Tian Suanzi led the most elite cavalry of the Xiongnu, and with the information provided to him by Tianjizong, he frantically harassed the logistics supply line of Honghua City.
One after another, the grain detaining teams were all wiped out.
Cart after cart of grain and grass were burned on the spot.
"Master Tian Suanzi is really clever, we can ambush the enemy every time."
"It's such a fun fight!"
The Huns cavalry kept complimenting Tian Suanzi. If they could transport the seized grain and grass back to the Huns this time, each of them would be able to buy a lot of cattle and sheep, so that they could have more women.
Tian Suanzi waved his hand with a smile, he didn't take it seriously, the reason why he was able to calculate so cleverly was really inseparable from the strong support of Tianji Sect.
Tianjizong sent all the disciples down the mountain, followed Dazhou's grain transportation team along the way, and then passed the letter with the unique flying crane of Tianjizong.
In this way, if you still can't handle Dazhou's logistics supply line.
Then their Tianji Sect should simply be removed from this side of the world.
"Let's go, continue to kill until there is no food pressure team in Dazhou!"
After Tian Suanzi burned the corpses of the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he led the army out again.
………………
"Report--"
In the Great Zhou Palace, a very sharp eunuch's voice suddenly came.
This is the great eunuch next to the eldest son Universe, and the eldest son Universe shuddered when he heard his eunuch's voice so shrill.
It's not good news at first glance.
But he immediately called the eunuch into the hall of worship.
"Tell me what's going on?"
The elder brother Universe couldn't wait to know, he directly grabbed the eunuch by the collar and pulled him up from the ground
And the three priests on the side narrowed their lowered eyes slightly, obviously at this time he really didn't want to make any mistakes.
The eunuch's face became extremely ugly, and he stammered:
"Your Majesty is not well. Something has happened. The grain pressing team we went to Honghua City to transport grain is basically dead, and there is no news of our return."
When the eunuch said this, he was also terrified. Of course, he knew how much it would affect the soldiers in front if there was a problem with the grain pressing team.
"What!? Didn't one come back? Are you sure?"
Universe also felt that the head was hit hard by the wooden stick, and his whole head was in a daze.
As the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first.
If there is even a problem with food and grass, how can the soldiers in front fight?
Hungry will starve to death!
The big son-in-law almost roared and questioned the eunuch next to him.
The eunuch was also trembling all over, and immediately reported all the information he got to the eldest son.
"It's true that none of them came back, and there was no feedback from Honghua City. The general in charge of food and grass dispatch is now urging, can we go and check."
The big bastard sat down on the ground, so there is basically no need to check, there must be something wrong.
"Three offerings, what should we do now?"
The eldest son-in-law pinned his last hope on the royal family priest.
The three offerings also had cold sweat on their faces.
With a wave of his hand, he immediately summoned Fourteen to enshrine Eunuch Huang, and ordered him: "Go and find out what's going on."
obey!
Fourteen offerings immediately left the palace.
He moved very fast, and followed the route of the grain escort team to check one by one, but wherever he went, he would find the scene where the grain escort team was destroyed.
Tian Suanzi and the others did not intend to cover up these traces at all.
They can't hide it either.
When the Fourteenth Priest found out that the entire food escort team had been wiped out, his heart sank a little, and finally he suddenly discovered that all the food escort teams sent by Dazhou to Honghua City had been killed.
Seven days later, the fourteenth priest rushed back to the Great Zhou Palace in a hurry.
As soon as he entered the door, he reported with an ugly face: "Something happened to our ancestors. Our food pressing team was really killed, and the food and grass were burned."
what! ?
The third priest jumped up directly from the ground, unable to maintain his calm state any longer.
Even though he was already a strong person like a Grandmaster, hearing this kind of news, he also felt his blood surging, almost Qi Deviation.
"how so?
"Did you find out who did it?"
The killing intent in the eyes of the three priests boiled. If there was a big problem in this battle and the Great Zhou royal family was destroyed, then their priests of the Great Zhou royal family would also be wiped out by other sects.
As the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier.
When a new dynasty is born, people will choose a new Sect to cooperate with.
And when the time comes, they will be the targets of various Sects to encircle and suppress.
three offerings
A little bit of self-confidence can survive under the siege of so many Sect.
