Chapter 178: Grain Robbery

"Out of food? Didn't you say that the support from Huaxia was coming? I don't know much else in Huaxia, but it's true that there is endless food there......"

"Who made the rumor?" Mo Ziqi's face suddenly darkened, "There are still people in Huaxia who are hungry......"

"But don't you Huaxia often donate food? Okay, let's not talk about these topics, isn't there any food in the supplies delivered from Pakistan this time? ”

"Yes, but it will take more than three days! But we will only have enough food until tomorrow night, and the morning after tomorrow, we will have to drink the northwest wind! ”

Why Mo Ziqi only needs two hundred tons of grain is also after his careful consideration. Two hundred tons is not much, although the portion is very large, but it is divided equally among 60,000 people, and each person is a little more than three kilograms, and one kilogram of rice is only enough for an adult to eat for three days. Two hundred tons is their ration for ten days.

For a force, two hundred tons of grain can't last long, and the population of Moziqi's forces is still small in the plains, like Sodoro's Star Lawson City, which eats more than two hundred tons in one meal. Therefore, this number will not arouse Sodoro's alarm, let alone think that Mo Ziqi intends to delay time.

Since food is a minor issue, their focus will be on munitions. But since he agreed to distribute arms after submission, this also eliminated Sodoro's worries. Therefore, after the envoy who persuaded him to surrender went back to report to Sodoro, Sodoro agreed without even thinking about it, and directly approved 300 tons of grain in order to show his generosity. This bit of food didn't hurt Sodoro at all.

It's autumn and the harvest season has arrived. Although war has already started on the plains, it is far from the time when it is at its best. Everyone is now focused on harvesting food, and by the end of October, the war will surely spread like an explosion.

Three hundred tons of grain could be loaded into less than ten carts, and Mo Ziqi's base was less than twenty kilometers away from Star Lawson City. Even if it is transported by a large truck, it will take less than an hour. The convoy drove in a line along the potholed mountain road. The envoy sitting in the middle car was in a good mood.

He was holding Sodoro's letter of appointment, and as soon as the grain was handed over, he could have General Calabe take it and sign the letter of return. When the time comes, General Sodoro will personally come and take over the troops. After completing this task, it is time for my position to be transferred up again.

Surrender is not surrender, and the treatment is very different. The surrendered troops cannot be dispersed, and the promised benefits must be written in black and white. Except for the change of number, it is basically the same as the original. But the most important point is that the military orders issued by the general command must be obeyed.

As soon as he thought of his ascension, the envoy's smile still bloomed on his face. Suddenly, the car in front of him braked suddenly, and the chain reaction caused the minister to almost hit the front windshield.

"What's going on, how do you drive? Can you afford to delay General Sodoro's big deal? The envoy roared with a dark face and didn't think about it.

"My lord, the road ahead has been dug up, and the first car has been stuck in the pit!"

"What? Who is so lacking in virtue? The envoy hurriedly got out of the car, and sure enough, the side near the mountain road in front of him cut off the road horizontally, and the pothole in the middle was almost ten meters wide, and the truck could never fly over.

"Kill—"

Before they could react, a shout of killing sounded, and a group of armed forces in white robes suddenly burst out of the mountains on the side. The shouts shook the sky and the momentum was extraordinary, and the dense crowd firmly surrounded the convoy in the blink of an eye. Looking at the posture, there must be a few thousand people.

When the envoy saw this, he immediately burst into tears. He was just a convoy, and the total number of soldiers with guns was less than fifty. And the other party rushed out directly with 5,000 people, how can this resist?

"We are General Sodoro's people, if there is a misunderstanding, please go back......" The envoy asked tentatively, in fact, he didn't have any bottom of this sentence in his heart. It's been three years since General Sodoro got Star Lawson City, and it's been three years since a gang of bandits entrenched in the mountains.

What is the bandit leader called? How many people are there and what purpose do they have? Nobody knows. The only thing they know is that the bandits are very unhappy to see Sodoro, and they take advantage of Sodoro's defenselessness to rob if they have nothing to do.

In the past three years, Sodoro has encircled and suppressed him more than ten times, and he has been surrendered more than ten times. But let alone negotiating with the bandits, I haven't even seen a shadow. Therefore, the envoy's mood was broken at the moment, although he raised General Sodoro in his mouth. But it is also with the mentality of what if, if nothing else, the group of people in front of him should be that group of bandits!

"Don't take Sodoro out to scare us, go back and tell Sodoro, and say that we have taken this grain!" A big man glanced at the envoy contemptuously, and with a wave of his big hand, a large group of people came out of the mountain range. The crowd rushed to the trucks, carrying bags of rice and heading out into the mountains.

