After discussing the military situation, Wang Jun immediately ordered Jiang Qin as the main general, Lin Chong and Li Dian as the deputy generals, and led the 15,000-strong Wing Dragon Army to carry out the plan to destroy the grain route.

The pterodactyl that covered the sky and the sun rose from the camp, and in order not to startle the snake, Jiang Qin directly ordered the army to stay away from the direction of Autumn Leaf Castle and bypass the Red Leaf Mountain on the side.

Crossing the Red Leaf Mountain, the Pterodactyl Army flew to the back of Autumn Leaf Castle, and as far as the eye could see, there was a verdant grassland, only a straight road with five carriages passing side by side leading directly to the Yanjing Imperial City, and the breeze blew through with a burst of green waves.

The sun rose above everyone's heads, and everyone couldn't help but feel warm under the warm sun, with a warm breeze blowing on their faces, Li Dian looked down at the endless grassland, and said with a smile: "The scenery here is really good, it should be my Daqian's income, I really hope to be under my Daqian's command soon." ”

Jiang Qin laughed at Li Dian and shouted: "In order for this beautiful piece of mountains and rivers to be brought under my command, we must enter Yanjing as soon as possible and kill the puppet emperor."

I believe that Your Majesty will not be stingy with rewards, high-ranking officials are generous, and the panacea will definitely be given in large sums of money. ”

One of the 17 or 8-year-old soldiers couldn't help but fantasize when he heard Jiang Qin's words, and shouted with a look of longing: "Hehe, when the Great Departure Dynasty is established, I will definitely find a matchmaker, go to Tianlong World to talk about relatives, and find a well-informed girl to marry, I heard that every girl there is a scholar." ”

Lin Chong looked back at the soldier who was talking, his heart moved, and he said with a smile: "If you kid has made a contribution to this battle, General Ben will personally help you say a family affair when he goes back." ”

"General Lin, look at it, I, Shi Lei, will definitely make a contribution this time, and don't forget what I said today when the time comes." Shi Lei said with a fighting spirit.

Seeing this, Li Dian couldn't help but shout: "Shi Lei, don't worry, General Ben will help you testify, if General Lin doesn't help you say kiss, General Ben will help you say kiss." ”

"That's the end of the joke, I don't know when we will meet the convoy of food deliveries, and we must not miss the credit for these door-to-door deliveries." Jiang Qin interrupted everyone's laughter and shouted.

"Yes, General." The army regained its former high morale.

Jiang Qin and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, all of this was discussed by the three of them, since Zhang He fought with the hungry wolf army, the surviving soldiers returned to the camp to spread the news, and the generals found that the soldiers had a sense of awe for the kind of non-ending battle of the Dali army, so the generals decided to tell some jokes before the battle to distract the tension in the hearts of the soldiers.

After flying in the air for half an hour, Dali's Yuanliang team never appeared, and no matter how beautiful the scenery was, there was some fatigue, so the spirit of the soldiers disappeared a lot.

Shi Lei pointed to the black dot at the end and shouted excitedly: "General, do you see if that is a convoy transporting grain?" ”

The three of them looked at Shi Lei's fingers, the black dots were getting bigger and bigger, like a long snake, Lin Chong couldn't help but admire: "Good boy, you have seen so far away from the tricks, we didn't see it clearly, but let you find out first, and credit you." ”

Shi Lei scratched the back of his head, and smirked: "The general doesn't know, at that time, there were thieves in his hometown, and the little one relied on this pair of tricks with excellent eyesight to eat at home, and was responsible for monitoring whether there were robbers outside the village at the sentry tower." ”

"Haha, with Shi Lei's eyes, General Ben believes that Lin Chong has lost." Jiang Qin laughed. "Guys, it's time to hunt, raise your bow and arrows."

"Yes, General." Everyone took off their longbows and raised their bows and arrows and waited for the order to be fired.

This convoy consisted of 300 wagons, with the banner of Dali, protected by 1,000 soldiers and escorted by 800 people, and each wagon was piled full of sacks.

Jiang Qinde aimed his bow and arrow at the leader of the general let go, "whoosh", the long arrow pierced the sky, pierced through the chest, the enemy was unguarded, and suddenly his neck was crooked, and he immediately fell off his horse and forgot about it, and in an instant, all the soldiers released the bowstring, and the arrow rain fell from the sky.

"Enemy attack." The soldiers in the back only saw the captain fall from his horse, but they had no idea where the enemy was, and could only run around like headless flies, dodging possible arrows.

The wiser ones immediately got under the wagons, and most of them left the wagons and fled in all directions.

The cadres flew condescendingly in the sky and could slowly reap the lives of the enemy by simply firing arrows, but the counterattack of the grain transport team on the other side had no effect on the cadres, and the soldiers who resisted after a while were gradually eaten away.

