More than ten days later, the front-line barracks.

At the suggestion of Shangguan Wenruo, at this time, Xiao Yuan had already besieged the city with a large army, blocked all the main roads, and locked Zhekang's 30,000 Xirong troops in Qingshan City.

He was also not afraid that reinforcements would arrive in Xirong, because he could just besiege the city and send reinforcements.

In this case, Zhekang naturally did not want to sit still, and also organized several breakthroughs, but he was always hit head-on.

Right now, Xiao Yuan's side has run out of food and grass, and the soldiers have been holding on for two or three days.

But in the winter, there were no such green and tender wild vegetables, and in order to fill their stomachs, the soldiers could only chew dry grass.

Under such difficult conditions, the Qin army did not have a single deserter, which shows the discipline and fighting spirit of this army.

On this day, the Chinese army has a big tent.

The news of grain and grass has not yet come, and the worries in the hearts of the generals are getting deeper and deeper, Zhang Dashan moved the corners of his mouth, and said tentatively: "My lord, the soldiers have been fighting for three days, and if they continue like this, it's not a way, or kill the horse, right?" ”

As soon as his words fell, Xiao Yuan said: "No, our army only has a thousand horsemen, if we kill horses to satisfy hunger, and defeat Zhekang at that time, there is no cavalry, how can we attack Xirong?" ”

"This ......" Zhang Dashan didn't know how to answer, and after a pause, he retreated.

Xiao Yuan groaned for a while, and then said, "Kill a horse, and divide it among the people of the Snow Clan." ”

The Snow Clan is only assisting him in the battle, and now he is not the Qin army, and there is no reason to accompany the Qin army here.

But Mu Lianying heard this, but said in a flat voice: "No need, my Snow Clan can endure this hardship." ”

"Oh? All right. Xiao Yuan glanced at her with a smile, and then looked at Zhao Mu and said, "How is the situation in your department?" ”

"Fortunately, the morale of the army has not been shaken too much, but there are a few complaints." Zhao Mu returned.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuan sighed slightly: "This is inevitable, the soldiers can't eat enough, and they have to fight bloodily, whoever puts this on will complain a few words." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Yi again: "What about your department?" ”

"It's pretty much the same."

"Yes." Xiao Yuan nodded, got up and said, "Go and see the soldiers below." ”

At noon that day, close to dinner time, Xiao Yuan was in a camp, surrounded by a group of soldiers.

In the past three days, he did not open any small stoves for himself, but shared weal and woe with the soldiers below, and even ordered generals at all levels to set an example and solidify the morale of the army.

The bark of the tree is hard to gnaw and the dead grass is hard to swallow, but you can't eat it.

At this time, Xiao Yuan was the same, after swallowing the withered grass with difficulty, he also began to cheer for the soldiers:

"This official knows that all the soldiers have complaints, but we can't retreat, if we retreat, even if we give Xirong a chance, they will trample on our homes again."

"We must completely defeat it in one battle in order to ensure the eternal peace of our Qin land!"

"This officer also believes that the soldiers can hold on to the end with me!"

His current prestige in the Qin army is undoubted, as soon as he arrived, he broke Xirong, led the Qin people, and recovered the lost territory, and the soldiers below almost regarded him as a god.

Now seeing that Lord Taishou is eating grass to satisfy his hunger, the mood of the Qin soldiers can be imagined.

Immediately, someone said: "What a noble status of Lord Taishou, but he eats grass like us, what do we have to complain about!" ”

"That's right! Fight Xijon to the end! Never die! ”

"Don't break Xirong, never take a step back!"

People were gossiping, and the military heart was suddenly condensed by Xiao Yuan.

Shangguan Wenruo, who was not far away, saw Xiao Yuan's relatives go to the barracks, undoubtedly to show the soldiers below, but his eyes were gloomy, and he muttered: "Great Lord Ming......"

It is conceivable that there are a few commanders of the whole army who can be like him, and I am afraid that under such circumstances, they would have secretly killed horses and opened a small stove a long time ago.

At this moment, a civil official hurriedly ran over, and after seeing Xiao Yuan, he was even more happy and said, "My lord! I have received the news that the follow-up grain, grass and ordnance of our army, Lord Liu has completed the preparations, and is on the way to escort at this time, and it will arrive in less than three days......"

His tone was excited, and he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but stand up when he heard this, and then said faintly: "I, Qin Jun, don't worry about it......"

When the other soldiers heard this, they also showed joy on their faces, and then shouted one after another: "Great! The grain and grass have arrived! Our army's food and grass are almost here! ”

Liu Yuzhi sat in the rear, transporting grain, grass and ordnance, and completely relieved Xiao Yuan's worries.

The other side.

Inside Aoyama Castle.

The army besieged the city, Zhekang now regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, he should have withdrawn directly in the first place, and should not have held on to Qingshan, so that the war was stalemate, and the Qin army did not retreat for a long time.

In the hall of the county government, a group of Xirong generals gathered, and Zhekang paced back and forth above.

His brows were furrowed, his face was full of worry, and seeing this, a Xijon general couldn't help but come out and said, "General." ”

He wanted to say something, but Zhekang interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I didn't expect that Xiao Yuan would be so determined not to break the green mountains and vow not to give up." ”

As he spoke, he said again: "But there is one point, the grain and grass of the Qin army should be insufficient. ”

Hearing this, the previous general of Na Xirong immediately said: "That's right, according to our army's report, the Qin army's camp has not seen smoke for three days. ”

"Shhh...... I haven't seen the smoke for three days......" Zhekang stopped and muttered: "Didn't the Qin army dare to eat grass and fight? ”

"Snort, I don't believe that Qin Jun has such perseverance!" The general pursed his lips disdainfully.

"And what do you think?" Zhekang couldn't help but ask.

"You can continue to break through from the northern front." The general said directly.

"No." How did he know that Zhekang directly denied him: "The Qin army has heavy troops on the northern front, which is the strongest place to defend, so it may be difficult to succeed in breaking through from this." ”

"That ......"

"Now outside Qingshan City, the Qin army has distributed heavy troops to guard various key roads, on the contrary, the location of their Chinese army's big tent is precisely the weakest place in defense."

"Oh? The general is saying......"

"Night attack on the Qin army's commandery!"

Zhekang said something in a trembling voice, and then looked around at everyone, fixing his eyes on Gule.

Seeing this, the latter came out and said, "The general wants me to go?" ”

"That's right." Zhekang also didn't ink, and said bluntly: "In this battle, only General Gule can break the enemy!" ”

He was raising Gule, and the latter was appreciative, and nodded on his face: "Okay, how many men does General Zhekang plan to give me?" ”

"Ten thousand!"

"What about Qin Jun's side?"

"There will never be more than 10,000, and they would never have thought that our army would raid their Chinese army tent, thinking that we would break through and only go in two directions to the northwest." Zhekang says:

"Therefore, the general's attack on the camp will definitely return with a great victory! Maybe Xiao Yuan can be captured, if so, the Qin army will lose its commander and will be defeated without a fight! ”

"Good! I'm going down to pick the Warriors! ”
