One hundred and seven times? Looting of grain
The heavy rain that swept the northern part of Zhao moved south, and the sunshine that had not been seen for many days finally reappeared. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Zhao army above the Yanpo and the Qin army below did not have time to comprehend the baptism of this season.
The muddy roads after heavy rain made it extremely difficult for vehicles and horses to pass, and several small units of the Qin army under the mountain had completed the blockade of the area around Sheyanpo.
Liu Xiang had to order Liu Xi and Lu Yi to lead a small number of soldiers to go down the mountain in disguise to collect grain and grass, but this scene had already been targeted by the henchmen sent by Wang Qian.
Shoot the Qin army camp under the Yan Slope
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wang Jian was sitting on a low stool and looking at the map carefully, when a scout walked in and knelt down on one knee and said: "General, what you expected is right, these days on the mountain often some people dressed as people or groups of three or five, they go down the mountain to look for something to satisfy their hunger, which is enough to show that the Zhao army on the mountain is short of food and grass and is close to exhaustion."
Wang Jian waved his hand to signal him to go down, and Wang Ben on the side said: "Father, there are many generals who have come to persuade the attack in the three days after the rain, and the morale of the soldiers is even more uplifted.
"The fortress of the Zhao army on the mountain has recovered a lot after a few days of rest, it is impossible for our army to lose too much strength here, and now that the Zhao army is short of food and grass, it is a good time, I have a plan"
After Wang Jian finished speaking, he said to Wang Ben, and Wang Ben listened to it and said: "Father, this Liu Xiang is very cautious, how can such a strategy be hidden from him?"
"Although Liu Xiang is cautious, his subordinates may not, he is unwilling to take the initiative to attack us again, but he may not be able to stop his subordinates from seeking war, and soon the battle flag of our army can flutter on the top of the slope of the wild goose."
After that, Wang Jian sent his soldiers to order the generals to enter the account, and after the deployment, the generals accepted the orders of the main generals in unison.
After the generals went out, Wang Jian said: "Liu Xiang, the old man will personally cut off your head and hang it on the flagpole."
Then he strode out of the camp and went in the direction of the barracks.
Shoot the top of the Yan Slope Zhao army fortress
In a military tent in the village on the right side of the first line of defense, several Zhao army generals were eating on a larger desk, and Cheng Bian, who was sitting in the right position, just ate two bites and put the pottery bowl on the table, and the chopsticks also glanced at it.
Cheng Bian's face was a little more angry, and he said: "Damn, why is this rice so unpalatable, and how is this vegetable leaf pickled and then cooked, Lao Tzu has never eaten such an unpalatable thing in Yi'an back then."
Lu Rui on the side said to him: "General Cheng, the rainy weather has caused the grain to be damp, in order to prevent the vegetables from being damp and rotten, so it has been pickled, and it is already very good that we can eat these now, General Liu and their men and horses can eat much more unpalatable than ours."
"Staying in this place with a big slap all day, obviously causing heavy casualties to the Qin army, but not daring to take advantage of the victory to pursue, now I can't even eat, and it's too embarrassing to fight with Liu Xiang."
As soon as Cheng Bian's voice fell, he only heard a small colonel report coming into the account and said: "General, there is a Qin army grain convoy at the foot of the mountain, and our people found that the number of people is not very large after approaching and observing, and we have enough to eat these unpalatable things these days, so we don't go down the mountain to snatch the grain and grass of the Qin army."
When Lu Rui heard what the colonel said, he immediately shouted: "A colonel dares to discuss military affairs in front of the general, and he doesn't hurry back."
Cheng Bian patted Lu Rui on the shoulder and said: "No, what he said has some truth, I will personally lead the troops down the mountain to grab grain, first, it can alleviate the shortage of food and grass in our army, and second, it will destroy the enemy again and shock our army."
"General Cheng must not, Wang Jian is scheming and scheming, this may be his strategy, and the strength of our army is almost impossible to compete with the Qin army, Liu Xiang only sneaked once because of this and did not take the initiative to attack again, the general must not go down the mountain alone."
"General Lu, what you said, why can't I do what Liu Xiang can do, Liu Xiang himself should be a turtle with a shrunken head and let the brothers eat these things, I Cheng Bian is not that kind of person, my soldiers can't go hungry to fight, you just wait for my good news, I will also impress Liu Xiang"
After that, Cheng Bian took the three lieutenants out of the camp tent and went to the barracks, Lu Rui saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he had to go to Liu Xiang to find him, and when he heard that Liu Xiang was in Jian Zhenping, he stepped on his war horse and went straight to Jian Zhenping.
In order to prevent the Qin army from deceitful or have secret power, he gathered all the nearly 2,000 soldiers in the first line of defense, and the soldiers in the first line of defense have been eating these coarse and unpalatable food for the past few days, and they are all happy to go after hearing that they are going down the mountain to rob the Qin army's food.
Cheng Bian made a simple deployment, arranged for 500 and his elite soldiers to follow him and rushed up to rob the grain, and the remaining 1,500 people were divided into four groups, the first group was led by a deputy general and was responsible for observing the movements around the grain cart, so as to find the Qin army's secret strength and support in time, the second group of 450 people were all archers and crossbowmen responsible for long-distance assistance, and the third and fourth groups were 500 soldiers each, as soon as the first group found the Qin army, they immediately started, because it was quietly going down the mountain, so the first group was all infantry except for the cavalry.
After the deployment was completed, Cheng Bian led the troops out of the walled gate, because the hillside was steep, so the army walked very slowly, the first group because they wanted to observe the situation, so they rode down the mountain quickly and went straight to the woods next to the Qin army's grain truck.
After a while, they arrived at the woods, and everyone saw more than ten grain trucks escorted by hundreds of Qin soldiers slowly moving, at which time a man who looked like a general on a war horse said: "Damn, I'm tired of doing this drudgery, so I'm almost at the camp, and the brothers stopped to rest."
Everyone was afraid that the army would go too slowly, and the grass family would go away before they could grab the grain, and everyone was secretly happy that they were about to intercept the grain and grass.
At this moment, Liu Xiang is following the people and horses looking for grain and grass, and in the past two days, Lu Yi and Liu Xi have collected a lot of grain left behind by the people who have migrated.
In order to get some information about the outside world and the Qin army by the way, Liu Xiang also disguised himself and joined Lu Yi's team.
Lu Yi obeyed Liu Xiang's order and led the team to walk less than a mile, when he suddenly found that the lights in front of him were bright and accompanied by an inaudible noise.
Liu Xiang quietly approached and saw that the road in front of him had been blocked by a Qin army camp, and from the not very clear lights, Liu Xiang calculated that there were no less than 1,000 soldiers and horses in this camp, and the rest of the people led by Liu Xi and Lu Yi also handed over the news, and they found four or five similar Qin army camps one after another.
Liu Xiang looked at the moon in the sky, sighed, and didn't go any further, Cheng Bian's soldiers and horses had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and were ready to attack the grain cart.
