Waiting for An Rong to retreat, Zhao Chenfang said: "My lord, go further, it is Dangxiong County, the first army is marching towards Luocheng in Dangxiong County, and the third army is marching towards Dingcheng in Dangxiong County. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Shangguan Xiu took a big sip of water, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth, and asked, "What is the movement of the Ningnan Army?"
"The 3rd and 5th Corps of Ningnan are marching towards Dangxiong County. The Fourth and Twelfth Legions were heading towards Yangzhong County, and it seemed that these two legions were planning to retreat to Tianjing. ”
To the north of Dangxiong County is Yangzhong County, and the capital of Ningnan, Tianjing, is located in the center of Yangzhong County.
At present, the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of Ningnan are stationed in Tianjing, and if the 4th and 12th Army Corps also retreat to Tianjing, the garrison of Tianjing has as many as four army corps and 400,000 troops.
Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and handed the water bladder in his hand to Zhao Chen. The latter was not polite, pulled out the lid, and drank it with a clatter. Most of the remaining water was drunk by him in one go. Shangguan Xiu asked, "How is the battle of our army in Longzi County?"
"Dragged by the 7th and 9th Corps in Ningnan, now our army has the initiative, but has not yet won. Zhao Chen said truthfully.
"The Seventh Legion!" Shangguan Xiu muttered. Of course, he would not forget Ningnan's Seventh Army, a regiment commanded by Peng Huang and Tong Yang, who had defeated the Zhenjun Army under his command in a national war, and wiped out his entire army. Tree like a web address: Closing the Mouth and Heart Chapter
At that time, he lost not tactically, but with the sudden use of firearms by the 7th Army. Until now, Shangguan Xiu still remembers it vividly.
Zhao Chen glanced at him cautiously and said in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, there is one more thing!"
"What?"
"Our army is running out of supplies. ”
"Didn't you pass on the imperial court and Zhenjun to replenish supplies?"
"The book has been passed on, but the supplies of the imperial court and the supplies sent from Zhenjun have been blocked at Huya Pass, and the Ninth Army stationed at Huya Pass has blocked Huya Pass, and domestic supplies cannot be transported at all. Zhao Chen whispered.
This matter cannot be spread to the outside world, and once it spreads, the morale of one's own army will be greatly disturbed.
Shangguan Xiu sat up from the car violently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He really didn't expect that the imperial court could do things so desperately, he led the soldiers of the Zhenjun Army, and the people of Ningnan worked hard to die for a lifetime, and the imperial court actually cut off its own supplies.
He asked in a deep voice, "When did this happen?"
"The genus has just been learned. Zhao Chen frowned and said: "Brother Xiu, the Ninth Army doesn't have that much courage, they don't dare to block the Huya Pass privately, the Ninth Army must have been instructed by the imperial court to do this!"
"Imperial Court ...... Hehe, the imperial court wants us to die outside the gates!" Shangguan Xiu really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times at this time, he and his soldiers went out to fight for the country and fought for the country, but the court actually wanted them to die outside, which was simply too ironic.
Zhao Chen looked left and right, and said: "Brother Xiu, if you want me to say, we will kill back to Zhenjun, annihilate the Ninth Army, and establish ourselves as kings in Zhenjun, such a court, if it is not guaranteed, let it fend for itself!"
Shangguan Xiu consciously clenched his fists, and his eyes lit up. He is also a young man, he is also full of enthusiasm, and he is also impulsive, but his impulses are flashing in his head.
If he did this, then the blow to the Wind Country would be fatal, and he and his brothers would be nailed to the pillar of shame of the national thief, and would be spit on by generations of descendants.
He sighed secretly and asked, "Now, is our army still full of food and grass?"
Zhao Chen shook his head slowly, indicating that he was not optimistic.
Shangguan Xiu pondered for a moment and said: "Borrow grain! Borrow grain from Shah! This time, our army went to Ningnan and did the Ba people a great favor, and now that our army is in difficulty, Suba should not fail to help with this favor." ”
Zhao Chen cleared his throat and reminded in a low voice: "Brother Xiu, we ...... We are an army of 400,000. "The little food that the Shah tribes planted and the little prey they hunted, enough for their self-sufficiency, where is there enough to fill 400,000 mouths?
And I don't know how long this battle will be fought, 400,000 soldiers have to eat and drink every day, how can a mere Shah support it?
Shangguan Xiu frowned and said: "You can borrow as much as you can, even if you only borrow a stone of grain, it is better than nothing." Also, I sent a book to Shenchi and presented it directly to the Holy Maiden, I helped her, and now, it is her turn to help me. ”
Zhao Chen didn't know what the secret agreement was between Brother Xiu and the Holy Maiden, he asked in surprise, "Brother Xiu, do you want to ask the Holy Maiden to come forward and transfer the Ninth Legion stationed in Huya Pass?"
Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "The Holy Maiden only has prestige, and does not have the right to dispatch troops, and it is impossible for the Ninth Legion to obey the Holy Maiden's dispatch. ”
"Brother Naxiu......"
"Just send a message to the Holy Maiden, and say that I need her help urgently, and she understands what I want. "The saint has always said that he is like a businessman, now that I think about it, it seems that this is really the case, he did not go to help the saint in vain, he personally went to and from Qingjun, destroyed the spiritual spring there, and also negotiated the conditions with the saint.
"Yes, Brother Xiu! I'll send someone to pass the book right away!"
"Also, send a message to the commanders of the various armies, explain the domestic situation, and let them solve the problem of grain and grass as much as possible, here in Ningnan, whatever they want to steal and rob, anyway, no matter what means are used, they must guarantee to me, so that the soldiers can eat enough and go to fight against the enemy. Shangguan Xiu said categorically.
"Yes!Brother Xiu!" Zhao Chen nodded while responding, and after a pause, he asked cautiously: "Brother Xiu, do you want to pass the book to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to come forward......
"The Ninth Army blockade of Huya Pass, do you think Your Majesty will not know?" Shangguan Xiu sneered, and said quietly: "Tang Ling, this woman, I'm afraid she is sitting in the palace, waiting for us to die in Ningnan, and begging her, isn't it humiliating herself?"
Ah. Zhao Chen groaned in his heart, looked at Shangguan Xiu, and muttered in his heart, Brother Xiu and His Majesty, how can they be like people with a marriage contract, they are like two enemies! When the war is over and he returns to China, Brother Xiu doesn't know how to live his life!
Shangguan Xiu looked at Zhao Chen strangely, closed his eyes, and muttered distraughtly: "Chen, don't look at me with such pity, I'm not to the point of being pitiful." ”
"Oh. Zhao Chen coughed embarrassedly, hurriedly withdrew his gaze, scratched his head, and said, "Brother Xiu, what ...... Then I'll go to work. ”
"Go ahead. Shangguan Xiu's eyes didn't open, he only waved his hand casually.
After Zhao Chen left, Guangfang not far away came over and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiu, did the imperial court really cut off our supplies?"
Shangguan Xiu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes." ”
"This ...... The military rations in the rear can't be delivered, what will we eat in the future?" Guang Fang frowned.
"Cannibalism. Shangguan Xiu didn't even think about it and said.
Guangfang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Brother Xiu, don't laugh!"
Shangguan Xiu looked at him, but he didn't smile, but he smiled with a deep meaning, and he also laughed so much that Guangfang was terrified. He blinked his eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiu, ...... you You can't be serious, do you?"
He lay back on the bullock cart and did not answer. The army has no food and cannibalism to satisfy hunger, which is not without precedent in the past, and it is the people of Zhenjun who set this precedent. The reason why the people of all the counties of the Wind Country look down on the people of Zhenjun is that they all say that the people of Zhenjun are uncivilized and are savages who drink blood, not for no reason. In the past, Zhenjun was very poor, the army went out to fight, and the grain and grass carried were very small, and the war would never be fought in three or five days, as the war continued, the Zhen army had no food to eat, and the soldiers would capture the local people and kill them for food. It's brutal and brutal, but it's the only way to maintain the combat effectiveness of the whole army. When the country of wind had not yet ruled the sky and was in the midst of a group of heroes, the only army that was not afraid of running out of food to fight at that time was the Zhen army. If a man is driven to a dead end, he will become savage, and he will be more savage than a savage. If the imperial court really forced the Zhenjun army to the point where there was no food to eat, the only ones who really suffered could only be the people of Ningnan.
Shangguan Xiu followed the gendarmerie and marched towards Dangxiong County, and soon entered the territory of Dangxiong County.
Along the way, the towns you pass through are as if they have just been baptized by a hurricane, and there are ruins everywhere, and you can see corpses that have not been cleaned up in a hurry, and they have already decomposed.
The current Zhenjun army is far less polite than when it first entered Ningnan, and the soldiers are robbing whatever they see, as long as they resist a little, they will draw their swords and kill them.
Wherever the Zhenjun army passed, they burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, leaving behind a mess, and the losses caused to the local people were incalculable.
Of course, the Zhenjun Army is so lawless, and it has also been approved by Shangguan Xiu. Shangguan Xiu has always been a person who adheres to principles and ideas, before the war began, he set the concept of 'this war is not for conquest, but for destruction', and in actual actions, he will unswervingly implement the concept he set at the beginning, and will not change because of anyone and anything.
Now the people of Ningnan see the wind army as if they see a ghost, even if there are children crying, when they hear the adults say that the wind army is coming, the children are too scared to cry anymore.
Shangguan Xiu knew in his heart that this kind of fear of the Wind Army might remain in the hearts of the people of Ningnan for more than ten years, or even decades, and the more afraid the people of Ningnan were of the Wind Army, the more they were afraid of the Wind Country, and in a short period of time, the situation of the Wind Country would be much safer. As for who will be strong and who will be weak in the future, it will depend on the competition between the two countries.
On this day, the gendarmerie marched to Jinchang City, a small town on the border of Dangxiong County and Pingmen County. This small city has been sacked by the Wind Army, but there is no Wind Army garrison in the city, only a small group of rebels recruited by the Wind Army. When you enter the city, you will see a desolation.
Shangguan Xiu didn't know how Jinchangcheng used to be, but now, even in broad daylight, there was not even a shadow of a person on the street, as if it was an empty city with no people. I don't know if all the people in the city were killed, or if they heard that they were coming, they were so frightened that they couldn't get out.
