Cross the bandit to be the emperor

Page 147

The fire burned all night!

At this time, Zhang Haoran just came over. In his opinion, the other party just came to see his jokes!

Don't you just want to withdraw your troops and make everyone look incompetent?

He even wondered if Zhang Haoran wanted to use this to show that the loss of the Shenju Camp was not in vain, thus proving that the enemy was invincible, and withdrawing the army would reduce Zhang Haoran's responsibility!

"In my opinion, it's more like an inside thief! In the dark night, how did the other party find out the location of our food and grass? How did they use a few golden eagles to set fire in so many places? Only inside thieves know us better. It is only possible to set so many fires at the same time if the food and grass are in the same position!"

"I remember that General Zhang said that in a Baiyue tribe, the soldiers of the Shenju Camp were poisoned for some reason. I want to ask, General Zhang can find out, how did you get poisoned? Could it be that there is an insider among you?" Thieves, the poison of the inner thieves, right?"

Zhao Qian stared at Zhang Haoran, said in a deep voice.

At first, Zhao Qian just wanted to counterattack Zhang Haoran. No matter how bold Zhang Haoran was, he probably would not have dared to let his subordinates set fire to their army, but as he spoke, a light suddenly flashed in his heart.

That's right, what if there are internal thieves in Shenju camp?

"Absurd! The place where the fire started, in the ashes, I have already had people check it. I have also asked about the team guarding food and grass. It is no accident, it is as I said! The soldiers of the Shenju Battalion, every day Both of them are innocent, but it's just a defeat, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, why should General Zhao insult the innocence of my Shenju battalion soldiers?" Zhang Haoran laughed angrily.

"Really? How do you explain that your soldiers were poisoned in that Baiyue tribe? I heard some soldiers from the Shenju camp who escaped say that when you were first poisoned, they didn't approach you, they just shot arrows from a distance. , it is obvious that he knows the dietary rules among the senior elites of the Great Merchant Army, so how can General Zhang explain it?" Zhao Qian said lightly.

"As far as I know, some time ago, the thieves took over many Baiyue tribes, and that Baiyue tribe may have been taken over by the thieves. In this case, it can be explained that the people in the Baiyue tribe poisoned them in advance."

"As for them, they know the dietary rules among the senior elites of the Great Merchant Army, which is also very simple. This rule is not a very secret thing. If General Zhao wants to know the background of Qinglongzhai, it is not difficult for them to know this rule. "

Zhang Haoran said in a deep voice.

"General Zhang deserves to be the chief general of the Thousand Gods of Horses. He is unparalleled in wisdom. Zhao admires it. However, Zhao is a little puzzled. Now that General Zhang thinks, they probably know the dietary rules of the senior elites in the Dashang army. General Zhang Why did you do such an unnecessary thing at that time, and lose the lives of many Shenju battalion soldiers for nothing?" Zhao Qian asked with a smile.

Zhang Haoran looked gloomy.

No more talking.

Can he say that he only thought of this matter later?

After all, some things are just possible!Not sure!

However, Zhao Qian intended to criticize, and he was not in the mood to argue anymore!

"What does General Zhao mean?" Zhang Haoran asked directly and calmly.

"The army immediately set out to Manniu City. With our strength, as long as we reach Manniu City, it will not be difficult to destroy Manniu City in an instant. At that time, the problem of food and grass will naturally be solved!" Zhao Qian said lightly.

"What if, during this period, the other party leaves Manniu City?" Zhang Haoran asked coldly.

"So, I'm going to ask General Zhang to do something. I hope that General Zhang can take the rest of the Shenju Camp, plus [-] elite soldiers from the Western Army, to reach Manniu City first, and hold the other party back so that they won't leave. !” said Zhao Qian.

"One hundred Shenju Battalion soldiers, ten thousand Zhenxi Army elite soldiers, General Zhang wouldn't say he couldn't hold them back?" Zhao Qian asked.

Zhang Haoran was silent.

"You are the leader of this war, and I will take orders." After a while, Zhang Haoran said calmly.

Zhao Qian has never commanded high-level elite soldiers to fight, so he has no idea of ​​the true power of a large number of high-level elite soldiers.

Not to mention the power of the top elite soldiers.

It's just that the twenty or so horse cavalry are very difficult to deal with.

There are also the few golden eagles of the enemy, which is also a huge problem.

Has anyone seen a golden eagle that can take people flying?

Who has ever seen a golden eagle that can help people set fire to the sky?

The [-] Zhenxi Army is stronger, but it also has bigger problems!

That is, there are too many people, the goal is big, the action is slow, and the demand for food and grass is too much!

Once it is specially targeted by the enemy, it is hard to say whether the loss will be greater!

Chapter 182 Lost over 2 troops overnight

In fact, according to Zhang Haoran's suggestion, after going back this time, he will go to the emperor and use other methods to deal with the opponent!

Either, the two sides live in peace, or start from the various ethnic groups in Baiyue, or send a large number of high-level elite soldiers to try to kill and maim each other at once. Send a personal head to the other party!

The general soldiers of the Zhenxi Army are also elite businessmen and artifacts of the country, so they shouldn't take such a risk.

But now, he obviously can't convince Zhao Qian.

Or, in your own bones, you also want to gamble?

After all, the previous loss was too miserable.

What Zhao Qian said was actually not an absolutely unfeasible solution.

After all, Zhao Qian is not incapable of being the leader of this operation.

"Start to divide the troops?"

"Still refuse to give up?"

Li Yi was surprised to receive another message from his subordinates.

Is the enemy trying to kill them?

