Chapter 326: Ambush on All Sides (7)
Just as the two were about to collide for the fourth time, Chen Lan suddenly heard Lei Bo's panicked roar, "Retreat, retreat to the mountain on the left, quickly!" ”
Lei Bo jumped out of the battle circle, looked closely, and saw that countless cavalry of the Xuzhou Army were rushing towards him with countless dust!
He immediately glanced at Liu Quan again, gave up the idea of continuing to fight with him, and shouted as he ran: "Retreat, retreat, retreat on the mountain on the left, quick!" ”
Liu Quan naturally heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he was excited and unwilling in his heart! The excitement is that the rescuers are coming, this battle will be won, and the unwilling thing is how much food can be recovered?
He shouted, "Brothers, catch up and take back the food!" ”
The soldiers shouted excitedly and chased up the mountain on the right. Killing the enemy is not the most important thing, retrieving food is the most important thing!
On the way to this side, less than 1,000 cavalry soldiers led by Hao Zhao happened to meet those fleeing people. He immediately sped up his horse, hoping only that it would not be too late, otherwise he would not be able to get a grain back!
As soon as he saw the enemy ascending the mountain, although the mountain was gentle, he still did not let anyone catch up. Uphill, not a favorable terrain for cavalry operations!
He jumped off his horse and yelled, "Who is in charge?" ”
Liu Quan was rushing to him, and when he heard this, he hurriedly shouted: "I am!" ”
As he spoke, he hurried a few steps, came to Hao Zhao, bowed down on one knee, and said, "Liu Quan, the captain of the Navy Academy, has seen the general!" ”
Hao Zhao's face was very bad, looking at the messy transport vehicle, he really wanted to kill Liu Quan with a sword, but seeing him covered in blood, Hao Zhao couldn't help but feel soft in his heart! The loss of food is not comfortable for anyone, but this captain named Liu Quan did not escape, and he was able to defeat the enemy and keep this lot of grain and grass, which is a great luck!
He breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a deep voice, "How much food is left?" ”
Liu Quan lowered his head and said ashamedly: "General Qiyu, the villain has just let people count!" And also...... The villain has already let the sailors chase after him, I believe ...... I believe that some of it can be recovered. ”
As he spoke, his voice grew lower and lower. Recover a part? He had fought with Lei Bo's army for a full quarter of an hour, and what a quarter of an hour was a sufficient period of time for an enemy who had taken the mountain road without trespassing. How far can they run? The soldiers of the navy are not good at walking mountain roads, and if they fight hard, how much food can they recover?
At this moment, a naval army ran over, saluted Hao Zhao first, and then Liu Quan, and said: "General Qiyu, Lord Captain, among the 1,400 vehicles, there are still 412 intact vehicles, and the grain on them has not been touched by the enemy. The rest...... Carried away by the enemy to varying degrees, there are ...... There were four hundred and fifty-four carts of grain...... No ...... particles remained"
Hao Zhao suddenly felt anxious in his heart, on the four hundred complete cars, there were a total of four thousand stone of grain, enough for four thousand soldiers to eat for a month, what about twenty thousand soldiers? That's only enough for six days! Not to mention the more than 3,000 people, the remaining hundreds of officers and soldiers of the navy, and nearly 1,000 non-combatants in the army...... How many days can these grains be eaten?
Liu Quan clenched his fists, ashamed of his shame, and said, "The last general should die!" ”
Hao Zhao calmed down, helped him up, and said, "Liu Quan, you don't have to be like this, when the soldiers are back, let's go back to the camp!" ”
After a while, the sailors came back one after another with heavy steps. As Liu Quan guessed, not a single grain of grain was recovered. The specific statistics have also come up, and there are still about 5,800 stone of grain and 300 stone of meat left, which is the consumption of all people for seven days!
Wei Yan finally rushed over, and as soon as he heard that there was only such a little food left, his face suddenly turned extremely ugly!
But he couldn't think about it, so he had to retreat slowly with the escort of this precious food!
At this time, it was already the first quarter of the afternoon, that is, more than three o'clock. …,
