Text Chapter 795 Change of Guard
After laughing, it was Lu Bu who was the first to ask: "General Wen, how much food did you bring this time, but how long is it enough for our army to eat?" ”
Eating is always an important problem that people have to face in survival, even a fierce general like Lu Bu is not exempt, not to mention, there is a real shortage of food in the city now. Even if the Second Army gave them some food three days ago, it was only a few more days, and the problem was still not solved.
Now that Wen Chou is coming with military rations, they naturally have a little more hope, but they just hope that the more food there is, the better.
"There are only 32,000 stone of grain, and there are some grains and grass for the healthy horses." Looking at the four of them, Wen Chou said with a smile.
"What? Only 32,000 stones? Listening to this number, Lu Bu was the first to stand up, with a fiery face.
It's no wonder that he has such a big fire, originally the grain and grass were delivered, he thought there were so many, but he didn't expect the amount to be so small. Simply calculated, once there are 50 catties of grain, and a soldier eats one stone of grain a day, the 32,000 stones are only 1.6 million catties of grain. That's just 1.6 million soldiers a day. Although it is said that the vanguard army of the First World War was severely damaged, but with the men and horses of the second army and the captured Rus' soldiers, there are also 800,000 troops, doesn't it mean that the food transported this time is only enough for the large army in the city to last for two days? If this is the case, it will be difficult for the food sent to solve the immediate difficulties.
Lu Bu can calculate this account, and the other three can naturally calculate it. When they heard that there was only this food, their faces became bad.
Wen Chou, with an embarrassed expression, said: "The road is full of snow, it's really difficult to walk, and the brothers have done their best to transport these." ”
"I know it's not appropriate to transport food in this kind of weather, but these alone won't solve any problems." Lu Bu still shook his head, he didn't mean to blame Wen Chou, he just wanted to say that these grains couldn't solve any problems.
"Hehe, it can be solved, the emperor has a way, now please ask the four adults to listen to the order." Wen Chou smiled, and then took out a golden scroll from his bosom as if by magic, which was undoubtedly the holy decree.
Seeing that Wen Chou had a holy decree in his hand, the four of Lu Bu did not dare to slack off at the moment, and they all fell to their knees in a hurry.
Next, Wen Chou read out Zhang Chao's holy decree, and listening to the meaning of this holy decree, Lu Bu and the four of them all looked puzzled. Because the holy decree actually asked the Vanguard Legion and the Second Legion to withdraw from Adan City and return to Haipaolan, as for the city defense here, the deputy commander of the Wenchou Legion was responsible for guarding it with 80,000 people who followed.
"Alright, the holy decree is finished, please get up quickly, four adults." After Wen Chou finished reading the holy decree, he said to Lu Bu and the four with a smile.
The four of them got up with a puzzled expression, and then it was Lu Bu who asked, "General Wen, we are all leaving, what about the city defense of Adan City?" ”
"Hehe, Commander Lu, didn't the emperor say it in the holy decree? I will guard the town with an army of 80,000 that I have followed. Wen Chou is still smiling, he may not have such a good temper for others, but in the face of the first fierce general Lu Bu, he really does not dare to have the slightest sense of grandeur.
"You're here to guard? But there are only 80,000 men, and once the Rus' army comes to attack, it is possible to hold it? Lu Bu asked with a look of disbelief.
"This doesn't need Captain Lu to worry about it, we just obey the emperor's will." When Wen Chou heard that Lu Bu didn't believe him, his face immediately turned colder. It's true that he respects each other, but if people come to question him, then I'm sorry, he won't give a good look.
Seeing that Wen Chou's face had become bad, Pang Tong, the commander of the vanguard legion on the side, stood up and said with a smile: "General Wen don't think about it, Commander Lu is just worried about the safety of Adan City." It's just that if there is a holy purpose, of course we will obey it. Now we're ready to make the handover. By the way, there are still some military rations in the city that we have saved, which can be left for the general and the 80,000 horses. ”
Seeing that Pang Tong spoke so politely, Wen Chou's face looked much better and said: "That's the case, thank you Junshi Pang." Let's take a handover. In order to save some military rations, please ask the four adults to leave the city early. ”
Wen Chou's answer can be regarded as an answer to why he only brought 32,000 three kinds of military rations, because this is exactly 20 days' rations for 80,000 soldiers, in other words, this time he only brought the food for his own use.
Although everyone was suspicious that there were only 80,000 people left to hold on to Adan City, Wen Chou had a holy decree in his hand, which proved that it was the meaning of Emperor Zhang Chao, and naturally, everyone was not good at saying something.