"What?" Karabe slammed the table, "Robbed?" Who did this to you? ”

"It must be the same group of people in the mountains!" Katahi had a guess right away.

"Yes, our scouts watched from a distance as they carried bags of rice into the mountains. We wanted to follow, but as soon as we entered the mountains, we lost track of them and retreated. ”

"There's no reason!" Calabe pointed to the mountain range on the map and asked suspiciously, "This mountain range is not small when it is small, but it is not big when it is said to be big, I heard the reconnaissance report how they must have tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to hide in it without leaving any traces?" There's no way we're scouts who can't even catch up with the shadows, right? ”

"But that's the way it is, for the past three years, they've been making trouble mainly for Sodoro, but sometimes they've been troublesome for me. Not only Sodoro, but also Simon and Brac have sent people into the mountains to find them. But no trace of them was found, just like ...... Disappeared into thin air. ”

"What then? The food has been robbed, and if he wants to let Sodoro bring out the food again, I am afraid he may not be willing. We only have enough food to eat until tomorrow night, and we don't know when Huaxia's support will come. Without food, the people in the base will mutiny, and now Sodoro has an eye on us, as soon as they find out about our abnormality, they will send a large army to press the border, and when the time comes, there is no need to fight, and the soldiers guarding the city will open the city and surrender......"

"My 20,000 troops won't!" Katasi said seriously.

"Neither will my five thousand soldiers! But so what? What about the other 40,000 soldiers? Now our people are all scattered, and the run-in of the ranks is far from complete. When that happens, more than 20,000 of us can't control the situation at all. ”

"More than 10,000 people can't just disappear without a trace, there must be some hidden place we don't know!" Mo Ziqi suddenly raised his head and said lightly, "This mountain range is very small, and it is absolutely impossible to hide tens of thousands of people without leaving a trace." Then say to Sodoro, 'We will not surrender without food.' After such a loss, I think Sodoro will jump on his feet. As for the inside of the mountains...... I'll find out for myself, and what you're saying is so amazing that it piqued my interest. ”

"Hey, Mr. Mo, you can't be in danger! Besides, this time Sodoro suffered a loss, presumably he will also send troops into the mountains, or we will wait and see? Karabe hurriedly persuaded to dispel Mo Ziqi's thoughts.

"He-" Kata rolled his eyes disdainfully, "I'm afraid I'm used to it!" There won't be any action! ”

"What? Robbed by that gang of bandits? Sodoro stared at the envoy and roared angrily, "Why weren't you robbed by them? ”

"Castle Lord...... I ......" the minister trembled, but he did not dare to say a word of defense.

Two hundred tons of grain is a small amount, and Sodoro will not care too much, but the integration of the 60,000 troops of Khatasi is a big deal. With the submission of Katasi, Sodoro not only greatly improved his strength, but also avoided worries. The geographical location of Star Lawson City is very superior, they are all facing other forces, and behind them, there is only one Karabay force.

Previously, Sodoro did not move because the war on the plains had not started, and Catassi and Simon Brac were fighting each other. But one of Karabe's sudden and forceful interventions unifies the three forces all of a sudden, which makes Sodoro feel threatened.

"Order, prepare another 300 tons of grain, this time let the second and third armies escort the whole mechanical troops, I'll see, do they dare to rob it!"

"Wait!" As soon as Sodoro's words fell, the chief of military staff beside him suddenly stopped Sodoro.

"Alder, what's the matter?"

"Didn't the general find any strange problems?" Alder asked with a confident smile.

"What strange questions? Don't sell it! ”

"The conditions put forward by General Karabe are very strange, 200 tons of grain and 100,000 fully automatic firearms, and the general has focused on 100,000 guns. It's no wonder that these two hundred tons of grain are really not worth mentioning compared to 100,000 guns. However, the general did not think about it, why did they have two hundred tons of grain? And it will come before submission? ”

Sodoro's brow furrowed violently, "You mean to ...... Are they out of food? No, 200 tons of grain is not enough for them to eat for ten days, is it necessary? What can they do in ten days? Conjure up food? No way...... No way...... There are no grain fields on the Karabe side, and even if it is autumn harvest season, they will not be able to harvest anything. 10 days...... There is no emergency at all! ”

"General, nothing is impossible!" Alder smiled faintly, "Think about it, since they promised to deliver the guns after they were converted, is it necessary for them to return to the army after the food arrives?" You can completely submit and take the food back. We will not change his station, nor will we break up his army. Such a trick made me see their flaws! ”

"What do you mean......"

"There are two possibilities! First, they are short of food, and very badly! Second, they have no intention of converting to our food. If it weren't for the fact that the food was cut off by the people in the mountains today, I wouldn't have thought of this. (To be continued.) )
