Chapter 269: Unlucky Bao Bufan

In Lanling County, a large banner of the Shuntian Army flutters high above the city, but the once lively city has now become extremely depressed, almost no human voices can be heard, and even wild dogs are rare to see. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Suncheon Army implements an all-army supply system, in their eyes, there is no distinction between military and civilian, and in the area under their control, all the people are under the command of the Suncheon Army, regardless of men, women, old and young.

The reason why Mo Luo wanted to implement such a military-civilian integration system stemmed from the fact that at the beginning of his army, he lacked not only the necessary ordnance materials, but also the lack of food, grass and logistics, even if there was a shortage of qualified soldiers. He can only rely on the tactics of the sea of people, and all the people of the association will move with the army, so that his scale is very terrifying, and with a charge from above, it is a sea of people all over the mountains and fields rushing towards the enemy with a big banner, and it is often a cluster charge of tens of thousands of people. This style of play is indeed effective, when they were in Changyang County, some of the Yueguo county soldiers and county soldiers who fought against them, and even some regular troops stationed in Changyang County, all had a sense of powerlessness, and subconsciously wanted to retreat.

And once they retreat and lose their morale, they will inevitably be greeted with even greater defeat. This way of fighting of the Shuntian Army, if it is a tailwind battle, it is really unstoppable, even if it is a little doll, in such a charge, it will arouse an inexplicable pleasure. However, once you meet a tough opponent, the result is difficult to say, just like Bao Bufan in Feng County, he did not shake the Taiping Army in the head-to-head duel, but was defeated by the Taiping Army in the hard confrontation The vanguard elite troops, and then, it was a one-touch collapse, and the mountains and fields were fleeing.

But it doesn't matter to them, these fugitives gather together afterwards, and when they get together, they are another huge force, like in Feng County, thousands of people are captured and taken away, it is indeed rare.

The Suncheon Army implements a universal supply system. To put it bluntly, no one has private property, and everything you have, including you as a person, is the property of the Suncheon Army. In this way, Mo Luo gathered the greatest wealth in a very short period of time, giving priority to protecting his elite troops, and then the elite troops took the lead, hit one place, robbed a place, and then wrapped the people here and rushed to the next target, from the beginning of Changyang County, there was no disadvantage.

But this kind of practice will make the local people become impoverished in an instant.

When they came out of Changyang County, they were still full of confidence, the logistics camp was full of food and materials, thinking that Shayang County was richer than Changyang County, everyone in the Shuntian Army, from top to bottom, was filled with the feeling that they were about to eat a big family, and they were about to eat Shayang County, eating fragrant and spicy food, eating large pieces of meat and drinking large bowls of wine, in the army, many middle and lower-level officers cheered up his subordinates.

But Shayang County is not Changyang County, Mo Luo has been in Shayang County for more than a month, although most of Shayang County has been taken into the bag, but for Shayang County, which has been prepared, their strategic goals have not been achieved.

The strong wall and clear the field is the first move of Old Lady Liu. In some county towns close to the county seat, the people fled early, either running into the county town or hiding in the mountains nearby. Everywhere the Suncheon army went, they grabbed nothing but empty houses. And the tenacity of the resistance of these county towns was also greatly beyond the expectations of the Shuntian Kingdom, so that in the end, although most of the county towns were defeated, the income was not worth the consumption. So much so that in the end, Mo Luo had to order to stop attacking some county governors who were still resisting, and concentrate all his efforts on attacking Shayang County.

Take Shayang County, these small places, will naturally be self-defeating.

But Shayang County is even more difficult than he imagined. After more than a month of fighting, the county town of Shayang was still majestic, but the logistics of the Shuntian army had a big problem.

Hundreds of thousands of people, every day open their mouths to eat, this consumption is not a small number, just looking at the accounts, can make the logistics officers of the Shuntian Army crazy.

Food shortages have become the biggest problem. The Suncheon Army had to start making careful calculations. The first thing that will be bad is naturally those old and weak women and children who do not have much combat effectiveness and purely play soy sauce in battle. The standard of food has been lowered again and again, and it has reached the brink of famine. Standing at the head of Shayang County, you can see groups of old and weak women and children coming out of the camp every day to dig wild vegetables and peel tree bark.

The famine is spreading in the Shuntian army, and now Moluo has only two hopes, one is to conquer the county town of Shayang, and the second is that the grain promised by the Chu people will arrive soon. But the grain arrived in Baoqing, Changyang County from the waterway, and then transported all the way from Baoqing to here, not to mention thousands of miles, but there were hundreds of miles away, and in the case of extremely bad traffic conditions, it was impossible to predict when it would arrive, and Shayang County, after seeing the situation of the Shuntian army, was more determined to resist.

Suddenly, Moro was in a dilemma.

Bao Bufan was stationed in Lanling County, the purpose was to guard against the army from Feng County, until now, the high-ranking members of the Shuntian Army led by Mo Luo still thought that this army should be a hidden force of the Qi State.

