Chapter 558: The food and grass have not been moved, but the soldiers and horses go first.
"Report——"
As night falls, a bonfire is set up and all the slaughtered cattle and sheep are put into the pot. Soon the rich aroma of meat wafts up.
All the soldiers looked at the fresh meat in the pot eagerly, and couldn't stop drooling from their mouths. This was the first hot meal they had eaten in more than ten days!
Moreover, it is beef and mutton with high calories, which is perfect for keeping warm in winter!
But at this moment, a messenger ran into the commander's camp in a panic.
At this time, the lights in the camp were brightly lit, and in front of each general was a large plate of prepared beef and mutton.
They drank hot wine from the cups, looked at the beautiful women dancing in the middle, and talked about their romantic past.
But the good atmosphere was disturbed by this hurried messenger, which made many generals feel annoyed.
"what happened?"
"I'm so panicked that I didn't see anything. What are we doing now? Let's wait until we finish drinking to talk about anything!"
"Just, don't disturb our mood!"
There will be a war tomorrow, so they won't be allowed to relax tonight.
"The beef and mutton you have over there should be almost cooked. Go and eat it quickly. Eat as much as you want. Even if you are full, you won't finish all the meat cooked today!"
Because they have killed all the cattle and sheep that came here, even if these soldiers eat a lot, and one person can eat two people, it will take at least a meal and a half to finish them all!
"No, General Marshal, we may not be able to eat the cattle and sheep tonight!"
I can't let go, what's going on?
"What are you doing? You can eat whatever I tell you. This is a reward for the battle tomorrow, and it will be given to you tonight. If you don't have a full meal, how can you have the strength to fight!"
The marshals and generals in the camp were puzzled, what kind of evil wind was this messenger going to prevent them from eating?
"Yes... our army's transport of grain and grass was robbed, and the entire army was wiped out. Not a single cattle, sheep, or grain of grain was left for us!"
“Our next two rooms are all gone!”
"Bang——"
Upon hearing this, the commander sitting at the top of the tent crushed the wine glass in his hand. At the same time, the sound of the music and the movements of the dancer stopped abruptly.
The eyes of all the generals in the audience were focused on the messenger, which caused cold sweat to break out all over his body. It was obviously winter, but his body was already wet with sweat. He knelt on the ground and did not even dare to breathe.
For a moment, I didn't even dare to look up at the faces of the commander-in-chief and generals.
"What did you say? What happened?"
Soldiers are valuable and quick, everyone knows this truth.
They lost everything they could to lose weight, so it took them more than ten days to cross Tarim.
Therefore, when the five-nation coalition rushed over, they did not bring much luggage, not even a change of clothes. They just wanted to reach Liangzhou as quickly as possible and give the Ming Dynasty's army a surprise.
As for the food and grass they brought with them, apart from the cattle and sheep, the rest could only last about five days.
It is expected that the army responsible for transporting grain and grass supplies will arrive in Liangzhou at this time in four days!
Or within these four days, they could successfully capture Liangzhou and plunder Liangzhou City and surrounding land, resources, and livestock.
However, now they didn't even fight, and their retreat was blocked by others.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Do you know the consequences of lying about military information?"
The generals all showed expressions of anger and disbelief. The troops transporting grain and grass from the Five Nations Allied Forces were all within the borders of the five countries. They should be absolutely safe. How could they be intercepted?
Who did it?
They looked at me and I looked at you, their faces written all over it for a while.
"It's absolutely true. What the villain said is a lie!"
"Then do you know who robbed our army's food and grass?"
In this ice and snow, if they run out of food and grass, it will kill them. Unless they can capture Liangzhou City within four days, the only thing waiting for them will be freezing and starving to death!
"This has not been identified yet, but it should be a cavalry unit, and judging from their armor style, it seems to be Han Chinese!"
Han Chinese? How is that possible? Are you kidding me?
All the generals couldn't believe what they heard. How could the Han army rob them of their food and grass?
Not to mention, the grain road transporting grain and grass was between their army and Eastern Chagatai. If the Ming army wanted to rob grain and grass, they had to cross them. And with such a large-scale march, it was impossible for them not to receive news.
Also, what kind of season is winter? There has been heavy snowfall all around Liangzhou, and the entire ground is already white. If you want to accurately find the location of the army transporting grain and grass, it is even colder than winter.
What kind of joke are you trying to find an army with only a few hundred people in a land that covers an area of millions of miles?
Is it possible that their army transporting grain and grass shines like the sun and can be accurately found thousands of miles away?
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"After we decided to go to war with the Ming Dynasty, our inn has strengthened the defense of the border and strictly inspected the people coming and going. It is impossible not to detect information about them!"
If an army really left the Ming Dynasty's border, it was impossible for them not to receive the news!
"Unless our border soldiers are all blind, there is no way such a cavalry can't be spotted!"
The army of one country blatantly entered the border of another country, but there was no difference in this country at all. You only know it after the other country robbed the land!
Are you kidding me?
"Check, find out for me who is robbing our food and grass!"
The generals present at this time would rather believe that it was their own people who robbed this group of food and grass than the Ming army.
If this is really what the Ming army did, it proves that they have the ability to be implanted for a long time. Their cavalry can cross their defense lines at any time and approach their important cities and capitals!
This is quite a scary thing!
Being disturbed like this, half of the morale was lost before the battle even started.
"Yes, I will resign, villain!"
In the entire camp, there was no longer any joy and joy as before.
"What are you guys doing? Get out of here!"
After hearing these words, the musicians and dancers rushed out of the tent as if they had been granted amnesty.
"Everyone, everyone understands the current situation, and we have no way out!"
Once their food and grass were cut off, they were in a dead end!
"What's the big deal? Just capture Liangzhou City and eat their food and drink their food!"
"Yes, we will surely capture Liangzhou City tomorrow!"
