Because of the shortage of food in the battalion, the grain collected in the rear is immediately transported, and there are dozens of grain transport teams in the entire grain road, if the three thousand cavalry go down, each grain transport team is not divided into 200 people, so it is naturally not possible, Yuan Taizuo had to order the rear to suspend the grain transport, and then escort the grain transport team together after concentrating, so that the escort can reach the strongest and ensure safety.

Goguryeo gathered the grain transport team, and the 5,000 cavalry led by Zhang Shou had nothing to do for a while, so they went deep into the rear to burn and loot, making a mess of Goguryeo's grain collection action, and the Goguryeo cavalry had the intention to conquer and suppress, but the number was too small, so they could only ask the big camp for help.

It's just that Yuan Taizuo has a headache and that's not all, Yu Zhongwen didn't put all his hopes on cutting off the military rations of the two armies of Silla and Goguryeo, and after sending Zhang Shou to loot the grain, the next day, the army of the Sui army also began to move, and launched a fierce attack on the Silla camp.

After several months of construction, the Goguryeo camp can be said to be a deep ditch to avoid the fortress, the trap is heavy, if you want to attack, the loss of the Sui army may not be under the siege, but the Silla army did not go ashore for a long time, and after the counterattack, the original camp was discarded, and had to build a new camp, standing at the angle with Goguryeo, compared to the Goguryeo military camp, the camp of the Silla people can be said to be extremely simple, as soon as the Sui army attacked, Silla felt extremely difficult, and had to ask Goguryeo for help.

Yuan Taizuo had no choice but to send more than 10,000 cavalry to assist Silla to defend the camp, and the Sui army fought every day, the Sui army did not entangle much, saw the Goguryeo cavalry dispatched, the small battle retreated, the Goguryeo cavalry had the intention to chase, but the total number of cavalry was far less than the Sui army, just give up, so that hundreds of people were killed and wounded every day, more than ten days later, the Goguryeo cavalry actually injured more than 2,000 people, Yuan Taizuo could not take out a spare soldier to conquer the Sui army in the rear.

On this day, the soldier had just finished breakfast. Due to the shortage of military rations, the supply of food has been limited, the soldiers can only eat one and a half full, after eating, the morale of the camp is still low, many soldiers scolded and scolded, Yuan Taizuo patrolled the camp again, his heart was extremely worried, and he couldn't help but sigh when he returned to the tent.

A soldier brought a wooden plate and placed it on the table: "My lord, let's eat something." ”

Yuan Taizuo looked at the wooden plate on the table. I saw a bowl of rice on the plate, and a small bowl of horse meat, these days with the Sui army to fight a lot of horses every day, Yuan Taizuo saw horse meat. I had no appetite, but I thought that ordinary soldiers couldn't even eat brown rice, so I reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, pulled a few mouthfuls of rice and ate it, and when the chopsticks were placed in the bowl of horse meat. I couldn't help but tumble in my stomach, put down my chopsticks, and said, "That's it." Let's take it. ”

"Yes." The soldier took the horse's meat as he was told. As soon as he got out of the camp tent, Yuan Taizuo had already heard the sound of several pro-soldiers sharing meat to eat, and he couldn't help but sigh again in his heart, now even his pro-soldiers can't eat enough, and he doesn't know when the grain in the rear will be able to be transported, and now the big camp can still support seven days, if there is no military food after seven days. I can only slaughter horses and eat them. "Newspaper. Lord Mo Lizhi, Princess Silla has sent someone to ask for food again. A soldier was outside.

Yuan Taizuo was furious: "Tell them." There is no food, and if the food arrives, the official will give it to them according to the preface. ”

Silla, after Goguryeo reached a four-six-point division of grain that day, the next day the Goguryeo grain transportation team was robbed by the Sui army, and naturally not a grain of grain was distributed to Silla, but Silla let Goguryeo implement this article in the agreement to be paid on the same day, Goguryeo's grain storage was even less than Silla, and how could Yuan Taizuo be willing to pay, the two sides could only argue.

"Yes, villain understands." The pro-soldier heard that Yuan Taizuo's tone was not good, and he had already fulfilled his responsibilities, so naturally he would not persuade him, and went directly to refuse to the Silla people.

Not long after the soldiers went down, the general Gao Yanshou walked in: "Lord Mo Lizhi, the Sui army has begun to attack the Silla camp again, will our cavalry be dispatched immediately?" ”

Yuan Taizuo was annoyed that the Silla people were urging food just now, and said, "No need, wait and see." ”

Gao Yanshou "Oh. With a sigh, he found a place to sit down in the camp tent and stopped speaking, Gao Yanshou was numb to the Sui army's daily attacks, anyway, there were still more than 50,000 people in the Silla camp, and it was impossible for it to collapse in a while.

The shouts of killing outside came clearly, getting louder and louder, and Yuan Taizuo was worried that if the Silla camp was breached, Goguryeo would have to fight alone.

