Chapter 141: Food Raid
The night is as dark as ink, deep and quiet.
Inside the central army tent, the candlelight flickered, casting the figures of Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen onto the rough cloth curtain, swaying with their slight movements.
The faces of the two commanders looked even more solemn in the dim candlelight, as if they were bronze statues weathered by the years.
The departure of Jiao Mo and Mo Peng made the atmosphere in the big tent even more solemn.
"General Tie, do you think the enemy's logistics supply route can be our breakthrough point?"
Xue Rengui took a deep breath and broke the silence.
"Master Xue is absolutely right."
"At present, most of the Qizhou army is being held back by our Cangzhou army in the mountains of Qizhou, and their logistics supply must be their weak point."
"If we can cut off their supply lines, the enemy will naturally fall into chaos without a fight."
Upon hearing this, Tie Shiwen frowned, glanced at the topographic map of Qizhou, pondered for a moment, and then spoke slowly.
Xue Rengui's eyes flashed with admiration. He stood up, walked to the map, and traced a winding route with his finger: "This is the enemy's logistics supply route. There are many food storage places along the way."
"I intend to attack one of them to destroy the enemy's food supply."
Tie Shiwen walked up to Xue Rengui and followed his finger on the map.
Their eyes moved across the map, finally stopping at a heavily marked area where the enemy stored food.
Xue Rengui tapped his fingers lightly on the map, as if he wanted to penetrate the thin layer of paper and directly touch the land of sword and fire.
When Xue Rengui's finger stopped at a spot marked as "the enemy's important grain storage area", Tie Shiwen's eyes suddenly focused: "General Xue, this place is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack."
"If you want to attack this place, you need to plan carefully."
Xue Rengui nodded: "General Tie is right."
"I have asked the lord's Luowang to investigate this place. Although the terrain is dangerous, it is not invulnerable."
"As long as we can catch them by surprise and attack them when they are unprepared, we will surely succeed in one fell swoop."
The two of them began to discuss every detail of the attack plan in detail in the big tent.
The enemy's troop deployment, fortifications, patrol routes, and possible unexpected situations were analyzed.
Every detail was repeatedly scrutinized and revised until they were sure the plan was foolproof.
Tie Shiwen's words revealed his deep understanding of the Qi army and his keen insight into the battle situation.
It gives a detailed introduction to the terrain features of the enemy's grain storage area, including the surrounding mountains, rivers, road traffic, as well as the enemy's troop deployment and defensive fortifications.
Special emphasis is also placed on possible countermeasures that the enemy may take and possible unexpected situations.
As the discussion deepened, Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen began to gradually clarify the details of the attack plan.
They planned key issues such as the timing, route, troop allocation and attack method of the attack.
Every detail was repeatedly scrutinized and revised until they were sure the plan was flawless.
In this process, the tacit understanding between Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen was fully demonstrated.
They complement and inspire each other and jointly tackle various problems and challenges.
Thoughts are like two sharp swords, intertwined together and emitting dazzling light.
The night gradually deepened, but the lights in the big tent were still bright.
The figures of Xue Rengui and Tie Shiwen overlapped on the map, as if they had woven an invisible net together, firmly covering the enemy's grain storage area.
Finally, after a long discussion, they finally finalized the attack plan.
Xue Rengui looked at Tie Shiwen, his eyes flashing with determination: "General Tie, this attack mission is extraordinary."
"You lead General Jiao Mo to go with you, and make sure everything goes well." "I will support General Mo Peng from the rear, just in case!"
Tie Shiwen straightened his back and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Don't worry, General Xue, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
The night was as dark as water, and the moonlight shone through the cracks into the big tent, casting a layer of silver luster on the figures of the two commanders.
The night is as dark as ink, deep and quiet.
On the vast land of Qizhou, an elite force is marching silently.
Their target was exactly the grain storage area of Qi’s army.
Tie Shiwen, with a big bald head, was leading Jiao Mo, the Great Sage Covering the Sea, and walking at the front of the team.
The group moved silently, as if blending into the night.
Tie Shiwen in front had a firm and sharp look in his eyes, as if he could penetrate through the layers of fog and reach his target directly.
He knew that the importance of this attack mission was self-evident.
If successful, it will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the Qi army in the mountains and win precious opportunities for the Cangzhou army led by Li Jing.
Jiao Mo followed closely behind, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
As a newly born god of war, he is eager to achieve success on the battlefield and prove his worth.
The team marched quickly in the night, bypassing enemy patrols and avoiding traps and obstacles.
Tie Shiwen and Jiao Mo remained vigilant at all times, their eyes scanning everything around them in the darkness, not missing any suspicious movement.
After a long and arduous journey, they finally arrived near their destination.
The Qi army's grain storage area was right in front of them. It was a huge granary, surrounded by dense fortifications and patrol teams.
Tie Shiwen quickly observed the terrain and the enemy's deployment, then whispered to Jiao Mo: "General Jiao, you lead a team to outflank from the left, and I will lead another team to attack from the front."
"Remember, our goal is to destroy the granary. Don't fight too long."
Jiao Mo nodded to show that he understood.
He immediately led a team of elite soldiers and quietly encircled the enemy to the left.
Tie Shiwen led another team of soldiers and quietly approached the granary.
At this moment, Xue Rengui and Mo Peng were also preparing to provide support in the rear.
Their eyes were always fixed on the battlefield ahead, waiting for signals from Tie Shiwen and Jiao Mo.
Xue Rengui knew that the key to the success of this attack mission lay in whether they could respond to the attack from the front in a timely manner.
Xue Rengui looked at Mo Peng, his eyes sparkling: "General Mo Peng, are you ready?"
Mo Peng straightened his back and said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Don't worry, Commander Xue, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
Xue Rengui nodded, and his gaze turned to the battlefield ahead again.
According to his estimation, Tie Shiwen and Jiao Mo had probably already started a fierce battle at this moment.
He was looking forward to news of their victory and was ready to support the attack at any time.
At the same time, Tie Shiwen and Jiao Mo had already launched their operations near the enemy's grain storage area.
"kill!"
Tie Shiwen led his soldiers to attack from the front. Their weapons flashed coldly in the moonlight, and every swing took away an enemy life.
As night fell, fires flickered in the camp on the side of the Qi army. The soldiers were warming themselves around the fire and chatting about family matters, unaware that a sudden disaster was about to strike.
