Chapter 808: The Gray Army Who Grabbed Food? (Second Update)
In the impression of the people of Bran, the environment in the north is always harsh, and the climate is even colder. At the beginning of winter, the south is still under the warm shade, suitable for picnics in the suburbs. However, the north has already entered the cold season, and the heavens and the earth are slaughtered!
557 Bran Gregorian calendar, winter solstice.
It's a normal solar term, and it's also a normal day. On this day in history, nothing big ever happened. A qiฤ seems to be ordinary and bland.
However, future history is destined to remember this day, because this is a new chapter that is slowly opening in an era!
......
In the evening, deep in the 100,000 mountains, twilight has fallen.
The message about the 100,000 mountains has always been more mysterious and barren. Even in the Bran Royal Library, there is not much written about it, and even the scope is vague. On the map of the Bran border, the place signed as the 100,000 Mountains is a virtual shadow, reaching to the top of the surface of the map. No one has ever reached the end of it, and over time, no one will care.
Of course, our focus this time is not on the question of where the end of the 100,000 mountains is. We only need to look at some desolate area in the depths of the 100,000 Great Mountains, and that's it.
The information about this desolate area is relatively complete on the part of Bran. However, the collection time is not long, and it is only a year. There is a reason for this. To put it bluntly, it was at that time that the gray-clad rebels fled here.
The failure to wipe out the grey rebels a year ago is a regret in the hearts of many Branda. After seeing the highlights of the gray-clothed rebels of the Losha period, the big men of Bran no longer dared to underestimate what they used to call "rioters". Even now the other party has wolf bรจi hid in the desolate and barren mountains of 100,000. The Bran court still sent heavy troops to chase after him. It is not until the logistical supply troops are under great pressure and complaining that they will stop the pace of pursuit.
In fact, the troops who came after the pursuit did not retreat, but looked for favorable terrain on the spot and built blockade lines one after another.
The meaning of this move is also obvious - since we can't annihilate you completely, then simply expel you, so as not to cause trouble in Bran again!
From these moves above. It can probably be seen that the Bran royal court is very wary of the gray army. Of course, the so-called upper side moves the mouth, and the lower side runs and breaks the leg. The big man can make a decision to garrison with a wave of his hand without psychological pressure. But when it comes to each legion, general, and soldier, the feeling is different......
Twilight bonfires, mountain camps.
Bang bang, bang bang, slam the table, "Damn......! I just grass, grass, grass, all the women of the three generations of the officers and men of the Armaments Department, blind their dog eyes, Lao Tzu Cangyan Legion general. Zhenbei Violent Bear, is there any fame? Especially not famous. Lao Tzu is also a first-line general, don't let me kill the barbarians, come here to guard the barren mountains and bald mountains...... I'm guarding his uncle! My brain is covered with shit-"
Out of anger, a series of filthy yells resounded around the central camp, echoing in the distance. If it is spread out, let those officials and masters of the Northern Armaments Department hear it, I am afraid that they will be so angry that they will be furious, and without saying a word, they will directly transfer this guy to the cannon fodder camp, and let him fend for himself and never use it.
However, here, the soldiers passing by on patrol did not have the slightest strange look when they heard this, and seemed to have become accustomed to it, and even some soldiers nodded directly and whispered in response to express strong agreement.
Originally, not all soldiers joined the army in order to earn enough salaries to support their families, and they had to get by, at least not their front-line army from the Cangyan Legion, they needed soldiers' salaries, and even more so! On the front line, although they lived a precarious war life, it was the duty of a soldier, and there would be no lack of due glory and meritorious service, and the road to promotion could also be seen.
But what about now?
It was just that they were transferred to encircle and suppress the Gray Clothes Army before, after all, it was also a regular battle, and it was also their scope of responsibility. But after the encirclement and suppression, instead of transferring their army, which has not weak combat effectiveness, back to the front line to kill the enemy, but ordering them to continue to stay here and guard this place where there is no shit, what is the matter?
Is it possible to kill enemies here? Can you spend money to play with women? Can you have meritorious service and glory? Can you be promoted to officer...... ! It's possible to become the king of the mountain.
"Alright, let's take it off. What's the use of you scolding here, those officers and men of the Armaments Department can't hear it. In the big house of the central camp, a slightly thin adjutant shook his head helplessly, and persuaded the black-faced man who was sitting at the top of the house who was desperately pouring wine, that is, the general of the Cangyan Legion who just called himself the Zhenbei Violent Bear, "Bear with me, haven't the letters to the marshal already been sent, maybe we will be transferred back soon......"
