Chapter 211: Riding the Tide (17)

Chapter 211

Recently, when they were ready to descend the mountain, the carpenters had already built more than 100 horse-drawn sleighs, which could provide Childe Madara as a means of transportation. This provides great convenience for Beacon Hill to transport enough grain and grass. However, there are not many horses in Gongziban, they are all captured by the Qi army, and the horses that have been idle for almost a winter have also come in handy, and they have a place to exert their strength.

Moreover, the soldiers who did not know how to ski, now with horse-drawn sleighs, also helped them, and could take horse-drawn sleds and pull them away. Horse-drawn sleds have also become a good tool for transporting troops. Without these tools, it would be difficult to transport the loot back to Beacon Hill. It's much more convenient with a horse-drawn sleigh.

The heavy snow on the road was sliding back and forth by their sleds, and it was already very strong. The horses don't have to sink deep when they walk on it. The horse's hooves fell down two or three inches at most. The horses walk more or less normally. A horse pulls about 300 catties, just like playingYes, the horse is not tired, and the people are not tired, but the soldiers who carry grain to the mountains are more tired.

Childe Madara: They arrived at the place of Tangfu. 500 soldiers who could ski replaced 1,000 soldiers who could ski. And left them ten horse-drawn sleighs. The remaining soldiers only had to deliver food to the foot of Beacon Hill every day. Defense is basically not needed, but you can't let your guard down either,

The soldiers guarding Beacon Hill went down the mountain and carried grain up the mountain. Childe Madara asked Tie Dan that the soldiers who went down the mountain to carry food every day should not be less than 2,000 people. Stop the lumberjacks when you want them, and that's when thousands of people go down the mountain. They also went down the mountain to carry grain. After all, it was too much effort to transport grain up the mountain. Now the people on the mountain don't have to work hard to go down, it's still okay, and a few more people can carry food. The people in the vicinity can also mobilize to carry food, and the people in difficulty can subsidize a little food. If the family has enough to eat, you can subsidize a little money to them. Don't let them do it in vain, and the enthusiasm will be raised,

Childe Madara arranged the work of this place in Tangfu, and then continued to lead the troops to set off. Now his team is 4,500 people, because there are horse-drawn sleds, people who can't ski take horse-drawn sleds, and they don't be late for long, and the soldiers who can ski will arrive at Gushan in ten minutes, and the soldiers who take horse-drawn sleds will be at most half an hour late than walking.

When he arrived at the place of Gushan, Gongziban left ten horse-drawn sleds on Gushan. They sent Gushan's grain to Tangfu, and they couldn't leave a pound of grain and grass. Gongziban estimates that they can't transport all the grain and grass in Gushan, and the grain and grass from other cities should also be able to be transported, so we have them to transport it to Tangfu. Gushan has become a grain and grass turnover station. And so they went up to the mountains one by one. It is estimated that the speed will also be fast.

If there is too much grain and grass in each city. In case the grain depot of Gushan could not be filled, they sent it directly to Tangfu, or directly to Beacon Mountain. No matter how much grain and grass is collected on the other side of Beacon Hill, there is no problem, after all, they have built so many houses. At that time, Beacon Hill was destroyed by Qing's father thirteen villages, all of which were built, and the Qi army first entered Beacon Mountain, and before they had time to destroy the houses, it snowed heavily.

The houses in the thirteen villages are still there, but which one of them cannot store grain? If there is really no place to put food, it means that their grain can be eaten for more than a year.

Yes, they just formulated a very powerful plan: to seize the military rations of the Qi army, this plan was not there at the beginning, it was a plan that was gradually formed with the development of the army and the progress of the war, but the specific amount of grain stored by the Qi military in various places, Gongzi Ban did not know, but it was only an estimate, the specific number, can only capture one city. Take away the grain and grass of a city. Then you have specific numbers.

Gongzi Ban's original plan was to capture the fifteen towns of Qi State. It is to seize the food of fifteen towns, and the average number of soldiers guarding each town is about 2,000. The police have enough food and grass to store for about four months. Because in the winter, it is necessary to store enough grain and grass. Each person is calculated at one pound and two taels a day. The grain stored by a person in four months is about 150 catties. According to the calculation of 2,000 people, the weight of a town's storage is about 300,000 catties.

This is a more accurate, of course, if some cities are the storage places of the Qi army's military rations, it is difficult to say how much the specific grain is, and some are military rations that are stored for tens of thousands of people for several years, and the estimated numbers are quite scary, and Gongzi Ban will make a fortune.

Based on the normal number, let's say 15 cities are captured. The stored grain should be about 4.5 million catties. Beacon Hill now has almost 20,000 people eating every day. It consumes more than 20,000 catties of grain every day. Fifteen cities had enough food for more than 200 days. The problem of eating is basically solved. Don't worry about anything.

Even when it's time for the autumn harvest, it's not a problem. Therefore, Gongzi Madara's goal is to capture 15 cities in the Qi Kingdom. It is to seize the rations of the defenders of 15 cities. If you don't want anything else, it's military rations. Anyway, now the snow is very heavy, and the large army can't move, his skiers are invincible, and the Qi army can't crack the skiers, even Gongzi Madara himself doesn't know what the nemesis of the skiers is, and the ancients don't know.

seized their fifteen cities, and there is a very big advantage, he can have the upper hand at the negotiation table, I am not afraid that you are a big country, your land is in my hands, the Qi army is not qualified to put forward conditions, only Gongzi Ban can put forward exchange conditions, the Qi army is at most bargaining, Gongzi Ban can fight for quite favorable terms with himself, and the favorable terms are to ensure that Beacon Hill can survive. It's a good thing to get fame and fortune with one stone. Can Madara Childe not do that?

Of course, you have to be able to do so. You simply can't do this without the ability. It's also in vain, how easy is it to attack 15 cities and conquer them completely? If cities are so easy to fight, a country will be destroyed quickly. As long as you look at your plan, strategy, and combat capability, if you don't have a solid plan and correct strategy, even if you have a strong combat capability, you will not be able to achieve your goal.

Isn't there just a few thousand skiers in Childe Madara now? This was the most advanced combat unit in the entire Spring and Autumn Period, with several thousand ski soldiers. It is the power that others can't crack, and with the best strategy, you can be invincible. Before they have a solution, they must win as many victories as possible.
