Volume I_Chapter 3459 The Chu Army Is Short of Food and Grass

Seeing the complexion of this group of people changed drastically, Feng Lingtian gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will die? I will tell you that Chu Xuanchen will not die, and I will never die." die!"

Having said that, he looked at the crowd and said sharply, "By the way, how is the war going now?"

Since they withdrew from Yizhou City, they retreated straight to Qizhou to join another 100,000 coalition forces.

As soon as they converged, the 100,000 troops from Xueyue Kingdom and the 100,000 troops from Chu Kingdom also surrounded them.

Therefore, the two armies quickly fought together, and the fight was in full swing and very fierce.

Feng Wu raised her head and said in a cold voice, "Brother Huang, the two armies of our army fought against each other a few days ago, and there was no distinction between you and me. But in the past two days, I suddenly discovered that Chu Xuanchen's army's combat effectiveness It has dropped a lot, and we have fought them a few times in the past few days, and we have won and they have lost."

"Really? Chu Xuanchen's army has always been very strong, how could their combat effectiveness decline?" Feng Lingtian asked in confusion.

Feng Wu said: "That's because their food and grass are about to run out!"

"What? Their food and grass are going to run out?" Feng Lingtian's eyes flashed with joy when he heard this.

However, he immediately said, "This Chu Xuanchen is used to playing tricks, this time, he won't use some bitter tricks to paralyze us, will he?"

Feng Wu said: "No, I have sent people to investigate, and the Chu army camp does not have much food and grass! Moreover, the soldiers of the Chu army have not received food for several months. Before Emperor Hongyuan was in office, he The corrupt officials under his command greedy for a lot of food and pay, and even transported grain mixed with sand to the Chu army. They didn't have much food in the first place. And this Chu Xuanchen came to the throne. Although he ordered people to transport food to the Chu army, the food Not much, just a drop in the bucket, it doesn’t work at all.”

Zhang Hu said: "That's right. Now that the supply of food and grass for the Chu army is not enough, they naturally have no strength and no fighting spirit to fight us. If we work harder, maybe we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Okay, that's great!" Feng Lingtian said, clenching his fists triumphantly, "I never thought that although Chu Xuanchen had an army of 200,000, he was short of food and grass. The food and grass are not enough. No matter how many soldiers he has, it's useless. Feng Wu, Zhang Hu, pass on the order, let's continue to fight, and strive to destroy these Chu troops in one go."

"Yes, Your Highness." Several people immediately answered with cupped hands.

In the camp, Dong Changfeng, Su Qishao, Xue Wuxia, Jiang Ning and others looked at the military sand table, everyone's expression was very heavy.

After everyone glanced at the sand table, Dong Changfeng said solemnly: "In the past two days, we have been forced back by the coalition forces for more than 30 miles. If this continues, the situation will be very critical."

"Then what should we do now?" Jiang Ning spread his hands and frowned.

Xue Wuxia said: "We must quickly counterattack and give the coalition forces a little color, so as to revive the morale and boost the confidence of the soldiers."

Su Qishao said eagerly, "But the soldiers don't have enough to eat, what will they use to fight the coalition forces?"

Dong Changfeng said: "That's right, we don't have enough food, and the soldiers' food and salaries haven't been distributed. They don't have fighting spirit, so how can they win the battle?"

Seeing that everyone was worried, Xue Wuxia hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have sent people to Xueyue Country to speed up the transportation of food and grass, and the food and grass should be delivered in a short time."

Su Qishao said, "Wuxia, we have such a large population and consume a lot of food every day. The food and grass in Xueyue Kingdom alone are not enough. Besides, this is our Chu Kingdom fighting. If you are willing to send troops to help us, we have already I am very grateful, how can I ask you to deliver food and grass to us again? Besides, you have delivered food and grass to us, what will your common people do?"

"That's right, crown prince, we know that you are good to us, but Xue Guoyue can't protect himself, how can we make things difficult for you? What you want to protect now is your people, not us. Don't worry, we have sent people to rush in Beijing, let the emperor find a way. I believe that the emperor will send people to transport food and grass to support us in a short time." Dong Changfeng said.

Hearing what the two said, Xue Wuxia lowered her eyes uncomfortably.

He also wanted to help the Chu army, but Dong Changfeng and the others were right, their Xueyue country had such a small population, and they didn't even have much food, so how could they help so many people?

Even the food and grass he had prepared in advance could hardly support his 100,000 army, so how could he help the Chu army?

So although he wanted to, there was nothing he could do.

At this time, Su Qishao looked at Dong Changfeng and asked, "General Dong, may I ask, how many days can our current food and grass last?"

General Dong thought for a while, and said: "If you save some food, you can last for half a month. Therefore, we can only pray that the emperor can deliver food to us within half a month. Otherwise, the consequences It would be unimaginable.”

"You have sent the battle report to the emperor. Based on my understanding of the emperor, after seeing the battle report, he will definitely raise food and grass to help us as soon as possible. But, what I am worried about is that our treasury is empty, and there is no food in it. I want to raise money, but I can't!" Su Qishao said worriedly.
