The most basic survival skills in the wild, every soldier will be taught by the general of his own camp after entering the camp.
Even in very harsh environments, Qin soldiers will be very strong and survive.
Two days later, the Qin army on the front line attacked very hard.
Therefore, many camps in the Yan Kingdom were pulled out!
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
As the attacker, the Qin army suffered losses comparable to those of the Yan army.
Liu Wenqin, on the other hand, started to worry as Huo Ji still remained silent.
He was afraid, what if Huo Ji fell into the encirclement of the Yan army and was destroyed by the Yan army?
Of course, it stands to reason that there must be no news about Huo Ji from the Yan army! Huo Ji's army has not been discovered yet.
However, it had been five or six days, and Huo Ji and his soldiers had already run out of ammunition and food. In such a bad situation, Liu Wenqin began to worry again whether Huo Ji would starve to death.
Even Dongfang Yu placed his trust in Huo Ji for the victory of this battle.
If Xiongcheng can be captured, the Yan Kingdom will be defeated, and it won't take long before the troops can directly attack Youdu City, the capital of the Yan Kingdom.
Huo Ji, who was ambushing in the mountains at this moment, had not slept much for two days. The soldiers were all very hungry. Eating leaves and bark was really not something humans could swallow. Moreover! The leaves and bark eaten were very difficult to digest, and many soldiers were already sparse in the army.
If this continues, before the Yan army comes to destroy them, they themselves will probably die here.
The most important thing is that the 5,000 war horses they sat on rarely eat because they have been wearing horse pout these past few days.
"General, I estimate that Yan's Yunliang team won't be here for a while. We can't sit here and starve to death! Otherwise... we will use our last breath to attack Yan's army directly." The deputy general suggested.
hehe!
Huo Ji shook his head helplessly, "It's useless. The Yan army has 290,000 troops on the front line. Without His Majesty's response, we probably wouldn't be able to attack even a single camp and would be annihilated by the Yan army."
Crunch!
It was at this moment that the carriage suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain, and the carriage board made a "creaking" sound.
"General, look... look, Yan... Yan Army's grain transport convoy!"
The scouting soldiers actually cried with joy when they saw the Yan State's grain transport convoy.
Isn't it because they persisted for so long just for Yan Jun's grain transport convoy!
The long grain truck stretches endlessly, and it is difficult to see the end at a glance.
A grain truck can transport more than a thousand kilograms, and here! There were thousands of grain trucks and no less than 3,000 soldiers guarding them.
There were also drivers driving the horses, totaling four to five thousand people.
"It's good luck. I didn't expect... our army only waited five days for the Yan army's grain transport troops." Huo Ji looked at the soldiers behind him and shouted in a low voice:
"Cheer up, general!"
"Later, our army will be divided into two parts, each leading two thousand troops, and they will attack from the front and back!"
"Leave a thousand people behind, occupy the commanding heights, and shoot at the soldiers accompanying the Yan army from a high position."
"Remember, use the fastest speed to deal with the Yan army. If the Yan army soldiers escape, don't pursue them. Do you understand?" Huo Ji looked at everyone nervously.
Five thousand soldiers suddenly woke up and looked solemn. Fortunately! The five thousand Qin troops did not lose their fighting spirit because of the destruction they suffered in the past few days.
Whether we can succeed or not depends on today.
The Yan army at the bottom of the valley did not know that they had gradually fallen into the trap of the Qin army.
This huge grain transport convoy has extremely dispersed troop positions and is the easiest to be eliminated.
When Yan Jun's grain transport convoy exposed its tail.
The Qin army on the mountain immediately raised their heads, and the bows and arrows in their hands were already aimed at the Yan army that was slowly advancing.
As the frontline and rear areas of the Yan Army, they naturally would not worry about the Qin Army appearing here. In their view, it was simply impossible for the Qin Army to appear here.
"I'm aiming a little closer, do you see it? If we kill this group of Yan troops, we can have enough to eat."
Looking at Yan Jun's grain transport convoy, Qin Jun's mouth couldn't help but squeak.
The hunger made Qin Jun crazy.
"put!"
The general who led the army suddenly stood up, pointed at the Yan army at the foot of the mountain with a sharp sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.
Thousands of Qin soldiers stood up one after another, and the bow strings that were pulled out shot out instantly. The arrows were like bullets, making a sharp "swish" sound, and shot towards the Yan army soldiers.
puff!
As soon as Yi Yan Bing reacted, he looked in the direction of the mountain strangely. The next second, the arrow shot through his chest and flew to the ground. A large mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth. out.
Just as the other Yan soldiers were about to react, the flying arrows killed them without mercy.
The upper board of the grain truck was even more nailed with arrows.
"No, it's the Qin Army, it's the Qin Army..."
The grain transport officer who was escorting the grain and fodder had just reacted when he saw an arrow, like a beast, piercing the throat of the grain transport officer.
The grain transport officer's body was shot several meters away like a cannonball.
After a hundred steps, he pierced the poplars, but no arrows were missed. He only saw the front. Huo Ji opened his bow again and shot another arrow, killing a Yan soldier.
"Soldiers, follow me and kill all the Yan soldiers, leaving no one behind!"
At this time, the Qin army's eyes were all red, and they were like wild beasts, overwhelmingly attacking the Yan soldiers.
I saw the steel knife with a cold light slashing across it. Before the Yan army had time to fight back, their throats were instantly wiped away, and blood spattered.
When the Yan army fell in large numbers, many Yan troops also gathered together and fought back against the Qin army.
Although the Yan army shot and killed many Qin soldiers, under the Qin army's cavalry, any obstruction was useless.
The swarm of Yan troops were instantly blown away and crashed to the ground mercilessly.
The Qin troops on both sides were attacking from the front and back. The Yan troops had no time to shrink and were rushing one by one.
Huo Ji annihilated 4,000 Yan troops at the cost of hundreds of men.
Those Yan soldiers who wanted to escape had no chance at all.
The battle lasted for more than an hour and ended.
Even though the Qin army was very hungry, they didn't plunder like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"General, the battlefield has been cleaned. Our army has killed more than 300 people. What should we do with the bodies of these brothers?"
the deputy general asked.
"The dead are buried in great numbers, so let's bury them on that hillside!"
"In addition, we have food now. We need to feed the war horses and the stomachs of the soldiers. Next! What we have to face will be the regular army of Yan State. This will be a fierce battle!" Huo Ji clenched his fists and shouted in a vibrating voice.
"The last general takes command!"
Five thousand soldiers, after taking Xiongcheng, they will face an attack by hundreds of thousands of troops. This... will definitely be a fierce battle.
