Chapter 389 0384 [Running for Food]
"Sir, the one named Zhe has sent someone to make trouble for food again."
"Didn't you give it to him two days ago?"
"It's said that it's finished, but Mr. Xiang didn't distribute enough food."
"Give him another five hundred shi."
"Please sign and issue with the official seal."
"..."
The reason why the soldiers stationed at Xiegu Pass wanted to escape, apart from repeated defeats on the front line and countless prisoners in front of them, the most important reason was that there was not enough food!
Countless military rations were transported to the front line, all of which were already cheap for Ju Ming.
And here in the planting division is just the starting point for grain transportation.
It is more than enough to supply the gatekeepers, but it is impossible to suddenly bring back [-] remnants.Meals have been reduced for the past few days, and soldiers with a little experience in the Western Army can guess that there must be not enough food.
Insufficient food and grass means that the army is about to be defeated, so they are all quietly packing their bags.
The planting division had already sent people to urge the grain, and Gao Qiu could not conjure it out of thin air, so he could only send people to the Shaanxi Shipping Department to ask for grain.
More than 7000 Zhejia troops returned safely, and five hundred shi of food was only enough for two or three days.This is still based on the premise of reducing meals, and eating normally for a day will be gone.
According to the official records of the Northern Song Dynasty, the average daily food consumption of each soldier was 2.7 liters, which is about four to five catties in conversion.No matter how many people are corrupted in the middle, at least the data is reliable. In a battle without oil and water, it is normal for a strong man to eat four catties of grain.
Seeing that the captives were about to repair the plank road, the Zhejia army suddenly started to fight for food.
On the one hand, it is really troublesome, the reduced meals have already reduced the hunger.
On the one hand, due to the indulgence that can be obtained, the disturbance is very organized.
Not only is the Zhejia army making food noise, but the Zhongjia army is also complaining.
Because there is still some food, in order to keep guard for a long time, the planting division only gives a little bit of food every day.
On average, the daily food of soldiers is only more than half a catty.Calculated based on two meals a day, one meal is only a few meters, and there is not much oil or water to ingest.
In addition, Zhe Keqiu not only brought back soldiers, but also brought back a large number of food transporters. These people also need to eat!
The planting division invited Zhejia generals to a meeting, mainly to discuss the issue of military rations.
Just at this time, the soldiers came to report in surprise, saying that Zhong Yansong had returned by boat.
The meeting ended hastily, and Zhong Zhong rushed to see him. After careful questioning, he found out that most of his relatives were still alive.
Overjoyed, Master Zhong asked, "Did Zhu thief ask you to persuade him to surrender?"
Zhong Yansong shook his head: "Zhu... Zhu thief didn't make things difficult, and he didn't ask me to persuade him to surrender, he just asked me to come back to report his safety."
"It's a good report!" Teacher Zhong was completely convinced.
That cunning Zhu thief, all the tricks he used were ulterior motives, and his moves made you understand his intentions, but you had no way to resolve them.
The reason why Zhong Yansong was released was very simple, it just weakened the will to resist among the teachers.And it also showed that he was holding a bunch of seedling generals, so that the seedling masters would be afraid of them.
Zhong Yansong said in a low voice: "Zhu Thief only wants to pass through Xiegu Pass. Once he passes through, he will release all the generals."
The teacher sighed: "How can I let him pass?"
Zhong Yansong didn't speak any more, as the children of the Zhong family have been educated since they were young.Not loyal to any emperor, but loyal to the Song court.
At this moment, there was a noise from behind, and it was estimated that there were soldiers arguing for food.
The middle class knows that it is a trick that can only be sought. It is normal to make troubles in the army, but it is nonsense to make troubles every day. It is impossible without the connivance of the chief general.
"It's not good, it's not good!"
"Soldiers of the Zhejia army making food noise, opened the north city gate and ran away!"
