With the end of the first encounter, it ended with the barbarians throwing away a thousand corpses.

Here, Nurba led the army back to the camp at once, and once again discussed.

"Nurba, what do you say now, there is no way to fight like this, and people are not fooled" Hubach said anxiously at this time.

"Sit down, sit down," Nurba said in a deep voice, frowning at this time.

At this time, Nurba was also helpless, at a distance of 1000 meters, the strong bow could not reach, but there were crossbow arrows, which he never expected. Because of his momentary negligence, he confessed to nearly a thousand warriors.

So it's impossible to say that you're not angry at this time. But there is no way to be angry, people just can't defend it now, and it's useless to scold. It's really stumped right now. If you can't attack, you can't defend what you can't defend.

Nurba glanced around, saw that all four of them were sitting down, and said in a deep voice: "The key now is not to think about how to break the enemy, now we have to think about how to defend." ”

"Hmm, strategist, do you mean that the other party will come to attack the city?" asked Hera hurriedly.

"Yes, today's stop, it is obvious, the other party can't defend it, but maybe this is the appearance, the other party sees that we can't attack the city, as long as we wait a few days, and when we are irritable, it is possible to raid at night. ”

"Therefore, since we can't attack now, then we will order to go down, we must defend well, disperse the spies to 10 miles away from the barracks, and if there is any disturbance, we will immediately warn you. ”

"We can't attack the city and not take it, but the barracks will be captured instead, and then the five of us will not be able to explain when we go back. At this point, Nurba deliberately paused to give everyone a moment to think.

Then the whole horde fell silent. Now it is not only the defensive problem that is in front of us, but also the problem of food and grass, which Nurba has not yet spoken.

The barbarians generally follow the policy of fast fighting and quick return, and basically do not carry much rations on their bodies, and wherever the horse rides, there are rations, so they do not have the habit of bringing much rations at all.

Even if it was this expedition, it would gather all the reserve food of the barbarian tribes as military rations. All that's left is some air-dried meat, but it won't last long.

Therefore, if you spend ten days and half a month here, you don't need the other party to fight at that time, and your side will starve to death first. As for the reason for starting a war, it is also very simple, that is, to grab food, and if you don't have food, you have to starve.

"Well, you tell you to go down and pay attention to the defense, and if you don't fight, you will only have one meal a day at noon, and send the infantry into the mountains to hunt, and bring back all the meat you can eat," Nurba continued.

"In addition, I will send someone to send a letter to the king to inform him of the situation here, and the specific situation is based on the king's decision, for the time being, we will not continue to attack, and we will stabilize first. ”

"It's... Commanded"

The barbarians here have already made a defensive posture, and Feixi County has entered the harvest time, and now the entire Feixi County is in full swing, and all the fertile fields are full of people harvesting grain.

Two days after the first battle, Gongsun Ce galloped quickly.

"Young Master... Congratulations to the young master, this time the entire county has had a bumper harvest, and now the people have begun to harvest a large amount, and in a short time, the supply of military food can be satisfied. Here, Gongsun Ce looked excited.

"Good... Gongsun Ce has worked hard for you this time. There is still a heavy burden to be handed over to you next!" I looked at Gongsun Ce, who was in the dust, and said in my heart that I didn't dare to move, it was fake.

"Young master, you have something to order, the amount of grain currently paid can feed an army of 200,000 for half a year, but it can be harvested again after half a year, so I came to ask you if you can continue to recruit troops. ”

"Haha... Those who know me are Gongsun Ceye. Yes, Gongsun Ce thinks the same as I think, since the food problem is solved now, then let's recruit troops, train first, and don't rush to the battlefield. ”

"But you still have to worry a lot about this food problem, as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, you have to take care of my rear for me." At this time, I had already come down, patted Gongsun Ce's shoulder, and said solemnly.

"Young master, rest assured, I have organized experienced people to conduct experiments and strive to expand grain production. At present, according to the current harvest, excluding the grain handed in, every household will have enough food for at least one year, so there is no need to worry about this problem. ”

At this time, Gongsun Ce looked full of self-confidence and talked with admiration.

"Haha... Okay, today's news is the happiest news I've heard, don't leave in the evening, let's get together and have a drink. "I couldn't be happier at this point.

Now I want money and money, and I want food and food, what am I afraid of, continue to expand the army, not to mention a million army, in a year or two, I must lead hundreds of thousands of troops to the battle.

In that way, I will do a great job.

The evening is cheerful, the news brought by Gongsun Ce has solved the urgent need, at least from the bottom of my heart, I am not afraid to turn my face with the Heavenly Trench City, even if you cut off my foster care, I can still raise soldiers.

It's just that there is a jubilant scene here, and the barbarians are a little bleak on the other side, and going up to the mountains to hunt can't solve the problem of feeding the 250,000 army at all. Although it has now been changed to one meal a day, it is a nightmare for barbarians who eat meat all day.

After two days of starvation, commotion gradually began to break out in the barbarian army. I think they came to join the army to attack Feixi County, and they came here because it was profitable. Whether it's food, wine, or.

As long as you can grab everything you can bring, you can take it with you. But now the dream is shattered, not to mention those things, and now I can only go hungry here. As a result, there have been several small-scale riots by this time.

In the end, it was all subdued under the persuasion and suppression of Nurba. However, this will not solve the fundamental problem, and it will only be two days, and the longer the time drags on, the less military rations will be, and the situation of everyone's hunger will become more and more obvious.

Now the king of the barbarian side has not sent a letter, specifically informing whether to fight or withdraw. Now that this is consumed, even Nurba has gradually lost his temper.

"My lord.... My subordinates have something to see."

The sudden shout woke up Nurba, who was immersed in thought, looked up at a warrior standing outside the account, nodded, and did not say anything.

Then a man in sheepskin stepped in, knelt on one knee, put his right hand on his chest, and said: "My lord, whether to retreat or attack, you have to pay that attention, now the military rations are only enough for 5 days to eat, and it is still a case of deductions, it can only support 5 days at most, if you continue to wait, I am afraid that the army will kill horses and satisfy hunger." ”

At this time, Nurba's brows were furrowed, Nurba knew that the situation was urgent, but he didn't expect that the military food was only enough for 5 days, which meant that if he didn't return after 3 days, these people might really kill horses to satisfy their hunger.

"Can you find a way to hold on for a little longer? Now that the king's reply has not yet come, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the rash class teacher to go back, if the whole army of dried meat is collected and distributed uniformly, do you think it can be supported for a few days?" At this time, Nurba held his forehead and asked lightly.

"My lord, even if you ask for it, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect much, many of the warriors who haven't eaten enough for the past 2 days have already been eating the jerky they brought, and even if they do, they won't be able to collect much. The barbarian also shook his head helplessly at this time.

"Alright... You go down, I'm thinking of a good way to break the enemy, as long as we can break the enemy, there will be a lot of grain waiting for us to harvest in Feixi County, you can drag the time as long as possible. ”

"It's... The subordinates obeyed" Then the barbarian nodded and slowly retreated.

At this time, Nurba really has a headache, there is no food available, and now he may have to fight to the death. If you can capture Feixi County in a certain period of time, you will have a lot of food.

"Someone... Summoning the other four commanders to come over and discuss the matter. Nurba, who was sitting on the ground, finally had to take a risk and prepare to storm the city by force.

The four commanders then entered Nurba's tent one after the other.

Seeing the four of them sitting cross-legged, Nurba said: "There is no military ration available now, and the only way is to break the city to rob it, so do you have any good ideas to offer?"

Silent, none of the four spoke, Hubach thought to himself, you are the smartest person among us, you have no good way to break the enemy, what good can we do.

After a quarter of an hour of silence, Nurba swept around, knowing that these stupid donkeys were good at charging into battle to play with women. When it comes to using your brain to think of a good way to break the enemy, that's.

"Okay, it seems that you didn't think of a good plan to break the enemy at all, so you gave the order to go down the mountain and cut down wood and tie it to a long ladder two days after tomorrow. Three days later, at dawn, the siege was launched. Nurba said with a look of lovelessness.

"This...."The crowd stopped talking.

"Don't do this or that, go down and execute, if we can't break the city this time, let's kill the horses to satisfy our hunger, and go back to the tribe!" Nurba waved his hand, signaling not to worry about anything.

Because there are only two roads in front of us at present, either retreat now, or attack once, there are simply more than 100,000 people here, and it is really necessary to attack the city, and it is not certain who will win and who will lose.

Time flickered, and the 2nd had passed.

The barbarians have already set up countless improvised ladders. According to the requirements, all the cavalry were converted into infantry, and all carried on ladders, as long as one place could be broken, the entire city wall could be taken.

At dawn on the third day, when the first rays of sunlight hit the city wall, the people standing on the top of the city tower suddenly saw smoke and dust rising in the distance, and knew that it was not good, it must be that the barbarians had come to attack the city.

Boom... Boom... boom

The sound of urgent drums resounded throughout the tower.

Boom... Boom... boom

I was still meditating, when I suddenly heard the sound of drums, I got up with a roll, rushed out of the big tent, lifted the drumsticks and hammered them, and the whole drum resounded throughout the county garrison.

With the sound of drums, the entire garrison immediately exploded, and all the sergeants were assembled in a short time and quickly ran to the city wall.

I simply put on my armor, stepped out of the tent, got on my horse, and galloped towards the wall.

When I stood on top of the tower, the barbarians were already rushing in all directions, but a team of 10 people with a scimitar in one hand and a ladder in the other, was rushing towards the city wall.
