Chapter 465: Grain and Grass Crisis
After King Yan finished explaining, before he rested, Puyang came to report, saying that Dongping Town transported 100,000 stone grain and grass to Puyang, and never thought that His Royal Highness had already sent out the army, so the grain team turned to Muye to transport it!
"This Lu Yan, there is a bit of a deviation in the calculation of the time for transporting grain!"
King Yan was displeased: "Summons He Qi and asks him to send a team of men to answer!" ”
"Your Highness, the old man feels that something is wrong!" Han Mingzhen was suspicious: "You haven't given the order to transport grain and grass yet, why can Lu Yan do it himself?" ”
"What do you mean, sir?"
"Isn't there something wrong with Dongping Town? Otherwise, why did he bring grain and grass in advance? ”
Han Mingzhen's words were intentional, but Lu Yan was one of the humerus clans under the command of King Yan, although there was a mistake in Yecheng, but Lu Yan was cautious, since he was sent to Dongping Town, King Yan had the heart to take care of him, so he smiled: "Mr. is suspicious, Lu Yan lost the battle in Yecheng and bears his guilt, he must know it in his heart, and he will definitely not repeat the same sin!" ”
"I hope it will be as His Highness thinks!"
Zhongmu, Qin Yi listened to the military report under his command, his heart was restless, if he was given another day, he would be able to break through Muye, let Hou lead the army to garrison Muye, repair the walled city, at that time, even if King Yan led a million troops to come, he was able to hold on, but it backfired, King Yan led an army of 100,000 troops into Muye, not only could he not attack again, but also be cautious, with the small city of Zhongmu to resist the soldiers of King Yan.
"Hua Yongxian, could it be that your attack on Dongping Town failed..."
Qin Yi muttered to himself, and Wei Yao went up to be relieved: "Old handsome, with Hua Yongxian's courage and prudence, he will definitely not fail!" ”
"Then why is King Yan's army ready?"
Qin Yi asked rhetorically, stumped Wei Yao, and it was right, if Hua Yong burned Dongping Town first, ruined the grain and grass of King Yan's army, it would be impossible to directly mess with his army's morale, after all, King Yan sat on dozens of cities and counties in Jianghuai, and his foundation was deep, but it would also greatly delay the speed of his westward advance, at least not in the near future, he would be stationed in Muye, and make a posture of attacking Zhongdu.
"Old handsome, maybe King Yan deliberately pretended to be a military might?"
Puyang Xing said such a sentence, Qin Yi listened, savored the truth, if the supply of grain and grass in King Yan is insufficient, and he has been stationed in Puyang, then Muye, the place of the four battles, is his throat, once he is taken by himself, then King Yan's next advance and retreat will be controlled by Qin Yi, in order to avoid this kind of disaster, King Yan will come first even if the grain and grass are not enough, and make a strong battle posture.
"It's a real possibility!"
Thinking of this, Qin Yi got up and said: "Wei Long, He Xingbo, the old man and you two have three thousand flying horses, and immediately rush to Muye, remember, you can only fight in the field, not attack!" ”
‘… Knock knock...'
The gray sky, the dull sound of drums, looking from afar, the black cavalry and the gray army were killed together, Wei Long and He Xingbo would defend each other, and with three thousand flying horses, they were several times the foot army of the powerful Yan King.
"Your Highness, why don't you let the slaves attack? Only 3,000 of them are ridden, as long as the slaves are killed in a battle, their heads will be presented to His Highness! Deng Zhong asked for battle, and King Yan smiled: "I have heard for a long time that Qin Yi has a strong army, and now he wants to fight a decisive battle in order to win quickly, but this king is unwilling, and now he is weak and consumes their soldiers, and when the opportunity comes, this king will attack in a big way, and a battle will be decided!" ”
"Your Highness is wise!"
