In the dead of night, the entire camp of the Great Western Kingdom was lifeless.

After a lot of hard work, I fought an enemy stronghold, and I wanted to drive straight in, but I didn't want the backyard to catch fire. God knows how the enemy concealed the sentry posts in various places, and it was so easy that he went around to the rear of the army and came so ruthlessly towards the logistics of the Great Western Country.

As a result, the baggage of the Great Western Kingdom was only enough for three days. And worst of all, it takes at least five days to bring in a new batch. What is the concept of starvation for two days during the battle? Forget it, unless you're a fool, there's really not much anyone who doesn't know.

Besides, what is the condition of the enemy and himself?

The cannon in his hand can only fire solid, and it can shoot two rounds a minute, which is a skill. Others have fifteen or even thirty rounds a minute, and each one is a flowering bullet, and the power is amazing.

The firecrackers I hold are all singles, and after the gunpowder is changed, thanks to the flint shot, otherwise if you use the previous arquebus, God knows if you can shoot a gun in a minute. The opponent's gun can either shoot a 500-meter long-distance spear, or it can fire 75 quick robbers in one breath. Even according to the battle reports from the rear, at least more than half of the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Republic who participated in the raid were holding this kind of firecracker, what kind of concept is 500 rapid-fire firearms, it is really the legendary rain of bullets and metal storms!

Come on, not to mention that the baggage fell into the hands of others, and was even burned by others, even if you can mobilize food, it will take five days later, and you will be dizzy after two days of hunger, if the other party takes the opportunity to attack, it will be really dangerous. Not to mention, what if others don't gather food for themselves? That's going to starve to death!

People's hearts are unstable, not to mention that their majesty Zhang Xianzhong vomited blood and fell into a coma, and he is still awake.

The entire barracks were lifeless, and many non-commissioned officers even discussed in private whether to be deserters, but it was a big deal to flee to the republic, and they could work without being soldiers!

At this time, even if the officer passed by by accidentally, he was only too reprimanded. I'm worried that it won't be good if they really riot if they are forced to do so, and besides, maybe he himself has this idea?

At this time, Sun Kewang was waiting in the handsome camp, silently waiting for Zhang Xianzhong's awakening.

"En......" Zhang Xianzhong's eyelids finally moved, and let out a low moan.

"Father-in-law, are you awake?" Sun Kewang was already a little drowsy, but at this moment, he suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted excitedly.

"Where am I?" Zhang Xianzhong opened his eyes.

"Father-in-law, you are in the barracks, this is your handsome tent!" Sun Kewang said excitedly.

"Oh, it turned out to be a dream...... Zhang Xianzhong closed his eyes slightly, as if he was missing something, and seemed to be sighing something.

"Father-in-law...... What's wrong? Sun Kewang asked suspiciously.

"In my dream, I went to a place where there are many high-rise buildings, and it is a hundred-story building, maybe it was built with reinforced concrete, right? The road was full of four-wheeled iron boxes, which ran faster than horses without pulling them...... Maybe it was a steam engine...... But I see the bubbling ...... The people's clothes are very different from ours, and the most important thing is that the men have short hair, and that's not all, they actually shave off their beards...... Hehe, haven't you heard the old saying 'no hair on the mouth, no good work'? It's really ......" Zhang Xianzhong seemed to be intoxicated by something, but it did sound a little reverie.

"That should be a fairyland, right?" Sun Kewang tried to say something.

"No, it should be the world, and the fairyland is all about calling for wind and rain and scattering beans into soldiers, how can it be so obvious...... So what...... That's right, traces of technology. No matter how you look at it, this is what the republic looks like, maybe more than thirty years later, maybe hundreds of years later, the old man thinks that the kid will build the republic like that. Don't doubt Lao Tzu's consciousness, when the old man was in the border army, if he didn't have this intuition, he would have been a cup of loess. Zhang Xianzhong said with great certainty.

"Father-in-law, are you planning to descend?" Sun Kewang seemed to have thought of something.

"No, I'm not done yet, and now I surrender, it seems that I, Zhang Xianzhong, are afraid of his little boy!" Zhang Xianzhong turned over and stood up suddenly, pointing to the northwest indignantly and scolding.

"That father-in-law, now that the morale of our army is low, and the soldiers lack food, grass and ammunition, in such a situation, where should we go?" Sun Kewang asked.

"What did you start your father-in-law, have you forgotten? Set the surrounding 300 miles as a forbidden area, and don't leave a living person for me...... Grain and grass, naturally! Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said.

