Chapter 543 Destruction of [-] Zhao Jun’s Food and Grass
Chapter 544: Destroy [-] Zhao Jun's Food and Grass
In the 27th year of Qianyuan, on the third day of October, Guan Ling led five hundred elites to the outside of Pengcheng. The purpose of their trip was to obstruct the Zhao army's grain transportation team and delay their arrival in Lu County, so that Xiang Quan could lead his army to Lu County. Buying time, but when Guan Ling led his troops to Pengcheng, Zhao Jun's grain transportation team had already left Pengcheng.

"General, according to the report from the spies, the Zhao army's grain transportation team had already left Pengcheng in the early morning, and it has gone far away now, but the marching speed of the grain transportation team is slow. If we catch up now without stopping, I believe we can catch up with Zhao before sunrise tomorrow. Army." Guan Shan, Guan Ling's family general, said to Guan Ling.

After Xiang Quan and Guan Ling conquered Wu County, they got a batch of war horses, and together with the support of the various gentry and nobles, they also collected hundreds of horses. In order to intercept the Zhao army's grain transport team, Xiang Quan gave all the war horses Guan Ling, so Guan Ling could arrive in Pengcheng within two days.

Guan Ling thought for a while, and then said: "Brothers are already exhausted after driving for days, and the horses also need to rest. Send an order to rest in place for an hour, and continue on the road after an hour."

"Here!" Guan Shan responded.

An hour later, Guan Ling led his troops to continue on their way. After a night of marching, they finally caught up with Zhao Jun's grain transport team. However, they found that Zhao Jun's grain transport team had more than a thousand people, and they were all well-equipped. The elite, reckless will definitely not work.

"General, what should we do now?" Seeing this, Guan Shan asked Guan Ling.

Guan Ling pondered for a while and said: "The enemy is outnumbered, and although our army can fight immediately, it is not a real cavalry after all. I am afraid that we will suffer a lot if we fight hard. Fortunately, our mission is to delay Zhao Jun's march. Speed, like this, the whole army is divided into several small teams, and they take turns to harass Zhao Jun with bows and arrows, but remember, once Zhao Jun comes out, he must retreat immediately, and he must not confront Zhao Jun head-on."

Guan Ling thought very clearly. Although they had [-] elites, and they all came on horseback, they were not real cavalry after all, and their strength on horseback might not be as good as on the ground. Only by harassing Zhao Jun is the best way.

After receiving Guan Ling's order, Guan Shan immediately divided the 500 people under his command into five teams, and took turns attacking the marching Zhao army's grain transport team.

"Enemy attack!" Under Deng Jun's sudden attack, Zhao Jun's food transportation team had to stop marching and lined up on the spot, but when they came out, Deng Jun who came to harass him immediately withdrew, Zhao Jun Although he didn't understand, he continued to move forward, but his vigilance in his heart also increased a bit. At the same time, he sent a messenger to Lu County to report the letter immediately, hoping that Lu County could send troops to respond.

But before Zhao Jun’s food transport team had walked a few miles, Deng Jun’s attack came again, and this time it was the same old trick. The Deng Jun who came to attack did not confront Zhao Jun head-on at all, but retreated immediately. Without stopping at all, they were attacked several times in just over ten miles. Each time, when Zhao Jun was about to send troops to fight out, Deng Jun retreated. In this way, no matter how stupid the general of Zhao Jun's food transport team was, he would understand What happened.

But I understand it, but Zhao Jun still chooses to stop every time he is attacked. After all, they shoulder the heavy responsibility of food and grass for the [-] troops on the front line, so they can't be negligent. It only took two days to travel, and Zhao Jun walked for four days, which also gave Xiang Quan and others time to rush to Lu County.

In the 27th year of Qianyuan, on the seventh day of October, Xiang Quan finally led [-] soldiers and horses to the outside of Lu County. After gaining a firm foothold in Wu County, Xiang Quan once expanded his troops to more than [-] people. Regarding the safety of the county, Xiang Quan still left Dong Ning, Fan Yang and [-] soldiers to stay in Wu County, while he and Li Fang led [-] soldiers to Lu County.

"General, it seems that General Guan Ling's operation was very successful. Zhao Jun's food transportation team has not yet arrived in Lu County." Seeing that there were no traces of marching troops around, Li Fang couldn't help but said with a sigh of relief.

"Yes!" Xiang Quan also nodded, and said with a sigh of relief: "However, according to the calculation of the footsteps, Zhao Jun's grain transportation team should not be far from Lu County. Send the order, the whole army is on alert, and attack at any time .”

"Here!" Li Fang replied.

"Report!" At this time, a scouting horse reported: "General Qi, ten miles ahead, we found that the Zhao army in the brigade was transporting a large amount of supplies."

"It's finally here!" Xiang Quan knew that it was Zhao Jun's food transport team, so he ordered: "Send the order, the whole army is ready, move forward in ambush, and slowly approach Zhao Jun!"

But before the order was issued, another scout horse came back and said: "General Qi, a large group of Zhao troops was found [-] miles east of Lu County, the number of which is about [-]!"

