Jiang Wan asked Zhou Jue to take people to visit the wounded, but he did not go himself. Now that the enemy was facing the enemy, this kind of win over people's hearts was not the first priority. He was now a little strange, why the whole day, the rebel army on the opposite side,
They just sat and watched, seeming to have forgotten at all that last night they crossed the long ditch that besieged the city and left hundreds of corpses in front of the refugee camp.
Different from the bandits who tested the formation yesterday, Jiang Wan received the news that these bandits who died in front of the refugee camp were all strong bandits holding sharp blades and spears. They were obviously the elite of the bandits.
The planks and wood that the enemy put up on the long ditch last night had all been demolished by Yan'an Prefecture in the morning. Thousands of enemy soldiers were on the opposite side of the long ditch, and they just watched quietly as Yan'an Prefecture demolished these things.
, but there was no intention of stopping it at all.
This is really a little too abnormal.
Jiang Wan became more vigilant about this and asked Nanhaiwei to maintain combat readiness at all times. Once the bandits attacked the refugees guarding Changgou, Nanhaiwei would join the battle without hesitation.
When the bandits crossed the long ditch, it was time for Nanhaiwei to engage in a full-scale war with them.
However, morning passed and noon passed. Seeing that half of the afternoon had passed, the rebel army still did not make any move. He wondered whether this was the opponent's plan to repeat last night's attack tonight.
Once?
"This is unlikely!"
Xu Xianchun had his own opinion on Jiang Wan's doubts: "There are not many pieces of wood that can be found near Yan'an Prefecture to build a bridge across the ditch. At least, there are not many outside the long ditch. They were able to send so many people in last night.
, is probably the limit, otherwise, if there are one or two thousand more people, the refugee camp will not be able to hold it anyhow!"
"That's right!" Xu Caining also felt that this matter should not be what Jiang Wan thought: "It's the Nanhai Guard. The soldiers on and off the army are not short of daily food, even meat, but those who can't see at night are afraid.
It's only one out of ten. In the bandit army, even if the leaders eat and drink well, ordinary bandits may not be able to. With such a diet, I'm afraid not many people and things can be seen at night. Last night
Hundreds of people died at the refugee camp, and those who participated in the attack must have been at least a thousand people!"
She shook her head: "Even if our Nanhai Guard fights at night, we can't bring out thousands of people, so just rely on them?"
"So, if there is no war during the day today, they will basically not start a war at night!" Jiang Wan pondered for a moment: "Even if they want to fight, they can't get enough people to come out who can be seen at night?"
"That should be the truth!" Xu Caining said firmly.
This is an issue that Jiang Wan ignored. Probably because among the classic battles he remembered in his mind, a large proportion of them involved night battles. He subconsciously thought that night battles were the norm for military operations.
When Xu Caining said this, he had some reaction. Due to dietary problems, most people in this era have night blindness to varying degrees. In Shaanxi, this problem is particularly serious. This is not a place that pays attention to diet.
In a world where people are starving to death everywhere, surviving is already a luxury, and there are still people who are picky about what they eat.
At least Nanhaiwei has never been short of food, but it is hard to say about the rebel army on the opposite side. He was not surprised by such a large-scale night battle last night. Only now did he think about it. I dare you, the rebel army on the opposite side really went out.
The best among the best are at least the ones who have enough to eat and can be seen at night.
"Just wait and see what happens!" Jiang Wan thought for a while: "Even if they do their same tricks tonight, I think the pressure on the refugee camp will be much less than last night!"
What he didn't know was that while he, Xu Caining, and Xu Xianchun were discussing the military situation, outside the city, Wang Jiayin was also discussing the military situation with a group of his leaders, big and small. However, the people discussing the military situation in the city had an expression on their faces.
They were confused and confused, but the people outside the city who were discussing the military situation had gloomy faces.
"They haven't come back yet. Commander, would you like to send some more people back to take a look?"
Fortunately, Wang Er also participated in the gathering of these leaders, but his position was closest to the camp gate. Like everyone else, he was also wondering why the attack was launched last night, but today the army stood still.
.
"General Xiao Peng has been sent back with his people!" Wang Jiayin's calm face showed no trace of a smile: "Now that the entire army's rations are together, even if we save some money, it will only take two or three days at most.
Everyone knows the consequences of a food shortage in our army!"
He looked at his subordinates: "The food from Qingyang Prefecture has not been shipped on time. Our strategy for attacking Yan'an Prefecture must be changed! The original plan to trap them to death may not work!"
"
"Yan'an Prefecture is surrounded by us. They will never conjure a force out of thin air to cut off our food route!" A leader frowned and said: "Even if there is such a soldier who can cut off our food route.
Ma, some of the people who are escorting the food must escape and report the news. Our army can turn around and destroy this army at any time!"
"Could it be Guyuan who sent troops?" Another leader said horrifiedly: "If that's the case, it will be a bit troublesome. There are still a few border troops who can fight, but we may not be able to defeat them!"
"Okay!" Wang Jiayin waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the discussion of his subordinates: "Don't make random guesses and disturb the morale of the army. It's not that Guyuan's border troops are dispatched. There are always people watching over there. If they
There are soldiers and horses heading towards Qingyang Mansion, how could I not know..."
"That's right!" The leader nodded, "We also sent out a lot of scouts. If we really have such a troop, it's impossible not to see any traces!"
"But the soldiers and horses escorting the grain and grass have disappeared!" Wang Er said loudly, and everyone turned around and looked at the guy standing by the door talking.
"You have no role to speak in the military discussion before the commander-in-chief!" the leader who was speaking shouted loudly.
Wang Jiayin waved his hand, "Brother Wang, if you want to say anything, just say it. The only ones who can enter this camp are our brothers, so there is no need to be so open to outsiders!"
"I'm thinking!" Wang Er hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Since it wasn't the border troops who cut off the food route, nor the soldiers and horses of Yan'an Prefecture who robbed the food and grass, it's impossible that the Qingyang Prefecture didn't know about the army.
Outside, food and grass cannot be cut off, so maybe there is a problem with Qingyang Mansion, or even Qingyang Mansion simply does not ship food and grass..."
"Impossible!" Wang Jiayin shook his head and denied: "As long as Qingyang Mansion is still in our hands, it is impossible not to ship food..."
When he said this, he was suddenly stunned. Everyone immediately thought of that possibility, and their expressions suddenly changed.
Yes, as long as Qingyang Mansion is still in our hands, it is impossible not to distribute food, but what if Qingyang Mansion is no longer in our hands...
