Chapter 733: Xiliang Army

The huge military camp was erected on the empty land, which made the aura of slaughter in the entire land instantly thicken. Countless war horses rushed out of the barracks and continued to rush out into the distance, and countless war horses rushed into the barracks from afar. The black flags fluttered in the wind, and the groups of murderous soldiers were constantly scanning the surroundings, although every soldier was very tired after the battle, but none of the soldiers relaxed their vigilance. The central tent was surrounded by countless soldiers, each soldier was wearing a heavy armor and looked around coldly, the blades of the weapons exuded a cold murderous aura, and the war horses were neighing in the barracks, and the soldiers were constantly training on the school field. All of this shows that this is an elite army, a group of proud soldiers, and a group of soldiers with great combat effectiveness.

In the big tent, countless fierce generals stood around, and the expressions on the faces of each general were very solemn. Sitting at the top was a fat handsome general wearing yellow and gold armor, but his face was also solemn, and in addition, several people dressed as scribes next to him were also thinking about something with a solemn face. Compared with the solemn atmosphere outside, the atmosphere in the big tent was even colder, and everyone here had a solemn look on their faces. This is the camp of the Xiliang Army, sitting at the top is Dong Zhuo, and the people gathered here are all ordinary generals under Dong Zhuo's command, this time Dong Zhuo's army attacked the imperial capital, it can be said that everything is ready, but this battle is inexplicable.

"Tell me what you think about this war, say it. Let's talk about what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this Shenwu Army?" Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top, could be said to be very unsightly. This time he led troops into Beijing. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's face has been lost. The huge Xiliang army not only failed to successfully enter the imperial capital, but was beaten by the army under Wang Jian and his command, not only that, but even the several reinforcements he arranged were also beaten by the army of the Shenwu army going south. This time, the Shenwu Army actually took the initiative to withdraw the army, which made Dong Zhuo a little unaware of what the Shenwu Army was thinking, let alone what Liu Fan was thinking, obviously taking the initiative to withdraw the army in the situation of superior strength, what is the situation.

"Marshal, no matter how the Shenwu Army takes the initiative to withdraw this time, I can't understand it at all. However, as far as I know, the Shenwu Army is now at the end of the crossbow, and it can't be fought at all. Li Zhangyan frowned and said to Dong Zhuo: "Marshal, I have carefully read the records of the Shenwu Army's battles over the years, since Liu Fan started his army in Yangzhou, he has been fighting, fighting with us, fighting with Fangjiao, fighting with Zhang Rang, fighting with the army of the Eight Great Emperors, and the Sea Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Barbarians, they are all fighting." Their Shenwu army has been fighting all along. Not to mention the loss of their soldiers, let's just say that the logistical baggage is enough to drag down the Shenwu army. ”

"Do you mean that the Shenwu Army can't move now because of the lack of food and grass?" Dong Zhuo's brows instantly furrowed. He is the commander of the first army, the importance of the way of nature, grain and grass, but this question Dong Zhuo has never thought about, there is only one reason, Liu Fan occupies the richest state capital of the empire. And with the strong support of the merchants and local tyrants in the south, the problem of grain and grass will not bother the Shenwu Army at all, but the Xiliang Army is limited by the problem of grain and grass.

"Yes, the marshal has been fighting in many places for their armies over the years, and many of them are partly due to force and helplessness. Their corps supplies were all collected from the south, and there was also the Janissary Army and Guards of the Imperial Capital, but the losses of the Shenwu Army were also unusually large, and it can be said that if the Praetorian Guards and the Guards were not incorporated, the current Shenwu Army would not even be able to make up the corps. Since the Shangshenwu army fought with the Sea Clan in Yizhou, the entire Yizhou has been destroyed, and now it has not been able to be self-sufficient, and now Yizhou is still fighting, how much their food and grass consumption, I think you should know very well in your hearts. Li Zhang said to everyone in a firm tone: "This time the Shenwu Army took the initiative to retreat, I think one of the very important reasons is because of the problem of food and grass, otherwise it would be impossible to retreat with their strong combat effectiveness." ”

"Great Shuai, in this case, we should catch up with them in one go, defeat them completely, and take the opportunity to occupy the imperial capital. Niu Fu stood up and shouted loudly, this time Niu Fu can be described as a very wretched, with the strongest corps of the Xiliang Army, but was beaten by the Yongzhou Army, which was far less than them. Niu Fu is known as the strongest general under the command of the Xiliang Army, but this time the strongest general did not achieve the slightest result but was beaten by others, which made Niu Fu very depressed.

"Otherwise, General Niu, do you know how much grain and grass we still have?" Dong Xuanyi saw that Dong Zhuo was a little moved, and immediately stood up to stop Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo below Dong Zhuo said loudly to the generals: " Marshal, generals, our rule is far less fertile than the south of the empire, although we have not had any major wars over the years, but small wars have indeed never been broken, especially this time we led the army under our command to the south, plus the reinforcements from the north to the south, our logistics and heavy consumption is also very strong, and now our grain and grass are less than a month. ”

"A month, how can it be so little? Shouldn't we have half a year's grain and grass?" Dong Zhuo immediately frowned when he heard the amount of grain and grass, Dong Zhuo had a good habit, that is, when he was fighting, he would definitely gather enough grain and grass for himself, at least to ensure half a year's grain and grass, but he never expected that there was only less than a month's worth of grain and grass left in the camp.

"Marshal, these days we have been fighting with the Shenwu Army, the Northern Army is blocking our way forward, Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu have led the troops into our rear, constantly attacking our grain transportation team, the army we sent out to conquer not only did not achieve any results, but was completely defeated by these two people. Dong Xuan's brows suddenly furrowed, and the inability to transport grain and grass also made Dong Xuan very headache.

"Marshal, we should also stand still now, wait for the grain and grass in the rear to be transported up, and at the same time send a large number of scouts to spy on the intelligence of the Shenwu Army to see what the Shenwu Army is up to. Dong Xuan said to the generals with a solemn face, and the faces of the generals showed a trace of embarrassment, and Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top, also nodded.

"Okay, that's it. Dong Zhuo ordered loudly: "Pass the order, the scouts will go out of the camp to spy on the intelligence of the Shenwu Army, and the rest of the generals will reorganize the army and prepare to go out at any time." ”

"No!" (to be continued......)
