Even so, it was not easy for him to take his men to get food and fodder from the people of Beimo.
But even though he knew there was danger, he had to take the risk. After all, if he didn't find a way to get food and fodder, the army would not be able to hold on.
Xie Qichen took two thousand elite soldiers and took advantage of the darkness of night to sneak into the place where the Beimo people stored their grain.
Even though it was dark, the thick snow on the ground made it possible to continue on the journey without a torch.
Three hours later, Xie Qichen and his two thousand elite soldiers finally reached their destination.
After finding the place, Xie Qichen discovered that the Beimo people's guard was very lax, and he didn't have to spend much effort to get outside the cave where the food and grass were stored.
"General, I will send my brothers in to bring in the food."
"Wait a minute, I always feel something is wrong, I'm afraid there is something fishy going on."
"What should we do then? Are we still going to fight?"
Xie Qichen looked at the piles of food and fodder stored in Shandong and would not let them go easily.
"Now that I'm here, there's no reason to be so stubborn."
"But General, I also feel something is wrong. Don't you find that our journey here has been too smooth?"
"Of course I know. Not only were we not stopped, but even the storage area for food and fodder was barely guarded. It's clear something's amiss. I suspect there are two reasons for this. One is that the people of Beimo are overconfident, thinking there won't be any problems with food and fodder here. The other is that Beimo knows how serious the situation is in the city and doesn't take us seriously."
"Damn it! I never thought that I, Wang Meng, would become such a coward one day."
"Okay, stop talking. Time is urgent. Let's act quickly."
"Yes, General."
Wang Meng led his men into the cave and directed them to carry food and grass. However, they had only carried half of the food when they heard noisy voices outside.
What's the big deal? They've fallen into a trap and are now surrounded by Northern Desert soldiers.
Xie Qichen looked at the dense crowd of Beimo soldiers around him and knew that if he wanted to break out of the encirclement, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
But at the moment he had no time to think about it. The scouts had rebelled, or the people of the Northern Desert were too cunning and deliberately set up such a place to store food and grass, waiting for them to take the bait and catch them in the trap.
But no matter what the specific situation is, he will find a way to lead his brothers out of here every day.
"General, we are surrounded."
"Well, wait a minute, I will lead 500 people to break out, and you will lead the others to follow behind. As soon as there is a chance, immediately lead the brothers to break out of the encirclement and rush to the frontier."
"General, I will lead my men to break through."
"Wang Meng, this is a military order."
"General, I cannot accept this order. I need to lead my men to break out."
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he led 500 soldiers and rushed out.
Seeing that Wang Meng and his men had already started fighting with the people of Beimo, Xie Qichen followed behind without saying a word, trying to break out of the encirclement.
Obviously, Bei Mo was too well prepared. Not only did they have a large number of people, but they also had archers. In just a few breaths, many soldiers on his side fell down forever.
Even though Xie Qichen was anxious, he had no choice but to fight hard.
However, during the battle between the two groups of soldiers, someone from Beimo shouted.
"Thank you, General. I respect you as a man. If you surrender with your troops, I can give you and the soldiers of the Great Zhou a chance to live. I also admire you very much and can recommend you to King Yu to continue to serve as the general. What do you think? Do you think this proposal of mine is a good one?"
