Chapter 54 Isn't it just robbing?
In the next few days, the Huya Army swept across Tiannan County, and took away all the passing cities, grain and army.
There are thirteen cities in Tiannan County. Huya Pass is in the southernmost part, heading north all the way. If you go around some roads, you can pass by eight cities. Judging from the march route, Xiong Jun estimated that Li Yunyi would "loot" all these eight cities.
There are at least five hundred troops in a city, and there are seven or eight hundred more. If eight cities go down, it is estimated that five or six thousand troops can be gathered. In addition, the three thousand troops of the Tiannan Army, there are nearly ten thousand troops in total. The number of troops is large, but in Xiong Jun's opinion, it is meaningless. These thousands of troops can easily defeat them with one charge in the Shanzhan Camp. With so many more troops, Xiong Jun feels that there are more people who have a good meal, which is a burden.
Xiong Jun has become a dog during this period. Li Yunyi just ordered and did not care about anything. He needed to coordinate the matter and implemented it one by one. If so many troops are not in charge, there will be chaos. Fortunately, the troops in the cities behind are all incorporated, and they are relatively obedient. It is not that troublesome to reorganize after disruption. It just takes time to form combat power.
Although he is hard every day, Xiong Jun is in a surprisingly good spirit. His happiest time every day is when he eats and rests.
He made the chef make various relatively delicious dishes every day, and gave him some fruit from time to time. When camping every day, he would personally deliver hot water, which was extremely attentive. Unfortunately, Su Yunyi ate very little every day and never gave him a good look, but Xiong Jun was happy.
Time passed quickly. Eight days later, the Huya Army left Tiannan County, and the army indeed reached 10,000. Two or three hundred carriages were pulled behind various military supplies. They were vast and flags were flying, and they looked very spectacular.
The army entered Tianjing County, which was only ten days away from Jingcheng. If you took some roads, you could pass by six cities. Xiong Jun asked Li Yunyi for instructions, and the latter directly told Xiong Jun that none of these six cities could be missing, and all of them were "robbed".
The Huya Army looted so many cities, and the news came to Jingcheng again. The court was too lazy to scold Li Yunyi. Li Yunyu didn't care anymore. He had no choice but to do anything about it now. There was no army to mobilize it. It was impossible for Li Yunyi to mess around and mobilize the army from Heiyan City to suppress it because of Li Yunyi's mess, right?
Now the court is discussing another thing, a strange thing that happened in Dongyuan County.
A mysterious army appeared in Dongyuan County, all riding blood-red wolf, with bright red pastels on their faces, and various bird feathers on their heads. They dressed like the Witch Clan. It doesn’t matter if the Witch Clan is not the Witch Clan, but the important thing is that this army is attacking the food roads of the Cai Army, destroying many roads and bridges, and attacking five granaries that stocked up a large amount of food and grass.
Jingguo wanted to do such a sneak attack on the enemy's food route, and he had done it. But Cai's country had 20,000 cavalry, and 10,000 was still the elite among the elite. This side was always chased by Cai's army. Do you want to send too many cavalry defense lines? If you send a small group of cavalry, what's the difference between delivering vegetables?
Although Dongyuan County has fallen, there are still scouts and spies. The largest intelligence agency in Jing State, Heilongtai, has raised a large number of spies, and it has played a role at this moment. The mysterious reinforcements raided, which made the entire court excited. If the food supply of Cai State can be cut off, the Jing State's crisis will immediately turn, and it may even be a big victory.
However, the spies found that the two strongest cavalry of Cai had arrived in Dongyuan County and began to encircle and suppress the mysterious army. Ten thousand was against one thousand, and the number was too great. If the Blood Wolf Cavalry was wiped out, it would still not change the overall situation.
Not only Jing Kingdom is paying attention to the mysterious Blood Wolf Cavalry, but Cai Kingdom is also paying attention to it all the time. This Blood Wolf Cavalry with only a thousand cavalry has now become a key point in the battle situation. Whether this cavalry can be wiped out is crucial, and it is related to who of the two countries can win the final victory.
Jingguo launched a spy to contact the cavalry and provide some information help. Unexpectedly, the spy was shot and killed by the Blood Wolf Cavalry before they got close. The cavalry came and went like the wind, and it was difficult for the spy to lock in their whereabouts.
Another thing is that the blood wolf cavalry, all the poultry, livestock, and war horses, were stolen directly from the places where they passed by, without saying a word of nonsense, and regardless of the people's begging. This matter was reported to the court, but it did not cause any sensation. Instead, no one seemed to hear it, and none of the censors impeached them.
