Section 43 Looting
readx;
Although he has been prepared for the arrival of the Kamans, Jin Zecheng found that he still underestimated the cavalry marching speed of the Kamans, his two cavalry wings had just moved to the Ganlan Fortress to ambush it, and the two 10,000 cavalry of the Kamans had approached the Caizhai Grain Depot, fortunately, the remaining one million stone grain had begun to be shipped in the past two days, and the Siathrow people seemed to be in urgent need of this batch of grain, and they actually mobilized and collected more than 4,000 vehicles of different sizes within three days, the first two batches of vehicles had already left the Caizhai Grain Depot and passed through the Ganlan Fortress, and the latter two batches of grain had also passed through Yinchuan Prefecture and were heading towards Ganlan, only by this time the cavalry of the Kamanites had already arrived.

Jin Zecheng did not intend to ambush the Kaman people at this time, if the light armored cavalry of the Kaman people was not weak in combat effectiveness and the cavalry of the two wings in his hands, not to mention that the other party had an absolute advantage in numbers, he had to wait for a suitable time, waiting for the Kaman people to put all their minds on food is to give them another fatal blow.
In the face of the mighty two teams of grain carts that were slowly marching northward, the first Kaman cavalry vanguard to arrive almost had red eyes, the first team of convoys full of grain had passed the Ganlan fortress, about to enter the territory of the Sithro Empire, from here into the territory of the Sithro Empire There is a road intersection, which is the main road connecting the Siathrow Empire and their own empire, the road is in good condition, it is a main road connecting the southern region of the Liboa countries, from where the vehicle can be directly driven to the north gate of Jiayuguan, and from there it can also go north to the capital Budli CityFurther east and even along the northern foothills of the Zagros Mountains to Northern Térok, the road is in much better condition than in the south.
The second convoy has also passed Yinchuan City, is heading north, when the Kaman vanguard cavalry found these two fat sheep sent to the door, the mood is simply not known to describe it, but soon they found that they were too happy, this batch of grain is actually all the food purchased by the Siathrow people from the western Xinjiang, in the face of the food in front of them, but they can't do it, this smell is enough to have the eyes of the Kaman people who have been tormented by logistics problems and are about to go crazy.
The news was fed back to Ferdinand for the first time, and it was only at this time that Ferdinand understood why the same northwest was one, and why the reactions of Qingyang and Yinchuan were completely different, it turned out that this batch of grain had already been sold to the Xislo people, and no longer belonged to the people of Western Xinjiang, no wonder the people of Western Xinjiang would make an expression of facing a great enemy in Qingyang, but in Yinchuan it was so leisurely that it made people's teeth itch.
But now there is no way to retreat, the nomadic cavalry under Li Wufeng must have been desperately chasing here from all directions, and if he delayed a little, he was afraid that these tens of thousands of troops would be buried here, but if he returned empty-handed like this, not only General Miley would not be able to spare him, but even Ferdinand himself and his subordinates felt that they were too much of a bag. I think that it is precisely because of the betrayal of the Sithlos that the original alliance of friendship and mutual assistance of the Liberian countries tends to disintegrate, especially now that the Sithlos are fighting with Li Wufeng, they will get so much food supply from the people of Xijiang, and their own side has to run around for this food.
Seeing that the eyes of the officers were on his face, Ferdinand didn't know how to make a decision at this time, according to the intelligence, there was still a large amount of grain in the grain depot on the outskirts of Yinchuan City, but these grains had already been paid for by the Sithroes, and the grain trucks of the two teams were already on the road, not to mention, there was no grain belonging to the people of Western Xinjiang in the entire Yinchuan grain reserve, maybe it was time to make a decision.
Some anxious to listen to the crotch of the horse whirling in place, although Ferdinand knew that he was already a tiger riding a tiger, he had to take this step, but even so, he still could not make such a decision neatly, after all, the consequences that may be brought about may be catastrophic, although the Sithlo people have gradually alienated their empire, but the same origin, the same belongs to the Liberian countries, and the Liboa countries signed a mutual assistance and friendship alliance at the beginning has not been invalid, once his army robs the food of the allies, what kind of consequences will be triggered, Ferdinand He really can't predict。
Looking up, several Ten Thousand Riders were waiting for their decision, and it was clear that they were all looking forward to this moment, but did they understand the consequences of this decision?
Later generations could not understand what Ferdinand thought at the time, and Ferdinand never mentioned to outsiders afterwards why he did this, but his actions were unanimously supported by the officers and all the soldiers at the time. Later, when the Cameanti [***] court investigated the cause and effect of this incident, Ferdinand also took his share of responsibility, and if it were not for the joint guarantee of Nick and Miley, I am afraid that Ferdinand would have been hanged on the noose.
