Chapter 330: Running Out of Grain and Grass
Kitano Xuan's face was very helpless after leaving, and he sighed and didn't know what to do.
Ah Jin hurriedly said on the side: "Lord Wang, in fact, even if we don't care about this matter, when the time comes, I am afraid that they will leave by themselves after they see the tragic situation of the war." It's just because they've been used to seeing small frictions between Northern Xinjiang and Ling Guo for so many years, so they don't think there's any problem. ”
After listening to Ah Jin's analysis, Kitano Xuan felt a little comfortable in his heart, rubbed his brows and said, "I hope so...... Find a place to settle down, and then we'll talk about what to do. ”
Five days later, the battle was approaching, and Ling Guo, who had been coming to harass him from time to time, suddenly changed his offensive and wanted to attack the city very fiercely, and the sound of the wooden stake hitting the city gate could be heard clearly throughout the city.
"Lord Wang, what now?" Ah Jin touched the liquid on his face that he didn't know if it was blood or sweat, he was not nervous at all, he believed that Beiye Xuan could repel these Ling people.
Kitano Xuan thought for a while and said, "What about the hot oil that you burned yesterday?" Now all of them are splashed from the gates. ”
Because there were still people in the city, Kitano Xuan didn't dare to open the city gate, so he had to use this method to repel the Ling army.
A pot of hot oil poured down the base of the city wall, and almost instantly, the sound of hot oil touching the skin could even reach his ears very clearly, and he could even smell the smell of meat in the air.
Kitano Xuan, who hadn't bothered to eat for a day and a night, smelled this smell and vomited it almost instantly. But after all, he hadn't eaten for a day and a night, and after vomiting for a long time, he only vomited out some of the water he had drunk, and nothing else.
Ah Jin was startled, and hurriedly went over to help Beiye Xuan, and asked someone to bring some hot water: "The prince still has something to eat, right?" If you don't eat or drink like this, you're afraid that your body won't be able to stand it! In case you fall by then, what will happen to us? ”
Ah Jin looked around at the soldiers around him, they were all very young, some were even only sixteen or seventeen years old, looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes were full of fear, but he still poured the hot oil in his hand.
Kitano Xuan nodded, and Ah Jin hurriedly brought white porridge over and put it into Kitano Xuan's mouth.
The attack of the Ling people did not stop until the sky was white, presumably the Ling people were also seriously injured, and when they left, they did not leave as scolding as they had done the previous times.
When all the people of Ling Guo left, Beiye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and instructed the person in charge of the survey to take care of this place.
On the way back to the barracks, Kitano Xuan and Ah Jin happened to pass by the residential area of those residents, and they heard the urgent discussion of those people.
"It's horrible, I didn't sleep all night last night, and I was so scared that I almost peed my pants when I heard that sound!"
"Don't talk about you, even if I've seen a lot of things for so many years, I've never seen such a scene, let alone a young man like you?"
"I don't think we might as well leave, right? Who knows when this Ling Guoren will be able to get in, in case that general can't hold it and let us keep stopping it, then won't we be finished?! ”
"That's right! No, no, I'm going to pack my things and go! ”
Kitano Xuan, who was still a little uncomfortable because the people were unwilling to evacuate, suddenly swept away the discomfort on his body and heart after hearing these words, and said very easily: "Go over and take a look." ”
Everyone was discussing what to pack and how to take them out, when they suddenly saw Kitano Xuan coming, everyone was a little surprised: "General, why are you here?" Have you already repelled those Ling Guo people? ”
Everyone obviously didn't believe it, after all, the sound made by Ling Guo last night could be heard in the entire city, and everyone knew that Ling Guo was bound to win this war, so they were a little scared and confused.
Bei Yexuan nodded: "They have all been temporarily repulsed, but I think it won't be long before Ling Guo will come back again, and when the battle is not big this time, or whether we can open the city gate and have a good fight with them, these are all unknown." ”
Only then did the people realize that it turned out that Kitano Xuan's delay in fighting last night was entirely for the sake of them, not because of cowardice and fear of death.
The old man, who had been stubborn and unwilling to leave, sighed and said with a guilty face: "I'm really embarrassed General, I didn't expect us to cause you so much trouble." Don't worry, we'll start packing up now, and we'll leave quickly when the time comes, and we won't trouble you again. ”
Kitano Xuan was a little relieved, it seems that his persistence overnight is not wrong, otherwise when the time comes, Beiye Xuan really doesn't know if he can win this battle.
Perhaps having seen the brutality of war, the people quickly packed up their belongings and left the city in the afternoon under the escort of the army.
"General, now we can finally let go of our hands and feet and teach this Ling Guo a good lesson!" Ah Jin said with excitement on his face and Kitano Xuan.