Bao Bufan was worried. Because he is now suffering from a serious shortage of food. Inside the city, there are 3,000 elite foot soldiers, but outside the city, there are still tens of thousands of young people. According to the order of the battalion, now they have also begun to grow grain in the tuntian, but the problem is that even if they grow grain in the tuntian, if they want to harvest it, they will have to wait until autumn, what should they do now?

Bao Bufan sent an army to the countryside every day to sweep the countryside, go to the countryside and visit the households, and the smaller mountains had to be searched, the purpose was to find the people of Shayang who had fled before, when they fled, there was nothing left, and there might be surprises when digging the houses of the people.

The city was empty, and there were hardly any people to be seen, and occasionally someone walked by, who was also a soldier of the Suncheon Army.

Bao Bufan was very angry, because during this period of time, someone had been running away, and the direction of escape was still Feng County, which had just made him suffer a big defeat, and the news came from nowhere, saying that Feng County had food, and as long as he fled to which, he would not go hungry. The patrol had already captured dozens of them, and now the bloody heads had hung on the walls.

Kill an example, let these bold mud-legged people see more clearly, and those who dare to betray King Shuntian are a dead end. The difficulties are only temporary, and when Shayang County is defeated, everything will be fine, and the assistance from the Chu State will also arrive soon, as one of the four King Kongs of Mo Luo, Bao Bufan naturally knows these core secrets.

After the sun is free, what he has to do now is to persevere, so he doesn't believe how long Shayang County can last.

Drinking the wine in the big bowl in one gulp and wiping his mouth, Bao Bufan stood up and lifted the knife from the table, he was going to go to the camp outside the city to patrol again, and by the way, take those bloody people's brains, and warn those bitter haha, don't joke with your life.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, he saw Lu Yifan running over with a panicked face.

Lu Yifan has been directly demoted to the captain of the scout team by him, this guy didn't explain the situation clearly last time, and he was cut off by the ninth-level master when he was more obvious, which made him angry. If it weren't for the fact that this guy had a seventh-level cultivation, he would have driven him away a long time ago.

"General, it's not good!" was still far away, and I heard Lu Yifan's voice changing tone.

"What's the fluster?" Bao Bufan asked.

"General, here they are, here they are." Lu Yifan shouted.

"Who's coming?" As soon as the words came out, Bao Yifan suddenly understood, "You mean that the army in Feng County has come over?" ”

"Yes, yes, the army in Feng County, I saw their banner, less than ten miles away from the county seat. The last general hurried back and reported to the general. Lu Yifan nodded again and again.

"How many people came? How much cavalry, how much infantry? Who is in the lead? Bao Bufan asked.

Lu Yifan choked, when he saw an army on the horizon from a distance, the first thing that caught his eye was the fluttering eagle flag of the Taiping Army, he immediately turned his horse's head, and fled with his people, where did he carefully observe these details? But Wu Bufan asked, but he couldn't help but say.

"General, there are, there are thousands, there are thousands of cavalry." He said nonsense, since the heart is the soldiers and horses of the Qi people, since it is dispatched, it must be indispensable.

Bao Bufan was shocked, there are thousands of cavalry? It's a bit off-line. For them, cavalry is still a luxury type of troops, let alone him, it is Moluo's battalion, an army of hundreds of thousands of people, but only thousands of cavalry, war horses, but they can't be obtained casually, where war horses are scarce materials.

"Beat the drums, send the supreme war ******, and the whole army is ready to meet the enemy." Forced to calm down, Bao Bufan ordered loudly, he knew very well that Mo Luo's task here was to intercept the invasion that might come from the Qi army in Feng County, he had no way to retreat, if the Qi army was allowed to fight under Shayang County, the Shuntian army was very likely to collapse.

"Everyone has withdrawn to the county seat and is ready to defend the city." As soon as he heard that the other party had thousands of soldiers and horses, Bao Bufan had already coaxed himself, so he relied on tens of thousands of people under his own command, but he was afraid that if the cavalry charged, they would scatter as birds and beasts.

The rumbling war drums sounded, and in the clusters of shacks outside the city, countless figures rushed out from the inside, rushing towards the county seat, some still holding weapons in their hands, and some carrying some farm tools with some quilts, swarming towards the county seat.

"Lao Tzu is really unlucky, why did he call Qi people hard." Bao Bufan was very unhappy in his heart, Qi people, that is the army that beat the regular army of Dayue to the ground, and now his own people, but the border Yue army is far from being comparable, but Fan only accounts for more than a person.

"The son of a bitch, isn't it just thousands of cavalry, Lao Tzu doesn't go out of the city, there is a kind of you flying up to the city on a horse!" He thought to himself, "Prepare to defend the city, prepare bows and crossbows, and throw stones, and oil pots." (To be continued.) )
