Liu Zeqing's team trekked between the hills and mountains with difficulty. After several days of marching, the soldiers who had not received breathing were already exhausted. The two bowls of porridge in the morning walked out of the land without three miles, and then they became silenced as they urinated.

What is even more miserable is the people who transport supplies.

They didn't bring much food themselves. I don't know how long this war will take. They must try their best to save it so that they will not starve to death in the later stage.

And their physical energy consumption is indeed several or even dozens of times that of those soldiers.

Along the way, I was constantly dying of illness and starvation, and wailing screams followed closely.

Faced with such a situation, Liu Zeqing turned a blind eye to it.

He has seen many such scenes, and there is no need to feel any pity for the common people and the untouchables. What he wants now is speed.

You must kill to Yishui before the enemy can detect his purpose.

As long as you get there and take down the huge steel factory, you will have troops, food, weapons and equipment, and you will be able to easily be among various forces.

Deputy General Wang Benchang reported to him: "Master, you can't go like this anymore. You must stop and rest."

Liu Zeqing frowned: "Why should I stop and rest?"

Wang Benchang quickly explained: "The soldiers' marching speed is faster than those civilians, and now there is a phenomenon of disconnection between the front and back."

"Go and kill a few lazy people and urge them to speed up the marching."

"But our soldiers have walked nearly 20 miles today. If they continue to march like this, their physical strength will be completely exhausted. Even if they arrive at the battlefield, they may not have the power to fight again."

The march started before dawn today. Now the sun has passed noon and has walked 20 miles. This has indeed reached the limit of the soldiers' physical strength.

"Also, if you want to ensure a marching distance of fifty miles a day, you have to let the soldiers have a full meal. It is always impossible to use this porridge with little water."

Faced with Wang Benchang's plea for the soldiers, Liu Zeqing frowned impatiently: "The court has given us so much food, and this war does not have to end until when, we must leave room for room."

Wang Benchang complained fiercely in his heart: This time, the blackmailing court was based on the normal share of three kilograms per day, two months, and the number of 150,000 people.

For this reason, the nerd Shi Kefa almost collected all the food in Yangzhou, and made his original good reputation have been scolded by the people.

But our general did sell such a large sum of grain to the merchant half and put all the huge amount of money into his own pocket.

You can sell this military ration, but you will get some for everyone.

The result is that you make us tired and exhausted, but don’t give us a little bit of oil and water. Who can bear it?

"The soldiers are not full. If you go on such an urgent journey, you will arrive at the battlefield. Not to mention fighting, you will probably not even be able to stand. My uncle will observe clearly."

"I have clearly checked and investigated. Didn't we have already planned it when we sent troops? I have to solve the food and supplies of the army along the way. You can't collect food locally but always care about me. How can this be true?"

Wang Benchang grinned: "The army took action to solve the food and supplies on the spot, which is also a rule. But you have to give us time to raise it.

We didn't even have a chance to catch our breath after a few days of marching. How could we raise supplies on the spot? Isn't this a tough guy?"

Liu Zeqing couldn't say anything about Wang Benchang's direct complaints and offenses.

Because Wang Benchang was an old man in this army, and there were people in his court.

So, sometimes, he still has to save face.

Finally, I thought about it: "Okay, now I will order the army to station in the valley in front of me to rest, and give you half a day to collect food and grass around."

The so-called collection is to grab food, money, and women. This is also a kind of welfare for the soldiers and also a grace to help the people replenish their food.

Wang Benchang received the order excitedly and immediately went to pass the order.

After receiving this order, the 50,000 soldiers were already exhausted, and their soft legs, which were as soft as noodles, immediately became excited.

Gu

There was no place to camp, and everyone shouted, and immediately rushed to the surrounding villages and towns like hornets.

Wang Benchang, with his own guard team, had long taken a fancy to a market town not far ahead.

The houses in that market town look like, and depending on the scale, they are no less than three or five hundred.

This is a fat sheep. As long as you arrive first and start first, you will definitely be able to gain a lot of money.

I must get a few beautiful girls back tonight and solve the fatigue of marching for four consecutive days.

All of his personal soldiers were cavalry, which was a treasure brought from the north, and of course it was faster than other friendly troops.

He took the lead and rushed into the market town.

As soon as he rushed into the market town, Wang Benchang felt something was wrong.

There is no excitement here, no panic escape, no panic in the people, nor the screams of women.

There was not even a single dog in the whole town, and it was silent in the cold wind, like a dead city.

This is unscientific, and it is even more unreasonable.

Looking at the shops on both sides of the street, the vibrant signs and flags were still there, but there was no sign of anger.

"Hurry and search on both sides of the street, catch a few living people and let them work hard."

Dozens of personal soldiers rushed out, smashing the door panels from door to door, and kicking the windows.

Standing on the street swept by the cold wind, Wang Benchang still didn't hear the screams of the people. There were only his own soldiers in the entire street, and the sound of smashing the door.

Apart from such a sound, there is no other sound.

Just when he was confused, a personal soldier ran back: "Report to the general, no one."

"What about the supplies in those shops?"

"Neither. Everything was emptied, leaving only the bulky furniture."

An ominous aura immediately rushed to Wang Benchang's head.

"No, the enemy has already known his marching route and purpose. The enemy has begun to merge and clear the field on his own way forward."

Since there is no food and property, burn it: "Burn the whole time to remind the unruly people."

However, his personal soldiers reported in embarrassment: "It seems that the people in this town have already prepared for them to completely wet and freeze their houses in advance, and even the roofs are covered with loess."

Wang Benchang rushed into a shop with three stores angrily.

As expected, this store has already been empty, and anyone who can move or take away, even a little value, no longer exists.

Looking at the window frame, looking up at the beams, there was a thick layer of ice hanging on it.

If you want to use a torch to ignite anger, I'm sorry, you must knock out the ice spirit on the wood first.

We are robbing, so how can we have that leisure?

But from this point of view, Wang Benchang has clearly known that these people have received notice in advance, and that without the government organization, they would definitely not be able to do this level.

Official organization?

This thought flashed into my mind, and Wang Benchang couldn't help but suddenly had a cold war in this cold wind.
