Chapter 8: Half Less

"Ye Hong, the general will pass you!"

A soldier walked over and kept looking at Ye Hong with his eyes as he spoke, his eyes full of stars.

Before, he said to a few brothers, "This is not the case that he escaped by hiding under the baggage truck", but now it is a slap in the face!

Now he only feels the hot pain on his face, but he is a hot worship in his heart!

Riding a horse with one enemy and ten, rushing east and west, he has the demeanor of the god of war!

In the stories he had heard, the last mortal who could rush around in the chaos was named Zhao Zilong......

"Good. ”

Ye Hong sighed, reluctantly gave up the small goal of adding porridge, put down the bowl and walked to the handsome tent not far away.

Don't you just want to drink a bowl of porridge, why is it so difficult?

Ye Hong's three steps turned into two steps and walked towards the handsome tent, and when he passed by this soldier, he could still feel the uncomfortable eyes of this soldier......

In just a moment, Ye Hong had already entered Wang Zhi's account, and Wang Zhi at this time was carefully studying a map on the table.

"General, you're looking for me. As soon as he entered the tent, Ye Hong said without delay.

Wang Zhi's temper, Ye Hong has figured it out in the past few days, and what he doesn't like the most is that his soldiers procrastinate in doing something.

If you make a mistake, you may not be scolded too hard by him, but if you do things leisurely, you will definitely be scolded.

Besides, my stomach is still screaming, so it's better to solve it quickly......

Hearing Ye Hong's voice, Wang Zhi no longer lowered his head to study the map, raised his head and said, "The Turks who attacked and killed you at the beginning are probably not horse thieves of this strength." ”

Ye Hong was stunned at first, and then understood that Guo Hu was stupid, but Wang Zhi was not stupid.

"Yang Xiu, that guy I know, his strength is not much weaker than me, if he is against a horse thief of this level, even if he is sacrificed in the end, it is impossible for those horse thieves not to even leave a corpse. ”

Moreover, Yang Xiu died too quickly, and it could be seen from the incision on his neck that the man's swordsmanship was excessive, and it was not comparable to these thieves at all!

"Yes, it was not an ordinary horse thief who intercepted us in the first place. As soon as Ye Hong thought of those Turks, his tone couldn't help but become cold.

"Unusual horse thief, is it really ......" Wang Zhi once again remembered his initial guess, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

If they only encountered these weak horse thieves who were bought by Wang Shichong on the road, it would be easy to deal with, but if they really encountered his Turkic iron cavalry......

The gap in strength is too big, and it can't be filled by quantity!

"No, it may not have anything to do with Wang Shichong. Ye Hong made his own guess according to the thoughts in his heart.

Ye Hong suddenly remembered that the Turkic man had said, "We are going from the north to the south." ”

Mobei, in the memory of Ye Hong's original lord, is the territory of the Turks.

In other words, these people may not be Wang Shichong's people, but the Turks have crossed the Yumen Pass.

It's just that why they want to enter the customs is also a question that needs to be considered. It's a pity that Ye Hong didn't learn much history in his previous life, and this original owner was just a peasant kid, so he didn't have that much knowledge, and he didn't know what the origin of these people might be and why they appeared in that place.

Ye Hong told Wang Zhi about it, and Wang Zhi also began to think deeply.

After a while, Wang Zhi hummed lightly and said, "Okay, you go down first, I'll think about it myself." ”

"Yes!"

"Oh, by the way, I asked someone to bring back that yellow-maned horse for you, you can do it yourself!"

"Yes!"

Ye Hong saluted again, and a sense of excitement inexplicably floated in his heart, this was the first mount he had accepted in his life!

I don't know what kind of future I will encounter, will it be like those fantasy novels......

After Ye Hong gave a military salute, he withdrew from the tent and walked in the direction of Guo Hu.

Hungry drips are very hungry drips......

............

Fifteen days later

Although the baggage cart slowed down the march, it took half a month to transport the grain and grass to the outskirts of Luoyang City, the Tang Army camp.

During this period, the baggage team was lucky, and did not run into the extremely strong Turks again, and only encountered three batches of bandits who were bought by Wang Shichong, but the strength of these bandits was half a pound and eight taels of those horse thieves, although it brought a lot of trouble, but it did not bring any fatal damage.

Although in fifteen days, the baggage team lost dozens of people, but this is the war, and the four bandits encountered it, and lost a total of 100 people, which is already a very ideal situation.

Of course, this is from the big picture.

If you start from Ye Hong's own mood, it will be very unpleasant......

Obviously, they all came out to grab food, but these bandits actually paid off the poor scum! The equipment that fell off their bodies was either combat power 1 or combat power 2, and the best was actually just a long knife by the body of a quenching immortal!

That long knife had a combat power of 10 and two active skills, which once made Ye Hong very red. However, the shape of that knife is really good, which makes Wang Zhi like it very much......

When Wang Zhi stepped into the Tang Army camp with a group of recruits, Ye Hong already felt that the atmosphere was not right.

It's a little too depressing, obviously it's a tailwind situation, but the whole camp is filled with a very tense atmosphere.

It is true that in the big tent of the Chinese army at this moment, the faces of Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling are not good-looking.

Chang'an's decision to fight Wang Shichong in a strategic decisive battle has actually gone through a long time. In the first few months, the Tang army was cleaning the periphery of Luoyang, not only occupying Luokou and other places, but also successfully cutting off Wang Shichong's important grain transportation channel.

It took several months for the Tang army to increase the winning rate of this battle to 80 percent.

It's just that the current situation is not a favorable situation for Li Shimin, the commander of the Tang Army.

Since the Tang army was assembled, it had carried out several waves of offensives, but the previous waves of offensives had no big results, and Zheng Jun's resistance was far stronger than he imagined, so strong that it could make the Tang army sacrifice hundreds of immortals in the Quenching Body Realm and Foundation Building Realm!

You must know that in the peripheral sweeps in the past few months, the number of immortals sacrificed combined, is not more than half!

Now that there is no progress in the final decisive battle, the morale of several sergeants has obviously dropped a lot after the sacrifice in vain.

And the most important thing is that he received an eight-hundred-mile rush from Chang'an, Wang Shichong's own food is not enough to eat for a long time, and he still has the heart to send his elite cavalry and buy bandits and horse thieves hundreds of miles along the road from Chang'an to Luoyang, so that they can intercept the Tang army transporting grain on the way!

"Xuan Ling, have you encountered any problems with the grain and grass that have been transported in recent batches. ”

Inside the big tent, Li Shimin, who was heavily armed, held the sword at his waist tightly, and his eyes were fixed on the hanging map, as well as the Luoyang city defense map that should be sent out.

Fang Xuanling sat down and said solemnly: "King Qin, a total of four baggage teams have come in the past few days, which is half less than the planned grain transportation team. ”

Halfway!

The corners of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, the grain and grass carried by a baggage team was only enough for the army for ten days, and now the grain and grass in the army are only enough for about two months!

What should I do? Send troops to meet along the line?

I'm afraid it's not realistic, if you send less, you will waste troops, and if you send more, you are afraid that Wang Shichong will have redundant ideas.

Li Shimin was thinking about it, and Fang Xuanling's voice sounded again.

"Your Highness, the news of the lack of food reserves has not yet spread among the soldiers, but Wang Shichong will not be unaware. ”

"If Wang Shichong starts the idea of our military rations and spreads rumors again, it will be a big trouble, and when His Highness thinks about the measures for transporting grain, I am afraid he will have to consider the garrison of the granary!"
