Chapter 1667 - The Unspeakable Truth
Zhuge Jin didn't pay attention to the Han army on horseback, and the Han cavalry outside the city also felt a little bored, turned around the war horse, turned around, and turned around.
The soldiers of the Jiangdong Army at the head of the city all looked at Zhuge Jin one by one, as if they wanted to get some answer from his face.
Entering the city, Zhuge Jin asked people to check the treasury.
As the Han army said, the grain and grass in the city can only support the soldiers for more than ten days at most.
The Han army has been besieging the city for several days, and I see that the grain and grass are about to be eaten.
In this situation, he absolutely could not tell the Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers in the city.
The enemy army is surrounded, and the soldiers can fight to the death, but once they know that there is no food and grass in the city, I am afraid that the army's heart will be shaken immediately, and Xincheng will not be able to defend without the Han army attacking the city.
Turning around and looking around at the Jiangdong Army on the city wall, Zhuge Jin shouted: "Did you hear the words of the enemy just now?" ”
As soon as Zhuge Jin's question came out, the hearts of all the Jiangdong Army soldiers were pinched, and they stared at Zhuge Jin one by one, holding their breath, and didn't dare to say more.
The soldiers were most worried about the lack of food and grass in the city.
Fighting with the Han army, although they were afraid, it did not make them completely desperate.
But if they were hungry and fighting with the Han army, the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army had no confidence in their hearts.
Looking around at the soldiers, seeing the worry on the faces of the nearby Jiangdong army, Zhuge Jin turned around and pointed out of the city, and shouted to them: "The enemy army is like this, but it wants to confuse the morale of the army. Xincheng is in the hands of our army, and the enemy army has not entered the city, how do they know that there is not much food and grass in the city? ”
Zhuge Jin's shouting made the soldiers of the Jiangdong Army seem to see some hope, and their eyes lit up one by one, looking at Zhuge Jin, looking forward to getting good news from him.
"Soldiers only defend the city, don't pay attention to the enemy!" didn't tell them whether there was grain and grass in the city, Zhuge Jin shouted: "This general will not want you to wait for hunger to fight!" ”
Although he did not directly say whether there was enough food and grass in the city, Zhuge Jin's shouting still gave the Jiangdong soldiers full confidence.
Looking at the soldiers, Zhuge Jin's heart was entangled.
There is not much grain and grass in the treasury, and it can only last for seven or eight days at most.
He made a promise to the soldiers that they would not be allowed to fight hungry, but after seven or eight days, there was no food and grass, and what would he use to feed the Jiangdong army in the city.
sent a soldier to the foot of the Xincheng city wall and shouted, but Zhuge Jun's mood was relaxed.
When the army went out to fight, the grain and grass brought were sufficient, and there was a steady stream of grain and grass sent behind, so the Han army did not have to worry about grain and grass at all, just need to move forward.
The cavalry who returned from the city of Xincheng reported Zhuge Jin's reaction to Zhuge Jun, Zhuge Jun smiled slightly, and said to the generals on the side: "There is really not much grain and grass in the city, our army does not need to attack the city, only need to trap the city to death, and see how my brother responds!" ”
All the generals responded, although they didn't quite understand in their hearts, why Zhuge Jun was sure that there was no food and grass in the city, but they still responded one after another.
The Han army did not attack the city, Zhuge Jun was indifferent in his heart, at most he delayed for a few days to march eastward, but Zhuge Jin, who defended the city, was completely in a desperate situation, the war did not start, but the grain and grass in the city were still consumed, once the grain and grass were exhausted, Xincheng would be self-defeating!
