Chapter 205

When marching and fighting, the most basic thing is to go first before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass.

He led people to travel long distances for a whole day, who would have thought that Meng Tian suddenly told him that the grain and grass were not kept up.

If this is the case, wouldn't the entire 30,000 soldiers of the Golden Fire Cavalry be hungry tonight?

The horses are fine, at least they can eat grass.

But what about the army? Is it difficult to drink cold water?

Meng Tian said solemnly: "Your Highness, could it be that we are marching too fast, and the grain, grass and baggage are all in the rear?" ”

"Possibly, you go and send a spy to the rear to inquire about the situation first!" Tang Yu said in a deep voice.

It's just that Tang Yu didn't know that Tang Long and Tang Shuheng joined forces again, not because the grain and grass baggage did not keep up, but because Tang Shuheng was in charge of the grain and grass baggage in the rear, and the cavalry's grain and grass baggage was transported according to the infantry standard.

To Tang Yu's horror, the spies didn't come back in the middle of the night, and then Tang Yu asked Meng Tian to send two more spies.

It wasn't until the early morning of the next day that one of the three spies rushed back, and this person said with a shocked expression: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, back to General Meng, his subordinates ran back for more than 80 kilometers, and the horse's legs were about to break, and I didn't see any shadow of grain and grass!" ”

Remember https://m in a second.

"What?" Tang Yu was taken aback.

At this moment, Tang Yu realized that he might be targeted.

If Tang Shuheng provided grain and grass baggage in accordance with the cavalry method, no matter how fast he marched, the spies would definitely be able to see the figure of the escort grain and grass baggage team fifty kilometers back.

However, the spies ran for 80 kilometers without seeing the shadow of grain and grass, which is enough to show the seriousness of the problem.

Meng Tian frowned and said: "Something is wrong, Your Highness, this is not right, the third prince is a smart person, it is impossible for him to make low-level mistakes, we must have been targeted!" ”

"!"

Tang Yu angrily scolded: "Tang Shuheng, this bastard, must be deliberately targeting us, General Meng, is there a place to provide supplies nearby?" ”

"Yes!" Meng Tian nodded solemnly.

Tang Yu asked, "Where?" ”

"Continue to walk sixty kilometers, is the fief of the fourth prince Qi King Tang Shuqi, the king of Qi and the third prince are twin brothers, the land in his territory is fertile, there is a granary, it seems to be a place dedicated to providing supplies for the infantry, if the king of Qi is willing to help us, that is the best result!" Meng Tian said.

"King Qi Tang Shuqi?"

Hearing this, Tang Yu sneered: "It's just a raccoon dog, go, go to the fiefdom of King Qi, if Tang Shuqi dares not to give us grain and grass, we will attack it!" ”

"Let's go!" Meng Tian waved his hand and shouted.

30,000 soldiers did not eat all night, and many of them were already hungry and rumbling.

When they arrived at the fiefdom of King Qi, it was already noon, and the 30,000 soldiers of the Golden Fire Cavalry could only drink water to satisfy their hunger.

Meng Tian pointed to the city in front of him and said: "Your Highness, in front is Youzhou City, this entire Youzhou City is the fief of King Qi, as far as I know, King Qi has at least 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and our golden fire cavalry is mainly based on cavalry, if it is used to attack the city, it will definitely not get any benefits!" ”

"Moreover, the soldiers are hungry, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, even if the King of Qi only has tens of thousands of soldiers to defend the city, it will be difficult for us to take it, Your Highness, in my opinion, first focus on negotiations!"

"Good!" Tang Yu nodded.

In order not to startle the snake, Tang Yu asked Meng Tian to command 30,000 golden fire cavalry to rest on the spot, and then he rushed towards Youzhou City with hundreds of cavalry.