So at this moment, I am very concerned about the battle ahead.
The eldest son of Universe also looked at the fourteenth priest with a blank expression. In fact, he had already lost his mind, so what if he knew who did it?
Da Zhou was no longer able to allocate the second batch of grain and grass to Honghua City.
Even if they were transferred from other prefectures and counties in Dazhou, it would take too much time to transfer them to Honghua City, and Yang Wudi would have run out of food for a long time.
This is a dead end!
The Fourteenth Priest said with an ugly face, "It was the Huns cavalry."
impossible!
At this moment, the big brother jumped up to object, because he thought it was too incredible. How could the Xiongnu break through the defense line of Honghua City and ran to the rear to plunder our logistics?
Could it be that Yang Wudi let them in on purpose?
Brother-in-law, do you remember that Pan Hu of the Pan family once cooperated with the Huns and put them behind Honghua City, wanting them to ambush Bai Qi.
Such a situation will only occur if one of his own people deliberately releases water.
He absolutely does not believe that the Huns can descend from the sky with Divine Armament.
The third priest looked at the fourteenth priest coldly, wanting to know what he thinks about this matter, after all, it was the fourteenth priest who conducted the on-site investigation.
The Fourteenth Priest sighed and said, "I saw a hill cut off by a sword, and there is a small path in it that can cross the defense line of Honghua City."
"And this road seems to have just been opened not long ago."
Damn it!
The face of the three priests changed drastically.
"Sect is involved! And it's a big Sect!"
"The one who can break a mountain with one sword must be a strong person above Grand Great Master, even I can't do it."
The third priest smashed the chair beside him with one blow, his eyes were full of anger. "
"This is because some Sect wants to unite with the Huns to destroy my Great Zhou."
"Check it out for me. If we know which Sect it is, we will immediately go and suppress them!"
The three priests jump straight, although he can't participate in the dynasty's hegemony, but he can clean up the sect. To know which sect defected to the enemy and treason, pen fun library
The three priests must take them up and down, and kill all the old and young.
The fourteenth priest immediately took the cupped hands and went to investigate.
But these things are completely unimportant to the elder Universe, he slumped on the chair like a puddle of mud, and his whole body lost all energy.
Mouth sticky all the time: "It's over, it's over!"
"Once Honghua City is destroyed, the Xiongnu can drive straight in, and they will definitely hit the Imperial City."
"Three offerings, should we think about where we should flee to!"
The Big Brothers now want to pave the way directly, or else they will flee overseas?
But as soon as he finished speaking, the three priests slapped the big ass off, and cursed angrily: "Idiot! Where can you escape to?"
"The king of subjugation has only one way to die. No one will let you leave. Even if you escape to the cape of Tianya, someone will chase you to death."
The three offerings really hate it.
But at this moment, the eldest son of Universe didn't have any intention of resisting, and said in pain: "Then what else? Who can turn the tide?"
The third priest looked towards the north faintly, and a person's name appeared in his mind, Bai Qi!
Hope this time he can create a miracle.
………………
The situation in Honghua City is even more critical at this moment.
The war strategy adopted by Yang Wudi is defense.
This is what he discussed with Bai Qi before. He is responsible for defending the main force of the Xiongnu's attack and holding back the Xiongnu, so that Bai Qi can implement his own plan.
However, more than 10 days have passed, but the grain and grass he requested from the court has not been delivered.
The grain and grass in Honghua City are drying up at a terrifying speed.
After all, there is an army of 190,000, more war horses, and residents of the whole city.
The food consumed every day is an astronomical figure.
You know, Honghua City is like a city, it has no production capacity, at most it can only grow vegetables.
The place where Honghua City is located is also a place of bitter cold, with high mountains and dangerous roads, so it is not suitable for growing crops at all.
Most of the residents here come to do business, and then there are some military families, and the rest are some criminals who were exiled here.
There is no food at all here.
"Quartermaster!"
Yang Wudi directly waved and called the quartermaster,
"Isn't the food from the imperial court here yet?"
When Yang Wudi was questioning, he even cleared out all the soldiers around him, for fear of leaking information.
The quartermaster was also anxious to get angry, blisters formed on his mouth, he was in pain
He shook his head bitterly, then sighed:
"No news!"
"Marshal, do you think the imperial court will severely deduct our food and grass?"
