In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.

Chapter 164 Food Robbery

Following Qin Ming's order, the army moved slowly again, the light of the torches flickering in the darkness, illuminating the road ahead. However, they did not know that on the mountains on both sides of the canyon, Du Chong and Tie Feng were leading two thousand troops, quietly waiting for their arrival.

Du Chong and Tie Feng looked at each other, and saw tension and expectation in each other's eyes. They knew that waiting at this moment was a test of courage and wisdom. As long as they could successfully launch a surprise attack, the victory of this battle would belong to them.

As the team got closer, Du Chong could clearly hear the voices of the soldiers talking and the sound of wheels rolling. He took a deep breath, tightly grasped the long sword in his hand, and was ready to issue the order to charge at any time.

Just when the government army was about to enter the canyon completely, Du Chong suddenly raised the sword in his hand and shouted: "Charge! Kill!" As he shouted, two thousand soldiers and horses rushed down the mountain like a tiger descending from the mountain, and attacked the government army directly.

All the stones that had been prepared long ago were pushed down by them. The entire army was cut in two!

The civilians responsible for escorting food and fodder, as well as a small number of soldiers and Qin Ming and his men were separated by several huge rocks.

The government troops were caught off guard by the sudden attack and immediately fell into chaos. Although Qin Ming reacted quickly and wanted to organize his soldiers to resist, under the fierce top-down attack of Du Chong and Tie Feng, the government troops soon fell into a bitter battle.

The battle was extremely fierce, with fire, swords, and shouts interweaving together to form a thrilling scene. However, under the heroic command of Du Chong and Tie Feng, their team gradually gained the upper hand, and the government soldiers began to retreat step by step.

Qin Ming saw that the retreat route behind him was blocked and the troops in front of him were completely dispersed! In the end, he could only lead the 100 or so people who followed him and gallop forward at full speed. After all, there were still thousands of troops in front of him!

Qin Ming regretted it very much at this time. He was too arrogant. He thought that the troops he trained were all elite. He did not expect such an encounter. His army quickly collapsed.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Du Chong and Tie Feng successfully defeated the government troops and seized the food they were escorting. The victory of this battle not only allowed them to obtain valuable supplies, but also won them honor and respect.

In the night, Du Chong and Tie Feng stood on the top of the mountain, looking into the distance, their faces full of exhaustion and satisfaction.

"It's a pity that the enemy's commander escaped!" Du Chong said with some regret. At this time, Qin Ming and more than 100 people had arrived at the location where Zhou Kai's troops were stationed.

"It's nothing to regret. They have more and more people but less and less food! As long as we can ensure that they don't use any food in the future and the county wall can protect them, we will be invincible!" Tie Feng said with a smile. He looked at the food! This food is enough for them to eat for a long time. Even some residents in the city can take out a part of it to let them barely maintain. After all, they don't want to see that the areas they occupy are empty cities.

"Brother Tiefeng, you are right." Du Chong took a deep breath of the cold air, his voice firm, "Our goal is not only to defeat this team, but also to completely destroy their supply lines and make it impossible for them to gain a foothold in this land."

Tie Feng nodded, his eyes as deep as the stars in the night sky: "This battle is just the beginning, we still have a more difficult road to go. But as long as we work together to assist the young commander, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

The two smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with expectation and confidence for the future. They knew that the victory of this battle was just the tip of the iceberg of their great cause, and there were more challenges waiting for them ahead. With the repeated failures of the government troops, they would definitely report the situation here to the court. At that time, they would not face these government troops that had long lost their combat effectiveness. It is very likely that the elite troops with high precision would come.

While the grain was being transported happily, Tie Feng kept urging everyone to speed up because he didn't know if the government troops would take the opportunity to counterattack. They left 500 soldiers to defend the entrance of the valley. The others joined in the transportation of grain. The rocks blocking the mountain pass were quickly pushed away. It was not difficult to transport the grain using the horse-drawn carriages.

When Qin Ming and the rest of his men arrived at the entrance of the camp, they were intercepted.

"I'm Qin Ming. I have urgent military information to see General Zhou!" Qin Ming couldn't help but get very anxious when he saw the soldiers stopping him.

Qin Ming was still very famous in the government army. After all, he was the only one who did not eat empty salary. But the training of his soldiers was also very hard.

So the soldiers at the camp gate also recognized him at this time.

"General Qin! But the food is still coming!" These soldiers had been looking forward to the food being escorted from the city. Although they had robbed some food, Zhou Kai and his men were afraid of accidents, so they only let these soldiers eat two meals a day. And one of the meals was just porridge. How could these soldiers bear this? As the saying goes, the emperor doesn't lack hungry soldiers. It was already very rare for these soldiers to hold on to this camp. Not to mention asking them to attack the city.

"I have very important military intelligence to report to General Zhou!" Qin Ming was very anxious now, so without much explanation, he rushed into the camp on horseback.

His action actually attracted the attention of many soldiers. At this time, the experienced soldiers noticed that many of those following Qingming were covered in sand and some had lost their weapons.

"I'm afraid the food is gone again!" said an old soldier with a sigh.

"How is it possible! Aren't Qin Ming's men elite? He personally escorted the food here, how could it be possible that he failed?" another soldier asked anxiously. If the food didn't come, they would not have the strength to pick up their weapons.

"Look at General Qin and the soldiers behind him. Their clothes are either scratched or covered in dirt. Some of them even have no weapons. It's obvious that they must have been ambushed. It seems that the food can't be transported here!" This older soldier was indeed very experienced. He quickly discovered these problems.

"That's true!"

"I saw it too. It seems that General Qin himself was injured!"

More and more people reacted at this time. You know, if the food can't be transported, it's related to their own business. How can they fight without food? They have had enough of these days of hunger.

Moreover, the enemy could easily defeat the elite troops trained by Qin Ming. It would be even more difficult for them to win against the enemy.

These government soldiers know their own business. Normally, they don't have much training. They just want to earn a salary to support their families.
