A month has passed, and Xinbaili has attacked Wuqi's grain and grass resources a total of fifteen times, which has created a lack of grain and grass on Wuqi's front.

Among them, Wu Qi also ordered someone to organize to suppress the Chu army that cut off his grain and grass.

Wu Qi didn't realize how many people could attack him, mainly because the army of Xinbaili crossed that place with a very harsh geographical environment.

When ordinary people enter there, they are all ten dead and nine alive, and where the army enters, ten thousand people enter, and eight thousand who are alive are lucky.

Therefore, there would not be many people who came out of Wu Qijue's new hundred miles, and even if he had a strategic vision, he would not have thought that Zhaoyang would risk letting 50,000 people enter any place.

Although only 20,000 people came out, the 20,000 people who had gone through purgatory were very extraordinary, at least the transport troops in the central part of the Chu State could not fight them.

Otherwise, Xinbaili would not have gone through twenty battles, and all battles were won, of which fifteen times were Xinbaili who took the initiative to attack the opponent's grain route, and the remaining five times were Wu Qi asked people to organize troops to clean up this group of troops in Xinbaili.

At this time, Wu Qi also realized that the legion that hijacked his own grain and grass in his rear was definitely not something that ordinary troops could suppress.

Because of Wu Qi's misjudgment, his several suppressions were 3,000 people for the first time, 5,000 for the second time, and 10,000 for the last time, and the five battles were not as large as the number of the army in Xinbaili.

And it is not the central elite army of the Chu State, it is all a logistics reserve corps or a temporary militia recruitment.

This is also the reason why Xinbaili can win consecutive victories, because the number of opponents who fight with him is not large, and secondly, it is not an elite soldier.

Moreover, Xinbaili also realized that if this war continued, people would die and be consumed quickly, so every time he went to a village or a place, he would set a fire to that place and forcibly recruit the male strong men in it to join his forces.

It can be said that everywhere New Hundred Miles goes, it will become a ruin, but this has also caused a lot of forced resistance from the people, but how can popular resistance be the opponent of the New Hundred Miles Army?

However, there are also many people who volunteered to join, and this kind of people are generally poor families, so they volunteer to join the army of New Hundred Miles.

And those who have families are forced to join in order to save their families, and if they don't want to, the whole family will be killed.

They also sighed, because this is a war between the people of Chu and the people of Chu, and there are no real winners, only losers.

Wu Qi's logistics had a problem, and he looked at his deputy general Hou Weilong: "What's going on in the rear?" There is already an urgent shortage of food and grass on the front line, and we have to withdraw after a while! ”

"Teacher, listen to the report of the spies, there are a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses in the new hundred miles behind us!" Hou Weilong looked at Wu Qi and said.

Originally, there were 20,000 people, but they recruited a large number of militiamen, and the Chu army who had rebelled and surrendered in addition to the attack, and in the addition of successive victories, civilians, and small soldiers had any strategic vision, seeing that Xinbaili had won consecutive battles, they felt that Xinbaili would definitely be able to defeat Wu Qi and become the winner, so many people took refuge in Xinbaili's door.

This also made the army of Xinbaili fight more and more, and Xinbaili has also changed at this time, he feels that if he continues to fight like this, he may pull out a very objective team, and when the time comes, he can rebel against Zhaoyang and set up his own door.

Xinbaili has this kind of thought, which is not a good thing for Zhaoyang, but it doesn't matter to Tian Ji, for Tian Ji, the more chaotic the Chu State, the better.

"It will take at least a year for us to break through this Zhao Pass, and now that there is a shortage of food and grass, if we want to withdraw our troops, we will have to prepare for at least a while!" Wu Qi looked at Hou Weilong and said.

Wu Qi was reluctant to withdraw his troops, because he had fought for so long and consumed so many resources, at least after insisting for a year, the Zhaoguan would be broken, and if he withdrew at this time, then the previous efforts would be wasted.

"It's also my negligence, but according to my intelligence, this Zhaoyang shouldn't dare to do this, and someone should have a plot for Zhaoyang behind this! Wu Qi looked at Hou Weilong and said.

Wu Qi looked at Zhaoyang's report, there were so many people behind him, this Zhaoyang should have sent out a lot of people, but daring to let so many people go to the death march, he felt that Zhaoyang was reluctant, after all, he didn't dare to do it.

After all, he didn't dare to do this kind of thing, otherwise he would let some people die march into the rear of Zhaoyang.

He knew that Zhaoyang dared to make such a move, this must have been someone who moved him, but the one who could say that Zhaoyang was moved, Wu Qi didn't feel that it was the strategist beside Zhaoyang.

The strategists beside Zhaoyang, Wu Qi also understands, although they are all talented people, but talent is just like that, most of them see his prestige, and they are persuading Zhaoyang to surrender to him.

Hou Weilong looked at Wu Qi: "Teacher, how about I go to suppress this new hundred miles?" As long as the new hundred miles are suppressed, this grain and grass will be able to reach here quickly! ”

And at this time, an intelligence officer ran in: "Big deal, it's not good!" ”

Wu Qi looked at the soldier and asked, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

"Shuiyang City, surrender to Xinbaili!" A soldier said to Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at the intelligence officer: "Is this true?" ”

"Yes, Da Sima, Xinbaili lured the city lord of Shuiyang City, 'Shui Tiandao', and said that after defeating Wu Qi, the Duke of Zhaoyang promised him the marquis!" The intelligence officer said to Wu Qi.

Shuiyangcheng is not a strong city fortress, but this is a huge granary, Wu Qi's army is fighting on the front line, and the grain and grass are all from Shuiyang City, Shuiyang City, surrendered, which means that Wu Qi's rear has been completely cut off!

When Wu Qi's front line was urgent, it had already spread among the major forces, and the news of Xinbaili's victory over Wuqi's transport troops was exaggerated by him, making people mistakenly think that Xinbaili defeated Wuqi's elite troops.

Therefore, many small nobles in the rear who surrendered to Wu Qi raised their flags again and turned the tables, and the city lord of Shuiyang City couldn't resist the temptation of the marquis, and directly colluded with Xinbaili to cut off Wu Qi's grain route!

And at this time, the 800,000 allied forces on Zhaoyang's side had also been united, and just waiting for Zhaoyang's words, they immediately took the initiative to attack Wu Qi.

Zhaoyang originally wanted to lead the army to take the initiative, but was stopped by Tian Ji, although it seems that Zhaoyang's side once again occupies an absolute advantage, and the military strength is also several times that of Wu Qi, as if it is only a matter of time before Wu Qi is crushed.

However, Tian Ji knew that Wu Qi's art of war was incredible, and the army he led was a strong general, and if Zhaoyang's coalition army took the initiative to attack, it would be defeated, and the advantage that had been established with great difficulty would collapse in a battle.
