Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth military colony
After all, Li Xingchen is still a minister of Nanchen in name. Even if this name is very shallow, at least Li Xingchen still needs this name, so naturally he can't do anything too outrageous.
In this context where everyone's common enemy was still the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Xingchen still had some ideas in his mind about what should be done and what should not be done.
More importantly, the idea of a tiger father and no dog sons is not suitable for anyone. Of course, Li Xingchen does not know whether Hou Mi is a general like Hou Andu. Naturally, it is impossible to directly assign the task of leading a general.
Give it to him.
Of course, Secretary Hou also knows what Li Xingchen is thinking, so he needs a battle to prove himself, and the Hou family also needs someone who can achieve more achievements to prove that the Hou family is still the first-class general family in the world.
This attack on Chencang was Xiao Shilian's opportunity for Hou Mi, and it was also a test for him.
The abandoned Chencang City has now been turned into a small military camp in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, but the area under the jurisdiction of this military camp is not small. The entire millet at the foot of Qi Mountain is within the jurisdiction of this military camp. During the Northern Zhou Dynasty's war against the northwest Turks,
The prisoners captured in the war will be gathered here to reclaim the fertile land from Tianshui in Longxi to Qishan.
The target of Secretary Hou is Chencang City, or the large amount of grain and grass stored in Chencang City. When there was no war between Bashu and Bashu, the grain and grass would gather here and then be transferred to Guanzhong and Hanzhong respectively. But now Hanzhong has suddenly fallen, and most of it
There was no time to transship the grain and grass. In addition, the situation in Guanzhong was chaotic and was not suitable for the transshipment of grain and grass. Of course, the Guanlong local group headed by Anding Niu was behind the scenes, so all the grain and grass ended up piled in Chencang City.
Of course, these grains are still the millet and wheat harvested in the summer from the previous year, and this year's millet has not yet reached the harvest season. If these grains are collected, they will be enough to support Xiao Shilian's army for two years. But if it falls into the hands of the Yangping Pass defenders, then
Han Qinhu might even wake up laughing.
The mission of Secretary Hou is to break through the Chencang military camp and transport the food and grass in the city as much as possible, and burn what cannot be taken away, so that nothing can be left to the Northern Zhou army. This is what Xiao Shilian planned
As a tactic, he wanted to use a tactic to completely cut off the supply of food and grass at Yangping Pass, leaving Han Qinhu with no capital to defend Yangping Pass.
According to the information from the scouts and the Guanlong family, all the food and grass in Yangping Pass had been mobilized northward by Wei Xiaokuan, leaving Han Qinhu with not much.
The Chencang military camp in front of him is Han Qinhu's biggest support.
Neither Hou Mi nor Xiao Shilian expected that Han Qinhu would be completely defenseless here. Therefore, Hou Mi only had 300 brave elites and 200 soldiers who were forward sentry under his command, while Xiao Shilian was attacking fiercely these days.
The purpose of Yangping Pass was naturally to attract Han Qinhu's attention, so that Han Qinhu still thought that Xiao Shilian wanted to capture Yangping Pass in this way.
Among the weeds, Hou Mi stared at the Chencang Military Village in front of him. The dilapidated city walls showed that this place was no longer the grand pass it once was, and the desolate grass under his feet also showed that no one had walked on the once famous Chencang Road for too long.
Maybe even the people in the military camp don't remember that there is a road leading directly to Hanzhong.
From Liu Bang and Han Xin to Zhuge Liang and Hao Zhao, famous generals and ministers came in a hurry on this road. At this time, Hou Mi was standing on the road they had walked, looking at the place where they had fought fiercely.
I don’t know what is waiting for me there?
"General, the enemy's grain and fodder convoy is coming." A scout walked through the narrow road in three steps and got into the grass where Hou Mi was hiding. "They are all empty. They should be coming from Yangping Pass."
Yes, at least the direction is correct."
Hou Mi immediately clenched his fists and could not wait any longer. Once the food was transported away, the defenders at Yangping Pass would be able to get enough support, so there would be no point in attacking the Chencang military camp.
"According to the plan, attack!" Hou Mi ordered in a low voice, and the soldiers who had already been unable to restrain themselves immediately dispersed in all directions.
The eyes of several veterans of the Hou family are also shining. Most of them are veterans who followed Hou Andu in the war. This time they follow the young master, naturally hoping to take this opportunity to revive the lintel of the Hou family. Now.
This battle that may decide everything is about to begin, so how can they not be excited?
Apparently Hou Mi also noticed their expressions, and immediately whispered: "I will win this battle, please help me, uncles!"
"Don't worry, young master, we will fight to the death!"
————————————-
It is getting late and the sun is setting in the west.
The convoy from Yangping Pass moved slowly towards Chencang City. The captains and generals leading the team looked at the somewhat dilapidated city in front of them, but they all showed relaxed expressions. After marching in the wilderness for so long, they could only see the city.
It's enough to make them feel at ease.
Several generals who had tense faces at first were interested in chatting and laughing in low voices at this time. Although Chencang Juntun was dilapidated, it was the only available place for grain and grass transshipment south of Tianshui and north of Yangpingguan. People came and went in a hurry.
The convoys and the reclamation soldiers gave this place a kind of prosperity amidst chaos and dilapidation.
Wine, meat and women are always the topics that men discuss during breaks. The expressions on the faces of several generals soon turned evil, and they exchanged looks that all men know how to look at. The leader of the team watched all this.
In his eyes, he didn't say anything. He was already tired from the long journey. In addition, this army had just replaced Yangpingguan City. What they needed most was rest and relaxation. Obviously Han Qinhu also had this intention.
, so the leader will not stop his subordinates at all.
Judging from the expressions on these guys' faces, it's obvious that they will be brothers-in-law again today, but I don't know which one will be unlucky.
Just when the battle leader was beginning to think about today's warm bedding, a roar suddenly interrupted his beautiful thoughts.
The arrows roared into the chest of a soldier. The generals who were chatting and laughing in low voices raised their heads in surprise. More arrows shot out from the grass on both sides of the road like locusts, one after another.
Soldiers on horseback, carts and other high places were caught off guard and fell off their horses one after another.
"Kill!" A roar like thunder on the ground suddenly woke up all the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
"Enemy attack!" The battle leader turned over and dismounted. He knew very well that the enemy's first target must be on horseback, and at this time, the battle master didn't even know where the enemy came from.
Several generals rolled down from their horses and scrambled to recruit the team. Unfortunately, the entire convoy had already dispersed as it was about to reach its destination. In addition, the enemy's arrows were coming at a rapid pace. Who could do it at this time?
Are you still in the mood to listen to your boss’s shouting?
