Roman Slave Owner

Chapter 390 Food shortage

“Let’s do it, you take the cavalry among us. They are fast, what do you think?”

Wufa said.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Burton exclaimed.

At this time, the cavalry was much more useful than the infantry, so he swarmed north with the cavalry allocated to him.

After Teutun and his entourage left, Wu Fa thought about his family.

In the past few days, they have killed and injured a total of more than 40,000. Burton has taken away more than 30,000 people. Now his men can fight about 330,000, but they have to remove the Anglo and Saxon tribes that have lost their combat effectiveness.

If you continue to attack, you will definitely lose a lot, and you must think of other ways.

Wu Fa kept thinking, and soon came up with an idea.

spent the whole day in peace, in the Roman barracks, Li Wei did not care, he thought about the possible countermeasures of Wufa, and then called the generals to convene a military meeting.

“If nothing happens, the enemy may launch a night attack today. Wufa is not a person who concedes defeat easily.”

Li Wei said.

“Then we will show him a good look, and entertain them tonight.”

Lucias laughed.

“You are right, today all the soldiers are undressed. In addition, a large number of soldiers are sent out for reconnaissance. If you find an enemy, you must report it in time.”

Li Wei said.

“Mianxia is wise.”

“Mianxia is wise.”

“……”

The generals said one after another.

In the middle of the night, a crooked moon hung high in the sky, and the entire military camp seemed to be shrouded in white gauze.

Li Wei personally led people to patrol the night, patrolling the situation of various outposts in order to avoid any situation.

Due to the fear of night attacks by the enemy, there are so many people on duty today.

But nothing happened in the first half of the night, Li Wei didn’t dare to be careless, after 12 o’clock.

There was a sound of arrows outside the city wall, and Li Wei’s face changed slightly, which was a signal sent back by the soldiers he sent outside.

“Blow the bugle.”

Li Wei said to the bugler who was next to him.

The bugler quickly blew the bugle, the melodious bugle resounded throughout the barracks, and then more bugles sounded, and the camp that was still quiet just now looked like boiling water.

A large number of unarmored soldiers rushed up the city wall, and some were standing by below.

In the distance, Wufa stared at the barracks closely. He was very disappointed when he saw the sneak attack soldiers being blocked by the enemy.

But he still ordered the soldiers to attack. He wanted to see if he could get some results at night.

There were explosions in front of the enemy’s barracks, and the German offensives were repeatedly frustrated, which made his face extremely ugly.

After one night, apart from dropping a large number of corpses, he still failed to break through the enemy camp, which made him extremely frustrated.

After a week, Wu Fa exhausted every means to attack the enemy camp, but he was still unable to break through Li Wei’s camp.

On the contrary, the Germans suffered heavy losses, with more than 60,000 casualties, and the entire barracks were full of the wailing of wounded soldiers.

The morale of the army was extremely low.

One morning, while Wufa was frowning, a German tribe general came over.

“Your Majesty, we only have 20 days of food left. Please allow our people to go home.”

Looking at the German general, Wufa said, “I remember your tribe is located in the Black Forest. It doesn’t seem to take so long.”

“When we came there was a big fire in the Black Forest, so we took a long way around. Now we don’t know if those big fires have burned our tribe.”

the German general said sadly.

Wufa’s mouth twitched. Li Wei was really capable of doing evil. He knew that the fire had not been put out yet.

Maybe it really burned to his tribe…

“Well, during this time, your food will be borne by our Speybe tribe.”

Wufa thought for a while and said.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

said the German general happily.

Although I can’t leave here, it’s good to solve the food problem.

After a while, Anglo General Taiti and Saxon General El came over.

After several days of cultivation, El was finally able to get up.

just looks bad, and his face is very pale.

“Your Majesty, I don’t know if I can support us with some food.”

Taiti said.

“Are you out of food?”

Wu Fa frowned and asked.

“Yes, we must keep the food for the return trip. If there is no more food, we must go back.”

El said.

Their tribe gave out people and provided food to fight the law, but the loss was so heavy that the two of them had long wanted to lead their tribe back.

