Chapter 73 Heavy Loss
Chapter 73 Heavy losses
"Come on me-" It seems that Su Luo has really sacrificed his life this time, and he doesn't even care about his son's life.
However, since he could be so cruel, Lu Sen and his subordinates were not vegetarians. Seeing Ling Jun rushing over from the opposite side, Lu Sen also turned around and waved his hand, and the large group of people behind him also rushed up like a tide.
Not to mention their side, the two armies were so difficult to solve, but only Xiao Li in the camp.
After Xiao Li told Lu Sen to fight, she led the remaining generals to the Grain and Grain Camp to check again. The result of the checking made her feel even more irritable.
Looking at the food and grass that was left for less than three days, no matter how Xiao Li, anyone would have a headache when they encountered it. However, at the moment, this is not the most important thing. The most urgent thing is that she must first think of a solution to the problem.
After thinking about it, Xiao Li thought to herself that it seemed that she could only send someone back to the border city and call some of the food and grass in the city to come for emergency response. Otherwise, within three or five days, not to mention the 200,000 soldiers in her camp, the horses in the army would probably be hungry.
When Xiao Li thought of this, she couldn't help but feel more impatient. Looking back at the military commander Xu standing beside her, she decided to tell Xu Lingxiao her thoughts: "Military advisor, in the opinion of this commander, we should send people to the border town to mobilize food and grass to help. I don't know what you are going to do."
After hearing what she said, Xu Junshi agreed very much: "The Marshal is worried about, but in fact I am making such a plan in my heart. No matter what, our team is still fighting on the front line, and we live a life of losing our heads and losing our lives. So no matter what, the food and grass in the army must be fully supplied."
Xiao Li couldn't help but nodded: "This is what I am worried about in my heart. I think this is also the ultimate goal of Kadal. If my 200,000 army really has no supply of food and grass, within three or five days, let alone sending troops to attack us, we alone may be too hungry to bear it."
Xu Junshi nodded and said, "The Marshal is right. Fortunately, we are not very far from the city there now, and the situation is urgent now. I think we can still transfer some food and grass in the city."
"That's right" Xiao Li said: "As long as the food and grass can ensure that my 200,000 army is measured in five days, as long as we can come up with a clever plan to give the Mirror Army a fatal blow, maybe the war will be ended sooner, and the army will be able to return to the court earlier. At that time, the problem of food and grass may be solved."
But at present, who should I send to the city over there to transport grain and grass here?
"Marson, why not leave this matter to the general to go and handle it!" Xiao Li turned her head and saw that the person who came out to speak was Bai Qiliang. She was about to agree, but she saw the military advisor suddenly shook his head at him.
"General Bai cannot." Military advisor Xu said: "As my right vanguard army on the Ling army, you must not leave this front-line camp at this time. You should choose someone else in this matter."
Bai Qiliang had to nodded helplessly after hearing this: "The military advisor is right. This time he went back to escort food and grass, not a marching force. I'm afraid he would not be able to come back for a day or two. And if only General Lu was left on this front line, it would be inappropriate."
Xiao Li couldn't help but ponder. What they said was not unreasonable, but what should she do now? No matter whether these people are leaving or not, she would have to send someone back.
At this moment, Qin Jian, who was following her, suddenly spoke: "Miss, I have a suggestion, but I don't know whether to say it."
Xiao Li turned around and glanced at Qin Jian. She suddenly understood what she meant, and she couldn't help but feel silent again.
However, Xu Junshi suddenly spoke to Qin Jian and said, "What do Miss Qin Jian have in mind? You might as well say it out and refer to it for your reference."
Qin Jian heard this and quickly saluted Xu Junshi and said, "Sir Xu Junshi, generals, now the war is imminent, and the soldiers of our camp perform their duties. If they are easily transferred, it will inevitably cause many inconveniences. However, this matter of food and grass is of great importance and is an indispensable material for the entire army. Therefore, I have a suggestion. If this matter is handed over to the former supervision of food and grass, Zhang Laowu will do it, I wonder what the military advisor and the generals have."
"This..." Xu Junshi suddenly pondered after hearing this. The generals naturally understood in their hearts. After all, Zhang Laowu is still guilty now. If he still handed over the food and grass to his hands at this time, it would probably be a bit inappropriate.
But when he heard this, Qin Jian said again: "Everyone is thinking, I naturally understand what they are thinking. But I believe everyone knows what General Zhang is doing on a daily basis. Now, in the case of an emergency, everyone is doing their own jobs, and only Zhang Laowu is detained in the account. Wouldn't this waste of manpower?"
Everyone nodded in agreement after Qin Jian said this.
