In the end, Dekun decided to follow these human races. Sifang County would definitely not be able to stay. It would be even more inappropriate to rush to the territories of other races. Otherwise, there would be a big war.
Lin Yi asked his soldiers and the pig-headed men to work together to load Sifang City's money and grain into trucks and transport them to the banks of the Huanghe River.
It must be said that Lin Yi was lucky. The ogre clan captured Sifang County and concentrated all the money and food of Sifang County in Sifang City. This also resulted in a large number of idle carts in Sifang City.
Lin Yi was too lazy to load thirty carts of gold coins, one hundred and fifty carts of silver coins, and copper coins. With ten thousand carts of grain, a cart could only carry more than a thousand kilograms of goods at most. Any heavier than that and the cart would collapse.
Ji Yi just made a rough calculation: there are more than 900,000 gold coins, more than 2.2 million silver coins, 150,000 dans of grain, and there are millions of grains stored in the granaries of Sifang City.
Although Shanhe County and Sifang County are neighbors, compared with Sifang County, they can only be regarded as small and poor counties. The number of pig-headed people in Sifang County is as many as 800,000. The total number of orcs in Shanhe County is only more than 300,000.
.
The annual grain tax revenue of Sifang County is as high as three million dan, and the income from selling grain alone is more than 100,000 gold coins a year!
Sifang City is more than a hundred miles away from the shores of the Huanghe River. Lin Yi discovered with discomfort that the transport team could not move faster than twenty miles per hour at its fastest.
It's not that I can't keep up with the physical strength, the people responsible for transportation are knights, the road is difficult to travel, and the cart can easily collapse if it moves forward too fast.
In the end, Lin Yi decided that the captive pig-headed people and the transportation of food must be carried out at the same time. On the other side of Sifang County is the shipyard of the ogre clan. There are many ships. Although they may not be able to transport them all at once, they must first capture the pig-headed people and transport them.
Food was concentrated along the Huanghe River.
There is not much time left for Ji Yi. The ogres will definitely notice that something happened in Sifang County within two or three days at most.
Lin Yi led the Greedy Wolf Army with Sifang City as the center, and robbed pig-headed people everywhere. These pig-headed people were harmed by the ogres, but they were very obedient and basically showed no resistance. The main reason was that Jilin Yi did not harm them.
Since he only had 5,000 troops, Lin Yi did not dare to go too far. He captured a total of 780,000 pig-headed men, including young men, women and children. He collected 26,000 carts and pulled 390,000 loaders from Sifang City.
food.
Looking at the countless grains in the granary, Lin Yi secretly felt pity, because he calculated with his fingers that more than 500,000 tons of grains were only enough to feed 50,000 people for a year. If he robbed 780,000 to 80,000 pig-headed men, the grains would be equal to
They didn't snatch it all.
It was already noon the next day after they robbed the pig-headed men, shipped the grain, and waited for the grain transport team to set off. This time, the people responsible for transporting the grain were ordinary pig-headed men, and the marching speed was less than ten miles an hour.
After all, there are 70,000 to 80,000 ordinary citizens who do not understand military discipline, including women and children.
Not long after Lin Yi set out on the road, Yan Liang returned with the White Tiger Army. The first batch of pig-headed knights had already boarded the ship and set off. According to Lin Yi's instructions, only Ling Tongyi remained.
This can be regarded as a test for these pig-headed men by Ji Yi. Above the barren river, these pig-headed men cannot fly away. Ji Yi intends to place them on the Baili Valley Road.
If these pig-headed people have any intentions, discover them as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future. But if this business goes well, Ji Yi will choose to believe them.
At that time, a group of soldiers will be transferred from the seven to eight thousand pig-headed knights to supplement the navy. The remaining pig-headed knights, together with the seventy-eight thousand pig-headed people, will be placed in Baili Valley Road.
Looking at the slow marching team, Lin Yi asked the White Tiger Army to carry the pig-headed women and children to the bank of the Huanghe River. The original intention was to set off in batches and send the women and children back to Longgu County for resettlement.
Based on the current marching speed, plus resting and eating along the way, it is estimated that it will be around three or four in the middle of the night when we reach the bank of the Huanghe River.
From this moment, Lin Yi realized how difficult ancient wars were. The multi-million-level battle at Huanghe Camp required one hundred thousand dans of grain to be eaten in one day.
This is not a war, it's about logistics. Whichever side is dragged to death will lose, unless one side's strength crushes the other side.
Why is the cavalry so powerful? The cavalry in this world can run at full speed up to a hundred miles in an hour! And a hundred-mile run can only be considered a short-distance run, and it does not affect combat effectiveness!
The durability of the cavalry is as high as three to five hours. It means that they will tire after running for three to five hundred miles continuously, thus affecting their combat effectiveness.
In the evening, the cavalry sent out to inquire about the situation reported that they found no sign of the ogres sending troops to Sifang County in large numbers.
This made Ji Yi feel relieved, at least he didn't have to fight the ogre again.
The first batch of pig-headed people has successfully arrived in Longgu County. In order to facilitate transportation, Ling Tong dispatched all 200 fighting ships. More than 20,000 women and children have all boarded the ships and are on their way to Longgu County.
The remaining 50,000 pig-headed men are young and strong. They have to take turns transporting food, so they can only go in two batches. There are more than a hundred ships stationed in the ogre's shipyard. If you abandon the carts, they should go in two batches.
question.
When Lin Yi's grain transport team arrived along the Huanghe River, it was already five or six in the morning, and it was almost dawn. After all, they overestimated the marching speed, and the speed at night was greatly reduced.
While waiting for the fleet to return, Lin Yi led his people to destroy the ogre's shipyard. Now he can delay it for as long as possible. When winter comes and the river freezes, the ogre will try to threaten Longgu County again.
, I'm afraid they can only come from Beiyuan County.
We have to ask whether the Dowser family agrees.
When Lin Yi and others returned to Huanghe City, it was already noon again. They had been awake for more than thirty hours, and even the Greedy Wolf Cavalry and the White Tiger Cavalry could hardly stand it.
Huanghe City, which covers an area of 6,000 acres, is full of temporary camps of various sizes, with 9,000 horse-headed people and more than 80,000 pig-headed people.
In order to reduce the living pressure in Huanghe City, Lin Yi took the Greedy Wolf Army, the White Tiger Army, and more than 7,000 pig-headed knights to Longgu City to rest and recuperate.
On the way, Lin Yi briefly talked to Dekun, the current leader of the pig-headed tribe, about his plan to capture Baili Valley Road. At the same time, he promised Dekun that if Baili Valley Road was captured, all the pig-headed people would be moved there and the Baili Valley Road would be moved there.
Delivered to Dekun.
Dekun is just a guest of the Ruhr family in Sifang County, which is why he is still alive. None of them, including the remaining four bronze-level pig-headed Chaofan, are members of the Ruhr family.
From a guest of the Marquis family to the patriarch of the Earl family, Dekun was naturally willing and immediately swore allegiance to Lin Yi together with the four bronze-level extraordinarys.
In fact, I was mainly shocked by the powerful defensive buildings in Longgu County, such as Heishan City, Huanghe Defense Line, and Huanghe City.
As a member of Sifang County, Dekun didn't know when the Huanglin Valley, a poor and weak neighbor with only tens of thousands of orcs, became so powerful.
There is no doubt that it must be the work of these human races!
