Chapter 429 429
The 50,000 troops sent by Zhaoyang detoured behind Wu Qi, but when these 50,000 people arrived behind Wu Qi's army, only 20,000 people remained.
Thirty thousand of them died on the road, some of them fell into the swamp and could no longer climb up, some fell from the mountains and were crushed to pieces, and some were eventually killed by the wild beasts while fighting with them.
And this time it was Xinbaili who led the team, Xinbaili took over this arduous task, this is mainly because Zhaoyang promised Xinbaili, as long as Xinbaili can win this war and come out alive, then when he attacks the new city, this Xinbaili can still become the master of the new city, and at the same time, several cities around the new city will be given to Xinbaili.
In the face of such temptation, Xinbaili accepted Zhaoyang's mission, maybe this army may die on the battlefield, as the commander, as long as he escapes in time, there is still hope of living.
Xin Baili entered the team with 20,000 people, and then walked to a hill, and they saw the grain trucks of the Central Army of Chu.
And along the way, many people have starved to death, and many of those who remain here are hungry people, and their eyes are red when they see the food, and they know that they don't have to starve.
Xin Baili looked at these people, although they had been starved for a long time, but Xin Baili knew that the combat power of this group of people would definitely be extraordinary, much stronger than before, which was exerted by people's desire to survive.
There is food in front of them, and as long as they win, they can eat a full meal, and they can live without starvation.
This is the instinct of people, the instinct of survival, Xin Baili took out his weapon, looked at the front and said: "Warriors, pick up your weapons and rush, take away the other party's grain and grass!" ”
Xinbaili roared, and the people in the transportation troops were all shocked, and some of them stretched lazily, and they looked up to see where the banner of Zhaoyang was.
In an instant, 20,000 people rushed forward with weapons and attacked this group of grain transport troops, and the leading general of the grain transport troops also took out their weapons: "Fight! ”
This grain transport has not been harassed and attacked, and the nearby cities are controlled by Wu Qi, it stands to reason that it will not be attacked, but what is going on with this group of Zhaoyang troops in front of him.
The army of Xinbaili rushed down like a hungry wolf, and the combat effectiveness was as he expected, the gods blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddha blocked and killed the Buddhas.
"Major General, there is a problem with this army, why don't we withdraw?" A small general looked at the generals of the grain transport troops.
This general's name is Li Feng, he is the young general of Chu State, Wu Qi pulled it up with one hand, this is the first battle he led the army to fight, this is his opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he doesn't want to run away like this.
And he had long been dissatisfied with Wu Qi's refusal to let him participate in the front line, so that he would have to be in the rear, and he felt that his talent should not be done in logistics and transporting grain and grass, but should go to the front line and lead a side of soldiers and horses to fight to the death with the enemy.
And now he has encountered the Zhaoyang army, this is an opportunity for meritorious service, if he has escorted the grain and grass intact, eliminated this army, and won this encounter, then he believes that he will be able to be reused by the great Sima Wuqi, so that he will be transferred to the front line from the grain transporter.
Li Feng pulled out the knife on his horse and cut down the soldier with one sword: "Those who disturb the hearts of our army will be killed!" ”
The Central Army of Chu State, which was still thinking of running, saw a soldier being killed, and had no idea of escaping.
"Are you willing to be a transporter? Don't you want to go to the front line to kill the enemy? Don't you want to make military achievements and be knighted? There's an opportunity in front of us, and as long as we win, you can get what you want! Li Feng shouted to everyone.
However, the soldiers of the army muttered in their hearts, they really don't have much ambition, knighthood? It would have to be a sacrifice of ten thousand bones in exchange for one person.
And in their group, only one person can do this, but the rest of them have to sacrifice their lives to pursue an ethereal thing? In their eyes, this is the behavior of fools.
Having said that, why are they transport troops, and not elite soldiers on the front line? That is, they did not think about the front line troops in their hearts.
Of course, there are some people who cannot enter the front line because their physical strength is not up to standard, but more people want to eat comfortably and do not want to go to the front line to fight.
Li Feng was trying to stabilize the morale of the army, but the combat effectiveness of the Zhaoyang army was very considerable, and soon, his army basically fell.
Some people dropped their weapons and ran away, but Li Feng saw this scene and shouted, steady, steady, steady, but no one listened to him at all.
In the end, Li Feng was besieged and surrounded by the Zhaoyang army, and this grain and grass was also hijacked by the army of Xinbaili.
This transport force still carries pots and bowls or something, and the army of New Baili is directly here, setting up a cauldron so that the soldiers can have a good meal here.
Originally, the budget was to get out in three months, but they took five months, which was mainly due to the large number of people, and with all kinds of accidents, he felt that it was time for the soldiers to have a good meal.
What's more, he didn't know how long the lives of this group of soldiers were, after all, they were attacking various transport troops next, which would attract Wu Qi's attention, and when Wu Qi came back, it would be their time of death.
Or they are likely to be defeated at the hands of some transport unit.
Li Feng was brought in front of Xin Baili, Xin Baili looked at Li Feng, looked at his dress, and knew that this was the evil young general: "I didn't expect to capture a general alive!" ”
"General, what are we going to do with him?" A soldier asked, looking at New Berry.
"Kill!" Xinbaili said flatly.
Then Xin Baili looked at everyone: "We can only stay here for three days, and we have to hurry tomorrow, and then bring enough dry food and burn the rest of the grain and grass!" ”
"No!" Everyone replied in unison, they all knew what they were doing, and their purpose was to attack Wu Qi's various grain and grass, so as to spread the sound that they had defeated Wu Qi's army.
It stands to reason that New Baili is short of time at this time, and he should hurry to another place, but he feels that the army has just finished a death march and experienced a fierce battle, and at this time, it will make the army unstable.
It will make some soldiers unhappy, and these soldiers are also tired, it is time to rest, rest, only after resting, can they kill the enemy more bravely in public in the next war.
Xin Baili looked at everyone: "Our situation next is very difficult, but we must believe that we can overcome the suffering!" ”
