After listening to the report of the scouts, the brethren of Ruffian Qu also knew that it was not easy for such a huge army to secretly burn their grain and grass, not to mention that the grain and grass of this army were still placed in the center of the army, and unless they were all out of the army, no one would be able to approach these grain and grass at all.

"Aoxuan, what do you think we should do next?" Zhang Cheng asked Hou Aoxuan.

Hou Aoxuan pondered for a while and said, "It's impossible to face the army directly, we can only wait for Qu Chang and the four of them to come back!"

"That's all there is to it, so what are we going to do in the meantime?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Hou Aoxuan thought for a while and replied: "Qu Chang will definitely have to take action when he comes back, we will find him good news in advance, and wait for him to find us, so as to report the same way, and see what thoughts and strategies Qu Chang has!"

"Yes, let's find out the situation of this army first, and wait until Ling Yi and the others come back to formulate tactics and strategies!" Zhang Cheng also said in agreement.

After that, Zhang Cheng and the others began to continuously collect intelligence around the Northern Wilderness Cavalry, and all the information was gathered into the hands of Zhang Cheng and Hou Aoxuan one by one.

It was also in the afternoon of the same day that Ling Yi and Sun Ze and others finally caught up with Zhang Cheng and the ruffian.

As soon as they met, Zhang Chengcheng reported this morning's ambush battle to Ling Yi, which made Ling Yi and the others also praise it again and again, Ling Yi was worried that the ruffian would have problems when he met the enemy, but now it seems that everything is running normally.

The recruits have also grown a lot after the baptism of blood in these battles, and Hou Aoxuan's ability to control the battlefield has improved, and everything is developing in a good direction.

Zhang Cheng also reported to Ling Yi all the information they had discovered in an afternoon, and provided intelligence support for Ling Yi to formulate the following tactics.

After Zhang Cheng finished his report, he asked Ling Yi, "What do you say we should do next?"

Ling Yi replied directly: "Next, let's have a good rest!"

"Rest?" These words made Zhang Cheng, Hou Aoxuan and the others puzzled: "Lingyi, the war is not over yet, where are we going to rest?"

Ling Yi smiled and said, "We won't go anywhere else, just rest around the camp of the Northern Wilderness cavalry and monitor their every move!"

Zhang Cheng still asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by this? Why don't I understand!"

Ling Yi explained: "Now we don't have a chance to destroy the grain and grass of this army, we can't get inside, I can do something outside!"

"How can you do it outside?" asked Zhang Cheng.

Ling Yi replied: "Why do you say that this army is surrounded by grain and grass next to the big tent of the Chinese army, surrounded by heavy guards?"

"When marching and fighting, grain and grass are the most important, if you can't meet the amount of grain and grass used by the army, then you can't march and fight normally!" Zhang Cheng replied.

"You're right, food is the most basic guarantee for an army to win a war, no matter how good your strategy is, no matter how strong your morale is, there is no need to talk about it without food and grass. Besides, if there is not enough food, the morale will not be so high and strong!"

Ling Yi continued: "The actions of the Northern Wilderness cavalry show a problem, that is, their grain and grass are in short supply and cannot tolerate the slightest difference, or that there is a problem in the transportation of their grain and grass, and they are so strict in guarding it just to ensure that they have food!"

Zhang Chi was thoughtful, but Hou Aoxuan figured it out at once, and hurriedly asked: "Qu Chang, you mean, we will spend a few days to find out the grain and grass problem of this Northern Wilderness army, right?"

Ling Yi nodded: "Now we have to determine two questions, one is what is their grain reserves, and the second is where is their grain transportation route?"

Hou Aoxuan hurriedly said: "I'll arrange for someone to investigate!"

"Well, arrange it like this first, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to us!" Ling Yi said.

Zhang Cheng asked suspiciously: "Why do you say that the result is beneficial to us?"

Ling Yi explained: "If they only have these grains, then the further they go, the more passive they become, as long as the state army arrives, they can kill them without leaving a piece of armor." ”

"If they have a channel to transport grain, then just right, we have something to do!"

Listening to Ling Yi's answer, Zhang Cheng finally understood what he meant, hurriedly got up, and said, "I'll go and investigate in person!"

On the third day of Han Ce's siege, Ling Yi and the others went to investigate the situation in the city of the extreme east, in these three days, the Northern Wilderness army only had tiger and wolf horses harassing Han Ce's Youzhou army from time to time, although the other soldiers were all eyeing each other, they did not see a single person out of the city to attack Han Ce.

Such a move made Ling Yi understand that everything he and the others had done had achieved great results. And it can be seen that the supply problem of the Northern Wilderness is really a weakness!

In this situation, the most profitable thing is naturally Han Ce, who is cowering in the barracks and does not dare to show his face, he does not dare to use troops easily, there is a strong enemy in front of him, and there is a sneak attack in the back, he can only order the soldiers to exercise as little as possible, reduce consumption, and save three days' food into five days' supply.

As a result, Han Ce himself didn't have enough to eat, let alone those soldiers.

Now he is worried about what he will do when the five days are up and the support army does not arrive.

At that time, the soldiers will have to slaughter their mounts to attack, and over time their own armies will be defeated.

