The messenger dismounted and shouted excitedly:
"Marshal! The food has arrived!
Dozens of grain and fodder transport vehicles have already passed the South City Gate and will be here soon!"
The soldiers had been starving for days and could no longer bear it!
They don’t know how long they will have to endure this kind of life!
The battlefield is ruthless. They are afraid that they will not be able to eat a full meal before they die in battle, and they will starve to death in hell!
Even though we won the battle today, there are still many people who are secretly retreating!
Upon hearing the words of the soldier who brought the news, the soldiers of the three armies couldn't help but cheer excitedly!
Qi Moli's heart was hanging in the air, but he did not let it go. He frowned and asked:
"Who is here to transport the food?"
Before the soldier who brought the message could open his mouth, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.
In the light of the campfire, everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man riding a horse towards them!
The soldier shouted, "The man who's transporting the grain is none other than Lord Zhao!"
Qi Moli had already seen who was coming by now!
This person is not an escort officer at all, he is clearly the shopkeeper under my little girl, Zhao Yu!
Zhao Yu dismounted and strode towards Qi Moli!
After he knelt down and saluted, he looked up and saw that the usually calm prince was now filled with shock!
Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh:
"Your Majesty, our boss sent me here to bring you something. Look!"
As he spoke, he turned sideways and pointed behind him!
In the light of the bonfire, one could see carriages loaded with grain slowly coming towards this side!
Soon, someone asked doubtfully:
"What's that noise?"
Zhao Yu looked at the man and explained:
"Our boss said that the soldiers bravely fought bravely and bravely, so he specially sent us 50,000 dan of rice and 1,000 sheep!
Of course, the specific disposal of these things will still depend on the military's arrangements."
It’s great to have rice to eat!
When they heard that there were more sheep, tens of thousands of soldiers cheered for a moment!
The princess donated both grain and sheep, and her reputation for domineering and powerfulness quickly spread throughout the army!
Especially the soldiers of the Cavalry and Archery Battalion in the Western Suburbs Camp, they all straightened their backs!
The princess personally taught them how to use archery and crossbows!
Qi Moli listened to the bleating of the sheep and felt as if his heart was suddenly filled with joy!
He had never experienced such a surprise of timely help.
He looked at Zhao Yu and asked:
"When did your boss arrange this?"
If his guess was correct, this batch of food would probably be delivered on the same day as the army set out!
Zhao Yu said truthfully:
"As early as the day before the army set out, the boss arranged for me to go north to collect grain and buy sheep.
I wonder if I am too late?"
Qi Moli heard this and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's not too late, you came at the right time, thank you for your hard work!"
His thoughts went back to the day before the army set out.
That afternoon, he waited for the little girl for a long time before he saw her figure. He even told her that he was almost turning into a wife-waiting stone!
Then the little girl looked annoyed, threw herself into his arms, and said softly that she was wrong.
Qi Moli couldn't help but smile when he thought about this. What a little fool! How could he blame her?
I think she arranged this matter during that time.
Lei Ling and Lei Heng, who were standing next to Qi Moli, were dumbfounded when they saw this!
Our own marshal is really a man who cannot be kept alive!
When he heard the word "Princess", the corners of his mouth almost reached the sky!
Zhao Yu bowed to Lan Xiangkun again and said:
"Master, the boss has something to tell you and King Mo Ying."
Lan Xiangkun heard this, exchanged glances with Qi Moli, then looked at Zhao Yu and said with a smile:
"Is Xing'er telling us to take care of ourselves?"
Zhao Yu shook his head slightly and said:
"The boss said that if she makes a mistake in the future, please forgive her!"
Lan Xiangkun frowned slightly and asked doubtfully:
"Xing'er is fine in the capital. What kind of mistake did she commit? Why do we have to wait until the prince and I return to the capital to deal with her?"
He said this, but in his heart he was thinking, how big a crime could a little girl commit?
This child just loves to daydream!
Qi Moli narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling that the little girl seemed to have hidden meaning in her words, but he couldn't guess it for the moment, so he stopped thinking about it.
The soldiers helped the guys who were transporting the grain to unload the rice, and then drove the sheep to a collapsed empty house and kept them in a pen.
With the arrival of food and sheep, tens of thousands of soldiers were full of energy and fighting spirit!
Lei Heng shouted in a loud voice:
"Marshal! We'll capture another city tomorrow. Can you kill a few sheep for our brothers to enjoy?"
Upon hearing this, Qi Moli looked around, summoned his inner strength, and said loudly:
"All officers and men, listen to my orders!
Tomorrow we'll capture Qingluo City and kill a hundred sheep to celebrate!"
One hundred sheep, at first glance, seems like a lot!
But even if it is distributed to the 80,000-strong army, each person can only get half a bowl of meat!
But even so, the soldiers still cheered and rubbed their hands, ready for a big battle tomorrow!
In the next three days, the Longyin army marched straight in and recaptured the three cities in one fell swoop!
The soldiers got to eat mutton and drink mutton soup as they wished!
Just when the soldiers of the three armies were full of confidence and ready to recapture another city, they found that it was not as easy as before!
When the Hanlan cavalry launched an attack on the first few cities, the people still had time to flee south.
As for the remaining two cities, due to the sudden outbreak of war, the people had no time to react and most of them stayed in the city!
This means that the Longyin army cannot attack the city rashly!
Qi Moli led his army and stationed on the south bank of the Fen River, three miles south of Yunling County, and did not dare to move forward.
The two deputy generals, Lan Xiangkun and Lei Ling, dismounted and stepped into the tent!
After the two of them clasped their fists and saluted, Lei Ling spoke first:
"Marshal, according to reports from our scouts ahead, more and more Yunling civilians are on the city wall!
These bastards are threatening the lives of the people of Longyin. What should we do? "
Qi Moli raised his eyebrows, pointed at the map in front of him, and said:
"Yunling County is located on high ground, and with the Fen River blocking the way, it is extremely difficult to conquer!
Now, the army is controlled by tens of thousands of civilians in the city.
Since the open way doesn't work, let's do it secretly!"
The three of them discussed in the military tent for a full half hour!
On the opposite side, in Yunling County, in the Hanlan military camp.
A man in black stood with his hands behind his back and said in a cold voice:
"Uncle, haven't you fought Qi Moli many times before? You should be familiar with his fighting style, right?
Why did they lose six cities in six days?"
