Chapter 353: Food Crisis

Kaolan City is a well-known fortified city in Zhongguo, not only the city wall is hard and tall, and the enemy tower is like a forest, but more importantly, this city is a fortress that blocks the official road to Trainne City, and it is the only way for the guild army to kill Trainne City.

After Xia Yanfeng watched the whole city from the sidelines, he had already drawn a perfect "city defense map" in his brain, and according to Xia Yanfeng's instructions, he temporarily mobilized the layout of several city defenses.

However, what made Xia Yanfeng unbearable was that except for those black and gold knights that Ji Chengyun used to show him, the rest of the soldiers defending the city were all yellow and thin, and they felt no better than the hungry people they had seen in Terrain City.

"Mr. Xia, haha, I can't imagine that you and I will really fight side by side this day. How is it? Are you still used to following the prince?" Ji Chengyun and Xia Yanfeng walked side by side, he patted Xia Yanfeng's shoulder boldly, and greeted him enthusiastically.

"It's fine. Xia Yanfeng replied lightly, and didn't want to deal with him, but some things still had to be clarified, otherwise they would still play a ball?

On the general's mansion, Ji Chengyun and Ling Feiniao were summoned by Xia Yanfeng, and both of them had no shortage of breath, and the moment they walked into the mansion, Xia Yanfeng could really distinguish them. Ji Chengyun is no different from when they first met in Duolang'an City, Ling Feiniao's aura is not as good as Ji Chengyun, but wearing a veil gives people a dignified and suppressed sense of infinite mystery, but fortunately they don't have any hostile aura towards their new boss, Xia Yanfeng went to summon them over, naturally to figure out some things that had to be clarified.

"Are you...... Ling Feiniao?" Xia Yanfeng looked the masked Ling Feiniao up and down, and said matter-of-factly, "Take off the veil, in front of Ben Shuai, you don't have to hide it." ”

"Back to the general, there are strange sores on the side of the face, I am afraid that I will take off the veil and scare the general. Ling Feiniao said coldly.

"It doesn't matter. Xia Yanfeng smiled, "Do you want Ben Shuai to pick it for you, or do you pick it yourself?"

"General, are you really sure you have to see the faces below?" Ling Feiniao knew that he couldn't help it, and he didn't have the bad habit of competing with his superiors, so he just woke up lightly, and then reached out and tore off the veil.

Then, not only Xia Yanfeng, but even Ji Chengyun on the side was stunned, and they couldn't say half a word for a long time.

It has a young and handsome face, with upright facial features, delicate eyebrows, and a creamy demeanor, but his lower right side face seems to have been splashed with sulfuric acid, and the skin is festering to the extreme, and the folds of the surrounding skin are like old men in the old age of a candle, and the whole face is put together, full of disobedience. Moreover, the festering part had a thick green sore on it, and there seemed to be pus flowing from it.

"It's a curse, but it can't be cured, no matter what medicine you use. Ling Feiniao put the veil back on, and as he spoke, there was a faint sadness in his eyes.

"I'm sorry. So, let's get down to business. Xia Yanfeng sighed, picked up the wine on the table and started drinking, and then, with a "poof", he sprayed the wine all over the ground, "Damn...... Is this wine drunk? How much water do you mix?"

Just when Ji Chengyun and Ling Feiniao looked at each other awkwardly, the guy sent Xia Yanfeng a dinner. Xia Yanfeng looked at the bowl of gruel on the table that was so thin that it was almost a bowl of clear soup and fresh water, as well as the bits and pieces, almost the crumbs of bread used to feed the ants, he couldn't help but smoke in his nostrils, and slapped the table fiercely, smashing the "dinner" to the ground in one go.

"You have the intention to fix me, right? This kind of thing, you feed the livestock! The lord of a city, but he eats this kind of food that even disdains to be called Hanako, this is how you treat the new commander?" Xia Yanfeng's dissatisfaction was all written on his face.

"Mr. Xia doesn't know that there was a problem with the supply of the imperial court a few days ago, the food has not arrived for a long time, and the soldiers of the border guards have not eaten a full meal for a long time, even me, every meal is only a few porridge with breadcrumbs, let alone wine. In order to keep the fortress out of Kaulan for a little longer, we had to reduce our limited food to one meal a day, but even then we would not have enough food until the eighth day. Ji Chengyun explained, "By the way, the food that Mr. Xia wasted just now is enough for a soldier to eat for three days......

"Are you kidding me? It's ridiculous!" Xia Yanfeng finally understood why the soldiers had lost weight and the common people were hungry, and it was understandable that the soldiers were almost hungry, but a general ate less than a beggar, and this was something Xia Yanfeng could not tolerate! From childhood to adulthood, how could he have eaten such a "pitiful" dinner? You know, he used to think that instant noodles were unpalatable, and that the dumplings in roadside restaurants could not fill his stomach, but now that he thinks about it, instant noodles, you are so delicious! Dumplings, you are so cute!

"General, if you really can't swallow this crude ration, you can kill the lazy soldiers on weekdays and cook human flesh for you. Ling Feiniao smiled cruelly.

