Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty Six: Grab Food
Qi army camp.
"puff!"
When Tian Yi heard the news that the granary was burned, he spurted out a mouthful of blood and smashed it to Yang Ling next to him.
"Oh, no, please pass it to the Imperial Doctor!"
The military supervisor Yang Ling was staggered, pinching the orchid finger and screaming.
Suddenly, the tent was in chaos.
As the chief general of the army, Tian Yi was highly powerful and deeply favored by the emperor. In the army, an imperial physician sent from the palace went on war as a medical officer. Under the diagnosis and treatment of the medical officer, he quickly woke up.
"How long can the food and grass last for the large military camp?"
The first thing he did when he woke up was to ask about the food and grass.
The Captain Zhisu, who was standing behind the crowd, immediately bowed and replied: "The grain reserve in the army can only last for five days at most!"
"Five days!"
A complicated look appeared in Tian Yi's eyes, "I will order you to immediately send someone to the surrounding county town to raise food and grass, and you will get as much as you want!"
The messenger paused slightly and responded: "Abide by the order!"
"You all parted, let me be quiet."
Tian Yi sighed slightly, and his spirit seemed to sigh with this sigh. He knew very well that once his military order was issued, the people in the surrounding county towns would be affected, and he would also be scolded by the people. If the censors impeached, even His Majesty would not be able to protect him.
But at this time he had no other choice. The food and grass of the 400,000 army was a very heavy and difficult task for logistics. It could not be completed in a short while. It would take at least one to two months from the collection to the transportation.
The army here can't wait for so long, and the food is out of stock for a day or two, but once this time exceeds this time, the soldiers below will definitely make trouble, and even roar will occur. By then, the 400,000 troops will be gone before they can attack Jiangzhou.
The soldiers at the bottom do not care what happened to you at the upper level. They joined the army just to fill their stomachs. If they don’t give them food, they will kill them.
He was too careless and underestimated the Black Armored Army. If the food and grass were scattered, it would not be burned out like this. Tian Yi was extremely regretful and blamed himself at this moment. Unexpectedly, he fell into trouble here with a sound of caution.
As he issued the order, the entire camp began to operate, and a team of soldiers rushed out of the camp under the leadership of their respective generals.
On the other hand, after Liu Feng and the three thousand black armored troops burned down the food and grass in Wutai County, he entangled with the defenders in the city and rushed out before the Qi army reinforcements arrived.
"Master, the entrance to the waterway in the lake has now been guarded by the Qi army. What should we do?"
In a hidden valley, Liu Feng got rid of the pursuers behind him and took people to hide there.
"Continue to explore, Qi Jun's food and grass are burned, they will definitely find a way to remedy it. We will act according to the opportunity!"
Liu Feng was not surprised that the waterway was blocked. After the place was exposed, the Qi army would definitely send people to block it. He did not intend to go back to Xiamen Pass so soon. Now he has finally burned down the food and grass of Qi army and must take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.
As long as the Qi army has no food for three or five days, the 400,000 troops outside the pass will definitely collapse, and the danger of Xiamen Pass will be lifted.
Not long after, the scouts who went out discovered the information about the Qi army collecting food in the surrounding counties. After all, this matter was a big deal and it was impossible to hide it. The people were taken away from the stored food, and they complained and suffered a lot.
This incident also caused great headaches for the county magistrates in various counties and sent envoys to the Qi army camp, but they were blocked outside the door and could not see Tian Yi at all.
Outside a village, a Qi army that had just collected food was turning back to the camp.
Listening to the crying sounds coming from behind, a soldier in the team couldn't help but ask to his companion next to him: "Brother Yang, we have taken away all the food of the people, what do they eat?"
"Shh, don't talk nonsense. We can't control this kind of thing, either. Just take care of yourself."
"But there are so many elderly and children in the village. If they have no food, wouldn't they starve to death?"
"That's fate. I know you sympathize with them, but it's useless and can't change anything at all, because you're just a soldier, not a general with great power. Don't think about it anymore. You'll get used to seeing such things too much."
The veteran named Yang showed a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness in his eyes. After being a soldier for so many years, he had seen anything more miserable than this. He naturally became numb after seeing it many times.
"Boom boom boom..."
At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly came from a distance, and the stones on the ground began to vibrate.
The veteran showed a hint of doubt on his face, "Strange, how could there be cavalry in this place? Not good!"
Then his face changed, and he grabbed the young man who was ignorant with one hand and hid in the woods next to him. At this moment, a black cloud floated from the sky. When the black cloud approached, everyone's face changed drastically.
"Swish swish..."
The dense rain of arrows covered the rain, and a large area of unprepared Qi soldiers fell down.
"Quick, go into the woods!"
The captain who led the team was pacifying the frightened war horses, and rushed towards the woods first.
The remaining Qi soldiers also threw down their food and fled in all directions.
"Well~"
In just a moment, a black-armored cavalry arrived here. Looking at the food bags and corpses all over the ground, they did not immediately pursue Qi Jun who was hiding in the woods, but dismounted and put the food on the horse's back. They piled it together and burned it with fire.
After doing these things, he quickly rode his horse away. When Qi army who came to rescue arrived, there were only corpses on the ground and black and gray that had not yet cooled down.
As the black-armored cavalry attacked everywhere, the grain collection teams everywhere suffered heavy losses.
"All wastes are wastes. There are so many people who can't even find their hiding place. What's the use of the imperial court to support you!"
In the big tent, the military supervisor Yang Ling spat at the general kneeling on the ground with a sharp voice. On the main seat, Tian Yi's face was as deep as water, without a glance.
"Come, pull all these buckets down and whip them!"
With Yang Ling's order, a group of soldiers with tiger backs and bear waists immediately walked into the outside and pulled everyone on the ground out.
On the other hand, as the cavalrymen who attacked each team returned, the valley where Liu Feng was hiding was also full of food.
This time, in order to capture all the Qi army's grain collection teams in one go, Liu Feng summoned another group of cavalry, and now the black armored cavalry in the valley has reached more than 9,000.
With more people, it will be difficult to hide your whereabouts. After all, Qi Jun’s spies are not idiots.
"Master, bringing so much food is not good for the march, will it burn it?"
Looking at the mountains of grain in front of him, Liu Feng shook his head, "Don't burn it, you send someone to inform the people nearby, saying that there is food here, so let them get it!"
"Ah? In this way, these foods fell into the hands of Qi Jun again in the end?"
Chapter completed!
