Jin Hu's eyes widened, he looked down at his own soldiers, and asked him through gritted teeth: "What did you say? Three hundred ships of military supplies are enough for us to eat for a month, and after only one day, you told me that there is nothing to eat now?"

The soldiers hit their heads on the ground and cried in a trembling voice: "Marshal, most of our grain and grass boat was burned by the Xuan Army last night, and a batch was washed away by Hong Feng later, and the brothers desperately rescued it, but it was enough for two meals of rations, and after this meal, we have no more food and grass!"

Jin Hu was dumbfounded, like being devoured by thunder, opened and closed his mouth a few times, squatted on the ground, picked up the dishes and chopsticks that he had knocked down, and sandwiched the pieces of meat that had been stained with dust one by one, and put them into the bowl!

"Marshal, don't! These are already dirty—" The soldiers were shocked, and got up to snatch the dishes and chopsticks from the marshal's hand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info(hua.)

Jin Hu waved his hand and said to him in a low voice: "Call all the generals and deputy generals of each battalion!

The soldiers did not dare to delay, and retreated out of the big tent.

Jin Hu squatted silently on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. I think of myself as a marshal of the army, who has always been pampered, when has he picked up something that has fallen on the ground!

And all of this was harmed by Xuanbao, if he hadn't rebelled, how could he have traveled thousands of miles to this desolate place! How could he be so defeated!

"Marshal!" an exclamation came from the door of the big tent, and the generals and adjutant generals of the battalions all changed their faces when they saw the marshal squatting on the ground to pick up meat, and they rushed over one after another, wanting to snatch the dishes and chopsticks in his hands!

Jin Hu said to the people, "Don't move! Sande, get some pure water!"

The pro-soldier who gave the order answered, ran out for a while, and soon brought a bamboo tube over.

Jin Hu sandwiched the last piece of meat in the iron bowl, then asked Sande to pour water, washed the meat pieces in the bowl, and walked in front of everyone with the bowl this time!

"Brothers, this is our last bowl of meat, from tomorrow, we will not have a piece of meat in the mouth, not a grain of rice in the pot!" Jin Hu looked at everyone with a solemn expression and sighed deeply. Read the full text of the latest chapter.

In fact, everyone knows this, and everyone also lowered their heads one by one, worried in their hearts. Fighting hungry has always been a taboo in the army!

Someone looked calm, and said to Jin Hu with a smile: "Marshal, don't worry, we only need to eat one meal at most, and tomorrow morning at the latest, our 200,000 reinforcements will come!"

When everyone heard this, they all became excited, yes, how did they forget all the reinforcements, they are still afraid of hunger, and they can eat whatever they want!

Jin Hu's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and he slowly let go, took a breath and said to everyone: "They won't come!"

The smiles on everyone's faces froze, and they looked at Jin Hu in shock.

Jin Hu continued to say to everyone: "I just received a message from the flying pigeon, the reinforcements were blocked by the mountain bandits, the five hundred grain and grass boats were burned to ashes, and the 200,000 reinforcements were trapped in the mountains, even if they get out of the trap, the new waterway of the Hanjiang River has been cut off!"

It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, everyone was stunned, looking at Jin Hu in a daze, and his mind was blank! The man who was still laughing just now was full of panic at the moment, and said to Jin Hu in a trembling voice: "Marshal, I... It's time for... What should I do?"

Jin Hu did not answer him, but picked up the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and said to everyone: "One piece for each person, eat this bowl of meat!"

The crowd didn't understand how he could give such an order, but they didn't dare to disobey, so the one on the far right took the chopsticks, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, and then handed it to the people around him.

When the chopsticks were returned to Jin Hu's hand, there was no more, no less, and there was just one piece left, Jin Hu silently picked it up, put it in his mouth, closed his eyes and chewed slowly, and muttered: "I haven't eaten pork for nearly ten years, and now I eat it, it's so delicious!"

The hearts of the people were in a state of confusion, silently chewing the meat in their mouths, tears in their eyes! The 500,000-strong army came over with great momentum, and now it has actually become the point that even a bowl of meat has to be eaten, how can it not make these generals who have always been respected in the army feel sad!

"Our current situation is all caused by Xuanbao! If we want to eat enough in the future, if we want to have meat to eat, we have only one way!" Jin Hu slammed his fist on the wooden table, the simple wooden table couldn't stand his punch at all, and collapsed to the ground with a "click"!

Jin Hu gritted his teeth and said to everyone: "Capture Xianji and occupy the Styx Lake! Only by completely defeating the Xuan army can we restore our former good life, otherwise even if we withdraw our troops now, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the army after we go back!"

"Defeat the Xuan Army, kill the Xuan Bao!" more than a dozen generals were in a passionate mood, gritting their teeth and shouting loudly!

Ma Zhongyi, the general of the Divine Cavalry Battalion, said to Jin Hu: "General, we still have 5,000 war horses, I will go and lead the cavalry now to attack Xianji!"

Jin Hu waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry! Notify you, truce tonight! Xianji is not so easy to attack, since we have no way to retreat, then make careful arrangements and do not allow mistakes! Notify the army, go deep into the mountains to cut down trees and forests, and seize the time to prepare engineering equipment!"

"Yes!" replied in unison. The Yin army has experienced countless battles and battles, and the veterans in the army are proficient in the production of siege tools such as ladders, wooden carts, catapults, etc., so it is not difficult to build a batch of siege equipment in a period of time!

