Pinggu County.

After Urcha fled here, he reorganized his troops, and for the first time, he carried out a breakthrough battle, but he was directly pressed back by Su Yi.

It is conceivable that the remnants of the ghost army are at the end of their rope, how can the allies give him a chance.

This battle did not last long, and after losing some men and horses, seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Urcha hurriedly retreated.

Right now, it's almost noon.

After a night of fierce fighting, both sides were actually sleepy and tired, plus hungry.

In the hall of the county government, Urcha was frowning and pacing back and forth.

After a moment, he looked at the adjutant general and said, "How many soldiers do I still have in my department?" ”

"This ......" the deputy general hesitated: "After the inspection, there are still ...... There are less than forty thousand. ”

"What!?" When Urcha heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper: "What about the materials in the city?" How many more days can you last? ”

The adjutant swallowed his saliva again and said cautiously: "No...... Less than half a month. ”

"What about the man!?"

"That'...... Those slaves, who had been in rebellion before, and after the city was destroyed, they all fled......"

"Damn!" Hearing this, Urcha couldn't hold back any longer, clenched his fist, and slammed it on the table.

With a bang, all the generals below lowered their heads.

After taking a deep breath, he looked around, and saw that everyone was depressed, as if they had no desire to fight, and they were in a slump, so he slowed down his voice and said: "Don't worry, we still have 40,000 warriors, and it will not be a problem to hold on to the city, and His Majesty the King has replied, and reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”

When he said this, he was completely cheering up, in fact, where did the ghost king have a letter coming, but he still had hope in his heart.

And what he didn't know was that even if the Ghost King understood the situation here, I am afraid that there would be no reinforcements!

Because they have been surrounded in Pinggu, if they really want support, I am afraid that they will die as many as they come! The other party can set up many ambushes on the path that your reinforcements must pass.

However, when the generals heard him say this, they were all relieved, and then they raised their heads one after another, and someone immediately said: "Although the coalition forces are numerous, it is not so easy to fight this city!" ”

"That's right! Even if we wait until the end, we will make the enemy pay a terrible price! ”

"Good! Let's stick to Pinggu! Waiting for reinforcements! Urcha said in a loud voice.

He wanted to defend here, thinking that after the coalition army rested, it would attack immediately, but where would Xiao Yuan do this.

And when he asked if there were any people in the city, he was actually asking if there was food, and if there were people, they could be cooked and killed to fill the army's rations.

Without a word, the Allies did not launch any attack.

The next morning, the Allied camp.

"What for!?"

A sentry shouted loudly, and immediately attracted a large number of patrol soldiers, with halberds at the end.

In front of him, there was a large group of homeless people, dressed in rags, and when they saw this, they all immediately knelt down, and some of them cried and said:

"The military master spares his life, the military master spares his life......"

"We are all citizens of Pinggu County, chased and killed by the ghost army, fleeing everywhere, and have not eaten for two days......"

"Please have mercy on the military master, and have mercy on us......"

The people were afraid of the ghost army, but they also knew that the allies had come to expel foreign enemies, and now they had fled here to seek refuge, which was also a normal situation.

After hearing this, the Allied soldiers all looked at each other, and then someone scolded: "Military important places, idle people, etc., are not allowed to enter!" We will report this matter to the superiors, and you must not trespass, otherwise the military law will do it! ”

"Yes, yes......" The people responded again and again, where did they really dare to break into the barracks, and they gathered on the periphery, looking forward to it.

Not long after, the news reached the big tent of the Chinese army.

At this time, the monarchs of the three kingdoms, as well as the senior generals of various ministries, were still discussing the army.

Xuanshuai Yanqi pointed to the sand table and said: "Three princes, please look, at present, my allied army is trapping Pinggu with 200,000 troops, and to recover Lianzhou, from us, there are many avenues to choose from." ”

"In the opinion of the last general, you can take the Jialan Road, pass Zao County and other places, and enter Lianzhou, this route, not only is the distance closer, and there is no treacherous mountains and rivers to obstruct it, and the avenue is flat, which is more convenient for the escort of our army's grain and grass baggage, and logistics supplies."

When the army fights, the supply line is the top priority, otherwise, there would not be those cases of grabbing the main transportation routes.

When the three kings heard this, they all nodded slowly.

Xiao Yuan also agreed, and then said: "According to General Yanqi's marching route, at the same time, there must be no relaxation in the siege of Urcha, this ghost army must be trapped to death, whether they surrender or not, if there is a messenger, there is no need to meet them." ”

As he said this, a soldier also walked in quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, a large number of displaced people have been found outside the camp and seek refuge from our army. ”

"What?" Xiao Yuan frowned, somewhat surprised.

But soon, another soldier ran in: "Your lord, five miles away from the camp, a large number of displaced people have been found......"

Immediately after that, the same debriefing.

At this moment, everyone in the tent couldn't help but look at each other.

Su Yi was the first to speak: "These homeless people are all people from Pinggu County, and in the opinion of the last general, they don't need to pay attention to it at all. ”

"What do you mean?" King Xuan looked at him with a frown.

Su Yi explained: "Our army is out to fight, and the barracks are not a place to take in refugees. ”

"But these people, all of whom are Chinese people, were slaughtered by the ghost clan, most of them were destroyed, and now Pinggu is occupied by Urcha, they are homeless, if they don't care, wouldn't they starve to death in the wilderness. Moreover, the Allied forces came to fight this war to expel foreign enemies, and if it spread, how would the world view it? "Xuan Wang said.

There is some truth in what she said.

Su Yi was about to argue, but Jia You stood up and said with a smile: "Actually, this small matter is not difficult to solve, and there is a way to do both." ”

"Oh?" Everyone couldn't help but look at him.

Jia You continued: "The Allied forces are now considered to be long-distance battles, the supply lines are extremely long, and they lack nothing, the only thing they lack is the escort of the people. ”

"Huandi many counties, slaughtered by the ghost clan, every time in the matter of transportation, it is quite difficult to recruit nearby people, and now, with this group of people, isn't it just right to serve as a transport team for our army?"

A large army, the people are indispensable.

After listening to what he said, everyone was empowered.

Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. ”

The Spirit King also said: "Hehe, Mr. Jia is really quick-witted." ”

"Where, Your Highness has a good reputation." Jia You hurriedly gave a polite salute.

"I think, just do what Mr. Jia says." King Xuan also immediately gave his opinion.

During the war years, I don't know how many people died in the wilderness, these homeless people, who had nowhere to stay and were homeless, can now serve as a transport team for the Allied forces, not only can they eat enough every day, but they no longer have to worry about the ghost army, how can they not be willing!
