Nearly half a month has passed since the first day of siege.

The walls of Xia Cai City have been smashed by catapults, but they still stand tenaciously between this heaven and earth.

Under the city, there was no longer a trace of river water in the moat, and it was covered with Yuan Shujun's corpse.

As the besieging party, according to custom, it is customary to collect the corpses of its own fallen soldiers at the time of the withdrawal of the army every day.

Yuan Shu had clearly fallen into madness.

Not to mention recovering the corpse, Yuan Shu is now eager to directly use the corpse to build a broad avenue that can directly ascend to the top of the city.

You must know that in the past half a month, Yuan Shu's forward battalion has been completely removed, and at the same time, the Chinese army has also lost 50,000 troops.

The 300,000 army that Yuan Shu brought out when he set out on the expedition in Shouchun has now been half gone.

As the defender of the city, although the losses of the Xuzhou army were much lower than those of Yuan Shu's army, they had also lost more than 10,000 troops.

Xia Cai has truly become a bottomless meat grinder.

Every night, it seems that you can hear the unyielding wails of countless fallen soldiers.

"Your Majesty, let's withdraw, too many people have died, and now the morale of the army is low, and there are many complaints among the soldiers.

Looking at Yan Xiang, who was speaking to him, Yuan Shu felt a deep betrayal.

You rat-eyed guys.

Retreat? Where to retreat? The battle has already reached this point, does it mean that it can be withdrawn

? If he withdraws here, will he not admit his defeat?

You must know that Yuan Shuke has just established a country and become emperor.

All the princes of the world are watching.

If his 300,000 troops beat 50,000 troops, and in the end he suffered nearly half of the casualties and fled in disarray, then what face would he have to stand in this world

? Moreover, when the other princes saw that they were so cowardly, how could they not attack themselves and get a piece of the pie?

In the current situation, they must win, even if they fight to the end with a single soldier.

The furious Yuan Shu had already woken up, but it was too late, and he was already in a dilemma.

"Come on, drag this elephant down and cut it down. At the moment of the war, they dare to cholera the hearts of the army!" "

Now, the only way to do this is to eliminate all anti-war voices."

"Your Majesty! Think twice!"

Seeing the soldiers escorting Yan Xiang away, Zhang Xun and other generals knelt down to plead for Yan Xiang.

But their plea only got Yuan Shu's arrogant back.

Looking at Yuan Shu, who didn't say a word, the generals only felt cold in their hearts.

Ignoring

all the voices of intercession for Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu only felt that his heart was full of sadness.

Why, no one understands me?

The generals are not Yuan Shu, and they can't see everything Yuan Shu sees.

And Yuan Shu is not the generals under his command, and he also ignores the morale of the army.

This is inevitably a kind of sadness.

"Order! Remove the ladder, the whole army is divided into four roads, and Xia Cai is surrounded, and not a single fly is allowed to fly in. "

The loss of military strength made Yuan Shu have to compromise.

Now, there is no longer the ability to continue the attack of the previous intensity.

Otherwise, even if Xiang Ji is destroyed, I am afraid that Yuan Shu's family background will be completely empty.

However, as the besieging party, Yuan Shu still believes that the advantage is on his side.

Lao Tzu, I besieged you to death, and I didn't believe that the grain and grass in your city could be supplied.

Wait for the day when you run out of food, hum, I want you to die!

It's just that Yuan Shu doesn't know that his own grain channel is now facing a huge crisis.

"General, it has been found out that the grain transport team from Shouchun has set off, and now the distance from our army can be reached tomorrow. Hearing

the adjutant general's report, Zhao Yun, who was still combing the horse's hair, suddenly got up.

It's coming! It's finally here! I've been waiting for half a month, and the grain delivery team has finally arrived.

This shows that Yuan Shu's army has run out of food, as long as I intercept all this grain team, then the strategic goal set by Jia Xu's army will be achieved, and the great cause of the lord will be completed!"

The

careful Zhao Yun began to make the final preparations for the belated grain delivery team to give big gifts.

Vertical said.

The slowly coming grain transport team finally appeared in Zhao Yun's field of vision.

Looking at the endless grain transportation team, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh, this Yuan Shu is really wealthy.

But when he sent out his army,

he only had an army of 300,000 troops, and now he has been with the lord for half a month, so there are not enough 300,000 people, and he can transport so much grain and grass at one time.

This is what Zhao Yun doesn't know, because Yuan Shu has changed his strategy and is preparing to besiege Xia Cai for a long time, so this time, it is enough for Shouchun City to transport enough grain and grass for his army to be eaten by more than 100,000 people for half a year.

And this almost hollowed out Yuan Shu's family foundation.

But Yuan Shu is not worried, this is in Yangzhou, his own nest.

Except for the Xiang Nationality, there are no foreign enemies.

As long as the Xiang Ji is destroyed, he can go on to seize Xuzhou.

Then whether it is soldiers, or food and grass, they will be replenished in large quantities.

It is precisely because of this belief that Yuan Shu made a desperate bet and ordered people to transport all the grain stored in Shouchun to the front line.

I will not only destroy your Xiangji, but also directly seize Xuzhou!"

After

half an hour, the grain transportation team of nearly 10,000 people finally entered the ambush circle set up by Zhao Yun.

After giving the order, Zhao Yun mounted his war horse and rode towards the rear of the grain team with a thousand dragons.

Since the lord asked for a grain of rice that was not allowed to enter the Yuan Shu military camp, Zhao Yun, who was an exemplary soldier, naturally had to perfectly complete the tasks assigned by the item.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a fire ahead!"

Yuan Yao, the eldest son of Yuan Shu, who was the chief general of the grain transportation team, obviously did not have any strategic vision.

When I saw a fire in front of me, I didn't have any vigilance.

After all, this is Yangzhou, his father's base camp, and his father's army is still besieging Xiang Ji in front, how can there be enemies?"

"

This damn weather, hot can catch fire.

But just when Yuan Yao thought it was just a trivial matter, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded on both sides of the road.

"What's going on?" Yuan Yao,

who had zero strategic vision, still hadn't figured out the situation.

"Whoosh!"

As the first feather arrow was fired, the Canglong Cavalry officially appeared in front of Yuan Yao's grain transportation team.

"Enemy attack! enemy attack!" The

sudden arrival of the cavalry completely disrupted the position of the grain transport team.

Not only did Yuan Yao not expect it, but even these soldiers who transported grain did not expect that in his rear, a cavalry unit would be killed.
