Chapter 32 Bamboo Raft Transporting Grain
Ge Ying replied in a low voice, and with a wave of his hand, he led a few soldiers who were diligent in their hands and feet to go down and get busy, and they didn't bring many arrows when they came out in a hurry, so in order to arrange the trap, Liu Kan deliberately asked people to go to the forest to cut some bamboo, and the function of burying it in the ground was the same.
They worked until the evening to make the trap, and then quietly laid an ambush in the ditch beside them.
Probably because Chen County is now in urgent need of food, the grain transport team has been rushing non-stop even at night, so Liu Kan and the others did not wait long in the night to wait for the goal of their trip.
Everyone unconsciously held their breath, nervously watching Qin Bing fall into the trap they had laid in advance step by step.
Only to hear a shrill cow cry to break the frozen atmosphere, the night birds in the forest were also frightened, the Qin army thought that there was an enemy attack, one by one panicked and looked around, it seemed very unassertive, the general with the troops wanted to stabilize the heart of the army and went forward to check the reason for the cow's barking, during this period there were a lot of cattle tricks, among which there were soldiers with bad eyes.
The general raised his torch and approached the wounded oxen, and found that the bamboo swords had been buried under the feet of the oxen for some reason, and they were so sharp that they pierced the thick forepaw of the ox.
When the Qin army didn't know what was going on in the night, Liu Kan raised his arms and led everyone to kill them, and the big knife would bring blood wherever it went, and the Qin army didn't have time to react in the dark, but was completely attacked by the rebels, and his hands and feet were in chaos.
Under the cover of night, Liu Kan asked Ge Ying to lead the rest of the people to surround the Qin soldiers in the middle from all sides, and did not step forward but constantly made noises around, disturbing the Qin soldiers' minds so that they couldn't guess how many of them there were.
The generals of the Qin army really hit the plan, thinking that Liu Kan had brought a lot of people over, and he never dared to act rashly, and when the people around him were almost killed, the generals of the Qin soldiers ordered the rest of the people to withdraw quickly, at this time, how can they still manage those grains, and the most important thing is to be able to pick up a life!
"My lord, aren't we going to chase it?" Looking at the Qin soldiers fleeing like lost dogs, Ge Ying held a spear in his hand and said with a fierce look in his eyes, a little I don't understand why Liu Kan didn't go up to cut the grass and eradicate the roots of such a good opportunity.
Liu Kan gasped, withdrew the knife into the sheath with a "swish", and explained: "Poor Kou Mo Chase, anyway, our goal has been achieved now, you go and count how many enemies we have killed in total." ”
Ge Ying nodded and understood Liu Kan's words, and then took some people to count the dead bodies on the ground.
At this time, Liu Kan naturally would not be idle, he took a torch from the hands of the soldiers beside him expressionlessly, and walked towards the ox cart carrying grain, and when he was about to reach the ox cart, he did not stop, but climbed directly on the ox cart, half squatted down, and quickly cut the sack with the dagger in his hand, and the white rice flowed out of the broken place.
After Ge Ying finished counting the dead bodies at this time, he came to Liu Kan's side to report the battle situation, because of Liu Kan's scheme, this time they slaughtered a lot of soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and it was really a beautiful battle.
Liu Kan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, obviously very satisfied with the battle situation, jumped down from the ox cart, he casually handed the torch to Daode Ge Ying beside him, and said: "There are many more soldiers transporting grain this time than I expected, but fortunately, everyone cooperated very well, otherwise I would not be sure to hit them hard." ”
Ge Ying borrowed the torch and nodded, then thought of his side again, then turned around and pointed to the grain and grass and said to Liu Kan's back: "After those people escape, they won't call helpers, let's burn the grain and grass earlier, and go back early, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
Liu Kan turned his head and looked in the direction of Ge Ying's finger, the sack that was cut by him just now had already revealed the rice inside, Liu Kan immediately chuckled, and kicked Liu Kan next to him with his foot because he hated the iron and steel, and said: "You pig, before I came, I said that I wanted to burn the grain and grass because I was worried that the sneak attack would not be very successful, and now that we have completely driven away the Qin soldiers, this batch of grain has fallen into our hands so simply, what are you still burning?" We can ship it back and use it ourselves! ”
It just so happened that Wu Guang cut off their food supply from the rear, and when Liu Kan was most anxious, Qin Bing's grain and grass took the initiative to deliver it to the door, and he would burn it if he was a fool.
As if he had just remembered, Ge Ying patted his head depressedly and said with a smile: "What the adults said is that I am confused, but this cow has been injured by us with a bamboo sword, and I am afraid that there will be no way to go far for a while, how should we transport the grain and grass?" We can't resist two bags each. ”
How can it be possible to resist with manpower, Liu Kan's eyebrows furrowed and he was also troubled by this question, he paced back and forth a few steps, and suddenly heard some slight sound of water in this silent night, as if there was some rushing river nearby.
Almost in a second, Liu Kan thought of a solution, he grabbed Ge Ying and asked, "Is there a river around here?" ”
Ge Ying nodded, bewildered by Liu Kan's sudden behavior, but after a few seconds, he immediately reacted, his face full of surprise, "My lord said that these grains will be transported away with water?" ”
Since there is no way to go by land, the water route is undoubtedly their best choice now, in this war-torn era, it will indeed be easier to have food, even if you don't need to prepare military rations for war and distribute it to the people of Yucheng.
Liu Kan glanced at Ge Ying with a firm gaze and nodded, and then ordered the rest of the soldiers to go to the forest to cut bamboo, and simply tied some bamboo rafts with these bamboos, and then took Ge Ying and others to check the nearby river, maybe God stood on Liu Kan's side this time, the river they found was turbulent but the water level was not very deep, and it was not very far to transport grain from the place of the ox cart.
In order to transport all the grain away before Lu Ming brought the troops back, Liu Kan also actively joined the ranks of the soldiers, and in less than two hours, he set up a lot of bamboo rafts, transported all the grain to the river and put it on the bamboo raft, and then the water transported all the grain to the downstream, and Liu Kan obtained a large amount of grain and grass without much effort, which was really blessed by God.
When Lu Ming received the news and rushed over, all he saw was Qin Jun's corpse and more than a dozen ox carts lazily grazing on the side of the road.
