The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 964 What's the use of having more soldiers and horses?

Seeing that Yu Chengcheng had been occupied by Guishuang Mongolian soldiers and horses, and their soldiers and horses had discovered him, Shi Jiantang did not dare to continue sending troops to nearby cities to raise food and grass, lest the soldiers and horses in the city come out to surprise him.

Afterwards, Shi Jiantang and Zhensheng returned to the east camp with soldiers and horses, and told Li Cunxiao what Yu Chengcheng had discovered.

In the camp, a group of senior generals of the Han Army gathered together to listen to Shi Jiantang's talk about Yu Chengcheng's situation.

After listening, Li Cunxiao said calmly: "The soldiers and horses of Guishuang have already occupied Yucheng, a strong city in the east. They want to cut off our army's supplies. Or they will surprise our army when our army is in action. It's time for him to attack us."

Shi Jiantang nodded and said: "It's a pity that we don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Yu Chengcheng, and the enemy's situation is unknown, so it will be very passive for us."

Li Cunxiao said in a deep voice: "The enemy's situation is unknown, so we will find a way to find out. We only brought 20 days of rations here, and now we have used up almost half of it. Although General Zilong is behind with a large group of troops, he can't deliver them." How much food and grass.

It just so happens that you have gone to many cities in the past few days to let the people in the city raise food and grass, so I will personally lead 2000 people to collect food.If my prediction is correct, the soldiers and horses in Yu Chengcheng must lead the soldiers and horses to intercept the grain and grass, and you should pay close attention to the situation in Yu Chengcheng.If necessary, lead a troop to attack Yu Cheng tentatively to see how many troops Yu Cheng has. "

"Promise!" For Li Cunxiao's order, Shi Jiantang, Chang Mao and others did not object at all.On the contrary, Zhensheng was a little worried, and said: "Yu Chengcheng's soldiers and horses know that our army is short of food, so they will definitely send troops to intercept the food, and there must be a lot of soldiers and horses. The general only brings 2000 people to escort the food and grass, I'm afraid it's..."

Zhensheng's worries were not wrong. The cities they ran to were all big cities in the past few days, and the people of Dawan in the city probably raised a lot of food and grass.He only led 2000 men and horses to escort, and it is estimated that most of the manpower will be used to transport food and grass on the return journey, and there are only a few hundred soldiers and horses that can be used for fighting.

Even though Zhensheng knew that Li Cunxiao's martial arts were far superior to his own, he still felt that it was too risky for only a few hundred people to fight when transporting food and grass back.

Li Cunxiao laughed and said, "Don't worry, 2000 men and 500 will be used to guard food and grass. 500 men will be used for fighting, that's enough! If I bring too many, your actions will be dangerous. Moreover, Guishuang soldiers and horses in Yucheng City may also raid our army camp."

Chang Mao also chimed in and said, "That's right, my master sent troops in person. It's fine if Guishuang's soldiers don't come. If they come, they will give away their heads and credit for their achievements."

Seeing that the generals and schools of the Han army were so confident and no one objected, Zhensheng did not dissuade them, but cupped his hands and said: "I will take General Shi to the nearby city to gather the people to raise food and grass. Also ask General An to take me with you."

"That's great!" Li Cunxiao readily agreed.

The next day, Li Cunxiao led [-] soldiers and horses to the city that Zhensheng had notified to collect food.The people in those cities had already prepared food and grass, and packed them in horse-drawn carts, waiting for the Han army to come and fetch them.

However, due to the cold weather and road closures due to snow, Li Cunxiao could only go to one city to fetch food every day, and after getting the food, he had to return to the camp to settle the food.However, Zhensheng notified eight cities in total, and Li Cunxiao would spend eight days to deliver the grain and grass after counting the time.

However, Li Cunxiao delivered food and grass for two days in a row, and the Guishuang soldiers and Mongolian soldiers and horses in Yu Chengcheng did not take any action.

Perhaps they were also worried that the Han army would ambush them, so they had to find out the situation to avoid being ambushed by the Han army.Or maybe they deliberately did not attack, making Li Cunxiao take his guard lightly, and maybe they suddenly attacked Li Cunxiao in the next few days.

Yu Chengcheng!
Guishuang and Mongolia actually sent a total of [-] soldiers and horses this time, of which Guishuang has [-] soldiers and horses, and Mongolia has [-] cavalry.Guishuang's chief general is Tuggs's deputy named Xituo, who is different from Tuglo, a fierce general. Xituo is a wise general, and he also came up with the strategy of occupying Yu Chengcheng to deal with the Han army this time.

The main general of the Mongolian side is Tuo Lei's Commander Ten Thousand, named Wuhetai, who is also a brave general.Mongolia now occupies almost the entire Asian grassland, bordering Yanshan Mountain in the east and starting from Central Asia in the west, with a length and width of more than 1 miles, millions of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.In addition to Temujin's indiscriminate talent, there are naturally other local talents who have been promoted under his command. This Wuhetai is one of the talents promoted by Temujin from the local area.

Although Tuo Lei lost power, Temujin did not appoint Tuo Lei with a confidant like Mu Huali, but he gave Tuo Lei a large number of local talents to manage the Central Asian area occupied by the Northern Huns, and his power should not be underestimated.

On the night of the second day when Li Cunxiao escorted the grain and grass, Xituo and Wuhetai gathered together to discuss major issues.

Xituo was seven feet tall and dressed in white armor. He said to Wuhetai: "I sent troops to inquire about the news of the Han army in the past two days. The Han army indeed sent two thousand soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass. The Han army in the middle did not move at all, it seems that the Han army does not plan to deal with our army in the matter of escorting food and grass."

Wu Hetai's face was a bit worried, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you found out who the leader of the Han army's grain transport team is?"

Xi Tuo shook his head and said, "The weather is dark and there is snow on the ground. Our scouts can't get close to the Han army. How do we know who the Han army is escorting the grain and grass? Why do you care so much about this? The Han army is only two Thousands of soldiers and horses come to transport food, and our army will be able to gain something in a surprise attack. If this drags on, the food and grass in those cities will be transported by the Han army. When the general has enough food and grass, our army will lose the opportunity."

Wuhetai smiled bitterly and said: "You Guishuang didn't fight the Han army, so you don't know the horror of the Han army. We Mongolia and the Han army have fought against the Han army several times, and we know the horror of the Han army. The Han army in Xizhou, There are a few fierce generals who are very powerful. Just talking about Shi Jiantang, Zhao Yun, and Ma Chao's martial arts are no longer inferior to Que Teqin, the number one warrior in Mongolia.

And An Jingsi, who defeated Que Teqin in just two or three rounds.I'm worried that they personally escorted the grain and grass. If we go to make a surprise attack, I'm afraid that if we steal chickens, we will lose money instead. "

Xituo couldn't help but fell silent when he heard the words. According to the soldiers and horses who fled back to Guishan, they were defeated by a young general of the big man alone. Every young general of the big man is so powerful, let alone those famous generals.

But after a while, Xituo laughed, patted Wuhetai on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much, those big men are in high positions, how can they deliver food and grass in person? Besides, even if they send troops in person, only Two thousand cavalry, we just need to send more soldiers and horses, even if there are really big men and fierce generals, maybe we have to let him come and go."

Wuhetai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "That's right, the Han army only has two thousand soldiers and horses to transport food and grass, we just need to send more people. If four thousand is not enough, then eight thousand, and if eight thousand is not enough, then ten thousand!" "

After all, Wuhetai is a newly promoted general, but he has only heard about the horrors of Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun and others from Tuo Lei.But Tuo Lei is here, I'm afraid that if it is really Li Cunxiao, Zhao Yun and others go out in person, what's the use of sending 8000 people?
