Chapter 980: Dealing with the Granary

But Lin Ji didn't say much, he just nodded.

He just had to follow orders.

Lin Ji did not delay any longer and acted quickly.

He dispatched one of the teams and began to settle the people in an orderly manner.

In order to better supervise them, he naturally followed the prince's instructions and settled these civilians at a certain distance from the army.

The army in front has not stopped advancing.

They knew that the war was about to begin and they would soon reach their own battlefield.

While Lin Ji was arranging these people, the middle-aged man who had come forward to ask Pei Chuyan for help looked at the young woman next to him, and a smile of success flashed in their eyes.

This time Pei Chuyan was indeed right. They approached Pei Chuyan and his group for their own purposes.

Lin Ji has always been by Pei Chuyan's side, and Pei Chuyan is quite confident in him.

Since I have already informed him of this matter in a serious manner, he will definitely be able to handle it properly.

Although he didn't know what their purpose was, Pei Chuyan felt more at ease now that he had them under control.

As long as they are in our hands, no matter what they do, it will be done under our noses.

Anyway, with the secret guards around him, he would not let them escape.

Pei Chuyan no longer put too much of his energy on those people, but instead focused more on the battlefield ahead.

Actually, the situation in the south is more complicated than that in the west.

It was also because the soldiers in the south had been on high alert for many years, so they were able to rely on their own fighting power to stop the enemy from advancing.

We lost a city in the south, but the enemy did not have heavy troops guarding it, so it would be easy to recapture it.

Although only one city was lost, another problem arose.

The granary outside the city had already been occupied by the enemy.

When the two sides are at war, the most important thing, besides combat effectiveness, is naturally the subsequent supplies.

At present, the Dali Kingdom is not short of food.

However, these granaries are controlled by the enemy and will inevitably become a powerful source of supplies for the enemy.

If we want to end this battle as soon as possible, we still have to cut off their supplies.

At the very least, the granaries of their Dali Kingdom must not be used to feed the enemy.

For now, there is only one option.

That is to deal with this granary.

If the food in the granary cannot be used for one's own benefit, then destroy it.

After he proposed this idea to the deputy general beside him, the deputy general nodded solemnly to express his agreement with Pei Chuyan.

Naturally, he also volunteered to deal with the granary matter himself, but Pei Chuyan decisively rejected him.

The matter of the granary was of great importance, and Pei Chuyan was actually not confident in handing it over to his deputy general, as the deputy general was now old.

The reason for bringing this deputy general to the battlefield this time is simply because we hope that he can guard the rear and stabilize the morale of the army.

He shook his head solemnly at the deputy general and said, "You just stay here and hold your ground. I will personally lead the people to deal with the granary matter."

The deputy general naturally refused to agree.

Not to mention that the position of general is of vital importance, Pei Chuyan is now the emperor of the Dali Kingdom.

If something goes wrong with him, how can we continue the war?

He argued with Pei Chuyan, but Pei Chuyan was patient: "The deputy general is already old now, and you have made great contributions to the Dali Kingdom over the years."

"The reason I brought you along for this battle is because I needed you to stabilize the morale of the troops. Also, I need some help from someone around me."

Although the deputy general was touched, he still disagreed with Pei Chuyan going.

Pei Chuyan knew that he would not be able to persuade him with his own strength.

He simply used his status as a general to pressure him: "Just follow my orders, Deputy General. I will take care of the rest."

For a moment, the deputy general looked up at him in surprise, unable to refute.

Finally, several people had no choice but to nod and agree to let Pei Chuyan go and handle the matter.

After nightfall, Pei Chuyan led a well-trained troop with him and headed to the granary under the cover of darkness.

Today, Pei Chuyan was wearing a black armor.

Perhaps it was in order to better blend into the night, not only Pei Chuyan, but also the soldiers following him did the same.

They were all in high spirits. The war hadn't even started yet and this could be considered the first battle.

Although their mission was not to engage in a real battle with the enemy.

But they also knew that this battle was crucial.

Firstly, as long as they succeed in destroying the granary, the enemy will have no food left and may retreat after a long time.

Secondly, winning this battle would be a great start for them and would also boost morale.

That night, they set out quietly and like ghosts towards the granary occupied by the enemy.

Everyone in the entire team remained on high alert.

After approaching the granary, Pei Chuyan stopped.

The people behind him did not make any sound and had already quietly ambushed around him.

He had already sent people to check the deployment in this area, so he only called three people to go and observe again.

"Be careful not to alarm the enemy."

Because they didn't want to cause too much noise, only a very small number of people were dispatched tonight.

If they want to win in a very short time, they have to use surprise tactics and defeat the enemy with fewer troops.

After the three of them left, Pei Chuyan led the soldiers behind him and waited patiently.

During this time, his eyes were naturally fixed in the direction of the granary.

Soon, as the reconnaissance team came back to report the opponent's defense situation, Pei Chuyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Perhaps because they have occupied this granary for a long time, their defenses have become somewhat lax.

Their purpose tonight is not to kill people or to steal food.

Their purpose was to destroy the granary.

Although as a general and an emperor of a country, Pei Chuyan felt a little distressed when the food was destroyed.

However, it is much better than falling into the hands of the enemy.

The enemy seemed to have already prepared for Pei Chuyan and his group to come and seize the granary, so they set up many obstacles around the granary.

The purpose is to wait for Pei Chuyan and others to come and compete for it.

This is why they are so lax.

Therefore, if we want to complete this task in the shortest possible time, we should directly destroy the granary.

Pei Chuyan naturally didn't want to spend most of his military forces on this.

After thinking for a moment, he divided the soldiers behind him into several groups and prepared to approach the granary from different directions.

He himself was accompanied by a group of soldiers to attract the enemy's attention.
