Chapter 218: Food is exhausted
Mingshan official road.
Qiancang and the others are already dying, and there is not a shortage of 10,000 people under them, but they have been out of food for two days, and they should have run out of food a long time ago.
None of the 10,000 soldiers were standing guard on the mountainside, and they all lay on the ground and waited for death; Two days ago, Min Ling also tried to send food up, but Yu Yuan's army had been on guard, and he was helpless.
The stalemate has reached now, Qiancang has tried his best, and he is also very satisfied, but to say that he is starving to death like this, he is really unwilling.
Qiancang was lying on a big stone basking in the sun, and suddenly, it was noisy at the bottom of the mountain, and a soldier came running happily: "General, General Min Ling has brought us food." ”
"What, Min Ling is here." Qiancang's body was shocked, and a carp stood up.
From a distance, the soldiers of Minling at the foot of the mountain were carrying the grain up, and Minling was also laughing and running.
The food was constantly carried up the mountain, and Min Ling came over: "General Qian, I am fortunate to be sorry for you." ”
"You came at a better time." Qiancang was happy, and frowned again: "What about Yu Yuan, that guy didn't stop you anymore?" ”
Min Ling laughed and said: "That old boy, I withdrew this morning, leaving only an empty camp to bluff there, if someone hadn't come to report, I wouldn't have known." ”
Qiancang was both surprised and delighted, how could he suddenly withdraw his troops?
"God help me, if he is besieged for one more day, I will be starved to death even if I am not killed by him."
Qiancang took two steps forward, looked at the boundless military camp in the distance, and said, "This Yu Yuan is also in vain, if it were me, I would never let go of such a good opportunity." ”
Min Ling said: "Maybe the emperor ordered him to withdraw." ”
Qiancang said: "Then it shouldn't be withdrawn, it will be outside." The king's fate is not affected! Victory is just around the corner, how can you give up halfway? ”
The two talked for a long time, and Min Ling suggested that Qiancang evacuate because Yu Yuan had already left. It was useless to stay here, but Qiancang insisted on staying here and didn't go anywhere, and soon, Min Ling was helpless. After delivering the grain, he retreated to the west of the official road.
................
A few days later, the Western Capital.
Wang Xu was very idle during this time, and accompanied Zhang Xue in Accord every day; Now Ma Lan only calls for war outside the city every day, and does not attack the city, which does not pose any threat to the western capital, so Wang Xu ordered that no one is allowed to fight.
Wang Xu also knew the news that Ma Lan was building siege equipment, which made Wang Xu even more relieved, and he had to wait for the siege equipment to be built. It's going to take half a month, so let's talk about it then.
Ye Xiong came to Accord and said happily: "Lord, Yu Yuan's 300,000 army has gone north to attack Luyang, and now our enemy is only 150,000 people left in Ma Lan. ”
"Really?" Wang Xu said happily.
This is really a great joy, a few days ago, there was already a war report, saying that Lu Yang fought well in Beijun, even the prince of Beijun was overturned, and lost the royal city, and now Lu Yang has more than 100,000 troops in his hands. Grain and grass are abundant, and strength has increased greatly. If it goes on like this, with Lu Yang's means, he will definitely not lose in a short time. This bought him a lot of time, which could help him hold Yu Yuan back, and indirectly supported his plan to retreat to Hexi County.
Ye Xiong nodded and said, "Now that Yu Yuan has withdrawn from Languan, it is useless for Qiancang and Min Ling to stay there, can we ask them to withdraw to the Western Capital." After all, they didn't have much food and grass with them. ”
Wang Xu said: "Yes, let them be a teacher." ”
Ye Xiong took the order to leave.
As soon as Ye Xiong left, a Yulin army rushed to report: "Lord, the dog opened the city gate without permission and went to battle with the enemy." ”
"What, take me there." Wang Xu was shocked.
Saying goodbye to Zhang Xue, Wang Xu followed Yulinjun all the way to the outer city in the north.
At this time, on the city wall, all the generals laughed, the war drums resounded throughout the battlefield, all the soldiers were shouting loudly, Wang Xu came to Li Zhi and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Zhi said with a smile: "Lord, the dog is too brave, now he has killed three generals of Ma Lan in a row, and he is challenging under the city, the enemy army is all scared stupid, and the angry Ma Lan yelled in front of the battle." ”
Zhang Meng was also excited, standing aside and stroking his palms and laughing, the enemy couldn't even handle a twelve-year-old doll, it was really embarrassing.
Wang Xu looked at the city, the dog was majestic, and he was shouting at the enemy formation.
"Listen to the people on the other side, even I can't beat it, you still dare to attack the Western Capital, go back." Dogan shouted. His voice sounded too tender, which made the soldiers in the city laugh uncontrollably, and for a while, the morale was unprecedentedly high, and even a twelve-year-old doll was not afraid of the imperial army, so what else did everyone have to fear.
Ma Lan really can't accept this fact, the three generals under his command are all good in martial arts, but in the hands of that little doll, he can't even pass three moves, especially the last one, he was blown out of the head, it's really shocking, the other party is just a twelve-year-old little doll.
Originally, the morale of the army was still very high during this time, but now that it's like this, there is still bullshit's morale, and even a doll can't be beaten, so how can you attack the Western Capital.
Zhang Kan said: "General, we must kill that little doll, otherwise our soldiers are all afraid of the enemy, how will we attack the city next?" ”
The congregation will second.
Ma Lan said, "Why don't you go?" ”
Zhang Kan subconsciously shrank his head, if he could defeat the enemy, he would have rushed out a long time ago, can he wait until now; He is very clear about his strength, and he will definitely not be able to beat the dog, there is no doubt about this, he has just looked at it carefully, and there are very few people who can take the hammer with the power of the dog's sledgehammer.
Zhang Kan waved his hand awkwardly: "General, the last general has been out of battle for a long time, I'm afraid..." ”
"Forget it, don't talk about it." Ma Lan waved his hand and said, "Order the withdrawal of the army, and come back when our siege equipment is repaired, and don't come back to challenge during this time." ”
Ma Lan was about to turn the horse's head, when suddenly, a lightning bolt flashed in the cloudy sky, followed by "Click! A thunderclap rang out.
It's spring, and it's thundering, strange thing; As the saying goes, when thunder strikes in spring, there are thieves everywhere; Malan sighed, hey... It seems that the number of thieves is about to increase again.
But at this moment, a war horse next to Ma Lan suddenly ran out and came directly to the front of the formation, Ma Lan saw it, and immediately became happy, the person who came out of the battle was his deputy general Zheng Xiang, Zheng Xiang is good at martial arts, has followed Ma Lan for many years, has always been his right-hand man, but this person is a little timid, so he is still only a deputy general, and there is no chance of promotion.