Or, he didn't burn the other party's food last night?

November 29.

night.

Li Yi once again rode the golden eagle to the sky above the conquest army of the Great Merchants.

This time, Li Yi brought eight top-level golden eagles.

Because the time was freed by the collapse of the Shenju Camp, and the number of golden eagles increased, during this time, Li Yi also asked a few golden eagles to search for some other golden eagles around, and eight more golden eagles have been harvested, but However, because of the limited power of faith, Li Yi only upgraded two top-level golden eagles.

For the other six, Li Yi just raised them to intermediate level and raised them in Man Niu City, without officially using them.

During this period of time, his power of faith was greatly consumed, staying below [-] points for a lot of time, and even fell to around [-] points several times. He had to maintain a relatively high amount of power of faith, otherwise, it would not be enough To deal with all kinds of accidents.

For ordinary forces and ordinary troops, fighting is fighting for money.

For Li Yi, fighting is fighting the power of faith.

After upgrading the two top golden eagles, Li Yi's power of faith was only about [-] points left.

The eight top-level golden eagles were dispatched together. This time, Li Yi could carry more kerosene packages.

In fact, Li Yi can also upgrade a few high-level golden eagles so that they can carry more kerosene packages.

However, high-level golden eagles are inferior to top-level golden eagles in all aspects of speed, agility, and intelligence. , Li Yi is the only one, and it is very troublesome to direct too many golden carvings of different levels to do this kind of delicate work at the same time.

Li Yi thought about it, then gave up.

Thinking about it, in the future, he still needs to train some subordinates to cooperate with the golden eagle. He can't always do this kind of thing.

call!call!call!

Packs of kerosene fell into the army one by one, and in a short while, pieces of fire ignited.

Although, this night, the conquest army of the big merchants and the guards guarding the grain and grass were stricter, but Li Yi deliberately picked the grain that was easier to burn and burned it.

"Fire, fire, fire"

Below, soldiers exclaimed one by one.

"It's the enemy's golden eagle! Someone really set fire on a golden eagle!"

"Take an arrow and shoot them!"

"It's too high, and the top marksman who can't hit it can't hit it"

Some people looked at the sky and said in surprise.

That night, many people paid special attention to the sky, and they actually saw eagles in the sky, and there were people.

Under the moon, eight golden eagles were circling in the sky, and one person was flying together below.

Like the gods at night looking down on the mortals on the ground, the eight golden eagles are the guardians.

Among the army, Zhao Qian had an ugly face.

Zhang Haoran really hit the spot.

The enemy really set fire on the golden eagle.

This made him feel incredible. He had read countless military books, but he had never heard of such a thing.

However, the facts were in front of him, but he couldn't allow him not to believe it.

at dawn.

The big merchant conquest army counted the losses.

Because this night, all kinds of food and grass were placed and scattered, and a lot of fireproof cloth was covered, and many night watchmen had stored a lot of water for preparation, but it seemed that only one tenth of it was lost.

However, Zhao Qian's heart is still very heavy.

Compared with an army of 10,000+, even one-tenth of the food and grass is not a small number.

This is the depths of Baiyue. When they want to conquer the Quartet to replenish food and grass, they must have enough Baiyue tribes for them to conquer.

The Great Merchant's conquest army marched forward, and all the Baiyue tribes in all directions retreated. This method is very difficult to work.

For the time being, there is only one way to supplement from the rear.

However, it was also this point that made Zhao Qian feel the heaviest.

This method of the enemy is too weird.

You can use this method to deal with them. Naturally, you can use this method to deal with the rear food transportation team. They are hard to resist. Can the rear food transportation team resist it?

In addition, the damage to morale is also huge!

For two consecutive days, the food and grass were successfully set on fire by the enemy, and the morale of the entire conquest army dropped a lot!

There were even faint rumors that their army entered Baiyue and angered the god of the grassland, so they were set ablaze by the golden eagle in the air. If they didn't retreat, they might starve to death on the grassland!

Killed many people in a row before stopping the rumors!

However, the rumors stopped, but people's hearts couldn't be stopped!

What Zhao Qian didn't know was.

A food convoy five hundred miles behind them.

On the night when their food and grass were burned for the second time, a big fire also ignited.

However, the other party's messengers and messenger birds were all killed by Li Yi's men and the golden eagle, and there was no news.

On this day, Zhao Qian gritted his teeth and let the army move on.

As long as the Manniu City is taken down, there is still room for change.

November thirty.

night.

Li Yi came again on eight golden eagles.

This time, Da Shang's loss of food and grass was even smaller, not even one-twentieth of it.

Although the morale of the entire army declined again, Zhao Qian was full of confidence, thinking that the enemy's methods could no longer threaten them, and when their 10,000+ army arrived at Manniu City, the opponent would die without a place to bury him. That's when he made great achievements.

But I don't know.

Just thousands of miles away from them, the second food delivery team caught fire at night.

This time, Li Yi thought for a while, and did not kill the opponent's messenger soldiers and messenger birds.

In two days, the big merchant conquest army was only more than 400 miles away from Manniu City, and it only took three days to reach it.

The vanguard army, about [-] elite soldiers of the Zhenxi Army, is only about [-] miles away from Manniu City, and it only takes a day or two to get there.

In a short time, Li Yi didn't want to confront so many troops head-on.

Let the other party mess up first.

In fact, the incident of attacking the opponent's food delivery team could not be kept secret for long.

After all, the food transport team, which is very important for an expeditionary army, keeps in touch almost every day, and if they can't get in touch for a day, it means that the other party may have an accident.

really.