Jin Hu said in a deep voice: "Brothers, tomorrow at noon, we will launch a siege war, no matter what method you use, you must feed the whole army and feed the war horses! We will strive to break the city in a battle, because we really do not have the strength to fight against the Xuan army for a long time!"

Everyone was gloomy at each other, but there was determination in their eyes, and they arched their hands at the golden tiger and shouted in unison: "Please rest assured, marshal!"

In the county office, Xiao Bao held a teacup and said with a slight smile: "I originally thought that the Yin army would make a desperate bet and attack Xianji immediately, but I didn't expect that this Golden Tiger Marshal really deserves his reputation and can calm down in this situation! It is estimated that they will not make any movement tonight, notify the scouts to spy in shifts, and the army will rest in the county seat!"

Wu Fu bowed his hand, turned around and went out to inform the army. Shi Wuce stood beside Xiaobao, looked at the sand table in front of him and said, "Emperor, I think the Golden Tiger can endure it, and in a battle tomorrow, he will definitely do his best!"

Xian Yang said with a smile: "The construction of the city defense is almost over, although it is a temporary preparation, it is not strong, but the Yin army is also rushing to attack, the siege equipment has been destroyed by most of us, they want to redo it, it must be just a temporary emergency, the power is limited, the only thing we should pay attention to is their five chariots and a thousand heavy cavalry, the newly built urn city has not been reinforced, can not withstand the impact of chariots and heavy cavalry!"

Xiao Bao pondered contemplatively, dealing with the heavy cavalry of the Yin army, the Xuan army did not have a very effective way!

Wearing heavy armor, a fine iron shield in his hand, a longbow on his back, even the arrow clusters are cast in copper, a fine iron sword at his waist, holding a spear in his hand, and even the war horse under his crotch is protected by a fine iron armor, it is simply like a small chariot, once it charges, it is not at all something that ordinary troops can resist! Even if you don't use weapons, you can smash people into meat pies just by ramming them with horses!

At present, the most powerful way to stop the heavy cavalry is the temporarily dug moat outside the north gate that is five meters wide and three meters deep, and it has not had time to draw water, but it has just rained heavily, and there is a lot of water in it.

Only the moat could weaken the offensive of the heavy cavalry. According to the current situation of the Yin army, it is impossible to build a trench car in a short time, so that the charge of the Yin army will be greatly reduced!

During the war, Xiaobao did not return to the Styx, but lived in the county office. Gongliangwei prepared a room for Emperor Zun and several generals, but Xiaobao didn't feel sleepy, sitting in front of the window and looking at the big fish mountain in the distance.

It was already early and the city was very quiet, and some of the people near the city gate moved outside the south gate, and the rest went to bed early. A curfew is generally imposed during the time of war, which is to prevent the enemy's spies from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos.

However, there was a galloping horse galloping from the south gate, and the horse's hooves were crisply beating on the bluestone road in the city, making a pleasant hoof sound.

Xiaobao frowned, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves stopped in front of the county office, there were thousands of guards interrogating, and after a while, the voice of the fairy sheep came from outside the room: "Emperor, the city of Sentinel Camp Gu came to meet you!"

It's so late that Guzhi City is still coming from the Styx, so there must be something important! Xiaobao flicked his fingers, and an oil lamp on the table next to him burst into flames, and the wick was ignited, and he also sat down at the table and said to the door, "Come in!"

Guzhicheng pushed the door in, carrying a silver-gray thing in his hand, which was almost transparent under the light!

Guzhicheng walked up to Xiaobao, knelt down on one knee and said to him: "Disturb the emperor's rest, please forgive the emperor's sin, it is really a strange thing in the Styx, I have to come overnight, please make a decision!"

Xiao Bao knew that he would have something, nodded and said, "What kind of strange thing is it, even the general Gu of the sentry camp has lost his proportion?"

Xiaobao had a very good impression of Guzhicheng, so he didn't take him as a person, and he looked at Guzhicheng's face, although he was anxious, he was not angry, which showed that it was not a security problem, so he was not in a hurry in his heart, so he made a joke about Guzhicheng.

Gu Zhicheng also smiled, and returned to the puzzled look just now, and said to Xiao Bao: "Emperor Zun, since the beginning of the Styx Lake today, some strange things have been drifting in, and it has been nearly three hours now, and the strange things are still increasing, and the entire Styx Lake is almost covered with it! Look, this is what I salvaged casually!"

Xiaobao took the things in Guzhicheng's hand, put them on the table next to him, and watched them with the fairy sheep.

It seems to be a piece of clothing, with a neckline, sleeves, and no placket, but directly put on it. It's just that I don't know what material this dress is made of, the outside is like a fish scale turning silver light, and there is a mezzanine inside, the fairy sheep took a closer look, and said to Xiaobao in shock: "It's actually sewn!"

Xiaobao glanced at the fairy sheep, they were all clothes, and they were obviously hand-sewn!

"How many? Have you counted?" Xiaobao turned his head and asked Guzhicheng.

Gu Zhicheng shook his head and said, "It's too much! At first, the brothers in the outpost camp didn't pay attention, because this thing was as transparent as it was soaked in the water spirit, and it was getting dark, so it was not easy to see!"

It's true that when he brought it in just now, the fairy sheep couldn't see it without looking carefully!

Guzhicheng continued: "Later, it was Xuanwu and Kiss who discovered it first, and they also went ashore, and the brothers noticed that the entire Styx Lake was almost full, not to mention nearly 100,000 pieces!"
