The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 68 It's Time
"Makes sense."

Cao Bao was thoughtful, "But if this goes on, it's not a problem. The spirit of the soldiers will be worn down alive. Every time there is an enemy attack, the soldiers will get up, and the combat power will not be enough at that time."

"It doesn't matter, let's see if they are bluffing or not. This method is initially effective, but after a long time, it becomes ineffective."

Cao Bao nodded: "Okay, that's up to you."

This side has also decided on a countermeasure, so as not to change, they originally wanted to rest for a few days and attack the city directly, but with such a move, they guessed that Mi County might send troops.

Cao Bao and others sent people to watch Mi County for days, but Mi County still had no intention of opening the city gate. Even during the war, the city gate was not opened except for the transportation of supplies.

It began to rain heavily in the sky, and the rain fell from the dark sky.

After resting for the whole morning, Wang Xuan, when he woke up, the rain had almost stopped. He did not choose to take the cavalry back, but gathered the cavalry again, and headed towards the east of Linchuan County, which is under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Kingdom of Heaven. Land of four counties.

Wang Xuan and this group of cavalrymen have changed their appearances, dressed as horse thieves, and went deep into the hinterland of the supreme heaven.

When he got near Xin County, Wang Xuan directly sent people to start investigating.

"Commander, we found a food and grass team not far ahead."

Wang Xuan's eyes lit up: "How many people?"

"Less than a hundred people."

"Okay, get ready to plunder."

Wang Xuan and others drew their weapons and went straight to the food and grass team.

The war has lasted for more than ten days. Except for the tragic war at the beginning, the following time was directly deadlocked. Although the stalemate was deadlocked, the loss of food did not stop at all. Transport food to the front line.

Previously, Che Zhou and others had also set their sights on the grain road in the rear of the New Kingdom. However, due to the lack of cavalry, Mi County sent troops to assist at any time, so the operation to plunder grain and grass failed completely.

There is a group of common people on the official road, using donkey carts to transport food, a total of more than [-] donkey carts, transporting it towards Tuan County, and hundreds of soldiers are escorting it.

At this time, the road vibrated, and more than 500 horse thieves came straight here from not far away.

"kill!"

Those soldiers panicked at once, but Wang Xuan led the crowd to rush forward without hesitation, and the Sun Moon Knife in his hand slashed straight ahead!

A powerful and heavy blow killed the soldier immediately.

The cavalry roared towards them, and the soldiers reacted and shouted at the top of their voices: "Form the formation, form the formation!"

It was useless. The rest of the Shanzi Army's cavalry also rushed over and passed each other, killing one person directly with the weapons in their hands.

The donkeys were also frightened and wanted to run away in panic. The ordinary people were so frightened that they held their reins and squatted on the spot without moving. The soldiers stood there shivering, and the blood spurting out from their comrades next to them was still stained on them. on the face.

Swish!
The cavalry of the Shanzi Army turned back, Wang Xuan was still in the lead, and went straight to a soldier in the smoke and dust.

The soldier roared and thrust the weapon in his hand forward, but as Wang Xuan's sun and moon sword slashed down, the weapon was cut off directly.

"kill!"

The cavalry of the Shanzi Army directly beheaded this group of escort soldiers. Although one soldier was directly stabbed to death during the period, the overall loss was not large.

Soon, the soldiers of this food delivery team disappeared.

"Commander, what should we do?"

Wang Xuan looked at the dozens of carts of food and said directly: "Burn them all."

"Yes."

Not long after, the grain truck burst into flames, and the remaining people of the Supreme Heaven were trembling with fear.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Those people were full of fear and uneasiness.

"Commander, these people..."

Wang Xuan glanced at these people: "Let them go."

This time, he received two tasks from Tian Dan, one was to harass the Supreme Heavenly Army camp every day, and the other was to go deep into the hinterland to plunder food and grass.

It was all finished soon, and there were only burning grain trucks left on the official road. Not long after, officers and soldiers from Xin County rushed over, and all they saw were residues.

The looting of food and grass was still going on. Wang Xuan handed over the task of harassing the camp to another person. After all, the task of harassing the camp was simple. He took the remaining soldiers of the Shanzi Army and frantically searched for transportation. Forage soldiers.

Within the camp.

King Chu Bawang, Che Zhou and others also received the news that the food and grass had been plundered, and their faces suddenly turned dark.

"How did they do it?"

King Chu looked at Che Zhou and the others.

"Your Majesty, it has been checked, and the opponent has cavalry in his hand."

Chu Overlord clenched his fists: "Cavalry, where did the opponent get cavalry? I don't have cavalry in ten thousand soldiers, and he actually has cavalry?"

He was a little irritated. It was damning that he couldn't defeat the New Kingdom even though there was only one legion.

Che Zhou said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, just wait a little longer, the new country will soon be unable to bear the temptation to send troops."

Even so, Che Zhou and Cao Bao also knew that the current situation was a little critical.

There is still no movement in Mi County, except for the livestock, grain and other supplies sent to Mi County, there is no other news.

"I can't wait any longer. It's been more than ten days and we still haven't won? Is this war so difficult to end?"

He also noticed that this war seemed to have turned into a quagmire. If this stalemate continued, before the Xin Kingdom continued to fight, the economy of his Supreme Kingdom would collapse.

Che Zhou took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, wait another seven days, I will believe that Xin Guo will definitely take action, if there is no action within seven days, I will attack the city directly."

"it is good!"

……

Wang Xuan's looting continued.

The raids on the camp continued, even this time intensified, attacking from multiple directions at the same time, and then beating gongs and drums. When the soldiers in the camp woke up, they receded like a tide.

Although more soldiers were deployed to defend the carriages at the beginning, for two consecutive nights, there was heavy thunder and light rain, and these soldiers felt tired.

On the second and third days, it was still the same. Che Zhou waited for four or five days, but there was no extra movement from Xinguo, and the tactics and methods of the camp's harassment did not change.

Che Zhou also had doubts, is this really the only movement in Xinguo?
The soldiers in the camp generally lacked sleep, and they didn't even move when the shouts and gongs sounded from behind. The patrolling soldiers were not as vigilant as before, and they just watched carefully around the camp. , I saw that there was still loud thunder and little rain as always.

The soldiers of the Supreme Heaven in the camp have all developed the habit of falling asleep to the sound of gongs at this moment.

By the next day, many soldiers were in better spirits. After all, they didn't have to get up at night again.

At the same time, Tian Dan stood on the city wall and watched what was going on at the camp, holding his sword in his hand and thinking in his mind: "The time has come."