Looking back on the usual person, Zhang Laowu was a careful and cautious person, but this time, the Jingjun sneaked into the camp to burn food and grass, which was a matter of being unpredictable. What's more, now the army is employed, and it has become an unwise move to imprison Zhang Laowu alone. It would be better to give him a chance to make up for his merits as Qin Jian suggested than wasting talents in vain.
Finally, Xu Junshi spoke to Qin Jian again and said, "What Miss Qin Jian said is not unreasonable. Well, why don't we just listen to you and give General Zhang a chance to redeem his sins."
Qin Jian couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly knelt down beside Military Commander Xu and thanked him: "In this way, Qin Jian will thank General Zhang for General Zhang."
Speaking of this, Qin Jian couldn't help but think of Xiao Li again, and didn't know what she meant at this moment. So he quickly got up and came to Xiao Li's side, looked at her nervously, and asked, "Miss, do you have other ideas about this matter?"
How could Xiao Li not know the physiognomy in her heart? But now, since even the military advisor said that, she naturally had no other thoughts in her heart. Thinking of this, Xiao Li couldn't help but speak to Qin Jian: "Since the military advisor said that, then I will break the example and give Zhang Laowu a chance."
"Thank you, Miss!" Qin Jian couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this, but then he said again: "Miss, I have another request, I hope the lady can agree."
"What else do you have?" Xiao Li couldn't help frowning again after hearing this.
But Qin Jian said, "Miss, I want to ask the lady to allow me to return to the border city with General Zhang this time and go to escort the food and grass."
"You~" Xiao Li couldn't help but look at the Qin Jian, but saw that her face was firm and she couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Since that's the case, then you go and go back quickly!"
As soon as Qin Jian took the order, the battle situation suddenly came from the front again.
"Report - Marshal, our army, on both sides, found tens of thousands of troops in the Jing army!"
Looking at the spy who came to report, Xiao Li couldn't help but frown tightly: "It seems that this time, the Mirror Marshal Kadar was really determined to die in our army."
But, what if they really come? At worst, water comes and soil comes and the soldiers come and stop them!
"Come on! Go back to the Central Army Commander's tent, and follow the order!" With the order, Xiao Li took the lead and turned around and walked towards the Central Army Commander's tent.
Under the arrangement of Xiao Li and Xu Junshi, after the troops were dispatched, all the troops were opened out to fight the troops.
Let’s talk about this day, Ling Jing could do his best to kill a dark place, which was difficult to resolve. During this whole day, Xiao Li also sat firmly on the tent of the central army, commanded three troops to fight the Jing army to a desperate battle.
Seeing that it was getting late, a figure suddenly ran in outside the tent. The man was covered in blood. As soon as he entered the tent, he knelt down in front of Xiao Li with a thump and said, "Report to Marshal, something is wrong!"
Xiao Li looked at the figure in front of the tent, and couldn't help but feel a stern heart. He asked quickly, "What happened? Report to me truthfully!"
But the man heard the man say, "I was under General Zhang, the chief of the grain and grass supervisor. General Zhang led my men and horses. On the way back to the border town, he suddenly encountered a large number of ambushed by the Jing Army. Our army was ambushed and outnumbered. Miss Qin Jian was seriously injured..."
"What? How is Qin Jian like? Where is Zhang Laowu? Where is he now?" Xiao Li couldn't help but suddenly slapped the table.
But it was heard that the person spoke in difficulty: "General Zhang tried his best to protect the girl Qinjian, and finally died with the enemy's leader. Before his death, he told his subordinates to escort the girl Qinjian back. The subordinates also fought for death and finally broke out a bloody road and sent the girl Qinjian back." As soon as the man finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thump.
Seeing this, Xiao Li could no longer stand, so she quickly walked down from the position of the commander, came to the guard, and helped him up: "Come on! Where is the military doctor? Why don't you call the military doctor quickly!" After saying that, he lowered his head and called the guard: "Wake up... Tell me, where did you encounter ambush? And Qin Jian, where is she now?"
The man finally opened his eyes hard again: "The ambush place, eighty miles south of this place, and the girl Qinjian...she...she has arrived outside the tent at this time..." After saying that, the man rolled his eyes and could not speak any further. In an instant, he leaned his head and his arms suddenly dropped. It was not until this time that Xiao Li realized that his body was covered with wounds.
Full of grief, Xiao Li slowly put down the guard in her arms, then suddenly stood up, and walked out of the tent: "Qin Jian... Where is Qin Jian?"
"Marson..." As soon as Fang walked out of the tent, Xiao Li saw another figure covered in blood, and on his back was the Qin Jian, who had been unconscious.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and give Qin Jian the next one!" Seeing Qin Jian's motionless look, Xiao Li's heart twitched, fearing that she would fall to the ground and not wake up like the person just now.