Deng Zhong patted King Yan's ass for no reason, causing the surrounding generals to mock, but Deng Zhong didn't care, as the domestic slave general of King Yan, to some extent, he could joke with his master, that was a symbol of status, if it was Peng Ji, Xin Zi and other foreign generals, it would not be decisive, otherwise the staff under King Yan would not be happy.
When Wei Long and He Xingbo attacked for an hour, the Yan army in front of the Muye Walled City was still strong and did not retreat, the two generals were afraid of losing and quickly withdrew, and the Yan King came down to Mingjin to collect the troops, but they had not returned to the village, Lou Chengxuan led two thousand elites to replace Wei Long and He Xingbo, and went straight to kill, seeing this, the Yan King could only continue to fight, but one came and went, this Yan army gradually showed its fatigue, Lou Chengxuan took the opportunity to break the Yan army array, and went straight to the Muye Walled City.
Seeing this, the generals under the command of King Yan couldn't stand still.
"Your Highness, the Zhongdu army seems to have the momentum of attacking the village, if they are allowed to easily approach the camp, won't it sweep our face?"
He Qi, the general of the Chinese army, asked for battle, King Yan was silent, and Han Mingzhen gave the order: "The general can go to a small test activity!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Waiting for the three-way drumming, He Qi attacked, Lou Chengxuan looked at the banner of the enemy general, drummed up, slapped the horse and killed, He Qi held a tiger head gun, and sank vigorously, Lou Chengxuan was pressed with a blow, and immediately retreated, He Qi smiled: "You still have some ability?" It's better to surrender at this moment and meet King Yan face to face with me..."
Lou Chengxuan should not be He Qi, slowly go up again, two thousand elite soldiers behind him with a fish scale array left and right, look at this, He Qi did not dare to be too careless, he scouted the left and right flag soldiers, with a gun array to fight against it, in the confrontation, the two generals were on a par with each other, until the sun went down, Qin Yi Mingjin, Lou Chengxuan led the troops to withdraw.
"Old handsome, the Yan thief has a strong edge, it's not like pretending..."
Lou Chengxuan, He Xingbo, and Wei Long will please.
"If it's not like pretending, then it is inevitable that King Yan's soldiers are fierce, and it seems that Hua Yongxian has failed!"
Getting this conclusion, Qin Yi couldn't help but feel sad, Wei Yao couldn't bear it: "Old handsome, if that's the case, then let's take it."
What to do? The small wall of Zhongmu City is low, and when King Yan's 100,000 army is killed, our 40,000 soldiers and horses will become trapped beasts in a cage! ”
"Now there is a huge disparity in the military strength of the two sides, if you fight Yan King in the field of Changshe, the odds of winning are only five or five, and this battle is even more difficult to fight!" Qin Yi was thinking, and Puyang Xing came to report.
"Old Shuai, the last general just went to explore the camp and found a strange phenomenon!"
"What?"
"At this time, the lights have been turned on, the smoke of the swallow thief camp is everywhere, we are in the downwind, and the smell of food is very light... This is not the style of King Yan, I want him to be rich in Jianghuai, before Tian Zhu, Yuan Ziqi and others told the military order, the food in the military camp of King Yan is excellent, and the aroma of meat drifts ten miles with the wind, how did we change this? ”
Pu Yangxing's Qin Yi was stunned when he said this, he thought about it back and forth, and immediately said: "It must be that there is a shortage of grain and grass, and there is a secret change in it!" ”
Thinking of this, Qin Yi was ruthless, and he said to Pu Yangxing: "Now you immediately assemble the iron cavalry of the headquarters and attack the Yan thief west camp, the old man wants you to explore the grain and grass situation of the Yan army, although this battle is dangerous, but the old man will send someone to answer you!" ”
In the Yan army camp, when the soldiers marched to the stoves of each team to beg for food, they found that there was a lot of meat, but the grain officer clearly informed the schools that the grain and grass had arrived.
In confusion, some of the fierce soldiers did not comply, and they smashed the dry cake soup on the heads of the gang leaders, so that the people gathered and ran towards the baggage camp of the food officer.