"That's it, that's it, really, where has the military rations gone?" Xia Yanfeng straightened up, "The matter of military rations is very important, and the soldiers can't afford to have enough to eat, so how can they have the strength to fight? What's more, in addition to being hungry, it is difficult for all the soldiers to guarantee that they will have the heart of defection, so if the matter of military rations is not resolved, this battle will not be fought! A group of hungry soldiers, even if I am a god, I can't bring it up!"

"I'm sorry for you...... Mr. Xia, I'm really sorry, Trainn City has been in a particularly big mess recently, and the imperial court hasn't given us supplies for a long time. This is true not only of Kaolan City, but also of every town in Zhongguo, and the last general has also gone to the imperial court many times to urge for food, but there has been no response. Ji Chengyun said helplessly, "I really have the intention to kill the thief, and I can't go back to heaven." ”

"You shall not live. Xia Yanfeng sighed, the soldiers on the front line are vulnerable, the most fundamental reason is not that the combat strength is too low, but that they can't even eat! No, if it goes on like this, they are simply sitting and waiting to die!

How could Zhongguo's huge territory not be able to supply even a little military rations? But after thinking about it carefully, it is not surprising, this is Yuan Ye's intention to harm his brother! Where did so many of Zhongguo's resources go, Xia Yanfeng knew very well, and after the expropriation and extortion of thousands of surplus grain stocks, it fell underground into a prosperous capital city that had raced over the earthly world, and where the grain went, it must be there. Although he doesn't talk about it, he still has to solve this problem now, otherwise, in a few days, the whole army will have to collapse without a fight, and at that time, won't he become the role of the black cauldron?

"Mr. Xia, if it really doesn't work, then you can only ...... Cooking human flesh to satisfy hunger......" Ji Chengyun said in a trembling voice, "I've been hungry for so many days, and even the lettuce, grass roots, and tree bark in the field have been boiled and eaten, and if it goes on like this, it's really a big problem......

"Send someone to Trainn City immediately to urge grain! Find Guo Yewang! Tell him that the morning after tomorrow, if I Xia Yanfeng can't see the grain and grass delivered, I won't do this errand! After I go back, I have to give him a look!" Xia Yanfeng was angry, and he fooled him with Guo Yewang, he didn't want to wait for death!

Ji Chengyun and Ling Feiniao were speechless, if they couldn't fight quickly, what awaited them was the fate of perdition.

After being silent for a long time, Xia Yanfeng finally stood up, and his eyes suddenly became radiant. He firmed down, and his aura expanded instantly. He smiled, laughing with the ambition to win, but with all kinds of helplessness, at this moment, his brows were slightly furrowed, and the plan was already in his heart.

"It's unrealistic to wait for the food to arrive, and those people don't just have procrastination, they have ghosts in their hearts. Xia Yanfeng snorted coldly and turned his back to the two, "From now on, everything is under my orders, and I will help you get food." ”

Ji Chengyun hurriedly said: "What to do, please ask Mr. Xia to show me." ”

"Well, listen, early tomorrow morning, we will raise the white flag and surrender, open the gates, and let Sutron into the city. ”

"Huh, surrender?" Ling Feiniao thought he had misheard.

"Who told you to surrender? According to my mistake, not only can you solve the food crisis, but if you are lucky, you may be able to capture Sutron alive. Xia Yanfeng smiled sinisterly at the wall. He didn't know if the double-layered poisonous plan could hide it from Guo Xing, but if Suterun really fell for the trick, he couldn't blame him for being ruthless and unjust.

After explaining the strategy, Ji Chengyun and Ling Feiniao both secretly exclaimed: "Wonderful!

"Mr. Xia is also ruthless, and his moves have forced your old club to a dead end. Ji Chengyun applauded with a smile on his face.

"If I don't be cruel to them, I'll be unlucky, I, William Xia, am not a person who will not be ruthless because he thinks of his old feelings. Xia Yanfeng said, "Oh, by the way, it's not good for me to show my face in front of them, it's just Sherlock here, there is no William Xia." ”

In the Guild Army camp, Chid's spies reported to the Chinese army's tent again, and Sutron looked at the sentry with a puzzled expression, and a sumptuous meal was on the table. He smiled and said nonchalantly: "No matter how much reconnaissance is a superfluous move, they will surrender soon, I think, they shouldn't even be able to eat, right?"

"No, there has been a substantial change in the manpower of their fortifications. The spy said.

"Hehe, it's not a big deal. Sutron shook his hand, "Stand down, no matter how much you change, it's just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers." ”

"President!" Guo Xing opened his mouth again, "We can't underestimate the enemy, listen to him finish speaking." ”

"That's the case, the soldiers on several arrow towers have changed from one to three, two of them are left and right guards, and the manpower of the city tower guard was originally rotated twice a day, once a day and once a night, but since the arrival of the new commander, it has become four times a day, and each city tower takes turns to exchange defenses, and they have not continued to strengthen the city defense, nor have they increased the number of archers, and they have replaced a large number of archers with spearmen, and even increased the number of artillery shooters for small-scale blasting, but those gunners seem to use relatively short-range magic guide cannons, but in terms of the quality of Zhongguo's soldiers, they can rarely train excellent'Magic Gunner'......"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!" Sutron sneered, "Do they want to wait for our army to break through the city before fighting to the death?" ”

"President......" Guo Xing wanted to say something.

"Pass my order and attack the city tomorrow morning!"
