Giant Elephant Legion Camp, Quartermaster Camp.
In the darkness, several figures flashed by, crossed the simple fence, and headed towards the nearest granary.
Not long after the black shadow flashed by, more than a dozen black shadows followed from behind.
Amir crouched down and paid attention to the patrol's movements. When he saw the patrol passing by, he quickly approached the granary.
He has reached the point of no return.
After the system prompted the Giant Elephant Legion to set out, he chose to bring ten days of food with him.
I thought he was in good enough condition to attack Savatthi.
As a result, the Bactria army in Savatthi fled without a fight.
In his excitement, he didn't care about the supply of food and grass, and continued to pursue with the giant elephant army.
However, just yesterday afternoon, all the food and supplies he had with him were used up.
They are volunteers and are not part of the system legion, so the system legion will not provide them with food and fodder.
Today he had wanted to get some food in the villages along the way and hold out until the battle of Tashashi Luo City started, but he found that the villages along the way were all in ruins, all the food had been taken away by the Daxia Legion, even the bird eggs in the bird nests on the trees had been taken away.
With the food and grass cut off, the system prompts that he is in a hungry state and his combat effectiveness is continuously declining. Now they are still three days away from the city of Tachashi Luo. If he does not eat within these three days, he will starve to death and be eliminated.
He came to participate in the national war, but starved to death before even going to the battlefield. His death was too pathetic.
Unable to find food replenishment, they had no choice but to resort to this last resort and sneak into the current granary of the Giant Elephant Legion.
He only needs three days of food and grass to hold out until the battle of Taxashi Luo City. As long as he defeats the Daxia Legion, he can replenish food and grass around Taxashi Luo City. Or if he dies in the battle of Taxashi Luo City, the food and grass will be meaningless.
Three days of food.
Seeing the other patrolmen walking away, Amir gently cut open the food bag and took the food with the bag he had prepared.
"Brother, are you out of food too?" A player next to him came over and, like Amir, quickly cut open the food bag to fill it with food, his eyes looking around from time to time.
In just one minute, seven or eight people gathered where Amir was, frantically taking food.
"Enemy attack."
"Enemy attack, capture him."
Several sharp voices were heard, and the entire quartermaster camp surged, and the sound of swords clashing spread.
The player who sneaked in to steal food, upon hearing the sound, would not care about anything else and would just pick up the food bag and run away.
Amir quickly put away the bag and retreated towards the fence where he had sneaked in. He ran out of the quartermaster camp and saw a fire lit up at the granary.
…
Someone stole the food? There's not enough food?
When Busheyemitra heard the quartermaster's report, there was an expression of disbelief on his face.
It was still three days' journey to the city of Tachashilo. The quartermaster told him that thieves had stolen food last night. During the fight, the thieves had burned down a granary, created chaos and escaped.
The food and fodder they had left was only enough to sustain their main army for three days.
This meant that once they arrived at Takshiloh, they only had one day to attack.
When it comes to marching and fighting, lack of food is a very terrible thing.
"Why is this happening?" Busheyemitra grabbed the quartermaster's collar and asked.
"I don't know either."
The quartermaster's face was filled with fear, and he was almost crying.
"Food was already in short supply, and those rebels, having run out of food, came to steal. Some of them were incredibly skilled, like rats, and because they were so numerous, they couldn't catch them. We caught a few thieves last night, and during the fight, the thieves took advantage of the chaos to set the granary on fire, creating confusion and escaping."
"Asshole." Busheyemitra was furious. "Go to the villages along the way to collect food and fodder. I will send troops to strengthen the defense of the granary."
"General, the food supplies from all the villages along the way have been taken away by the Daxia Army. Any food that couldn't be transported was burned. We can't gather much."
"Unable to recruit?"
"Yes, the Daxia army destroyed all the villages and stocks along the way, and took away all the food."
hiss~
At this moment, Busheyemitra realized the seriousness of the problem.
The rebel army brought food with them, but it was only enough for ten days or half a month. They had to pursue Huang Zhong's troops over a long march and the consumption was huge.
By now the food brought by the rebels has probably been exhausted.
The food in the villages along the way was taken away and destroyed by the Daxia soldiers, leaving no food supply.
The rebel army had no choice but to steal food.
"Is there any other way to replenish food supplies?"
"None." The quartermaster shook his head with a bitter face. "It takes seven days to transport food to the nearest city, and..."
"And what?"
Busheyemitra was a little impatient with the quartermaster's hesitation.
"We can only transport food for the main army, but the rebel army is almost out of food now. It's impossible to collect and transport food for a 100 million-strong army."
Ten or twenty thousand people would be fine, but if they came with the army, there would be a legion of one hundred million.
Thinking of this, Busheyemitra trembled all over, and his hands were unable to hold the quartermaster. He subconsciously let go of him and fell to the ground.
It’s over!
Previously, he was immersed in the power and joy of the huge army, but only now did he realize the horror of a 100 million-strong army.
If they run out of food and mutinied, their main army would only have 4 million men, and it would be impossible for them to suppress the 100 million rebels. Even if all their swords were broken, they would not be able to kill so many people.
Once this happens, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But without food, there is no way to cope.
Dead end.
"besides……"
"What else do you have to say? Say it all at once." Busheyemitra said angrily.
"The rebels are running out of food. They might even go to the granary tonight to steal food," the quartermaster said with a bitter face. "Without food, they'll be left with nowhere else to go."