The food in the city was limited, and in order to ensure that the food supply of Wenchou's 80,000 soldiers would not cause any problems, the Vanguard Legion and the Second Legion began to prepare for leaving the city after the meeting. The Celestial Empire's army has always been well-trained, so just one day later, an army began to leave the city, and only the next day, the 800,000 army left the city and disappeared into the vast snow. Wen Chou naturally took 80,000 soldiers and began to take charge of various matters to defend the city.
In Adan City, there were originally nearly 150,000 people, and for these people, because of military regulations, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire were not allowed to slaughter unarmed people for no reason, so even when Lu Bu was in the city, they didn't do anything to these people.
But originally there were 800,000 troops in the city of the Celestial Empire, and those people did not dare to act rashly, but now it is different, when they find that the hordes of soldiers on the street are gone, and only a few soldiers and horses are left, some people's hearts become impatient.
No one wants to be ruled by someone else, especially a foreigner. The Rus' also had their own national plot, and there were some patriots among the common people. They didn't dare to make a move before, and that was because the Celestial Empire's army was too large in number and too powerful. But now it was completely different, and after many inquiries, they found that there were only 80,000 soldiers in the city, but only half of the number of the common people, and their minds were enlivened.
Outside, it was icy and snowy. The dense clouds in the city are dark, and the wind is surging.
Even outside the city of Adan, the Rus' army was also ready to move.
The news that the vanguard and the second army had withdrawn in the city, in exchange for 80,000 men, had been spread by the Rus' spies in the city.
Originally, Mikhail and Utkin, who had been closely monitoring the situation in the city, were waiting for the Celestial Empire's army to break without food, but they didn't expect that the Celestial Empire would come with such a hand, and they would change troops and deploy defenses, and only send 80,000 horses.
The advantage of this is that grain and grass will naturally not be a problem, and people will eat less if they have less. But at the same time, the shortcomings were also exposed, that is, can so few people hold the city?
If it was a scorching summer, the Rus' army would naturally have to think about it, after all, the Celestial Empire's army was gaining momentum, and it was not wise to take the initiative to attack them. But now it is the cold winter season, since in such an environment, they have a strong advantage, such as the ability to adapt to cold weather, if the Rus army is the second, I am afraid that no one dares to say that it is the first.
With such self-confidence, Mikhail decided to take the initiative after some discussion with Utkin, and they brought 200,000 troops, plus the cooperation of the people in the city, they were eighty percent sure that they would capture the city of Adan and regain it.
The 200,000-strong army was an elite division, and they had all been trained in the cold and knew how to fight in such snowy conditions. With such an elite army, Mikhail even said wildly that he could capture the city of Adan in one day, and he would be ashamed.
For Mikhail's idea, Utkin is 100% supportive. The second prince had already ordered an all-out counterattack against the Celestial Empire's army, and he was now lacking a chance to make meritorious contributions after his poor performance before. If you can capture Adan City, then needless to say, it must be a great achievement, so it is equivalent to giving the second prince a long face, so that all his previous mistakes will be written off.
With such a vision, the two of them did not even say hello to Yakov, the commander of the Pahan, and began to move towards the city of Adan with the 200,000 men and horses of their headquarters, obviously they wanted to eat and devour and make great achievements.
Zhang Chao once said that a selfish army cannot become a great weapon, and a general who does not have a sense of the overall situation cannot become an invincible general. For this point, the generals of the Celestial Empire kept it in mind, and no matter what they did, they would ask for instructions, and they rarely acted alone. In contrast, the army of Ross is indeed different, they are used to being high, and they are naturally the first in the world, and they will inevitably take the initiative to expose their shortcomings.
The undercurrent in the city is surging, and the army outside the city is approaching, all of which are under the attention of the members of the Sky Eye, and reported to the ears of Wen Chou, the defender of Adan City.
As the Celestial Empire continues to grow stronger, the power of the Celestial Eye Organization is also all over the world. In order to keep up with the country's development momentum in the organization's intelligence capabilities, the old mainland Philippines, as the organization, has even spent a sum of money to conduct targeted training.
For example, in the Land of Rus, there is a small team of members of the Sky Eye who are very familiar with the climate here and have specialized training.
These Tianyan personnel can hide in one place for several days in cold weather without being discovered. With this ability, Mikhail and Utkin were discovered as soon as they appeared thirty miles near the city of Adan with a large army.
Intelligence is clairvoyance, and it is the ear of the wind.
