Chapter 426: The Red Turban Army is short of food

After occupying the innocence of Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei, the two disciples of Guanghan Palace, Liu Ji not only got four lottery chances from the system, but also completed two hidden tasks to subdue the fierce generals, and got two chances to summon top generals with a success rate of one hundred percent, and the three-dimensional value also increased by two points each, becoming a force value of 73, an intelligence value of 88, and a commander value of 58.

Liu Ji hugged Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei and couldn't help but sigh, the personal disciple of Guanghan Palace really deserved to be his great tonic pill, and his current intelligence value was almost close to that of a top Wenchen.

Liu Ji can actually feel the improvement of intelligence value, which has a very huge effect on himself, with the increase of intelligence value, his thinking logic is getting stronger and stronger, and the angle of looking at the problem is becoming more and more comprehensive.

Under Liu Ji's sweet words, Su Ruoyu and Xie Fangfei, the two stunning beauties who had just been forcibly occupied by Liu Ji, no longer cared about Tan Ruofei and Lu Yaoyi's behavior of tying them up, and then the four girls returned to the camp of the Red Turban Army with Liu Zha, Liu Di, Liu Xi and Liu Ka, four puppet bodyguards with peerless military strength.

After Su Ruoyu, Xie Fangfei, Tan Ruofei and Lu Yaoyi returned to the camp of the Red Turban Army, they told Wu Zhan, the commander of the Red Turban Army, that although Liu Ji still did not agree to lead the troops to withdraw from the big battle between the Red Turban Army and the army of the Great Jin Dynasty, Liu Ji's attitude seemed to be a little loose, and they would continue to put pressure on Liu Ji.

Wu Zan didn't think that Liu Ji would easily give in to the Guanghan Palace, so he learned that the four personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace did not convince Liu Ji and didn't care too much, Wu Zan next focused on how to cut off the grain route of the imperial army!

After Su Ruoyu, Xie Fangfei, Tan Ruofei and Lu Yaoyi left, Liu Ji immediately used up all the four systematic lottery opportunities, and the first three times were not lucky, and they got three first-class generals in the Han Dynasty, and the three-dimensional values of these three first-class generals were very average, and Liu Ji had never heard of their names.

However, the prize obtained in the fourth lottery made Liu Ji smile immediately, and he even drew another marrow washing pill, which means that Liu Ji will add another peerless general.

Then Liu Ji also used the chance of a 100% success rate in summoning top generals twice, and got Wu Tianxi and Wei Wentong, the top generals in the Sui Dynasty.

Wu Tianxi, the force value is 97, the intelligence value is 51, the commander value is 62, Wu Tianxi is strong in martial arts, so that a pair of chaotic horses, weighing two hundred catties, is Wu Yunzhao's brother, and then Yang Lin invited Wu Tianxi to guard Tianchang Pass, Wu Tianxi saw that Liang Shitai was not a good person, so he killed him first, but he didn't expect Liang Shitai to be Li Yuanba's pioneer, and then Wu Tianxi was killed by the angry Li Yuanba.

Wei Wentong, force value 97, intelligence value 63, commander value 77, Marshal Tongguan of the Sui Dynasty, nicknamed "Flower Knife Shuai" and "Nine Provinces Flower Knife General", in addition to the appearance of the three kingdoms famous general Guan Yu, also known as Saiguan Ye, after attacking Wagangzhai, was shot to death by Wang Bodang with a dark arrow.

Wu Tianxi, Wei Wentong and the three first-class generals of the Han Dynasty Liu Ji were temporarily placed in the Guards Legion after they appeared, as for the marrow washing pill, Liu Ji did not give himself a double-spear general with a force value of 99 points, Ding Yanping, but gave it to Dian Wei, the commander of the First Infantry Brigade of the Guards Legion.

Although Dian Wei's force value is only 97 points, maybe after taking the marrow washing and hair cutting pill, he will not be able to be promoted to a peerless general, but Liu Ji still did not hesitate to let Dian Wei eat this marrow washing and hair cutting pill.

Dian Wei has been summoned by Liu Ji very early, and has been following Liu Ji to fight in the south and the north, Liu Ji is still very nostalgic, and taking the marrow washing pill does not mean that the force value is only increased once, and it can continue to be improved in the environment of this world, Liu Ji believes that even if Dian Wei cannot be promoted to a peerless military general for a while, sooner or later one day he will be able to step into the ranks of peerless generals.

Unexpectedly, Dian Wei was very competitive, and after taking the Purifying Pill, he was not only promoted to a peerless general, but also his martial arts value increased by four points at once, reaching 101 points, which was stronger than the effect of Yang Zaixing taking the Purifying Pill.

Now the three top generals under Liu Ji have been promoted to peerless generals, Fan Xu's force value is 102 points, and Yang Zaixing and Dian Wei's force value is 101 points.

