Time seems to pass very slowly before dark, and when it gets dark, it's early in the morning. And they were much more weary.

When people are tired, they will be cold, and when they are cold, they will be hungry, especially when hundreds of prisoners walk together, and one person will make a commotion, and a group of people will be in a commotion.

City Lord Locke looked at Nangong Sima and said, "I have given you all the prisoners in the prison, so I can only support you like this." ”

Nangong Sima smiled: "I'm already very grateful to the City Lord." I wonder when their supplies will be distributed? ”

"You know, the supply to the army has stretched me to the limit, and the supply of your development army has been halved, where can I get the supply for them?"

Nangong Sima said: "If they don't go to the south, don't the adults have to take care of the food, now that they have gone to the south, the climate, conditions, and work are not as comfortable as in the prison, and if there is no food, I am afraid that they will have to return to the prison in a hurry." ”

The city lord Locke thought for a moment and said, "This way, send them a batch of supplies." The back is gone. I can only help so much, and that's all for the front-line army. I understand your difficulties, but I really can't help it. ”

"Okay, alas, let's get this batch of supplies first, it's better than nothing." Nangong Sima waved his hand, and the soldiers under his hand went in to transport supplies.

The prisoners were tied up in a group of five and trapped in a group of three and marched side by side. On either side are closely escorted soldiers, and in the middle, there is a two-meter-wide distance, and the supervising soldiers wander. The latest chapter has been uploaded

In the dark, the prisoners were tied hands, gagged, and dressed in black. The leader of the team was almost in front of the south gate, and the tail behind had just left the city lord's mansion.

Nangong Sima said: "There are still not enough manpower, and we have to trouble the city lord to recruit another batch of people to supplement it." ”

City Lord Locke said: "That's not good, we have already recruited a batch last time, and now there are no extra manpower, we have to think about the front line and leave enough war reserves." ”

"Then I have a request, please ask the city lord to allow me to recruit myself, isn't it a violation of any rules?"

"Of course, it is allowed by law for private equity workers to work, but paid labor must be guaranteed."

"That's natural." Nangong Sima laughed.

Supplies were drawn by oxen and walked at the back of the procession, with a total of 13 carts, each guarded by four soldiers.

Nangong Sima saw that the team had finished, so he said goodbye to the city lord, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting and left.

When Nangong Sima and the shadow of the convoy walked away, a person came out from behind the city lord Locke, covered in a cloak, and said in a deep voice: "You are so generous, send supplies, and also give people, and it is a promise." ”

City Lord Locke smiled, as if he knew that he would appear, and said, "I've done enough foreplay, and the rest is up to you." If you do, won't all those supplies still be mine? ”

With that, Locke glanced at the man and turned to go into the building.

The man waved his hand, and an assassin behind him quickly ran out.

"Nangong Sima, you can't go far tonight!" Muttering to himself, the man sneered and turned to disappear into the darkness.

Nangong Sima rode the chief out of the south gate and saw the procession marching in order with torches. Soldiers on patrol were checking back and forth in groups of five.

It's dark, but it's quiet, and it's a little cold, a little sleepy, and a little sober.

Nangong Sima said something to one of the guards beside him, and the guard rode away into the night.

Nangong Sima hurried up to catch up with the convoy transporting supplies, and said to the leading soldiers: "Pull your cart, come with me, don't make a noise behind, and quietly follow you." ”

The order was conveyed verbally, and the carriages, without the light of torches, followed Nangong Sima westward for a while, and in the darkness of the night they stopped on the vast flat ground of the suburbs.

There are more than 60 miles to walk from the south gate to the big camp, and this more than 60 miles of road is a flat river, if the red house wants to attack, it will definitely choose here, and entering the forest is not suitable for cavalry movement at all.

Cavalry was the focus of this attack. As for the ambush of more than 400 people led by Gao Dazhuang, it was purely an opening scene.

If you want to crush an army on the plains, cavalry is the best option.

Nangong Sima thought that this matter must not be so simple when he got Gao Dazhuang saying that the red prince ordered him to lead people to attack the prisoners.

Although he was skeptical, he was still not sure until the message of Red Youth. If there were only those who were tall and strong, it would be impossible to compete with an army of NPCs.

So what the red youth told was the message of the second wave of attacks.

Coupled with the generous promises and promises of the city lord Locke not long ago, Nangong Sima's affirmation was further strengthened. It's only when you know that what you've sent out will soon be back in your hands.

The carriage came to a halt in a row. The soldiers stood in the dark, not knowing what to do.

Nangong Sima whistled, and suddenly a lot of soldiers stood up faintly in the darkness.

Nangong Sima said: "Change! ”

The soldiers who emerged from the darkness unloaded all the supplies on the cart and pulled the empty cart away.

