Chapter 1044
The place where Ye Weida came to the border was also poor, because it was the border between the two countries, and the villages and farmers here were also very poor.
The reason why there is such poverty is that there are bandits on both sides. What the bandits do is of course tyrannical robbery and the like. The farmers are the ones who suffer the most.
Ye Weida also knew clearly that in the small village next door, their country also had landlords and the like, and the wealthy households, of course, colluded with officials.
With good fields, those poor families can only rent their land and farm.
If they could not afford to raise their children, they would sell them or join a wealthy family and work as a slave.
This kind of war between the two countries is the military service that some farmers must perform.
Ye Weida knew more clearly that despite the fact that the opposite country wanted to cause a war, in fact they were also chilling the poorest farmers.
Generally, soldiers do it for money. Where does the money come from?
Is it the taxes they pay?
They are still from a wealthy family, they don't go out to other people, they just want to drink soup with them.
He found that there were some villages very close to this place. Those deserters or soldiers who had run out of food were robbing nearby villages.
Ye Weida was at the city gate before, looking at the land and mountains here from a high distance.
Although the border of their country is also very poor, and the land is similar to that of the country next door. Although there is water in their city, it is far from the most fertile land city.
Moreover, the reason why the two countries went to war was because some people in this country were fighting for their fertile land.
Ye Weida didn't care about some ambitious people. He only fought hard when it was related to his own family.
Born into a family of military generals, I was taught from an early age what it means to be loyal to the country and how to serve the people.
When they are all around, they have such a responsibility. In this kind of responsibility, they practice martial arts hard and one day defend their home and country.
In the place of suffering, they only think that if the people in the country are safe, there will be no war and they will not become cannon fodder in the war.
After being reborn, his thoughts have changed a lot. Some things are not just about their loyalty, but also about strategy.
Ye Weida first ignored the competition among those ambitious people. If an emperor could not bear the responsibility, then he would just change to another emperor.
As for whether a member of the royal family became the emperor?
Ye Weida has no one to settle the score with at the moment. He must first settle the people in this country and then return to Beijing to take revenge.
He has many enemies, including those from the previous government and his accomplices.
He quietly came to a place where he was stationed. There were many Mercedes stationed here. This could be said to be the headquarters of a certain marshal.
It seems that there are not many soldiers. Have you not brought all the soldiers here?
Ye Weida was quite confused, but he didn't know that because of his intervention and because he manipulated the city's formation, the Barbarian Country's first plan failed.
Tens of thousands of people died, many died, and some escaped.
More importantly, the commander-in-chief is dead.
Originally, in the first battle, as a marshal, he was not a vanguard. He led his people to the front line in the first battle.
The marshal thought that the plan was foolproof. With the internal and external coordination, they only had to climb the city wall and open the city gate.
Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed in, killed the soldiers, generals, and even the people in the city until they could not fight back, and captured the city, then they could attack the next city.
More soldiers can be brought over, who would want to get them?
They did not expect that they would fail in the first battle and could not enter the city.
It is still impossible to know how their collaborators failed?
They didn't know that their collaborators were such useless people that they couldn't do this at all.
The two parties are ambitious and cooperate together. Of course, you use me and I use you.
When signing cooperation, it is the cooperation signed by their king and the other party.
Their general is also full of confidence because of this cooperation.
Who knew that a marshal, as a general, would die in the first battle.
Still trampled to death.
The original marshal died, and then a marshal had to be selected.
These officials in the barbarian country are officials elected by people from many tribes.
Warriors are so-called warriors, and they are always closely related to those in their tribe.
The marshal has been selected, but the other tribes are not willing to accept it and have not sent out more troops.
The new marshal also needs to organize troops, horses and food. The previous marshal is dead and their strategy has changed again. They cannot rely on collaborators. It will not be easy just relying on them.
Moreover, the opponent has a formation to seal the city, and their mage here has not yet solved the formation problem.
What Ye Weida saw now was that there was plenty of food and grass in the base camp, but not many people.
Thinking that these grains and grass belong to him.
The Barbarian Country is a place with deserts. Although there are oases and planting areas, they can supply so much food and grass.
I have been preparing for a long time, and I am ready for war.
Ye Weida's idea was not wrong. The other party exchanged some other items for food.
The merchants in their country are responsible for exchanging things for more food and grass.
Of course, these people will also hide. They have settled in the country next door for a long time, using money to buy fields and shops.
The more important thing is to purchase food so that they can have food to eat and fight in their poor land.
Ye Weida asked them to exchange goods, horses, cattle and sheep, which can be exchanged for food.
There is another item in the barbarian country that can return more money and food.
That is oil, which is a kind of oil that can light lamps. It looks black, but it can be used to light lamps.
Can also be used for other purposes.
They use this oil to exchange for more supplies.
Ye Weida entered the base camp invisibly. Of course, their granary was guarded by soldiers.
There are soldiers patrolling even in the base camp.
In broad daylight, he entered invisible, so the other party couldn't see him clearly or see him.
He passed by the soldiers and the patrols, making faces at those people.
The boy behaved a little childishly.
"There was a gust of wind passing by just now, did you feel it?"
Soldier A guarding the door said to B.
"Wind, where is the wind? It's very hot."
They are standing here, although there are tents and the like, camping here.
But they were at the door, not standing on the sand where the dust was flying. The sun above their heads was shining down, and it was very hot.
It was also torture for them to stand still.
"Do you feel it? Are there eyes watching us?"
A patrol of soldiers walked two by two, not one row at a time.
You can also talk while walking around.
“The people we camp here are our soldiers, so they are looking at us?”
"I think there are people, maybe people from different tribes watching us, right?"
