Chapter 1394 The Maid's Great Turn 34

Lu Ming and Su Chengye were responsible for delivering the food and fodder, and they did deliver it.

I thought that with their escort this time, there would be no problems with this batch of food and fodder. They brought 500 people with them.

However, they still underestimated the strength of the bandits.

On the third day of escorting food and fodder, they were still more than 400 kilometers away from the border.

The group was very large, but even with so many of them, the bandits still dared to rob them.

When they started fighting, they were surprised to find that these bandits were very skilled and did not look like ordinary bandits at all.

Lu Ming and Su Chengye exchanged glances. They were sure that these bandits were well-trained soldiers.

Su Chengye thought more. He not only suspected that this was a well-trained army disguised as bandits, he even suspected that they were soldiers from Jiang and Cang countries.

The other side appeared suddenly and were so brave and good at fighting that Lu Ming and others felt exhausted.

The two sides were fighting each other, and the people who were originally escorting the food and grass were so scared that they hid aside, like useless people.

It can't be described as perfunctory for these cowardly people with no skills to escort the food and grass. They are clearly a group of rabble who are just waiting for someone to come out and steal the food and grass.

Lu Ming gritted his teeth in hatred. If they hadn't come, no one else would have to do anything to get this batch of food and fodder. He was afraid that if he just scared them, these people would obediently hand over the food and fodder.

Seeing that they could not take the food and fodder away, the other side set fire to it. In their efforts to rescue the food and fodder, many Jin soldiers were injured by the other side.

Lu Ming watched the food and grass being burned. They had no time to rescue them. If they tried to rescue them, the other party would take the opportunity to kill them. If they didn't rescue them, the food and grass would be burned to ashes.

Just as they were in despair, a loud thunderclap sounded, scaring everyone into shrinking.

It’s not going to rain, is it?

Whether it is raining or fire, it is not what Lu Ming and others want to see.

As a result, they looked up and saw no signs of rain, and the thunder sounded particularly abrupt.

Another loud thunder sounded and everyone was startled.

"Ah!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman riding a black horse, as if she had suddenly appeared here.

I didn't even hear the sound of horse hooves, how did she get here?

The bandits all looked confused, but on Lu Ming's side, everyone had a look of joy on their face, thinking that reinforcements had arrived.

Especially Su Chengye couldn't help but run towards Su Yan with joy.

The bandit leader took in everyone's expressions and thought with disdain, it's just a woman who came, what's there to be happy about? Can she alone change the outcome?

"Kill, kill them all for me."

Following an order, the bandits, who had been a little confused just now, began to set fires everywhere and kill the people who were escorting food and grass.

Before Su Chengye could run to Su Yan, he was forced to continue fighting.

Su Yan drew out a soft sword, turned over and jumped off the horse, and then locked his target on those who set the fire.

She was moving very fast. Wherever she went, one could only hear people screaming. Before one could see clearly what was happening, Su Yan had already reached the next person, and the same screams rang out one after another.

Those who set the fire didn't even see who it was before their hands were chopped off.

999: "Why don't you cut their tendons this time?"

Su Yan: "From the moment you told me that they were all from Jin, they were no longer worthy of being human. What's the point of holding back? You will only harm your compatriots."

999: "I also didn't expect the emperor to be so cruel. In order to suppress Prince Chen, he would rather let hundreds of thousands of people be buried with him."

Su Yan: "No, the Su family army is short of food and grass, but the later eastern and western armies may not be short of food and grass. Didn't you see that those two generals are not in a hurry at all?"

If Su Yan guessed correctly, the emperor did not really refuse to provide food and grass, but wanted to delay time, just like delaying reinforcements.

What he wanted to consume was always the power of Prince Chen. During this period, even if the enemy attacked, it would only be the Su family army that would stand in their way.

By the time the Su family army has been almost exhausted, the food and fodder should have arrived.

Even if Prince Chen is not dead, his Su family army has been almost exhausted, and its strength has been greatly reduced, so it is no longer a threat.

As for the Kingdom of Jiang and the Kingdom of Cang, the worst outcome would be the cession of a few cities, which would not cause any pain to the emperor.

999: "No way, is there really such an emperor who holds himself back?"

Su Yan: "Sometimes, people can lose their humanity for the sake of power. At that time, he will say that war inevitably involves sacrifices, and a general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers, and he will put the blame on others. By shedding a few crocodile tears, he can still live a life of luxury and power, and no one can threaten him anymore."

999: "Is power so important?"

Su Yan did not answer it. In fact, it should have understood that after so many lifetimes and having seen so many people and things, it should have realized one thing long ago: the thing that should never be gambled with is human nature.

Su Yan walked around every grain and forage workshop, and cut off the right hands of those who tried to set fire.

The other bandits, seeing that Su Yan was like a killing god, took control of the situation.

"Kill that woman, quickly!"

At this time, they also realized that if they didn't kill the woman earlier, they might not be able to complete their mission of destroying the food supplies.

However, looking at the fake bandits who were swarming in, Su Yan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

Before anyone could even see the afterimage of the sword in his hand, they felt a pain in their arms. Just like the people before them, their arms were also chopped off.

In an instant, a wailing sound was heard here.

For the first time, Lu Ming intuitively felt how powerful Su Yan was, and he was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide for a long time.

Su Chengye finally understood what the prince said. On the battlefield, she was more feared than him.

Su Yan had the invincible BUFF blessing of "one man blocking the pass from ten thousand", these people were just small shrimps to her, and it was effortless to deal with them.

Su Yan's ferocious appearance of chopping arms and cabbages scared the people behind him so much that they dared not to come forward.

The closer Su Yan got, the faster they retreated, and finally they just ran away.

Why burn the food and grass? Saving your life is the most important thing.