The middle division was about to lead troops to repress it, when suddenly the available soldiers rushed over: "The soldiers ran away short of food, and my husband took people to chase them. My husband said, please be careful to guard Xiegu Pass, he It only takes a few days to capture all the deserters.”
There was nothing left to say among the plantation divisions. The reason why the Zhejia army abandoned the pass and escaped was too fresh and refined.
He can only be impeached afterwards, and he can also be impeached if he asks for it, saying that his embezzlement of food and grass caused the family army to quarrel and flee.
After the war, they just dumped each other.
The Zhejia army of more than 7000 people opened Guancheng and fled north.Although it was a mess on the surface, the grassroots military units were not in chaos, and all the soldiers were running around, and each of them was carrying luggage.
Two or three miles out of the customs, the terrain suddenly opened up.
One or two hundred Zhejia soldiers gathered in a group and ran towards the north in a fan shape.
Zhe Keqiu pretended to lead his own soldiers in pursuit, and fled northward from the west of Mei County in a hurry, and some even passed directly outside the city.
Liu Kai, who led troops stationed in Mei County, was shocked. He thought that Xiegu Pass had been lost, so he quickly ordered to strictly guard the city of Mei County, and at the same time sent people to Xiegu Pass to inquire about the situation.
Before Tanma got close to the mouth of Xiegu, he saw soldiers from countless families also escaped.
The Zhe family army and the Zhong family army could not be suppressed anymore. There was one reason for the early escape: the captives were about to build the plank road.If you escape at that time, you will definitely not be able to take your belongings with you, and you may even die in a daze.
Of course, the Western Army can stick to Xiegu Pass and let the prisoners cry and not let them in.
But there is not enough food and grass, at most one more month will stop the food!
Escaping when there is no food, and running without food are two completely different concepts.
Tanma didn't dare to go any further, so he hurried back to Mei County, and said to Liu Kai, "The Zhong family's army has also fled, and Xiegu Pass has been lost!"
Liu Kai was not so frightened that he led his troops back to Fengxiang, but only sent someone there to report to Gao Qiu. He decided to defend Mei County first and buy time for Gao Qiu to set up a line of defense.
Half a day later, a group of remnants from the planting division rushed to Mei County to call the gate outside the city.
Liu Kai hung the planter in the hanging basket and asked, "Why did Xiegu Pass suddenly fall?"
The division deliberately concealed the matter of the captives, and did not mention what they could do, and pushed everything to the military rations: "Xieguguan has not much food and grass, and the soldiers and civilians who fled back from the front consume countless things every day. Continuously The food was reduced for many days, and the soldiers rioted over food, which is really hard to suppress."
Liu Qi suddenly realized that it was because of food, which is too common.
Over the years, the imperial court has dispatched many archers (country soldiers) from Shaanxi to Hehuang to guard the border.Because of lack of food, the archers fled every now and then, and the escape rate of soldiers in each fort exceeded 50%.
Liu Kai asked again, "How many bandits have come?"
How did the Zhongshi know this? He didn't even see the shadow of the bandits, so he speculated wildly: "It is estimated that there are 5 to [-]. If the bandits hide their troops, it may be [-] to [-]."
Saying is tantamount to not saying, Liu Qi is quite speechless.
Zhongshi said: "Wei County must be defended, otherwise Baoji and Yuyu will be lost, and the western army on Chencang Road and Tangluo Road will be cut off from retreating."
The urban area of Baoji in the Northern Song Dynasty was called Baoji, and the Chencang District of Baoji City was called Guo County.
Zhu Ming led his troops to fight out from Xiegu, if they occupy Mei County.To the east, you can take a boat to attack Yuwu, to the west, you can take a boat to attack Baoji, and to the northwest, you can go to Fengxiangfu City where Gao Lian is located.
Even if Liu Kai only has [-] soldiers in his hands, he still has to take his life to defend Mei County to the death!
Zhong Shizhong suggested: "Gao Taiwei doesn't have many soldiers in his hands. Instead of dividing his troops to defend Fengxiang and Mei County, it is better to move the commander's mansion to Mei County and gather all the troops to defend here."
