The red sun is rising.
Li Biao and Li Hu's men were busy loading large quantities of grain and grass onto the truck, preparing to transport them back to Xiayi.
Kong Sheng stood on the spot, his expression slightly anxious.
It has been more than an hour since the end of the battle, and the news has already been transmitted, but the new barracks led by Nangong Wang have not yet arrived, and if it is delayed here, it will definitely cause the main force of Yin Ziqi's rebel army to retaliate frantically.
From Suiyang Canal to the rebel camp, it is more than 100 miles, and the news of a fierce battle in the middle of the night here is basically impossible to hide, not to mention that so many Xi soldiers have escaped.
Kong Sheng looked up at the sky, and said in a deep voice: "Li Biao and Li Hu, wait for the time of tea, if the people of Nangong Wang can't catch up, we will immediately transport the grain back, and we can transport as much as we can, and the rest will be burned."
Li Biao and Li Hu bowed down and promised.
At this moment, there were noisy voices on the hillside, Kong Sheng's eyes lit up, and he looked up with joy.
At the critical moment, Nangong Wang finally lived up to his expectations and rushed to Suiyang Canal with 1,500 recruits.
Nie Chuchen smiled knowingly, took an arrow on his horse and drew his bow, and a ringing arrow shot into the clouds like lightning, exploding in the sky, making a crisp sound.
After a moment of chaos, he quickly followed Nangong Wang's command, four people in a group, each responsible for a grain truck, hundreds of trucks carrying grain and grass to leave Suiyang Canal and immediately go south.
Kong Sheng personally led the cavalry battalion and the bow battalion, escorting more than 1,000 Xi soldiers to the south at the same time, followed by the grain convoy.
As for the grain and grass that could not be taken away, it was ordered by Kong Sheng to be burned in a fire.
It is definitely not possible to return the same way, and it is bound to be intercepted by Yin Ziqi's army, which came with crazy revenge.
It can only go straight south from Suiyang Canal, bypass Tuocheng, and enter the junction of Jiangbei and Xiayi along the periphery of Bozhou.
This way, the journey was more than 300 miles, escorting so much grain, grass and prisoners, and the journey was slow, and it should be said that the risk was still very large.
What Kong Sheng wants to fight is a time difference.
Therefore, there must not be a single mistake in the whole plan and links, and any mistake in any link will face the disastrous consequences of being surrounded by the main force of the rebels.
Therefore, whether it was Nangong Wang, who escorted the grain and grass, or Li Biao, Li Hu, Nan Yong and others who escorted the prisoners in the follow-up, they all tightened the strings in their hearts, and their spirits were highly nervous, and they strictly ordered their subordinate soldiers to be on full alert, and hurry up, for fear of making a mistake.
The convoy of grain was moving in full swing, but the team of soldiers was moving slowly.
Li Biao, Li Hu and others, who escorted the prisoners, became more and more impatient, and their subordinate soldiers either beat or scolded the slow Xi people to surrender their troops, and they continued to scold along the way.
The slender Xi young man was forced to march south under the protection of two strong men, caught in the group of troops, he secretly stopped, looked back at the Suiyang Canal Xi Ren military camp that had become a sea of fire, and there was a trace of shame and anger in his eyes, and at the same time a trace of fear.
All the grain and grass of Yin Ziqi's army are here, which is the basis for the stability of Yin Ziqi's army.
The reason why Yin Ziqi handed over the responsibility of guarding grain to Xi people is mainly because Yin Ziqi is half a Xi person, and his mother is a Xi girl, and he trusts Xi Xi more.
However, the grain and grass were raided and looted by the official army, and they were burned to ashes.
The young man could almost imagine the thunderous scene after Yin Ziqi learned that the grain and grass had been lost, and even if he fled back to the rebels and agreed, there would be no good fruit waiting for him.
This was the key factor in the fact that several of his subordinates kept pushing him to flee, but he hesitated and did not agree.
The number of officers and soldiers who appeared mysteriously was not large, only more than 2,000 people, half of them were transporting food, and only more than 1,000 people were supervising the prisoners.
It's just that if he escapes, how can he return to Yin Ziqi, will the angry Yin Ziqi let him go The young man looked back while thinking, and soon the few of them fell behind.
With a wave of the horsewhip in the hand of a Mo Dao soldier under Li Biao, he slapped the back of the young man of Xi Ren, and angrily reprimanded: "Sneakily see what to hurry up and delay the trip, Lao Tzu's knife will result in your life."
The young man was in pain, his body staggered, and he groaned lowly.
The two strong men beside him subconsciously protected him and looked up at the soldiers.
Seeing that the Xi captive seemed to be unconvinced, the soldier was furious, and whipped it angrily, and one of the strong men gritted his teeth and took it, without humming half a sentence.
Another strong man of Xi was about to have a seizure, but he was glared at by the young man of Xi Ren, and then several people lowered their heads and trotted down, blending into the large army of Xi people's troops.
The soldier spat a mouthful, dissatisfiedly put away his whip, clamped the belly of the horse on his horse, and galloped on.
From the beginning of the red sun to noon, this team that stretched for several miles slowly marched for dozens of miles, resting and fighting in a place called Huangtun.
The soldiers rested on the spot, simply grabbed a handful of fried noodles from their backpacks and stuffed them into their mouths, and then swallowed a few mouthfuls of cold water, but they ate them one by one with relish.
Kong Sheng stood under a poplar tree, looking at the road ahead, his expression a little gloomy.
Li Biao and Li Hu were also worried about munching on fried noodles on the side, while Nie Chuchen and Mu Changfeng simply didn't get off the horse, and simply nibbled on some jerky to satisfy their hunger.
Nangong Wang hurriedly came over from the front, and said with a sigh: "Senior Brother Kong, this can't be done, the march is slow, and we can't take care of each other, if we continue like this, at most, we will be caught up by the main force of the rebels this evening."
At that time, even if we give up the grain truck, it will be difficult to break out. ” Kong Sheng nodded slowly: "That's right, Senior Brother Nangong, what do you think?"
Nangong Wang turned his head to look at the gathering place of the mocking soldiers in the back half of the entire team, his eyes flashed with a cold luster, and he lowered his voice and said: "The matter is urgent, so I have to give up this batch of descendants."
Just give the order, shoot these people on the spot, and then we will travel lightly, the speed will be accelerated, if we rush overnight, we will be able to bypass the city at dawn tomorrow and enter the outskirts of Bozhou. ” "As long as we enter the border between Bozhou and Jiangbei, Yin Ziqi's rebels will not dare to catch up easily."
Kong Sheng gasped when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
He knew very well in his heart that although what Nangong Wang said was cruel, it was a rational choice.

And in the army, there are probably not a few people who have the same mind as Nangong Wang.
This group of Xi soldiers marched slowly and procrastinated, which has become a burden to the entire team.
Moreover, it is necessary to worry and beware of the captives at any time, which involves the energy of many soldiers.
But shooting and killing more than 1,000 Xi soldiers was almost sensational to Kong Sheng.
As a soul who has crossed over from modern civilized society, how can he do such a thing that destroys the nature of life In the hearts of Nangong Wang, those who are not of my race will have different hearts.
For these alien captives, they are killed and killed, and there is nothing to sympathize with.
But in Kong Sheng's eyes, whether it is a Xi person, a Han person, an official army, or a rebel army, there is not much difference in essence.
The two armies fought and fought and shed blood, which is the nature of war and cannot be resisted.
But if Kong Sheng ordered the killing of unarmed captives, even if it was a group of foreign captives, he couldn't do it. oshow7 t1706231537:
