The ship was transporting grain.

It was food for the 400,000 army of the Chu State, and it must not be destroyed by the Qin army, and the generals in charge of transporting the grain hurriedly went to command, asking the soldiers to put the boat down, and transfer the food on the ship as much as possible before the ship sank.

How much can be saved, how much is counted.

If all the grain were to sink with the ships, all their men who carried it would die.

It's just that as soon as they prepared the boat, the sharp soldiers in the water immediately appeared, killed the soldiers on the boat, snatched the boat, and cut off all the thoughts of the Chu army.

The general who transported the grain said anxiously: "Shoot them first." ”

The grain transporter hurriedly took out his bow and crossbow and shot at the Great Qin Ruishi, but the Ruishi slashed the boat with a knife, and then dived into the water, and soon lost his trace.

"Shoot!"

Geng Wu said again.

Sou!

The crossbow arrows of the strong crossbow shot out, and the crossbowmen of the Chu army who probed from the side of the boat immediately fell more than a hundred people.

Seeing that the attack was almost complete, Geng Wu shouted again: "All into the water!" ”

Thump!

All the sharps jumped into the water together and swam to the grain ship.

The soldiers transporting grain on the ship are now panicking, because they want to transport grain, so most of the ships are grain, and there are only more than 2,000 soldiers on more than 100 ships.

They saw so many Qin troops killed, including the generals transporting grain, they were completely overwhelmed and in a hurry, and then they heard a "boom" sound, and the first ship began to roll over on its side, almost sinking completely.

The ships behind are no better.

More and more ships sank.

"Jump off ship and escape!"

The grain transport generals can be sure that with their own ability, they will not be able to save those grains, even if they are deserters, it is better than being killed by the Qin army.

Thump!

The soldiers who were transporting food jumped off ship with their generals and fled.

Gengwu and they have already swam over, and there are also the first batch of sharp soldiers who have gone into the water, and they are ready in advance, and the soldiers who are about to flee from the Chu army will be killed one by one, so as not to let these people escape.

Geng Wu picked up a strong crossbow, shot the general of the Chu army to transport grain with one arrow, and said: "Kill the others, kill them all!" ”

After so long of training on the water, the ability of the sharp soldiers to fight on the water is getting stronger and stronger, and after the massacre, the Chu soldiers in the water can't stop it at all, and more than 2,000 people were quickly killed.

The ships that were carrying the grain sank one after another.

The food of the Chu army was cut off in this way.

"Go back!"

Geng Wu said in a loud voice.

This batch of grain was destroyed by them unknowingly, and when the next batch of grain was delivered, I was afraid that Xiang Yan would have been defeated.

——

A few days later, the Chu army camped.

"The food sent by Xiangcheng is only enough for us to use it for another half a month."

Xiang Yan looked at the records of grain in and out, frowned and said, "When will the grain over there in Shouchun be delivered?" ”

Xiang Rong said: "The king gave a reply and has already been sent by someone, but our scouts have been waiting on the edge of Fenshui for a long time, and they can't see the ships carrying grain, should the king just perfunctory us?" ”

"Impossible!"

Xiang Yan shook his head and said.

If the king of Chu wants to be perfunctory and does not give food, the lives of the 400,000 Chu army will be equivalent to giving them to Bai Zhong, and no one will keep Shouchun for him.

"Maybe it's just a little slower!"

Xiang Yan couldn't imagine that the grain ship was destroyed by the Qin army for the time being, and said, "We can hold on any longer and continue to wait!" ”

I waited another seven or eight days.

The grain transport troops, not even a little news.

They thought that the king of Chu had not sent anyone to set off, so they continued to wait, but the king of Chu did not know that the grain ship was destroyed, and thought that the grain had arrived in the barracks, and neither side knew what had happened in it.

"The king is against fighting Qin, he must have deliberately refused to give food!"

Xiang Liang was unhappy first.

Their Xiang clan fought for the Chu State.

The king of Chu actually treated the army here like this, he felt very cold and unhappy, if this was Shouchun, he would definitely go directly to the palace and ask the king of Chu, why is this?

"Something is wrong!"

Xiang Yan walked around for a while and said, "I think something may have happened in it, come on!" ”

Several of Xiang's generals hurriedly walked into the tent from outside.

"You arrange a few people to go back to Shouchun as soon as possible, ask the king about the specific time when the king will send the grain, and then arrange some people to investigate clearly on the way to transport the grain, I want to know as soon as possible whether the grain has been shipped out, but there is an accident and it cannot be delivered."

I don't know why, Xiang Yan was very uneasy.

Xiang Rong asked, "Ah Weng is worried, Qin Jun has made a move?" ”

"Bai Zhong's methods are endless, and I can't help but worry."

Xiang Yan said this, and then frowned again.

If Bai Zhong would really do that, they would only go to investigate now, it was already too late, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and he felt that something big was going to happen soon, so he continued to walk around.

Xiang Rong said worriedly: "If Bai Zhong really robbed our grain, what should we do next?" ”

Xiang Yan stopped and pondered, and finally said two words: "Retreat!" ”

Now the grain, save some more, at most half a month, once there is no food, how can the 400,000 army fight?

Even if you save food, if the soldiers don't have enough to eat, they won't have the strength to fight.

There was no other way than to retreat.

Two more days passed.

The men who had been sent out by the family had finally returned, and with them a soaked, stinking corpse and rotting crawling with worms.

"Shangzhuguo, this is the corpse we found from downstream, the clothes are our soldiers', the same corpse, there are dozens of corpses, entangled in the water and grass on the shore."

The family continued: "Not far upstream of where we found the body, we saw a lot of sunken grain ships under the water, and there was still soaked grain in them. ”

As a result, it is obvious to see.

"It's Bai Zhong again!"

Xiang Rong said angrily.

The sunken grain ship must have been made by Bai Zhong's people.

Sinking all their grain under the Fen water, they don't know what happened until today.

"Judging by the extent of the decomposition of the corpse, it should have been soaked in water for more than ten days."

Xiang Yan sighed in his heart, he was still inferior to Bai Zhong, and suddenly had a feeling that he was more than ten years old, and said helplessly: "We can't wait for the next batch of grain to be delivered, and the Qin army will definitely not deliver the next batch of grain, pass on my military order, retreat tomorrow, and return to Xiangcheng first." ”

If you don't retreat, you really can't.

The two Xiang Rong brothers, no matter how helpless they are, no matter how unwilling they are, they have no choice but to follow the order to retreat, and the two sides have been deadlocked for almost half a year, and finally this is the end.

Xiang Yan said again: "What Bai Zhong is waiting for, that is, our retreat, there will definitely be some moves, we must prepare in advance, after Xiang Rong you come to break off, Xiang Liang will arrange for the generals to explore the way in front to prevent the Qin army from ambushing ......"

He made various arrangements for retreat, even if he retreated, he could not let the Qin army succeed and try to preserve his strength.
