Dragon Clan, Lu Mingfei who repeatedly returns from the game

Although Beiguo City is not big, it is spacious enough for these soldiers.

However, at this moment they could only stay crowded in the barracks, as if they were imprisoned.

And those once majestic officers had disappeared, which instantly caused the morale of the Zhao army to drop to the bottom.

At the same time, Finkel descended on the battlefield like a demon.

He held a spear in his hand and shuttled among the defeated soldiers of the Zhao army like a ghost, causing a bloody storm wherever he went.

With every swing, a Zhao soldier would fall down. The inhuman fighting power was terrifying.

In less than an hour, the situation on the battlefield changed dramatically.

Except for a few Zhao troops who were still resisting stubbornly, most of the soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and chose to surrender to the Qin army.

After clearing out the remaining Zhao troops, Gu Nan and Lu Mingfei began to gather their troops.

Except for leaving two teams of one hundred men to guard the city and wait for the army behind to come and take over the city, all the others had to immediately march eastward along the Yuancun River to prepare for a surprise attack on Guanglang City.

This operation made Gu Nan deeply feel the importance of oil and water supply to the army. She had never thought about this issue before, but now it seems that there is a world of difference between troops with oil and water supply and troops without oil and water supply.

In the Battle of Beiguo City, although the Qin army had the advantage of night attack, it also had an almost one-sided advantage in the street fighting.

Therefore, war cannot be won solely by force and wisdom, but also requires consideration of the influence of various factors.

The supply of food for the soldiers is one of the most crucial factors.

Haven’t you seen that the Ming army in later generations suffered from insufficient pay, low morale, and greatly reduced combat effectiveness?

However, the Qing army, relying on sufficient food and wages and elite equipment, became an invincible force.

At that time, the Ming army not only failed to get enough wages, but could not even solve the basic problem of food and clothing.

How could such an army confront the powerful Qing troops head-on in the wild?

Imagine a long journey of dozens of miles, continuous attack overnight, a fierce battle in the middle, and then continuing the march.

Without a good food supply, even the most elite cavalry units of the Qin Army would have been exhausted and unable to fight again.

When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone on the earth and the eastern sky gradually turned pale, Gu Nan and her subordinates finally arrived at the foot of Guanglang City.

The defense of Guanglang City is extremely strong and cannot be compared with Beiguo City.

This big city has a complete defense system, with all the facilities such as moats, chevaux de frise, trenches, etc. arranged in an orderly manner.

There is also a defense force of a thousand people stationed in the four corners outside the city.

Faced with such a tight defensive deployment, it is almost impossible to launch a sneak attack without anyone noticing.

Unless Gu Nan and Lu Mingfei personally rushed into the city and directly used their invincible skills to wipe out all the Zhao troops.

Otherwise, if their troops collided head-on with the Zhao army, they would suffer heavy casualties.

Therefore, it is better to just cut off the food supply.

The Zhao army in the city lacked cavalry, and their most mobile forces were only the chariots. It was absolutely impossible to capture Gu Nan and others with these things.

But if the Zhao army of Xun clan also came to encircle them, the result would be uncertain.

Although the Zhao army had defensive deployments in various places, Xunshi was after all where the Zhao army commander Lian Po was stationed, and there were nearly 100,000 mobile troops of the Zhao army there.

After bypassing Guanglang City, Gu Nan divided the vanguard into groups of ten and sent out dozens of groups, the farthest of which had already walked more than ten miles.

Even Finkel, Ling and Lu Mingfei were sent out by Gu Nan as scouts.

The reason for being so cautious is that... they have been discovered.

Excluding some troops left to garrison Beiguo and subtracting the wounded and dead soldiers, Gu Nan still had more than 4,000 soldiers left.

A cavalry of this size can only march within a radius of about ten miles around Guanglang City. If the Zhao army did not hear any movement, then they must be deaf.

However, the god of luck always seems to favor the Qin army.

Shortly after Gu Nan sent out the scouts, an exciting news came - they discovered a grain transport team of the Zhao army.

This grain transport team was carrying 5,000 shi of grain from Xun City to Guanglang City. In addition to 2,000 laborers, there were also 1,000 guard soldiers escorting the team.

In addition, this grain transport team also had thousands of mules and horses, which was a huge scale.

One stone of grain is equivalent to 120 kilograms in modern times.

If the Qin army could successfully intercept this batch of grain, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Zhao army in Guanglang City.

Once this batch of food supply is lost, the 20,000 Zhao troops in Guanglang City will be out of food within seven days.

You know, the people and horses in the city need to consume a lot of food and fodder every day, and the monthly food and fodder required is as high as more than 20,000 stones.

When Bai Qi leads his army to attack the city, Guanglang City will undoubtedly be destroyed.

Gu Nan made a quick decision to withdraw Lu Mingfei and Finkel, leaving only Ling as the scout leader.

They must intercept this batch of grain immediately because it is less than twenty miles away from Guanglang City.

Gu Nan and his companions were lightly equipped, and the dry food each carried was only enough to last for seven days.

It would be best if we could intercept all the food for this grain team. If that is not possible... I'm sorry, this will never happen.

After all, there are still many vacancies in Lao Lu’s warehouse waiting to be filled.

Five thousand stones is equivalent to about three hundred tons, which can definitely be accommodated!

Gu Nan woke up the troops who had just rested for less than an hour, and quickly formulated a strategy to encircle the grain team.

Her plan was very direct and effective: she personally led a team of a thousand men to attack from the left, Finkel led another team of a thousand men to attack the grain team from the right, and Lu Mingfei was responsible for leading the third team of a thousand men to drive the enemy away from the rear.

The primary goal of this mission is to seize food, not to kill the enemy. At the same time, the food team must be driven back to Guanglang City as much as possible to further increase the enemy's food pressure.

This way, they could not only get more food, but also put the enemy in trouble.

perfect!

After the plan was completed, Gu Nan proudly raised his eyebrows towards Lu Mingfei and Finkel, his eyes full of pride, as if to say, "What do you think? I'm awesome, right?"

He looked like an elementary school student waiting for compliments and praise from others, indicating that warm applause should be given at this moment to celebrate the birth of this great plan.

However, Lu Mingfei did not buy it. He ignored Gu Nan's hint and just rolled his eyes at her in disdain.

But Finkel on the side was completely different. Since he became Gu Nan's deputy general, he has been around Gu Nan like a loyal lackey all day long, serving her wholeheartedly. People who don't know him might really think that he is a servant of some family possessed by a ghost.

At this moment, Finkel accurately interpreted the meaning of Gu Nan's eyes, and immediately understood what he meant. He began to flatter him crazily without hesitation.

He had a flattering smile on his face, his mouth was as sweet as honey, and he praised Gu Nan's plan highly.
