Water Margin people

Chapter 1310 Xianzhou City

"His Majesty!"

Sister-in-law Gu looked at Sun Lei and his group with a smile. During this period, she had transformed all the unused carriages into dining carts, and she could immediately start cooking wherever she was pulled by the horses.

"Let's try my sister-in-law's cooking today!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"If Your Majesty is there, my little sister will go and get ready!"

Sister-in-law Gu smiled and went to the stove to prepare dishes.

After a while, Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin led others to prepare a table of delicious food.

"Sister-in-law, Sun Xin, you all have a seat!"

Sun Lei looked at the two people who were about to leave and said with a smile. The two of them did not hesitate and took their seats with a smile.

"Sister-in-law and brother Sun Xin have worked hard on the logistics during this period! There has been no flaw in the food supply for the 500,000-strong army. You have a share of the credit for the success of this war!"

Sun Lei looked at Mrs. Gu and Sun Xin and said.

"It's all what we should do!"

Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin said again and again with smiles on their faces.

"But there may be some danger next!"

Sun Lei looked at Mrs. Gu and Sun Xin and said.

"Your Majesty is saying that the enemy is coming back to attack?"

Sun Xin reacted quickly. In this kind of large-scale battle, sneak attacks on the enemy's logistical supplies and food supplies are a common method.

"Yes, judging from the battle situation on the front lines in the past few days, the enemy has almost exhausted the food and grass prepared by us. They will definitely attack us when we are fully clothed and well-fed."

Sun Lei nodded.

The army of the Jin Kingdom was drawn from various tribes. In their spare time, they served the people and fought as soldiers. Therefore, they had to bring their own weapons, armor and food.

There is a limit to how much food an individual soldier can carry, and the logistics of the Jin Kingdom are not as complete as those of the Qi Kingdom, and they cannot provide food for hundreds of thousands of people.

Nowadays, the Qi State eats three hot steamed buns every day, and the Jin State eats one hungry meal and one full meal. The morale of the Jin State must be low, and Wanyan Wu will not sit idly by when begging for food. A sneak attack on the rear grain and grass baggage must be its target.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will definitely stop the enemy!"

Shi Jin said quickly.

"No, you can't block it! You have to put it in and eat it!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, blocking the enemy was time-consuming and laborious. He never liked the place day and night, so it would be better to deal with it at once.

"Put it in and eat it?"

Everyone was happy when they heard it, and it was not difficult to do this if they were prepared.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the two of us will cooperate fully!"

Sister-in-law Gu and Sun Xin saluted Sun Lei and said, although they are responsible for logistics, they also have a heart to go to the front line, so they will not let it go if they have the opportunity now.

There was another feast, and the aroma of delicious food spread far away.

In the dark night, in a bush, several spies from the Jin Kingdom were hiding in the bush, their bodies covered with weeds.

"Damn it, these Central Plains people are still in the mood to eat and drink!"

He almost chewed Wanyan's golden marbles, and his stomach growled a few times when he smelled the aroma of the meat. Now the entire Jin Kingdom has nearly run out of food and grass, and they all rely on Wanyan's department to provide it, but the food is also rationed. , can't eat enough at all.

"I see that the enemy's defenses are loose. Why don't you go grab some?"

Several spies nearby also had their stomachs growling, and they looked greedily at the bonfire in the distance, where fresh and tender meat was being roasted.

For the Jurchens, robbery is normal. If you don't have anything, just grab it. Only the strong deserve to have everything.

"No, if we go there, we will just alert the enemy!"

Wanyan Jindanzi said, there were only seven or eight of them, and it was too risky to rob. Even if they succeeded, they wouldn't be able to steal much. At this time, the gain outweighed the loss.

"Meng'an, let's grab some!"

Everyone's stomachs were growling and they couldn't care less. Now they just wanted to grab some food and have a full meal. "Everyone, be quiet! I won't spare you if you are exposed!"

Wanyan Jinpinzi said viciously to the people around him.

No one dared to speak anymore, and they lay down in the grass and did not dare to move.

At midnight, soldiers and horses in the Qi camp were mobilized.

"The enemy is going to take action tonight! Go back and report!"

Wanyan Jinbaizi ordered to a soldier, and the soldier quickly crawled back.

"Meng'an, what if the enemy is going to attack Xianzhou?"

A soldier asked in a low voice, "Now the forefront of Jin's defense line is Xianzhou City."

"It should be. It's just as His Majesty expected. Let's change positions and continue to investigate."

Wanyan Jinpinzi and his men slowly crawled to the side. They were close to the main road at this location, and the enemy might pass by here later on their march.

"Young men, cheer up for me, and I will destroy Xianzhou City tonight!"

Li Kui walked in the front holding a wooden ax and kept shouting.

"Break Xianzhou!"

"Break Xianzhou!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Tieniu, let's go to Xianzhou at night. What we want is surprise. Are you yelling like this because you're afraid the enemy won't know?"

Bao Xu looked at Li Kui helplessly. This guy had no military knowledge at all.

"What do you know? What's unexpected? There are so many of us. Even a blind man can hear footsteps even if he can't see anyone. They all know anyway. What does it matter how many times you shout?"

Li Kui said nonchalantly.

"Ti Niu's brain suddenly became better!"

Li Gun and Xiang Chong both looked at Li Kui in surprise. Although Li Kui's behavior was very reckless, it had to be said that it made some sense.

"Hmph, you guys are dumber than me, no wonder you can only be under my command!"

Li Kui raised his head proudly, like a big bear who had always been in power, holding up his ax to show off his power.

"It's the heavily armored infantry. The enemy has sent out elite troops!"

Beside Wanyan's golden marble, a soldier whispered that they had suffered a lot from Li Kui's trap during this period of fighting. These heavy armored infantry were all equipped with heavy axes. When fighting, it would be Swinging an ax to chop melons and vegetables, their Jin army lacked armor and did not dare to compete with them.

"Let's go back to Xianzhou!"

Wanyan Jinpinzi ordered to the soldiers.

At dawn, Li Kui's army arrived outside Xianzhou City. At this time, there were a lot of fires on Xianzhou City, and the Jin army had already lined up and waited.

"Brother Li Kui, let's fight for a while first!"

Chen Da looked at Li Kui and said, and as he spoke, the artillery was pulled to the front of the battle array.

"Hurry up, it's best to blow down the city wall, and I'll lead people in directly!"

Li Kui urged. The soldiers around him were wearing heavy armor, which was only suitable for fighting on the ground but not for attacking the city. They couldn't even climb up the ladder quickly.

A blast of artillery broke the pre-dawn silence, and the city of Xianzhou burst into flames. However, after a round of artillery bombardment, it had no effect as expected.

"Your artillery is incompetent. Why can't such a city collapse?"

Li Kui looked at Chen Da and Yang Chun and asked. This was far from the effect he wanted.

"Brother Li Kui, Xianzhou City is already strong, and the enemy has reinforced it with logs and stones. A round of bombardment will be effective."

Yang Chun opened his mouth and said that during this period, the Jin army had already become accustomed to artillery bombardment. They dug trenches on the plains as bunkers, and used wood to build bunkers half underground in the forest. The city would not be unprepared.

"How long will this take?"

Li Kui was very dissatisfied. He was still counting on the artillery to directly blow down the city wall, and he led his troops to rush in.
