Chapter 246 Mystery of the Enemy (I)
"Strategist!"
Ertona got off the horse, Zhang Liang's legs were weak, and there was a burst of pain behind him, I was afraid that I would not be able to do it, "Princess, if Zhang Liang dies, can you leave a place in the princess's heart!" ”
Ertona shook her head, "Erdona's heart has already been filled, and she can no longer tolerate others, and the love of the military advisor will only make Erdona feel painful and depressed." ”
"Got it!" Zhang Liang smiled bitterly, wishful thinking for this kind of thing is the most distressing, no matter how much he pays, in the end, he can't even get a word of comfort before he dies.
Ertona looked back, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, the dagger was inserted in Zhang Liang's buttocks, but it was just a little hardship, and she must not have to worry about her life.
In the western camp, Bai Ying led his troops to catch up, but he was still a step slower, and took advantage of the chaos to attack the Donghu cavalry and went straight to the grain and grass camp, and the book implied that the old patriarch of the Jebe tribe had been planning for a long time, and even did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to win over the people around the king of Donghu for his own use, and the location of the Zhao army's grain and grass camp and the deployment of troops were also spread by that person in a special way.
"General, it's on fire!"
"Damn! None of these people remained. ”
Bai Ying led the troops to kill, attacking the grain and grass camp Donghu cavalry and the guards fell into a fight, the place where the fire was set on fire was only the outer camp, if you can break in, as long as the torch is thrown in, all the grain coefficient of the entire Zhao army will be burned out, hundreds of thousands of people, the amount of food consumed every day can be imagined, and there is no food will inevitably fall into a dilemma.
Zhao Kuo also saw the firelight, the firelight rose, and then he heard the horn of Donghu's retreat, the goal had been achieved, so he simply withdrew for the time being.
The sword light fell, and the last person fell from the horse, the fire was even stronger, and the smoke billowed over the entire lower camp, and one person came to the front, "General Bai, the last general will not be able to protect it, please punish the general." ”
"Punishment will not help, and remedial measures should be taken immediately."
If the grain and grass are piled up with each other, the fire must not be remedied, now it is different, there is a gap in the grain and grass accumulation, the defenders rush in quickly against the fire, the fire position gradually extends inward, and the heat wave under the fire hits, hands and feet move together, carry it, throw it, and throw it directly into the fire nearby, as long as it can vacate a certain space to prevent the spread of the fire.
The first rays of sunlight rose, the entire border land was completely dyed red, and a miserable beauty was revealed under the sunlight, Zhao Kuo bent down, and the arrow in his chest was sure to die, and suddenly a bloody arm suddenly stretched out, grabbed his ankle, and his whole body was pressed under the corpse, and only one arm was stretched out.
"There are still people alive here."
The soldiers stepped forward, quickly lifted the corpse away, and the joy on his face slowly condensed, and it was not the Zhao people but the Donghu people who were pressed below, covered in blood, and the dead war horse was upside down on the side, it should have fallen off the horse during the fight, and it is unknown where the injury was.
"Donghu people!"
"It's more than innocent to die!"
"Save!"
Zhao Kuo ordered, a few people had to lift the person out, the corner of the person's mouth moved, and a drop of bloody tears faintly fell from the corner of his eye, someone quickly stepped forward and carefully examined it, but it was just a broken leg, and the body was fine.
From time to time, someone was carried out of the pile of dead bodies, and one person looked at it and shook his head again and again, not breathing much, and bent down, "If you have a last wish, you can still say it." ”
The corner of the man's mouth moved a few times, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth, and the soldier in charge of the ambulance couldn't help but sigh, brushed his left hand down, opened his eyes and slowly closed them.
After counting, the Zhao army camp suffered nearly 20,000 casualties in the first battle, of which the lower camp suffered the most casualties.
The fire continued, and the soldiers were so tired that they lay directly on the ground, so they simply saved one of the granaries, only to watch the other two granaries gradually stop being submerged by the fire, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt food.
"Throw in everything you can ignite, and the fire must not stop."
Zhao Kuo ordered, the soldiers moved quickly, found the dilapidated camp tent from the camp, and threw the wood discarded in the border pass one by one, and as the things were thrown in, the fire that had just fallen rose again, and the whole sky was completely covered with smoke.
"What does that mean?"
"General, this is what the king means, and we don't know."
Bai Ying nodded, since it was the king's order to simply stop asking, and led the guards to rush to the middle camp, the corpses of the dead and wounded soldiers were all over the way, and the approaching Chinese army happened to see the king bending over to help up a person, Bai Ying hurriedly jumped off the horse, shook his legs and flew forward, the man's chest was cut, the flesh turned out, Zhao Kuo probed with his hand, and there was breath, as long as the rescue method was properly enough to save a life, after countless deaths and injuries, every life was indeed so precious, last night's flying horse arrow rain was the cheer of the victor or the wail of the loser!
"King, let Bai Ying come."
Zhao Kuo pressed it with his hand, the blood still kept flowing out, too much blood loss had too much impact on the injury, Bai Ying tore off a piece of cloth tape and wrapped it around the other party, someone came over, several people worked together to slowly lift it, every movement was so careful, life became so fragile at this moment, one would lose it inadvertently.
"It's been a hundred kills, this kind of person is not worth saving!"
Mu Chen came from the upper camp, and happened to see the soldiers treating the Donghu people, thinking of the dead and injured in the night attack last night, he couldn't help but feel angry, the man looked at him for a while, Mu Chen had a hot temper, "Don't squeeze your eyebrows with Lao Tzu." ”
"The king must not save those who are allowed to be saved."
