Chapter 58: Arson
The sun, with its smiling red face, slowly leaped out of the ground, sweeping away the crystal morning dew. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's spring, the weather is getting warmer, and the sky is dawning early. Gong Liangyu, Ji Poyu and the others were eating a rough breakfast while listening to the Yun clan scout's report on the enemy situation they had found.
Today, the 3 million Kasha army has surrounded Sun City, and two of the nine city walls have been breached.
Of course, the besieging force did not need that many men, so only half of the 3 million troops were stationed outside the city, and the other half were distributed in the towns and villages around Cité Soleil.
Gong Liangyu knew that with only 1 million Moro troops, it would be too difficult to defeat the opponent's army and lift the siege of Sun City.
With so many people, even if you don't resist, you can be exhausted to death if you honestly stand there and let you kill, even if you are replaced by Ji Poyu.
Not to mention that the overall quality of the Kasha army was even better than that of Moro.
Therefore, Gong Liangyu felt that in order to solve the crisis in Sun City, conventional methods could not be used. So he thought about it, and finally came up with a way - since he was not sure of a direct attack, he had to find a way to distract the other party's attention and divert their attack target, once this goal was achieved, the other party would take the initiative to abandon Sun City, and the siege of the city would naturally be solved.
But for an army of 3 million, what is it that gets their attention the most?
Gong Liangyu thought it was military rations.
The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Although it is a rehash of the same old tune, it is full of truth. On the battlefield, all gold and silver treasures, wealth and glory are floating clouds, and not starving and not losing one's life is the great creation. Especially for this kind of long-term warfare, grain and grass have always been the most important strategic materials, and in order to avoid a shortage of food and grass, quartermasters usually strictly control the food of their soldiers, even in the wealthy Spindle Valley.
Gong Liangyu knew that the daily supply of grain and grass for the 3 million army was an astronomical amount, and generally speaking, there were only two ways for the other party to solve the grain and grass, one was the grain and grass he originally carried, and the other was to send people to raise food in the surrounding areas. However, the Kaxia army has been staying in Beiyan for a long time, and even if there is some grain in stock, the amount is not much, and it is estimated that they still rely on hoarding grain in the surrounding villages and towns to survive. As long as they find a way to cut off the other party's food and grass, the enemy army will definitely have turmoil in the army's morale and even cause panic. In this way, Kasha's situation will become a dilemma.
When the time comes, the Kasha dog will jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will definitely find a way to grab food. Although there is plenty of food and grass in Sun City, the walls are strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not realistic for the Kasha soldiers to attack such a city hungry, on the other hand, it will be much less difficult to attack the Moro military camp and rob the grain storage in the camp. I believe that if Lord Kasha is not a fool, he will definitely do this.
In this way, their target was led to the side of Moro, and as for how to use the power in their hands to break up Kasha's army of food grabbers, it was a key issue for them to consider later.
He told Wu Qianyu, Ji Poyu, and the top brass of Moro's military about his idea, and everyone thought that this plan was feasible, but they were worried about whether Moro would be able to resist the hungry Kasha.
However, seeing Gong Liangyu's confident appearance, Wu Qianyu still chose to believe him, or rather, chose to believe Sang Nan. Seeing Her Majesty the Empress behaving so resolutely, even if the other generals had concerns, they had to keep them in their hearts and not be able to speak.
The task of probing grain and grass is very risky, so it is naturally left to the living dead to do. When the Moro military high-level found out that the hundreds of scouts sent out were all ninth-level martial artists, they instantly dispelled the worries in their hearts, and at the same time, they were also full of jealousy and curiosity about these forces with mysterious origins.
In the next few days, these Yun scouts went out day and night, deep behind enemy lines, constantly probing the enemy's grain hoarding places, while Gong Liangyu compiled the news they brought back, deliberated on the best places to operate, and finally finalized some locations.
Ji Poyu and the Moro generals found that the places identified by Gong Liangyu were all inconspicuous small villages, and there was not even a large town, and they were very puzzled. Seeing their expressions, Gong Liangyu pointed to the map and explained:
"The reason is very simple, these large towns with heavy troops are stationed at least two or three hundred thousand horses, and even if they are full of food, they can only meet their own consumption, and there will not be much surplus. On the contrary, these villages, which no one pays attention to, are instead gathering places for important grain and grass. ”
"If it's an important place to hoard grain, why don't they station more people? Aren't you afraid of being robbed! One of the generals asked, puzzled.
"If you take someone to set fire to the grain, will you pick up such an inconspicuous place and start it?" Gong Liangyu blinked his small eyes and looked at the general, and said with a sneer: "I believe it will not be, because you are afraid of startling the grass and snakes, and you will lose a big one because of a small one!" ”
When the general's face changed when he heard this, he suddenly realized, and his eyes were full of admiration.
"It's nothing, to put it bluntly, it's a truth that goes dark under the lights." Gong Liangyu waved his hand at him, his expression was indifferent, but he couldn't help but see the white eyes of Ji Poyu, and his tone was suddenly sluggish......
As night fell, the camp lit up with an ever-changing fire, and hundreds of the living dead took advantage of the darkness to leave the Moro camp and quickly disappear between heaven and earth.
According to Gong Liangyu's instructions, Ji Poyu sent a total of 400 living dead, and they were in groups of 8 people, and they rushed to 50 grain hoarding points respectively to set fire to the grain.
The Moro camp was 150 miles from Cité Soleil, and even the living dead had to travel all night on their feet, and they would arrive at their destination at about four o'clock in the morning.
Kasha had placed a number of secret posts in the direction of Moro's camp to monitor the movements of the army, but the Yun scouts had detected them a few days earlier, and they took advantage of the darkness to avoid them, and arrived at the villages in the early hours of the morning.
There are not many garrisons in these villages, but there are a large number of secret posts around them, which can be seen in the mystery, the living dead are very clever, under the cover of night, ordinary soldiers can not detect their existence at all, they successfully infiltrated the village, and soon found several buildings similar to warehouses, from the outside, these buildings are not tall, it seems that there is not much food, after entering, you can find that there is another cave in it.
It turned out that the underground part of these buildings had been hollowed out into storage cellars, and the area had been expanded dozens of times, and at a glance, there were countless sacks inside, and what was contained in them was self-evident.
Each group of the living dead left 2 people to control the wind, and the other 6 people all entered the building, they simply killed the guards, took out 2 oil bombs from their arms, inserted one under the sack every 10 meters, and then pulled the fuse at the same time, and quickly rushed out of the warehouse.
Boom Boom Boom !! As soon as he rushed out of the door, he heard a deafening explosion coming from behind him. (To be continued.) )
