After the troops entered Fenzhou, the sight in front of them became even more desolate. The loess slopes were high and wind blowing sand. At this time, let alone find a village and town, even if you want to drink the spring water, it is a problem.
But fortunately, the worst extreme situation like this did not appear for long, and it was resolved due to the arrival of the rainy season.
However, military rations are always a big problem. The elimination of a cottage in Jinzhou can still make some surpluses, but after entering this desolate Fenzhou, every time a group of horse thieves are eliminated, it is often impossible to get in!
There was a light rain in the sky, and the small woods were sparsely filled with tents. Wu Zheng had nearly 4,000 people when he went on the expedition. By now, there are nearly 15,000 people in three brigades and two independent regiments. The full staff of Xiaowei is less than 5,000 people.
Now all these five thousand people are trapped in this elm forest because of the rain.
"How many days can we survive in the army?" Wu Zheng asked.
Qin Xiang, who is also a grain and grass officer, said: "If we have two meals a day, we can last a day at most."
"Only one day?" Cheng Xiaojin asked in surprise.
You have to know that the thousand old men you brought are okay, but now those recruits who are pieced together by ringing horses outside. If this is no food and grass, they will not turn back
Wu Zheng said: "What do you scream? One day is enough."
Cheng Xiaojin said: "Brother Wu, do you have a way?"
Wu Zheng picked up the stick and clicked on the map and said, "We are here now. Is it enough for a day from here to here?"
"Heisha City! Brother Wu, don't you want to fight Heisha City!" The three of them looked at Wu Zheng in surprise.
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Why is there any problem?"
Qin Xiang said: "This Black Sand City is registered with the court. We are officers and soldiers and we are not really ringing horses. It would be inappropriate to grab it directly!"
"The court made the book? Who made the book? Is it your majesty or the two sides?"
Cheng Xiaojin thought for a while and said, "This household department should belong to the right, and of course it is a book made by the right."
Wu Zheng said, "That's just a temporary expedient! Look at the location of Heisha City, located between Lingzhou and Yunzhou, and Lingzhou and Yunzhou are also important towns of war against Tuyuhun and Uyghurs in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Nothing is to be missed. Heisha City is stuck here. The grain and grass that Heisha City has to transport from the imperial court to the border every year is probably in the hands of Heisha City!"
"But this is not the reason for us to attack Heisha City!" Qin Xiang said with some worry.
Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Don’t worry, someone wants to make this black sand city disappear more than we do. It’s just that we can’t do anything with them until now, and now that we’re here, if we don’t do it for him, Are you a little too sorry for others?"
"You mean your majesty?" Niu Yaozu said.
Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything."
The three of them immediately understood, and one by one, they started gearing up. Although there were a lot of cottage thief dens that were captured along the way, they were just a little bit of a fight, but they didn’t make much fun. Today, they finally have the courage to fight. If you don't use Lian Lian Shou, how can you be worthy of the hardships you have suffered these days.
"Wu Zheng, please tell me! We will listen to you how to do it."
Wu Zheng said: "What else can I do? You have to find an interface to attack the city! I have a letter here and your majesty's handwritten letter. Later, I will ask Wuyan that guy to send it to Heisha City together. The purpose is only One is to ask for food. If he gives it to us, let him wait for three days. If he doesn't give it to us, it will not be too late for us to fight!"
"Why is Brother Wu brilliant? I'm going to call Wuyan the guy." Cheng Xiaojin went out of the tent in a hurry, and caught Wuyan in a blink of an eye.
Wu Zheng handed him the letter and the manuscript that Wu Heng had written for himself that could be eaten in various prefectures and prefectures, and asked him to hand it over to the city lord of Heisha before tonight.
There was also a guard company who walked with Wuyan. This was selected by Wu Zheng from various companies in a short period of time. Although these people can't say that they are the most capable people of Zuo Xiaowei as a whole, these people Without exception, there is a skill.
These people picked them out of the companies, and let Wuyan teach them some killing skills. These people have transformed into special soldiers of this era.
Of course, it was an experiment conducted by Wu Zheng, because this was the first one. I had no previous experience to learn from, so I could only throw stones to ask for directions, and if it was feasible, I would grow it slowly. If the experiment is found to be unworkable, then...
