Chapter 138: Soaring through the Clouds

Dingbian City sent an army to burn the Hu people's grain and grass hoarding points. Then Huang Wenlong asked Xiao Ding what to do next?

Xiao Ding thought for a while and said, "We can wait for a few days, and when they are too hungry to fight hard, we will concentrate our firepower on attacking their camp." ”

"Okay, let's do it!" Huang Wenlong nodded in response.

This time, Fei Wen did not raise any objections.

The grain and grass in Tuhe Town were burned, and the Hu army was really in turmoil. At present, the grain and grass in the army can only last for one or two days. Usually, the troops escorted by the Hu people to transport grain and grass were only escorted once a month.

In fact, not all of the grain and grass of the Hu people were escorted from the Great Xia Kingdom, and a large part of them were looted by them after invading the territory of the Great Song Kingdom.

Grabbing money, food, and women has been their consistent style since the invasion. Basically, everywhere they went, geese plucked their feathers, and chickens and dogs were not left.

Therefore, the grain and grass escorted from the Great Xia Kingdom only accounted for a small part. Once a month, they don't have to worry about it.

As a result, this time, all the grain and grass they had hoarded were burned. It will take more than 20 days to wait for the next batch of grain and grass to be delivered.

What support have they relied on for more than 20 days? Li Daocheng frowned, "Strategist, do you have a good plan?" ”

If the soldiers can't eat, they may riot, and if they can't control it, it's over.

Mao Yanshun also shook his head helplessly, and said: "I don't have any good ideas, the only thing we can do now is to tell the head soldier not to make dry rice from the existing grain for the time being, but to cook it into porridge, try to save it, and eat a few more meals." At the same time, we also have to fly pigeons to pass the book to the current saints, so that His Majesty can arrange for the delivery of food as soon as possible, and it is estimated that if it is fast, it can be delivered in half a month. In addition, isn't the reinforcements led by the national teacher coming soon, he will definitely bring some military rations when he comes, and he can also temporarily relieve his urgent needs. ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go." Li Daocheng said with a sigh.

Now, the reinforcements brought by the national teacher have become their hope for support.

Therefore, the side of Dingbian City was waiting for the Hu army to lose its combat effectiveness, and the Hu people were waiting for the reinforcements brought by the national division to arrive.

Both sides waited quietly for three days.

The spies on the side of Dingbian City did not hear that there was a riot in the camp of Hu Daren, but found that a group of people was rushing in the direction of Dingbian City.

After receiving the report, several leaders of Dingbian City all came to take the north city gate tower to watch.

I saw a team of people coming from the northwest.

"It seems that the reinforcements of the Hu people have arrived." Huang Wenlong said that coming from this direction must be the army of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"It looks like our plan is going to fall through." Yang Xianling said with some regret.

I was expecting to wait for the Hu people to lose their combat effectiveness from hunger before attacking the Hu camp, but I didn't expect the Hu people to suddenly come to reinforcements. The reinforcements are a new force, and the reinforcements must be carrying some food and grass with the army, so the previous plan cannot be realized.

"God can't help me!" Huang Wenlong was also a little frustrated.

"Two adults, don't be too pessimistic." At this time, Xiao Ding on the side opened his mouth.

"Why did Tian Dutong say that?" Yang Xianling asked suspiciously. Obviously, everyone can figure out such a simple truth, and it is impossible for someone as smart as Xiao Ding not to figure it out!

"Although the Hu people have come with reinforcements, I believe that the food they have brought with the reinforcements will definitely not be too much, we only need to wait a few more days, and when their reinforcements are also out of food, we will attack again." Xiao Ding said confidently.

"What Tian Dutong said is not unreasonable, for the time being, we can only do this first." Huang Wenlong thought for a while and said, he also agreed with Xiao Ding's opinion.

Fei Wen has not been silent this time, twice led troops to fight, twice involved in danger, and now he has developed a war phobia. The last thing he wants now is to take his troops out to fight. It's best to stay in the city all the time, so that you don't lose your life.

After a few days of recuperation, Bian Yuhou is now much better injured, and today he also came to the city, but his eyes when he looked at Xiao Ding were full of hatred. So he definitely won't answer Xiao Ding's words.