Mu Chen was helpless, and stepped forward quickly, "King, Mu Chen can't figure it out, why waste medicinal materials for this kind of person." ”
"In the eyes of this king, there are only the dying and injured now, and there is no distinction between Zhao and Hu at all."
"Save him, and he will return to the grassland, pick up weapons and fight us."
"Heaven is always fair, if this is the case, the next time it will definitely not be so lucky, how about the camp?"
Mu Chen's head flickered, "It's okay, no one can get any benefit from Mu Chen, where is the fire?" ”
"Grain and grass camp!"
"What! Bai Ying, what are you kid eating, the grain and grass camp can still be attacked by people. ”
"You think I want to think that the other party is attacking too fiercely, and it will already catch fire when I bring people over."
"It's really strange, the Donghu people are not rats, how do they know the location of our grain and grass camp." Mu Chen patted his head, and Bai Ying nodded on the side, "It's indeed a little strange." ”
"The king wants to know, too."
The three of them looked at each other, the brothers had the same heart to mind, a far more terrible crisis than the night attack on the Donghu cavalry appeared around them, if they couldn't find out the person who delivered the news, every step in the future would be known by the other party in advance, if it was really too terrible, the hundreds of thousands of troops of Zhao State could only be slaughtered.
The footsteps sounded, and the guards stepped forward quickly, and whispered a few words when they came closer, Zhao Kuo nodded, "Go and see." ”
Zhang Liang was lying there, exposing his body in front of outsiders for the first time, especially in that position, so embarrassing, the man's hands and feet were also nimble, he tore his pants a few times, fortunately he was tied to his buttocks, and he would definitely die if he changed to another position, "Strategist, it's time to do it, hold on." ”
With a muffled snort, the dagger was pulled out, and a stream of blood arrows spewed out, and the man quickly poured the medicinal powder on it, and had already prepared a clean cloth strip on the side, took it in his hand and put his hands down, and wrapped it several times in a row.
"That's it!"
"There is labor."
The man walked out quickly, there were too many wounds in the barracks, and the entire military medical battalion was dispatched, even so, there was still a shortage of manpower, Erdona stood in front of the door, looking down at the tip of her shoes, if she hadn't met the king, she would definitely not refuse in the face of such a man who valued love and justice, but now she can't, she really can't, all the one qiē is completely handed over to the king and can no longer be recovered.
"Erdona."
Erdona turned around, her face beaming with joy, "King." ”
"Why was the advisor injured in the battalion?"
"It's all because Erdona doesn't know how to read people, those people have long been bought by the Jebel clan, and they stayed here just to seize the opportunity to make trouble, so they were simply discovered by the military advisor, and they were finally injured after a fight."
"I see."
All the mysteries were solved in an instant, "Let's go and see the injuries of the military division first." ”
The three of them entered at the same time, Zhang Liang was lying there, seeing the king entering and trying to get up, Zhao Kuo walked a few steps quickly, "The military advisor is injured, don't move." ”
"Zhang Liang is ashamed of the king."
Zhao Kuo patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, "You and I are called Junchen, in fact, brothers should not distinguish each other, advance and retreat together, the words of the military advisor that day are also for the sake of the overall situation and there is no fault, just a little, the side troubles are not eliminated, Zhao Yong has no peace." ”
"Yes, for the sake of those innocent brothers who died in vain, this battle is settled." Mu Chen waved his fist.
"The fire in the camp." Zhang Liang's face was worried, although he had not seen it in person, he could already conclude from the fire that the granary camp was affected, and the burning of grain had a great impact on the army.
"The military advisor can recuperate with peace of mind, and this king has his own way to deal with it."
Zhao Kuo ordered that only rice porridge be boiled every day, most of which was given to the wounded, and the fire burned for a day, and the soldiers in charge of transporting it looked at the fading fire in front of them, there was really nothing else to burn, and almost all the trees were found within a radius, and the trees were basically cut down.
Outside the border pass, a team of cavalry stood on the grassland, "It's burned well, I don't want the Zhao people to hoard so much food." ”
"Zhao Kuo's ambition is not small, he is not satisfied with destroying the four countries one after another this time, and he wants to conquer the entire grassland, which is really a fool's dream."
"This time, you should be the first to take the lead and reward you with 100 cattle and sheep."
"King Xie." The man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was the one who stayed in Erdona's camp to secretly deliver the news.
Three days have passed, the number of cooking smoke rising in Zhao Kuo's camp every day is getting less and less, and the king of Donghu is happy, so it can only show that the Zhao army has no food available, the grain and grass of the Yan country has been insufficient, and the time to mobilize grain and grass from the rear is too long, the king of Zhao must be like ants on a hot pot at this time, entering, there is no food available, the army is difficult to hold for a long time, if you retreat, the border pass is difficult to protect, except for Jicheng, the other cities are almost within the attack range of the Donghu cavalry.
"Zhao Kuo, see how long you can delay!"
The night is dark and the wind is high, it is strange to say, it should have been the time of sleeping, the soldiers in the valley behind the Zhao army camp ran back and forth, thousands of pots were set up in the valley, and the fragrant horse meat was boiled in it, and the dead and wounded war horses of the Donghu camp in the previous war now came in handy, and the cooking smoke rose, and it was quickly swallowed up by the night.
"They are all full of food and drink, and the king has an order, and they will be hungry during the day."
"With this meal, don't say that you don't eat for a day, even if you are hungry for three days, it's worth it."
Laughter came out of the valley, this is Zhao Kuo's method of confusing the enemy, first increasing the fire, forcing the Donghu people to believe that all the grain has been burned, and after dawn, the number of camps on fire and cooking rice is more than ten times less than usual, so the other party is even more convinced.
