Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 43 Looting
Although he was prepared for the arrival of the Kamanians, Jin Zecheng found that he still underestimated the marching speed of the Kamanians. Two thousand cavalry teams have approached the Caizhai grain storage depot. Fortunately, the remaining one million shi of grain has already started to be shipped within these two days. Within three days, more than 4,000 vehicles of various sizes were mobilized and collected. The first two batches of vehicles had already left the Caizhai Grain Depot and passed through the Ganlan Fortress, while the latter two batches of grain had also passed through Yinchuan Fucheng was marching towards Ganlan, but at this time the Kamanian cavalry had already arrived.
Jin Zecheng did not intend to ambush the Kamans at this time. If the light armored cavalry of the Kamans is not weak in terms of combat effectiveness alone, it is not as weak as the cavalry of the two regiments in their hands, let alone the opponents occupy more in terms of numbers. Absolute advantage, he has to wait for an opportune time, and wait for the Kaman people to focus all their attention on food before giving them a fatal blow.
Facing the mighty two teams of grain carts that were slowly marching northward, the Kaman cavalry vanguard who arrived first almost had red eyes. In the territory of the Heathrow Empire, there is a road junction not far from here into the territory of the Heathrow Empire, which is the main road connecting the Heathrow Empire and its own empire. It is a main road in the southern part of the country, from where you can drive vehicles directly to the north gate of Jiayuguan, and from there you can go north to the capital Budley City, and then you can even go east along the northern foot of the Zagros Mountains. As far as Northern Terok, the road is in far better condition than the one to the south.
And the second convoy has already passed Yinchuan City and is heading north. When the Kamanian vanguard cavalry found the two fat sheep that came to their door, they simply didn't know how to describe their mood. , but soon they found that they were too happy too early. This batch of food was actually purchased by Sisrow people from Xijiang. Facing the food in front of them, they could not do it themselves. The eyes of the Kamans, who were already driven mad by logistical problems, were bloodshot.
The news was fed back to Ferdinand at the first time. It was only then that Ferdinand understood why Qingyang and Yinchuan had completely different reactions. It turned out that this batch of grain had already been sold to No wonder Xijiang people would look like they are facing a big enemy in Qingyang, but they are so leisurely and itchy in Yinchuan.
But now there is no way to retreat, the nomadic cavalry under Li Wufeng must have been chasing here from all directions, if I delay a little, I am afraid that these tens of thousands of troops will be buried here, but if I just Returning empty-handed in such a disheveled way, not only General Mailey couldn't spare him, but even Ferdinand himself and his subordinates felt that they were really useless. Then think of the fact that it was the betrayal of the Sithrow people that led to the disintegration of the original alliance of friendship and mutual assistance among the Liberian countries. To get so much food supply, but one's own side had to run around for this food.
Seeing the eyes of all the officers on his face, Ferdinand didn't know how to make a decision at this time. According to intelligence, there is still a lot of grain in the grain depot on the outskirts of Yinchuan City. The food has already been bought by Xisluo people, not to mention the two teams of grain trucks that are already on the road. There is no grain belonging to Xijiang people in the entire Yinchuan grain reserve. Time to make a decision.
Somewhat anxiously, he let the horse under his crotch spin around on the spot. Although Ferdinand knew that he was already riding a tiger and had to take this step, even so, he still couldn't make a quick move. Such a decision, after all, the possible consequences of this may be disastrous. Although the Sithrows have gradually alienated their empire, they are of the same origin and belong to the countries of Liberia, and the countries of Liberia The covenant of mutual aid and friendship that was signed at the beginning did not become invalid. Once his army plundered the food of the allies, Ferdinand really couldn't predict what kind of consequences would happen.
Looking up, several ten thousand riders are waiting for their decision, it can be seen that they are all looking forward to this moment, but do they understand the consequences of this decision?
Later generations could not understand Ferdinand's thoughts at that time, and Ferdinand never mentioned to outsiders why he did this at that time, but his behavior was recognized by the officers and all the soldiers at that time. Unanimous support. Afterwards, when the military court of the Kaman Empire investigated the cause and effect of this incident, Ferdinand also fully assumed the responsibility he should bear. Without the joint guarantee of Nick and Mailey, Ferdinand would have been hanged long ago. Died by the noose.