"It's possible!" The tribes of the Barbarian Country are not so harmonious, and they also have competition.
In this war, SY City fought against the other side, but it also divided into factions.
Those generals and officials, they supervise each other or compete for power.
The soldiers below, who have no faction or affiliation, have become cannon fodder. They are cautious, fearing that one day they will become cannon fodder.
During the war, they rushed to the front, and now they are together in twos. It is also because the people above have arranged for their own people, and they are not trustworthy about each other.
Ye Weida's eyes and consciousness can sensitively listen, observe, and even know every move in the entire base camp.
He saw a marshal in a tent. The marshal and the generals were discussing how to attack their country.
I found out that it was not the marshal before, I knew it clearly, because he changed the first battle, killed one of their marshals here, and used their officials to split.
Ye Weida smiled happily, "What's your strategy for joining the group? Wait a moment and I'll let you see what you can use to attack us?"
Your food and grass are gone. How long can you sustain it?
Ye Weida knew that his invisibility talisman had a time limit and he had to solve it quickly. He also had to replace the invisibility talisman with another one when the efficiency of the first invisibility service disappeared.
The food storage in the base camp is one big tent after another, with some coarse grains and fine grains, as well as grass for horses.
These grasses are a specially grown prairie grass.
Ye Weida saw that every tent was guarded by soldiers, and he had to quickly collect supplies from one tent after another.
He tried to collect food from behind the tent without entering the tent.
He has already learned this special effect because he has practiced and can collect materials into the space without touching the food in his hands.
Using his fastest footwork, when he was not moving, there were no traces under his feet. It was only when he practiced footwork that he learned that there was a footwork that could leave no traces when stepping on the ground.
Just like Qing Gong, it is different from ordinary Qing Gong. With this kind of pace, you can achieve this ability as long as you practice it to the beginning.
But the prerequisite is that he can cultivate immortality, and he can reach a certain level of cultivation to achieve this requirement.
Even if you were invisible just now, walking on the sand, if you are careful, you can see people's footprints on the ground.
Only by relying on this kind of footwork, he can remain invisible and prevent the soldiers from noticing his arrival.
Ye Weida quickly put everything in tents one after another, whether it was food or grass, into the warehouse he prepared.
In order to come here to collect supplies, he dropped some supplies from the previous warehouse in the military camp.
I also asked Jiang Tang to get some storage bags, which can hold many things.
On this trip, in addition to loading these grains and grass, he also planned to visit a certain oil-producing place.
In order to hold the oil, he made a special storage bag to hold it.
In this storage bag, there are wooden barrels that he asked people to beat. Each barrel can hold a lot of oil.
Of course, there are also some clay jars in another storage bag, which can also be used to hold oil.
The reason why Ye Weida was so successful in that battle with fireballs was that the marshal was too conceited.
If they use oiled arrow fire when shooting arrows, the formation they set up may collapse.
But there is no if, it is because they are arrogant and brought oil with them. This did not use oil arrows, but his fireball technique.
That’s why so many people died.
Ye Weida collected the food from one tent after another and went to the place where the weapons were kept.
The weapons they have here are swords and arrows.
Ye Weida knew how they got so much iron and were able to make so many weapons.
But these things are all his now.
Ye Weida showed a sinister smile, moved a little away from this place, and fired fireballs on certain tents.
He is invisible, and the fireball speed is too fast, even if there is a patrol.
The tent was surrounded by soldiers, none of whom could resist the fireball spell.
One by one, the small fireballs went towards the tents one after another at the speed of arrows.
Ordinary soldiers are not qualified to live in tents.
The generals lived in the tents, as well as items, tools and the like.
More likely it was someone who brought it.
Ye Weida saw fireballs one after another, which were only as big as glass balls. They seemed to have eyes, and each fireball headed towards a tent.
When the fireball hits the tent, the fireball will suddenly explode and become larger, just like fire encountering oil, it will explode with a bang.
It was a tent, but it was made of some kind of material and could burn.
Suddenly explosions sounded in one tent after another.
The people inside the tent and the people outside the tent knew what was going on before it was too late.
Every tent exploded and burned, then burst into flames.
The people outside the tent were better. They were just frightened. No one thought that the arrival of the fireball would hurt them.
The people inside the tent are not so lucky. When the tent burns, they will be burned by the falling sparks from above.
We all fled out of the burning tent, and our clothes were all on fire.
People put out the fire on their bodies alive.
"Ah ah ah"
"Save people"
"Quickly put out the fire"
"The food inside"
"The grass inside"
The soldiers were panicked from the beginning. They looked blankly at the tents on fire, not knowing why all the tents were on fire at once.
After receiving the order, the soldiers hurriedly found water to put out the fire.
We are short of water here, so we camped close to a small river. It was quite a distance when we ran to the small river to get water.
Except for some item tents that Ye Weida had found, the other tents had more or less items filled with oil. The tents were burning, and the flames that fell quickly ignited the contents of the tents.
Things that burn oil will make an explosion sound.
Those soldiers were still strategizing in a group just now.
The battle strategy has not yet been discussed here, because they are very anxious, and the king has urged them to attack the city quickly.
They sent out so many soldiers, and some died. It has been several days now, and some food and grass will be consumed.
They can't sit still and have nothing to lose. They must quickly conquer the opponent's city and add other resources to the opponent's territory.
Robbing for food, supplies, and meat.
They measured each other and asked the mage to solve the formation quickly.
Unexpectedly, the tent suddenly burned and exploded. Dad and the others did not know that all their belongings were burned.
What should I do?
So much food and grass are now supplies.
These tents have been burned down and all supplies are gone. Are they going to die to apologize?
