As long as the three princes save the grain and grass first, then the war horse is equivalent to giving up.

Not to mention, he can use this to escape, and he can return to the city with so much loot.

Although these things may be a drop in the bucket for the 100,000 soldiers defending the city, it is better than nothing, better than nothing.

After thinking about it from multiple angles, Qiu Ji decided to take a gamble.

Because of his own change, in the losses that can no longer be recovered, and the losses that can still be saved, Qiu Qi will also choose to save the grain and grass first.

So, take a gamble and your chances of winning are great.

Listening to the sound of the wind behind him, Qiu Ji knew that he had won the bet.

The three princes saved the grain and grass first.

If all the grain and grass are burned out, they will need to wait, and no one can predict how long this will take.

Without war horses, at most they will have no assault battalions, and if they really fight on the battlefield, there will still be more infantry.

In contrast, when there is no choice, you can only choose to save food and grass.

After knowing that it was safe, Qiu Qi didn't climb up from the horse's belly.

Because he was afraid of an accident on the road, and he was afraid that a group of war horses would appear inexplicably, Xie Jiajun would think that it was an enemy attack, and if he directly released the arrow, he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but in the hands of his own people, it would be interesting.

Ten kilometers away, although there was a circle on the Qiu Qi Road, but because of the speed of the war horse, Qiu Qi rushed to the camp where the Xie family army was now stationed before dawn.

The place where the Xie family army is now stationed is called Hecheng.

The city is not big, and there is a mountain behind it, and the people in the city have fled and died as early as the beginning of the war between the two countries.

Now there is only one empty city left, and it is not easy to squeeze 100,000 Xie family troops.

Although it is said that the Xie family army is now running out of ammunition and food, those who should be guarding the city are still guarding, and those who should be patrolling have not stopped because of the lack of food and grass.

Now that they are on the opposite side of the imperial court, as long as they still have the strength to fight, they can't just raise their hands and surrender, right?

In the middle of the night, listening to the sound of horses' hooves approaching, General Xie, who had not slept peacefully, got up violently.

Beside him is his wife Yun Suiyan, who also follows him to the battlefield and can also go into battle to kill the enemy.

"Is it the sound of horses' hooves?" As a female general, Yun Suiyan's ability is not inferior to General Xie, and what General Xie can hear, she also hears.

There was no time to be stunned, the two of them glanced at each other, and quickly got up.

Put on the battle robe, and directly blow the horn of war.

The two of them thought it was an enemy attack, so they naturally took care of the others at this time.

Regardless of whether you can fight or not, you should fight first.

Even if you can't go out of the city to fight, at least be on guard first!

The two major generals of the Xie family, Xie Zhi and Xie Yang, also got up at this time, and their battle robes were already put on, just waiting for their father's order!

"General, it's a war horse, a war horse without people!" The soldiers defending the city saw a war horse roaring coming, and the whole person was already stunned, and while organizing the soldiers guarding the city to prepare first, they sent someone over to inform General Xie.

"No one's war horse?" When Yun Suiyan heard this, he asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Yun." The soldier was a little excited, knowing that Yun Suiyan probably couldn't believe it, in the middle of the night, there were still no war horses sent to the door, so he nodded heavily, and his voice trembled.

"Check it out." Although General Xie had doubts in his heart, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, it was not easy for him to guess what was going on.

Pitfall?

Bait?

Or is it some other conspiracy?

You must know that as long as you open the city gate, these unmanned war horses will become your own bag.

No, that's the idea that the other party played.

The city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you defend the city gate, it is not easy to attack and enter.

Unless the other party is fighting a protracted war, dragging themselves to death.

Otherwise, they will find a way to force themselves to open the city gates.

General Xie's face was heavy, and Yun Suiyan also thought of this, and his face also condensed a lot.

Although Xie Zhi and Xie Yang are young, they have a lot of battlefield experience, and they think a lot at this time, looking at their parents' faces are not very good-looking, the two of them glanced at each other, and the original excitement disappeared at this time.

The excited lieutenant next to him, when he saw that the main general's face was not very good-looking, he chuckled in his heart, and after a while, he figured it out.

They were in dire need of food and grass, so when they saw the horses, the soldiers were full of light and didn't think much about it for a while.

Now that I have calmed down, I have only reacted, what if this is a conspiracy of the enemy, or a trap?

After all, the state of Chu wanted to attack them, and the imperial court also wanted to fight them.

General Xie led a group of lieutenants to the top of the city tower, and the war horses had already arrived at the city gate.

I really didn't see anyone right away!

"No, there's someone under that horse!" Xie Yang was young, his eyes were also sharp, and in the firelight, he saw the belly of the leading war horse, which didn't seem right.

Where is it like a person lying on his stomach?

"Archer prepare!" When General Xie heard this, he immediately asked the archers who were already in place to directly pull the strings and prepare to release the arrows.

Bang!

Before they could release their arrows, the man lying under the belly of the leading horse fell directly to the ground with a bang, and the sound was extremely obvious in the noisy environment.

Qiu Qi knew that if she showed her head at this time, she might be shot into a sieve by the extremely vigilant General Xie, so she still fainted directly to the ground, making people feel that she was not a threat.

Let's see what happens after that.

In addition, my physical strength really can't support it.

"Dizzy? Or is it dead? Xie Yang's eyes are very useful, but the night is too deep, and they are only illuminated by torches, the sky will be bright at this time, and the vision is not good, and he is not sure.

Except for this one person, there was no one to be seen on the other war horses.

General Xie thought for a moment with a heavy face, and then waved his hand and said, "Xie Zhi took a team of people to follow me out to have a look." ”

"It's not right, you are the main general, how can you leave the camp easily, I'll go." When Yun Suiyan heard this, he immediately retorted.

General Xie is the main general and the soul of the Xie family's army, if there is a real accident, what will happen to the 100,000 Xie family's army?

Yun Suiyan is a deputy general, if something happens to her, she will not have much impact on the army.

So, she insisted on her past.

Other adjutant generals also jumped out, saying that General Xie couldn't go out, and if he wanted to go, they would go.

Seeing this, General Xie didn't insist, and sent Yun Suiyan and another deputy general, plus Xie Zhi, a young general, to go out with a team of two hundred people to take a look.

"If it's wrong, go back to the city right away." The reason why I didn't dare to send many people was because I was afraid of the traps in the future.

Therefore, before leaving, General Xie made a special explanation.

Yun Suiyan and another lieutenant general, who have rich experience on the battlefield, naturally know that at the critical moment, don't worry about these war horses, it is important to save your life.

After the two men had answered, they set out with the people.

In fact, there is not much distance, but everyone is hanging with a heart, and there is no child's play in the army, so everyone's faces are extremely serious.