Now he didn't know that the soldiers of the Northern Wilderness were also facing the same problem, and the war had been going on for more than a month, and both armies had encountered problems in the problem of food and grass.

Han Ce was anxious now, he was wondering if he was looking for an opportunity to break through, waiting here was looking for death, but when he thought that as soon as he left the barracks, he would attract the pursuers of the Far Eastern City, and he would also face the interception of the Northern Wilderness cavalry on the way.

The latest information he received showed that another 150,000 cavalry were lying in ambush behind him.

Now Han Ce's army has less than 150,000 people, and there are about 30,000 wounded and sick people, and only about 120,000 can go to the battlefield.

If he fights to the death, the possibility of breaking through is still very high, but this is his henchman and his last barrier, as long as these soldiers are clean, even if he is not beheaded and held accountable, he will be removed by many ginseng books!

As long as the army is still there, no one dares to offend him easily, at most, he will say bad things about him, as long as the army is in hand, he will have the opportunity to make up for his mistakes.

Once the army is gone, there is really nothing!

His hope now is completely pinned on Wei Zhi, whom he hates the most, and every day he looks forward to Wei Zhi appearing in front of him and then rescuing him.

In anticipation, he also cursed Wei Zhi every day, scolding him for being too slow, and scolding him for not saving him when he died.

But it's more of a fear, a bad one will die on the extreme eastern grassland of the Northern Wilderness.

Before leaving, he was full of spirits, believing that with his military command ability and the bravery of the soldiers under his command, he would definitely make immortal military achievements.

But who would have thought that he himself would end up like this now.

After thinking about it, Han Ce still couldn't make up his mind to break through, and several generals under his command who proposed to break through were scolded back by him, and he still held on to the last glimmer of hope.

Ling Yi and the others observed for a while, and then retreated to Zhang Cheng's station.

Until today, Zhang Cheng and the others still haven't found the supply route of the Northern Wilderness cavalry, which makes Ling Yi feel abnormal.

It was on this night that Ling Yi was called out of his sleep by Ah Hai.

It turned out that Zhang Cheng and the others finally found that a grain transport team appeared outside the barracks of the Northern Wilderness Cavalry.

Ling Yi followed Ah Hai to Zhang Cheng's observation place, looking at Zhang Cheng and the others, Ling Yi asked, "What's the situation?"

Zhang Cheng saw Ling Yi coming, and hurriedly reported: "We also just discovered the situation, the Northern Wilderness cavalry should have supplies to transport over!"

"How many?"

Zhang Cheng reported: "There are a total of 300 carts, and it is estimated that there are 120,000 catties of grain!"

"120,000 catties of grain is enough for them to eat for a few days?" Ling Yi asked.

Zhang Cheng estimated it and replied: "The people of the Northern Wilderness are tall and burly, and the amount of food is not small, and I estimate that these grains are the amount of a day!"

"How much is a day?" Ling Yi continued to ask, "How much food do they have left from before?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "According to the situation investigated before, they still have a day's ration at most!"

"It seems that the Northern Wilderness will still transport grain, have you found their grain transportation route?" Ling Yi asked.

Zhang Cheng replied: "I have already found out, and now Sun Ze and Hao Jun, as well as Hou Aoxuan, and a few people are leading a team to guard the line!"

"Judging from the current situation, the Northern Wilderness will continue to send food to this side from afar, and the supplies of the Far Eastern City should also be sent to the Far Eastern City, we can help Han Ce, he didn't seize the opportunity, and it was also a straw bale. Ling Yi scolded Han Ce and waved his hand at Zhang Cheng!

Zhang Cheng knew that Ling Yi wanted to see the grain transportation route in the Northern Wilderness that Sun Ze and they were monitoring, so he led the way in front.

Ah Hai followed Ling Yi and asked, "Brother, do you say that there will be grain transport troops coming over in the Northern Wilderness?"

Ling Yi replied affirmatively as he walked: "Definitely, they only have two days of food now, and if they want to fight for a long time, they must be transported over in a steady stream, and we have the opportunity to ambush their food transport team!"

"Oh, and when are they coming?" asked Hai.

Ling Yi replied: "It should be soon, their food consumption was almost exhausted before, and Song Liang will definitely come over in a row!"

"Are we going to be ready for battle?"

"Let's take a look at the route first, we must not only find an opportunity to sneak attack their grain transport team, but also be careful of the cavalry attack of the Northern Wilderness! We have attacked the city of the Far East before, they have strengthened the food security, and there may be a lot of grain transport troops at that time!" Ling Yi explained.

"But there weren't many soldiers in that grain transport team just now?" Ah Hai continued.

"This is also my strange place, let's go and see it first, I'm afraid this is to lure us into making a move!" Ling Yi replied.

"Dare to design us, these Northern Wilderness orcs are looking for death, let's destroy them!" Ah Hai said viciously.

"Don't be careless, our opponent is Bu'er Chijin Tori, just from the military command ability he showed before, and his own martial arts strength, should not be underestimated, don't be too careless!" Ling Yi rang Ah Hai's alarm bell!

"Got it, I'm not that stupid!"

The three of them walked in the direction of Sun Ze!
