247. Retirement
There are many strange people in the Juyi Building, among which there are 36 masters named on the Zhongyi card.
These thirty-six people are not only strong in martial arts, but also have a variety of skills, among which there is a stranger nicknamed Tuxing Sun, who is good at digging tunnels and creating traps.
This time, in order to intercept the grain transport garrison of these two thousand people, Juyilou specially arranged half of Juyilou's men and horses to help Tuxingsun dig this trap, and the results achieved were also amazing.
Group operations may be far inferior to these soldiers, but when it comes to raid warfare, these people who lick blood have a transcendent advantage.
One can fight four soldiers, even a third-rate character can do it, after all, the individual combat ability of ordinary soldiers is not strong, except for some elite soldiers or generals, the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers is divided according to the strength level of the Sword Alliance, that is, the level of fourth-rate or even fifth-rate.
More than 200 people from Juyi Building shot together, and they actually took over 2,000 people from the other party, although they couldn't be killed, but their purpose was not to kill the enemy.
After defeating the soldiers guarding the grain, the people of Juyilou pushed the grain cart away, and at this time, a tunnel opened under the mountain road, and they transferred the grain through the tunnel.
Suddenly there was a drastic change, Xia Mao was also flustered, he didn't have much actual combat experience, and he had no way to deal with it, so he could only desperately command the soldiers to break out and gather in the open area ahead.
When the soldiers broke through, Xia Mao sadly found that although the soldiers had only suffered more than 100 casualties, they had lost dozens of carts of grain, and now only 100 grain trucks could be snatched out, but only 5,000 quintals.
Eight or nine out of ten of the food was lost in one fell swoop, Xia Mao was so frightened that his soul flew away, these five thousand loads of grain were only enough for 200,000 troops to eat for a few days, if the city lord Mu Moran knew, it would not be too much to cut him with a thousand knives.
No one could carry this black cauldron, Xia Mao immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Chase! Give me all to chase those bandits! Grab the food back for me!"
Xia Mao's order was urgent, and those soldiers naturally obeyed the order, and immediately both infantry and cavalry frantically pursued, although they didn't know where to go.
The 3,000 men watched the soldiers leave in a daze, and they were dumbfounded when they looked back at the rest of the food.
Then I saw a group of people coming down from the hillside, about seventy or eighty people, all of them looking fierce and vicious.
Leading the way was a man with an iron pestle in his hand and a playful smile on his face.
He is Qian Yan, the deputy owner of Juyi Building, and the commander of this operation, it seems that they have returned with a full load this time.
Half of the grain was burned, half of the grain was robbed, when Mu Moran came to Yunshan Town, he heard such news, and this news directly made his eyes dark, and he almost fell off the horse.
100,000 quintals of grain is not a small amount for them, although they can still gather it in the future, but they don't know how long it will take, anyway, this expedition will be in vain.
"City Lord, this place is still more than two hundred miles away from the nearest Huaishan City, even if you transport grain from there, it will be too late. At this time, the quartermaster replied tremblingly.
For the sake of speed, the army went out to fight for speed, and they all traveled in simple clothes, and a large amount of baggage and grain were transported in batches, but now that the food was lost, they only had three days of surplus food left, not to mention the war, it was difficult to retreat.
Although Mu Moran hated it so much, he still waved his hand and ordered: "Withdraw the army, temporarily go to Huaishan City!"
In the Black Wind City, Huang Chongsheng and Bai Wuyu were rectifying military affairs, after three days of adjustment, these Mobei troops were completely absorbed, and the city fortifications had been completed, and at this time, the city guards came with news: Qian Yan of Juyi Lou rushed outside the city with a large amount of food and men.
"There are some things that people in the rivers and lakes can do better, don't you think this is coming?" Huang Chongsheng said this to Bai Wuyu, then got up and hurriedly walked down the city tower, facing Qian Yan Yuanyuan and stretched out his hand.
Qian Yan snatched 50,000 loads of grain from the hands of 2,000 defenders, as well as 3,000 men, this wealth is not small.
And with these grains, Huang Chongsheng's military salary is not a problem, he did not hide his personal interests, but distributed them all, and every soldier was rewarded.
This is not a small amount, and the 20,000 soldiers in the city have a share, and they can be regarded as a lot of wealth, which is comparable to their military salaries for several years.
I have to say that money and food are really good things, and those who eat military food and serve as soldiers, in the final analysis, in addition to the needs of conscription, are also for food.
Especially at this moment, Huang Chongsheng represents the orthodox city lord of the imperial dynasty and brings the will of the Son of Heaven, and these money and food are all gifts from the Son of Heaven, so they are naturally grateful to Dade.
Huang Chongsheng has excellent eloquence and can say black into white, and as soon as he is free in the past few days, he goes to the sergeants, chats with them, and talks about his ideals.
Only when the world is unified can the world be rich, everyone can eat enough, the war will be extinguished, everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and then the world will be truly peaceful.
But how to achieve the unification of the world, can only rely on force to conquer, at this moment the world city lord is divided, in charge of his own army, dominating one side. Once people have power, they will not give up easily, and it is even more fantastical to want these city lords to disarm and return to the fields, so only by dancing the king's flag and fighting in all directions can these cities and lands be recovered, and the world can be unified.
Huang Chongsheng's speech is nothing more than the above, but he brought in what he saw and heard, especially the tragedy of the extermination.
This case is now a mystery case, but in Huang Chongsheng's mouth, he is a victim of power struggle, and the culprit behind the scenes in order to bring down the Red Leaf Gang, under the pretense of Red Leaves, committed murder in the name of Red Leaves, and killed more than ten members of his family.
Many soldiers don't know Huang Chongsheng, listening to him at this moment, they all feel the same way, among them are relatives who died in the war, although the major city lords have maintained relative stability over the years, but local battles are still inevitable, and death is naturally inevitable.
At the end of the day, it was late at night when Huang Chongsheng returned to the City Lord's Mansion, and he did not return to the mansion directly, but went to Gan Jie's residence.
Instead of being confined to a cold, damp prison, the enemy general was invited into a warm and comfortable room, where good food and wine were served every day.
Today, Huang Chongsheng harvested 50,000 quintals of grain, specially selected some good ones, and specially sent them to Ganjie's residence.
Although there were soldiers guarding outside Ganjie's gate, it did not restrict his freedom, but this fierce general did not flee, and his hostile attitude towards Huang Chongsheng also changed a lot.
After sending the things, Huang Chongsheng turned around and left, but Gan Jie spoke at this moment: "What do you want to do?"
Hearing this, Huang Chongsheng turned his head with a smile and replied word by word: "I want no more war in the world, no more injustice in the world, no more separation in the world, and no more harmony in the world!"
Gan Jie was stunned when he heard this, and then subconsciously asked, "You, who do you think you are?"
"I am Huang Chongsheng, remember this name, in a few years, it will be the most resounding name in this world, forever in the annals of history!"
