"Who did that?!"

"General, according to the reconnaissance of the cavalry, it should be a group of horse bandits who attacked the grain convoy. ▲≥八▲≥八▲≥ read ▲≥ book, .√.≧o"

When they heard that it was a horse bandit, the two guards frowned, looked at each other, and saw each other's doubts, wasn't it a premeditated attack? It's just a group of horse bandits robbing grain?

"Order the Feather Cavalry to send a cavalry unit to exterminate this group of horse bandits, and the safety of the grain route must be ensured."

"No!"

"How many days can the food and grass in the army last?"

One of the older guards looked at the quartermaster.

The quartermaster hurriedly stood up and replied, "General Hui, the grain and grass in the army are only enough for the army for three days. ”

Because of the long distance and the shortage of food in the rear, it was far from being able to meet the operational needs of the army, so there was not a lot of food in the army.

"Quickly send people to urge the next batch of grain and grass, and we must ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army."

"Before the arrival of the general, you must gather enough food."

"No!"

As the people who lead the army, these two guards naturally understand the importance of grain and grass, so they dare not have any negligence.

However, the officers and soldiers did not know that it was not ordinary horse bandits who attacked the grain and grass, but a premeditated attack to sabotage the grain transportation line.

Zhang Yan, who led the attack on the emperor's ** grain transportation team, was born as a bandit and was familiar with the terrain of the mountains. They are very familiar with how to attack and how to evade pursuit.

Nanyang Mansion City

Late at night, it was silent, quiet and serene, it was already the third watch, at this time, two scouts outside the city, holding torches along the official road and rushing towards the Nanyang City Gate overnight. +∧ Eight + ∧ Eight + ∧ Reading + ∧ Books, .※.→o

"Open the gates!"

"We are a black flag banner and a hundred households, this is my seal!"

"There is an urgent military situation to enter the city!"

Whether it is the rules of the empire or the rules of the rebels, the city gates are to be closed at night, and they will not be opened easily. At this moment, the rebel soldiers on duty on the city wall were alarmed by the two horsemen who called the door below, and after asking for their identity, they checked that the seal was correct, and it was the person with the black flag.

Immediately the rope was lowered from the city and the two men were pulled up directly from the city.

Although the number of rebels is very large, but the mysterious black flag spy is still curious, the soldiers guarding the city can't help but look at it a few more times with curiosity, knowing that this is a soldier directly under the marshal, they don't dare to have the slightest delay, take out two horses, two black flags turned on horseback, and went straight to the rebel army's barracks.

The sound of horses' hooves in the middle of the night unsurprisingly alarmed the patrolling soldiers.

Knowing that it was the Black Flag, he immediately returned to report the news, and the guards immediately let them in as required after confirming their identities.

The two followed the guards to turn left and right, and went around to the west side of the Chinese army, in front of an extremely heavily guarded location.

Yang Qi was dressed in simple clothes, and there was Jiang Feng next to him, and the two were discussing, when they heard that the two black flag fanzi came to the barracks late at night, they expected that there was important information.

After the two saluted, they directly reported the news of their inquiry at the junction of Yunxi County and Ansan County.

"There are two guard regiments, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are stationed at the intersection of the two counties, and it seems that they are rushing towards Nanyang Mansion City? Maybe only five or six days away? ”

This news, although the carrier pigeon had already arrived, when Qian Hu reported the information, Jiang Feng's face changed, and he couldn't believe that the imperial court reacted so quickly, so he sent someone to confirm the authenticity of the news.

When I heard the news tonight, my face was still a little pale, and the Empire's counterinsurgency army was really coming.

"Where did the news come from? Did you see it with your own eyes? What is the approximate number of officers and soldiers? Can you confirm any of the characteristics? Yang Qi, who was also frightened, asked a series of questions. According to his judgment, the Empire's counterinsurgency army will not arrive until at least January next year.

This news, which did not match his expectations, caused him to feel strongly uneasy.

"General Hui, the news is that we saw it with our own eyes, and after receiving the information from General Zhang Yanzhang, we immediately went to the scene to investigate. And followed General Zhang to attack their grain convoy, captured several prisoners, and obtained information from their torture. ”

Because the two of them remembered Yang Qi's confession that "any official and military intelligence must be reported as soon as possible", they rushed back overnight after the torture.

If there are no surprises, further news will come back after a day or two at most.

"As for the number of officers and soldiers......

Zhang Baihu personally went to investigate and said: "The number of people I calculated is consistent with Zhang Yan's intelligence, the whole two guard regiments, tens of thousands of elites, I heard that they came from Lianzhou, and they are very well-equipped, so they are not easy to mess with at first glance." ”

Saying this, Zhang Baihu drew two rough patterns on the ground with his toes.

Needless to say, one of them is the Empire's Xuanlong Banner. this
