Chapter 145: Grass and Trees Are Soldiers
Ye Liming smiled and said, "We also know that it is not easy for the army to carry grain and grass, so we have also had some means over the years."
"What General Ben means is that we can temporarily afford the food of the holy icon, but you need to make up for the loss of it."
When Dordoro heard this, his face calmed down and said, "Then ask General Yeli to make a price."
Ye Liming took out a fist-sized cyan pill
"This is the special food for the holy elephant condensed by our clan with a secret method, one grain can make a holy elephant last for a day"
"Three thousand, three days, three thousand"
When Dordoro heard this, he had some bad premonitions in his heart
Sure enough, Ye Liming said in a deep voice, "This thing, one will cost 5,000 taels of silver, although it can be converted into grain and grass to allow that holy elephant to eat for a month, but the truth of this, I think General Doll can understand it."
Dordoro gritted his teeth and nodded, can you not understand, so much grain and grass are delivered, not to mention the loss on the road, what if you encounter robbers? What if the weather is bad and delayed? And what if it is sent to rot?
Once you encounter an accident, even if it is just a small one, it will be a catastrophe
Therefore, the existence of this cyan pill is very necessary
Dordoro nodded with difficulty, and said astringently, "This money, I Xijon out"
"The grain and grass of the army have been burned, and they can't advance in a big way, so the next city will need the help of the holy elephant."
"Moreover, the amount is too large, and it is impossible for General Ben to take out all of it, so he can only pay one-third for the time being, and the rest will be over when the war is over."
Ye Liming smiled and nodded, "It's okay, if my holy elephant is full, it will be the best war beast in the world."
"However, the next gain from the big city, General Dole, you see..."
Dordoro took a deep breath and said coldly, "You take sixty percent, and this general only needs forty percent for military expenses."
"General's atmosphere!" After that, Ye Liming left satisfied
When the people left, the faces of the soldiers present were a little unsightly, and after a while, they went out fifteen million taels of silver, and this was only three days...
"General, they are too greedy"
Dordoro sneered, "Greed, it's a lion's mouth!" ”
"A grass ball, dare to ask for 5,000 taels, and the general is sticking the proceeds of the big city, he is playing with fire," Dordoro said quietly
"Didn't they want to fight?" Dordoro pondered for a moment, and said ruthlessly, "Then let's just let them go to the vanguard."
"If you break the city, let's take some leftovers. What do they want? Then take it all! ”
"Is it really muddy that Da Zhou is made?"
"Taking advantage of Da Zhou's surprise and stepping through a mere cloud cliff pass, you feel invincible? Let them touch the Zhenshan army of the Great Zhou"
"General Ben, look at what their holy elephants are using to block them under the nine bull crossbows and cold light arrows that cover the sky and the ground? Hang a few pieces of iron and feel invincible..."
"Look how they die..."
Dismissing the generals, Dordoro stood in front of a blurred portrait and said respectfully
"Your Majesty, we are frustrated, and if you live up to the trust of Your Crown, please punish Your Crown"
The slowly wriggling shadow in the picture said calmly, "It's not your fault, even if you fight, but be careful, they will also attack your grain army." ”
"Also, you've been standing still for too long, and you've been ready to ambush you."
Dordoro's face changed slightly
"Don't worry, it's just preparation, the number of people is only more than a thousand, it's harmless" Shadow said lightly, "You have to do it." It's all the way forward, while fighting and replenishing, rather than staying here and waiting to die. ”
"As soon as the grain and grass are burned, the army should be fed and drunk and immediately march to the next city"
"And then..."
"Feed the people of the Great Zhou"
Dordoro came back to his senses when he heard this, and couldn't help but smile bloodthirsty, "Thank you for mentioning it, the little one understands..."
"The Zhou people are despicable, then my warriors in Xirong need to be fierce..."
Ye Liming returned to the Holy Elephant Camp and took out a basin of water with joy
After casting, a faint figure appears on top of the basin
Ye Liming said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Xirong agreed, but it needs to be paid twice, and I also agreed to let me wait for the big share after the city is captured."
"Well, if you don't do it, Indra will remember your piety, go get busy"
The words fell, and they disappeared
Daizhou, Tianyun City, as the first big city behind Yunya Pass, merchants from all over the Great Zhou want to go out of the customs to do business with Xirong, and the Great Zhou does not stop it, but collects taxes, and under mutual benefit, it seems extremely prosperous
But at this time, the atmosphere in the city was calm and empty, only countless black-armored soldiers were stationed in it
Xiao Pingrong looked at the map in front of him, his eyes were cloudy, and the deputy generals were whispering
"Previously, His Highness led people to burn the grain and grass of the Xirong army desperately, they shouldn't have set off so quickly, right?"
"Not necessarily, although Xirong is not as vicious as a wolf like Beidi, but they are as cunning as a fox, and they have obtained countless qualifications from my Da Zhou before, and now they are backstabbed in turn..."
"And you didn't find it, these previous skirmishes... All the people who were dispatched were the Elephant Elephant Army of the Elephant India Country... The 100,000-strong army led by Dordoro didn't move once."
Xiao Pingrong came back to his senses when he heard this, and said coldly, "That's because they want to reap the benefits."
"General Ben received the news from Tianji Tower, and they reached an agreement to let the Holy Elephant Army attack the city, and then... Sixty percent of the proceeds from the siege will go to the country of Xiangyin."
"The Cold Light Arrow is already precious, but they let such a big target as the Holy Elephant attack the city? What are they trying to do? I just want to consume our army's cold light arrows! ”
"Dordoro, I'm afraid I'm ready to send these people on their way"
A lieutenant general frowned and said, "That's not right, General, he has only 100,000 people, even if I don't have the Cold Light Arrow, 100,000 against 100,000, why does he think that I am inferior to his Xirong soldiers?" ”
"This is also where the general is puzzled" Xiao Pingrong said in a deep voice, "There must be something wrong with this 100,000 army, so be careful"
"This city is a hundred miles away from Yunya Pass, if he rushes with all his strength, he will be able to come to the city in half a day."
"Inform the whole army and prepare to meet the enemy"
As the words fell, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from afar
"General! The eldest princess sends a message! The army of Xijon is off! Until I am in Cloud City! ”
Xiao Pingrong sneered, "It's really not mentioned, prepare for war!" General Ben came to see what confidence he had! ”
...
And Dordoro encountered the first problem at this time
The road in front of you is not the road
Is it a special pit?
Can anyone tell me when the official road of the Great Zhou was so rugged? The size of the slap pit is of different depths, all over the road?! Aren't you going to go yourself?!
Of course, that's just the appetizer
The rivers on both sides of the road, whether they are reeds or even the grass, are particularly unsafe
Cold arrows seem to be able to shoot from all corners
Dordoro's face darkened, looking at the quiet surroundings with anger in his eyes
Is this the grass and trees of your Great Zhou? Good means...