Compared with the life and death of Jing State, a little poultry and livestock is nothing? Not to mention robbing some livestock, even if you rob all the money and property, what is it? This blood wolf cavalry is saving Jing State and saving thousands of people in Jing State.
Isn't it just a robbery?
A prince in the south was robbing all the way? That prince didn't even rob the people. He didn't see them killing a soldier in Cai, but he was quite powerful. There were still a few heads hanging at the gate of Tiannan County City...
The whole country is paying close attention to Li Yunyi, who is heading north. Although Li Yunyi's army has reached tens of thousands, it is all incorporated by hundreds or hundreds of cities. The troops guarding the city are the weakest combat power, and there is no difference between them and the constable. There are so many troops in the city, and it is a mess. I am afraid that they will be defeated by a cavalry after they are rushing?
The battle outside Tiannan County was blocked by Li Yunyi. The captured Tiannan Army did not enter the city, and the news could not be spread. Perhaps the Su family had some news, but it was not heard by the senior officials of Jingguo and Caiguo in a short time.
So not only Jing State doesn’t care about it, but even Cai State doesn’t care about it. What’s the difference between this and ten thousand people? An army without combat effectiveness, even a hundred thousand is useless, and it will be defeated with just one attack. Wang Tai from Cai State received the news and ignored it. Now they are troubled by the blood wolf cavalry.
Five days passed quickly!
The Qing Cavalry and Zi Cavalry of Cai State had already caught up with the Blood Wolf Cavalry, but the Blood Wolf Cavalry did not fight with them at all. The army ran away before they got close. The Blood Wolf Cavalry was too fast, and the Qing Cavalry and Zi Cavalry could not catch up. Moreover, the distance between the two sides was dozens of miles away in just one hour, and the speed was not the same level at all.
The Blood Wolf Cavalry swept the eastward and ran along the Cai State's grain transport road. On the road, as long as there were grain trucks and fewer troops escorted, they rushed forward, killed all the soldiers who transported the grain, burned the food on the spot, destroyed the roads that could be destroyed, destroyed the bridges that could be destroyed, and even the boats that were crossing the river were burned...
The 10,000 cavalry generals behind were so angry that they could not catch up. They could only follow behind their butts and eat dirt. They looked at the burned grain trucks and the killed soldiers of Cai. The generals of the two cavalry were a little panicked, and the Blood Wolf Cavalry rushed towards Cai. If they reached Cai's country, it would be fun. Now almost all the troops of Cai are here. Except for the Imperial Guards, there is a combat power, the rest of the troops are vulnerable.
When the military information reached Jingcheng, the entire court was blown up. With the Blood Wolf Cavalry doing this, the Cai army was in short supply. How much food and grass should the 80,000 army need every day? If this was delayed for a month or two, the Cai army would collapse without fighting.
After Li Yunyu communicated with Zhou Xian on the front line, he urgently transported many of Jingdu's defensive weapons, and countless top-level pills were also sent to the two great masters. Li Yunyu gave the death order and must try every means to defend Heiyan City for more than half of the time. That would be more than half of the casualties and he would never retreat.
If Black Rock City is lost, Jingcheng will have no barriers. Once Jingcheng is besieged by the army, it will be not far from the destruction of the country.
Moreover, Black Rock City is not particularly far from Jingcheng. Once Black Rock City is lost, the collapsed army will not have time to retreat to Jingcheng. Cai's army will march straight into the sky and immediately surround Jingcheng. Jingcheng has not many troops left now, only five thousand imperial guards and three thousand defenders.
On the other hand, the Cai army was filled with clouds and low morale. Although the news was blocked, how could such a big thing be hidden? In the past, military rations were sent every day, but now there have been no military rations for a few days. So many large troops gathered here, waiting without attacking. Those generals were frowning all day long. If there was no problem, no one believed it.
Wang Tai has been under the greatest pressure recently, and he still has two ways to go now.
Either the entire army retreat, first wipe out the Blood Wolf Army behind it, and then counterattack it when the domestic food and grass arrive. This is a safe tactic. Or just take the army alone and attack Heiyan City while there are still food and grass. As long as you capture Heiyan City and then take advantage of the situation, Jingguo will be destroyed, and the food and grass problem will be solved. The food and grass stored in Jingcheng is enough for them to eat for a year and a half.
This decision is very bad. If you retreat, you will give Jingguo a breathing time. No one will know what the situation is going on. If you attack directly, if you can't capture it for a long time, the fun will be great, and if you don't have to do it, the whole army will be wiped out if you don't have it.
"Wait for another five days!"