Liu Kai muttered: "Although what you say is reasonable, I'm afraid that Taiwei Gao will not come."
When Gao Qiu learned of the military situation ahead, he was shocked and quickly sent troops to rescue Mei County.
But he didn't dare to come to Mei County himself, so he just let the troops come.
Once Mei County fell, Gao Lian immediately ran away, and even asked his followers to pack his belongings.
Just when Liu Kai was defending Mei County to the death, a cart of soft goods was transported from Fengxiang to Chang'an.
In addition to Gao Qiu's embezzled military salary, and the money obtained by the supervisor Li Xun, they all knew that they couldn't stop the rebels.I just hope that the front line will be blocked for a few more days, so that the money in hand can be transported away smoothly.
Two days later, tens of thousands of prisoners were released and rushed back to their hometown in droves.
They didn't stop passing through Mei County, and even looted villages along the way, because each person had three buckets of food, and it was impossible to escape home.
Liu Kai and the Zhongshi led troops to intercept, at least hundreds of people were stopped, and they were all dragged to separate camps near Mei County—for fear of being mixed with spies, they dared not bring them into the city.
Another day later, Zhu Ming led the army and came slowly.
The attack on Mei County is false, and the surprise attack on Guancheng on Chencang Road and Tangluo Road is true.Two thousand elites have been sent to attack the east and west Guancheng. The main attack on Mei County is purely to divert attention.
At this moment, Liu Xi has brought troops to help, and eight thousand western troops have been stationed in Mei County.
Iron cast heavy cannons could not be brought, only some tiger crouching cannons, and Zhu Ming ordered to cut down trees to make leveling cannons.
During the production of siege equipment, Zhu Ming sent people to call for battle every day, and Zhong Shizhong, Liu Xi, and Liu Kai could not defend.
A few days later, Gong Bin, who led a surprise attack on Dasan Pass, fled back with the remnants of his troops in embarrassment. He knelt in front of Zhu Ming covered in blood and said, "I failed the surprise attack. The ambush came out only when we got outside the pass. I was surrounded from front to back, and with 600 soldiers, I only brought back more than [-] after fighting desperately."
"Get up, it's not your fault." Zhu Ming sighed.
Gong Bin is an old man who followed Zhu Ming to destroy Heifengzhai. Because of the difficult life, his whole family took refuge in Daming Village.
The troops he brought to surprise Dasan Pass were all elite rebels. Two thousand soldiers were ambushed and surrounded, and more than 600 soldiers were enough to come back.
"The person stationed at Dasan Pass is a good general. You actually guessed that I would send someone to raid the pass." After Zhu Ming decided to negotiate peace, he forcibly demanded the unknown general from the imperial court.
This is the biggest loss since Ju Ming raised his army, because all the elites died.
Great Sanguan.
Guard Yao Fan said with lingering fear: "Thanks to Jin Qing's vigilance, otherwise Dasan Pass would fall, and my brother's 2-strong army would not be able to come back."
Wu Jie replied: "It is the general who commanded properly."
Yao Fan smiled and said: "When this battle is over, I will reward you personally."
Wu Jie said: "I'm afraid that meritorious service will not be rewarded. This time it must be a big defeat for the officers and soldiers. Those thieves and soldiers are too brave. They can form an ambush and fight in formations. They forcefully break out of the siege and hundreds of people. If there are [-] thieves Elites, they are not afraid to fight the Western Army head-on."
Yao Fan said: "Since it's a surprise attack, it's natural to send elite soldiers here, and bandits don't have many such elite soldiers."
Yao Gu has almost finished repairing the plank road, and the whole person is irritated by tossing.
After receiving Gao Lian's military order, he immediately returned to the army at full speed. His soldiers and horses did not suffer much damage, only some were shot to death while repairing the plank road.
After all, Yao Gu spent the whole time doing infrastructure construction in Chencang Road.
