Chapter 349: Deadlock

"Bring these gunpowder cans too. ?? August 1 Chinese???? ㈧"
Outside Yunzhou City, the cavalry and musketeers led by Qi Guangyi were waiting for orders.
Lin Wentao and others arrived in time, and they would leave if it was later.
Zhanxingchang is also preparing to go to Jizhou this time. The flying distance of the hot air balloon is too short, and it must take a short distance to play a real effect. Therefore, Qi Guangyi and the Musketeer team are also responsible for protecting the hot air balloon while rushing to help.
After all, now that Fencheng is under siege, they have cut off news from each other, unable to communicate with Niu Ben and unable to attack in time.
Before leaving, Xiao Ming also handed some gunpowder cans to Liang Yubin, although their most important task was to be responsible for information transmission and investigation.
But occasionally throwing a gunpowder can into the barbarian army is estimated to have unexpected effects.
Prepared properly, Xiao Ming patted Liang Yubin and He Cheng on the shoulders, meaning that the two of them had a heavy task.
Liang Yubin and He Chenggan were also brave people driving the hot air balloon. At this time, they didn't feel anything, and for them, the hot air balloon was in the air, and no one could hit them.
"Zhan Xingchang, this is the last elite of this king, and it's over to you."
After saying this, Xiao Ming suddenly felt a little sad, quite angrily and indignantly that said on the battlefield, "Leader retreat. If you continue to fight, brothers will be defeated."
But what he is facing now is this kind of situation that makes every day ineffective and calls the earth to be unwilling.
Even if he had a few usable soldiers in his hand, he wouldn't let King Wei's mountain camp to the grain.
Speaking of these days, he has been in fear. The soldiers in Yunzhou City could not move. After the first batch of grain and grass were transported, the second batch of grain and grass was still robbed. He felt more distressed than anyone.
"King Qinglong, now you are happy, this king will check the bill with you and settle the bill." Xiao Ming clenched his fists.
...
Fencheng.
Luo Quan led fifty thousand cavalry troops stationed five miles away, and the scouts who went out to investigate kept returning news.
At this time, the barbarians were camping around Fencheng, and they had the idea of ​​trapping the Qingzhou army.
The cavalry of 50,000 people stretched for several miles. He could not attack for the time being. He could only consider whether to attack or not until all the cavalry arrived.
"Set up camp!"
Luo Quan gave the order. At this time, hundreds of thousands of troops of the Forbidden Army, the Barbarians, and the Qingzhou Army gathered around Jizhou. This war will last for a while.
The barbarians also travel long distances like them. Soldiers need to eat. It is impossible to fight all day long. It is also necessary to bury the pot and cook.
The cavalry continued to arrive, and the auxiliary soldiers began to build temporary camps.
At this time Luo Xin glanced at the direction when he came, he was a little worried about Luo Hong.
If he is not left to confront the barbarian cavalry, the cavalry he leads will definitely be entangled by the barbarian cavalry, and it is even more unlikely that he will be stationed not far from Fencheng.
Taking out the binoculars, Luo Quan glanced in the direction of Fencheng. In front of him was a dense pack of Barbarian cavalry.
Some barbarian scouts were moving here, obviously they were spotted.
However, like them, the barbarians didn't seem to have the intention to start war immediately, but some barbarian cavalry had gathered, seeming to prevent them from suddenly attacking.
Seeing this scene, he then ordered the soldiers to take turns to bury pots for cooking, some cavalry guards, and some to eat first.
In his opinion, the barbarians do not seem to be eager to fight, their goal is the Qingzhou Army in Fencheng.
"Niu Ben, my old friend is here to save you." Luo Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head.
No war overnight.
On the second day, news came from the scouts that Luo Hongyi was in a stalemate with the barbarian cavalry.
Upon receiving this news, Luo Quan breathed a sigh of relief. Under Luo Hong's leadership, Jin Wuwei did not appear to have collapsed.
As long as the soldiers don't mess around, Luo Hong can continue to contain the barbarian cavalry.
Reassured, Luo Quan began to analyze the current battle situation. It was obvious that the barbarians now had an advantage.
Because the barbarians not only have 150,000 cavalry and 200,000 slave soldiers, but they also know that the Qingzhou Army only has enough food and grass for 15 days.
As long as the Qingzhou Army is trapped, the Qingzhou Army will be upset because of the lack of food and grass.
Although Luo Quan was impatient, he couldn't get in touch with Niu Ben, and for the time being he didn't know where to attack.
After all, at this time, only internal and external cooperation can break the encirclement of the barbarians.
He knew very well that with his fifty thousand soldiers and horses, he could not defeat the barbarians and rescue Niu Ben.
However, the situation at this time did not allow him to wait here like this. He had already sent someone to pass the news to Xiao Ming and discuss countermeasures.
When he was thinking about how to arrange the attack, suddenly a cavalry general galloped over.
"General, the barbarians sent 20,000 horses to attack our grain and grass, and the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass suffered heavy casualties. Please send troops to help." The cavalry general panted violently.
The grain and grass of the 150,000 army stretched for dozens of miles, all of which were transported by civilians recruited by Chang'an. The grain and grass were protected by Jinwuwei soldiers.
If the food is cut off, the 150,000 army will not be able to support it for a few days.
Luo Quan asked eagerly: "How is the grain and grass now?"
"General, the final general desperately broke out of the siege, but there are too many barbarian cavalry and light cavalry, coming and going like wind. Although the soldiers resisted desperately, they may not be able to support it for long. Now General Luo Hong is also besieged by the barbarians. Find the general for help."
Luo Quan frowned. The dispatch of troops to Jizhou this time was really difficult internally and externally. They could have relied on Jizhou's city to store food and grass.
However, the cities in the southern part of Jizhou are now occupied by the rebel army, and they can only take food and grass on the expedition.
At this time, the long transportation line will inevitably become the target of the barbarian cavalry, which is also in his expectation.
So he sent elite soldiers to protect the food road.
But the barbarian cavalry is obviously not so easy to deal with.
Thinking of this, he said to a general behind him: "Now you immediately send 10,000 cavalry to help ~ EbookFREE.me~ As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly heard a faint "Woo..." horn.
At this time, a group of generals looked in the direction of Fencheng, and the dense barbarian cavalry appeared in their field of vision.
"Sure enough, Bei Shan is a master of soldiers. He has prevented me from supporting the army and robbed me of the food road. Now he is trying to contain us so that we cannot rush to the food road."
"General, how can this be good?" The cavalry general said worriedly.
Luo Quan frowned, "Grass and grass are the foundation of the conquest. There must be no accidents. You immediately go to help, and I will take care of it here."
"Yes, General."
After all, the cavalry general led ten thousand people and immediately went southwest.
At this time, the barbarian cavalry really charged. They tried to prevent the cavalry from leaving the camp. Luo Quan roared and brought the cavalry forward.
(To be continued.)
