Chapter 229: Smoke and Sand in the Half City (86)
Soldiers are a high-consumption group, and they eat more on weekdays, not to mention that it is wartime.
Two meals a day can also be interpreted as a tense war and too late.
But when it became a meal a day, all the soldiers were surprised, which could no longer be explained by the tension of the war.
Today, the fourth day, no food was delivered in the morning and at noon, and the soldiers were panicked and their morale plummeted.
In the face of the offensive that the Qin army had already begun to launch on the city wall, the soldiers in one position were so deluded that they let several Qin troops cooperate and climb up.
If Qiu Song hadn't reacted quickly and pulled up and killed those Qin soldiers back, once that gap was opened, the consequences of Cangzhou City would be unimaginable.
In order to improve morale, Lei Liang also took the lead in blocking the front line.
The general had already gone to the front line, but for a while the low morale was raised, and he barely blocked the Qin army's attack this time.
In the evening, the day's fighting was temporarily over.
Looking at the corpses lying down the city and on the city wall, whether they were soldiers of the Qin State or the soldiers of the Zhao State, now there was a pile of wreckage piled up there, which made the surviving people feel extremely dull.
Before this, they were all living people, but now, they are just a pile of rotten meat.
Because he was the first to stand in the front line, Lei Liang's shoulder was accidentally shot by a stray arrow, and he was being treated and bandaged by a military doctor at the moment.
Lei Liang had dodged as best he could, but he was still pierced in the shoulder by the arrow. And Qin Jun's arrows of that trait were so powerful that they couldn't even stop his armor, and they almost broke his shoulders directly.
At the moment, his eyebrows tightened, not because of the pain of the wound, but because he was worried about what would happen next.
If the food cannot be supplied tomorrow, the morale of the Cangzhou army will not rise, and the physical strength of the soldiers will also fall to the bottom, and Cangzhou City will be in danger.
At this time, Qiu Song came over and whispered beside Lei Liang: "General, the county lord of Ding'an asks to see you." ”
Lei Liang didn't even look at Qiu Song, and snorted with a calm face: "At this time, she came over to make a mess, I don't see it!" ”
Qiu Song knew that Lei Liang would react in this way, and his tone did not change and continued: "The county lord said that she can solve our food problem. ”
"She?" Speaking of food, Lei Liangcai frowned and looked at Qiu Song and groaned for a while, and only said after a while: "Call her up!" ”
"Yes."
Qiu Song went out, and after a while, Xi Fan came back with him.
Before she could speak, Lei Liang asked in a deep voice: "If you have any methods about food, just tell me directly." ”
Xi Fan put down his hand that had already saluted and clenched his fists, knowing that Lei Liang was in a hurry about the current situation, he didn't do those false things, and replied directly: "The general only knows that Ling Fan is a relative of the emperor, but he doesn't know that Ling Fan is still the person in charge behind the Ling Xiao Commercial Bank.
But after all, the Lingxiao Commercial Bank in Cangzhou City has a limited industry, and the grain that can be stored is not much, and it can only supply the Cangzhou army with three meals a day and three days, but if the general can allow Ling Fan to lead the troops out of the city to respond, the Lingxiao Commercial Bank in the surrounding towns still has food reserves, not only that, but they are still buying grain on the market these days, and these grains should be enough to support Cangzhou's military needs for half a month, and after that, the support of the imperial court should arrive anyway. ”
Lei Liang looked at the girl in front of him who was talking eloquently, and the light in his eyes was dim.
