Chapter 254: The Weight of Grain and Grass
As soon as Liang Xiu saw the fire of the Yuan camp, he asked the soldiers to go out with the chicks, which is an ancient bronze musical instrument, which is generally struck to make the soldiers retreat, which is also the Mingjin retreat.
After all, it is considered a bronze, so it is still very precious in the Han Dynasty, and there are few in the army, and Liang Xiu's one was still found in the treasury of the county government, so I didn't expect it to come in handy tonight.
As soon as Wen Chou pursued Zhang Feng and the others heard the sound of Mingjin, they thought it was sent by Yuan Ying, otherwise Wen Chou would not be so easy to collect his troops, so in the end, Zhang Feng would have to thank Liang Xiu so much, if it weren't for Liang Xiu and Zhang Feng, it would not have ended well.
Zhang Feng did underestimate Wen Chou's martial arts and bravery, Yuan Ying directed Zhang Feng and they retreated first, and Zhang Feng couldn't say hello to Monza, after all, the two parties happened to be in different directions.
However, Zhang Feng still believes in Monza, Monza has been doing this kind of thing for half his life, and it should be no problem to get through this pass this time, as soon as Zhang Feng withdrew, Monza obviously felt that the pressure on this side increased.
Monza was born in a rogue, and he believed in his feelings very much, so Monza immediately left the Yuan camp with the cavalry, and let the Yuan soldiers eat ashes behind, and by the time dawn the Yuan camp was no longer the same.
The most important thing is that the auxiliaries have suffered heavy losses, what the auxiliaries do, is to repair something, do some trivial things that have nothing to do with the battle or assist the soldiers in combat, and the damage to the camp is the responsibility of the auxiliaries.
But now only the soldiers are responsible for repairing, and the soldiers are okay to fight and kill, but when it comes to stationing camps, it is a bit unsatisfactory, although in the end it is barely repaired, but it is indeed a bit unsightly.
It can only ensure sturdiness, but it can't guarantee that it is beautiful and neat, but in the eyes of the sergeant, it is enough, and the rest does not care, no auxiliary soldiers can do this, Yuan Shao is also very satisfied.
However, Yuan Shao was also very angry, Yuan Shao had always looked down on Yuyang's soldiers in Bingzhou, Yuan Shao felt that these people were not the main force of Bingzhou, but he didn't expect that it was the people he despised who brought him such a big trouble.
So Yuan Shao ordered a large-scale siege of the city, this time Yuan Shao was really angry, and the state army poured out of the nest to besiege the four cities, but at this time Monza taught Yuan Shao a lesson, Monza has been monitoring the situation of Yuan's camp in the dark.
After the night attack last night, Monza also thought that Yuan's camp had a big move, so at dawn Monza deliberately observed in the dark, and even let him find that the number of Yuan's soldiers attacking the city was much larger than usual.
This also means that there are fewer soldiers in Yuan's camp, and Monza sees an opportunity, and he feels that it may have a surprise effect at this time, and Monza and Liang Xiu have been together for a long time.
It was also stuck to some of his adventurous faults, Monza felt that he could give it a try, and when Zhang Feng and others were fighting with Yuan's soldiers in the city, Monza led the cavalry to storm Yuan's camp.
Yuan Shao really didn't expect that Monza would make a comeback, and in broad daylight, there were not many soldiers of Yuan's army in the camp, most of them were auxiliaries and logistics soldiers, which really made Monza successful.
Monza led the cavalry into the camp in an instant, and the Yuan camp was repaired overnight, so there were some loopholes in some places, and in Monza's eyes, the fence outside the camp was like a void.
As soon as it collided, it crashed away, and as soon as the state cavalry rushed in, some strategists who did not follow the army knew about it, and Yuan Shao had many strategists, so it was impossible for everyone to go out with the army.
After all, the strategists were born in the literati, so there were many strategists who were not used to seeing the bloody scenes, so there were many strategists who stayed in the camp, and these strategists did not have the courage to fight with the Bingzhou cavalry.
So they ran away immediately, and naturally they couldn't run away when they ran, after all, this is a battlefield full of dangers, and the status of these strategists is not low, much higher than that of ordinary Yuan soldiers.
With their escape, they took at least half of their men and horses with them, and Monza led the cavalry straight in, but met no decent resistance, but allowed Monza to easily find the granary of the army.
Monza couldn't believe what he was seeing, bags and bags of grain piled up into small mountains, and Monza knew that as long as the fire went down, he would be the first attacker.
Monza's hands holding the torch trembled, Monza was excited, Monza was also a fierce general, and he was an old man next to Zhang Xiang, so he naturally wanted to fight, but Monza was also self-aware.
Knowing that he has a few pounds and a few taels, he is not as good as some rising stars in the army, even the new Xu Huang and Monza feel that they are stronger than themselves, and he never thought that he would have this luck.
The torch fell from Monza's hand, and Yuan Shao kept the grain and grass very well and dry, so it was easy to burn, and Monza opened a head, and the soldiers of the state behind him also poured up.
In order not to give Yuan Shao a chance to remedy, Monza deliberately waited nearby for a long time, and waited for all the grain and grass piles to burn before Monza was relieved, at this time Yuan Shao had already frantically returned with the army.
Yuan Shao knew that something was wrong when he saw the fire in the camp, and Yuan Shao immediately called in to withdraw his troops, but how could Zhang Feng standing in the city not see the fire in Yuan's camp, how could he let Yuan Shao retreat so easily at this time.
