Chapter 1491 Attack on Food Road

Congratulations to book friends: "In the name of the people" to have a happy son!

Thanks to book friends: "White Fireworks" for their rewards!

...

After the people left, the king chuckled and said, "Wai Si must have complaints, but if we win, he will hide it. If we lose... I heard that the warriors in Yili's house are very powerful, so you can make good arrangements."

Agudamu nodded and said, "Next time I will arrange them in front."

The king said with satisfaction: "Well, there is also the food and grass in the army are tight, so you must find a way to restrain the firearms as soon as possible, and then we will have endless food and endless slaves."

"The Ming people's supplies have been transporting food and grass continuously. I want to try it and see if they can cut off their supplies."

Agudamu was a little depressed: "The Ming people are too rich. They seem to be unable to eat and use all their food, and they even have meat. King. Such opponents must be suppressed in time, otherwise we will be in trouble."

The king smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? The Ming Emperor is old and their prince is weak. Therefore, I ask you that even if you cannot win completely, you cannot be defeated. After the Ming Emperor goes, we will make a comeback again."

Agudamu said with a serious expression: "King, hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, and there is little chance of a draw. If one side loses, the other side will definitely chase them all the way, so we must do our best in this battle."

The king lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, if we win, we must take advantage of the victory and swallow up all the Ming troops before we will stop."

"And the Ming Emperor's idea is probably to completely eliminate the threat from the north, which also means paving the way for his descendants. He is really old!"

The king sighed for a while, and then sneered: "The Emperor Ming tried to make me surrender through intimidation, but he made the wrong idea!"

"I admit that he is indeed a lion, but now this lion is old. When it is old, it should be retired. If you come out to take risks, that is to show off your strength!"

Agudam felt hatred. He knew that the king's character was the most arrogant and could not tolerate anyone's objection.

Zhu Di shocked him with just a few words. This is a great humiliation!

"Wang, I will immediately arrange the raid on the Ming army's food route."

"Go, I'm waiting for your good news."

...

There were many things to do after the war, dealing with remains and wounded people. Meritorious personnel from various departments reported to verify. The garrison with heavy casualties should be supplemented...

And the top priority is supply.

After counting the civilians, adding livestock, the supplies consumed by the army every day were astronomical, so the supply was almost never interrupted.

A book about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a vivid description of the sneak attack on the grain road and the sneak attack on the granary, but this is indeed the case in reality.

The vast convoy stretched for more than ten miles. After coming out of Yehu Ridge, the cavalry on both sides stared at the left vigilantly, and the scout had long been sent out.

The news of the victory of the First Great War had long been spread to Xuanfu, so the villagers were also smiling happily.

If you win again, this battle will be almost done. They can also take the reward home, and they can also brag about witnessing the battle with their wives, children and neighbors.

He headed towards Xinghe Fort. In the afternoon, the convoy stopped, and then the commander Meng Dewei ordered a rest.

"Place the cart outside, circle it, and use it to circle the camp where we rest!"

Meng Dewei shouted loudly, and the soldiers also went to command the civilians. Slowly, a car array formed with a large cart appeared.

"Have the scout returned?"

Meng Dewei asked with a frown.

"Sir, not yet."

"What's going on?!"

Meng Dewei got angry: "The Halie people are only a few dozen miles away from here. If there is a surprise attack, Xinghe Fort will definitely not have time to support him. Where can we go with these supplies? Send someone to see."

A team of cavalrymen came out of the formation and quickly disappeared in the sunset.

"It doesn't feel right!"

Meng Dewei always felt that this was a bit strange.

"Sir, the scouts set out from the front and back. The officials thought that they had not arrived at this time, and they were afraid they would encounter an enemy..."

An official from Thousand Houses said uneasy, and the generals next to him nodded.

Meng Dewei gritted his teeth and said, "Send someone to Xinghebao for help, hurry up!"

More than a hundred cavalry rushed out of the chariot formation and headed towards Xinghe Fort.

Meng Dewei looked ahead and said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid I'm going to be attacked. I'll send an order and all departments are on guard!"

"Be wary! Be wary!"

After ordering, the atmosphere suddenly became tighter. The villagers looked ahead in panic, trembling, and some even asked for weapons.

The sunset shines on the grassland and turns into a blood-red color.

Meng Dewei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No! It must be wrong! Drag the cannon out, get ready! Get ready now!"

"Arson ready!"

The sharp shouts catalyzed the tension. The civilians gathered together without getting the weapons and obeyed the arrangement.

"Sir, Sir..."

An official from a hundred households pointed at the distance, his voice trembling.

Meng Dewei raised his telescope and looked forward, his hands trembling slightly.

The setting sun shone a bloody red in the grassland. In the strange bloody red, overwhelming cavalry were rushing out from the horizon.

"Enemy attack..."

A civilian stood on a cart, looking at the horizon as if it was the exit of hell, and the cavalry seemed to jump out of there, then waved their long swords and ran towards them yelling wildly.

"Halie is here..."

"Shut them up!"

Meng Dewei strode to the front of the car formation and watched the more than ten surviving Ming army scouts running for the desperate situation, feeling very hatred in his heart.

He hated that he should be more cautious and should send a scout to investigate before leaving Yehu Ridge, and then the convoy set out again.

The Ming army scout who was running away in the distance was gradually caught up. As the arrows flew, the lagging people were caught off guard and were immediately trampled into mud by countless horse hooves.

"Sir...twenty thousand riders!"

Meng Dewei nodded, closed his eyes for a moment, then opened his eyes and said, "We have five thousand people, no musketeers, this battle..."

This was inauspicious. Meng Dewei stopped talking and said, "For Your Majesty and for the Ming Dynasty, we must protect the convoy and pass on the orders. If we cannot save it, then we will burn the food in a fire and will never fall into the hands of the Halie."

The Halie people were short of food, and even the civilians could calculate this, so this order couldn't be more correct.

So there were many torches in the circle.

There was a chase ahead, and in the end only two scouts escaped.

"grown ups……"

At this time, the enemy was more than 300 steps away. Meng Dewei ignored the scout's shout and said, "The artillery fire!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

Five cannons spit out flames, and iron bombs rushed into the middle of the Halie people, causing damage.

But the five cannons are like a drop in the ocean to 20,000 cavalrymen.

Amid the sound of horse hooves, someone shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

The Halie people were also posing arrows, and the Ming army had already lost in terms of number of people.

"Can't hold on!"

Meng Dewei said desperately: "They can defeat us by just shooting, pass the order and attack!"

Play defense with cavalry on the grassland, unless you have a strong bow and archery force or a large number of spearmen, then... just wait to die!

Arrows flew into the chariot array, screaming endlessly.

After the Halie people in front shot the arrow, they immediately turned, and then another round of arrows was covered by the back.

"Sir, I have an order, attack! We need to fight back!"

How desperate is this to fight back with 5,000 and 20,000!

"Sir, where are we? Where are we?"

The civilians were afraid, so they hid behind them. When they saw the cavalry attacking, they immediately felt that they had become abandoned lambs.

Meng Dewei did not answer, but just shook his head.

The Halie would capture these civilians and then let them drive the convoy back. As for the future, that was not something he could think of.

Let everyone have their destiny!
Chapter completed!
