Chapter 427 Despair
"What's wrong? You said that Huadicheng was captured by a group of bandits?" After Xu Haiming received a letter from the kingdom clan in front of him, this was the fifth time he asked this question.
"Yes~~Yes~~Yes, Lord Xu." A young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and strong eyes in a short blue jacket, white socks, black cloth shoes, and a stuttering in a southern accent.
"Bastard, your lie." Xu Haiming threw the letter in his hand on the table, held the hilt of the command knife, and "scared" out his command knife that had accompanied him for more than ten years.
The command knife was well maintained by Xu Haiming. The blade covered with butter flashed with strange luster under the dim light of the horse lantern. It was not so bright, but it was definitely a good knife that could kill people.
"You, you, you." Xu Haiming bulged his flesh and waved his commanding knife to slash at the young man.
The young man was so scared that he fell soft under Xu Haiming's fierce eyes and the strange sword light, and collapsed to the ground, looking at the blade that was slashing towards him, full of despair.
The tip of the knife stopped more than ten centimeters above the head of a young man who was already scared to the ground.
Suddenly, a smell of urine came from the room. Xu Haiming looked at the kingdom servant who reported his message to him and was already wet.
It turned out that under the terrifying blade, the young man with a relatively strong body was actually scared to pee.
But this is what an ordinary person should do.
Xu Haiming frowned in disgust, but the suspicion on his face disappeared. He inserted the command knife into the scabbard with his backhand and pointed at the young man: "You, stand up and explain the situation to me clearly, what's going on."
However, the young man lay on the ground for another half a minute, and then he tried hard to stand up with his weak legs.
An ordinary servant of the kingdom was so brave that he drew his sword and killed someone by the disagreement of the Black Hawk Army. He was already a little braver.
Although he continued to stutter and did not match the preface, combined with the rough description of Han Tianhao, the first major in the city to sue for help, Xu Haiming, who was proficient in the kingdom dialect, still basically understood the causes and consequences of the entire incident.
A group of more than 600 bandits known as Qinglong Mountain, really captured Huadicheng early yesterday morning. The guards of the city, Lieutenant Lewuliang and his entire infantry team died bravely because of the rebellion of a group of soldiers in the city.
Why did Han Tianhao dare to say that the team of soldiers rebelled? It was what he saw with his own eyes that the squad leader Liu Aba followed the bandit leader with a pistol, and he also led the bandits to rob the homes of every wealthy family in the city.
The body of Lieutenant Le Wuliang and the bodies of 53 imperial officers and soldiers under his command are still displayed by bandits on the West Street. Almost everyone in Huadie City has seen it.
Under the leadership of the soldiers, the bandits had occupied the material warehouse of the 8th Division. They were busy transporting supplies with their stolen carriages. From food to ammunition, at least forty carriages had been transported out of the city. At the same time, they were still plundering the entire city. Now, Huadi City is full of wilderness, like hell on earth.
Han Tianhao risked his life to send his confidant servants to send letters to Lieutenant General Xiao Qing, hoping that his Excellency Xiao Qing would quickly send troops to suppress the thieves.
Otherwise, Huadicheng will become a ruin, not only will the logistics warehouse of the Eighth Division be stolen by bandits.
Han Tianhao was very smart and knew that in the eyes of the Eighth Division, he and others might not even be as good as ants. He did not beg Lord Xiao Qing to rescue him from the sea of suffering, but he used his pen to show his deep concerns about the Black Hawk Imperial Army logistics warehouse.
This hit Xu Haiming's tears.
Waving his hand, he drove the timid kingdom from the temporary headquarters first. Xu Haiming sat on the marching chair, staring blankly at the sky, his red eyes silently left two lines of tears.
After being hit by the Anwupo defenders, and then being hit by the heavy artillery brigade, the commander of the Xiao Qing Division was seriously injured and unconscious. The powerful 8th Division was chased by the small ancient kingdom city regiment, which was such an inhumane humiliation and bitterness. The strong Major General Xu Haiming did not cry.
He was still trying hard to lead the 8th Division to deal with powerful enemies. Even though the enemy was as powerful as taking medicine, Major General Xu Haiming had always firmly believed that as time went by, the weather improved, the final victory must belong to the empire.
But now, after hearing this sudden news, Xu Haiming finally couldn't help but feel sad and cried.
What a 8th Division that died in heaven!
Xu Haiming could bear all the losses on the battlefield. However, it was unbearable for Xu Haiming to be able to support the remaining 10,000 people in the Eighth Division to eat enough food and ammunition that would support January to be looted.
Without these, what will the Eighth Division return to the Northern Three Prefectures? How long can the so-called ketchup tactics be supported? After half a month of fierce battle with Liu Lang's independent regiment, the Eighth Division's military reserves have reached a precarious level. All the food and grass will be sold out in at most in two days.
If it weren't for the fear of sending a single piece to be attacked by the ubiquitous ancient city regiment, Xu Haiming would have sent a piece to Diecheng for supplies three days ago.
Unexpectedly, the division robbed half of the military rations that had been prepared in Qingning County, and was robbed by a group of bandits. How could outsiders understand that kind of pain?
Compared to the food that can make the entire division full, the twenty boxes of gold, silver and jewelry that were robbed from Qingning County by the boss did not make Xu Haiming too sad. Those things cannot be eaten, and at worst they can be snatched back later.
However, now that there is no food, the entire Eighth Division will have to go hungry.
Even Xu Haiming felt that even if he was robbed by Liu Lang's ancient city regiment, he would feel a little more comfortable. After all, when the two armies were in war, both sides made a surprise plan and destroyed the other party's logistics and supplies. He was defeated by such a powerful opponent, and Xu Haiming was convinced and had nothing to say.
However, now he was killed by such a bandit in the kingdom who jumped out of nowhere. No matter how he thought about it, Xu Haiming felt sad and frustrated.
That indescribable aggrievance brought the strong Major General Xu Haiming to tears.
"Damn the kingdom." Xu Haiming's eyes flashed with fierce light.
Whether it was the bold bandits in the kingdom or the crazy soldiers of the squad, Xu Haiming hated them.
The grain must be snatched back no matter what. 200,000 kilograms of grain will take at least 100 trucks to transport it. In addition, 20,000 shells and nearly 10 million bullets in the warehouse, how could it be spared with the bandit's greed?
Xu Haiming was very smart and knew that although twenty-four hours had passed, with the transportation capacity of hundreds of bandits, it was impossible to emptiate the huge supplies in such a short time. Even if it was given to them forty-eight hours, it was impossible.
The Eighth Division still has time.
