Chapter 218 General Tomb ([-])

"Why did they run out of food and grass so quickly? Didn't you say at the beginning that you would supply food and grass within half a year?" Tuoba Longcheng's face was gloomy. If Yanran's 300,000 army ran out of food, the situation they would face would be extremely severe.

"It's not something I can decide!" Qin Buhai sighed, how could he not know how terrible it is for the army to run out of food.

When the quartermaster told himself about this today, he immediately understood Mu Liancheng's intentions. Although Yan Ran's national strength was sufficient, he would not let him lead the army for so long.

Moreover, Mu Liancheng also had his own difficulties, he didn't want to constrain Qin Buhai, but he really couldn't mobilize food and grass now, and the severe drought in Jingguo last year was the same for Yanran.

Right now, in order to ease the situation in the imperial court, Mu Liancheng is running around, and only then can he barely mobilize food and grass to supply the front line, but now rumors are spreading in Xuanjing City, Yanzi is investigating officials everywhere, and everyone in the court and the opposition is in danger.

In such a situation, Qin Buhai could not be spared. Now that the food and grass are in danger, this battle cannot be withdrawn. It can only continue to fight, so it can only start the war as soon as possible.

"Fortunately, the affairs before the war have been handled properly, and there is no hidden danger in the war now." Qin Buhai sighed, just taking this kind of words to comfort himself.

Fighting is not a game, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, how can it be possible to be foolproof with only one word, even Nan Gongchang dare not guarantee it.

"If possible, I really want to quit right now. If you retreat now, the food and grass may barely last until Xuanjing." Tuoba Longcheng clenched his teeth, with deep unwillingness.

"If I could choose this way, I wouldn't want to continue the fight, but the court will not allow me to retreat." Qin Buhai looked in the direction of Youzhou, why didn't he want to retreat, but this battle was too important for Yan Ran .

Even if the food and grass are running out now, he has ordered people to raise food and grass immediately, but he has never considered the cessation of troops and strikes. If he retreats, Yan Ran will never be able to return to heaven.

"Yanran is different from Rongdi in terms of national conditions. It is entirely due to the last emperor's support that he can hold on until now. If this battle is not fought, and this breath cannot be uttered, Yanran will only continue to fall. Even without Jingguo Yan Ran will collapse on her own without any pressure." Qin Buhai has his own helplessness.

Everyone can only see that Yanran's army is now overwhelming, but how can they understand that this battle is a battle that Yanran can't afford to lose, but for Jingguo, even if Youzhou is lost, there will be no battle. The danger of subjugation.

Yanran is betting on the fortune of the country, Nan Gongxing is very clear about this, so she weakens Yanran's luck again and again, which is to reduce Yanran's fighting spirit, but she still underestimated Qin Buhai, a veteran.

"I have to say that most of the veterans who have experienced the war of destroying the country have their own abilities. If this is a young general, he would have fled in such a dangerous situation!" Nan Gongxing put down the information helplessly.

She thought that spreading rumors among Yanran's army would force Qin Buhai to struggle. Coupled with their food and grass crisis, Yanran's army's morale would definitely fluctuate abnormally.

But she didn't expect that Qin Buhai would directly kill all the spies she had placed in the army, and then brazenly suppress the news of the food shortage at the risk of the world.

"Qin Buhai is ready to fight to the death. This kind of opponent is the most terrifying." Huai Yunqian looked solemn. Now they have played all the cards they should have played, but they still haven't broken up the coalition forces of the two countries.

"Report!" The scouts rushed in, the two looked solemn, and Huai Yunqian couldn't wait to ask: "Is there a fight on the front line?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the enemy army has raided our Goulian Mountain position tonight, and the soldiers in front of me are fighting bloody battles!" The scout's words completely opened up the long-standing battle situation in the northern border.

Huai Yunqian immediately ordered the army to guard the grain road and strictly guard the four borders of Youzhou. The coalition forces of the two countries must not have any chance to besiege Youzhou City. As long as Youzhou persists for half a month, the coalition forces of the two countries will collapse without a fight.

"Although it's not the right time now, I'm afraid Mu Liancheng will not let the shortage of food and grass continue." Nan Gongxing opened her eyes again, and she could see signs of a large-scale mobilization of troops in Yanran's territory.

"Siege of a city is different from a decisive battle in the wild. It needs to be slowed down, and with the defense we deployed in Youzhou before, it shouldn't be a problem to defend it for a few months." Huai Yunqian comforted Nangong Xing.

In the usual way, Huai Yunqian's judgment is meaningful, because the attacking side often has to suffer a lot of losses, and the defending side waits for work at leisure, and can easily hold for a long time.

However, the reason why Nangong Xing was very worried this time must not be groundless. Nangong Xing looked to the north, and this time there might be a big killer that they had never seen before on the battlefield.

Gou Lianshan position.

The defensive position was Li Shichen's top general, Han Dangxian. Goulian Mountain was built on the mountain, and there was a huge Great Wall built on the mountain. They only needed to deploy defenses on the Great Wall, and the crossbowmen alone could shoot and kill a large number of enemies.

