Chapter 126: Ripples

In the evening, smoke rose from all the camps of the Xinfeng Sui army camp, and the troops of various departments were lighting fires for cooking. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

What else can I add? Don't think about the meat, it's just a little more corn and the porridge is thicker.

When marching and fighting, the main general relies on his subordinates, and then there are veterans who can fight, and the other soldiers are just like that, holding a spear to make up the number, winning the battle and sharing the soup, and losing the battle is thrown as bait to the pursuers.

Staying up one day is one day, this is the idea of most ordinary soldiers, seeing that the meal has not yet arrived, the big guys are wiping their weapons and armor in their respective tents.

As an official army near the Beijing Division, although the treatment is not much better, but it is also stronger than elsewhere, swords, bows and arrows, spears, crotch armor, should be matched, now the weather is starting to get warmer, and the half-new and old military uniforms do not feel cold on the body.

The battlefield is full of stray arrows, so the protective crotch armor is very important, although the armor leaves are rusty, but at least they can block arrows, of course, if there is anyone who does not want to die and secretly take the armor leaves to sell them for money, it is to blame others for their own death.

"Na, this collar crotch armor has been worn for a long time, and the leather ropes strung with nail leaves are seriously worn, and now it is necessary to check which leather ropes are about to break, and replace them quickly."

A veteran is teaching another soldier's experience, the two are fellow villagers, one has been a soldier for more than ten years, and the other has just reached the age of being conscripted for military service.

"On the battlefield, there are people in front and back, left and right, if you are unlucky and are shot by stray arrows, then accept your fate, this is God wants to accept you, hurry up and find a good person to reincarnate."

"Uncle, if you are shot in the arm by an arrow or something, you will die?"

"If the arrow is not clean, it is easy to get tetanus if you shoot it, even if you don't have tetanus, the suppuration of the wound can hurt you to death, if you can survive it, it's okay, if you can't get through, you can really hurt the dead."

"What then?"

"What to do? Do you go to the temple to burn incense and ask the Buddha for blessing on weekdays? If you haven't burned it, you can hope that your ancestors will bless you! ”

"Uncle, what should I do if I can't understand the flag and can't understand the trumpet?"

"Don't think about anything, you follow what others do, don't come out in everything, you know?" The veteran patiently imparted his experience, "You have a thin hemp body, don't think about any meritorious service, saving your life is the most important thing." ”

"Oh..."

The recruit looked down to inspect his crotch armor, and after a while he caught a glimpse of the veteran wrapping straw rope around the shaft of his spear, and asked curiously what was going on.

"When a spear stabs someone, blood flows down the pole, and it slips when you hold it, and even if you soak it in blood, you won't slip when you hold it."

"Wouldn't it be better to wrap it in a cloth?"

"You burn a lot of money and wrap it in a cloth!"

Seeing the recruits, the veterans continued to pass on their experience, if there were really strips of cloth, then wash them and carry them with them, and use them to bandage them when they were injured on the battlefield, as for the treatment of military doctors, it was not something that a big-headed soldier like them could enjoy.

"You have to rely on yourself for everything, as well as your fellow villagers, if you are injured, there will be people who will help you run, and if you die, at least someone will go back to report to your family."

While the two were talking, they heard someone whispering outside, and the veteran came out of the camp and saw many people gathered in groups of three or five to discuss something.

"What do you say? Why not add meat tonight? ”

"Don't you know? Guangtong warehouse was burned by Zhou Jun! ”

"Let's talk about it! Where did Zhou Jun come from? Besides, Guangtong Warehouse is not heavily guarded, how can it be burned? ”

"Anyway, it was burned by Zhou Jun, and the news spread... Hey, the rest of the day will be sad! ”

"Is this news really true, if Zhou Jun is spreading it carefully?"

"Don't believe it, this is what my fellow countryman who was a relative under the general's tent said..."

Seeing that everyone was preaching, the veteran stomped his feet and turned back to the camp tent: "You can eat a few more bowls for dinner in a while, and I am afraid that there will not be enough food in the future." ”

Seeing the inexplicable appearance of the recruit, he told the rumors again, and seeing that the other party had not come back to his senses, he first explained why the burning of the Guangtong warehouse would cause the food supply to be insufficient, and then continued to teach the experience.

"You have thin arms and thin legs, you will definitely not be able to grab others, remember, the first bowl is only half a bowl, hurry up and finish eating and go to line up to play the second bowl!"

The recruit nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Then will this battle be fought next?" ”

"Hit? What to fight when the food is gone, I see, this Great Sui will be finished sooner or later! ”

The rumor that Guangtongcang was burned was like a stone thrown into the water that caused ripples in the Sui army camp, spreading to the surrounding area, and the scope became larger and larger.

。。。。。。

In a corner of the camp, in a heavily guarded tent, several generals were whispering.

"Is this information reliable?"

"Reliable, my brother is Huazhou Tian Cao joined the army..."

In the barracks, it is said that without the permission of the commander-in-chief, others are not allowed to inquire about the military situation at will, but the actual situation is that the generals of each department have their own news channels, and they do not know what the herald who entered the big tent said today, but they can still find out the news from other places.

As a rule, the barracks are not allowed to enter and leave at will, so as not to sneak in and spy on the military situation, but the actual implementation is full of loopholes, not to mention such a large-scale camp, where many troops are concentrated and stationed together.

The various tribes went in and out, and the soldiers who chopped wood also came in and out, and it was not surprising that there were any people mixed in, and the generals relied on their own eyes and ears to get the news that the commander wanted to cover up.

Guangtong Warehouse is finished, and it is naturally the Zhou army that attacked the granary, not to mention which valley these guys came from, the mountains of grain and grass turned into ashes, what should the army outside Chang'an City do?

It is also possible to transfer it from other places, but there is not much grain stored in the Guanzhong territory, otherwise there is no need to dig a Guangtong canal or set up a Guangtong warehouse to transport grain and grass.

The grain of the governor's offices of Yuan, Feng and Jing was already tight, and a lot of grain was transported to Chang'an Tun in Taicang, and now it can only be urgently transferred from the state treasury, but this takes time, and it seems that it is enough to choke.

There is a war going on in Luozhou, and there must be a shortage of food, so Shu Di can't catch up at all if you don't think about it, so you can only rely on the Hedong side to save the emergency, but the army outside Chang'an City consumes a lot of grain and grass every day, and relying on Hedong to transport grain is just a drop in the bucket.

This is still a secondary problem, even if there will not be a situation of a few days without food, but the shortage of food will inevitably lead to great confusion in the morale of the army, and it is impossible for the soldiers to go hungry and fight desperately, and this battle cannot be fought.

The only way is to attack Chang'an immediately, but the Zhou army will inevitably defend to the death, not to mention whether it can win quickly, only to say that this battle is still necessary?

"The Yang family has a good time with a genius, but let me wait and work hard, hehe."

A general chuckled softly, looked at everyone present, and he put away his smile: "In my opinion, this Sui Kingdom will be finished sooner or later, don't you want to be martyred?" ”

Another general took over the conversation: "Of course not, I think it's good to have a public price code, no matter how you say it, everyone was also the general of Zhou Guo back then, wasn't it?" ”

"Tomorrow, those few will definitely force us to attack Chang'an, and we will not be able to advance or retreat at that time..."

"So what? It's really urgent, it's a big deal to defect before the battle, don't you say? Another general smiled and said, "Anyway, there is enough grain in Taicang in Chang'an City!" (To be continued.) )
