Chapter 106: Stratagem in the Night
Ling Luoxi's figure over there was like a puff of green smoke, and his feet rushed towards this side very quickly, and when he got close to Xu Luo, he didn't have time to catch his breath, so he said: "One hundred and twenty miles away, I found a grain transport team of about 3,000 people! There are more than 1,000 carts! According to preliminary estimates, there are at least one million catties of grain and grass!"
"So much!" The little fat man Liu Feng's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Luo and said, "Let's do a big one!"
"What's more, these grains and grasses can consume an army of 200,000 in ten days at most, and it may even be consumed in ten days!" Xu Luo said.
"What, the consumption of an army of 200,000 is so great!" The little fat man and Ling Luoxi were both a little frightened.
I thought that there were already a lot of millions of catties of grain and grass, but I didn't expect that this was just the consumption of 200,000 troops for ten days.
"What do you think war is?" Xu Luo glanced at the two of them and sighed lightly: "Every war is based on a large amount of financial consumption, if you win, you will either occupy the land of the defeated side, or get the compensation of the defeated side, in short...... The winning side will not lose money. ”
"If you lose...... Wouldn't it be miserable?" Ling Luoxi said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Xu Luo nodded: "Then what do you think, the losing side not only has to bear the pain caused by the defeat itself, but also has to pay for the enemy's consumption...... War is never merciful. ”
"In that case, the 200,000 troops of the Great Yan Kingdom have been confronting us, and the daily consumption is an astonishing number!" Liu Feng frowned slightly and said, "If we can completely cut off their food and grass, wouldn't we be able to surrender without a fight?"
"Your idea is good. Xu Luo smiled: "First of all, it is impossible for the 200,000 army to be without food, and secondly, ...... With just a few of us, can we cut off the enemy's supply of grain and grass? Don't dream! Didn't you listen to Instructor Zhou, our main task this time is ...... It's harassment! As for completely cutting off ...... That's impossible!"
"Well, it would be nice to drive them into a dead end and set them on fire. Liu Feng said whimsically.
"Don't think about it, that's impossible!" Ling Luoxi said on the side.
Xu Luo didn't directly deny Liu Feng, in fact, there was also such a thought in his heart!
From the moment he arrived here, Xu Luo had already started to work on this idea.
Meow Meow also went out to explore the terrain, if he could really find that kind of terrain, Xu Luo didn't mind setting a fire at all!
Soon, everyone got together and discussed.
Xu Luo said: "Now the situation is like this, Mo Yun's remnants happened to be encountered by us, there is an enemy army transporting grain more than a hundred miles away, about more than 3,000 people to escort it, according to the speed of travel, if they don't stop day and night, they will probably be able to reach here tomorrow evening." If they stop to rest, it will be at least two days before they get here. ”
Ling Luoxi said: "I see that each cart is equipped with four horses, two pulling the cart and two idle, coupled with the speed of the road, it should be ready to advance day and night, maybe it won't take tomorrow evening to reach this side." ”
"Although Mo Yun's team is a remnant, there are still eight or nine thousand people who maintain their combat strength, and we harass them in front of them...... It's a bit unrealistic. However, I do have a different opinion. Li Hong said, smiling at everyone.
"After this victory, I deliberately asked General Cao to learn about the form of the Great Yan Army, and found a very interesting thing. ”
Li Hong said with a smile: "Mo Yun, who was defeated this time, is a very popular female general in Dayan, but in the family...... She is not very valued, which is also the fundamental reason why she is desperate to make contributions in the army. In fact, her family even wants to marry her to Wu Xiaxian, the most powerful general in the entire Great Yan Kingdom!"
"Uh...... The name of the general who annexed 200,000 and confronted our army is quite similar to me. Xiahou Xian muttered softly.
"That young general is very interested in Mo Yun, a female general, but unfortunately, Mo Yun doesn't like that general Wu at all, so he has been staying in the army, with 50,000 elites, and wants to establish his own career through surprise attacks, but it's a pity...... was mixed up by the boss alone. ”
When Li Hong said this, he looked at Xu Luo with a smile and said, "Boss, you said that if that female general knew about this matter, would she hate to hunt you down to the ends of the earth?"
"Haha
Xu Luo rolled his eyes: "You can't talk nonsense, why was it mixed up by me alone? Don't you have a share? That's a ninth-order great sword master...... I don't want to be remembered by her. ”
Li Hong laughed for a while, and then said: "The reason why I talked about this is because I want to use the relationship between them to create some conflicts! The best thing is to make Mo Yun and Wu Xiaxian completely opposed!"