In addition, because Dian Wei has become a peerless general, the system also rewarded Liu Ji with a top civil servant Chen Gong.

Chen Gong, force value 55, intelligence value 95, commander value 79, the chief strategist under Lu Bu's account in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, a native of Dongwuyang, Dongjun, upright temperament, resourceful, and well-known people at home and abroad when he was young, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, died in battle during the crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, Chen Gong and others advocated that Cao Cao take over as Yanzhou pastor, so Cao Cao regarded him as a confidant, but after that, Chen Gong turned against Cao Cao because Cao Cao killed Bian Rang and other famous men in the late Han Dynasty, and lobbied Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao to welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and assisted Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao and successively obtained Yanzhou and Xuzhou, In Xiapi City, LΓΌ Bu did not listen to the complementary plan of the Chen Palace, so that he failed, and after LΓΌ Bu was defeated, he was captured by Cao Cao along with LΓΌ Bu and others, and was determined to die.

Another top Wenchen has been added, so that Liu Ji has Zhang Liang, Xiao He, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Fan Zeng, Li Ru and Chen Gong, a total of eight top Wenchen, and the lineup of this Wenchen has made Liu Ji very satisfied.

Regarding the Red Turban Army's preparation to cut off the grain route of the imperial army, Liu Ji summoned Zhang Liang, Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling, Fan Zeng, Li Ru, and Chen Gong, who had just been summoned, into his tent, and quickly formulated a set of countermeasures.

On the afternoon of December 25, 427 of the Great Jin Dynasty, the Red Turban Army secretly sent to the north of Qinhuai City, preparing to cut off the grain route of the imperial army's 50,000 elite troops, encountered an ambush by the Broken Army on the way, and the elite troops of the 50,000 Red Turban Army were finally almost wiped out, nearly 15,000 people were killed in battle, and 35,000 people saw that there was no hope of breaking through and chose to surrender, and only less than 1,000 people escaped from the cavalry pursuit of the Broken Army.

This was not the only bad news for the Red Turban Army, as soon after the 50,000 elite troops who were ready to cut off the grain routes of the imperial army were wiped out, Wu Zhan, the commander of the Red Turban Army, received the news that one of his own grain transport teams had been robbed.

On the evening of December 26, in a tent in the camp of the Red Turban Army in the south outside Qinhuai City, Wu Zan said to dozens of Red Turban Army generals with a gloomy face: "You should have learned that the 50,000 people we sent to prepare to cut off the grain route of the imperial army were ambushed by the Broken Army, and only a few hundred escaped back. It's the same strategy as we did! ”

At this time, Chen Hongxin, the deputy commander of the more than 800,000 Red Turban Army here in Qinhuai City, frowned and said: "How could the Broken Army know that our Red Turban Army sent a force of 50,000 elites to cut off the grain route of the imperial army, and also set up an ambush in advance?" You must know that in order to keep it secret, these 50,000 troops chose to bypass Qinhuai City, could it be that the whereabouts of these 50,000 elites were discovered by the scouts of the Broken Army? ”

Wu Zan sighed and said: "We have transferred 50,000 elites from more than 800,000 troops, after all, the movement is not small, and it is normal to be discovered by the scouts of the Broken Army, now I am worried about the safety of our own grain routes, the cavalry of the Broken Army has strong mobility, if the Broken Army really wants to cut off the grain routes of our Red Turban Army, then there will be trouble!" ”

Wu Zan would not have thought that the reason why the elite of the 50,000 Red Turban Army would be almost wiped out was because the four personal disciples of the Guanghan Palace told Liu Ji the march route of the elite of the 50,000 Red Turban Army.

After a pause, Wu Zan continued: "And the cavalry of the Broken Army is not just as simple as cutting off our grain route this time, Hengjing County and Mudu County on the left and right of Qinhuai City, most of the area was originally controlled by our Red Turban Army, but now there are traces of a large number of cavalry of the Broken Army in these occupied areas, and there are two county towns that have been attacked by the cavalry of the Broken Army, and they have now changed hands, and they are all occupied by the cavalry of the Broken Army. ”

Zhang Qian, the first fierce general and the most important strategist under Wu Zhan, said at this time: "Great Marshal, it seems that the Broken Army and even the various armies of the imperial court may have given up the strong attack on the various camps of our Red Turban Army outside Qinhuai City, and chose to take advantage of the cavalry advantage of the Broken Army to attack the control area of our Red Turban Army in a roundabout way, and even the cavalry of the Broken Army will try to cut off the grain route of our hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army. ”

Wu Zan asked Zhang Qian, "Then what do you think we should do next?" ”

Zhang Qian pondered for a while and said: "The cavalry of the Broken Turban Army is not suitable for attacking the city, and the two lost county towns are also because of a sneak attack, and the infantry of the Broken Army, as well as other troops of the imperial court, should not leave Qinhuai City here, after all, the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Red Turban Army outside Qinhuai City are not decorations, as long as our Red Turban Army is not completely defeated here in Qinhuai City, the Broken Army only dispatched cavalry, and the threat to the county capital and county seat that our Red Turban Army has captured is not a big threat." ”

Wu Zhan, Chen Hongxin, and dozens of other generals of the Red Turban Army all nodded in agreement after listening to Zhang Qian's analysis.

