After observing for a moment, Bai Liyan continued the unfinished content and said:

"Jiang Jie, how many days can our army's food and grass last?"

"At present, there are more than 110,000 boys, girls and children, and they can last for about 73 days."

"How many days can Tanaka last?"

"Excluding our army's rations, the grain can still hold out for about sixty-five days."

The grain and grass in the valley can supply 300,000 people to support until the end of April, about 50 days, some Dingkou were killed before and after, and now another 100,000 people have gone out of the mountains, and the remaining more than 200,000 people can support more than ten days, so as to free up enough time for the army to maneuver, and there is no need to rush back to Cupigong to transport grain.

Agreeing on a plan with the generals, Bailiyan readjusted the existing deployment.

The coalition forces and the new subordinate army were transferred to the four battalions in the front and back, and the new annexes and their dependents who had just been collected were placed between the four battalions for training and drill, so as to prevent changes. At the same time, Bai He, Tian Peng's new subordinate army and Sikong Nan, Fang Liang's new battalion were each a part of the horses, and a number of veterans of each army were transferred to cooperate with Yuke and a number of veterans of each army, responsible for the training of the new annexed people.

Baili Yan expects that the people of Jin Xuedi have suffered repeated losses, and have lost the confidence to launch a frontal attack when they are evenly matched. Most of them had to organize a civilian army from the city of Calezer, or they would wait for reinforcements to arrive, so as to bully the few.

The coalition forces have black powder and crossbow soldiers, and they will never dare to rashly launch an attack without superior strength.

In a short period of time, at least for three or five days, the Jinxuedi people will not attack the camp. But within four or five days, the Gongliang army would plunder and plunder the population in Posong Province without any scruples, and now that I think about it, Bailiyan is more and more impressed by Gongliangwen.

In the early years, the Gongliang clan fought against the Xian State, and it was in this way that they plundered the land and population of the Xian State, and took hundreds of thousands of people captive at one time. Now, nearly a hundred years have passed, and Gongliangwen still has the ancestral secret of ballast bottom, which makes people feel palpitations when they think about it.

After three days of confrontation under the city, the Jinxuedi people in the city began to move, as expected, the cavalry who entered the city quickly organized the young and middle-aged people in the city to defend the city to prepare for battle, and the number of troops in the city increased from more than 2,000 people in three days to 30,000, many of whom were refugees from the villages outside the city who fled into the city.

But in Bai Liyan's view, these hastily organized people's armies are far inferior to the people of the Central Plains who have been enslaved and oppressed in terms of personal skills and morale.

The people of the Central Plains have always suppressed anger and hatred in their hearts, and as long as they can organize and unite people's hearts, their will to fight and their killing intent are extremely certain.

Fang Liang's new battalion is a team pulled up by Baili Yan with the veterans of the Xian Army, and it is not lost to the coalition army in terms of combat strength. After seeing blood in several battles outside Xishan, the miners of Bai He and Tian Peng and the new attached people's army are now all vicious wolves, and they are all fierce beasts when they are released.

The confrontation entered the fourth day, and the reinforcements of the Jin Xuedi people were nowhere to be seen, and Bailiyan estimated that Su Fangyi must have dragged the barbarian army outside the West Mountain, so that they could not leave an inch, and the more so, the more Bailiyan was worried about another matter.

At the end of March and the beginning of April every year, the supplementary soldiers of the Jin Xuedi people who go to the front line will go to Qianyue Mountain through the central route of Posong Province.

While thinking about it, Jiang Jie sent today's lunch into the account, a large piece of boiled beef and two light cakes.

"My lord, it's time to eat."

"Can all the soldiers eat meat?"

As soon as Bai Liyan's voice fell, Jiang Jie said with a hippie smile:

"My lord, don't you know, this Jin Xuedi people are so rich, every family has cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and you can catch a cow in the field, only the livestock captured by the new annexes before must be thousands, and now it is not every day to kill pigs and sheep."

