As time passed, the prisoner's willpower became weaker and weaker, and Chu Qing became less and less patient. But now he had no other choice but to pry useful information out of the prisoner's mouth.
"Continue the torture."
Chu Qing looked at the prisoner with his head lowered with a dark face. He didn't believe that Chu Qing couldn't even pry open a prisoner's mouth. He must get the answer he wanted today.
Finally, after being tortured again and again to extract a confession, the prisoner couldn't bear it anymore and told Chu Qing the true location of the hidden food.
After Chu Qing knew the location of the food and grass, he didn't rush there with anyone in a hurry. Because he was worried that the prisoners were not telling the truth, but that the enemy was deceiving him again, he arranged for soldiers to continue to guard the camp to strengthen precautions to avoid another sneak attack by the enemy. Then, he took the remaining soldiers to the hiding place of grain and grass and burned the grain warehouse.
Chu Qing led his army to quickly arrive at the place where the enemy had hidden grain. Seeing that the enemy was heavily guarded around the granary, Chu Qing divided the army into two groups.
There were only a dozen people in a group, and Chu Qing asked them to hide in the grass closest to the grain and grass, preparing to cooperate inside and outside. The rest of the soldiers followed Chu Qing and attacked directly from the front, taking them by surprise.
The enemy army never expected that Chu Qing would appear here with his army. Not to mention that this was a granary hiding place, and only a few people in the army knew about it. Let's just say that the plan they set up today should let Chu Qing's army take off their guard, not to mention that they also sent people to sneak attack their military camp.
Therefore, when the enemy army saw Chu Qing leading the army to fight, they first looked confused, and then looked panicked.
However, the enemy commander was not that stupid. When he saw Chu Qing leading his soldiers to attack, he did not send all his soldiers to fight together. On the contrary, he sent most of his soldiers to protect the food and grass and quickly moved.
Fortunately, Chu Qing guessed early on that the enemy's army would mainly rely on food, so when the soldiers ran towards the food and grass, he intercepted them with his soldiers and killed them one by one.
Another group of people hiding next to the grain and grass saw that the enemy was about to transport grain and grass to leave, so they quickly spread out and set fire around the enemy's camp. All of a sudden, the enemy's camp was ablaze, and the soldiers who were transporting food and grass suddenly panicked, thinking that there were enemies all around, and they didn't know which way to take the food and grass to leave.
Chu Qing led the soldiers to fight around the grain and grass, and another group of hiding soldiers also came from all around to kill. Looking at the piles of grain and grass, Chu Qing squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Follow my orders, a group of people will carry grain and grass back to the camp, and the rest will join me to meet the enemy and stop them."
When Chu Qing saw the enemy's food and grass, he had an idea in his mind. Instead of burning all the food and grass, he might as well move some for his own army. Although doing this makes them very dangerous, the enemy may launch a fierce attack on them when they are carrying food, and may also pursue them vigorously, but it is better than getting nothing in the end.
While Chu Qing was killing the enemy, he watched the soldiers carry the food. When he felt that the food was almost done, he ordered people to light the remaining food and grass.
Food and grass are the support of an army. When they run out of food and grass, the soldiers' hearts are turbulent and they lose confidence in the enemy. Now, it's time to let the enemy taste this feeling of being without support.
The fire was getting bigger and bigger. In order to prevent the enemy from pursuing the grain and grass they were transporting back to the camp, Chu Qing led his soldiers to block the transportation intersection.
The soldiers of Chu Qing's army were very happy when they saw that the enemy's food and grass were burned, and they also transported some food and grass as army food, and they couldn't help but cheer.