Xiang Quan and Li Fang felt tense when they heard the words, and Li Fang said to Xiang Quan: "General, it must be that the Zhao army in Xiapi got the news and came to meet the Zhao army's food delivery team. So, what should we do now?"

Xiang Quan thought for a while and said: "The Zhao army from Xiapi must have come here to meet the grain transport team, but they don't know that we have arrived in Lu County, so the marching speed will not be very fast. If we can Get rid of Zhao Jun's food transport team as quickly as possible, then everything will be fine, pass the order, and the whole army will set off immediately!"

"Here!" Li Fang heard the words and immediately passed the order down!
Xiang Quan led [-] soldiers and horses to march all the way. After half an hour, he finally arrived at the location of Zhao Jun's grain transport team. At this time, Zhao Jun's grain transport team had just been attacked by Deng Jun again, and was planning to repeat the same trick. Drive away Deng Jun, and at this moment, Xiang Quan led his troops to kill Zhao Jun, who was caught off guard, and was immediately defeated by Xiang Quan's rebel army.

Guan Ling, who was hiding at the side, saw Xiang Quan leading the troops to kill him, and immediately killed them. However, Zhao Jun's grain transportation team was also well-trained. Formation, firmly protect the food and grass.

Seeing this, Xiang Quan knew that if the delay continued, the Zhao army in Xiapi would soon be killed, so he ordered a fierce attack at all costs.

After an hour of onslaught, the Zhao army responsible for transporting grain and grass was finally defeated. Only a few dozen people escaped seeing the situation was wrong, and the others were all wiped out. Fortunately, there were 5000 casualties among the 2000 people, and even the five hundred Yongping elite guards brought by Guan Ling had nearly a hundred casualties. Fortunately, Zhao Jun's food and grass were successfully intercepted in the end.

However, after the war ended, Xiang Quan and others looked at the mountains of food and grass in front of them and worried. If it was normal, they would choose to transport the food and grass back to Wu County. Blood transfusion, but Zhao Jun came to Xiapi in a blink of an eye, they didn't have this time at all.

"General, the Zhao army already knew that the grain transport team was attacked, and they have already rushed across Lu County to kill here. At this time, it is less than five miles away from here." At this time, Li Fang hurriedly came to Xiang Quan and Guan Ling. said to the front.

"There is no time, pass the order. Burn the grain and grass immediately, and then evacuate immediately!" Seeing that Zhao Jun is about to kill him, Xiang Quan immediately decided to burn the grain and grass. Although it is a pity, Xiang Quan can only do this in order to preserve his strength. Done.

Soon, with the joint efforts of thousands of people, the mountain of food and grass piled up in front of him was burned. After finishing all this, Xiang Quan led his army to leave this place immediately, and even the corpses of his comrades who died in battle had no time to clean up, so he walked away .

When Zhao Jun arrived here, the rebels had already fled. This time, Zhao Jun's general Wang Lu, who was in charge of supporting the food delivery team, saw the flames soaring into the sky and hurriedly sent people to put out the fire, but everything was in vain. The grain and grass that could support [-] Zhao troops for three months were still completely burned by the fire.

"General, the food and grass were burned by the rebel army, what should we do now!" the deputy general asked Wang Lu with a mournful face.

But what can Wang Lu do?The food and grass of the [-] army were burned, and he, as the general of the food transportation team, was finally to blame. Now he can't wait to catch up with Xiang Quan and the others immediately, and let him breathe a sigh of relief, but the current situation does not allow him to do so.

"Immediately send someone to the front to report to General Zhang Jie, and another person to Lu County and Pengcheng, and order them to raise a batch of food and grass as quickly as possible, and I will personally escort it to the front line!" Wang Lu took a deep breath and said, the food and grass were burned It has become a fact, and now even if he crushes Xiang Quan and others, it will not help. He should raise a new batch of food and grass as soon as possible, and personally lead the troops to escort them. I only hope that there will be time.

"Here!" The deputy general responded, and hurried down to deliver the order.

On the other hand, after Xiang Quan and others left, they rushed to Wu County. According to the original plan, they should go to Pengcheng, and use Zhang San, the master of Zhao Jun, to see if they can knock on the gate of Pengcheng. However, after the battle with Zhao Jun's grain transportation team, his own losses were also great, and there were still [-] Zhao Jun's elite behind him, in this case.No matter how hard Xiang Quan was, he couldn't touch Pengcheng. In desperation, he had to lead his troops back to Wu County.

In the 27th year of Qianyuan, the tenth day of October.Xiang Quan finally returned to Wu County, and the midwinter came as scheduled, and there was heavy white snow in the sky. Looking at the snowflakes all over the sky, Xiang Quan was also relieved. If there is no accident, this year's war can also be done. It's over, and the nerves that have been tense for several months can finally relax a little.

After returning to Wu County, Xiang Quan immediately wanted to increase his troops. A battle outside the city of Lu County knocked out a quarter of the soldiers and horses in Xiang Quan's hands, which was enough to hurt his muscles and bones. After the beginning of spring, Zhao Jun's frenzied siege, Xiang Quan knew that his life this winter would not be too easy. If he was not prepared enough, he really didn't have the confidence to withstand Zhao Jun's siege.
