Chapter 791 The War in Nanhu County Ends Five

After ten minutes of rescue, Shun Jun finally grabbed all the food they could grab and put it on their boat.

More than a dozen bags of grain were completely submerged in water and could not be rescued.

"It doesn't matter, this food is almost enough."

"The Gan Army will definitely have to transport food from Dongting County in a few days. Then we can just find a way to grab some."

Wang Yong thought very clearly that they needed to consume a lot of food, and the army in Nanhu County also needed it. They were not heavenly soldiers and generals. They could survive by drinking wind and dew every day.

The more elite the army, the greater the daily consumption.

Ordinary troops may only train once every few days. If they train less, they will consume less physical energy and eat less.

But the elite troops are different. Even if there are no combat missions, they insist on training once a day. Their physical energy consumption is less than during combat, and they need to supplement their nutrition.

Food and meat are essential.

That’s why grain-carrying ships from the Qian Kingdom appear frequently on Dongting Lake.

Shenwuwei has been able to requisition some grain in Nanhu County, but the bulk of it still has to be transported from Dongting County.

Zhao Long has sent more people to attack the hinterland of Nanhu County. Shi Kuan's men have restrained many loyal troops in the hinterland of Nanhu County, making it easier for Zhao Long's new people to attack.

Liu Jiwu didn't have any good solution.

If he wants to block Qian's army in the northern part of Nanhu County, he must either divide his forces from the frontline army to block it, or move troops from the southern city of Nanhu County to the north to block it.

Neither one is a good idea.

The first option definitely won't work. Even if Liu Jiwu doesn't transfer troops, he still feels that the troops and horses under his command are not enough. I'm afraid the defeat will be faster after they are transferred.

It was originally a good idea to mobilize troops from the southern city, but Liu Jiwu gave up this idea after he already knew that Zhao Long had an extremely fast cavalry.

Only when the city at the rear is stable can the army at the front be stable.

A large part of Nanhu County's subordinate soldiers were recruited from Nanhu County. Once their hometown is occupied by Ganjun, even if it is just harassment, they will be shaken and have no intention to fight.

How could I fight the enemy wholeheartedly when my hometown was about to be raided?

Therefore, there is no need to think about large-scale deployment of troops to prevent the Qian army from going south.

Only a small number of troops can be mobilized from each city to form a city-city coalition, relying on the terrain and cities to prevent the army from going south.

Although the county soldiers and garrison troops in each city were under Liu Jiwu's command, they were not familiar with each other.

They might not have seen each other for several years before Liu Jiwu came.

It was only after Liu Jiwu came to Nanhu County that he transferred and rotated the county soldiers in each city and increased the number of defenders. Only then did the generals and soldiers in each city have some understanding of other cities.

In order to deal with Shi Kuan's troops, soldiers from six cities briefly gathered together.

The result was not good. The soldiers and horses of Jing'an City were defeated by Shi Kuan without even seeing their comrades from other cities.

The troops from the other five cities were also tricked by Shi Kuan, and only less than 300 people from Nan'an City and Nanshui City escaped.

After the South Route Army was defeated, the North Route Army could only join up with the Central Route Army and stop advancing towards Huqiu Mountain.

This gave Shi Kuan's troops two more days to rest and recuperate, but as soon as the two days were up, Shi Kuan led his troops and horses to leave the Huqiu Hills.

After all, Huqiu is still too small. Although there are more than a dozen towns, even if they are all conquered by Shi Kuan, the Nanhu County government may still be able to swallow this sigh of relief.

If Shi Kuan's troops conquer one or two, or even three or four towns, they may become furious and urge the Shun army to immediately send troops to encircle and suppress them.

Once Shi Kuan's tribe captured more than a dozen towns in a row, they did not dare to easily urge the Shun army to encircle Shi Kuan's tribe. If the Shun army was defeated after they made a noise, who would it be?

So the six-city coalition, no, now it's the three-city coalition, and they are still guarding the Tiger Hill Hills without moving.

The supplies in Huqiu allow them to live very comfortably, and the towns that have not been breached are also willing to provide them with additional supplies. As long as they are willing to stay, we will never bomb!

Several towns that had been breached were still located on the outskirts of the hills, but they had long since changed.

The town is still the same town, but the people in the town will never come back.

With the coalition forces here, the people in the remaining towns will feel more at ease.

They can only continue to make money if people's hearts are stable, so what's the point of providing some extra supplies?

Sprinkle some water!

This just provided Shi Kuan with a wider space for activities.

Now he really became the monkey who got into the belly of Princess Iron Fan. The noisy Nanhu County government was very worried, but there was no good way to deal with him in a short time.

The failure of the six-city coalition forces made the defenders of each city understand that it was useless to simply send troops from each city to unite to encircle and suppress the army without making any preparations.

Not only cannot the Qianjun be eliminated, but the Qianjun will seize the loopholes and cause heavy casualties to the coalition forces.

Therefore, they learned from the last experience and lessons, and in the future they must go through a run-in before sending out troops to encircle and suppress the Qian army.

The Qian army must be encircled and suppressed, and the coalition army must be formed.

It's just that they need a little time for the coalition forces to get along better and display stronger combat effectiveness.

"Don't worry, sir. As long as our seven-city coalition forces are fully integrated, those cadres will definitely die without a burial place!"

Nanhu County officials really did not want to urge Shunjun to send troops easily, but Shi Kuanbu's actions forced him to do so.

"General Jian, I don't want to urge you to send troops easily. The lesson learned last time was enough!"

"It's just that the cadres are extremely arrogant and wantonly attacking villages and towns outside the city, causing Nanhu County to become a mess. If they are allowed to continue causing chaos, even if this cadre army is wiped out in the future, you and I will not be able to escape the blame!"

How could General Jian not know this truth?

"I don't have a good idea. If I don't let them get used to each other, I will fight. The probability of defeat is too high!"

"If we lose the next battle, Liu Shuai will not let us go."

"Compared with the punishment in the future, saving your life is the most important thing now, isn't it?"

After General Jian finished speaking, the two people in the room fell silent at the same time.

too difficult!

Why is it so difficult to fight against Qian Guo!

Are we still the three hegemonic countries?

Why can’t we even defeat a group of rebels now?

Although they lost nearly half of their territory, some Shunguo officials and generals still retained the pride of being the overlord.

In the battle of Nanhu County, the Shun army commanded by Liu Jiwu was already facing an overall disadvantage.

Only Xu Fan's troops on Dongting Lake were a little more proactive and could cause some trouble to Ganjun.

But only a little.

Now that the Qian Kingdom has an angry dragon army again, this problem will soon be solved.

On Dongting Lake, after Wang Yong robbed nearly two thousand shi of food, he did not continue to pursue the retreating Gan army.

What are you doing to catch up?

It's impossible to catch up.

It was almost impossible at first, but now that there are two thousand more stones of food, it is even harder to catch up.

It doesn't matter if he can't catch up, Wang Yong won't be angry either.

"Let's go, brothers, go back to camp!"

The Shun army led by Wang Yong returned to camp happily. On the other side, ten warships led by Xu Fan were still wandering in the center of Dongting Lake.

He was worried that Dongting County's cadres would ambush the team he sent to chase the grain ship.

As a result, no!

"It seems that I really thought too much. The navy of Ganjun is still as bad as before!"

"Go back to camp."

Xu Fan's warships returned to their camp one after another. This camp was built in a short time, so it was very crude.

But it is very important to Xu Fan's department, at least it ensures that they have a place to dock and will not be discovered by Qian's army.

Although the camp is crude, it can save lives!