Well, Sun Kewang knows, Zhang Xianzhong wants to kill all the people within three hundred miles, and then take away their grain. If it's not enough, it's even ...... Forget it, I didn't have to eat it when I was a thief, and I had no choice but to eat that thing. Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms ate it, Wuhu Murong Xianbei ate it, the Jin Kingdom during the Song Dynasty, and the Mongolian Kingdom later...... Forget it, no matter how you justify it, that thing is still that thing.

The order was conveyed, and everyone was calmed by Zhang Xianzhong's ruthlessness. A few old officers can remember that when this master was a thief, he was also a master who killed people without blinking. Whoever dares to anger him will not be able to eat and walk around. The worst part is that I remember one year when someone scolded him in the street, he killed him in the street, and then threw him into a pot and stewed in front of everyone...... That's not all, but in front of all the people, I ate ......

Seeing that scene, not to mention that the people were directly scared, they all became obedient people, and their own soldiers didn't dare to gasp.

Later, when the famine was too severe, he was forced to eat it a few times, and when he got used to it, he felt that it was no different from pork and beef...... This world is originally a world where people eat people, either you die or I live, and I can't blame anyone......

Strangely screamed the soldiers who were scared into quails, and it took most of the day for the Great Western Army to complete the task assigned by His Majesty the Emperor. In fact, the food is just enough, at least enough for ten days...... At the very least, you don't have to eat something you shouldn't.

returned with a full load, but he didn't want Zhang Xianzhong's second order, but he retreated along the path.

He was completely awake now, and naturally knew that during the time he was sleeping, the other party might directly attack his national capital, or it might outflank him in a roundabout way. None of the people in the front stronghold died, and Zhang Xianzhong did not believe that the Republic would use ten people to guard the border. He was sure that there were at least two or three thousand men stationed here, and that at any moment he might be flanked by the troops in the rear.

In order to avoid such a situation, it is necessary to leave this encirclement where there may be zài first, and then look for fighters again. The most important thing is that it is necessary to ensure that the supply lines of the baggage in the rear are unblocked, otherwise what will the army eat in ten days? This is no longer an enclave that can be left at any time, but his great western land!

The only thing to be thankful for is that Luo Rucai was pit a batch of baggage by himself, so at least he didn't lose much grain and grass.

The army was opened, and Sun Kewang volunteered to be the queen of the palace, Zhang Xianzhong allowed it, but when he parted, he warned him that he would rather not have a thousand troops than let him lose a son.

Zhang Nengqi is gone, Zhang Xianzhong has no son under his knees for the time being, Zhang Kewang is his only son, but he can't be gone.

Sun Kewang was both a promise and an oath, which made Zhang Xianzhong pull out, but he looked at the stronghold behind him very strictly, this stronghold that took a lot of effort to build, but it couldn't become the help of the Great Western Kingdom...... True, he can also pull wire, but he doesn't have such good artillery and guns that can fire continuously, so even if there is a pillbox, it is just two earthen coffins, and it is of little value.

Zhang Xianzhong began to retreat, and did not find any trace of the enemy along the way, and the exploration horse was sent out to explore the largest range, but nothing was found.

Passing by one of the towns, but not wanting to start the fight yet, the other party opened the door directly.

It was the mayor of the town who was captured before, and he only said that the soldiers of the republic had captured him, but he was only locked up for a day and a night, and when the food and salary were all burned, he left directly, thinking that he was also worried about encountering the main force of the Great Western Kingdom.

Zhang Xianzhong did not say anything about his words, but since he lost the city and land, he naturally had to apologize for his crimes, and he didn't say that the mayor was cut down by him on the spot. The adjutant Shun lì ascended to the position, but he didn't mean to be happy at all. Just because as long as this war does not stop for a day, then the enemy army can still capture this place. If you lose the city again...... He didn't dare to think about it.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops were welcomed in, but the gentry of this town came to comfort the army with their gifts. This excuse is a bit far-fetched, but I was worried that Zhang Xianzhong didn't eat, and he took a fancy to their family property, so he directly robbed or even killed their whole family. simply broke the wrist of the strong man, and they all left the house to save their lives.

Zhang Xianzhong also did not refuse to come, accepted the food, rested for less than a day, and took people away directly.

Watching Zhang Xianzhong leave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't want to, and a few dark nights also took the opportunity to sneak out of the town and escape to other places.

"The target is already on its way to the predetermined trap and can be closed at any time!" At night, I came to a cave, but there were several officers sitting here.

"Let's act!" The leader was the commander of the first assault regiment, Zhang Tao.

They have been waiting for Zhang Xianzhong here for two days, but they finally waited for Zhang Xianzhong's prey!

In this way, the trap set before is not in vain, and it is time to close the net!!