The team galloping over from afar was indeed a reinforcement from the Hu people. It is the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by the national teacher Li Wantong. They came to the Hu people's camp and stationed in the camp.

Li Daocheng was very happy that he finally looked forward to reinforcements. In the past two days, although they could still eat in the camp, every meal was porridge. Even he is no exception. He also drank porridge with the same meal as the soldiers. He was so drunk that he felt weak when he walked.

The generals under him are even more miserable. These generals have always been the masters of drinking and eating meat, not to mention that they can eat rice at every meal, but it is not a problem to eat a few catties of meat. Now let them only drink porridge every day, where can they stand it?

Like a savior, he welcomed Li Wantong into the big tent of the Chinese army. The first thing Li Daocheng said was: "Li Guoshi, how much military rations did you bring with the army this time?" ”

Li Wantong was stunned for a moment, wondering in his heart, he was not a grain transport officer, why would the eldest prince ask like this? "I don't have much grain and grass with the army, why does the eldest prince ask so?"

"National teacher, don't you know, the grain and grass of our army were burned by the soldiers of the Great Song Kingdom a few days ago. Now our army is out of food! Li Daocheng said miserably.

"Ahh How so! Li Wantong was also taken aback.

"It's all because I was defenseless, and I was taken advantage of by the army of the Great Song Kingdom." Li Daocheng said remorsefully.

"But I didn't bring much grain and grass, and it would last for five days at most." Li Wantong said helplessly.

"It's good to last for five days, I've already sent a message to my father and asked him to help arrange for the escort to send grain and grass as soon as possible. It is estimated that it should be able to arrive in half a month. Li Daocheng said bitterly.

"It seems that we should save some food, eat less at each meal, and at least be escorted with grain and grass." Li Wantong said.

"It's really not good, we still have war horses in the barracks, and we can kill some war horses to get through these days." Military advisor Mao Yanshun opened his mouth on the side.

In fact, for the Hu people, horses are like their lives, and if you want to say that killing war horses is used to satisfy hunger, in fact, they are more heartbroken than anyone else.

"It seems like there's no better way to do it." Li Daocheng said.

"The national teacher came this time, I don't know if there is a strategy to attack the city?" Mao Yanshun was more concerned about the siege of the city. He asked Li Wantong for advice.

"Tell me about the current state of the war." Li Wantong said.

By the way, Mao Yan explained in detail the current situation of the two armies.

Li Wantong closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "I have a plan here, but I don't know if it will work yet." ”

"National teacher, please speak!" Li Daocheng said.

"Since the people of the Great Song Kingdom have cut off our army's food and grass, we might as well start with their food." Li Wantong said indifferently.

"How do you start with food?" Mao Yanshun asked curiously.

"I have a poison here, and when you eat it, you will bleed to death. I plan to infiltrate Dingbian City in the middle of the night, and then sprinkle poison into the well of the kitchen of the Xiang Army, so that their soldiers will be poisoned and die as long as they get up early to eat and drink, and Dingbian City will be destroyed. Li Wantong said as he took out a porcelain vase from his bosom and put it on the table.

"The national teacher is a good plan! Why worry that it won't work? Mao Yanshun said.

"It's because our army is short of food and grass now, and I'm afraid that we won't have the strength to attack the city by then!" Li Wantong expressed the worries in his heart.

"As long as all the soldiers in their city are poisoned and die, we won't have to take the city with much effort. As long as we enter the city, we will have food and grass. There is no need to wait for the grain and grass escorted by our Great Xia Kingdom. When Mao Yanshun said this, his mouth suddenly opened.

"What the military advisor said is very true, as long as we can enter the city, we don't have to worry about running out of military rations." Lee Do-seung also chimed in.

"However, the national teacher, I still have a question, the Dingbian City is heavily guarded, I don't know how the national teacher can enter the city?" Mao Yanshun also asked his questions.

"This military advisor doesn't have to worry about it, the exercises that Poor Dao has practiced recently have achieved a little success, and it is no longer a problem to fly over a small city wall in the clouds." Li Wantong pretended to be mysterious and said.

When everyone heard this, they were all taken aback, and secretly said, could it be that this old way can really soar through the clouds? Even Li Daocheng was surprised, he had known this national teacher since he was a child, and knew that this national teacher had great abilities, but he never thought that he could still soar through the clouds.
