An officer with the rank of captain hurriedly ran outside Zong Zheng's big tent. The noise made Zong Zheng a little unhappy. His subordinates were not stable at all and were completely unworthy of his immovable character.
.
"What's the matter?"
Zong Zhengxian sat firmly in his position, his face slightly gloomy.
I don’t know why, but big shots always like to have a gloomy face. They probably think that they are more dignified and will make others more afraid.
So much so that the petty officials below learn this very quickly even if they don't learn anything else. Even a petty official with a big butt can make a big show of his skills in front of the people.
There was a sneak attack by Jade Man last night. Some of the fodder was burned. There were some casualties but not too much. Even the cattle and sheep were dispersed a lot, but they were recovered one after another.
Of course there were losses, but Zong Zhengxian felt that these losses were nothing compared to the fact that the enemy had exposed a cavalry outside the city.
The enemy's surprise attack really caught the Loufan camp by surprise. Before that, the scouts had not discovered that there were Jade Cavalry outside Yunzhou City.
Now the losses in the camp are negligible in Zongzheng Xianhe's opinion, but the jade man's exposure of the cavalry is a huge gain for Lou Fan.
This cavalry is well-trained and well-trained in advance and retreat. It is obviously the elite of the Jade Army. It is exposed in this way, but the Jade Man is still because he has occupied the three melons.
The two jujubes are cheap and I am proud of them.
As the head coach, Zong Zheng has to sit firmly in the central military tent. He has to behave calmly so that the people below him will feel at ease.
"What's up?"
Zong Zhengxian looked at the panicked captain and asked, not only his face was gloomy, but his tone was also gloomy.
Only in this way can he appear stable.
"Your Highness, after the Jade Cavalry's sneak attack last night, a lot of cattle and sheep were scattered. Now most of them have been recovered. However, after this morning, these cattle and sheep suddenly became sick and became limp. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
Zong Zhengxian was slightly startled.
"What's the meaning?"
"They were probably Jade Man's cavalry, pretending to attack the barracks, but in reality they were putting some messy laxatives in the fodder and the troughs used to feed the animals."
"Have you seen the army veterinarian?"
"I saw it, but the army doesn't have that much medicine. I guess a lot of cattle and sheep will die."
When Lou Fan went south, the biggest food supplement was cattle and sheep. Now a large number of cattle and sheep are almost burping...
"The purpose of exposing an elite cavalry team is to drug our cattle and sheep?"
Zong Zheng's face looked slightly sad.
Although it sounds outrageous, even childish, it is really uncomfortable. If cattle and sheep die in large numbers, it will be a big blow to the millions of Loufan troops.
The Dongbo people now have strong walls and clear fields, and everyone and food are concentrated in those cities. The most annoying thing is that after Yuren took over Caoshu City, the Dongbo people south of Caoshu City were not allowed to grow food.
.
The defenders of the Jade Kingdom in Caoshu City relied on the Jade Kingdom's continuous transportation of grain and grass supplies, while the Dongbo people south of Caoshu City basically gave up their fertile land except for raising necessary cattle and sheep.
Could it be said that the beauty has been preparing for today's battle since that time?
Once Lou Fan's army attacks outside Yunzhou City, they will face a situation where there is no fertile farmland in a land thousands of miles away.
"Send someone to check immediately and see how much can be saved."
Zong Zhengxian waved his hand, signaling the captain who reported the news to get out, and then added: "This matter must not be leaked. If it spreads among the army, I will kill you!"
The captain trembled in fright and thought to himself, isn't it too late...
"The beauty has evil intentions."
A staff member said with a serious face: "If the cattle and sheep really die in large numbers, then within half a month, our food and grass will be stretched thin."
Another aide said: "Soon, a large number of Dongbo people will be driven to build ramps. With more and more people, the consumption of food and grass will also increase. Although those Dongbo people were all arrested
We are here to die, but we can’t all die in one day..."
"There are also peasant husbands and slaves."
Another person said: "We have an army of millions and 670,000 civilians and slaves. They consume a lot of money."
"If we start saving food rations now and reduce supplies every day, I'm afraid people will soon be in panic."
Their chatter made Zongzheng Xianhe more and more irritable.
"besides."
Another prince, Zongzheng Lianhua, said: "We must find the beautiful cavalry as soon as possible. The first batch of supplies of food and grass should already be halfway there. If we are harassed by that cavalry and lose supplies, the morale of the army will be even lower.
"
Zong Zhengxian nodded when he heard this, suppressing his irritability and said: "We have more powerful cavalry, so we don't need to take the small number of jade cavalry too seriously. We have selected two generals who are good at fighting.
, each with 20,000 fine cavalry to search, and when they find the jade cavalry, they will destroy it."
"It shouldn't be underestimated."
Zongzheng Lianhua said: "I heard that there is a general named Xumi Jinghong among the jade men. He is best at leading cavalry raids. He has a bad reputation in the Western Regions. If this person leads troops, be careful."
Zong Zhengxian said: "Then increase the number of troops and send three teams, one with 20,000 cavalry. The three armies will respond and investigate carefully. After discovering the Jade Cavalry, do not attack alone. The three armies will cooperate to destroy it."
The dispatching of 60,000 elite cavalrymen is a big deal and cannot be done casually.
Zongzheng Xianhe did not dare to have any more accidents. If these 60,000 people could not successfully destroy the beautiful cavalry, it would be a greater blow to the morale of Lou Fan's army.
"lotus."
Zongzheng Xianhe ordered: "You can lead the troops yourself. You, the general, will select a few capable generals. You must find the Jade Cavalry within ten days and destroy him!"