Seeing that the soldiers below had no power to resist, Jiang Qin took the lead and descended, holding a longbow at this group of soldiers who had no fighting spirit, and shouted: "Put down your weapons, and those who kneel on the ground will live." ”

"Put down your weapons, and those who kneel on the ground live."

"Put down your weapons, and those who kneel on the ground live."

Before the words fell, these defeated troops immediately threw away the weapons in their hands, bowed their heads and knelt on the ground, waiting for Jiang Qin and the others to fall.

Jiang Qin put away his longbow and gave Lin Chong a look and motioned for him to check the sacks in these carriages.

Lin Chong immediately jumped off the pterodactyl, picked up an iron knife from the ground, randomly cut a few sacks, nodded at Jiang Qin, and said, "General, most of these are grain, some fire oil and medicinal herbs. ”

Jiang Qin grinned and said, "Very good, good start." Come, pour all these wagons with oil for me, and prepare to burn them. ”

Li Dian looked at these captives, a fierce color flashed in his eyes, and the red tassel gun in his hand pointed at these soldiers and people, and asked, "General, how to deal with these people..."

As he spoke, he brushed his right hand around his neck.

These captives paid attention to Li Dian's movements, and suddenly felt a little impulsive and resisted in their hearts, and they all looked at Jiang Qin, as long as Jiang Qin ordered to kill them, they were ready to fight to the death.

Jiang Qin stretched out his hand to stop him, turned his head and scolded Li Dian: "General Li, my great cadre is a benevolent and righteous army, how can I kill prisoners?" If General Ben hears similar words again, Hugh blames General Ben for not being emotional! ”

Li Dian looked at Jiang Qin in surprise, his brows furrowed slightly, he really couldn't understand why Jiang Qin didn't agree to kill these prisoners, only when these people died could the leakage of information be delayed, but the obedience of the Daqian army, even if they didn't understand it, they could only wait until after the war, and sighed: "The last general will obey the order." ”

After a pause, he glanced at the captives and said, "General, what about these captives?" We were ordered to attack the grain routes in the rear, and we couldn't take them with us! ”

Jiang Qin looked at the group of captives, smiling, but there was indifference in his eyes, and he hugged his fists and said: "You are really sorry, my Daqian and Lichao are at war, and according to the intention of my lieutenant general, I should have killed you..."

Speaking of this, these captives suddenly struggled, for fear that Jiang Qin would spit out a 'kill' in his mouth, and begged for mercy, saying: "This general, please let the villain go!" There is a seventy-year-old mother on the villain, and a child waiting to be fed, and I hope the general will spare my life! ”

"General, please spare us! We will no longer dare to go against the big cadres. ”

"Spare your life! The general spares his life! ”

Jiang Qin's knife-like eyes swept over the captive, and said coldly, "Quiet." ”

All the cadres immediately raised their bows and arrows at these prisoners, and suddenly the words in the mouths of these prisoners were swallowed, and none of them dared to squeak.

Jiang Qin nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, so General Ben has decided not to kill you. ”

Hearing this, the captives relieved their hearts, bowed to Jiang Qin, and said, "Thank you for the general's mercy, thank you for the general's mercy." ”

Jiang Qin looked at these captives lightly, and waited for them to stop saluting before saying, "Although General Ben doesn't want to kill in vain, if you are just let go back to Autumn Leaf City, you will definitely continue to be the enemy of my great cadres, so each of you must leave something behind." ”

One of the captives, looking at Jiang Qin's eyes with some fear, smiled flatteringly, and said: "I hope this general can rest assured, the little Dink will immediately withdraw from the Dali army when he arrives in Autumn Leaf City, and he will definitely not be in harmony with Daqian again." ”

Jiang Qin said with a smile on his face: "Either leave something to live, or General Ben will kill you all, you choose?" ”

Dink smiled wryly when he heard this, and secretly said in his heart: The ants are still stealing, and I, Dink, still have decades to live, but I don't want to be buried for the sake of the big departure.

I Dink can be raised from a small pawn to the position of the general flag, not by heroic killing, but by self-knowledge, as long as he is alive to spend some more money to transfer to other cities, then there will be a large sum of gold and silver to be fished, but I don't want to die with this group of mud legs, I said fearfully: "The small one chooses the way to live, and the small one chooses the way to live." ”

Jiang Qin slowly put down the eyebrow knife in his hand, snorted coldly, and said, "That's good, otherwise General Ben is willing to give you a ride." ”

"Someone." Jiang Qinlang said.

"Yes, General." Defend the fist do.

"The general ordered all the people to cut off the thumbs of their hands, and the same was true for the prisoners of war, and then break a hamstring."

"Obey."

Immediately, three hundred soldiers jumped off the pterodactyl, pulled out the ring head knife at their waists, cut off all the thumbs of these captives, and picked off one of the hamstrings of the departing sergeants.

Jiang Qin turned his head to look at these carriages, which had not yet begun to burn, and said, "Leave a bag of gold sore medicine for them to stop the bleeding, and leave them half a cart of grain and grass, so that they can return to Autumn Leaves City." ”

"Yes."

