Chapter 885: Doing the opposite

In Bai Ze's opinion, they at least snatched back all the grain trucks.

Although a certain amount of casualties were paid as a price, the food was not lost.

It also dismantled the strategy of the Zarkhanian steppe state.

That's good.

After this battle, the possibility that the steppe cavalry might turn around and come to loot grain again was considered.

It is obviously impossible for them to just leave the logistics troops behind.

So, after a brief discussion, Bai Ze signaled Li Yu to rush back to the front line with the wolf cavalry troops first.

While reporting the situation to His Majesty the Emperor, the wolf cavalry unit can also provide a combat force to the front.

After all, compared to their two regular cavalry units, the wolf cavalry units were more flexible in their fighting methods.

It always comes in handy in the battles that follow.

And he and the cavalry team of Burigud chose to stay here and escort the logistics troops, so as not to come to the steppe cavalry to rob the grain again.

Early the next morning, under the personal escort of the cavalry, the logistics unit again escorted a large amount of grain and grass and rushed towards the front line.

After such a delay, I am afraid that the grain and grass will have to arrive some time late.

However, the front-line troops themselves carry a part of the grain and grass resources, and there is still a margin for error.

Now turn the camera to the front line.

After sending a cavalry team to rush to the aid of the logistics troops, Luo Ji let his army rest in the city for two days.

Soon after, the attack was again launched on the next city of the Zarkhanian steppe country.

Along the way, the army of their civilization in all worlds can be said to be invincible.

On the opposite side, although several steppe cavalry were arranged along the way to harass them.

Trying to drain their energy and forces even further.

However, the number of steppe cavalry was limited, only a few hundred.

On Luo Ji's side, although most of the cavalry has been sent by him to rush to the aid of the logistics troops.

But there are still 800 cavalry under Luo Cheng's command to mobilize.

Therefore, the steppe cavalry did not pose any threat to him at all.

According to the information provided by the Spiegel secret agent.

There are four cities in the Zarkhan steppe country.

They are all small earthen towns that are similar to border cities.

The distance between them is not far away.

This pattern, for Luo Ji, will only make it more convenient for him to attack.

In a short period of time, the city wall of the second city of the Zarhan steppe country completely collapsed under the indiscriminate bombardment of Luo Ji's row of siege equipment.

The entire city naturally fell into Luo Ji's hands without accident.

But at this time, Luo Ji's face was basically not very happy.

The whole mood is getting more and more solemn.

Because the garrison of the second city is still weak and pitiful.

In the siege battle, he even killed two generals of the Zarkhanian steppe state.

But he didn't feel any substance.

What kind of idea Siqin is up to, let's not say for the time being.

But the atmosphere of the army under his command is getting more and more relaxed......

At this moment, the soldiers in the barracks in the city, one by one, are basically no different from winning the battle.

I didn't feel any tension at all.

This made Luo Ji clearly aware that his army was beginning to slacken......

When the soldiers were resting, they gathered in groups.

While showing off his achievements, he ridiculed the rabble of the Zarkhanian steppe country.

As if victory in this war is already an established fact.

This state of affairs is definitely not good.

But in the face of this situation, Luo Ji can't say anything yet.

Because the truth is that they've won all the way to now, and there's no pressure to win.

Can he rebuke the soldiers at such times?

Gather all the soldiers together and talk to each other?

Apparently not.

They were not defeated, and they did not make a mistake.

It's just that in their respective breaks, they get together and brag about it.

Luo Ji had no reason to reprimand them at all.

If he did so, he would only incur the displeasure of the soldiers and make them feel baffled.

At the same time, it did not achieve the effect he wanted.

However, the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, how could Luo Ji not know this truth?

"Could this be the purpose of Siqin?"

The rise of this thought made Luo Ji feel a little incredible.

To use so many soldiers as cannon fodder just to make them proud and complacent?

This is a stupid solution no matter how you look at it, and the price is inevitably too heavy.

Rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Luo Ji beckoned and motioned for Wang Kai to call Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng came quickly.

After asking Luo Cheng to sit down on the side, Luo Ji didn't talk nonsense and asked directly......

"Do you feel the atmosphere in the camp?"

Faced with this problem, Luo Cheng didn't seem to have too many surprises.

Instead, he nodded rather calmly.

"The soldiers are starting to slacken."

At this point, Luo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke again......

"But this is also something that can't be helped, after all, our army has won all the way to the present, and the other party is really weak and pitiful, whoever is replaced, I'm afraid it will inevitably relax."

Hearing this, Luo Ji showed a look of surprise on his face.

"You've seen it quite thoroughly."

In this regard, Luo Cheng showed a wry smile on his face.

"It's a shame to say that when the last general went south, he also slackened ......"

As he spoke, Luo Cheng pulled open his collar slightly.

I saw that on the side of the end of his neck, a hideous scar was exposed.

"Until one time, the last general was almost cut off by a native."

His gaze swept over the scar, and Luo Ji nodded quietly.

There is no doubt that Luo Cheng has already tasted the lesson of blood.

As long as the generals are still calm and not complacent.

Then the situation will not collapse.

Thinking of this, Luo Ji felt a little relieved.

But the soldiers, on their part, can't let them relax too much.

"Luo Cheng, when I notify you, I will say that our logistics troops have been attacked by a large number of grassland cavalry, and there is a problem with the logistics materials that should have been delivered in the near future, and from today onwards, we will begin to reduce the supply of three meals for each soldier."

Luo Cheng, who heard this, was stunned at first.

Immediately, the two eyes couldn't help but light up.

Their Majesty's hand is really clever.

Under normal circumstances, the logistics of the army gives problems.

As an officer, he will definitely try his best to hide it, so as not to expose the news and shake the morale of the army.

But Luo Ji's hand did the opposite.

Now their army has won consecutive battles, and it can be said that their morale is high.

At this juncture, the news is announced.

At the cost of a slight drop in morale.

Add a little pressure to the slackening soldiers.

This hand, no matter how you think about it, you don't lose money.

Most importantly, it's a real thing.

In case Bai Ze and they arrived one step late, the grain would really be robbed.

With this dose of preventive injection here, the morale of the soldiers who have been mentally prepared for a long time will not drop sharply.

It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Luo Cheng broke a fist.

"Your Majesty is wise, I will send someone to inform you at the end!"

The update is sent, thank you for the monthly pass of "Starry Sky Nocturne"!
