Chapter 416: The Soldiers Will Not Be Lacked of Food and Clothes
This winter is exceptionally cold. It has already started snowing in November.
Ye Tang felt something was unusual and inexplicably thought of the snow and ice disasters, so he asked his family to prepare and store food in advance.
A flying pigeon landed in front of Ye Tang. She let Xiao Yunting go, picked up the pigeon, took out the note and unfolded it.
"They've finally started a fight. Well, let's take this opportunity to end it." Ye Tang murmured in a low voice.
Xiao Yunting looked at his mother in confusion: "Mom, whose letter is this? Is it from Dad? When will Dad come back?"
He misses his dad a little!
Ye Tang gently touched his head: "It's a letter from your father. Your father has something to do and can't come back to spend the New Year with us!"
"Oh, that's such a pity!" Xiao Yunting was a little disappointed: "I was hoping that my father would give me a big red envelope of New Year's money!"
Ye Tang smiled and said, "So you don't miss your dad, you miss the red envelope!"
"No, I miss Dad the most."
"So you don't want the red envelope?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, dad wants one too, and I want a red envelope too!"
"You want everything. You are so greedy."
"I'm just a child, so what if I'm greedy? I'm greedy for my dad, my real dad!"
"Hahaha!"
Ye Tang sent Xiao Yunting to Master Xiao Wu and asked the people in the first house to help take care of him for two days. She took Tan Yun and rode a horse to Tian'an Prefecture and came to Yiwushen Villa.
In war, it is important to send food and fodder before troops move forward.
But the Yuan Dynasty had more than one granary. There were granaries in all places, and almost every household had spare grain, especially Tian'an Prefecture, which was a place with high grain production.
When Ye Tang entered the villa, Yan Xiao had already arranged a team to load food, cotton clothes and other things onto the carriage.
"Madam, why are you here?" Yan Xiao asked with a little surprise when he saw Ye Tang: "We are all ready and are about to set off for Yunling Pass."
Ye Tang said: "I will practice for you."
She raised her hand, and Tan Yun took down the two large bags hanging on the horse's back, opened them, and revealed the white silver inside.
Ye Tang said: "It's dangerous and hard to deliver the gifts this time. You can divide the money among yourself."
Yan Xiao and his group wanted to refuse the gift, but Ye Tang insisted on giving it to them, so Yan Xiao and his group had no choice but to accept it with tears of gratitude.
"Don't worry, Madam. We will definitely deliver the things safely."
Ye Tang nodded: "There is still a lot of food stored in the other two farms. After you finish this trip, you have to make two more trips. The soldiers are fighting in the front, and we, the rear personnel, must ensure that they have enough food and clothing. We must make sure they have enough food and clothing, and have no worries!"
"I understand. We will not let Madam down!"
The team left quickly.
Ye Tang watched the team go away.
There were a lot of stored food, cotton, gold, silver, jewelry and everything else in her space, but she couldn't take them out rashly now.
The Yuan Dynasty now had sufficient food and weapons and did not need her relief for the time being.
Ye Tang jumped on the horse and took Tan Yun to the next farm.
The three armies of the Yuan Dynasty marched very quickly. The armies of the Northern Wing and Fuso had just started fighting when the Yuan army arrived.
In the river that leads from Jiangcheng to the ocean, huge warships stand tall. One after another, Yuan Dynasty navy soldiers, wearing cotton clothes and with stern faces, stand fearlessly on the boats, holding crossbows in their hands, exuding an imposing aura.
This is Jiangcheng’s maritime defense force.
"How is it? Have the Fuso bandits retreated?" Chief General Lu asked his deputy general anxiously.
The deputy general said: "Reporting to the commander, the Fuso bandits have not retreated. They plan to use human wave tactics to deal with us."
Commander Lu sneered: "You overestimate your own capabilities. Do you really think we are soft persimmons? Even if I only have 5,000 people, I can kill their 50,000 people!"
The deputy general smiled bitterly and said, "Commander-in-chief, this battle is not easy to fight. The enemy has too many people. Although we have the advantage of weapons and warships, it will be disadvantageous to us if it drags on."
“What are you filming? The imperial court’s reinforcements will be here soon. In two days at most, I…” Commander Lu was about to show off his power when a soldier came over quickly: “General, here they come! Our reinforcements are here!”
"Who is the leader of the troops?"
"It's General Mo! He brought all the Mo family soldiers with him!"
As soon as the Mo family army entered the city, they were warmly welcomed by the citizens of the city, except for the troops guarding the city.
After asking, I learned that Fuso Kingdom had sent its navy to launch a surprise attack on the waters around Jiangcheng five days ago, and Commander Lu was leading his men in a tenacious resistance.
Because of the upgraded warships and new weapons, the Fuso bandits didn't gain any advantage and couldn't break in anyway.
However, because the other side had more people and more power, Commander Lu and his group did not dare to attack rashly and could only defend steadily.
When General Mo learned of this, he immediately took General Mo onto the warship, went down the river, and entered the sea area where the war was raging.
The Mo family army had more than 100,000 soldiers. The moment they appeared, they scared the Fuso bandits on the opposite side out of their wits!
The Fusang general was furious and terrified: "Is that the Mo family army? Why would the Mo family army come to Jiangcheng? Shouldn't they go to Yunling Pass?"
Fuso and Beiyi joined forces with a total army of 1.5 million, with more than 400,000 in the navy alone.
They sent 500,000 troops to disrupt Yunling Pass, assigned 600,000 troops to crush Yulong Pass, and the rest of the troops formed a naval fleet to launch sneak attacks on the Yuan Dynasty's waters from all directions.
The Yuan Dynasty had an army of one million, but the navy had only two hundred thousand. The Mo family army was a marine corps and was not good at naval battles. They should have participated in land battles, but now they have come to the sea.
"General, should we retreat? The Mo family army has 100,000 soldiers, and we only have 50,000. Plus, our ships are not as good as theirs. I'm afraid..." A deputy general came up to the Fuso chief general and said, but before he could finish, he was slapped by the chief general.
"Shut up, don't encourage others and destroy your own prestige. We are a top-notch marine team trained by Fuso. We will never lose to a small Yuan Dynasty."
call out!
As soon as the chief general finished speaking, a huge arrow flew out from the air, pierced through the deputy general beside him, and pinned him to the deck.
The smelly blood splashed all over the general's face.
He screamed in horror, fell down on the boat, and peed his pants with fright.
"Someone, come and protect this general! Someone, come! Ah!"
The chief general wanted to escape, but he did not notice that the arrow that shot through the deputy general had an inconspicuous black ball tied to it.
The black ball, surrounded by sparks, exploded at the exact moment when the commander had not even gotten up.
"Boom!" A thunder-like explosion sounded. The Fuso soldiers on the ship were startled and ran over anxiously to take a look. They saw a big hole in the ship.
Sea water poured in from the big hole, the deputy general's body was torn into pieces, and flesh was splattered everywhere. The Fuso chief general was lying on the side in a bloody mess, his right hand and right foot were blown off, and he was screaming in agony.
"Ah! It hurts so much! Help!" The chief general cried and shouted, and his voice gradually faded away.