"Oh, I forgot about it. Our Central Plains has been fighting for many years, the number of people has decreased sharply, agriculture is abandoned, domestic animals are very precious, and it is not easy to eat a meal of meat. It's rare to be so generous, but our army is not used to it. ”

"But no, the soldiers are all from poor people, and some princes and soldiers can't eat a decent meal of meat for a month and a half, and now it's delicious and delicious, and it's better to be a full ghost than to die of grievance."

"yes...... When I think about it, the people of the Central Plains can wait for poverty, but the Jinxuedi people are so rich, but they still want to rob and enslave us, such greedy people are really despicable. ”

Reaching out and taking a piece of light cake, Bai Liyan suddenly felt a little thick, and when he looked at it, it was indeed much smaller than the diameter of the Central Plains light cake, but it was thicker, he frowned and asked:

"Why is this bread so thick?"

"Oh, that's right, my lord, when I was in the valley, most of the cauldrons used by our army were cauldrons in the Central Plains, or round cauldrons after craftsmen beat them. Our army came all the way, only bringing dry food, not pots and pans, so they could only loot the Jinxuedi people's pots and stoves for temporary use. Their pots and stoves are all large-mouthed flat-bottomed, and it is very inconvenient for the pancakes of our army to be spread on the pancakes, so they can only spread the thick cakes of the Jinxuedi people. ”

"I see." Bailiyan ate the light cake, it was really hard to rest her teeth, and her chewing teeth were sour. At this time, he was busy asking: "Jiang Jie, how big is the pan of pancakes?" ”

"It's about that big!" Jiang Jie gestured twice with his hand and said, "If you don't talk about it, you may have more than that." ”

When Bailiyan heard the news, her eyes lit up and stood up:

"Great, quick, come with me to the camp!"

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

Bai Liyan was overjoyed and laughed:

"Hehaha, there's a plan! Let's go, go to camp. ”

Walking to the camp, all the armies and battalions were queuing up to put their meals, and they were all eating with relish. Bailiyan inspected all the pans of Jin Xuedi on the spot, some were large and some were small, the small ones were more than one foot, the big ones were more than two feet, and there were even three feet of large pans.

"My lord, what are you ......?" Jiang Jie asked puzzled.

"Go, let the guy make a flatbread from this two-foot iron pot, three inches thick and two feet in diameter."

Jiang Jie was taken aback when he heard the news:

"My lord, who eats such a big cake?"

"Just do it, and you'll know when you're young. Remember, let the guy bake the bread, but don't burn it. ”

"Oh......"

Two moments of the past, golden and attractive fragrant flatbread is made, more than three inches thick, two feet in diameter. That's right, this is the legendary pot helmet.

The Qin army swept the six-in-one to unify China, and the Qin army's armor was insufficient, that is, it used the pot helmet as the armor, walking while eating, eating and killing, which was not only compressed dry food, but also war armor, which could not only prevent arrows, but also block knives and guns, which was extremely convenient

"My lord, this flatbread is enough for several people."

Bai Liyan smiled and shook her head:

"You'll know right away. Go, invite Lu Gao, Sikong Nan, Bai He, Fang Liang, Tian Peng, and military attachés above the rank of captain to our Chinese army. ”

"Yes!"

Bailiyan set up an arrow target in the camp, fixed the pot helmet on the arrow target, and when the generals came to the camp, they thought that there was a military operation, but when they saw Bailiyan to shoot arrows, everyone was puzzled.

"General, what does this mean?" Sikong Nan asked, Jiang Jie had already told him about the flatbread on the way here, and Sikong Nan was very puzzled.

Bai Liyan said quietly:

"Brother Sikong, can you see the thirty steps ahead?"

"I see, the last general is just puzzled, can the general make it clear."

"Wait, we'll see right away."

After speaking, Bailiyan ordered the archers to shoot arrows with bows.

The next moment, a cluster of arrows flew into the flatbread, plunging into it, and then two old soldiers, one with a gun and one with a sword, rushed to the flatbread and slashed and slashed.

When he was young, Baili Yan took the flatbread in his hand and turned over the body of the cake, as expected, not only did the arrow not pierce the flatbread, but the flatbread after three inches was only half-pierced, and the assassination of the sword and spear did not penetrate the flatbread, and the slash only left a shallow scratch and failed to cut it.