The ground was full of supplies, and there stood soldiers who didn't know what to do.

Nangong Sima said: "Don't panic, wait a while, you can go home." ”

The convoy followed behind the prisoners, lighting torches, one torch at a time, 13 in all, illuminating the surroundings. Each car was tightly covered with military cloth and tied up firmly.

Nangong Sima watched the torches in the distance become smaller and smaller, and watched them go away.

A soldier ran by him and said, "My lord, the soldiers are ready, a total of 100 horses." ”

"Start loading."

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers, as if with night eyes, took a horse, and hunched the bags of supplies on the ground onto the horse's back, then tied them up and led them away, and then another horse came, and began to load the camels again.

After more than ten minutes, a hundred horses had been loaded, and there were still a dozen bags of supplies left.

Nangong Sima looked at the people who were idle and had nothing to do, and said, "Aren't you idle and fine?" Take turns carrying them, and there will be horses to pick you up halfway. ”

The men were still stunned and didn't realize what was going on, so they were taken to the front of the supplies, and the two of them carried the supply bags into the darkness farther away. He was surrounded by well-supplied horses and heavily armed soldiers.

Nangong Sima urged the chief to quickly follow the convoy, checked that everything was safe, and then ran to the prisoner team.

The vast majority of the prisoners marched in obedience, but there were still a few who liked to challenge authority.

In a squad of five prisoners, one of them was an old man with white hair and a slow walk. The five people were tied together, the pace was inevitably chaotic, and the road was uneven, so the old man walked very hard.

As he walked, the burly man in the lead walked quickly impatiently, and the man in the middle had to follow quickly. The old man in the back didn't have time to speed up, and suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground.

As soon as the old man fell, the rope was short, and he grabbed the person in the middle, and could not move forward, and the big man in front turned around and came to the old man, kicked the old man in the stomach, and lifted it up vigorously.

The surrounding prisoners whined and screamed, and the patrolling soldiers spotted it. Immediately came up and stopped him.

There was also a commotion in the ranks of several prisoners next to him, but thanks to the soldiers in front of them, they reacted quickly and pressed them in time.

Nangong Sima rode the chief to him, and saw the old man lying on the ground with a mouth full of blood, lying on the ground breathing weakly, curled up in a ball.

The surroundings were quiet, and although the other teams were still moving forward, they all stared at Nangong Sima, all wanting to see how this new master would deal with this matter.

The soldiers also glanced at him from time to time, also waiting for the results.

The wounded prisoner stared at Nangong Sima with excitement in his eyes.

Nangong Sima said, "Give the old man a horse." ”

The soldiers helped the old man to go.

Nangong Sima looked at all the prisoners and said loudly: "You are all prisoners in the prison, and you are also on the road, that is when you arrive at the camp, once you work with peace of mind, you will have a home and a brother!" And I promise, in three years you will all be free! ”

"But if you think in your hearts that I will ignore the crimes you have committed on the road because of the lack of manpower, and because of the lack of manpower you can do whatever you want, you are mistaken!"

"You have also seen that the lord of the city handed you over to me, but only gave a third of the supplies, why? I'm going to use the supplies they've worked so hard to give to you and feed you, and I've done my best at first! ”

"So, if something happens on the road, who wants to run, or who wants to cause an accident, congratulations, there are a lot of hungry animals in this big forest."

"If anyone wants to challenge my authority, come on. I don't mind killing a few more people. And he is your first example! ”

Nangong Sima pointed at the big man and said, "Behead the public, tell all the prisoners, troublemakers, and escapees, and kill them on the spot!" ”

The big man whimpered and struggled, and was escorted away by two soldiers. A moment later, his head was lifted along the way with a look of astonishment.

Suddenly, the whole team was silent, and the prisoners were all calm. The team returned to order and moved on.

Nangong Sima remounted the chief and supervised the periphery. Behind him were 6 guards.

Suddenly, an old voice behind him shouted, "My lord, my lord! Can I say a few words to you? ”

Nangong Sima looked back and saw that the old man was walking beside him, shouting at him. A guard was holding him back.

Nangong Sima took the chief, walked up to him, and said, "Old man, are you better?" ”

The old man nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you so much, my lord!" I'm so much better! I've never been treated so well since I went to prison 10 years ago! ”

"Okay, just walk slowly, just keep up with the group." Nangong Sima turned around to leave.

The old man suddenly stopped him and said, "My lord, I know who among them has been arranged!" ”

Nangong Sima sneered in his heart, sure enough, they planted people in the prisoners, and the purpose must have been to incite the prisoners to escape during the sneak attack.

"Thousands, can you recognize them?" Nangong Sima asked.

The old man said, "I am in prison for food, and I know everyone's faces!" ”

Nangong Sima laughed and said, "Guard, take him to recognize people!" ”
