Chapter Fifty-Nine: One Door and Seven Marshals

Huge fires and roars appeared from all directions, illuminating the night sky before dawn and waking the Kasha garrison from a deep sleep. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Hundreds of black shadows prostrated their bodies appeared, emerging from the sea of fire with fangs and claws, like frightened beasts, fleeing in all directions, quickly escaping into the boundless darkness.

In the spring, when the weather was dry and the grain and grass were flammable, the cellar soon became ablaze, and the surrounding garrisons looked at the churning and jumping fiery snakes and cowered.

"What the are you doing, hurry up and put out the fire!"

A garrison general scolded and ran from a distance, shouting at the soldiers who were standing still.

But when he saw the scene in front of him, he also became dumbfounded.

Smoke billowed and flames raged, reflecting half of the sky......

How can you save such a fire? Aren't you looking for death?

The defenders of the surrounding cities soon noticed the flames around them, and they closed their doors for fear that someone would take advantage of the chaos to sneak attack. In the panic, I didn't notice that these places where the fire started were all food hoarding points.

It wasn't until the sky was light, and the generals in charge of the investigation gathered up the situation in various places, that they found that the grain and grass in the entire 50 grain hoarding points had been burned, and they looked at the burning embers and the smoky, dejected faces of the defenders, and they were furious.

The general quickly returned to the camp and replied to the commander Xia Canglang, who listened to the report, his face was blue and he did not say a word.

He is the commander of the coalition army, and he is very aware of the importance of grain and grassland, so he hoards the grain and grass collected from various places separately, which is to prevent the other side from taking grain and grass.

Who would have thought that the strategy that he thought was foolproof would be seen through by others, and he lost most of the month's food stock.

Two problems were placed in front of Xia Canglang at once.

The first is the panic caused by the burning of grain and grass. Although Sun City is an isolated city, the resistance of the soldiers and civilians in the city is very heroic and tenacious, and according to the current progress of the attack, it will take at least two months for Kasha to be completely breached. However, the current grain and grass can only last for a month, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the morale of the army, and make it even more difficult for the army to attack the city.

Although this problem is urgent, it is not fatal to Kasha, as long as the food is cut back immediately, and then the grain and grass from other regions can be relieved.

The second question made Xia Canglang a little uneasy. Now, the armies of the various countries have captured the entire territory of Kasha, and the Moro reinforcements have been suppressed more than 100 miles away, who has such great energy that can find their own food hoarding point overnight, and burn it down.

Moreover, since the other party has this kind of strength, if the old trick is repeated and two more fires are burned, won't his 3 million army have to starve to death outside the city?

Thinking of this, Xia Canglang's face sank like water, and he commanded his subordinates:

"Ordered the cities to leave 30,000 men to garrison, and the rest of the men and horses to withdraw from the outside of the city, and then transfer the remaining grain from all over the country to the city and defend it strictly.

Then send a fast horse to deliver a letter to the western island and the Assyrian nations, so that they can raise a month's rations within 10 days!

At the same time, he also sent a message to the Temple, saying that we were disturbed by a powerful force and needed the support of a master. ”

"Yes!" The men retreated with the order.

Xia Canglang turned his head and said to a middle-aged general beside him:

"Jie Chen, you go and integrate the garrisons of each city, order them to be stationed 50 miles south of Sun City, and prepare for battle!"

"Big brother, you are suspicious of Moro!" Xia Jiechen's expression changed and asked in a low voice.

"It's not Moro, it's the man behind Moro." Xia Canglang said with a smile.

"Then why don't we just-" Xia Jiechen suddenly had a murderous look in his eyes.

"There's no need for ordinary soldiers to die." Xia Canglang waved his hand, swept away the previous haze, and looked at his third brother with a light smile, "These people will be left to the temple to deal with!" ”

Xia Juechen nodded and did not speak.

Xia Canglang looked at him, "What about Kongtong?" ”

"Who knows, I guess I took his gang of men to toss in the woods again!"

"He's your second brother, pay attention to your attitude."

Xia Jiechen rubbed his nose.

"Send someone to fetch him, I have something to tell him."

Xia Canglang, Xia Kongtong, and Xia Jiechen are all famous generals of the Kasha military, and they are the sons of Xia Ying's uncle. The eldest Xia Canglang is the commander of the big army, which can be called the pillar of the Kasha military, the second Xia Kongtong is a standard martial arts idiot, and is the commander of the Kasha elite legion - the Guards Legion.

Originally, under the command of Xia Canglang, the Kasha army slaughtered the Northern Yan Empire, and the Moro reinforcements were so shocked that they did not dare to move lightly, and they could end this war in 2 months.

After a series of orders were issued, the Kasha army immediately began to move and deploy, with an endless flow of people, vehicles and horses, and the siege operation was also launched at the same time.

After the indiscriminate bombardment of 6,000 trebuchets, the infantry phalanx began to slowly move forward, putting tremendous pressure on the city.

At this time, the situation in the city of the sun was not optimistic, the two outer walls were reduced to ruins, a large number of defensive equipment was destroyed, and it appeared very passive in the face of the enemy's trebuchet attack.

The grain and grass were burned, Xia Canglang also changed the offensive strategy, they had no intention of attacking the city at all, but used trebuchets to continuously destroy the walls of Sun City, continuing to compress the living space in the city, and the infantry originally used to attack the city, the only task was to carry the stones in the ruins to replenish the huge stone projectiles consumed.

Jiang Lang couldn't figure out why the other party's attack had become so crazy, so he had to organize groups of death squads to go out of the city to block Kasha's convoy, and in this way, the ruins outside the city turned out to be the place where the battle between the two sides was the fiercest, and soon a large number of corpses were piled up.

The next day, a million-strong army had been stationed fifty miles south of Sun City, and the company camp stretched for hundreds of miles, boundless, with flags in the camp covering the sun, and the head of the people was as dense as an ant colony, and the momentum was amazing.

-- Transporting grain and grass, blockading the Moro army, and forcing Beiyan out of the city to meet the battle, in the Moro military camp, Gong Liangyu heard the news from the living dead, and couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for the quick response of the Kasha commander. He already knows the other party's intentions, and he won't do better if he were himself. The only difference is that he has a perverted power in his own hands.

"In that case, let's add more fire and see what you do?" Gong Liangyu's small eyes revealed a hint of excitement. (To be continued.) )