Show it to the generals, some people are puzzled, some people faintly understand some mysteries, and more people are amazed.

At this time, Bailiyan asked Sikong Nan again:

"Brother Sikong, can you see some doorways?"

"Shhh...... This sword, gun, sword and halberd are impenetrable, but it is indeed tenacious, is the general trying to ......?"

Seeing Sikong Nan's face shocked, Bai Liyan smiled:

"Exactly, put this big cake in a group of two, make four holes, pass through the thick rope, and tie it around the front and back of the body, enough to withstand the tough armor, and fall into the water and still float on the water, is it not a great advantage for my army!"

"Oh, that's a wonderful note!" Bai Hepai was amazed, and continued: "If this cake is a piece of hand, it will solve the urgent need of our army, and it is really convenient to be able to eat and walk and play while walking." ”

"What General Bai He said is good." Bai Liyan affirmed, and continued: "This cake is both armor and rations, one can be used for eight or nine days, and two are half a month, which is not only extremely convenient, but also very trouble-free. Therefore, the general decided that from today onwards, the battalion will work day and night to burn this kind of flatbread for the needs of our army. ”

The pot helmet pot helmet, which is the armor branded in the pot, in addition to its ugly and poor waterproofness, its effect is almost equivalent to that of the general iron armor, and the production of equipment is extremely convenient.

The pot helmet made Bai Liyan breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, at least giving him the confidence to fight a tough battle by surprise.

So in the afternoon of the same day, the whole army began the campaign of burning pot helmets, and by the evening thousands of people had been equipped. And I don't know who has a big brain, because the cauldron is used to make big cakes, the small pot can only be used to make small cakes, some people whimsically, with a small pot of one foot, the diameter of the pot is more than two inches thick, the middle of the dough blank is opened, and the middle of the baked pot helmet just allows the bun to pass through, with such a hairpin inserted, like a helmet, but the effect is definitely not good.

At noon on the fourth day of the confrontation, the situation changed subtly, and a cavalry of about 10,000 men came from the south and entered Caleser, and Bailiyan judged that most of them were the 20,000 soldiers and horses who were defeated by Gongliangwen.

And that night, the people in Calezer City were full of restlessness, the firelight illuminated half of the sky, and the noise in the city could be heard from more than two hundred paces, but it did not look like a sign of the movement of soldiers and horses, which was puzzling for a while. Until late at night, Jiang Jie suddenly came to the tent:

"My lord, Tan Malay reported, Jin Xuedi opened the West Gate and ran away!"

Bailiyan was stunned when she heard the news, and the next moment she thought that most of the people fled for their lives:

"But the people of the city have fled?"

"It should be, they came out of the west gate, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops, if they continue to flee, there must be more than 100,000."

"In this way, Gongliangwen must have swept the people of the Central Plains, the number of men is less than 100,000, and the total number of women must be 1780,000."

"How can you see it?" Jiang Jie asked.

"You think, this is to pursue Gong Liangwen's auxiliary cavalry 20,000 people, and when he returns, there are less than 10,000 left, Gong Liangwen will never kill more than 10,000 of them in a battle, it must be fighting while walking, drawing new people who can fight and train, most of them have fought two or three battles, and the momentum is strong, so that the remaining cavalry of less than 10,000 people is difficult to parry, and has to flee back for help.

The people of Jin Xuedi must be worried that Gongliangwen would come to join forces and then attack the city, and Calezer evacuated the people to prepare for the aftermath. ”

Bailiyan judged that Gongliangwen would go for eight or nine days, let alone five or six hundred miles, and there must be more than a dozen aboriginal villages along the way, with a small population of four or five thousand, and a large number of nearly 10,000 people, even if there are no 178,000 people, 1560,000 people are not a small number.

But it is still unknown how Gongliangwen dragged so many people, could run so far, and could fight back. After all, more than 100,000 people are ordinary people in the rabble, not hundreds of thousands of volunteers.

"Go, gather the generals to come and discuss it!"

"Yes!"
