Qin Hu led 10,000 iron horsemen to leave Shangnan City, and had been catsizing in the ravine to the north, waiting for the grain transportation team of the Song army; The Song army has more than 100,000 troops on the front line, and the daily consumption needs are very large, which is not only grain and grass, but also weapons, clothing, bows and crossbows, arrows, shoes and other things, so every seven or eight days, there will be a Song army's baggage transport team passing through here to transport a large number of materials to the front line.
"General, we have been waiting here for three days, and we haven't seen the Song army's grain transport team pass through here" The deputy general complained to Qin Hu: "Is it that our investigation report is wrong, the Song army will not take this road at all." ” "There will be no mistake, I saw those wooden tracks paved on the road, which were specially prepared by the Song army in order to quickly transfer grain and grass, and then the Song army's baggage team should arrive."
Qin Hu said to the deputy general.
Another day passed, and in the afternoon of this day, as soon as Qin Hu and the others finished their meal, a spy hurriedly ran over and reported to Qin Huyu: "General, I found the baggage team of the Song army. ” Qin Hu immediately came and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?"
"There are 3,000 guards, and there are thousands more."
The spies reported to Qin Huyu.
"Order all departments to prepare for action, and be sure to rob me of this batch of grain and grass before the Song army reinforcements arrive."
Qin Hu immediately issued a military order.
"Yes, General" Under the leadership of Qin Hu, the Xia army of 10,000 iron cavalry rushed towards the Song army's grain transport team, facing the Xia army cavalry, the Song army's grain transport team could not organize effective resistance at all, the Xia army was like a tiger descending the mountain, and the Song army's queue was very long, so under the impact of the Xia army, the Song army was basically defeated, but for the defeated Song army Qin Hu did not let go, and most of the guards and people of all the grain transport teams were killed, Only a few people escaped the pursuit and sent the news to the rear and Wang Kai respectively.
"General, this is a document found on the grain officer."
The deputy general took an account book and sent it to Qin Hu and said.
Qin Hu opened it and looked at it and said: "This is the list of the Song army's baggage, this batch of materials has a total of 10,000 stone grain and grass, 30,000 waist knives, 20,000 spears, 5,000 earth-shaking thunder, clothes, shoes and other materials. ” "I robbed such a little thing after such a long time."
The adjutant said complainingly.
"That's so much nonsense, this is obviously not to transport grain and grass, this batch should be mainly weapons and clothing, and grain and grass are just waiting for a while."
Qin Hu said; "Hurry up and bring someone to transport these things to the valley where we are hiding, and it won't be long before the reinforcements of the Song army will arrive."
"Yes, General" The news of the robbery of the materials soon reached Wang Kai's ears, this is a big deal for Wang Kai, this battle has been fought for so long, and the supply of materials has been very stable, which is also the key to the Song army being able to persevere, but it was robbed today, which shows a problem The Xia army has begun to change its tactics, once the grain route of the Song army is completely cut off, then there is no need for Wang Kai to fight this battle again.
"Come on, pick an elite, let's go out of town."
Wang Kai immediately ordered.
Wang Kai took people to the battlefield as quickly as possible, and there was nothing left on the battlefield except for the corpses all over the ground, and some materials that were not burned in time, Wang Kai confidently checked the battlefield and said: "It seems that the Xia army has been prepared for a long time, and the other party is all cavalry, so many materials must have been transported to the mountains in the north by them, if it weren't for the lack of troops in Lao Tzu's hands now, they must all be dug out." ” "General, what should we do now," the adjutant general asked Wang Kai.
"What can I do, what else can I do, at this time, Xia Jun has already run away."
Wang Kai said to the deputy general; "Forget it, this batch of things is not very much, a large amount of grain, grass and materials will arrive in three days, and General Ben does not want any more problems at that time."
"Yes, the Admiral understands."
For the loss of materials this time, Wang Kai did not feel much distressed, this thing is simply a drop in the bucket for the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Kai is even more worried that his grain road was completely cut off by the Xia army, this batch of materials transported is just to alleviate the problem of material shortage, a large number of materials have not yet been shipped, and now the materials of the Song army have been shipped from Nanyang, and they can be delivered to Shangnan City in three days, this batch of materials is what the Song army needs for the next month or so, and it is the key for Wang Kai to hold Shangnan City.
After intercepting this batch of supplies, Qin Hu told Li Wu the news, although there were not many things to rob, but the price Li Wu was very happy, because Li Wu finally knew how to defeat Wang Kai's Song army, so Li Wu began to increase Qin Hu's troops, so that Qin Hu's nail continued to take root in the rear of the Song army, Qin Hu's army was like a thorn in the throat of the Song army, although the thorn was not big, but it could still kill people.
In the front camp of the Xia army in Shangnancheng, Li Wu was meeting with a mysterious guest, this person was from Nanyang, it was a spy from Yipintang lurking in Nanyang, this spy came to Li Wu to send an important news, the spy said to Li Wu: "Lord, in three days, a batch of Xia army's baggage will arrive in Shangnancheng, this is the list of this batch of baggage." ” Li Wu took the list and said after reading it; "Song Jun really invested in 300,000 stones, grains and grass and a large number of weapons this time, and even earth-shattering thunder, as long as he wins this batch of baggage, I will see how Wang Kai still follows this king."
"Lord Wang, according to his humble understanding, in order to escort this batch of baggage, the Song army dispatched 30,000 troops and 50,000 people, and it is not easy to eat this piece of fat."
The spy reminded Li Wu.
"This king understands."
Li Wu said; "This king has one more thing to ask."
"If the prince has anything to say, just say it."
The spy said.
Li Wu asked the spy: "How many supplies does the Song army still have in Nanyang, if the Song army keeps moving, it is impossible for this king to succeed every time."
"Don't worry, the Song army doesn't have much baggage in this area."
The spy said to Li Wu; "Originally, a batch of grain and grass was stored in the inner countryside, but because the Song army consumed too much, this time the baggage could only be requisitioned from Nanyang, and now the remaining grain and grass in Nanyang is less than 50,000 stones."
"Fuck, Da Song is really rich, and he actually put so much grain and grass here."
Li Wu scolded; "It seems that this batch of baggage is Wang Kai's life, it is really not easy to take it, Wang Kai will definitely send troops to support it at that time, I am afraid there will be a tough battle to fight."
After learning the key information from the mouth of the spy, Li Wu began to think about his next battle plan, Li Wu had two options, the first is to completely destroy this batch of materials, which does not require too many soldiers and horses, as long as there is a partial division of Qin Hu; This second is to find a way to grab this batch of baggage, which can reduce some of the logistical pressure for the follow-up attack, but how to choose Li Wu has not yet made up his mind, if it is to grab it, I am afraid it will not be so simple, and more troops must be invested.
The second is more presented, continue to ask for support, ask for recommendations:
