There was no dearth of food in the several territories claimed by Lord Yamada as we had determined, in supplying the holding by air. - (Rebels of Gor, Chapter 10, Sentence #37)

He had, in effect, his armies in the field, and largely concentrated in the area of the holding. There was no way that limited area could indefinitely sustain large numbers of men. Forces of that size, in such a location, must be supplied from without. There was no dearth of food in the several territories claimed by Lord Yamada as we had determined, in supplying the holding by air. On the other hand, these supplies, if unable to reach his men in sufficient quantities in a timely manner, might as well, from the point of the besiegers, anchored in place, not exist. Several days ago we had begun to disrupt the supply lines of the enemy, striking at supply trains, frightening away draymen, dealing with guards, overturning and burning wagons, seizing stores, and discarding what we could not carry. Our work was often marked by hundreds of birds alighting on the spilled stores, who would soon compete with returning draymen, who would gather what rice they could and carry it away to their villages, where it might be concealed from the tax collectors of Lord Yamada. - (Rebels of Gor)
