Chapter 890: Day 3

Chapter 890: Day 3He was sure that he woke up not long after dawn and it was still late for them? It seemed that the other generals were making thorough preparation to make sure that they had the necessary supplies.

The rules for battle were not only they needed tactics and soldiers to win. They also needed the necessary resources and supplies to maintain the condition of their soldiers to win the battle.

Without those things, there was no way they could win the battle.

After all, soldiers were also human being who needed food and water. They were not immortal who didn't need anything to be able to stay alive. This was also the reason why many tactics often revolved in the matter of resources.

For those who were weaker, they would instead target their opponent's food and water source. This would allow them to be the one to survive in the long run because their opponent wouldn't be able to fight in their best condition.

Various way to transport food were developed.

Anyway, it was another point in the warfare's system that was also developing quite well but Nan Hua had no intention of going through the list of these things. In this era, the methods were still simple.

And there were not many other alternatives that they could use.

Their food preserving methods were not that good yet and there were only some methods that had been developed.

If a foodie were to come here, they would definitely suffer greatly.

The foods were mostly plain.

And the variety was not that much because of the limitation here.

"We're going to depart right after they had brought some water, but it's not actually an urgent matter." Feng Ao Kuai pointed at the other soldiers who had started to clean up their tent and everything.

After the long battle at night, it was time for them to depart.

They thought that they could rely on the river or well in this areas, but Wei Da Kingdom was already prepared for this and prevented them from being able to do this.

"Probably around 1000 to 3000 thousands. The soldiers didn't manage to see them clearly." General Cao was holding the report given to him by the soldiers who returned. All of them gave different answer as they were not entirely sure how many people were guarding the rivers.

Guarding the rivers.

Old Master Nan rubbed his forehead. This was not the first time Wei Da Kingdom employed this tactics. But if they really had that many soldiers guarding each spot by the river, it meant that they would have to deploy the soldiers from somewhere.

He looked at the west.

There were several other cities along the border with Fei Yang Kingdom and also Shi Long Kingdom. If the soldiers were taken from those cities, it meant that many of those cities were lacking in soldiers.

But that was only if the number reported by these soldiers were true.

"Shall we sent soldiers there?" General Chi asked. He was irked because he had lost hundreds of soldiers because they were ambushed just because they wanted to take water from there.

General Long tapped the table in front of him. For their small meeting, they had a table prepared. "No, we're advancing."

"But the lack of water..."

"We'll send some small army in the evening to fetch more water for our needs." General Long glanced at the others. "The commanders will be enough to deal with them if they're only around 1000 to 3000 soldiers guarding the banks. We don't have pressing needs for water right now, so this should be enough."

General Chi and General Cao could only agree.

On the other hand, Old Master Nan caressed his beard. He had the feeling that this would be good enough for his grandchildren to prove their training and also their growth. Feng Ao Si would be able to lead a team on his own while Nan Luo and Feng Ao Kuai led a team together.

The number of soldiers should be enough for them to deal with Wei Da Kingdom's soldiers at the riverbanks.

Besides, they were already trained well to face against enemies who had more soldiers than them.