“Well, you go back first, I will reply to you tomorrow.”

Wufa said.

The two took a look, and then said, “So all right.”

Wufa took a deep breath, and then called his cronies to count the food for the coalition forces of all ethnic groups.

The result is not optimistic. If the food needed for the return journey is kept, then on average, the whole army will only have enough food for three days.

Three days!

I was a little scared when I thought of how this number works.

If they do not break through the enemy camp within three days, then they must withdraw.

Just when he was worried about food, the leaders of the Teutonic tribes came together.

There was a smile on Wufa’s face. They came back, so it’s time to repel the enemy’s cavalry.

“Your Majesty, thank you for your cavalry. When we arrived, the enemy’s cavalry had already escaped.”

Burton said gratefully.

“Hahaha, it’s nothing, just come back. By the way, how about your people?”

Wufa said.

“Our loss is great. Many of the Amboang people’s gathering places were burned down, cattle and sheep were killed, and our people were displaced. Not only did they have no food, but also no place to live.”

General Amboon said with a gloomy face, now he can’t wait to kill all the Romans.

“is it.”

Wu Fa suddenly felt a sudden heart, and he felt a bad feeling.

As expected, Burton’s words confirmed his judgment.

“Your Majesty, you know that Rome attacked the Chimburi gathering place half a month ago, and more than 300,000 Chimburi people moved north in a group. In addition, the Amboong people are now being attacked again. The annual loss was heavy. Can you support us with a little food, or we will starve to death many people.”

Burton said.

Wufa’s eyebrows jumped, how come he came to ask for food again.

“How much food do you want?”

Wufa asked.

“Our three tribes are now more than 800,000 people. It would be best to give us food for half a month. You know that the winter here is very cold. Without houses and enough dry wood, people can definitely freeze to death. We must pump out a large amount of food. People will build houses by hand, otherwise many people will die in winter.”

Burton said.

Wufa was so angry that he couldn’t speak. You want 800,000 people for half a month’s food. You might as well kill me.

“I don’t have so much food, you know that there is a great shortage of food in the camp now.”

Wufa said.

“So how much food can we borrow?”

General Chinbury said eagerly.

Looking at the longing eyes of the three, what can Wufa say?

“Well, how about you take all your soldiers back, let them hunt, and build houses for you?”

Wufa tried his best to say cheerfully.

“Even so, there is still a big gap in our food. Is it really impossible to borrow a little first?”

General Amboang said anxiously.

Many of his people have become refugees. If relief is not provided, many people will die.

“It must be borrowed, but I can’t borrow it now. As you know, there is no food in the barracks. Well, the Khadi people and our tribe have collected some food and are transporting it here. How about giving it all to you when it arrives? ”

Wufa said.

“How much food is there?”

Burton asked eagerly.

“This…I guess it will be enough for your whole family to eat for a few days. You know that the Khadi people were also attacked by the Romans, and they were also relocating, and there was not much food at all. We also brought a hundred thousand troops to the expedition, and the food was all for the troops. Let’s eat it.”

Wufa said.

Hearing this, Burton and they were very dissatisfied.

They were born and died for Wufa, and they sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people before and after under the bewitching of Wufa, but now they can’t even borrow some grain.

Wufa sighed, “I also know your difficulties, so let’s take your soldiers away first. I will send you the food later.”

“Well then, let’s go first.”

Burton said, and then the three of them left here with ugly faces.

Wufa’s expression immediately turned gloomy, and his three tribes might be separated from him.

With such a shortage of food and unable to attack the enemy’s camp, Wu Fa finally made his mind.

But he was unwilling to withdraw like this, and soon he came up with a way, so he summoned all the generals, even Burton and others who were about to withdraw, were also summoned by him.

“Everyone, everyone knows the current situation. We don’t have enough food, so I’m afraid we have to withdraw our troops.”

Wufa said.

Hearing this, there was a hint of joy on the faces of the German generals, which made Wufa’s face sink.

It seems that they have long lost their fighting spirit and have always wanted to withdraw their troops.

