When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 448 Singing from all sides (Part )

Xinqu was waiting for the follow-up troops to arrive.

Renhao and the others cannot sit still and wait for death.

After the two sides gradually calmed down, Renhao negotiated with the local noble elders and settled the food supply a little.

Then I figured it out and felt a little headache.

The food reserves are really just as You Xin and others said, only enough for everyone to eat for seven days.

Of course, if you want to save, there are more than 800 slaves who can increase and reduce slave consumption through starvation.

In addition, there are the elderly and children. They only need to be given a few taels of porridge every day to ensure that they do not starve to death.

Therefore, Renhao immediately ordered each tribe not to leave too many slaves, and all the remaining ones were gathered together and imprisoned to prevent the slaves from taking advantage of the situation to cause unrest.

Under the slavery social system, slaves are the lowest level of consumables. As long as the nobles are ruthless, there is no need to worry about their resistance.

But there is a second problem, that is, there is not enough firewood.

It was the middle of winter, and the Xiao family's firewood reserves were limited, only enough for four to five hundred of them, the nobles living in the city, and the rest were hoarded in all directions.

Ren Hao frowned and listened to the report below. Even if the firewood in the city was used sparingly, it would only be enough to last three days.

At this time, outside the city, there were tribesmen with the surnames Xin and Nu. After resting during the day, Xinqu asked him to chop wood. At the same time, he smashed all the charred camp wood nearby or soaked it with water.

He directly gave them a strong wall to clear the country, and then Xin Qu ordered people to dump all the excrement into the nearest runoff river water source, completely polluting the frozen river water.

The only waterway that passes through Xiaoshi City is now no longer drinkable.

Xiaoshi also discovered what Xinqu was doing, and quickly arranged for people to dig earth from the city and block all the canals.

But in this way, the water in the well can only be used for three to five days.

After all, it is winter, the groundwater level is already low, and there is no replenishment from rain or river water. Once large-scale extraction is carried out, people will definitely die of thirst.

So Xiao held a well-digging ceremony, killed three human sacrifices, and then hurriedly dug more wells to meet the expenses.

In short, both sides are making moves, and Ren Hao does not dare to act rashly now, because the number of Youxin clan is unclear, and she is not sure that she will be able to defeat Youxin clan if she rushes out.

Once they get into a fight, other tribes with the surname Lu will probably pounce on them like hungry wolves, and then the advantage of the surname Lu will really be in vain.

Moreover, if you retreat further from Xindi, you will reach Banquan Mountain to the south.

Sakazumi!

The battle of Yanhuang Banquan was decided here.

"By the way, have you contacted the Tao family hiding in the east? There are quite a few of them. If we can contain one or two, we won't be so miserable here."

Renhao found Chief Xiao, but Chief Xiao looked embarrassed when he heard this and said, "Taogui has entered the mountain, saying he is going to capture Xin's former troops. I can't find anyone behind me."

"What! Damn it!" Ren Hao's face turned even darker.

When she needed someone the most, this Tao Shi actually disappeared for her to play with!

Tao's disappearance is also a habitual operation.

Several elders couldn't help but shake their heads slightly when they heard Tao Gui. Tao Gui was not a courageous person, and he didn't want to risk his tribe's men on the battlefield casually.

There is absolutely no problem in asking him to fight with the wind, but if you want him to attack the tough ones, he will grind with you. Therefore, after going back and forth, everyone rarely takes him to the main attack. If you do, it is to find a living father for yourself.

In short, the Tao family can't count on it. The situation of the Xin family in the north is unknown. The only place that can place high hopes is the south.

"Send thirty people to the south and ask for support. At least we need the south to open up the food channel for us... otherwise... we will be too passive."

Ren Hao made up his mind and said.

Soon dusk comes.

Smoke is curling up from all over the north.

The same is true in the south, but much thinner.

good chance!

Renhao saw the thin smoke from the south and without much hesitation, he asked 500 people to escort 50 carriages and horses to the south. “It’s really coming out!”

The chief of the Qingli clan was shocked. He did not expect that the Rong clan actually arranged for someone to escort the carriage and horse to the south, preparing to ask for help.

And the Youxin family actually anticipated their actions.

But in fact, no one expected that the Xin family had anticipated Renhao's and their actions and started to set the stage for them.

Twenty miles to the south, there is a forest.

Previously, Xinqu had asked the chief of the Qingli clan to go south with his servants to cut firewood, denying Renhao and the others the opportunity to collect firewood, and also arranged for Yunyi to come over.

Yunyi is responsible for supervising the work of the Qingli clan chief, and lurks in ambush on the route that the Yourong clan must pass when heading south.

"You can arrange to block them and hold off their infantry, and the remaining chariots and horses can be solved with tripping ropes."

Although the chariot is fierce, the horse trip rope can still cause tons of damage to the horses, solving their communication, and then they can make dumplings and put them in the pot.

Xinqu urgently needed to take down Xin Di.

Only by controlling Xin Di can we move south to Banquan, further intimidate the Yourong clan, and overturn the chessboard that holds all the forces together.

In exchange for maximum benefits.

Soon, the chariots and horses arrived at Qingli's temporary stronghold. The chariots and soldiers immediately charged, and other infantry held Qingli's back.

The two sides immediately fell into a fight: "Kill!!!"

The cry to kill was loud, but in fact both sides were holding back and fighting.

The chief of the Qingli clan wanted to hold back his opponent, so why didn't the opponent also hold them back and give those fifty chariots and horses a chance of survival?

As a result, the tacit entanglement gradually became anxious.

Time passed by, and the sky became dark.

Chief Qingli stood on the chariot, not focusing on the battlefield in front of him, but on the rear.

Can this Yunyi solve these communications?

"The enemy is coming!"

Yun Yi waved her hand, and a flag commander held a torch and quickly drew preparation orders in the darkness.

The captain, Xiaoyan, who was congratulating himself on escaping, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as you pass through this forest, you can reach Berlin Mountain all the way. Once you enter Berlin Mountain, you will enter the heart of the country, so there shouldn't be too many problems.

They raced hard and passed the halfway mark in a moment.

"Uuuuuu——"

The horn sounded suddenly, and someone suddenly used the tree to take advantage of the darkness and wrap large strands of hemp rope around the trunk to tighten it.

Xiaoyan felt his head bulge and shouted: "The enemy is attacking... rush..."

Call for help! ! !

The horses screamed, and the chariot was overturned. It was already dark and the snowy road was slippery, but they were still running so fast. If they didn't stumble, who would stumble?

Then, there were screams from people and the sound of flying feathers.

The arrows quickly knocked over the people who were ambushed.

"Defense! Hide in the car...ah!"

Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, someone shot an arrow and hit him right in the face.

"host!"

The servants and comrades panicked and wanted to rescue them, but unfortunately the arrow rain came three or four times in a row. Only then did someone rush out from the forest holding a shield to cover the short swordsmen and began to harvest.

Xiaoyan was protected by the left and right, and suddenly he touched the broken hemp rope on the ground. The already painful injury spurted out more blood between his bared teeth and grinned: "You have Xin, it's so disgusting! So... …There is no aristocratic manner!!!”
