Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Chapter 1197 Famine and Natural Disaster 357

"Go and deliver the order." The war post was thrown on the table. Zhou Ting stood tall, turned around and returned to the sand table.

An San winked at the soldier of the forward battalion. The soldier understood and knelt down to bow before retreating.

After the people left, An San stepped forward and said, "Sir, if we don't accept the battle invitation, the enemy may misinterpret your intentions."

"It's just a few words of ridicule, but it won't lose a piece of meat; war is for victory, not for sacrifice." As soon as he finished speaking nonchalantly, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. An San hurriedly turned around to look, and unexpectedly It was General Huaihua and others.

"General Huaihua, General Zhongwu, General Wude, General Wujie."

An San bowed to the four of them.

General Huaihua waved his hand and bowed in the direction of Zhou Ting, "Commander, have you heard that the Three Kingdoms have announced the war?"

"Hmm." Zhou Tingxu pointed to the table, and An San stepped forward with a tacit understanding, picked up the war invitation, and handed it to General Huaihua and others.

General Huaihua opened it and read it, then closed the post with a 'snap', "Crazy! They are desperate. They have no food and grass, and reinforcements can't come. Commander, they guessed that the person who came out is dead."

Otherwise, we would not adopt a fight to the death attitude.

"Maybe." Zhou Ting looked indifferent and said nothing about it.

"What is the coach's plan?" To accept or not to accept?

Zhou Ting said casually: "If you don't want to pick it up, they can give it to them if they like. Just surround them."

"But in this way, the prestige of our army will be ruined."

General Zhongwu pondered for a moment and said: "The commander, considering the casualties, believes that they are not strong enough to resist, so they should be able to win in one fell swoop. Spending time in the northwest is not a long-term solution, Pingyang Pass also needs to be guarded, and 50,000 troops does not seem to be enough." "Young master, if the Central Plains area doesn't care about the Northwest Pass and attacks directly, the 50,000-strong army will not be able to stop it."

"Exactly, Commander, if we can end the foreign war as soon as possible, we can continue to guard Pingyang Pass." General Huaihua said earnestly.

An San's eyes flashed slightly.

Zhou Ting glanced at them and asked the other two, "What do General Wu De and General Wu Jie think?"

"At the end of the day, you will obey the commander's orders."

The two of them bowed together to express their stance.

Zhou Ting withdrew his gaze and did not show any satisfaction or dissatisfaction. "We have a total of 150,000 people, less than 160,000; these people are the backbone of our Northwest Army. They have undergone long-term training and should not act rashly."

"Commander." General Huaihua still wanted to speak, but Zhou Ting raised his hand to stop him and said: "The northwest is barren and the population is not as large as the Central Plains. It has received a lot of refugees in this year; their food and clothing are still a problem, and conscription is not Smart move.”

The loss of these people is a loss. The newly recruited soldiers need a period of training and running-in, and cannot be put on the battlefield overnight.

General Huaihua shut up angrily.

General Zhongwu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Zhou Ting with a bit of admiration, "The commander's consideration is not unreasonable. The enemy is now like a trapped beast. It is most appropriate for us to slow down the encirclement and suppression; there is no need to The most cost-effective thing is to put the casualties on a group of people who are destined to starve to death. When they are about to starve to death, we can annihilate them in one fell swoop.”

"Five days at most, they won't be able to hold on."

As soon as Zhou Ting said this, General Zhongwu smiled and said respectfully: "What the coach said is that their food and grass have already bottomed out, and their ability to sustain them for so many days is the limit." "Well, the coach feels sorry for the soldiers, no. If there are too many casualties, there is no harm in waiting; however, what is the current situation at Pingyang Pass? Has the commander received any information?" General Huaihua thought about it and felt that he was a little impatient after a few days.

"The person guarding Pingyang Pass is the Zhenguo General. Everything is fine."

General Huaihua felt even more relieved, "That's good. The general who governs the country is good at fighting and has first-class strategies. The general will naturally be trustworthy. It's just that the general is just worried. There are many armies in the Central Plains. If we really attack Pingyang Pass, Pingyang Pass is still a bit weak.”

"The general Zhenguo has already prepared a countermeasure. Even if he really fights us, he can hold out for ten days and a half."

General Zhongwu and General Huaihua nodded in unison. They believed this; if it could delay for ten days and a half, they could also send reinforcements to support, which was enough.

"Okay, you guys should go and keep an eye on the wolf trench in the next few days. Once someone in their army falls, you will send someone to report it as soon as possible."

"Here."

"The general and others will leave."

The four of them came and went in a hurry. Zhou Ting sat in front of the sand table; his fingers kept gesturing back and forth between the Wolf Trench and the current location of the Allied Forces. The place they were stationed was chosen well. Behind them was the entire mountain, and the other side of the mountain. Connecting the Western Regions and the Central Plains.

But it was because of the many dangers in the mountains that they chose not to go through the mountains. Even if the army entered, who could guarantee that they would be able to take this road? There are many venomous snakes and beasts in the deep mountains, and they are also the interface between the northwest and the Central Plains. The climate temperature difference, poisonous weeds in the mountains, and even the miasma formed in the swamps are even more troublesome.

Therefore, no one would choose to waste manpower and material resources on this.

Ning Guo is good at playing poison, but he can't really say that they can deal with all poisonous snakes and beasts, as well as miasma.

"Coach, the people of Ningguo like to play tricks, and our army is also in danger when they fight."

"There's nothing we can do about it. There are dozens or hundreds of types of poisonous insects, so we can't deal with them accurately. We can only find Marshal Ning Guo and their poisonous poisonous masters during the war." There is no way to avoid the poisonous poisonous insects from hurting people. They Only capture as many people as possible.

An San's eyes dimmed slightly, "Every time we face Ning Guo, their poisonous insects always give us a headache. No one in our army understands poisonous insects, and there is no way to solve them."

Zhou Ting glanced at him, why didn't he feel uncomfortable?

Gu is a unique method of Ningguo. They sent people to Ningguo but could not find out the reason. "Gus are mysterious. Even if the person who has been infected by the voodoo pulls out the infected voodoo immediately, the eggs will remain in the body; The reproductive capacity of insect eggs is too strong. Once we are infected, we will definitely die.”

An San thought about the battle reports he heard in the past and hated the Gu insects, but he could do nothing about it.

"Commander, Gu Insects can use fire attacks, but fire attacks can only ignite a small fire. It would be great if the ground could be made to burn in pieces. Gu Insects cannot survive where there is fire."

This is also the only method they have found so far to restrain the Gu insects.

It's funny to say that this crude method is the only way.

Zhou Ting was silent, the ground was burning in patches, and it wasn't a place full of weeds and dead grass. How could this be possible?

"Stand back." He waved his hand and stopped talking about the Gu insects.

An Sanzuo bowed and resigned, "Here, my subordinates retire."

He was the only one in the tent, and Zhou Ting couldn't help but fall into deep thought; the swamp was flammable, but there was no swamp in the Wolf Trench, so the way to make the ground burn was kerosene. However, there is not much storage of such kerosene in the northwest, so it must be used for people's livelihood.

The relationship between the northwest and the Central Plains was severed. The imperial supply was gone, and it was difficult for merchants to do business in the Central Plains. Buying and selling things took great risks, let alone buying kerosene, and it was also difficult to transport salt and grain.