It's not just the quartermaster who thinks so. In the past, the imperial court would deduct their rations harshly every time. This was all done by civil servants and elder sons.
The purpose is to prevent the frontier generals like Yang Wudi from living too well and supporting their own self-respect.
In order to make up for the military pay of the soldiers, Yang Wudi would go deep into the grassland to fight the Xiongnu every time to make war fortune.
Of course, he will also tax businessmen who go to the Huns to do business.
Only in this way can we not default on the payment of soldiers and soldiers.
But Yang Wudi shook his head at this moment: "The big brother is not so stupid, even if the big universe is so stupid, it is impossible for the officials to be so stupid."
"Now that the food and grass of the soldiers are being severely withheld, it will lead to the subjugation of the country!"
This is not in an era of peace. This is because the Xiongnu have launched a full-scale attack, and now they are still engaging in civil and military checks and balances. It is simply brain-dead.
Moreover, Yang Wudi also believed that there were many smart people in the imperial court.
The quartermaster is feeling even more uncomfortable now. Compared with the imperial court's harsh deductions on their rations, his next guess makes him even more terrified.
"Marshal, will our logistics supply line be cut off?"
When he said this, he felt his heart beating unsatisfactorily.
Yang Wudi's expression changed drastically. He also thought of this possibility, but he never dared to believe it. After all, the consequences were too terrible.
"You send someone to investigate, I want exact information!"
There is still a trace of luck in Yang Wudi's heart.
What if the person who transported the grain neglected his duty and came late?
But what the quartermaster said next completely dispelled Yang Wudi's thoughts.
"The last general has sent people to investigate, but everyone who went there is dead."
what! ?
Yang Wudi was shocked in his heart.
The person sent to investigate the information was killed, and all the problems have been explained.
"Our logistics line is really cut off by others!"
Yang Wudi slammed his fist on the city wall, his hand was bleeding, but he didn't feel the slightest pain. At this moment, a big fire bubble directly appeared on Yang Wudi's mouth.
He looked at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who were born and died with him, and then at the hundreds of thousands of residents he wanted to protect,
Then he looked at the land of Dazhou behind him, and he felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
But he can't do anything now.
"How long can our food last?"
Yang Wudi looked at the quartermaster.
"Three days!
The quartermaster reported a figure.
As soon as this number came out, Yang Wudi swayed and almost fell over.
It is only enough to eat for three days, and the food will be cut off after three days. Once the army runs out of food, a mutiny may be triggered.
Even if there is no mutiny, the residents of the city are still a big problem. These people will definitely panic and fear if they have no food to eat.
At that time, the whole Honghua City will be in chaos.
"Pass me an order to order the army to halve the food and grass when they eat!"
"It's a day if it can be delayed."
Yang Wuji finally issued this order, there is no other way.
"General, why don't we go out of the city to fight?"
"Fight to the death with the Huns!"
"Maybe we still have a chance."
The quartermaster swallowed his saliva, and finally felt that it would be better to fight like this and wait for the food and grass to run out.
"Nonsense!"
Yang Wudi scolded, at this time, he ran out to fight the Xiongnu, can he win?
"Hundreds of thousands versus 500,000. They are all cavalry. Are you sure you can wipe out the enemy in one battle?"
"The most fearful thing is that others will not fight with you!"
"Once you launch a surprise attack with the whole army, others will run away, and your food and grass will be consumed faster."
What Yang Wudi said made the quartermaster lose his temper completely. If their logistics supply line was really cut off by the Huns, would the Huns fight them head-on?
They are all Qing Yishui's cavalry, and they can fight you in a tug-of-war. When you come to fight, they will run away, and when you want to run back to the city, they will chase after you.
Anyway, it sticks to you like brown sugar.
"Then we're just waiting to die?
The quartermaster also felt a burst of despair, unable to fight and unable to defend, and there was no food and grass.
Either way, it's a dead end.
Could it be that they are going to be finished, and Da Zhou is going to be wiped out?
"It depends on whether Bai Qi's plan is feasible."
Yang Wudi sighed leisurely.
"Bai Qi, can he do it? What's the use of harassing the rear? If the Huns don't withdraw their troops, even if he slaughtered the nobles of the Huns, it won't help!"
The quartermaster didn't like it at all.
