Guan Duo was shocked when he heard this: "Three days? If the reinforcements brought by Wen Qianhu from Xuzhou did not arrive three days later, wouldn't the city immediately run out of food? ”

This time, Pan Cheng, who often laughed, also frowned, and looked at Liu Fudao suspiciously: "Marshal, Mr. Guan's worries are not unreasonable!" I'm afraid three days is not enough to wait for Mao Qianhu and their reinforcements. ”

Tie Niu also became urgent: "Otherwise, I will take some elite men out of the city overnight to pick up Mao Qianhu and them?" ”

Different from the anxious appearance of the three of them, Liu Futong was as calm as ever: "Mao Qianhu and they came from Xuzhou on a rapid march, and along the way, they had to avoid encountering the local army of the Yuan soldiers, and they would never bring too much grain, grass, baggage and other things, which I have confirmed with Wen Qianhu." ”

"What?"

"How so!"

"So what to do?"

Guan Duo, Pan Cheng, and Li Tieniu were all dumbfounded, the three of them had accumulated rich combat experience in recent years, and even the importance of grain and grass supplies for an army.

What's more, in the current situation, our own side is at an absolute disadvantage, and a sudden food cut will be a fatal blow to the morale of the army.

Guan Duo, who was temporarily in charge of the supply in the city, became extremely serious: "Marshal, the grain officer has been panicking before, and it was I who gave the military order to barely stop their mouths, this time if the food is cut off, I am afraid that it will ......"

"I'm afraid that if we don't wait for the Yuan soldiers to attack at that time, the defenders in our city will already be in chaos......" Pan Cheng said the last sentence for Guan Duo.

Tie Niu was a little different from the two, and after a short panic, he began to stare at the calm Liu Futong and fell silent.

He didn't know why Liu Futong arranged it like this, but he knew Wen Xuan's way of doing things very well.

Since Wen Xuan led most of Xuzhou's men and horses to support, and did not hesitate to mobilize Night Shadow, it proved that he was sure of victory in this battle, otherwise no matter what kind of orders the Holy Maiden and Liu Futong gave him, he would not have come to Runing to die.

At present, there is no way to retreat, no food and grass, and the 30,000 reinforcements led by Mao Gui are all recruits who have hardly been baptized on the battlefield......

Then if the soldiers and civilians in Runing City want to save their lives, there is only one way to go - a decisive battle!

Only a hearty victory can restore the morale of the Red Turban Army, lift the siege of Runing, and even blow the horn of a counteroffensive!

"Is the marshal planning to fight the thieves in three days?" Tie Niu, who saw the essence of this battle, asked seriously.

"A decisive battle?"

Guan Duo and Pan Cheng are also capable people who lead troops, and after being reminded by Tie Niu like this, the two of them immediately came to their senses, and their confused faces turned into ecstasy.

"I've had enough of this breath!"

"Yes! It's finally time for this day! ”

The belligerent Guan Duo became excited: "Marshal, hurry up and give the order!" What do I need to do to prepare? But you want to shut up the mouths of those grain officers under me? Don't worry, if any of them dare to tell the news of the food shortage, I will cut off their heads immediately! ”

Liu Futong stroked his beard and chuckled: "If those grain officials don't spread the news of our food shortage, how can the Yuan soldiers outside the city take the initiative to attack?" ”

Guan Duo's eyes lit up: "What do you mean...... Let them deliberately spread the news out of town? ”

"It's not that simple." Liu Futong looked at Guan Duo and Pan Cheng, who had always cooperated tacitly, and said: "Driving away the rabble, all in the first step of the plan to break the enemy is to let Brother Mu infiltrate the enemy camp. As for this second step, you two need to put on a good show......"

The two were stunned when they heard this, knowing that Liu Futong was entrusting them with a heavy responsibility, so they knelt down on one knee without hesitation to receive the order.

"Guan Mou listens to orders!"

"But according to the marshal's orders, Pan will do his best!"

Seeing this, Tie Niu also made the same move: "I, Tie Niu, am also willing to go to the soup for the righteous army!" ”

Liu Futong smiled with satisfaction, stretched out his hands to help the three of them up, and then told the rest of the plan overnight......

At the same time, in the Yuan military camp outside the city.

The sloppy man who was greedy for merit had been beaten to death by the burly soldiers under the Yuan soldiers Baihu, and Mu Chong and other 20 people were also secretly distributed by Baihu with simple armor and blades and then stuffed into the different formations under his command.

Mu Chong was led to a military tent by a veteran without being told anything, and there were six yuan soldiers lying in it, who were shaking the dice in a circle and gambling money.

The person who was shaking the dice was a one-eyed dragon, his blind right eye was covered with a black cloth, and he was sitting cross-legged in the position inside, judging from his demeanor and tone, he was obviously the leader of them, he saw Mu Chong holding the armor blade in his hand and laughed, put down the dice cup and said: "Hey, there is another ghost for the dead!" ”

The veteran who brought Mu Chong in glared at him: "It's not enough to be blind in one eye!" Don't want the tongue anymore? ”

The one-eyed ** hehe said twice: "Don't worry, brother, this kid will count his fate when it is my turn, and he will not let him lose his life immediately." ”

The veteran snorted lightly, then took out a few pieces of broken silver from his bosom and threw them on the cloth for their gambling money, and said contemptuously: "The reward of the hundred households is enough to block your mouth." ”

The veteran turned around and left the military tent after saying that, and he didn't say a word to Mu Chong during the whole process.

After the veteran left, One-Eye grabbed the broken silver on the cloth and threw it twice, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Baihu is not so stingy when he shoots, and this old thing who spreads the word doesn't know how much he has taken advantage of us privately!" ”

The person next to One-Eye asked suspiciously, "Then why don't you reason with him?" ”

"Oh, let him be greedy for something good so that he can do this business for us, otherwise won't he even be able to get this silver?" One-eyed said as he drew everyone's eyes to Mu Chong.

Mu Chong touched his nose pretending to be stupid, and said cautiously: "The little one is new, and I have to trouble a few military masters to take care of it." ”

Looking at Mu Chong's one-eyed smile: "It's a handsome boy who is articulate, how can he be a janitor in a big family, why can't he think so much about running to join the army?" ”

Mu Chong knew that there would be such an interrogation, and he had already prepared words in his heart to answer: "The military master said that he laughed, the little one has never been out of the house in his life, this time it was because the township was flooded that he had to run out to beg for food, and he didn't even know where the city gate of the capital was opened, how could he go to the place where such nobles stayed to beg for food?" ”

Mu Chong's pleasing answer caused everyone in the tent to laugh: "I bet this clever kid will survive a month!" ”

"Maybe this kid is really blessed with a great life, and he can live until we capture the city and return to the dynasty!"

One-eyed squinted again and pointed to the dice cup: "Boy, can you play?" Playing two together? ”