"General Gao, let's lead the troops to fight immediately." Yes, the last will be complied with. Gao Yanshou got up and walked out, and after a while, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the sound of tearing and killing gradually faded away, Yuan Taizuo knew that after the Sui army saw the Goguryeo army dispatching, it must have retreated alternately, luring his own cavalry to pursue, if his cavalry did not pursue, the other party would definitely rain arrows, and if it was pursued, it would cost hundreds of horses.

"Smack." Yuan Taizuo hit the table hard with the palm of his hand, and when the military rations arrived, he would launch a decisive battle against the Sui army no matter what, as long as the Sui army on the south bank was defeated, the army would immediately retreat.

"Hurry, hurry." On the plain, a huge convoy appeared, flanked by 3,000 heavily armed Goguryeo cavalry, and as the convoy moved slowly, some soldiers urged the local people to speed up from time to time.

In front of the convoy, a 30-year-old Goguryeo general was covered in armor, his eyes looked ahead, revealing a trace of anxiety, this general was the chief general in charge of escorting grain and grass this time, Yuan Taiqi, he was Yuan Taizuo's own brother.

This time, 20,000 stone of military rations were looted, as long as these grains were transported to the battalion, the battalion could support at least another twenty days or so, in order to find enough food, Yuan Taiqi also robbed the military rations sent to the Hufeiling Pass, if the battalion collapsed, what was the use of holding Hufeiling?

This place is only about a hundred miles away from the camp, and according to the footsteps, there are still three days to reach the camp. Yuan Taiqi didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he clearly knew that there was a Sui cavalry that broke into the rear and was playing with his idea of this grain team, although he didn't know the specific number of the other party, but from the intelligence point of view, the number of the other party was not less than thousands.

"Report, my lord, I didn't find it in front, it's very safe." A scout sweating profusely came to Yuan Taiqi, who had been traveling for dozens of miles.

Yuan Taiqi bowed his head slightly and encouraged: "Okay, continue to investigate, don't slack off." ”

"Yes, sir." The scout jumped off his horse, and despite all his sweat, jumped on the back of another horse, which had not undergone intense movement, and galloped forward again.

This grain team is related to the life and death of the entire coalition army, if it is robbed, the rear will not be able to get even one-third of the grain in ten days, Yuan Taiqi naturally knows the consequences, in order to prevent being ambushed by the Sui army, Yuan Taiqi sent hundreds of people to serve as scouts, and the scouts are scattered as far away as more than 20 miles.

In the dense forest, the red armor can be faintly seen to reflect the light of the earth, this dense forest is five or six miles away from the official road through which the Goguryeo grain team will pass, and the scouts of Goguryeo appear on the official road from time to time, searching on both sides, and still not finding the foothold of the Sui army, after all, the number of scouts in Goguryeo is still limited, and it is already remarkable to be able to search the dense forest three or four miles away on both sides of the official road.

The dull sound of hooves sounded, and the experienced soldiers knew that there were cavalry with horse's hooves approaching him, Zhang Shou raised the binoculars and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw two knights in black armor, although the armor of these two people was almost exactly the same as the armor of the Goguryeo people, Zhang Shou still recognized that it was the scout he had sent, and immediately put down the binoculars.

After a while, two people dressed as Goguryeo scouts came to Zhang Shou's side: "Report, general, the grain transportation team is only ten miles away from here. ”

Ten miles, almost half an hour's journey, but it is difficult to say, if you walk for a while and rest for a while, an hour is also possible, Zhang Shou waved his hand and ordered backwards: "Pass the order, start moving forward." ”

There was a burst of agitation in the dense forest, the Sui army stood up one by one, leading their horses to move forward, the best distance for a cavalry raid is within one mile, otherwise it will lose the meaning of the raid, but because Yuan Taiqi sent too many scouts, the main force of the Sui army must not be far away from the main road, and now at a critical moment, it is natural to shorten the distance of the raid.

Although all the Sui troops tried to be as cautious as possible, it was just that due to the large number of people, there was an accident, "Bang." "A warhorse accidentally crashed into a tree, knocking the small tree with a thick bowl mouth and staggering.

On the official road, two patrolling Goguryeo scouts suddenly stopped, looking at the small trees shaking in the dense forest a few miles away, with a puzzled look in their eyes, one scout left the road without hesitation and ran towards the dense forest where the small trees swayed, and the other scout stood on the road and watched.

"Whew!" A long arrow flew out of the grass, the Goguryeo man covered his throat with his hand, made a few sounds of Yiyi, and fell to the ground with a bang, the war horse arched the master's body with his mouth in confusion, I don't know why the master fell down, two figures quickly drilled out of the grass, one held the reins of the war horse, and the other carried the body to the horse, and then swept the ground with a branch, and hurriedly withdrew from the official road.

The Goguryeo scout who got off the official road didn't know anything about what was happening behind, his spirit was tightly locked in front of him, and soon after he marched, there was another "boom", and he also fell off the horse inexplicably, and there was no trace of the two scouts just now on the official road.
