Urban Spirit Sword Fairy

Chapter 2043 Procurement

After a short rest, Zhou Guo's army stormed towards the city wall once again.

Zheng Guangping squinted his eyes, looked at the soldiers attacking the city below, and then ordered: "Ready the arrows, light the fire, and shoot."

Immediately, the soldiers who originally thought they would continue to let people up to sit on human sandbags put up their bows one after another, then lit their arrows, and the arrows shot downward one by one.

The soldiers of the state of Zhou rushing to the front burst into raging flames the moment they were touched by these rockets.

This is the method that Qi Minghou came up with, to select some loyal soldiers and rush to the front, and his body is covered with kerosene. As long as he rushes to the city wall, he will burn himself with fire.

One or two of these burning men may be useless, but all the people who charge up will do so, and Zheng Guangping's subordinates will suffer heavy losses just by charging indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Guangping saw through the opponent's plot.

At this moment, the Zhou soldiers who were burned by the rocket were burning with flames all over their bodies, and their miserable roars and screams resounded throughout the battlefield.

Burned by the raging fire, these Zhou soldiers basically lost their minds and ran around regardless of whether they were enemies or friends. On the contrary, the soldiers behind them also burned up.

Qi Minghou, who was watching the battle from the rear, turned pale when he saw this. Zheng Guangping saw through his plan just as he thought of it?

This Zheng Guangping's ability to defend the city is indeed extraordinary, and Qi Minghou has seen it today.

His face was gloomy: "Send the order, retreat, and then discuss the big plan!"

"Yes."

The soldiers on Zhou's side can only do so.

For a moment, the two sides froze.

Chen Pingyi, who was on the city wall of Qi State, was quite satisfied with Zheng Guangping's methods, and praised: "With General Zheng here, even if Zhou State comes with a million troops, our city will still be unbreakable, haha."

Zheng Guangping didn't feel complacent, he understood that Zhou's side had too many troops.

The opponent's general, Qi Minghou, probably wanted to take down Qi'an County with as little cost as possible.

Otherwise, if you keep launching a fierce attack, after all, there are so many fewer people on your side than the opponent, it will be difficult to stop.

This guy is trying to fight a good fight.

So when the two attacks were hindered, they stopped. They didn't want to cause too much damage. Instead, they wanted to come up with a good strategy before continuing the attack.

Zheng Guangping told Chen Pingyi next to him about the opponent's intention.

After hearing this, Chen Pingyi said with a smile: "This shows that they are not sure about taking down Qi'an County City. Isn't this a good thing?"

"No." Zheng Guang said with a worried expression, "I would rather they attack in one go. If this drags on, our food supply will have problems."

Although Zheng Guangping specifically released 20 people outside, it was to protect the army transporting food.

But how could Marquis Qi Ming stand by and watch the troops transporting food enter the city?

"Then do we have a solution?" Chen Pingyi asked aloud from the side.

Zheng Guangping shook his head and said: "It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. I only have such a few people under my command. It is not easy to defend the city at this time. How can I ask for more."

Now, we can only take one step at a time.

Chen Pingyi, who was next to him, looked helpless at the barracks of Zhou Guo's army in the distance.

Zhou Qi's two armies froze a bit like this.

Let's attack, you have to pay a big price, and more importantly, once you pay too much, there will be generals who will secretly stab Qi Minghou's knife in the rear court.

Qi Minghou didn't want to be slandered by the people in the court hall for his hard-earned achievements, and then turned around and took off his position as a general.

Let others pick up the cheap.

In short, Qi Minghou was not willing to attack easily.

He also knew that if the Qi'an county was dragged on like this, it would inevitably fall into a food crisis, and it should not be him who was worried, but the other party.

But he couldn't just do nothing, he looked at the map in front of him, looked at the four cities where [-] troops were stationed each, and fell into deep thought.

……

Li Changan's life in the army was quite relaxed, and Ning Baichuan would not let him cook.

He didn't even dare to let him touch the job of cutting vegetables, lest the vegetables he touched would be poisonous.

Every day is to burn the fire. The life is quite simple, but it is also interesting.

After all, there are so many chefs around, even if you don't cook by yourself, you must be able to learn a lot from watching them cook.

And Ning Baichuan was really good to Li Changan, protecting Li Changan everywhere.

At noon that day, everyone was cooking, and Ning Baichuan was also looking around.

Of course, he doesn't need to cook, at most, he just occasionally gets interested and cooks two dishes to eat by himself.

At this time, suddenly an officer came quickly and said in a low voice: "Ning Baichuan, come here."

Ning Baichuan walked up to the officer with a smile and said, "Brother, what's the matter?"

The officer looked around and said in a low voice: "According to the news, Zhou Guo sent 10 people to come towards us. You should sneak away by yourself."

Since Ning Baichuan entered the barracks, he went around to recruit officers and make friends.

Just to come in handy for this kind of hand.

Ning Baichuan's face changed slightly, and he said in a low voice: "10 people? What can we do, thank you very much."

As he spoke, he hurriedly took out some silver, handed it to the officer, and said, "Brother, take care too."

"En." The officer glanced at the cooks and said, "You can run away in private. Don't take the others with you. If you let people escape before the battle, it will affect the morale of the army, and something will happen."

"I understand, I understand." Ning Baichuan nodded with a smile on his face.

After the officer left, his smile stopped in astonishment, and was replaced by a gloomy look.

Strictly speaking, Ning Baichuan is indeed a good person, otherwise he wouldn't be so kind to Li Changan.

During these days, at any rate, I have developed feelings with these chefs here.

Escape secretly by yourself?

He can't do it.

But at this time, there were no soldiers in the entire barracks watching them. After all, the enemy army was approaching, and they were preparing to fight everywhere.

"Li Chang'an, go, call everyone to my tent." Ning Baichuan said to Li Chang'an.

"okay."

Li Changan showed suspicion, but he quickly informed all the chefs, and they all gathered at Ning Baichuan.

"Sir, let's go out and buy a batch of vegetables, follow me." Ning Baichuan said.

A chef asked strangely, "Aren't the soldiers here to send our dishes? Why are we going to buy them this time?"