After ordering the three thousand troops to forcibly escort the grain convoy that was about to enter the territory of the Sislo Empire to be rerouted to his own country, Ferdinand ordered the remaining seven thousand troops to forcibly take over the second convoy between Yinchuan Fucheng and Ganlan Fortress, regardless of the difficulty of vehicle passage in the wilderness, ordered the convoy to bypass the Ganlan Fortress to the north, and in order to ensure that the second convoy could safely bypass the Ganlan Fortress, Ferdinand even specially ordered a 10,000-strong cavalry cavalry to monitor near the Ganlan Fortress, once the Western Frontier Army in the Ganlan Fortress attacked, his own 10,000 cavalry team can give a merciless blow.
The remaining two 10,000 cavalry teams, except for one 10,000 cavalry team wandering around Yinchuan Mansion and was responsible for monitoring the possible Western Frontier Army around Yinchuan and its surroundings, Ferdinand led 10,000 cavalry and more than 30,000 pack horses to the grain storage depot on the outskirts of Yinchuan City, preparing to use these more than 30,000 pack horses to carry out the third wave of looting.
Mardenovan never thought that there would be such a big mistake in the grain affairs he handled, and the problem was not with the people of Western Xinjiang, but with the Kamans, he couldn't figure out how the Kamans could come to this Yinchuan grain storage depot thousands of miles away to snatch the grain belonging to the allies, which simply made him unbelievable.
When he received a report from Yinchuan Mansion that the Kaman dogs jumped over the wall to grab food in Yinchuan Mansion, Maldeno did not realize what this had to do with him, the fact that the Kaman and the people of Western Xinjiang had been in a state of war was well known, and it was only natural for the Kamans to loot in the enemy's territory, but Maldeno did not understand how Li Wufeng could let the Kamans disturb him in his hinterland, which was obviously not in line with Li Wufeng's spleen. However, considering that Li Wufeng is now stationed in the south, and this northwest army is empty, it is reasonable for the Kamans to see this and sweep Yinchuan.
But why didn't he expect that this group of Kaman soldiers who were already driven crazy by hunger actually targeted themselves directly, and fell in love with so much grain belonging to the Sithro Empire, when the emergency report from Yinchuan Mansion reached him again, and he also found a large number of Kaman people appearing near the grain storage depot, Mardeno realized that this matter did not seem to be as simple as he imagined. At this time, Mardeno did a very wise thing, that is, before the Carmans had completed the siege of the grain depot, he quietly ordered the soldiers of the guard who had come with him to get out in time to inform the garrison general stationed at Nuremberg of the situation, asking him to immediately send troops to protect the grain transport, and to ask the other party to immediately report to the capital that the Carmans were likely to rob the empire of the grain.
Ferdinand looked at the unruly Sithro official in front of him, his face was cloudy, to be honest, Ferdinand admitted that he was not inferior to others in the war march, but this political level was not what he was good at, this arrogant guy in front of him was still so arrogant when the sword was added, and even commanded his subordinates to stop their actions immediately, so presumptuous and arrogant, it was simply unheard of. Hearing this, Ferdinand took a break from his busy schedule to meet the Siathrow ambassador for grain transshipment.
In fact, Maldeno had already understood that he was in the hands of the cunning Westerners when the Kamanan army approached the grain depot, and the Westerners must have known in advance that the Kamans would raid Yinchuan and loot grain, but in that case, if they wanted to transfer this million loads of grain, no one could do it, no wonder they were so enthusiastic and enthusiastic about delivering the grain to themselves, and they also found some fabricated reasons to deceive themselves, but they hated themselves for knowing nothing and falling into such a big trap. But at this moment, it is no longer the time to regret it, not to mention that he accepted the bribe from the other party, he has already signed the acceptance procedures, and there are many witnesses, and the people of Xijiang have washed all their responsibilities cleanly.
However, Maldeno does not blame the people of the Western Xinjiang, after all, they do things according to the rules, and there is nothing out of the ordinary, at most, they use the rules of the game to avoid risks, but these Kamans came abruptly, and if they want to seize this batch of grain, it is also that they don't know that this is something that belongs to the Sithro Empire, once they know the details, they should be able to distinguish the importance.
"You are the so-called Baron Ferdinand, the commander of the Kamanians?" Marderno asked as calmly as he could, his eyes fixed on the other.
Ferdinand wanted to answer no, this kind of blatant raiding was not quite in line with his character, but the situation forced him to do it, and the target of the raid had changed from the original planned enemies of the Western Xinjiang to the allies of the Sithro, this huge contrast made him not know how to answer for a while.
