There were only 500 civilians and 500 soldiers of the new annex army in the grain baggage camp, and although they had not participated in the siege of the city, they had seen the corpses with mutilated limbs and the terrible wounded soldiers after the shelling, and they had long been frightened out of the shadow of their psyche. Seeing the Mongol cavalry running away, I don't know who shouted "Flee quickly", these people and the new annexed army followed the Mongol cavalry and fled towards the camp on the side of the mountain. In fact, there were no casualties among the Minfu and the new annexed army, and the greatest damage caused to them by the shelling was nothing more than a splash of muddy water. The shells of the warships were all bound for the Mongol cavalry, and these Mongol cavalry rode on their horses in order to prevent the stagnant water from soaking their boots, which was really easy to identify for the Liao loach who commanded the shelling. Ouyang Xuan's task to Liao Loach was to seize the grain, and he was only to drive away the people who carried the grain, not to destroy the grain. Therefore, the artillery bombardment order issued by Liao Loach required the use of solid bullets with point and line killing, and did not use extremely large shotguns with a lethal surface, otherwise the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry would not be in single digits. Although there is enough food at present, and there is only about a month before the autumn harvest, the top brass of the Thunderbolt Army no longer worries about food, but according to Ouyang Xuan's words, "there is food in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart", of course, the more food, the better.

Following the Mongol cavalry, they fled to the new annex army and Minfu on the side of the mountain, and were driven back halfway. The Mongols were also very vicious, and when they saw that the new annexed army and the people were cowering and refused to go back to carry the grain, they first shot with arrows and trampled on their horses, and after killing more than a dozen people in a row, these people returned to the camp of grain and grass with trepidation, but before they could approach the granary, the warships in the river opened fire again. Liao Loach was only a warning shot, and it didn't hurt anyone, and he told the Mongols in this way that the grain and grass baggage camp was already the Thunderbolt army, and he wanted to fight for grain again. Not surprisingly, as soon as the guns of the warship fired, the soldiers and civilians of the new annexed army scattered one after another. "The lesser of two evils", the reason why they are willing to be slaves is because under the coercion of the Mongols' bows, arrows, knives and axes, they can survive as long as they work, and now they will lose their lives if they work, how can there be a reason not to run for their lives? It's just that this time they no longer fled to the side of the mountain, but fled to the camp of the new annexed army and the people. After the two shellings, not only the Mongolian generals, but even the ordinary soldiers and civilians of the new annex army also saw that the targets of the warships shelling were all grain and grass camps, while the new annex army camp and the people's camp on the same river were not shelled. It is clear that the Thunderbolts have already taken the food into their pockets, and anyone who dares to approach will be shelled.

It's just that the soldiers and people of the new annex army who fled to the camp are still breathing, and the secret one sent a team of ten people to the camp of the new annexed army, first killing the new annex army and the people who took the lead in escaping, and then threatening the rest of the people to carry food again. The new general of the attached army in the battalion had no choice but to send soldiers to the Minfu camp and escort people to the grain and grass camp. Seeing that the Mongols had sent people to carry the grain again, this time Liao Loach was obviously annoyed, and he ordered the gunners to use shotguns instead, aiming directly at the Mongol ten-man team overseer. These Mongol soldiers hid in the rear and were covered by horses, but they were also covered by shotgun fire, and even men and horses were beaten into a sieve. It was only the soldiers and minfu of the new annex army, who were used as meat shields by the Mongols, also suffered together, and a large number of them were also defeated, with at least dozens of dead and wounded. When it comes to shrapnel against soft targets, the lethal effect is really amazing. This is only one warship with eight guns firing at the same time, and if the other four warships also fire at the same time, the lethality will be even more terrifying.

The secret fire knew that the warships would not be able to carry food at all if they did not solve the problem, but there was no way to deal with it at present, and the soaking of rain for days made the siege equipment in the camp impossible to use. Rockets against ships may be a useful solution, but they require braving artillery fire to reach melee ships. Moreover, the enemy ships will obviously sail away in the face of fire attacks. After much consideration, he decided to send archers to attack the ships with rockets, but instead of the Mongol cavalry, he sent the infantry archers of the newly annexed army. "Dead friends don't die poor", in the eyes of the secret fire, the new annex army is just a low-value consumable, where can it be compared with the noble Mongolian cavalry. After the new annex has exhausted the ship's ammunition, the cavalry archer charges over to kill it in one hit. It's just that what the secret one didn't expect was that when he sent people to the camp of the new annexes, the new annexes not only refused the order, but also drove out the heralds. Enraged, he ordered Jiagu Longgu to lead 500 Mongol Han troops to "persuade" the new annex army to carry out the order. In the event of such disobedience on weekdays, he must have used all his cavalry to break through the camp of the new annex army in one fell swoop. It's just that the situation is stronger than people, and these new annexes are still of great use to the strong enemy.

The reason why the secret fire force the new annexed army to transfer grain so much is because the Mongolian army can do without other baggage, and can even give up attacking Hengyuan Fort, but it can't do without these grains, here is three months of food for 22,000 people and 5,000 military horses. In fact, the war horse is the big consumer of grain, and the war horse that eats grass alone cannot fight at all, and on average, the food consumption of a war horse is equivalent to that of five soldiers. As long as these grains are kept, even if the Sandu Water and Grain Road is cut off by the Thunderbolt army, the Mongolian army can be invincible. There was also grain in the cavalry camp on the side of the mountain, but the quantity was so small that it could not support the maturity of the grain at all—although the autumn harvest would be in a month. If this food was lost, the Mongol army would no longer be able to continue the siege, and would have to retreat to Chengdu, Pengzhou, and other places, which would require crossing two large rivers, and Chongqing would be attacked.

The secret man was thinking about the importance of the grain in his heart, and Ouyang Xuan was also thinking about this batch of grain. Yang Xiucai estimated the enemy's baggage according to the men and horses who attacked Hengyuan Fort, and the grain and grass stored in the baggage camp could supply the needs of 50,000 soldiers fighting for three months. If it is a civilian, if it is frugal, it can be provided for half a year. If these grains are captured, it will play a great role in the development of the Perak army, not only will it make the Mongolian army retreat, but it will also make it impossible for the secret fire department to carry out large-scale military operations for a long time, and it will even make the offensive and defensive postures of the two sides in western Sichuan transposition.

The 500 Mongol and Han troops under the command of Jiagu Longgu were all elite cavalry, and the combat strength of the remaining 4,000 new annexed troops in the field and battalion was comparable. He believed that by beheading a few generals, he would be able to "persuade" the soldiers of the new annex army to regain their combat courage. It's just that what he didn't expect was that the new annex army would close the camp gate and not open the door no matter how much he shouted. To say that the camp was only surrounded by a wooden fence, and the trench around it was not wide, but it was impossible to attack it with cavalry in a hurry. Jiagu Longgu was so angry that he scolded and ordered his subordinates to release arrows, but who expected that the new annexed army would dare to shoot back. The arrows fired by these new annex camps were far inferior to the Mongol and Han armies in terms of strength and accuracy, but they also made them a mess. It is said that in their eyes, the soldiers of the new annex army are just a group of cowardly cannon fodder, they only know how to escape when they fight, and they are also low-brow and pleasing to the eyes when they start a slave, and now they dare to resist Beidi Ying'er without obeying orders, is this worth it? With a whistle, Jiagu Longgu ordered his men to retreat to assemble two hundred meters in front of the camp gate, and he was determined to teach these southerners who "eat grass seeds" a lesson.

Just as the five hundred cavalry under the Jiagu Longgu belt were assembled, the cannon sound rang out again.