"Yes, speaking of which, I have also learned some things between them, and I even think that if Mo Yun wants to reorganize the remnants, then the first thing he needs is the replenishment of the baggage, and they are now exhausted, and they can only fight the ideas of those teams on the grain road. ”
Xu Luo's eyes flickered, like a cunning little fox: "But those teams that carry grain are all Wu Xiaxian's people, General Wu admires Mo Yun, but the officers and soldiers who transport grain below ...... Wouldn't you also have a lot of respect for a defeated general? Not to mention, Luo Xi said that there are still a lot of Cao Guo's soldiers in that grain transportation team?"
Ling Luoxi nodded a little dazedly: "That's right, I came into contact with General Cao some time ago, and I also know a little about Cao Guo's accent, although I am a little far away, I can still hear their voices." Moreover, the soldiers of the Yan State were not very friendly to the soldiers of the Cao State, and the people on both sides were very clear. ”
Li Hong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Luo and said, "It's worthy of being the boss, think of going with me." ”
Over there, the emperor also showed a smile on his face.
Liang Ziyi scratched his head and looked at everyone with a confused expression: "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
"Ha Luha, you don't need to understand, just follow us!" Li Hongda stood up with a smile, and then said: "Get ready, tonight, we will go to meet the team transporting grain......!" In this way, Ziyi, you and Liu San, Xiao Tian and Xiahou Xian, well, plus Sui Yan, a few of you, go do one thing first, after doing this, you will guard here tonight, and we will do another thing!"
......
Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
The baggage team of the Great Yan Kingdom still did not stop advancing in the thick night.
Torches drove the night, standing on a high place and looking from afar, the procession of grain was like a long fire dragon.
Xu Luo and the others all covered their faces, wore night clothes, nodded to each other, and then rushed towards the team that was coming from afar, taking advantage of the night.
Crunch!
Heavy grain and grass pressed against the wagon, and the wheels kept making an overwhelmed sound.
In the darkness, the horses pulling the cart also made heavy gasping sounds.
Rushing overnight, people are sleepy and tired.
But the grain and grass officer did not dare to stop for a moment, if he could not arrive at the specified time, he, the grain and grass officer, would be dealt with by military law!
Thinking of this, the grain and grass officer couldn't help but be a little worried.
Today, the scout came to report that there was a large army blocking the road ahead, and after probing, he found that it was his own people.
The remnants of General Mo Yun.
The news of Mo Yun's defeat has spread, and the grain and grass officials didn't care much about it, he was Wu Xiaxian's person, although Mo Yun's defeat made him a little uncomfortable, but for him, as long as his own general didn't defeat the battle, it didn't matter.
He, the grain and grass officer, only needs to transport the grain and grass well, and everything will be fine.
Unexpectedly, Mo Yun's remnants actually came to this grain road, and the intention was self-evident.
"Damn, it's really unlucky, why did you catch up with me this time?" The grain and grass officer had a headache, and if possible, he even wanted to bypass Mo Yun's army.
It's a pity that there is only one road on this grain road, and there is no way to detour around it.
Besides, people are already in the way, he can take a detour, can't people catch up?
How can a heavy team keep up with the speed of light horsemen?
"It seems...... If you don't have some blood this time, it's not good, it's a big deal, just leave them 100,000 catties of grain and grass, and I believe that the general won't blame me...... Alas, that's all it can do. ”
Thinking in his heart, the grain and grass officer raised his head and shouted loudly: "All cheer up, this grain road may not be peaceful recently, and there is a split within Cao State, I believe you have all heard about it, don't give the enemy a chance!"
As he was talking, suddenly there was a slight commotion at the back of the line.
"What's going on?" the grain and grass officer frowned, slightly annoyed, and the direction of the commotion came from the Cao soldiers in the ranks.
The grain and grass officer didn't like those people at all, and didn't even want to add them to his ranks.
This is what the general meant, and he can't resist.
"It seems that an unidentified person has been found...... "Someone came quickly to tell you."
"Huh, unidentified person?" the grain and grass officer's expression turned slightly, and a powerful momentum erupted from his body.
The air around you suddenly tightened!
This seemingly inconspicuous grain and grass official turned out to be a powerhouse in the realm of the Great Sword Master, and under the tension just now, he released his True Yuan aura for the first time.
"It shouldn't be fine, it seems that there are not many people, and after being discovered, they ran away, and we sent a few people to catch up. The person said.
"It's better to be careful, and if it doesn't work, send some more people. The grain and grass officer said in a deep voice.
At this time, there were suddenly several terrible screams in the distance, accompanied by the exclamations of the soldiers here.
"You...... You guys...... Don't you dare...... Ahh