But this time the invincible tactics were limited, because a strange thing appeared in the vanguard of the coalition forces of the two countries. They were in a team of three, and they held up black things one after another.

The bow and arrow were inserted straight into it, and did not cause any damage to the enemy under cover at all. This made Han Dangxian panic, and immediately asked people to move the rocks and logs to the top of the city.

Suddenly, a fireball fell from the sky and hit the city wall straight. In an instant, countless soldiers burst into flames. Han Dangxian immediately realized that this was a new weapon invented by the two countries for the purpose of attacking the city.

There are 20,000 people defending Gou Lianshan, many of whom are soldiers from Jiangnan Road. They have never seen this new type of weapon, especially those large wooden frames like ladders in the enemy's formation, from which fireballs were thrown at them.

This weapon caused them heavy losses. In just one morning of fighting, they lost a lot of soldiers. Han Dangxian sent scouts to Youzhou several times to report back, but he was like an ant on a hot pot, thinking of countermeasures everywhere.

The battle report from the front line was soon delivered to Li Shichen. When he saw the weapon that Han Dang had someone draw, he immediately understood the reason behind it.

"Hurry up and get people to go to the Goulian Mountain position, withdraw them, shrink the defense line, and concentrate our troops!" Li Shichen immediately gave the order, and at this time, thousands of people had been killed or injured in the Goulian Mountain position.

There were so many casualties in just one day of fighting, even Han Dangxian, who had been through the battlefield, was terrified, looking around for the name of that new weapon.

"General, I got it. People from Yanran call this kind of thing a 'catapult'. It's not clear who invented it!" Hearing this, Han Dangxian clenched his fists tightly.

He had just fought today, and this loss was far beyond his expectations. If he continued like this, he might not be able to delay Yanran's army rations to the bottom, and his side would be unable to persist in surrendering.

Seeing the soldiers looking at him from time to time in the distance, Han Dangxian knew very well that if he couldn't think of a way these days, some soldiers who were frightened by the trebuchet would rebel and force him to surrender.

This is the situation to be dealt with on the battlefield, especially the soldiers under his command are not soldiers from Youzhou camp, but soldiers transferred from Jiangnan Road. Their fighting will is extremely weak and they are easily persuaded by others.

Han Dang first hit the city tower with a hammer, his eyes were full of red, if he was given 20,000 people, all of them were soldiers of the Youzhou Camp, why would he think so much?
"Don't worry, everyone. Rongdi and Yanran are not rich in fire oil. They can't last long in today's attack on the city, and they have to leave it to Youzhou. There will be changes tomorrow." Han Dangxian deserves to be the battlefield Veteran, he quickly adjusted his mind and found a way to deal with it.

The captain of Jiangnan Dao who was present was skeptical when he heard this, and Han Dangxian explained when he saw this: "I went to the tower to observe today. This kind of huge stone used for trebuchets needs to be wrapped with a layer of sheepskin to burn. cause massive damage.

However, the two countries have always purchased things like fire oil from Nanman or from Jingguo, and Jingguo has always strictly regulated the total amount of trade, even if they have accumulated over the years, they will not have too much reserves. "

"But what if they found this kind of mineral in the country?" The little captain choked Han Dangxian with a sentence, and even he didn't know how to explain it.

If the two countries really discover this kind of mineral deposit, it is obvious that this offensive will not stop this morning, and the rubble falling from the sky is wrapped in fire, which will be a disaster for the soldiers standing on the tower.

"If that's the case, then I will fight to the death here with you, and even if we die, we will firmly nail them to the Goulian Mountain!" Han Dangxian slammed his hammer on the table, with a tragic atmosphere in the tent spread.

Most of the captains had sad looks on their faces. No one was afraid of death, not to mention that they were originally from the south of the Yangtze River, and even if they died, they would not want to die in the far north of Youzhou.

As for the sense of identification with Jingguo, it is even more nonsense. Jiangnan used to belong to Donghai Kingdom. Although these captains are still young, most of them were born in Donghai Kingdom.

They don't have any sense of identity with Jing Guo. For them, Donghai is their homeland. It's just that they are now kings and losers, so they have no choice but to join the Jing army.

Suddenly, an absurd idea popped up in these people's minds, now only Han Dangxian in front of Gou Lianshan is a Jing Guoren, if he is killed here, how about they turn against him on the spot under the banner of restoring the East China Sea?

Han Dangxian looked closely at the map with his back turned to them, while the captains turned their eyes to a silent young man. The people of Jingguo didn't know his identity, but they knew it very well.

Because he is a collateral branch of the East China Sea Kingdom's royal family, his pseudonym is Song Xiaoer, but his real name is Song Yangtai, which is only one word different from the second prince Song Yangliu who is now going around contacting the adherents of the East China Sea Kingdom.

Song Yangtai slowly opened his eyes. The Donghai Kingdom had already been destroyed when he was born. If the emperor hadn't contacted him a few years ago, he would not have known that he was also a member of the Donghai Kingdom's royal family.

He, who had no hope of restoring his country, finally waited for this opportunity.

A great opportunity to restore the East China Sea.