The soldiers of Bingzhou have also been passively beaten, and finally have the opportunity to counterattack this time, so they are naturally ruthless, so Yuan Shao can't take care of the soldiers who are besieging the city, and directly leads the nearby soldiers and horses back to the camp to rescue.
It's a pity that Yuan Shao forgot that yesterday he retreated ten miles to the camp for the negotiation because of the grain and grass problem, that is, these ten miles became a nightmare for Yuan's soldiers, and ten miles is equivalent to five thousand meters.
Yuan Shao directly ordered the soldiers to return to the camp, which means that Yuan Jun's foot soldiers ran five thousand meters in one go, and the physical fitness of ancient people is indeed higher than that of modern people, but they are not bored after running five thousand meters in one breath.
And it was necessary to put out the fire, Monza waited for Yuan's army to approach before leaving, Yuan Shao could even see the back of the Bingzhou cavalry, but Yuan Shao did not order the pursuit, because there was more important things to do.
Sergeant Yuan rushed up to put out the fire, Sergeant Yuan also knew what this fire represented, and the sergeant had to fight hard even if it was for his stomach, but unfortunately the fire in Monza burned too thoroughly.
Even if Yuan Shao asked people to fight hard, there was very little grain and grass saved, if Yuan Jun was not on his own territory, their consequences would be unimaginable, but Youzhou had just gone through the war.
There is not much surplus food to support the needs of the army, Yuan Shao can only transport grain from Jizhou as soon as possible, Yuan Shao glanced at Zhen Yao, he was very glad that the grain and grass of the Zhen family set off first, otherwise it would really not end well here.
Yuan Shao, just in case, immediately asked Wen Chou to personally lead the troops to welcome the grain and grass of the Zhen family, but not only Yuan Shao stared at this batch of grain and grass, but Yang Xu also stared at it, Yang Xu already knew that the Zhen family had a batch of grain and grass to be transported to Yuan Ying.
But in the past, Yuan Ying was not short of grain and grass, so the Zhen family's grain and grass was not important, but now the meaning is completely different, Yang Xu's people immediately found Monza and asked him to destroy the Zhen family's grain and grass.
Monza didn't expect such a turn for the better in the matter of grain and grass, he didn't want Yuan Jun to have a chance to make a comeback, so Monza decided to destroy the grain and grass sent by the Zhen family at all costs.
Not only Monza thought so, but all of Zhang Xiang's dark forces outside were launched, with only one purpose of destroying grain, so the grain and grass of the Zhen family suddenly became the top priority of this battle.
The Zhen family's team of transporting grain has also continued to grow, and the counties along the way have sent the most elite soldiers and horses to the team of transporting grain, and the group of Qinu Yeshan is the first to do it, after all, they are the strongest in Jizhou.
It's a pity that there is also a veteran Han Qiong in Jizhou, so the slave Yeshan almost succeeded, but the difference was thousands of miles! The Hayama slaves suffered heavy losses and could only tailgate and wait for the opportunity.
Han Qiong escorted the grain transport team all the way out of Jizhou and handed it over to Wen Chou, Han Qiong was relieved, this batch of grain and grass was too important, so that Han Qiong was a little worried, although Jizhou was also actively raising grain and grass, it would take a long time.
After all, the army led by Yuan Shao has a large number of people, so it seems that this batch of grain and grass is even more precious, and Han Qiong handed over the grain and grass to Wen Chou's hands, which means that this big trouble has finally been sent out.
People who haven't experienced it don't know that Han Qiong has experienced it personally, and every sip of water must be carefully checked, otherwise there will be chaos, and the spies or dark chess arranged by Zhang Xiang in Jizhou will be crazy.
People who can't usually be found if they want to find it all jumped out at once, and Han Qiong knew that Zhang Xiang had planted so many people in Jizhou, and the most terrifying thing was that one of them turned out to be a county guard.
Han Qiong almost let this guard succeed, and this guard is also the most pity for Yang Xu, if it weren't for the fact that people are not as good as heaven, there would not be so many troubles later.
Wen Chou didn't dare to be sloppy for a moment when he received the grain and grass, the grain and grass entered Youzhou, Yang Xu's attack was crazy, in order to delay the speed of the grain transport team, Yang Xu dug up all the roads that the grain transport team might have to take.
Seeing this, Wen Chou became more cautious, the grain and grass behind him was not only the grain and grass of the Zhen family, but also the grain and grass prepared by various counties along the way, if this batch of grain and grass was destroyed.
Yuan Shao will have to wait at least a month before he can continue the siege, and it may be too late at that time, and now the time team is especially important for both sides, Wen Chou sent a letter for help for the first time.
Yuan Shao received a letter asking for help, and immediately sent Yan Liang, who had the best relationship with Wen Chou, to lead troops to assist, Zhen Yao proposed to go at the right time, and Yuan Shao also knew that there were also many people from the Zhen family in the grain transportation team.
So let Zhen Yao go, Zhen Yao was also nervous about this batch of grain and grass, he also wanted to send this batch of grain and grass to Yuan Ying as soon as possible, if there was any problem with this batch of grain and grass, then the Zhen family might have to hemorrhage again this time, but Zhen Yao didn't know that his appearance also made Yang Xu see the loophole.
