"This is a plea from Lord Macheng."

Su Lu opened it and looked at it, his face darkened.

"This year's autumn harvest is reduced, the grain payment in various parts of the country is insufficient, the major grain depots of the imperial court are short of grain, coupled with the continuous use of troops in Xiting Andong, and the big hole of Zuo Guangping, the grain and grass that the imperial court can transport cannot support a big war at all."

In the lobby, the faces of the generals were full of frustration, the military horses did not move, the grain and grass went first, there was no food and grass, and they fought a fart battle and built a fart deed.

Su Lu put down the guilty plea and instructed: "All armies listen to the order, follow the original plan, and continue to practice the battle formations, and all guard battalions, battalions, and brigades must be familiar with all battle formations. ”

"It will be performed in ten days, if that battalion can't get out of the battle formation, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"It's all gone."

Su Lu commanded.

The generals and captains dispersed, and in the lobby, only Zhou Yuan and Su Lu were left, as well as a group of guards and soldiers who looked tired around them.

"Lord Wang, without food and grass, this battle can't be fought, so let's retreat?"

Zhou Yuan's resentment towards Tang should be the highest.

In the twelfth year of the First Emperor Dynasty, the Tang army invaded Jiangzhou, broke Shangshan, detoured to Pingnan, and killed Zhou Yuan's hometown Wangjiang.

Su Lu asked and said: "Xiting, Jiangzhou, all the money and grain taxes should be transferred from the capital or Changping, are there no grain in these two places?" ”

Zhou Yuan nodded: "Your Majesty has urgently issued an edict to suspend the grain trade with Tule, and transfer the grain from the six northern states to Jiangzhou, but the distant water does not quench the thirst of the near, Lord, the war is together, if there is no grain and grass, the war situation will be erosive, and it is not a crime of war." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "You can't win a battle without food and grass." ”

"Mud, pull out the defense map."

Su Lu commanded.

Mud and the two guards took a few steps forward and hung up the defense map.

Su Lu pointed to the defense map and said: "The Tang State has newly established the Shangshan Jiedu Mansion to control the war with the Han State, and the newly established Jiedu Mansion is located in Yilong, so his grain and grass warehouse cannot be too far from Yilong." ”

"Xie Ruyu is cautious and moves after making a decision, so the place where he lives with grain and grass should be very secure, Wangjiazhen, this should be a large transshipment warehouse, and his front-line warehouse should be here, Erdaogang."

Su Lu pointed to a point on the defense map and said.

Zhou Yuan opened his mouth and stammered, not knowing how to interface, he really didn't know much about military affairs. How did the prince judge that Wangjiazhen was a large transfer warehouse, Erdaogang is very close to our Han Kingdom, Xie Ruyu would not be so stupid and set up the large warehouse here.

"The Tang Kingdom is rich, if this is really a front-line warehouse, it is also heavily guarded, and we can't take it in a hurry."

Zhou Yuan said cautiously, although he didn't understand military affairs, but since it was a front-line warehouse, it must be heavily guarded, after all, without food, the guards would not fight.

Su Lu nodded: "Yes, if you want to take here, it is not enough to be strong and strong, but you have to take it by surprise and attack it unprepared." ”

"The left army has 6,000 people in Su Ping, and the Chinese army is only 12,000, if you want to take the front line warehouse, this number of people should be enough."

"Passing on my military order, Li Kun immediately pulled out the camp, went forward, made a gesture of attacking Yilong, cut off the connection between Yilong and Erdaogang, and disrupted the enemy's deployment."

"The Chinese army and the left army immediately pull out the camp, we will command the army, rush to Erdaogang, and before sunrise tomorrow, take down enough grain and grass for our army."

"Zhou Yuan, now that there is no one available in Shangshan, you immediately gather the people available in the four fields and eight townships, and before the middle of tomorrow, rush to Erdaogang and transport the grain and grass back to me."

Zhou Yuan was a little apprehensive: "Lord Wang, this is pressing on the fate of my Han army, if you can't take Erdaogang, or Erdaogang doesn't have a transfer warehouse, my Han army will be finished." ”

Su Lu waved his hand: "Gather the people as soon as possible, you don't have much time." ”

Zhou Yuan got up and walked out.

Soon, the right army living outside the city pulled out the camp, and the peak of the soldiers pointed directly at Tang Junyilong County.

As soon as it was dark, the right army and the central army set off.

In the convoy of the Chinese army, Su Lu was lying in the carriage and commanded:

"Speed up the march, don't care about my injuries, this is a life-and-death battle for the Jiangzhou Guards, before dawn tomorrow, our army must arrive and take the second post."

The order was issued, the guards picked up speed, and the carriage was noticeably bumpy.

The driving breeze probe came in: "Lord Wang, let's slow down, such bumps are not good for your injury." ”

Su Lu waved his hand, signaling Qingfeng to continue to accelerate.

Qingfeng was helpless, so he had to throw up the whip and speed up.

After a night of marching, when the sky was bright, the left army and the right army rushed to Erdaogang, and the scouts sent by the vanguard came back to explore the road, and Su Ping led a few scouts over.

"Second brother, the front is Erdaogang, as you expected, there is a large transfer warehouse under the second gang, according to the scout, there is a Tang army camp in front, but the Tang army's inspection does not seem to be strict enough, and there seems to be no patrol between the transfer warehouse."

Su Lu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Let's go, go ahead and have a look." ”

Qingfeng picked up Su Lu, walked among the troops, and when he went to Erdaogang, he saw two military camps under construction.

The latter place is obviously the grain depot, and the camp is full of all kinds of tall circular warehouses.

In front of it was the barracks, and although it was early in the morning, the neighing of horses was constantly heard.

"Su Ping, you take the left battalion, and when the grain depot is fighting, you will cut off the connection between the Tang army camp and the grain depot, make an attack posture, and cover the Tang army camp with arrow rain, so that the Tang army can't figure out the form and dare not move lightly."

Su Ping turned around and led the army.

"Dong Ning, you lead an army and enter the grain depot from the east, you must be fast and hidden, and before the Tang army reacts, you must break the wall and enter the grain depot."

"Wang Si, you lead an army and enter the granary from the south, there is a section of the camp wall that doesn't look strong enough, you bring people up, break this camp wall, pass through the camp, and together with Su Ping, attack the Tang army camp on the north side."

The two of them said yes and turned to go.

Su Lu patted Qingfeng's hand and commanded: "Put me down, this is a relatively high place around, just enough to take the overall situation." ”

Qingfeng glanced at the mud next to him, and the mud slipped down, and after a while, he brought a mat and spread it on the ground.

"Kill"

A killing sound suddenly sounded in the dark night, and Dong Ning, who had attacked from the east side of the grain depot, was finally discovered by the Tang army, but the brigade had already entered the grain depot, and it was too late to find out.

Su Lu threw out the long qiāng array card, and the two third-level long qiāng array cards shrouded the two armies, this battle was related to the life and death of the Shangshan Tang army, not only to win, but also to win neatly.

In the grain depot, Dong Ning, who was commanding the army, suddenly felt a warmth in his body, and his strength seemed to be born from his body, circulating his limbs and hundreds of remains.
