Li Yan also soon heard the news that Obai had sent 10,000 cavalry troops, and Wu Di also knew the news.
"It seems that Li Dashan's previous action of burning food was successful!"
Wu Yan showed a smile in his eyes.
"As long as this food supply can be destroyed, the Qing troops will retreat!"
A glimmer of light flashed in Wu Yan's eyes.
"But, my lord, how do we destroy the grain road?"
The prefect of Dongchang Prefecture next to him had a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
"The news just came that Obai led 10,000 cavalry to protect the food supply. They are Manchu cavalry. We are afraid..."
The prefect of Dongchang Prefecture showed a wry smile in his eyes as he looked at Wu Yi in front of him.
"Then it depends on Li Yan's ability!"
A thoughtful look appeared on Wu Zong's face.
"Send someone to notify Li Yan! If there is a shortage of manpower, you can transfer another 10,000 soldiers from us!"
"Yes! Sir!"
Soon, the guards left in a hurry.
Li Yan on the other side also received news that Obai was leading troops to receive food.
"food!"
A serious expression flashed in Li Yan's eyes.
Wang Lie stood beside him.
"General Li! As long as we can destroy the food supplied by the Qing Dynasty, the more than 100,000 Qing troops will have to retreat!"
Wang Lie said to Li Yan standing aside with a serious face.
"I know!"
Li Yan smiled, looked at Wang Lie in front of him and said.
"Thanks to you for creating this opportunity for us!"
Li Yan looked at Wang Lie in front of him seriously and said.
Wang Lie shook his head and said nothing.
"Okay! Get ready! Get ready! We will bring five thousand people and we must destroy the food!"
Li Yan said with a serious look!
Soon, the ghost-faced army under Li Yan began to dispatch quickly.
Just when Li Yan was about to move.
Wu Yan's bodyguard came to Li Yan.
"Thank you Mr. Wu Ge for your concern, but please tell Mr. Wu Ge that I am going to send out elite troops this time, and we don't need too many people! What we want is a sneak attack!"
"good!"
The attendant in front of him nodded, looked at Li Yan in front of him and said: "If you need anything, remember to contact us! I will tell Mr. Wu Ge as soon as possible!"
"good!"
Li Yan nodded.
Wu Zong left. Li Yan looked at the back of Wu Zong's attendant, and his eyes became serious.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yan continued to organize.
He basically collected all the elites. All the elites were mounted on horses, and they carried heavy fire oil and gunpowder.
These things are designed to destroy food.
After all, they went out this time not to confront Obai's cavalry head-on, but to prepare for a sneak attack and destroy the food. They would be considered successful!
Soon, all the soldiers were fully equipped.
"Mount!"
Li Yan didn't say any nonsense and drank loudly to the elites around him.
All the soldiers got on their horses.
The group of people all left the city, and the city gate slowly closed.
Li Yan's troops quickly rushed towards the area around Zhangde Mansion.
At this time, Obai had already received the grain transportation team.
Escorting the grain, he walked slowly along the official road.
"Pay attention to your surroundings!"
Obai shouted to the soldiers around him.
As he spoke, he glanced around with vigilant eyes. He had nearly 100,000 shi of food here, enough to feed an army of more than 100,000 people for a month.
If there is no way for these grains to be transported to the military camp safely, then there will be no need to fight the war!
Now the food in the military camp is not enough for two days!
It is difficult to gather 100,000 shi of food, let alone transport it!
Therefore, these 100,000 shi of grain are of great importance!
No wonder Obai was not careful. If these grains were destroyed, he, Obai, would be beheaded even if he was beaten in the background!
Thinking of this, Obai's face didn't look very good.
The army walked cautiously on the road and slowly marched towards Daming Mansion.
The grain truck was like a long queue on the pipeline. The surrounding people and traders looked at the grain and the Manchu soldiers who were constantly coming and going, and quickly started to avoid it.
Manchu cavalry constantly patrolled the front and rear of the grain transport team.
As a result, the speed of the grain transport team was not very fast.
But fortunately, they only have about three hundred miles left to travel from Daming Mansion!
If everything goes well, we will be able to arrive at Damingfu at around noon tomorrow!
Thinking of this, Obai's heart was slightly shaken.
When the grain transport team moved forward slowly.
in front of them.
"Wang Lie, are you sure they will be here at night??"
Li Yan hesitated for a moment and asked Wang Lie beside him.
"According to our people's speculation, at their current traveling speed, they will be able to get here before midnight! But it is not clear whether they will set up camp here!"
Wang Lie looked calm and said to Li Yan in front of him.
Li Yan nodded.
"Disperse here, everyone find a place to have a good rest. Before midnight, I will ask someone to wake you up! By then, it would be best if they can set up camp here. If not, they will be very tired!
We are waiting for work! We will catch them off guard when the time comes!"
Li Yan's army quickly dispersed in the surrounding jungle. This is indeed a good ambush location. The jungle is lush and it is easy to hide people.
More than 5,000 people dispersed, but hundreds of people led by Wang Lie stayed at night and continued to detect targets in various forms.
In fact, many of these battles are intelligence warfare.
The more information Li Yan receives, the more confident he becomes.
Night falls slowly.
"General, there is a county town next to us. Why don't we rest in this town for one night and then continue on our way! It's just for everyone to refresh themselves."
"Need not!"
Ao Bai waved his hand, looked at the soldiers behind him and said: "Everyone, be patient! Take good care of the food first! Those Han people are so cunning, who knows if any of them have sneaked into this county?"
What if their people have already entered and set fire to burn food at night? How should we prepare ourselves?"
After hearing what Obai said, the deputy general on the side was slightly stunned, smiled bitterly and said nothing.
At this time, Obai looked at the deputy general in front of him with a serious face and said: "Right now, our only way is to transport the food back quickly! Otherwise, there may be dangers everywhere!
Everyone, please be patient! Don’t sleep tonight! We’ll be traveling all night! When the food arrives successfully, I’ll take credit from everyone!”
"good!"
The Manchu and Qing soldiers around them all had smiles on their faces and cheered loudly towards Obai.
The deputy general on the side had a wry smile in his eyes.
