The weather is getting colder, late autumn is about to pass, and in another half a month, it is already close to early winter.
In winter, it is icy and snowy, the snow is falling, the north wind is like a knife, and it is cold to the bone, which is not suitable for siege warfare, so the Tang army in the city knows very well that as long as it sticks to the last period of time, the Dahua army will not be able to conquer the city, and it will enter the stage of strategic stalemate, and it is a matter of time before the troops retreat.
Xu Shiji, Hou Junji and others naturally knew that there was not much time left for them to attack the city, so they increased the siege every day, with artillery fire flying and crossbow arrows pouring down, completely enveloping the city and crushing the Tang army again and again.
However, the Tang army was brave and tenacious, resisting siege battles again and again, so that Jinyang City stood tall and never conquered.
There is no shortage of food in the army for the time being, because there is still surplus food in Taigu City. However, in order to lure Li Xuanba's green forest people into the game, Luo Zhaoyun kept discharging scouts and stepped up to send information about the army's lack of food to the Luoyang area, so that the granary in the rear must send a batch of grain and grass as soon as possible, otherwise the army will not be able to spend the winter on the front line of Taiyuan County.
"Poof!"
Li Xuanba killed a Chinese army scout with a sword, and took out an urgent letter sealed with fire paint from him, and after seeing the dispatch content inside, he paid special attention to it.
"The Dahua army on the front line, finally there is a shortage of food and grass, as long as we intercept the next heavy grain and grass team, no matter what, we can't let them escort them to the front line, then the Dahua army will naturally retreat because there is no rice to cook, and when the time comes, the Tang army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and maybe be able to crush this Dahua main force."
Wang Haidao, the leader of a green forest hero, said: "Li Gongzi, is it possible that we will be able to deal a heavy blow to the Dahua army after we finish the next vote?" ”
Li Xuanba nodded and said: "Yes, that's almost what it means, we are fighting guerrillas in the rear, as long as we cut off the grain and grass, it is equivalent to choking the throat of the front-line army, making it difficult for them to exert their strength, unless they use tens of thousands of horses to escort the grain and grass, otherwise, it will not have much impact on us, even if there are 10,000 armor soldiers, in the middle of the night, we can calmly kill it, destroy the grain and grass, and severely damage the baggage team." ”
Wang Hai said with a smile: "That's right, just like last time, three thousand guards and armor, and some baggage coachmen, etc., were slaughtered by hundreds of us, like wolves into the sheepfold, at night, they always have to rest and sleep, the team is scattered, as long as they do not form a formation, under the smear, it is absolutely beneficial for us people in the green forest." ”
Li Xuanba turned around and said to several other Green Forest leaders and sect swordsmen: "We must seize this opportunity to intercept this batch of grain and grass, even if it is burned out, we will not leave it for the Chinese army." ”
More than 20 people nodded, their eyes were firm, with a ruthless energy, they were all outlaws, fierce people, and they were full of fierce atmosphere.
.........
The land of mountains, the trail of sheep's intestines.
Luo Zhaoyun rode a horse with more than 1,000 people, bypassed several mountains, did not take the official road, and walked more than 100 miles, just to avoid Li Xuanba's attention.
He took this group of people with him, all of whom were hard hands in the rivers and lakes, as well as agents of Qingyingwei.
Shen Guang and Gu Qingshuang are each responsible for a team, the former trains people in the rivers and lakes, and the latter builds Qingyingwei, and this time they will act together.
Luo Zhaoyun also has a group of internal guards by his side, all of whom are martial arts warriors in the army, and they act as personal guards in a disciplined manner, and they are all hard hands with one as ten.
"Drive-"
Everyone rode their horses and galloped wildly, and rushed to the granary in the rear, not directly back to Luoyang, because it was too far away, they only arrived in the area of Anyi City, Hedong, where a batch of grain and grass was gathered and wanted to continue to the front line of Taiyuan County.
A general here, when he saw the general order taken out by Luo Zhaoyun, although he didn't know which general it was, he had Shi Danai's dispatch token, and immediately obeyed the dispatch.
This time, the grain protection team has expanded to 5,000 people, with a lot of crossbows and gunpowder, and many elites have joined it.
The more than 1,000 people led by Luo Zhaoyun also changed into ordinary armor uniforms and traveled with the team.
"Will Li Xuanba take the bait this time?" Gu Qingshuang asked.
Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "It should be, this is his last chance, once he cuts this batch of grain and grass, he feels that it may be possible to restrain the Chinese army on the front line, this is a strategic choice, he is not allowed not to take the bait, unless he is indifferent and does not want this fighter." Now it is not us who is anxious, but the situation of the Tang Army. ”
"That's right, even if he is a little suspicious, he won't miss the opportunity in vain!"
"Yes, let's wait for him to enter the urn!" Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly, patted the hilt of the sword lightly, the sword had been sharpened, just waiting to kill the enemy and drink blood.
The team moved forward little by little, and at the same time sent many scouts, such as woodcutters and hunters, into the mountains to investigate the movement.
There are scouts who can reply to the message in time, indicating that they have not yet encountered the ambush, and when one day, the scouts sent dozens of miles away in front have not heard from them, Luo Zhaoyun knew that the scouts may have been discovered and killed, so they have slowly approached Li Xuanba and the others.
"Give the order to go down, go slowly, and set up camp at the foot of the mountain near twenty miles away when it is dark, near the river."
Luo Zhaoyun gave the order, arranged properly, and the army marched slowly, and at the same time, he deliberately left a thousand elites, hiding in the forest, waiting for the camp to be surrounded in the middle of the night, waiting for encirclement and suppression.
At the same time, Shen Guang also broke away from the team on the way and lurked, waiting for the night to be dispatched.
The procession of thousands of men continued on its way until it approached the established garrison area, and then stopped.
At this moment, dusk came, and the soldiers began to set up camp, fetch water and make fires, cook and cook, set up tents, and get busy.
Luo Zhaoyun wore the clothes and armor of an ordinary lieutenant, handed over the layout of the camp to a general who escorted him, and asked him to disperse the grain and grass in four directions according to the requirements, and the horses were also taken away from afar, so as not to be expelled by people at night, and a horse to step on the company camp.
Layers of camp layout, layers of sentry posts can be arranged, for vigilance.
In several grain and grass areas, in the camp tents there, there were a few mixed in, and the people of the Qingying Guard were planted, fully armed at night, waiting for a counterattack to kill.
Night is coming little by little, the sky has gradually dyed black, the autumn wind is slaughtering, whistling and cold, the layout of the camp has been completed, just waiting for Li Xuanba to bring the people of the green forest into the urn.
