Chapter 136 Returning with a full load and making friends with righteous men

The terrain near Yinjing is mostly hilly. Hills, plains, and not-so-high hills are all the landforms around Yinjing.

Ruobao was even more powerful after getting the Yan army map seized by He Yunxiao. Not only that, she also asked the scouts of the New Chu Army to pay more attention to the mountain paths to enrich the map resources. The modern man He Yunxiao introduced the concept of "contour lines" in a crazy way. The height of each mountain peak is represented by circles of lines on the map.

The accuracy of the contour lines of the Qi map is naturally not comparable to the modern standard map, but this map with the approximate shape of the mountain and the approximate height of the mountain has shocked everyone again. Using two-dimensional graphics and numbers to represent the three-dimensional world, this modern basic operation is indeed a bit difficult for everyone in Qi.

Five thousand New Chu troops arrived at the designated location-a small hill.

Since they were planning to ambush the Yan army, they had to be high above.

Five thousand Yan troops were scattered on several small hills on the left, right, front and back, and there was a curved trade road between these small hills. Under the business road, there are naturally mines buried to entertain the Yan army.

Five thousand people quietly hibernated, waiting for the Yan army escorting food and grass to fall into the trap.

Brother-in-law Chu Fan, Zhang Hu, Zhang Xiong, and others have already been hiding on the top of the mountain ready to attack. He Yunxiao, Zhou Ping, and the heroines stood on a farther hill and watched them fight from afar.

The new Chu army was well prepared for this battle. They brought bows and arrows, buried mines, prepared grenades, and even had suonas for charging. The only thing missing was a red flag.

There was a red flag, but He Yunxiao felt it was not right, or too right, so he had to cancel the flag and change it to a blue background with black "Chu" flag.

This is not only what He Yunxiao meant, but also what Ruobao meant.

No matter how "new" the new Chu army is, it is still the Chu family army. It cannot be named "Fan", otherwise it will change its taste.

Xiaoxiao's main purpose is to play the trump card and guarantee the combat power. Especially after knowing that Yan State has a great master, He Yunxiao dared not let the heroines stay too far away from Xiaoxiao. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao and Taoist Qing Yuzi are the high-end combat forces on his side. Otherwise, if Xiaoxiao is the only one to protect, it is inevitable that there will be times when he is unable to split himself.

He Yunxiao stood on the top of the hill and watched the Yan army's grain convoy walking on the small business road in the mountains like ants moving.

Fan Ziruo, Jiang Wuyou, Zhou Ping, and the guards of the short sword army, all of them were nervous.

The Yan army's grain convoy was moving forward, and suddenly a loud bang exploded under their feet.

This sound was shocking and unusual. Those who were close to it were shattered to pieces, and those who were far away had their eardrums torn. Before the Yan army could react, a rain of arrows followed.

The Yan army soldiers had to hurriedly use shields to block them. Those who reacted quickly had a chance to hide under the grain carts.

But the rain of arrows did not end. After the rain of arrows, twenty grenades were thrown high and fell freely among the soldiers of the Yan army.

The strange explosions and continuous bombings really frightened the soldiers of the Yan army.

But it was not over yet. Then, the suona sounded, and the sound was ups and downs and continuous. The brave Yan soldiers did not know why, so they boldly stretched their heads to see. They saw that the soldiers of the new Chu army rushed towards the Yan army desperately from all directions.

The killing shouts in this world shattered the innocent clouds in the sky and the last bit of luck in the hearts of the Yan soldiers.

I don’t know if the Yan army was surprised, even the heroines felt a little incredible. They had never seen the new Chu army’s way of fighting. They first smashed their heads with long-range weapons, and then went up to pick up heads after dealing with the dead and wounded.

And when the suona sounded, the scene of soldiers charging all over the mountains was also very shocking, which could give people great psychological pressure.

He Yunxiao had seen a lot of things on TV, so he was not surprised. He Yunxiao's calmness made him look more majestic in everyone's mind.

The result of this battle was no surprise. The Yan army escorting the grain and grass was not an elite force. After being bombarded by He Yunxiao, it was easy to harvest.

He Yunxiao broke the habit of the army to leave after the battle. He asked the soldiers of the New Chu Army to clean up the battlefield quickly.

Pick up the swords and arrows, take away all the food that can be taken away, and take away all the horses that can be taken away. The armor on the Yan soldiers should also be taken off and remade and reused. In short, do not miss any resources won by the victory of the battle.

...

The New Chu Army came and went like the wind, fighting quickly, resolving the battle quickly, and evacuating quickly, giving no chance for the Yan Army's possible reinforcements to react.

According to the route of the march, this Yan Army's grain escort team should be delivering grain to the Yan Army's Eastern Army. The Eastern Army of the Yan Army has 70,000 people, while He Yunxiao's new Chu Army has only more than 10,000 people. If the food of 70,000 people is intercepted and given to 10,000 people, it will be no problem to feed them for two or three months.

In the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, Ruobao said: "With this batch of food, we should have no problem holding on until the Yan Army withdraws from Qi."

Several people have just calculated that they can eat for two or three months, but He Yunxiao did not expect that the Yan Army can withdraw from Qi so quickly.

"The Yan Army will not stay for long?"

Fan Ziruo nodded and said: "According to the time calculation, the Southwest King who guards the southwest border of Qi and resists the attack of the Arabs should arrive in half a month. The southwest border army is very powerful, plus the local troops of the Qi Army that have been gathering during this period. After one month, the Qi Army around Yinjing may have a two-to-one advantage over the Yan Army. At that time, there is no need to wait, and we need to fight a decisive battle with the Yan Army."

Ruobao yawned. He continued, "The battle between Qi and Yan cannot be dragged on. It will take three or four months at most, or one or two months at least, to decide the winner."

He Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "I purchased a batch of food from Tingfeng Tower before, which is enough for the New Chu Army to eat for a month. In this case, why don't we distribute the food we robbed from the Yan Army this time?"

Distribute?

In the carriage, Jiang Wuyou and Fan Ziruo looked at each other.

The food that was finally snatched from the Yan Army has to be distributed again?

If He Yunxiao hadn't said this, Jiang Wuyou would have rolled up his sleeves and knocked on that person's head to see if it was broken.

He Yunxiao explained: "Once the Qi-Yan war is over, the court will have time to spare, and our troops will certainly not be left alone. Most of them will be incorporated, and a small part will be self-supporting, but no matter which one, the court will provide us with food. Now, we have enough food to eat, and we can fight the Yan army's food team to rob food, so there is no need to worry about the food of the tens of thousands of people in front of us.

"When I went to Tingfeng Tower to buy food, I realized that this food is not easy to buy. It is not enough to have money, but also to have channels, and to have merchants to store food and transport food. Therefore, for the Qi army stationed around Yinjing, this food must be a rare thing. We cater to their needs and use food to open the way, which will surely quickly expand the influence of the new Chu army..."

Fan Ziruo understood what He Yunxiao meant when he was halfway through.

He Yunxiao's meaning is very simple. Use the food that you don't need to conduct "food diplomacy", build good relations with friendly forces in advance, and gain favors, so as to gain the upper hand when the Northwest King arrives in the future and forms a "Qi State Coalition" to resist Yan.

"OK. "Ruobao said.