Bei Ye Xuan was also relieved, without the concerns of these people in the city, he was able to completely let go of his hands and feet to meet these Ling Guo's troops for a while.
But what Kitano Xuan didn't expect was that the people of Ling Guo seemed to know their plans, and they hibernated for several days in a row, as if they knew Kitano Xuan's plans.
"If we continue to consume like this, I'm afraid that our grain and grass will not be enough." Beiye Xuan sighed, he didn't expect this Ling Guo to be so difficult, he took the initiative several times in succession, but the people of Ling Guo just shouldn't fight.
Ah Jin knew that Beiye Xuan's original plan was to solve this matter in a month at most, but now it has been delayed until now, but he is afraid that Beiye Xuan has already begun to worry in his heart: "Lord, it is better to write back and ask the emperor to send some more grain and grass." ”
This is also the only way at the moment, if you don't hurry up and let the emperor of Northern Xinjiang send grain and grass over, I am afraid that they will really starve to death on this border first.
It took only half a month at most for the grain and grass to be delivered, and Kitano Xuan thought that he could support this half a month, but the letter had already been sent out but there was no reply, and seeing that the grain and grass in the barracks were getting less and less, Kitano Xuan, who had always been calm, also began to panic.
"What should I do, Lord Wang? We...... There is no more food and grass left. "The military advisor in the army is starting to be anxious, if there is no food and grass, he, the military advisor, will not be able to save these people even if he is possessed by a god.
At this time, the people of Lingguo outside the city gate shouted: "I heard that your army in the northern frontier has no food and grass, it is better to let your invincible hussar general come and surrender, this general can consider sparing the lives of your entire army!" ”
General Ling Guo said very arrogantly, Ah Jin couldn't stand this anger, and jumped out directly and scolded: "Ling Guo? You Ling Guo are just some cowards, if it weren't for watching our northern Xinjiang run out of food and grass, you Ling Guo cowards would probably still be shrunk in the camp and shivering, right?! A bunch of villains! ”
The general of the Ling State didn't expect that the people of Northern Xinjiang would be able to be so full of anger when the grain and grass were exhausted, so he was stunned at the moment, lowered his head and asked the staff around him: "Didn't you say that the grain and grass sent by Northern Xinjiang have been robbed?" Why are these soldiers still so vigorous?! ”
The staff is a little helpless, their general is good at everything, and he is invincible in war, the only thing that is not so good is that his brain doesn't seem to be very bright, and there are some things that this general can't think of.
The staff said helplessly: "General, the grain and grass they sent over was indeed robbed on the road, but this does not mean that there is no grain and grass in their northern Xinjiang...... What's more, a hussar general in northern Xinjiang is said to have been the prince of Dayong, and he also won battles every time when he was in Dayong, and I told the general long before we set out on the expedition that this person is not easy to mess with! ”
General Ling Guo was a little disdainful: "It's not easy to mess with? Now it's just a bunch of poor ghosts who have no food and grass, what's there to mess with? You wait, General Ben must make this invincible hussar general surrender to General Ben! ”
Saying that, General Ling Guo rode forward and continued to shout: "Hussar General, didn't you say that you have always been invincible? Why did you hide in the city this time and didn't dare to come out? Let's have a fight. ”
As soon as the words fell, Kitano Xuan took Ah Jin out of the city gate, and looked coldly at this man who was like a clown jumping off the beam, Kitano Xuan smiled and said, "Sparring? Don't let the general be bullied by me and lose face, and then let these soldiers behind you directly besiege the two of us. ”
General Ling Guo's face turned red, he really thought it would be better to directly attack the two of them when there were only two people in Bei Ye Xuan, so that Ling Guo would definitely be able to win. It's just that General Ling Guo didn't expect that his fleeting thoughts would be discovered by Beiye Xuan.
Looking at General Ling Guo's black, red, black, and red face, Bei Yexuan sneered, raised his chin and asked, "Our grain and grass in the northern frontier have run out, I don't know how General Ling Guo knows?" Or is this grain and grass the work of the general's people in my northern territory? ”
General Ling Guo squinted his eyes and looked at Beiye Xuan carefully, just now his staff said that this Beiye Xuan was not easy to provoke and he didn't believe it, now he does believe it, this Beiye Xuan's mind is more careful than ordinary people, and he didn't even find the loopholes in his words, this Beiye Xuan was able to directly catch his loopholes.
"What grain and grass? The general is really joking, how can our people from Ling Kingdom enter the territory of your northern Xinjiang? Or is Northern Xinjiang so lax and slack? General Ling Guo continued cheekily, but the horse under him was not very honest.
