Chapter 14 Truncating Supply
The head of Chu Qi smiled and nodded approvingly at Fengyun Shang. Fengyun Shang was not the sitter he had arranged in advance, and his sitter hadn't even had time to speak.
As for the bandit leader in the main hall, he curled his lips secretly, saying that being oppressed by Liyang officials was just a slogan that everyone used to deceive others. They just didn't want to give up the happiness of being king in the mountains.
However, they heard the meaning of Fengyun Shang's words very clearly: Surrendering will only lead to death, but fighting to the death may still have a glimmer of hope.
On the surface, the bandit leaders agreed very much with this, and they all shouted slogans: "We are not the same as Liyang." As for whether they will be the same after leaving the main hall, no one can guarantee.
After the leader of Chu Qi shouted a few slogans, he said to the second leaders of Menglou and Hu Yun villages: "I would also like to ask you two to report the situation to the leader of Guizhai and come to rescue as soon as possible."
The second leaders of the two villages nodded. No matter what unpleasantness they had before, the only way to survive in front of Liyang's army was to stick together.
The two second masters did not participate in the subsequent discussions, but returned to their own village under the cover of Chu Qizhai.
Not only to send the information back to their own village faster, but also because what comes next is the internal affairs of Chu Qizhai and it is inconvenient for them to participate.
"Everyone, since we want to unite to resist Liyang, there should be a leader among us. Therefore, I boldly ask Master Chu Qi to serve as our commander." The childcare arranged by Master Chu Qi stood up and shouted
He said, as if he would fight anyone who disagreed.
Of course, no fool would object to this, and the leader of Chu Qi did not bother to be hypocritical and polite, and directly took over the leadership position.
Commander Chu Qi was quite satisfied with the performance of the nursery, and he got a better job in the subsequent task arrangements: responsible for logistics.
Although the work is not easy, fortunately, he does not have to fight on the battlefield and can preserve his strength very well. Toler has already begun to think about how to annex his neighbors whose strength has been greatly reduced after the war. He has even begun to take action on logistical supplies.
brain.
Master Chu Qi originally planned to give Fengyun Shang a safe job, but then he thought of Dongyu Village's impressive combat effectiveness, and felt a little reluctant to part with it.
Fortunately, Fengyun Shang took the initiative to ask for help and said: "The village has no talent and has not been established for a long time, but it is still willing to serve the master and make a sneak attack on Liyang to supply grain and grass."
Master Chu Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "Master Fu Shang needs to know that Li Chengzhou has always sought stability and will not relax in the supply of grain and grass. This is not a simple matter. Are you sure?"
But he had long ago determined in his heart that Dongyu Village must be involved in this matter, and even if Fengyun Shang didn't say it himself, he would find a way to mention it.
"Although the village is weak, we hope to dedicate all the strength of the village to cut off Liyang's supplies." Fengyun Shang's words made the bandit leaders in the main hall sneer. They didn't believe it at all, and they believed that Fengyun Shang was trying to borrow money.
This preserves strength.
He left Chuqi Stronghold in the name of cutting off Liyang's supplies. Anyway, Li Chengzhou was strict in running the army, so he couldn't be blamed even if Dongyu Stronghold failed.
Many bandit leaders were envious of this and proposed that they were willing to serve the leader, but they were sent to do dirty, tiring and dangerous work by the leader of Chu Qi under Huatou's "gentle and elegant" attitude.
However, when Fengyun Shang was leaving, Master Chu Qi kept Feng Qiyang with a smile. If Dongyu Village did not obey orders outside, no one could guarantee that Feng Qiyang would be attacked and killed by Liyang's army. After all, it was so
Chaos, anything can happen.
Fengyun Shang returned to Dongyu Village and wisely allowed Feng Qiyang and the dozen or so people who came with him to stay in Chuqi Village.
The big bosses, including him, only brought a few close associates with them, and did not bring everyone in the village. After all, they did not want their village to be looted when they left.
Dongyu Village was established not long ago, and there are only less than thirty old, weak, women, and children in the village. It is unlike other villages that have families and families. Therefore, there are fewer manpower left behind.
Fengyun Shang left all the few dozen horses left in the stockade in the stockade and put them under Cheng Feng's control. If something unexpected happens, they can be used whether he sticks to the stockade or abandons the stockade and flees.
The cavalry has always been a treasure in Dongyu Village. It is not the horses that are valuable, but the people who can ride them.
Liyang Prefecture is a traditional farming state, and few people know how to ride a horse. It will take several years to train a person who cannot ride a horse into a cavalry, even with the help of horse equipment.
The current cavalry in Dongyu Village are all selected from the bodyguards, and they are only responsible for intelligence reconnaissance. As for fighting, Fengyun Shang is reluctant to let these treasures get involved unless he has no choice. It is the same this time, the bodyguards are from cavalry backgrounds.
