Fortunately, the careful Gao Shouxiao raised the problem of manipulating the hot balloon to move left and right, and Zhou Nan made improvements to the hot air balloon. So that the magic car in the mouth of the Eagle Guards really became a magic car - just imagine, if you can't control it freely, you can only blow it by the wind, how can it be called a god car?

  The god car plus the god ship that has been conceived, and then there are explosive arrows, rockets and smoke arrows to meet various needs, this three-dimensional strike method implemented by later generations, in the current period, whether it is the Jin army in the north or the Song army in the south, who can be their opponent?

  The air bombing of the Xianghe City grain depot is an example, he only needs to send a small team of men and horses, he can burn the enemy's grain and grass, and the rest of the time, as long as he continues to send troops to harass and prevent the enemy from transporting grain, at most ten days and a half months, the Xi army in Xianghe City will all run away from hunger.

  Want to attack the city of Guoyin where you are? With such a powerful weapon as explosive arrows in your hands, it's good not to bully them, who will come to the door to abuse them?

  It has been four days since the grain depot burned down, and Gao Yuan sent people day and night to investigate several roads from Xianghe to Jizhou, but except for the people, no people sent by Xianghe City to Jizhou passed. On the contrary, Yang Keshi's subordinates said from time to time that someone went to Anci City from Xianghe City. It seems that the defenders of Xianghe City and Yelu Aguzhe of Anci City belong to the same clan, so they only go to Anci City for help. It's just that Ancicheng didn't transport a vehicle to Xianghe City.

  It seems that you can endure it for a few days, so let's be hungry for a few more days! Zhou Nan muttered in his heart.

  Zhou Nan was hoping that the Xi army in Xianghe City would be hungry for a few more days, but Manu couldn't bear it anymore. In winter, there was already a shortage of food, and the grain of every household in the city was looted by them, not to mention the cattle and sheep, which had long been robbed and eaten by the soldiers. After being burned by the divine beasts of the Wansheng Army, they only ate the little surplus grain in their hands after only three days. After the grain was eaten, they began to look all over the city for chickens and ducks and other edible livestock, but they had already robbed it, where was there it?

  The doors of the common people in the city are all open, and they will not stop them if they go in and check it. A few days ago, he also sent someone to borrow grain from Agu Zhe, but Agu Zhe couldn't help him, saying that if he brought grain, he would be robbed by Wanshengjun halfway, but he cheapened Wanshengjun in vain.

  Only now did the horse slave realize the ruthlessness of Wanshengjun's plan to burn grain. Without food, it is a problem to stay, let alone defend the city. When his own people fainted from hunger, Wan Shengjun rushed over to pick up a Xianghe City for nothing. In this battle, the two armies have not met each other at all, and the victory or defeat will be decided.

  Aguzhe told him that if he couldn't do it, he would go to Jizhou in the north, or go to Ancicheng. Manu felt that now was the time, and while the soldiers still had the strength, they should run quickly. Since Agu Zhe has said it, what kind of military law are you afraid of?!

  But to the north of Jizhou is the great emperor Xiao Gan, and Manu really doesn't dare to think that if he escapes to Jizhou, Xiao Gan will spare himself. Of course, Manu didn't dare to give a big order that he could escape from Xianghe, but secretly asked his generals to take 3,000 soldiers to go north to Jizhou, and he took the remaining 4,000 soldiers to Ancicheng to find a place to eat.

  These soldiers had been hungry for two days, and when they heard that Manu was going to divide their troops into two routes, withdraw from Xianghe City, and go to Jizhou and Anci City, they were naturally happy. In less than half a day's effort, the two soldiers and horses set out on their own roads.

  Manu and his 4,000 men and horses also encountered several groups of sentries of the Wansheng Army along the way, but those sentries did not attack them, but only followed them from a distance, until Manu and they entered Anci City.

  Manu met Agu Zhe first, and told Agu Zhe about the experience after the grain depot was burned down, and said that another 3,000 men and horses were taken to Jizhou by his subordinates.

  Agu Zhe sighed and said, "It's not your fault that you lost Xianghe City, but I don't know if the Great Emperor can accommodate my three thousand soldiers." ”

  Manu said with relief, "General, the Mei tribe is also a member of the Xi tribe, and the emperor will not sit idly by and let his people starve." General, don't worry. It's just that I brought someone over, and the general has added another 4,000 mouths to eat here, I don't know what the general's plan is? ”

  Aguzhe smiled bitterly, "What can you do?" The Wansheng army forced you away from Xianghe City, will you watch Ancicheng stand still? It was also a matter of time before the attack on Anji Castle was made. ”

  Manu reminded, "General, since Ancicheng can't accommodate us, let's go south, go to Yongqing and Wuqing, and grab some grain and grass first, so that we can eat enough." ”

  Aguzhe sat and pointed to the southwest, and said, "The Wansheng army in Gu'an City is staring at here. As soon as our army leaves Anci City, the 10,000 victorious army will definitely attack this Anci City, and won't our retreat be cut off? Besides, the area to the south is full of rivers and ponds, and it is poor, where is there any food? ”

  Manu hurriedly said, "General, there is half a stone of rice in the south, and it is better than half a stone here!" As for whether there is a way to retreat or not, let's talk about it one day at a time! If the emperor doesn't help us, he can't starve himself, right? ”

  Agu Zhe sat silently, and Manu persuaded again: "General, our Mei only troops are all here, not for ourselves, but also for Mei only to think about it, if we starve to death and die in battle here, Mei only afraid that the other four will be divided, and the wealth and children of the clan will all belong to the other four clans." Isn't it also the Emperor's order that we go south to kill the past? Grabbing some food is also just far away from the Wansheng army, even if the emperor wants to order us to go into battle, it is beyond the reach of the whip. This is Mei's long-term plan! ”

  Agu Zhe was moved by Manu's words, and it was not a way to stay here, not to starve to death, but also to be dragged to death by the Wansheng army. The Great Emperor can't count on it anyway. He happened to take more than 10,000 horses and horses under his command to kill all the way south, and he could always survive.

  As for the Wansheng Army, the target is the Great Emperor, and it is the Jizhou City occupied by the Great Emperor, not his little Mei Division. He is far away from here, and Wan Shengjun will naturally go all out to deal with the Great Emperor. Since the emperor did not give food and grass, he did not blame himself for not being able to raise troops to save him.

  Thinking of this, Agu Zhe said to Manu, "It's up to you, straighten out the men and horses, first send 5,000 people to attack Yongqing City in the south, and the rest of the people will first guard Anci City to prevent the Wansheng army from sneaking up on the back road." When Yongqing City is defeated, they will all enter Yongqing and leave here. ”

  Seeing that Agu Zhe had decided, Manu stepped forward and said, "The general will allocate another thousand men and horses to me, and I will lead people to attack Yongqing first, open the way for the army, and take Yongqing City." ”

  Agu Zhe perked up and said, "Manu, let the soldiers eat enough, sleep well, tomorrow you will go to attack Yongqing and break a way for our Mei Division!" "I like Song Chungui, please collect x Song Chungui.
