Chapter 254: The Missing Prisoner
"Tu tu tu tu..." Zhao Feng's door was knocked.
"Who?" Zhao Feng looked out the window and found that it was not dawn yet! He asked angrily.
"Lord, it's Yunzhong and the others who are back!" Pang Tong's voice was a little awkward.
"I understand, I'll come out soon!" Zhao Feng was delighted. It seemed that this matter was done!
Zhao Feng quickly got up and put on his clothes, then followed Pang Tong outside the house and followed Pang Tong towards the city gate.
When he arrived at a clearing ground at the city gate, Zhao Feng found that the soldiers of the guard camp were relaxing.
"Cough cough!" Zhao Feng coughed lightly twice.
Zhang Tai was shocked and quickly got up, "Get together!"
When the soldiers of the guard battalion heard the order, they immediately became alert and gathered quickly.
"Lord, the soldiers of the Guard Battalion have been assembled, please give instructions!" After Zhang Tai gathered the soldiers, he reported to Zhao Feng. This was a habit that Zhao Feng had trained the Guard Battalion.
"Very good, it seems that the task has been completed successfully?" Zhao Feng asked with a smile.
"Report to the lord, the mission was completed successfully. We destroyed the enemy's food, grass and some weapons, and added croton flour to the enemy's water source!" Zhang Tai reported.
"Okay! Beautiful job!" Zhao Feng was overjoyed. "You guys go back and rest first. There should be a fierce battle after dawn!"
"Yes!" Zhang Tai nodded. He also knew that since he had done all this, it would definitely mean that there would be a big battle in dawn or in another day or two! So Zhang Tai began to organize the soldiers of the guard battalion to leave.
After Zhang Tai organized the soldiers to leave, Pang Tong asked, "Lord, I'll send troops tomorrow. Are you a little anxious?"
"How do you say this?" Zhao Feng asked in confusion.
"Lord, think that Goguryeo has just been destroyed, and its food and water sources have just been destroyed. At this time, their soldiers should still have the power to fight, so we might as well wait. When their strength is exhausted, we can defeat the enemy in one battle!" Pang Tong said.
"This..." Zhao Feng thought about it carefully, and felt that Pang Tong's words still made sense, so he nodded, "Okay, then wait another day, and we will send troops tomorrow morning!"
"The lord is wise!" Pang Tong praised.
"All right, don't flatter me! Just make more suggestions in the future! I'm still sleepy and won't stand here with you. Go back and make up for it!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, turned around and left, and walked towards his house.
...
That night, the soldiers of Goguryeo felt that they were sleeping very soundly, as if they had made up for all the sleep they had lacked before! It was not until the sun was sunny that all the soldiers woke up one after another.
When Shamo woke up, she smelled something burning. She immediately woke up and shouted at the outside of the tent, "Come here!"
"Sir!" Soon two soldiers with crooked armor trot into the tent.
"What's going on with you? Why did you get up?" Shamo was displeased and asked sternly with a frown.
"Sir, forgive me, forgive me!" The two soldiers did not dare to say much, so they had to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Forget it, you guys get up. What's going on outside? Why did I ask what's burning smell?" Shamo waved his hand and did not hold them accountable any further.
"I don't know this little guy, Rong Xiaogo out to take a look!" The soldier shook his head. He had just woken up. What could he know?
"Go and go back!" Shamo shook his head, feeling his head groggy, as if it was filled with lead.
"Big... Sir! Not good! Not good!" Soon, the soldier returned to the tent.
"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?" Shamo asked with a frown.
"Report... Report to sir! Our food and grass! Our food and grass!" The soldiers could no longer speak in panic.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with the food and grass?" Shamo suddenly reacted, "You mean our food and grass are burned?!!"
"Yes...yes!" The soldier lowered his head and did not dare to look at Shamo!
"Waste! Waste!" Shamo was furious and kicked the soldier over to the ground. Shamo was still unsatisfied and smashed all the things that could be smashed in his tent!
"General Shamo, what's wrong? Why are you so angry?" At this time, Liu Hong walked into the tent.
"Our food and grass are gone!" Shamo said in a daze.
"Food and grass?" Liu Hong was shocked, "What's going on?"
"I don't know, someone should have burned all our food last night!" Shamo shook his head. He spent the whole night in his sleep. How could he know what happened?
"What?!" Liu Hong was shocked. As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first. A mighty general should not do anything without food. Since ancient times, there have been countless cases of defeat in the misfortune due to problems with food and grass or the food routes have been cut off by others.
Originally, after he cut off Zhao Feng's food and grass, Liu Hong thought he was sure to win, but unexpectedly, Zhao Feng actually used this move. In this way, the two armies returned to the same starting line!
"General Shamo, are those five thousand Liaodong soldiers still there?" Liu Hong asked suddenly.
"This... I don't know, go and see if the five thousand prisoners are still there?" Shamo said to the soldiers lying on the ground.
Upon hearing this, the soldier got up with difficulty and walked out of the tent.
"General, so our army is just back to the same starting line, and our army may not be defeated! Moreover, the Liaodong army has no food before our army, and our army should have consumed more energy than the Liaodong army!" Liu Hong comforted Shamo.
"Yeah!" Shamo nodded, and the anxiety in his heart eased a little.
"If Hong was not wrong, the five thousand soldiers were not surrendered at all. They should be the elite soldiers in Zhao Feng's army. They burned our army's food last night." Liu Hong analyzed, "And if Hong guessed well, the reason why no one discovered them last night was because they used the incense to pervert us!"
"But if it was really them, why did they just get confused and not kill us?" Shamo was puzzled.
"One of the time, they only have 5,000 people, and we have 150,000 people. Even if we kill one by one, when will we have to kill? Besides, our big tents are arranged very chaotic, and they are very troublesome to find the big tent of the central army. They should not have time to kill the general!" Liu Honghong analyzed.
"Report!" The soldier turned back again, "Report to General, the five thousand people are gone, and all the soldiers guarding the camp at the gate of the camp were killed!"
"I understand, you go down!" Shamo waved his hand, looking quite helpless.