They were all left in the village.
Cheng Feng was left in the stronghold, Feng Qiyang was detained in Chuqi, and only Huo Shiyi followed Fengyun Shang. The face of this martial artist was full of expectations, and his eyes were burning with warlike flames.
Chuqi Village did not know Liyang Prefecture's logistics supply transportation route, but Li Chengzhou quietly sent a road map to Dongyu Village.
Following the route map, Fengyun Shang led the bandits from Dongyu Village and slowly approached the supply transportation route in Liyang Prefecture. The supplies that Li Zilai had prepared to send to Fengyun Shang with the help of this war were all coming and going on this route.
"Don't worry, send out scouts to investigate around." To complete the show, Feng Yun Shang passed Li Chengzhou's camp and ordered Huo Shiyi to personally lead people to conduct reconnaissance.
With the road map provided by Li Chengzhou, naturally he could find out whatever he wanted, and it didn't take long for detailed information to be sent to Fengyun Shang.
"Shang Huo (pseudonym) listen to the order." Feng Yun Shang Lue thought deeply and then ordered: "You lead a hundred people to harass the grain road. You must not fight. When you hear the sound of my gold ringing, you must retreat." It was so uncomfortable to hold back.
Huo Shiyi naturally accepted the order and left happily.
The roads in Mangdang Mountain were rugged, and it had only been a few days since the Liyang army led by Li Chengzhou entered Mangdang Mountain. Therefore, there were almost no protective fortifications on the grain road, so they had to increase the escort manpower.
Hundreds of people were escorting grain, fodder and military equipment along the winding road. The general in charge of escorting the grain and fodder had a serious look on his face.
The place where they are now is a natural valley road. It is not reliable to build fortifications such as bunkers, so it is the weakest place in the entire grain road.
Xu squinted his eyes, and the mount under his crotch was a little restless. The general reached out and patted the mount's head, frowning even more tightly.
The mount under his crotch is not a mortal thing, but a psychic monster with an extraordinary premonition of danger. He once again sent two teams of sentries to explore the road, which slightly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
"Sir, after the food and fodder are escorted this time, could you please talk to General Li and ask other troops to switch with us so that we can also fight on the battlefield?"
The deputy general next to him came up and said, and the general's brows tightened a little more.
He was a close confidant of the previous governor of Liyang Prefecture, and he did not come to Li Zilai's side immediately, so he was not reused.
If it were another state pastor, he would just lean over. After all, as an emperor and a courtier, you still have to hug the thighs that should be hugged.
But it happened that Li Zilai had a disagreement with his predecessor, Zhou Mu, so even if he leaned over to Li Zilai, he wouldn't take it.
"Let's talk about this later." The general sighed, Li Zilai's suppression had already come.
He was sent to transport grain and fodder. If he did it well, it wouldn't be much credit, but if he didn't do it well, it would be a big mistake. The general wanted to refuse, but Li Chengzhou said, "The troops and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first." He stopped him and came back.
It seems that it has been reused.
The general, who felt miserable in his heart, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "Let's see, there is probably no chance." The deputy general was silent after hearing this, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
"General, both groups of sentries have returned and confirmed that there is no ambush ahead." When the sentries came to report, the general breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the grain team to set off slowly again.
"After passing this winding valley, the speed can be increased." The general thought in his heart: "After passing this area, there are the Chi Road built by General Li and the bunkers along the way. It is almost impossible to sneak attack and destroy the grain.
Impossible. If the bandits in Chuqi Village want to destroy the grain, this valley is their last chance."
Thinking of this in his mind, he couldn't help but worry a little. When a burst of fighting came from the front, a stone fell in the general's heart.
"Order the first reserve team to quickly reinforce and ensure the safety of food and grass." The general ordered in an orderly manner, "In addition, let the second reserve team be prepared to put out fires to prevent the enemy from setting fire to the food."
Li Chengzhou's army has not yet engaged in large-scale battles, and the weapons and equipment have not suffered much loss, so almost all of the supplies this time are grain and grass. Compared with the iron lumps of the weapons, these grains and grass can be easily burned clean by a fire.
"General, we can no longer hold up the front." The deputy general who went to direct the battle sent someone to ask for help. The general sent the third reserve team up and asked: "How many enemies are attacking?"
"Reporting back to the general, there are about a hundred bandits who are attacking. Although the number is small, they are all elites, especially the leader. Even Deputy General Cheng is no match for him." The sentry knight said quickly.
The general raised his eyebrows and said: "Vice General Cheng is a monk in the realm of refining gods. He is no match for him. I'm afraid the leader of some bandit village is here."
After some thought, I gave up the idea of sending a reserve team and ordered the supervising team to join the battle.
