Chapter 18 - Hot Weapons Versus Cold Weapons

The advertising company made the banner very quickly, and it was delivered in an hour. They also helped to hang it in the warehouse.

She called Uncle Yang and said that she would check the warehouse in the afternoon.

Uncle Yang happily agreed.

This warehouse check job is a part-time job. Since her father died, the warehouse has been empty.

Uncle Yang sometimes does not have to work for two or three months, and his salary is still paid.

He was happy that he did not have to come this afternoon.

Ye Mumu found a used car dealer, bought an old truck, and drove it to the warehouse.

The truck that originally cost hundreds of thousands now only costs more than 100,000. After Ye Mumu paid, she said that she was not in a hurry to transfer the ownership because she did not have a truck driver's license.

The dealer was dumbfounded.

He could only give her the car keys and urge her to transfer the ownership as soon as possible.

Ye Mumu covered the carriage with a tarpaulin, covered the license plate, and hung a banner.

It was done.

Zhan Chengyin asked people to count and store more than 2,000 bags of rice and flour.

The soldiers saw such a large wall of food...

The food sent by the gods yesterday can only last for two days at most.

Although the announcement was issued today that the staple food is steamed rice, they dared to cook one meal and one meal of porridge, for fear that the gods would not give them food and they would starve again. Now , everyone's hanging hearts fell.

God is trustworthy.

Sure enough, he will give it!

Zhan Chengyin put his hand on the bag of food, looking at the bags of snow-white food, he said: "According to the requirements of the gods, how long can this batch of food last."

Li Yuanzhong bowed and said: "200,000 catties of rice, 25,000 catties of flour..."

"According to the current supply to the soldiers, each person is allocated half a catty of rice every day, which can last for 21 days."

"Only 20 days?"

"Yes, General, if you have one meal of steamed rice and one meal of white porridge every day, you can last for a month!"

Not enough, not enough.

According to the time from sowing crops to harvesting them, it takes half a year for the crops to cycle through and achieve self-sufficiency.

Moreover, they were trapped in the city, and there was not enough land in the city to grow food.

It could not feed 100,000 people.

They needed a huge food supply.

At this time, a piece of white paper floated down.

"Three days later, I will send 200 tons of rice, about 2 million catties, 100 tons of flour, mineral water, ham sausage, instant noodles, self-heating hot pot... You clear out a huge warehouse for storage."

"It would be best if it is ten times the current rice warehouse."

Chen Wu picked up the paper and handed it to the general with both hands.

Zhan Chengyin saw what was written on the note, 2 million catties of rice, 1 million catties of flour, and countless supplies...

Once these foods are in place...

the soldiers don't have to worry about food for half a year.

The other soldiers gathered to see.

"General, the gods said that they would give so many supplies, right? Really?"

"Everyone really won't be hungry!"

"But if the people are included, it can only last for three months, and the people have to drink porridge to survive!"

Zhan Chengyin's hand holding the white paper trembled slightly.

His eyes were wet, three million catties of food.

Before the barbarians attacked the city, the supplies in the warehouse of the Zhan family army had never been so much.

The court distributed military rations one at a time.

The military rations distributed were all old corn mixed with stones, bran, and gray flour.

This is white rice and rice flour.

It was just a batch of supplies, and she would ship a steady stream of supplies in the future.

Great. It was simply great!

With this rice, he could recruit soldiers from the people.

If the news spread back to the Central Plains, the people would voluntarily come to the border to join the army.

Zhan Chengyin gave the order, "Recruit soldiers from the people, and anyone who joins the army will get five kilograms of rice, two kilograms of flour, and two kilograms of vegetables per month..."

"Go and announce it immediately!"

The soldiers took the order: "Yes, General!"

Construction of the city wall and recruitment of weapons are carried out simultaneously, and a large number of people are required to look after the military grain warehouse!" "

Yes, I will obey your order!" The work was assigned and everyone was busy. Chen Kui and Chen Wu went to recruit soldiers. Song Duo went to refine weapons. The rest went to build the city wall. Mao Yangbo increased the number of people to patrol, and anyone who approached the city wall was arrested directly. The news in the city must not be known by the barbarians. As it got dark, the general saw several dishes and boxes of rice on the table and couldn't help laughing. The gods came to feed him again. Yesterday it was braised fish, today it was steamed spareribs, dry pot beef, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and tomato egg drop soup. She really spared no effort to feed him. Picking up the chopsticks, she invited Xu Ming and Tian Qin to eat together. The two waved their hands: "General, we ate in the army." "Today is steamed rice, a dish of fried pork, fried cabbage, and winter melon soup... It's really delicious." "Yes, so steamed rice tastes like this, very fragrant, not stuck in the throat at all, no astringency, delicate rice taste, and sweet when chewed." Seeing that the two were still savoring, Zhan Chengyin said nothing more. He opened the lunch box and only ordered steamed pork ribs and a box of rice. The rest was given to Tian Qin, who asked him to take it back to Uncle Li. Tian Qin accepted it. After finishing the meal, Zhan Chengyin looked at the sand table. The barbarians gathered more than 30 miles away, and all the main forces gathered in the middle of the city gate. There are 100,000 barbarian soldiers behind to intercept the connection between the Zhan family army and the Great Qi Kingdom. If the barbarians throw all their forces at the main gate, how long can they resist? I'm afraid they can only break the city in one day. Now that everyone can eat, the barbarian Mobei King is afraid that he has received the news. Maybe they will gather to attack the city tomorrow... It's too late to raise the city walls and build weapons.

Thinking of this, Zhan Chengyin stood up, put one hand behind his back, and paced back and forth.

At this time, a piece of white paper fell.

"Classmate Zhan Chengyin, are you resting?"

Does classmate mean classmate?

It's interesting that the gods call him classmate...

"Not yet, has the gods rested?"

"No, there are too many items transmitted today, and I am exhausted. I went home and had dinner, but I couldn't sleep. Let's chat!"

"Okay, what does the gods want to talk about?"

Ye Mumu saw the white paper coming from the opposite side, and each piece was written under her paper without using new paper.

This young general is very frugal.

" you don't have any idea to break through the siege. If you can't break through, you will die in Zhenguan..."

At the age of 21, he is still a general who became famous at the same age as Huo Qubing. It's a pity to die.

If nothing happens, there will be a heavy stroke in history.

Perhaps, future generations will praise him. You have to break through!

She really doesn't want him to die at a young age.

It took a long time for the other side to reply.

He said: "There is food in the city, it will be revealed sooner or later, Yin is still trying to find a way to break through."

"Today, we will start recruiting civilians in the city. There are 80,000 people in the city, and at most we can recruit 20,000 new soldiers."

But the barbarian army has 300,000, plus the 20,000 just recruited, it is only 40,000.

This number is far from enough!

What to do?

We must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible.

Ye Mumu immediately thought of the antique shop owner she met last time.

"Don't worry, I will help you find a way. Since you have recruited new soldiers, you have weapons!"

"For example, swords, shields, armor, spears... bows and arrows?"

"It would be great if you had guns. Hot weapons versus cold weapons, it would be a total massacre!"
