Chapter 51: Rushing to the Grain and Grass
So, Yang Mu summoned a few soldiers and a few captured enemy generals and asked about some information.
Sure enough, as he expected, Chen Shou led an army of 10,000 to garrison Anluo City, and the main task was to watch over the grain and grass, and rush to the front line to support if necessary, and the reason why the grain and grass were placed by the river was because it could be loaded directly onto the ship and transported to Shencheng!
"Your Majesty, according to the confessions of several generals, the siege of Shen Kingdom is just over the next few days, and the situation is urgent," Wei Zhongquan stepped forward to report, his face full ......of worry.
Yang Mu nodded, time is indeed running out, six days have passed since the envoys of the Shen State asked for help, and Zheng Han, who was far away on the front line, must have stepped up the layout, and the siege battle is in these days.
And with the current situation of Shen City, it is absolutely impossible to resist tens of thousands of troops.
"Your Majesty, there is no time to delay, the minister immediately led an elite army to burn the grain and grass! Don't be transported away overnight by those bitches! Qu Yong hurriedly said.
"Burned?" Yang Mu pondered for a moment and said lightly: "Doesn't General Qu want to take it over?" ”
Qu Yong was stunned: "Take it?" ”
"This time, the five thousand soldiers of my Cangguo country have limited grain and grass to go out, and if this continues, the soldiers will be hungry in a few days.
"However, we are about to transfer to Shencheng to support, where will we put this grain and grass after we take it?"
Qu Yong was puzzled, everyone likes grain and grass, but what to do with it after taking it? You can't let the soldiers escort you, right? If this is the case, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reach Shencheng every three to five days.
Hearing this, Yang Mu and Wei Zhongquan looked at each other and said, "What do you generals...... How about the Rogue Mountains? ”
"Bandit Mountains...... Wonderful! Wonderful! Qu Yong's mind turned, and he also figured out the key to it, and said: "This time, the thirteen villages of the bandits have formed a team of 6,000 people, and they will be able to enter the battlefield immediately, and they will go with us to support Shencheng. ”
Wei Zhongquan nodded: "Your analysis is good, we will take some dry food on the road, and hand over the prisoners of war and the remaining grain and grass to the bandit Thirteen Villages to take care of, and there will be no worries." ”
Immediately, the monarch and ministers agreed that led by Wei Zhongquan would lead Wen Fei, Zhang Han, and Li Yu to rush to the land of grain and grass, and act at the opportunity, even if they can't take the grain and grass, they must burn it clean with fire!
The rest of the soldiers were ordered to rest overnight, and after dawn tomorrow, the army would be mobilized.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
Three thousand soldiers marched together, and it was an undisguised march, and the commotion was very large.
The peasant households in the countryside did not know the situation, and hid in their houses in horror, and when they passed by, in a huge village, they did not see a family lighting the lamp, and they could not even hear the barking of dogs.
The place where the grain and grass were hoarded was ten miles away, and the soldiers hurried for half an hour to arrive.
However, the enemy troops who were guarding the grain and grass had already taken a defensive posture.
Moreover, a small number of people were carrying cloth bags on their backs and carrying them to the ship.
Wei Zhongquan sat on his horse, called the scout to probe, and immediately ordered: "The enemy has discovered our traces, the 5,000-strong team is close, throwing torches to burn grain and grass, and the rest of the people are retreating!" ”
"Back off?" Wen Fei of the 3,000-person team was puzzled and asked.
"Let the enemy think that we only have a thousand men, lure them out to meet them, fool!" Zhang Han of the 4,000-person team scolded angrily.
"I ......"
Wei Zhongquan frowned: "Okay, okay, let's go back and fight again, now hurry up and carry out the order!" ”
Hearing this, the two thousand-man generals waved the order flag in their hands one after another, and commanded the soldiers of their team to retreat down the hillside, while Li Yu led the 5,000-person team, lit torches, and rushed to the grain and grass camp.
"Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the grain and grass camp was in turmoil, and they all set up defenses, and they had the determination to fight to the death.
But immediately they felt that something was wrong, and these attacking enemy troops, who had no intention of fighting, all threw torches at the grain and grass!
Oh my God, if the grain and grass are burned, it will be a capital crime!
The soldiers were frightened and rushed to extinguish the fire one by one.
"Damn! Is this the Cangguo army...... "Thousands of people scolded Li Li with a black face, he has led troops for more than ten years, experienced more than a dozen battles large and small, but he has never faced a similar number of enemy troops, and there is a feeling of facing thousands of troops.
It seems that each and every one of them is an elite.
They...... Aren't you afraid of death?
But immediately, he put his mind at ease, glanced at the battlefield, and slightly estimated that the enemy army was only a thousand people, and there were more than 1,500 people on his side, and the victory or defeat was not yet known.
"Pass the order, leave a few people to extinguish the fire, and the rest rush forward and fight the enemy to the death!" Li Li's order was given.
Zheng Guo's soldiers gathered one after another, formed a phalanx, and advanced towards the Cangguo army.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a loud roar that shook the night sky came from behind the hillside, and an army rushed out!
In terms of size, there are almost two thousand people!
"Oops, it's a trick!" In the rear, Li Li, who commanded the array, was shocked, and hurriedly Mingjin withdrew his troops and recalled the soldiers to stick to the camp.
But it was too late, and the soldiers who rushed out were divided into two ways, one team joined the battlefield, and the other team rushed directly towards the grain and grass camp.
Finished......
Li Li shouted in his heart, his heart like ashes.
……
As soon as the sky was hazy, Yang Mu woke up.
It's woken up.
Wei Zhongquan led 3,000 soldiers, each carrying a large bag of grain and grass, majestic, high-spirited, and returned to the camp in a noisy manner.
You don't have to think about it to know that it's another big win.
Ten miles of land, for these civilian-born soldiers, can only be regarded as ordinary, but because they are carrying a large bag of grain, many soldiers are still very tired, and when they return to the camp, they fall asleep directly on the grain and grass.
Under the service of the eunuch with him, Yang Mu put on his clothes and boots and walked out of the handsome tent.
Outside, it was cold.
The morning light was faint, and if it weren't for the fact that there were pools of blood in the distance, no one could have seen that there had been a big battle here last night.
Fortunately, the enemy did not enter the camp, but did not smell any blood.
On one side of the camp, there were piles of cloth bags, on which were sleeping soldiers.
Yang Mu suddenly understood.
"See Your Majesty!" A group of patrolling soldiers passed by and saluted.
"How long has it been since you came back, brothers who escorted the grain and grass?" Yang Mu asked.
"It's been half an hour since I returned to Your Majesty."
Yang Mu nodded: "Let everyone rest for a while, ask Huotoujun to boil some ginger soup and white porridge, the humidity is heavy in the morning, let the brothers drink it later." ”
"Yes!"
"By the way, bring Chen Shou here, I have something to ask."
"Yes!"