"Endure and endure, endure all the time...... Bear with it! Lao Tzu is about to endure being a turtle with a shrunken head!" Putting down the wine jar with a bang, the black-faced general said angrily, "The old marshal doesn't know what to think, and there is no news yet...... Alas, Lao Tzu has figured it out now. It doesn't work to ask anyone, it's better to pray that the group of beast cubs in the Northern Wilderness will come over, the front line is tight, and they will naturally think of Lao Tzu. โ
"Uh......" The adjutant and several senior officers present were stunned when they heard this, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although this statement sounds a bit logical, as a general of Bran, it is too damaging to pray that the northern barbarians will attack. It's just that this is completely their camp, and they are all their own people, so they don't have to worry about having ears on the wall, going out and spreading nonsense or something.
"Ahem...... coughed a few times, and inevitably his own general said something surprising, and the thin lieutenant general wisely changed the topic, "Recently, the activities of the gray army have been very frequent, although I don't know the specific location of their camp, there is no way to find out the news, but the scouts scattered outside in the past two days have found their traces several times, and they seem to be preparing for some action." โ
"Lord Adjutant General, you are too worried, they are not even able to eat now, what other big moves can they not make. "What kind of generals there are, what kind of soldiers are brought out. The black-faced general has a fiery temper and is very aggressive. The people under him also had some such problems, so a senior officer did not realize the good intentions of the deputy general to change the topic, and shook his head directly when he heard the words, "If you guess correctly, this must be here to explore the storage location of our grain and grass materials, and prepare to snatch it." โ
"Well, that's it. โ
"Those guys are going crazy hungry now, and they can really do the robbery thing......"
......
It's not to blame these high-ranking officers for saying this, and that's exactly what happened.
The food of the Grey Army is indeed a big problem, the depths of the 100,000 mountains are desolate, and even vegetation with green leaves is rare, let alone edible food. Although Tang En is outside, relying on the financial resources of the Atang Chamber of Commerce, he has been transporting food supplies inside. However, because of the several blockade lines of the Bran army, a large number of things could not come in, and they could only be transported in batches little by little, which was really a drop in the bucket......
Of course, these things are not known to the officers here, they only know that in the past year, the gray coats have organized countless operations to grab food, some of which have been successful, and some of which have not succeeded...... Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it is clear that this shows that the food and supplies of the Gray Army are indeed extremely scarce.
Therefore, after combining these circumstances, the senior officers felt that the gray army should want to grab food. But...... The thin adjutant general twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard this, and looked at the black-faced general who was no longer interested after listening to the analysis of the officers, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A group of pigs, I can't even see Lao Tzu's obvious meaning, and I came to dismantle Lao Tzu's platform, which really convinces your IQ......
Slandering in his heart, he had to laugh twice on the surface, burying the pit he had dug, "Yes, those gray-clothed soldiers are already hungry and crazy, and it is really difficult to say what they will do, we have to guard against it." โ
"It's not a big deal, you can just watch these things happen to you. Waving his hand, the black-faced general raised the wine jar again, looking like he was going to borrow wine to kill his sorrows.
But before his lips could touch the wine jar, suddenly, the slightly sharp sound of metal striking suddenly came from afar, with an urgent frequency. At this time, the army gave a warning sound, indicating that the enemy was coming.
Several people present were stunned when they heard the voice, and I don't know who subconsciously said, "Uh...... It's really coming!" Of course, this is talking about the Gray Army's food grabbing team.
In fact, it was almost like this, and a long time later, a scout-like soldier pushed the door and walked in, and hurriedly reported that a large number of gray-clad soldiers had appeared outside the fortifications.
"Ha, it's really them, this action is fast enough. โ
"It's normal, or I'm crazy from hunger......"
"Haha, it makes sense, it makes sense!"
......
Still smiling and laughing, there is no trace of tension in the big house. All the officers looked extremely relaxed, and did not seem to take it to heart.
This is not to say that they look down on the Gray Army, but that food and supplies are the focus of all armies. And they come from the regular army of Cangyan, and they attach great importance to the protection of this aspect. So generally speaking, unless the situation is completely passive and has been killed by the other party or something, it is almost impossible to succeed in snatching it.
However, among them, the black-faced general showed a bit of interest, and looked at the scout fixedly: "Are you sure that the number of gray-clothed soldiers is really large?"
"Sure, this is what my subordinates saw with their own eyes!" the scout said with a firm nod.
"Haha, it's good, take my armor and big axe!" Huo Ran, the black-faced general, got up and laughed loudly, "Damn, I've been holding it for so long, and I finally have a chance to have a good time!"
As soon as the voice landed, he didn't wait for the voice to sound. Boom, boom......