“But if we withdraw like this, I am afraid we will be chased by the Romans and destroyed one by one.”

Wufa said, “So I decided to make a move. We pretended to withdraw and lure the Romans out of the camp to pursue it.”

The generals couldn’t help but look at each other, but they didn’t expect that they wouldn’t give up even now.

“What if the Romans are not fooled?”

El asked.

“Then we will really withdraw.”

Wufa said.

The generals discussed for a while. Although many people were unwilling, they finally agreed.

Then Wufa started the arrangement and ordered everyone to start withdrawing as planned.

Li Wei soon learned the news of the Germanic withdrawal, which made him overjoyed. He didn’t expect them to be able to hold it so soon.

“Mianxia, ​​what should we do next? Should we go north or south.”

Lucias asked.

Going north is to attack the Teutonic tribe, and going south is to chase Wufa.

“Go south, capture the thief first, capture the king, I want to solve the problem in one fell swoop.”

Li Wei said.

Although the Teutonic tribes are currently facing difficulties both internally and externally, now is a good opportunity to subdue them.

But Li Wei knows that Wufa is the core of the Germans. As long as he is solved, the Germans will be a mess of sand, and they will fight as they want.

“Send my order to send more cavalry to scout the enemy. After confirming that the enemy has really withdrawn, we will start chasing.”

Li Wei said.

There are countless tricks in the history of ancient Chinese wars, and he thinks he still needs to be careful to avoid overturning the ship in the gutter.

“You are wise under the crown.”

Lucias said.

So a large number of cavalry were sent out for reconnaissance, and the results of the reconnaissance seemed to indicate that the enemy had really retreated.

But Li Wei always felt that something was wrong. If he changed to his own law, doing so would mean admitting failure.

Once he led his troops south, Wufa would be dead.

He thought for a while, and called Belieus.

“You understand the situation now, but I suspect this is a trap. I order you to lead all the cavalry south. Your task is to harass the Anglo and Saxon coalition forces and try to hold them back. If possible, eat them. Part of the army.”

Li Wei said, “But remember, once you find yourself in danger, you must retreat immediately.”

The cavalry under his hand is stronger than the cavalry of the entire Germanic army combined, and the cavalry is mobile and flexible, and you can run if you can’t beat them. Don’t worry about them.

“Why don’t you hold down Speyby’s army?”

Belieus asked.

“This is our temptation. I am worried that if you really attack Speyby’s army, you may not be able to return.”

Li Wei said.

“So good.”

After 　　 took the order, Belieus left here with all the cavalry.

These days, the cavalry can be suffocated. Although they can fight on the wall, they are the soldiers on the horse after all.

More than 30,000 cavalrymen were like a huge torrent, chasing the Anglo and Saxon army that was retreating south.

They quickly fought fiercely with the cavalry of the two races. Relying on their huge numbers, they quickly defeated the cavalry of the two races.

and firmly bit the infantry of the two tribes coalition army from time to time to launch surprise attacks on them.

At this time, Taiti and El felt extremely depressed. Why did so many retreating troops look at them?

This is unscientific, whether it is going north to attack the Teutonic tribe or going south to attack Speyby’s army is much better than attacking them.

Although they were extremely puzzled, they were very struggling to face more than 30,000 cavalry.

You must know that they suffered heavy losses this time, with more than 20,000 casualties and only 30,000 people left who can really fight.

Those cavalry surrounded them, and they didn’t even dare to escape, so once they escaped, they would face the frenzied chase of the enemy cavalry.

But fortunately, they know that Wu Fa will bring people to help at any time, so they are not worried.

“Did Li Wei just dispatch the cavalry?”

Wufa said disappointedly.

“Yes, we still have no trace of Roman infantry going south.”

said a German cavalry.

Wufa was silent for a while, and then said: “Let our cavalry dispatch, go to encircle and suppress the enemy cavalry, and then the whole army retreat.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

At this time, Belieus and his cavalry began to attack the Anglo and Saxon coalition forces. A large number of Armenian cavalry ran across the enemy’s wings and shot arrows into the two races’ formation.
