Chapter 501
The grain and grass were burned, and the imperial court had not delivered new grain and grass to the barracks for a long time. All the generals were anxious, not only to appease the panic of the soldiers, but also to discuss a war strategy in this situation where they could not advance or retreat. Waiting for hundreds of thousands of troops I can only starve to death here.

"We must go to war. We still have a way to survive after robbing the food and grass of the Yan Kingdom. If we drag it on without the enemy coming to kill us, we will starve to death!" A lieutenant general shouted loudly, and he could tell from the sound that he had been holding back for a long time. The fury of time.

"It's easy to say. To go to war, you have to feed your soldiers. Now that you can see the porridge at the bottom of the bowl twice a day, who has the strength to fight the enemy? What is the difference between going to war and dying? The commander has already sent an emergency to the court." Report, the imperial court will not care about our life or death, if we wait a little longer, we will definitely get food and grass." Some people objected.

I don't know how many times I have discussed this matter, but at this moment, everyone is boiling again, divided into two camps and quarreling endlessly, but Hong Jinliang, who is the coach, does not say a word, and his brows are tightly furrowed.

However, this time it failed to make everyone quarrel happily, and the sound of war drums silenced everyone instantly.

"Didn't I hear it wrong? Is it the sound of war drums?" A vanguard officer stood up, went outside the big tent, grabbed a soldier and asked.

"General, the army of Yan State is beating the drums and is about to rush over." The orderly rushed into the big tent to report in a panic, knocking the vanguard officer staggering.

"How many soldiers did Yan Guo send to be the vanguard?" Hong Jinliang said calmly.

"Visual estimates are as many as one hundred thousand." The orderly replied immediately.

"What? There are more than [-] vanguard troops. Does Yan Guo want to win or lose in a battle? You son of a bitch, bullying us because we can't eat enough and have no energy?" The general of the main combat faction stood up and pleaded: " Commander-in-Chief, please order the troops to kill that son of a bitch in Yan Kingdom."

"Is Lieutenant General Li joking? The whole army has not had a full stomach for many days, and now they can beat the army of Yan State on the battlefield?" Someone immediately objected.

Everyone turned their gazes to Hong Jinliang in unison. Whether to fight or hide now can only be determined by the coach.

"Send the order, close the city gates, and those who leave the city without authorization will be dealt with by military law for treason." After thinking for a while, Hong Jinliang ordered in a cold voice, looking at the orderer: "Investigate again."

Hong Jinliang is Wan Yanlin's confidant, and no one dares to disobey his orders, but many generals expressed dissatisfaction by hiding and being a turtle. How to fight the battle.

The siege side always suffers more losses, and they are also happy to see the Yan State lose its generals.

500 meters outside the city gate, the army of Yan State stopped in unison. The defenders held up their shields and formed a formation in front to protect their companions behind them. On the side, Wu Yuqing sat on the horse and ordered in a cold voice: "Throw stones."

Following Wu Yuqing's order, the trebuchet started immediately, and the soldiers poured the boulders transported over like raindrops onto the city gate of Hengyuan Kingdom. In addition to the sound of the stones hitting the city wall, the local soldiers could also hear the sound of death. wailing.

When all the boulders were thrown and the rain of arrows stopped, Wu Yuqing waved his hand and called the formation officer to shout, "You bastards of Hengyuan Kingdom, I will play with you until today, and come back tomorrow to call for formation. If you always want to do it Gui grandson, I'm not interested in coming to practice your voice with you every day, just wait until I hurt your city wall and chop off your heads."

Wu Yuqing waved his hand to signal the army to retreat after calling the officers to finish shouting. The footsteps of a hundred thousand soldiers made the ground tremble, and even the people in the city could feel it.

Wu Yuqing did not wait for the army to return to the barracks, but rode his horse ahead alone. After returning to the barracks, he knelt down on one knee and saluted, but was held up by both hands.

"Without outsiders, there is no need to stick to etiquette." Ji Xun whispered, wearing a soldier's uniform and a passerby mask on his face.