Then Zhang Qian suddenly showed a helpless expression and said: "The biggest threat to the cavalry of the Broken Army to our hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army soldiers is that the cavalry of the Broken Army may really succeed in cutting off the food supply of our hundreds of thousands of Red Turban Army soldiers!" People are iron, food is steel, once our hundreds of thousands of Red Turban soldiers run out of food, then everything will be over! ”

Wu Zan gritted his teeth and said: "The food in our camps is still enough for the whole army to eat for eight or nine days, and we must find a way to keep our grain supply!" ”

Zhang Qian sighed and said: "The 150,000 reinforcements sent by His Royal Highness King Yue are about to arrive here in Qinhuai City, along with these 150,000 reinforcements, there is also a batch of grain and grass, with this batch of grain and grass, we can hold on for ten more days and half a month, in the face of the mobile cavalry of the Broken Army, the only way for his subordinates to come up with to keep the grain route is to send a large number of troops to escort the grain transportation team, but in this way, the loss on the way to transport the grain will definitely increase a lot, and it is impossible to avoid the attack of the cavalry of the Broken Army." ”

Wu Zan nodded and said: "We don't have cavalry, if we want to keep the grain route, it seems that this is the only way, fortunately, the 150,000 reinforcements sent by His Royal Highness the King of Yue this time have transported a lot of grain along the way, and our hundreds of thousands of troops will not be short of food in a short time." ”

Wu Zan still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Broken Army, thinking that there would be no problem with 150,000 troops protecting the grain and grass, but when the reinforcements of the Red Turban Army arrived, Wu Zan was dumbfounded.

The 150,000 Red Turban Army reinforcements who came from Suzhou arrived in Qinhuai City, and when they arrived in Qinhuai City, there were less than 60,000 left, and the nearly 60,000 Red Turban Army were almost hungry enough, and the grain and grass they carried were gone.

It turned out that the reinforcements of the 150,000 Red Turban Army were attacked by the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Legion of the Broken Army on the way, although the First Cavalry Brigade of the Grassland Army only dispatched three battalions, about 24,000 cavalry, but the whole battle was basically one-sided, and the 150,000 Red Turban Army was not an opponent at all under the impact of 24,000 cavalry of the Broken Army. It just added some casualties to the cavalry of the Broken Army.

Thanks to the fact that there was a mountain on one side of the battlefield at that time, nearly 60,000 Red Turban troops fled to the mountains to avoid the annihilation of the whole army, and the remaining 90,000 people, more than 23,000 people died under the iron hooves of the cavalry of the Broken Army, and almost 67,000 people surrendered obediently, and finally only lost three cavalry battalions of the First Cavalry Brigade of the Steppe Army of less than 2,000 people, holding 67,000 prisoners of war of the Red Turban Army, as well as a large amount of grain and grass, and left with a swagger.

There were also two inner disciples and seven outer disciples in the Guanghan Palace, who died in the chaos in this battle, but they were not captured alive.

The arrival of reinforcements not only did not bring food, but also added nearly 60,000 mouths, which made Wu Zhan, the commander of the Red Turban Army, suddenly panic.

At noon on December 28, in a tent in the Red Turban Army camp in the south outside Qinhuai City, Wu Zan picked up his wine glass, reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Welcome Elder Wu, Elder Wen, as well as Miss Liu and Miss Lu, Wu Someone toasts the four of you." ”

At this time, Wu Changlin and Wen Lurui, the elders of Guanghan Palace in the tent, as well as Liu Yueting and Lu Xueshan, the personal disciples of Guanghan Palace, all had a slightly embarrassed expression, after all, this time they came with 150,000 Red Turban Army reinforcements, but as a result, less than 60,000 of the 150,000 reinforcements were now left, and a large amount of grain and grass were lost, and even the commander of the 150,000 Red Turban Army reinforcements died under the iron hooves of the cavalry of the Broken Army in the battle.

Wu Changlin, the elder of Guanghan Palace, coughed, and said with some embarrassment: "General Wu, this time we were careless, we didn't expect that the cavalry of the Broken Army would dare to attack the 150,000 Red Turban Army, although we have many masters in the Guanghan Palace among the 150,000 reinforcements, but in the face of tens of thousands of cavalry of the Broken Army, we also have no way to resist, and the Guanghan Palace also lost two inner disciples and seven outer disciples this time. ”
