Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 2020 Burning Grain

Gou Buhui woke up from his sleep in a daze, and said: "What's wrong, ghosts are crying and wolves are howling."

"At the exit of Beershan County, a military fortress was built overnight by the Qi army, and we were besieged by the Qi army!"

"what?"

Gou Buhui's face changed drastically, he put on his armor in a hurry, ran out of the camp, and then rode his horse towards the exit. After riding for about fifty miles, he saw a fortress with a wall in front of him.

This walled fortress is more than ten miles long, and there are well-equipped Qi troops, archers, etc. standing on it.

"What should I do?" the soldier asked hurriedly.

Gou Buhui took a deep breath and said, "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Soon, the other generals also knew about this matter, and they all ran to the camp of the first army to gather.

The chief general of the first army, named Hu Geng, is Fang Jinzuo's first-class confidant general, and the ten chief generals are basically headed by him.

Otherwise, they wouldn't come to the First Army every time they discussed important matters.

Hu Geng said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have been tricked. I am afraid that the letter sent to us before has been dropped."

He saw through the problem at a glance, it was absolutely impossible for Fang Jin to give them such an order.

Gou Buhui said: "Brother Hu, you have the highest status here, can you tell me what to do? Otherwise, let's rush out, with a 200 million army, we can't make it to the next fortress?"

"No hurry." Hu Geng said in a deep voice: "Qi State is obviously prepared for doing this, and I am afraid that we have thoroughly thought out the way to deal with it. If we attack rashly, if the 200 million army suffers heavy casualties, who will be killed?" Can you afford this responsibility? How can you explain to General Fang Jin?"

Hu Geng rolled his eyes: "Let the monk find a way to rush out and contact the general, and then ask the general to find a way to give us instructions."

Hu Geng's choice was indeed a good way for him not to take the blame.

You know, if the 200 million army can break out of the siege after the attack, and there are not many casualties, then everything is easy to say, and you may still be able to make meritorious service.

But what if you can't get out?

Even if they fight out, what if the casualties are heavy?

He can't bear this responsibility.

Hu Geng murmured in his heart, looked at the other generals around him, and thought to himself, this group of guys let themselves make up their minds, didn't they just think something happened, and it has nothing to do with them?

Seeing what Chen Geng said, the others nodded as well.

One of them said: "We don't need to worry. After the general knows our situation, he will naturally have a good plan! If you act recklessly, maybe it will be bad."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

On the distant city wall, Zhao Lingxing frowned and looked into the distance. Chen Pingyi stood beside him and asked, "Now that you've finally accomplished it, the next two million troops will be trapped here, what else can General Zhao do?" worried?"

To be honest, Chen Pingyi didn't even think that it would be so successful. This is an army of 200 million!

Zhao Lingxing stepped on the city wall under his feet: "This city wall was only repaired tonight, and it is not strong at all. The cavalry can be crushed after two charges. At least it will take two days before it can be completely strengthened. I am worried that in these two days, they will Launch the charge."

Chen Pingyi nodded, his face was also full of worry.

"The next step is to dispatch the masters of the temple," Zhao Lingxing said.

Chen Pingyi said in relief: "Don't worry, the masters of our temple have already hidden in these three mountains, let alone Zhou's monks, even a fly can't fly away."

"En." Zhao Lingxing nodded slowly: "In addition, in two days, I have to trouble Chen Xuanzhu and his top experts to go there in person."

……

The ten armies were stationed in place like this.

After two days, still no monk was able to break out.

It's noon.

"It's on fire!"

"It's on fire!"

At this time, the barracks of the third army suddenly started a fire.

And the place where the fire started is the place where the food and grass are!

"It's not good, General Gou, the food has been burned."

Gou Buhui hurriedly led the guards in his hands to put out the fire.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and there was still one-third of the grain and grass left.

Gou Buhui roared angrily: "Where are the monks guarding here? Are they all dead?"

Gou Buhui was well aware of the importance of food, and basically arranged for the monks accompanying the camp to guard the food.

There were not many guards around him.

Unexpectedly, something happened to the food.

At this moment, a monk came over with an innocent look on his face: "My lord, we didn't notice anyone approaching at all. I'm afraid it's a monk whose cultivation level is much higher than ours."

Gou Buhui gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Come on, how much food do we have left?"

An adjutant rushed to Gou Buhui's side and said in a low voice, "General, the food we carried was enough to feed 20 troops for two months, but now the rest, I'm afraid, can only last for 20 days..."

"Go to General Wu of the Seventh Army and General Cheng of the Ninth Army to borrow some money. The two of us are close friends. We have fought together on the battlefield. It is a lifelong friendship." Gou Buhui said: "In addition Let them strengthen the custody of food."

"Yes."

The adjutant rushed over quickly, Gou Buhui glanced at the group of monks, and snorted: "I'll settle the score with you later."

He comforted in his heart, fortunately the ten armies are all together, so it is not difficult to borrow food.

Back in his main camp, waiting for news from the adjutant.

Not long after, his adjutant came back, bringing back an acquaintance.

"Hey, old Cheng, you still come to deliver the food yourself?" Gou Buhui's face was a little moved. You must know that food is as important to an army as human blood.

Gou Buhui stepped forward and shook General Cheng's hand: "As expected, I blocked a knife for you on the battlefield, haha, how much food did you bring?"

The adjutant's face was somewhat embarrassed, and he said in a low voice: "General Wu of the Seventh Army is in the same situation as us, and only [-]% of the grain is left after being burned, and the grain of General Cheng's Ninth Army is burnt to the ground Only less than [-]% left..."

Gou Buhui glanced at the corner of his mouth.

General Cheng hurriedly said: "Old Gou, we are all brothers who were born and died, you can't do nothing, that's a total of 20 people, you still have [-]% of the grain left, I don't want more, I will [-]%! Treat it as if you lent it to me, and I will return it to you at the market price later.”

"Don't, don't, let me take a breath."

Gou Buhui waved his hands hastily, scolding himself as an adjutant in his heart, "Damn it, I asked you to go out to borrow food, but you didn't get the food, so you have to lend it to someone else instead?"What the hell.