"The battle has been called according to the emperor's will, but the army of Hengyuan Kingdom still dare not fight." Wu Yuqing stood up and sat on the side of the head after Ji Xun fell, and rubbed against the army of Hengyuan Kingdom several times during this period Report to Ji Xun.

Ji Xun arrived in the army before dawn, and after hearing that the food and grass of Hengyuan Kingdom had been burned and there had only been small-scale wars in the past half a month, he gave Wu Yuqing such an order to lead 10 people to select the army of Hengyuan Kingdom .

After listening to Wu Yuqing's words, Ji Xun asked: "It seems that Hengyuan Kingdom's food and grass are not sufficient, otherwise the army would not be returned to the city."

"Hong Jinliang sent troops to guard the gate of the city. Our people can't find any information for the time being, but Wan Yanlin didn't take any action to threaten our army. It seems that the righteous sister has already arrived at the imperial capital of Hengyuan Kingdom." Wu Yuqing frowned at this point Frowning, he was very concerned about Biwu's safety, but he couldn't leave the army to go to the imperial capital of Hengyuan Kingdom.

"Rectify the army immediately, and attack the city early tomorrow morning. The heavy crossbow drawn by Ah Yue should also be used to its power. The city must be captured within three days." Ji Xun ordered after thinking for a while.

"The minister leads the decree." Wu Yuqing stood up and clasped his fists.

"I'm going to look for Ah Yue. You are in charge of the war here. You don't need to report to the capital unless it's urgent." Ji Xun said when Wu Yuqing turned to leave.

"No!" Wu Yuqing's face changed: "Ah Yue will not be in danger in the emperor, but the emperor will be in danger. Ah Yue will never agree if she knows."

"You can't even protect your own woman, what kind of emperor are you?" Ji Xun said resolutely: "Brother Yi, don't worry, since I am going to the imperial capital, I am prepared, and I won't let myself fall into the trap for Ah Yue's safety." danger."

"But..." Wu Yuqing wanted to say something, but stopped when Ji Xun waved his hand.

Wu Yuqing had been with Ji Xun for a period of time before, and Wu Yuqing had a certain understanding of Ji Xun's character, unless Su Mianyue personally persuaded it might be useful, but it was related to Su Mianyue's safety, no matter what happened, Ji Xun could not stop her from protecting his wife action.

"I will write a confidential letter to the head coach of Tianlan Nation, and if my brother-in-law needs to negotiate a war, he can send it together."

"Our army was able to face the enemy army that entered the palace directly because the righteous sister burned the enemy's food and grass before going to the imperial capital. I am afraid that Tianlan Country did not have this opportunity." Wu Yuqing frowned and asked: "I heard that before The righteous sister mentioned that she and Shangguanpei, the former great general of the Tianlan Kingdom, had rescued the descendants of the former royal family in a valley, and these people are very skilled and have incomparable military skills. If you can invite these people to come out of the mountain to help Tianlan The country can help the Tianlan country to restore its weakness, and I am afraid that these people will become the mortal enemies of the Yan country after they become famous."

"Ah Yue once discussed this matter with me. Before I came here, I sent a secret letter to Mu Ting. Whether he can invite these people to come out of the mountain depends on his sincerity and ability. Now that the countries are in chaos, the only way to solve it is to solve the problem." Only the crisis in front of us can make plans for the future." Ji Xun saw it openly, and said with a smile: "What's more, Brother Yi, your military skills are not inferior to those descendants of the previous dynasty, and the martial arts of the people in Ziwu Mountain will only be higher than those people. If you really want to fight Wake up, who is the loser is still unknown."

"It's the minister who is worrying about the sky, and here is a letter from the minister to the general of Tianlan Kingdom."

Wu Yuqing briefly explained his strategy to Ji Xun, and immediately wrote a letter after getting Ji Xun's approval.

Whether the war can be ended as soon as possible depends on whether Tianlan Nation cooperates with it. Yan Nation cannot afford to fight Hengyuan Nation with its own strength.
