As the 500,000 alien army moved south, Wen Bufan and they gradually retreated to the southwest.

Liangzhou City

In the General's Mansion, Wen Bufan was chatting with Luo Wu and the others.

At this time, Orion walked in and said to Wen Bufan: "Boss! Shangguan Hao is here! As he spoke, Shangguan Hao walked in and shouted:

"Lord!"

In the past nearly a year, Wen Bufan has laid a solid foundation in the southwest of Donglai Kingdom, and there are many mountainous areas in the southwest of Donglai Country, which is very unfavorable for cavalry operations of foreign races! So from the beginning, Wen Bufan took this place as the foundation!

Since he knew that the aliens had mobilized another 500,000 troops, it was inconvenient for Wen to plan to fight against the aliens for a long time! So he wrote to Princess Changping and told him about his plans! I want Shangguan Hao to come to the southwest of Donglai Country to develop the internal affairs here, and let the southwest of Donglai Country become the rear of Wen Bufan's counterattack against the aliens!

Princess Changping immediately transferred Qingzhu to Zhuocheng, and Shangguan Hao also received a letter from Wen Bufan. After Qingzhu arrived in Zhuocheng, Shangguan Hao set off to Liangzhou!

Wen Bufan beckoned Shangguan Hao to sit down and said, "Liangzhou estimates that we won't be able to stay for long!" The 500,000-strong army of aliens is coming at us! We don't have enough troops after all! So we'd better retreat into the mountains! Use your previous tactics! Destroy the living forces of the enemies one by one! ”

Luo Wu and the others nodded.

"The 500,000 troops mobilized by the aliens this time are basically using all the troops! This also shows that the aliens have great ambitions to invade the country of Donglai! On the other hand, after years of fighting, the national strength of Donglai has been consumed a lot! I'm afraid the treasury is also empty! Wen Bufan continued.

"That's right! How can you fight a war without food and grass! Luo Wu said: "The aliens are in such a hurry to attack us! Isn't it just that we have cut off their grain routes in the country of Donglai? ”

"In the past nearly a year, the aliens have grabbed limited grain and grass in the south of Donglai Kingdom, if it is all supplied from the northern regions, not to mention whether those old guys in the royal court will object, but there is a lot of consumption on this way! Aliens won't be counted as not! Xiang Dong said.

"Therefore, we have to inform General Cheng Chong that the pressure on his side will be greater than ours! Let him also withdraw from the state early! Keep fighting the enemy, don't hit the enemy! Wen Bufan said.

"General Wen!" At this time, Wei Xia also walked in and said, "Those aliens went directly to Taizhou!" ”

"Sure enough! How is General Cheng's side? Wen Bufan asked.

"All withdrew, and by this time they had already entered the mountain! Leave an empty city for the aliens! Wei Xia said.

"Good!" Wen Bufan said: "We can't be idle! Send out a proclamation, we will move, let the people pack up as soon as possible, and go into the mountains with us! ”

Three days later, the city of Liangzhou was empty.

An army of 500,000 aliens frantically searched for resistance around Taizhou, but found nothing! Not even the common people have met a few! Strangers who were eager to make contributions began to look for them in the mountains. However, the mountain roads are not conducive to horseback riding. This greatly reduces the mobility of the alien army!

The aliens who enter the mountains often encounter a wave of cold arrows, and they can't even find anyone! After leaving thousands of corpses behind, the aliens reluctantly withdrew from the mountains and forests!

Cheng Chong, who was hiding in the mountains and forests, looked at the retreating alien army, and thought to himself, this General Wen's method is really easy to use!

The aliens tossed in Taizhou for more than half a month, not only did they not see a single resistance army, but they didn't even grab a grain of food!

In desperation, the aliens left 100,000 troops to garrison Taizhou, and the remaining troops began to advance in the direction of Liangzhou, although they grabbed some food along the way, but the consumption of 400,000 troops was also a lot. Along the way, the aliens left another 100,000 troops to garrison the key passes!

After arriving in Liangzhou, there is not much grain and grass left!

300,000 alien troops had to be stationed in Liangzhou, waiting for grain and grass!

Wen Bufan naturally knows all this.

If aliens want food and grass, there are only two ways, one is to loot in the surrounding area! One is to rely on the support of other places!

The first method is the simplest and most practical. So Wen Bufan is ready for these aliens!

"General Wen, Tie Li has already suffered a loss before, will the aliens be fooled this time?" Ouyang Fengbu asked.

"Yes!" Wen Bufan said: "If you don't have food, who can stand it!" Besides, looting has always been the strength of the aliens! They're definitely going out of town to grab it! Give them some sweetness to eat first, and after eating the sweetness, they will naturally deliver it to the door by themselves! ”

Sure enough, on the second day after they came to Liangzhou in the coming year, the aliens sent several troops out of the city to grab food! Some of these small units were beaten by the resistance and fled, while others grabbed some food!

After a few times, the aliens finally discovered that there were fewer resistance troops in some of the slower places near the south! Although there is not much food, it is easy to grab! There are many mountains in the southwest, and there are many resistance troops, so it is very difficult to grab food! Therefore, the aliens are more likely to go to the south of Liangzhou City to rob it. And it turned out to be. Although there is not much food to grab, there is a harvest every day!

More aliens began to move south of Liangzhou City for food. But with the increase in the number of people. Naturally, there will be less food to grab. Some of the aliens continued southward, and these southbound aliens grabbed significantly more food.

So the route of the aliens to loot the grain was lengthened. Occasionally, some aliens went out of the city to grab food and did not come back, but it did not attract the attention of other aliens! It's just a decimal after all!

As the number of people grabbing food continues to increase, some people have begun to go west or east to grab food! Some people even spend days outside!

There are many aliens who come in and out of Liangzhou City every day, and the alien generals naturally join the ranks of looting. No one cares who goes out and who comes back every day!

On this day, a group of aliens discovered a large granary! But the granaries are well guarded! There are 30,000 people guarding it! This group of aliens did not dare to act easily, and quietly retreated to Liangzhou City, telling the news to the commander of the aliens this time, Moiro.

Moiro was overjoyed when he heard this, and although he had grabbed some food for more than a month, it was only enough to maintain his daily consumption. According to the report of the team, the granary they found was quite large. If you can successfully grab it, it will be enough for your army to consume for a few months!

So Moiro began to gather troops and prepare to send troops to loot the granary!

Moirou's collection force only knew that the 50,000 horses that were left behind in the regular were now less than 30,000 people in the city! Moiro had no choice but to order all the troops to return to the city and suspend going out to grab food! Three days later, in addition to the 50,000 horses defending the city, Moiro gathered another 100,000 soldiers and horses! Moiro thinks that these 100,000 soldiers and horses are enough! So he waited no longer for anyone and led the 100,000 soldiers and horses out of the city!
