Chapter 372: The Empty Arsenal Liquidation Dedicated to Qiuning's reward
The army outside the city pressed the border, trapped but not attacked, and the people at the border pass had their own way of survival.
Everyone is busy turning the food at home into dry food, packing the gold and silver at home, cleaning up the secret room and cellar at home, and they are all busy preparing to hide at any time or run away at any time once the city is broken.
Xiao Yuqi followed behind his mother and the godmother with a big belly, and was also busy making dry food, and he didn't have time to eat dinner when he was busy.
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Wenye directly found Xiao Yuqi, who was nesting on the stove to help light the fire.
Until the person was carried back to the room by the stinky father, until he saw his father instructing his eldest brother and second brother to guard outside the door and outside the window, he was carried back to his boudoir by the stinky father all the way and was put on the kang, and the little alien was still wondering.
Looking at the stinky father who was sitting face to face with him, with an unusually serious expression, Xiao Yuqi muttered, is there any national major event that her father has to discuss with him?
is imaginative, is speculating wildly about the inexplicable behavior of the stinky father? Xiao Yuqi heard her father speak.
"Qi'er, Dad wants to ask you for something.".
"What's the matter, you say." , aliens are extraordinary.
"That's right, Qi'er, Dad wants to ask your ghost friends for a favor, we'll ......."
It turned out that Xiao Wenye found his baby girl for help at this moment, which was really a last resort.
Why?
Speaking of this, he couldn't be angry.
In the morning, they left from the General's Palace, although they did not elect the commander who finally led everyone to resist the enemy, but all the generals cooperated in the division of labor, and everyone cooperated with each other, and it was not impossible to work together to protect Huangmao City.
After reaching an agreement, Xiao Wenye went up to the city tower first, and gave a wave of chicken blood to the soldiers in the outer city and the soldiers defending the city.
Do you think, if you are going to go to war, you can't fight a blind man's battle that you are not sure of, right?
At the very least, you have to count how many people you have and how many armament resources you have, right?
To put it mildly, it's money that fights a war!
But what Xiao Wenye and several lieutenants never imagined was that the arsenal that had always been in the hands of Yao Chong's dog day was actually such a terrible scene in it.
In the entire Huangmao City, there are 5,000 soldiers in the main army, that is, 1,000 garrisons in the east, west, south and north, and 1,000 are the pro-army in Yao Chong's hands, plus nearly 20,000 people in the city, overall, it is estimated that there are less than 30,000 people in the city.
Now Yao rushed away, taking not only his henchmen, but also these thousand well-equipped pro-troops, and maybe more......
The treasury in front of Xiao Wenye and several other lieutenants was empty at the moment, showing his barrenness.
It should have been at this time to start preparing the wintering jackets for the soldiers, no;
What should have been prepared was enough to provide 5,000 soldiers with rice for a winter, but no;
It should be full of medicines, and it should be prepared with full supplies, and there is no medicine that is indispensable for half a thread;
The weapons that should have been ready for defensive operations are still not available;
Even the arrows that consume the most and the most are only a small amount of 10,000 in the armory;
Such a small ration, let alone defending the city, I am afraid that after a battle, it will not be enough.
Xiao Wenye was instantly dumbfounded when he saw such a shabby arsenal at that time, and several colleagues around him were instantly dumbfounded, and describing it as stunned and unbelievable was not enough to express their feelings at that time.
But is it time to take care of these things and hold them accountable?
Apparently not!
They can't even divulge half a point about such a bad situation.
Because they all know that once the true situation of the military depot is leaked out, the morale of the army, which has been appeased with great difficulty, and the morale that has only been raised, will collapse in an instant.
Several lieutenants immediately took their cronies and quickly closed the military depot with a heavy heart, but other things were trivial, the most important thing was food, weapons and medicine.
Once the war starts, if these military needs cannot be solved, no matter how determined they are to defend the city, they have no hope of victory.
As soon as they negotiated, they set their sights on the Taiping Warehouse in the city, which was a necessary grain warehouse in every state and county, in order to ensure the survival of the people in special periods, such as famine years.
It stands to reason that only when a catastrophe comes, the liquidation can be used, but at the moment, there is no way, and everyone has to make the idea of the liquidation.
However, what Xiao Wenye and others could no longer imagine was that the scene they encountered in the military depot just now, after they opened the Taiping without being hindered by the county government forces, everyone found that the Taiping controlled by the county government was actually fucking empty, and it was so empty that not even a mouse could be seen......
Angrily arresting the guards and interrogating them one by one, they learned that the grain in Taiping had already been sold privately by the county order before the national funeral, filling his own pockets.
In the words of Lao Ganggang himself, this year's wind and rain are smooth, the crops in the field are growing very well, and there will definitely be a bumper harvest, anyway, the autumn harvest is about to be, and after the autumn harvest, the grains will be returned to the warehouse, and the old grain in the Taiping warehouse will always have to be disposed of.
At that time, due to the pressure of the county order, and because they could get some benefits in private, everyone thought that it was the same reason, and they all turned a blind eye to the operation of the county order.
How could they know that seeing that the autumn harvest was imminent, Hu Lu's army actually pressed the border and surrounded their city, not to mention, or when their treasury was empty and the new grain grew in the field and could not be harvested at all?
It's too late to say that.
The hearts of several lieutenants were so heavy, I really felt that there was no hope at all.
One by one, they scolded their mothers in their hearts.
No wonder Yao Chong and the county ordered the two dogs to run, in such a situation, in such a mess, when there is no external danger pressure, they can probably tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.
But once the army is overwhelmed, these secrets are no longer secrets, they are definitely going to break out, so when will they wait if they don't run? Wait for everyone to discover these secrets and then go and eat them alive?
It's just hateful, a group of them ran away with all the dogs and tails, leaving everyone helpless and desperate here.
In despair, Xiao Wenye thought of his wife and children behind him, and thought of his brothers who fought side by side, and he was unwilling to give up.
Unlike several other school captains, Xiao Wenye had an idea in a flash.
