"Yuan'er, Yuan'er...... You must come back safely! ”

In the end, the crown princess couldn't help crying, and shouted loudly at Mu Yuan's back who didn't look back, and didn't stop shouting until she couldn't see the other party's figure, and the prince on the side hugged her tightly, preventing her from sliding to the ground because she was crying hard, and although Mu Yuan didn't look back, his hand kept waving vigorously.

The Tiger Guards and others who went out with him also raised their arms and waved vigorously, which was a scene that had never been seen in every expedition before, and the appearance of such unity made many people and soldiers' families who came to see him off couldn't help crying.

Although the imperial court deliberately concealed some of the front-line situations, the people in the imperial capital still knew that the Xirong clan was menacing this time, and in this case, the behavior of the Tiger Guards and others had a feeling of "the strong man is gone and will not return......

Ji Shubai rode on a horse, and he didn't look back until he left the realm of the imperial capital, he should be the only one among their brothers who didn't have a family to send him off!

Of course, Wen Yan, who has long lost her family, does not count.

His father, Master Ji, and the rest of the family didn't say anything when they knew that he was going to go with the army, but before he left, he received a letter, which was something his father gave him to save his life.

A hundred miles away from the border city, there was a protégé of his father who was very proud, and if he really reached the last step, with this letter, the protégé would do him a favor by all means.

Of course, don't use this letter until you have to......

The letter came with a message from his father to him - return safely.

Thinking of this, Ji Shubai's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and Wen Yan handed him a handkerchief when he saw this.

"Tsk, you still carry a handkerchief with you!" Ji Shubai said with a disgusted face, but when the other party was about to take it away, he quickly reached out and took it.

"Hypocrisy!" Ye Zhi couldn't help but sneer when he saw this.

"Huh! I don't know who just held his father in front of the city gate! When Ji Shubai heard this, he angrily went back.

"I ......"

Thinking that his old-fashioned and very strict father actually came to see him off in person, and stuffed him with a bag of dry food before leaving, Ye Zhi's face couldn't help but blush, "You care about me?" ”

"Alright, stop arguing, let's go!" Guan Luan saw that the two of them were about to quarrel again, so he reluctantly opened his mouth to relieve the siege, while Ji Shubai and Ye Zhi wrinkled their noses at each other angrily, and when they saw that the speed in front of them was speeding up, they also drove their horses to follow.

They are bickering here, and the border city is in dire straits.

The battle officially began the day before the departure of the imperial capital's reinforcements.

Pu Ce asked Nangong Jue to take the old and weak women and children in the border city to transfer and some coordination and personnel arrangements in the rear, and they had already fought with the Xirong clan outside the city three times in just one day, each winning or losing, but the Zhenguo army had already injured 3,000 people.

This was still when the follow-up troops of the Xirong tribe had not arrived, and this also made the hearts of Pu Ce and other generals very heavy.

After all, from these few encounters, they can clearly feel that the other party is not trying their best, although each other is testing the range, but the Xijon side is obviously much more relaxed and leisurely than them.

Even, the Spirit Wolf King, who was supposed to take the lead, didn't even show his face, and on their side, except for the one time when Pu Ce led his troops to attack, the remaining two battles were lost!

This made Ning Guohua, who was responsible for leading the troops out of the station, very unhappy in his heart, and just wanted to hurry up and make meritorious service and save his status and image in the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhenguo Army!

When it was a truce again, Park Cha hurried to seize the time to discuss the next matter with the others in the tent.

On the first day of the war, they transferred the place of operation from Pufu to the barracks, and during this time, Pufu was transformed into a medical treatment place for the wounded, and on the second day, Nangong Jue was completely taken over.

In addition to being responsible for carrying out the orders of the old and weak women and children distributed by Park Ce to transfer the city, she also recruited some people who were willing to help take care of the wounded soldiers, and as for the battlefield, it was up to Park Ce and others to make decisions.

“…… At present, the death toll is 220, and 1,129 are wounded, of whom 1,003 are lightly injured and another 126 are moderately or seriously injured.

The news from Dijing just now came that reinforcements would not arrive until at least half a month later. ”

Xu Lingjiao reported the situation to Pu Ce, the expression on his face was very solemn, judging from their current strength and the situation of fighting with the Xirong clan, let alone half a month, I am afraid that it will be difficult to hold on for even five days.

"How's the grain storage in the city?"

What Park Ce was most concerned about was not when the reinforcements would come, but how long their food would allow them to hold on, which also made the faces of those present look very ugly.

Originally, because winter was about to begin, there would be a large amount of grain in the city here, and at least for three months, there would be no fear of lack of food and clothing.

But after the Xirong tribe came, they inspected all the granaries where the grain was stored, only to find that the grain officer in charge of the grain actually filled his own pockets and secretly resold most of the grain, and the person who sold it was actually the Xirong tribe, and when they found out, the grain had been transported out of the city!

And there was less than half of the grain left in the granary, which shocked them too much, and then, Pu Ce asked people to directly behead the grain official and raid the house, but only found less than 10,000 taels of silver tickets.

This is too much different from the lack of food in the granary, and in desperation, Pu Ce had to arrange for people to collect food from the people in the city, and at the same time asked Nangong Jue to arrange for the people in the city to evacuate the border city, so that some food could also be saved.

"It's all verified, and the rest of the food should only be enough to eat for less than half a month."

Speaking of this, Xu Lingjiao felt that it was too hasty for the general to cut off the head of the grain officer so happily!

"What? Half a month! So short? Wouldn't it be even difficult to get reinforcements from coming? Ning Guohua couldn't help but shout when he heard his words, and he was also very worried.

Xu was because he led his troops to defeat the battle twice, which made his temper very irritable and irritable, and he was too excited to hear this kind of important matter related to the livelihood of everyone in the army.

"I have already asked the Chao Jian army to go to the rich merchants in the city to collect grain again, if there is no food, let them donate some silver, and when the time comes, we will send people to the rear to buy grain, and buy as much as we can!" Park Chae looked at his excited appearance and whispered comfortingly.
