Zhan Chengyin said: "Bury it secretly at night."
Chen Wu clapped his hands and laughed: "Good, this method is wonderful, thousands of people will be killed in an instant, I love to see it."
At this time, a soldier came on horseback to deliver a letter.
"General, there is a letter from Dayongguo."
Chen Wu took the letter from the soldier and whispered: "We are not on good terms with Dayongguo, but we are not at odds with each other. What is the letter about?"
He presented both hands to Zhan Chengyin.
Zhan Chengyin unfolded the letter, his sword eyebrows slightly frowned, his face was not good...
Seeing this, Chen Wu asked: "General, what's wrong?"
Zhan Chengyin handed him the letter, "General Yue Hong from the border of Yongguo wrote to me and tried to win me over!"
Chen Wu finished reading the letter. Yue Hong said in the letter that Zhan Chengyin was not valued by the emperor in Qiguo, and the emperor of Qiguo wanted to seize his military power.
The eldest brother in the Kyoto family has been imprisoned by the emperor.
The 200,000 soldiers of the Zhan family army suffered countless casualties, and only 20,000 were left. 20,000 were not enough to resist the barbarians' siege.
It would be better for the Zhan family army to take troops and surrender to Dayong Kingdom. The emperor of Dayong Kingdom cherishes talents and will definitely use the Zhan family army.
At the end of the letter, it was asked whether there was food and water in the city. As long as the general gave an order, the 300,000 soldiers under Yue Hong would cooperate with the Zhan family army to kill the barbarians.
Drive the barbarian army back to the Mobei grassland.
After reading the letter, Chen Wu cursed angrily.
"Damn it, I was wondering why Yue Hong would write to me. The general has no connection with him. It turns out that he found out that we have water and food in the city, so he targeted us."
"If the town pass is broken and the Great Qi Kingdom is destroyed, the next one will be the Great Yong Kingdom. He is just watching from the sidelines, but he is so shameless that he takes advantage of our lack of people to win over!"
"General, this guy has bad intentions. We can't be fooled!"
In terms of national strength, the first is the Great Chu, the second is the Yong Kingdom, and the third is the Great Qi...
The Chu and Yong Kingdoms are sworn enemies, and the two countries are constantly at war, otherwise they would have annexed the other four countries long ago.
Zhan Chengyin was worried. Even the Yong Kingdom knew that he had food and water, so I'm afraid that the Chu Kingdom also knew it.
It's just that a few mice ran out, and the news was known to the barbarians.
Why did the Great Yong write a letter? The news spread too fast.
Zhan Chengyin said, "Write a letter back to Yue Hong."
Chen Wu didn't understand and thought he really wanted to surrender to the Yong Kingdom.
He said anxiously: "General, you can't be confused about this matter. Although the young emperor is suspicious of you, the late emperor has entrusted the Zhan family army with important tasks and trusts him very much!"
"No, at worst, we will help you kill Prime Minister Su when we return to the court."
Zhan Chengyin shook his head: "My father's generation has served the Qi Kingdom and will not surrender to the Yong Kingdom. You write a letter to Yue Hong and send it."
"Let him bring people to surrender. Each soldier will receive ten kilograms of rice, five kilograms of flour, a barrel of oil, and a bag of white salt every month..."
"I will recruit as many soldiers as he does."
Chen Wu clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, this is a good idea. We can help people."
Then he said worriedly: "The matter of our food has been completely exposed."
Zhan Chengyin said: "The news can no longer be concealed. For the sake of food, do you think the Chu and Yong countries will send troops to drive away the barbarians?"
"Yes, there is a severe drought in the world, and food is more precious than human life."
"They will drive away the food, and then fight another battle. The winner will attack the city and seize our food!"
"Well, before the second batch of weapons from the gods arrive, disturb the water in the pond outside the city. Once the weapons arrive, no matter whether Chu or Yong wins, they will not be a match for the Zhan family army."
Chen Wu laughed and said, "great General, your brain is good at fighting."
"Go find someone to watch and learn how to bury explosives. Not only the east gate of the city, but also the west gate."
"Yes, do it right away."
*
Back to the city gate again, the barbarian army is still stationed ten miles away, and everything is calm.
Zhan Chengyin has a hunch that they will attack the city again within three days.
This siege was even more intense than the previous ones.
At this time, Zhan Chengyin saw the white paper floating on the vase:
"Prepare a large warehouse to store watermelons."
"There should be ten carts of watermelons, 300,000 kilograms."
"And some other vegetables, fruits..."
Zhan Chengyin smiled helplessly. "God, we haven't finished eating the watermelons we sent last time."
"They are grown by farmers nearby. I buy them at a high price, so they all beg me to buy them."
"Fruits can supplement vitamins and contain sugar, which is good for the health of soldiers and civilians. You can have someone dig a pit to put them in first."
"Okay, I'll have someone do it right away."Then Zhan Chengyin said, "Mrs. Chen likes the gift you sent very much. Yin will hand over the matter of making military uniforms to Mrs. Chen."
"Arrange the military affairs yourself. By the way, have the barbarians withdrawn?"
"No, they are still stationed ten miles away and may attack at any time!"
Ye Mumu: What? they are stationed ten miles away. Now the Zhan family army is not strong enough to fight.
Even if all the explosives are given to them, they can't blow up 300,000 people.
Ye Mumu supplies water and food in various ways, but she must not let Zhan Chengyin die at this critical juncture.
Everything we did before was not in vain.
She was even more anxious than Zhan Chengyin.
"First, take a photo of the sand table and send it to me, as well as the surrounding environment and the barbarian garrisons..."
"It would be best to review the previous sieges, and I'll ask the omnipotent netizens to come up with ideas on how the Zhan family army survived in desperate situations."
Zhan Chengyin followed his instructions and took photos of the sand table, the map, and the environment around the city gate, and sent them to Ye Mumu on a tablet.
Ye Mumu saw the photos, and saw yellow sand everywhere, and the wind blew the yellow sand all over the sky.
The surroundings were bare, and even the dry grass and trees were gone.
During the famine, the food was probably eaten up.
Most of the soldiers guarding the city gates were not wearing shoes because their shoes were broken and they had no new shoes to buy, so they had to go barefoot.
All the clothes under the soldiers' armor were torn into strips and dragged on the ground.
The environment was too harsh.
The soldiers were dressed too poorly.
Even the spears in their hands were mostly rusty.
With such harsh conditions, how could they win against the barbarians when their weapons were not sharp?
Her eyes were red when she saw it.
It was too bitter and too difficult!
She said, "Tell all the soldiers that as long as they win against the barbarians, I will give each of them a pair of cloth shoes."
"If you win beautifully, I will give you sneakers!"
Zhan Chengyin saw the note and suddenly looked at the soldiers guarding the city. Many of them did not wear shoes.
Zhan Chengyin's own shoes had long been broken, but there was no needle and thread to mend them.
Even the general was like this, let alone the soldiers.
He said: "Thank God, I will talk to the soldiers."
"Look, what's missing? How can we repel the enemy like this? The hardware conditions are really too poor."
Zhan Chengyin said: "If possible, God, please urge when the weapons will arrive."
"Qinnu is very useful in fighting against the barbarians, and there is no need for people to ignite the buried explosives. Use Qinnu to light them and shoot them out to ignite them."
Ye Mumu suddenly realized, "Yes, how could I forget this, you buried all the explosives, if it doesn't work, I will send you more fireworks."
