Chapter 304 The Second Food Robbery
But he knew that if the army attacked from this distance, there was no guarantee that they could wipe out all the enemies.
He wanted to wait until they came close before taking action, but not only did they stop and say nothing, they also waved flags in a mysterious way. They were so vigilant that Nangong Min was at a loss for a moment.
Before Bai Li could answer, the other party told him.
"Were you sent by the King of Jin to collect the grain?"
"Yes, the Prince of Jin is waiting to welcome you in the barracks!"
Bai Li spoke in a deliberately rough voice.
"Who are you? Why do you look so unfamiliar?"
"Brother, there are so many brothers in the barracks, it's normal that you haven't seen me."
The person on the other end fell silent, as if considering the truthfulness of Bai Li's words.
"I was promoted by King Jin to deputy general because of my hard work in the recent wars. It's not surprising that you don't know about this, brother."
Bai Li added another sentence, and now the other party had no more scruples and walked towards them.
Nangong Min finally let go of the heart that had been in his throat.
Bai Li waved his hand and asked people to disperse and retreat to the side of the road, making way for the people and cars on the opposite side.
Now they had even less scruples, and the hundreds of soldiers leading the way walked straight to Bai Li.
"You've worked hard all the way, let us pull the cart?"
Behind them followed a carriage loaded with bags.
On each cart, bags were piled up like a mountain and covered with thick oil paper. Each soldier walked by holding the reins of the horse, and only sat on the cart for a while when he was tired.
"Our camp is just ahead. We'll be there in less than a quarter of an hour."
Bai Li spoke, and the soldiers under his command hurriedly took over the reins.
The man holding the horse looked at the leader of the escort team, and seeing that he had no objection, he loosened his hand on the reins.
Bai Li and others respectfully let them walk in front, their attitude was as humble as possible.
The food delivery team had come a long way in fear, but they were so warmly welcomed by the friendly forces that all their fatigue was gone and they felt refreshed.
Just when they all relaxed their vigilance and walked to the front and kept a distance of more than ten steps from the convoy, Bai Li waved her hand, and the people she brought all drew their bows and crossbows, and shot a wave of crossbow arrows at the defenseless Simon army in front.
"Ah! Run! They're fake..."
The man who was shot by the arrow fell to the ground before he could finish his words. Bai Li drew out his machete and rushed towards the chaotic team in front.
She was holding a huge machete weighing a hundred pounds, and no one could stop her wherever she went. Those who encountered her either lost their heads or half of their bodies. Her extremely ferocious moves scared Simon's army so much that their legs and feet became weak and their hearts and gallbladders were broken!
“Kill!”
Nangong Min was not willing to fall behind. At this time, his private soldiers were intercepting in front. He raised his sword and followed Bai Li closely. Blood and flesh flew wherever they passed. The two of them cleared a bloody path for the soldiers behind them.
Although Simon's army had 50,000 men, half of them were shot down by crossbows at the beginning, and then they were attacked fiercely. Many people were killed by the sword before they could react.
In this battle, Bai Li led more than 10,000 people and won the victory in a swift and fierce manner.
Finally, under Bai Li's persuasion, hundreds of soldiers threw away their weapons and surrendered.
"Hurry, let's get the supplies into the city!"
Bai Li waved his hand, and the soldiers took two people to each cart, one holding the horse and the other helping to push the cart from behind, and they quickly headed towards Qinzhou City.
King Jin hid in the bamboo forest and avoided several waves of attacks, feeling extremely grateful.
Little did he know that his life-saving food and supplies, the second batch of supplies, had been robbed and were passing through the path outside the bamboo forest and entering the Qinzhou city gate.
Bai Li followed behind and watched all the convoys enter the city gate before lighting a firework to send a signal.
When Bai Zongren and Bai Zongrui saw the signal, they fired a wave of crossbow arrows into the bamboo forest, bluffing and challenging each other before quietly leaving.
After a long time, King Jin heard no movement outside, so he sent a sentry to ask questions.
"About an hour ago, the enemy fired a wave of crossbow arrows and left."
"Are you sure they're gone?"
The King of Jin was still worried that they were cheating, so he set up an ambush somewhere and shot arrows at them as soon as they showed up.
He was really afraid of the crossbows of the Great Zhou. He didn't know how they were made, but they had a long range and great power.
The range of their bows and arrows is only about 500 meters, but theirs is ten times that of theirs!
As soon as they go out, they become sitting ducks. No matter how good their kung fu is or how many traps they use, they will be of no use. They can only abandon their weapons and flee for their lives!
The King of Jin was filled with hatred, but he could do nothing about them.
He once spent a large sum of money to buy their crossbows through spies and brought them back for research, but no craftsman in the entire Simon could make the same crossbow.
This was also his original intention, to get Bai Li even at the cost of offending the Great Zhou.
"Send out five hundred people to investigate the surrounding area!"
In order to reduce casualties, King Jin was cautious and prudent.
His deputy general Wang Yong led the troops out, but soon returned in a panic. When he saw the King of Jin, he was speechless.
"Wang Yong, what's going on?"
Wang Yong was shocked and anxious, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. It was the soldier who came back with him who spoke.
"Report, report to the King of Jin, our food supplies... were robbed!"
Prince Jin grabbed Wang Yong by the collar and asked sternly, "Are you serious?!"
“Really…really!”
Wang Yong stuttered but finally managed to utter a word.
Prince Jin's eyes went dark, he staggered a few times, and only grabbed Wang Yong's shoulders to avoid falling.
"Jin, King Jin, please take care of yourself!"
Prince Jin is their heaven. What Wang Yong is most worried about now is that Prince Jin will fall, and they will have no way to survive!
"puff!"
The King of Jin was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood and slowly fell down.
As he fell, Wang Yong heard him mutter, "It's over! It's all over now!"
"Prince Jin, Prince Jin!"
"Quickly call the military doctor!"
Wang Yong was terrified. Compared to what he had just seen, the fall of King Jin now frightened him even more.
The Jin King's barracks were in chaos, while the people in Qinzhou City cheered and celebrated their victory with singing and dancing.
In the government office, Bai Li had just sat down and taken a sip of water when he couldn't wait to share his achievements with other deputy generals.
"The success of this grain robbery is largely due to the contributions of both Qiangzhou and Chizhou. I have decided to divide this batch of grain into three parts and distribute them to Qinzhou, Qiangzhou, and Chizhou!"
Nangong Min had already torn off his ill-fitting clothes on the road. Now seeing Bai Li still wearing the Simon Army's clothes, he urged her to change quickly.
"Should we send people to deliver food to Qiangzhou and Chizhou?"
"Yes, and I will deliver it myself."
Bai Li didn't go back to the room, but directly reached out to unbutton his clothes.
When others saw this, they quickly turned their backs. Nangong Min couldn't do anything about her, so he stood up and stood in front of her, using his body to block other people's sight.
