Chapter 847: Cruelty is better than starvation
Chapter 852
Li Xingzai was looking forward to it in the big tent, if Qi Jiguang could really fool Guan Yu into his camp...... It is comparable to the wings of a tiger, it is simply riding the dragon.
But as soon as he saw the expression on Qi Jiguang's face, Li Xingya's heart was half cold.
"What's the matter, didn't you get it? It's just that, it should have been calculated a long time ago, and the people under Cheng Dalei are not so easy to fool. After all, Cheng Dalei is very cunning. ”
Qi Jiguang nodded silently. The specific process was not said to Li Xingzai, and the key is that I don't know where to start. I didn't have time to fool Guan Yu, so I was fooled by him.
Thinking about Guan Yu's unexpected hospitality, he was afraid that he had been prepared for it. The most hateful thing is that Qi Jiguang really listened to some of the words in his mouth.
Ancient heroes were lonely, to be honest, the pool in the East China Sea is too small, and there are really no big fish. But Liangzhou is full of talents, and with the world's first-class masters as companions, it should be much more satisfying to do things......
Qi Jiguang shook his head, retracted his scattered thoughts, and said, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
Li Xingzai sighed, his tone was a little helpless: "It's difficult, I can only take one step at a time." ”
The strength of the Rong people here is only more than 10,000 people, but the coalition army has 100,000 horses. However, when the ratio of forces to this level has reached, the coalition forces are still controlled everywhere, and the men and horses cannot be used at all.
Guan Yu used the pocket array to give the Rong clan a dismount, but the Rong clan's people and horses here were not a pocket, and they were packed into 100,000 coalition troops.
After the night passed, the princes quarreled again and again. But there is still no practical solution.
The Rong people are not necessarily invincible, the key is who will send them to death and who will reap the credit? When they kill the enemy in front of them, it is difficult for these nominal companions to guarantee that they will not stab themselves in the back.
Today in the big tent, there is another quarrel. Li Xingzai looked at his mouth and heart, and did not say a word in the process. He has completely lost faith in the princes of all walks of life. In the same vein, there is also about fish. He was not involved in today's meeting at all.
The princes of all walks of life are fighting among themselves, and they are all good hands, and intrigues and tricks are endless. But in the face of the Rong clan, it seems that there is no string in the head, and there is no ability to do anything.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. ”
An officer-looking man broke into the big tent panting, Li Xingzai recognized him, he was a person under Wang Lintao of Yuzhou, but the specific name and official position were unknown.
The officer had lost his armor and looked very embarrassed. As soon as he entered the big tent, he knelt down and said: "Your lord, your subordinates are incompetent, and the Scorpion Ridge grain road has been robbed." ”
Yuzhou Wang Lintao was startled, stood up from the chair, opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time.
This person was a grain transport officer under the command of the king of Yuzhou, and the place where the coalition army camped was quite close to Yuzhou, and most of the grain and grass were delivered from Yuzhou.
There was no transfer of the Rong camp on the other side, how did the Rong people rob the grain and grass...... Could it be that there is more than one Rong tribe in this vicinity.
"Report ......" a Yanzhou lieutenant ran into the big tent: "Our army's grain and grass were robbed in Goutou Mountain. ”
"Report ......"
There was a series of announcements, there was silence in the big tent, and everyone had a black face, and it was difficult to see the extreme.
The four main grain routes were all cut off by the Rong people, and once the 100,000 army had no supply of food and grass, it was no different from 100,000 pigs slaughtered by others.
After all, Li Xing was the nominal leader of the coalition forces, and he forcibly suppressed his irritability at this moment, and said, "How many days can the grain and grass of each army last?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Wang Lintao of Yuzhou said: "Our army probably has ten days of grain and grass." ”
"Our army has five days left. ”
"Our army has seven days left. ”
......
The sound of seventy-seven-eighty-eight, in fact, everyone understands it in their hearts, and I am afraid that no one is telling the truth. There is a discount in their words. But the situation is still just as bad.
"The grain and grass have been robbed, if our army strengthens the manpower, can we send the grain and grass over?" Li Xing asked.
"The whereabouts of the Rong tribe are erratic, and above the plains, it is difficult for a team to compete with the Rong tribe. Yanzhou King Lei Tianyin said: "This matter ...... Estimate it will be difficult. ”
This is clearly an operation against the allied forces. The so-called ruthlessness is better than starving food, and once the grain route is cut off, the coalition forces will definitely be panicked. After a few days of hard work, and then a blow of courage, the coalition forces will definitely be defeated.
It's not a clever strategy, but it's very effective in such a situation.
But...... Li Xingzai secretly thought: Does the Rong clan really have this patience?
I'm afraid there are more Rong people around here, not 50,000, but 30,000.
"The Rong people do not have an advantage in strength, and they may not be able to cut off all the grain routes. We're waiting, maybe a food convoy will arrive. Li Xing said.
Everyone didn't have much confidence in this, but Li Xing's words did give everyone hope. And they waited together in the great tent, from noon till evening. Indeed, many people arrived, bringing news that the grain and grass had been looted. From morning till night, not a single grain of rice was delivered to the coalition camp.
This is obviously a painstakingly planned operation, and it is better to attack the coalition camp with the fox army. If that doesn't work, the coalition forces are temporarily restricted. Cut off the grain route outside, slowly wrap it around, and wipe out the coalition forces here.
Everyone had miscalculated, and the Rong had shifted their attention from Chang'an City to the coalition camp. After all, the city of Chang'an is strong, and the sacrifice of the attack is too great. In contrast, the coalition battalions were easier to deal with.
At night, the Rong banner appeared in the south, with more than 10,000 troops.
At the third watch, the Rong banner appeared in the north, and the number of troops was still 10,000.
Before dawn, 10,000 Rong people appeared in the east. Counting the Rong people in the west, the encirclement was completely formed, and the total strength of the Rong people reached 40,000.
40,000 against 100,000, the coalition forces completely lost their advantage.
After the encirclement was formed, the Rong began to shrink the encirclement and set up camp five miles away from the coalition forces.
This is what happened on the first day, and by the second day, a flag appeared to the west of the Rong people.
Bright as fire, bright red as blood...... The flaming banner of the Rong king.
Royal Driver's Expedition.
No one would have thought that the king of the Rong clan would appear here. Sure enough, they postponed the attack on Chang'an City and focused on the 100,000 horses of the coalition army.
They no longer want to be defeated, but destroyed.
The princes of all walks of life are like ants on a hot pot, anxious, but they have no countermeasures. The Rong tribe gradually approached, like a knife that cut off heads, getting closer and closer to everyone's heads.
By the third day, the Rong army was mobilized, and the Rong tribe of the Fox tribe in the west advanced and approached the coalition camp.
A person walked out of the Rong array, holding a sledgehammer, shouting and scolding in front of the array.
He claimed that he was a general under the king of the Rong tribe, and he wanted to let the generals with a face in the coalition camp come out and be killed.
There are Yanzhou Lei Tianyin's generals who went out to fight, but they were smashed off the horse and smashed their heads.