Zongzheng Lianhua stood up and said: "I am willing to accept the order!"
Zongzheng Lianhua was of course happy to get this job. It would be much better to take his elite cavalry to search for the beautiful cavalry than to waste his elite cavalry on attacking the city.
"How many trucks have been built?"
"There are more than sixty of them, which is enough to attack the city."
"Well."
Zong Zhengxian stood up and said: "Lianhua leads the troops to clean up the Jade Cavalry. You and I will start attacking the city tomorrow!"
Yunzhou City.
On the city wall, two soldiers were sitting and resting. One of them lowered his voice and said, "Did you hear that a voyeur appeared in the city recently?"
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines and over 100 sounds. It is also a source-changing artifact that supports offline reading. Source-changing app]
Another soldier nodded: "I heard about it. It is said that they started running around in the city at the darkest time before dawn, specializing in wearing helmets for strong men to go to the toilet. Now they say they appear after midnight, which is even more perverted."
The soldier nodded: "We must be more careful. We men must protect ourselves when we go out these days."
"Yes, yes, it's so perverted!"
"The grandson is quite good at choosing places. You know there are many men in Yunzhou City now..."
"Fuck, if you put it like that, isn't Yunzhou City a paradise for that pervert? Men are all men!"
"Yes, no wonder he suddenly appeared in Yunzhou City. It turned out to be because of this."
"You and I are both strong and beautiful men, but we have to be careful."
"right!"
Lin Ye's mouth twitched slightly as he passed by them, pretending not to hear anything.
The fact that things have developed to this point is definitely not what he expected.
In order to exert the greater power of the Quicksand Armor and the Tianque Heavy Sword, you have to practice. Who would have thought that through practicing, you can become a voyeur... What a bad luck.
You don’t even think about it, a group of rough guys, what’s there to peep at? No matter how strong and beautiful you are, how can I be more beautiful?
Arriving at the archery tower on the city wall, Lin Ye raised his clairvoyance to observe the enemy's situation.
Ning Haitang, who had arrived earlier, watched with clairvoyance and said after a moment: "About that pervert..."
Lin Ye: "Don't worry, it probably won't happen in the near future."
Ning Haitang: "Caught?"
Lin Ye: "My people saw him and scared him away."
Ning Haitang said: "People in the army are panicked."
Lin Ye: "Is it the same on your side?"
Ning Haitang: "My side... the female soldiers are fine. The male soldiers have some comments, and some even say they are perverts from our female military camp."
Lin Ye nodded: "It makes sense."
After saying these three words, he felt a sharp sword-like gaze coming over him. Lin Ye quickly shut up and pretended to observe the enemy's situation carefully.
He changed the topic and said: "Seeing that the Loufan people have gathered their trucks in front of the army, they are expected to launch a fierce attack tomorrow."
Ning Haitang nodded: "I guess so, they will attack tomorrow."
She looked at Lin Ye and asked, "Have you got any countermeasures?"
Lin Ye said: "The wood they used to build the carts is old wood, which is dry and flammable and can be dealt with by fire. Besides, their idea of using the carts to suppress our archers is too naive."
Ning Haitang said: "I'm not worried about the truck. What I'm worried about is that they will rob a large number of Dongbo people and use them as cannon fodder, regardless of the cost."
They piled up earthwork outside the city."
Lin Ye said: "I'm thinking about this too."
Ning Haitang said: "If they really do this, we will have to take action against those Dongbo people."
Lin Ye said: "The Loufan people are not so easy to succeed. To the south of Caoshu City, I didn't write to you earlier and told you that people are not allowed to farm for the time being. Yunzhou is rich here, so take more care of them so that they can live.
.”
"So it is impossible for the Loufan people to rely on war to support war within these thousands of miles. As for plundering the people... All counties in Dongbo have strengthened their city defenses. If the Loufan people want to plunder the population, they will have to pay a lot of money.
The cost is a large division of troops and a lot of casualties."
Hearing this, Ning Haitang suddenly realized, was this guy preparing to fight before going to Geling?
If so, this guy must have prepared a back-up plan. Who is this back-up plan? Could it be her eldest brother Ning Shehai?
Thinking back to Lin Ye's previous order to transfer 60,000 elite border troops from Caoshu City, such an unreasonable use of troops was obviously targeted.
These 60,000 elites are now also under the command of eldest brother Ning Shehai. If eldest brother and Lin Ye had colluded, then these 60,000 elites have most likely been transferred to other places.
"What are you hiding?"
Ning Haitang asked Lin Ye.
Lin Ye said: "I'm not hiding anything from you. Even I don't know how your eldest brother will use troops. I pretended to let your eldest brother leave in anger to make it more reasonable for him to go to Dongbo."
"How to fight the battle outside the city? I can't direct it. It's beyond my reach. Your elder brother can fight however he wants."
Having said this, he looked at Ning Haitang and said, "I can only command you for the time being."
Ning Haitang snorted: "Am I that obedient?"
Lin Ye said: "I'm not that obedient. Every time I ask you to come up, you..."
A flying kick.
Lin Ye dodged and avoided.
The soldiers in the distance saw it, and some people sighed with emotion: "The two generals don't seem to be in harmony. They probably don't agree with each other and always want to fight."
"Yes, I heard that the two of them had fought several times."
"Look how fierce General Ning kicked him just now."
"Are you actually avoided by our General Lin, who is so familiar with the road?"
"Why do you use the word familiar?"
"Huh? Just describe it casually."
He hid with ease... Oh, I feel sorry for our general.