Several soldiers left behind half a cart of grain and grass and a bag of gold medicine, and the rest of the carriage was poured with fire oil and burned with torches.

After all the grain and grass were burned to ashes, Jiang Qin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Withdraw." ”

The soldiers immediately boarded the pterodactyl and took off, stopping to rest by a river ten miles away.

Jiang Qin and the three of them sat on a stone, Li Dian ate dry food, drank water, and looked at Jiang Qin from time to time, with an expression of wanting to say something.

Jiang Qin noticed Li Dian's expression, ate the last mouthful of dry food in his hand, clapped his hands and said, "General Li Dian, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Dian threw away the dry food in his hand, got up and faced Jiang Qin, with a hint of warm anger, and asked: "I, Li Dian, am a rough person and don't know how to speak, I really can't figure it out, obviously I can kill those prisoners and cover up the news of our army's sneak attack on the grain road, why doesn't the general start?" ”

Lin Chong looked at Li Dian's expression a little excited, and pulled Li Dian's sleeve for fear of causing a conflict between the two, and said, "General Jiang Qin's actions will definitely have a reason, we just need to follow orders." ”

General Jiang Qin was not angry, and his loyalty to Daqian could be seen from Li Dian's performance, and he waved his hand and said: "General Lin Chong, don't worry, I, Jiang Qin, still have this measure, if I let General Li Dian hold it in my heart, maybe it will cause me to turn against each other." ”

Turning his head to look at Li Dian, he asked, "General Li Dian, do you know why we attacked the grain road again today?" ”

Li Dian immediately said: "The purpose of our attack on the grain road is to reduce the time of stalemate between Akiba City and our army, so that the granary of Akiba City will not be replenished from the dynasty, so that they will be in chaos and give our army a chance to take Akiba City." ”

"It's very well said, what we are doing today is to reduce the amount of grain stored in Akiba City and cut off their food and grass." Jiang Qin applauded and smiled.

As soon as the words changed, he said: "There is one thing you haven't thought about, now that the people are losing their hearts and minds from the chao, you can only rely on the majestic pass of Autumn Leaves City to stop my footsteps.

Why didn't General Ben kill these prisoners, it was because it was useless to block the news just a few times, as long as we attacked the grain convoy twice, and the grain convoy did not arrive on time, Akiba City would immediately know that someone was attacking the grain route in the rear, and the next time the grain was transported, a large army would definitely be sent to meet it.

In that case, we will kill all the prisoners, and we will not be able to delay for a few days, am I right? ”

Lin Chong, Li Dian thought for a while in his mind, nodded and said: "What the general said is right, but if you can delay the leakage of news for one more day, you can reduce the harm of a large army escorting a grain convoy!" Let's attack the grain convoy one more time. ”

Jiang Qin shook his head, looked in the direction of Autumn Leaf City to explain, his face showed a trace of ruthlessness, and said, "You are still far behind, our purpose is to accelerate the consumption of Autumn Leaf City's stock." But you forgot one thing, the hearts of the people who have left the dynasty have been lost, but the morale of the Akiba Castle army must not be shaken.

Do you know why I want to let the captives go back, now I have cut off the thumbs of all the captives, and they will not be able to carry knives, draw bows, or pick out their hamstrings, so they will not be able to go to the battlefield, and they will not be able to do heavy coolies

These people all suffered the pain of severed fingers in order to leave the court, and this time they entered Akiba City with great fanfare, and the high-level leaders of Akiba City couldn't kill these people, otherwise they would definitely make other soldiers and rabbits die and the fox would be sad, so Akiba City had to spend food to feed them.

After just a few times, it is equivalent to Akiba City having an extra part of the population that consumes food and grass out of thin air, but has no ability to contribute.

If there is enough food and grass, there is naturally nothing to say, once the time comes to the shortage of food and grass, you can watch, these soldiers who cannot continue to go to the battlefield will definitely clash with the soldiers of Akiba Castle. ”

Li Dian suddenly felt admiration, and he could figure it out if Li Dian was given some time, but Jiang Qin had thought about it in a short time, but he complained, bowed down, and said: "Li Dian was offended a lot just now, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”

Jiang Qin hurriedly got up, helped Li Dian up, and said with a smile: "Li Dian is serious, Your Majesty said that General Li Dian is a named Confucian general, with the style of a general, not different from Zhou Yu, for the time being, because of his lack of personal strength, he cannot lead the army alone, so Jiang Qin wants to thank him for learning from the general." ”

Li Dian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wang Jun to speak so highly of him, smiled modestly, and said, "We learn from each other and learn from each other." ”。

The three of them immediately laughed loudly, and the estrangement in their hearts was gone, and they felt a lot closer.

For five or six days in a row, Jiang Qin and others attacked two waves of grain convoys, and drove these captives to Akiba Castle, taking the initiative to help Akiba Castle increase its population by three or four thousand.