Now that the decision was made, Ferdinand simply kept going. After ordering three teams of thousands to forcibly **** the food convoy that was about to enter the territory of the Sithrow Empire, diverted eastward to his own country, Ferdinand Nan also ordered the remaining seven thousand-man teams to forcibly take over the second batch of convoys between Yinchuan Fucheng and Ganlan Fortress. Regardless of the difficulty of vehicles passing through the field, he ordered the convoy to bypass Ganlan Fortress and head north. The second batch of convoys were able to bypass Ganlan Fortress safely. Ferdinand even ordered a cavalry of ten thousand cavalry to monitor near Ganlan Fortress. give a blow.
Of the remaining two ten thousand cavalry teams, except for one ten thousand cavalry team wandering around the prefecture of Yinchuan to monitor the possible appearance of the Western Frontier Army in and around Yinchuan, Ferdinand led 10,000 cavalrymen and more than 30,000 pack horses to go straight to Yinchuan The suburban grain storage depot is going to use these more than 30,000 pack horses to carry out the third wave of looting.
Marderno never expected that there would be such a big mistake in the food business he handled, and the problem was not with the Xijiang people, but with the Kaman people. He couldn't figure it out He couldn't believe how the Kaman people came all the way to the Yinchuan grain storage depot to **** the grain belonging to the allies.
When he received a report from Yinchuan Prefecture that the Kamanians were in a hurry to grab food everywhere in Yinchuan Prefecture, Marderno did not realize that this had anything to do with him. The Kamanians and the Xijiang people have been in a state of war This situation is well known, and it is only natural for the Kamanians to plunder in the enemy's territory, but Marderno doesn't understand how Li Wufeng would let the Kamanians harass him in his heartland, which is obviously not in line with Li Wufeng's temper . But thinking about it, Li Wufeng is now stationed in the south, and the troops in the northwest are empty. It is reasonable for the Kaman people to see this and sweep Yinchuan.
But how could he not have expected that this gang of Kaman soldiers who were almost driven crazy by hunger would actually target him directly, and after seeing so much food belonging to the Sithrow Empire, when the emergency notification from the Yinchuan government came again It was passed to him once, and when he also discovered a large number of Kamanians appearing near the grain storage, Marderno realized that this matter seemed not as simple as he imagined. At this time, Marderno did a very wise thing, that is, before the Kamanans completed the siege of the grain depot, he quietly ordered the guard soldiers who followed him to get out in time and inform the garrison general stationed in Nuremberg of the situation. In case of a situation, please immediately send troops to protect the food transportation, and ask the other party to immediately report to the capital that the Kamanians are likely to rob the empire of food.
Ferdinand looked at the unruly Heathrow official in front of him, his face was cloudy and uncertain. To be honest, Ferdinand thought he was not inferior to others in the battle and marching, but he was not good at all kinds of politics. This arrogant guy in front of him is still so arrogant when he is armed with swords~IndoMTL.com~ He even ordered his subordinates to stop immediately. Such arrogance is unheard of. Hearing what his subordinates said, Ferdinand took a break from his busy schedule to meet the Heathrow grain transshipment ambassador.
In fact, when the Kaman army approached the grain depot, Marderno already knew that he had been fooled by the cunning Xijiang people. The Xijiang people must have known in advance that the Kaman people would raid Yinchuan to rob grain. It's just that in that case, there is no way for anyone to transfer the one million dan grains away. No wonder they are so enthusiastic and active to deliver the grains to themselves, and they also find some fabricated reasons to deceive themselves. I don't know, I fell into such a big trick. But this moment is no longer the time to regret, not to mention that I have accepted the bribe from the other party, I have already signed and pledged on the acceptance procedures, and there are many witnesses, the people of Xijiang have washed away all responsibilities clean.
But Marderno didn't blame the Xijiang people. After all, they acted according to the rules, and there was nothing out of the ordinary. At most, they used the rules of the game to avoid risks. If they wanted to seize this batch of food, it was because they didn't know that it belonged to the Sithrow Empire. Once they knew the details, they should be able to tell the difference.
"Are you the so-called Baron Ferdinand? The commander of the Kamanians?" Marderno fixed his eyes on the other party, and asked the other party in a calm tone as much as possible.
Ferdinand wanted to answer no, this kind of blatant looting was not in line with his personality, but the situation forced him to do it, and the target of the looting has changed from the enemy Xijiang people before the original plan. He became an ally of the Sithrow, and this huge contrast made him not know how to answer for a while.
