The weapons used by the Crusade were uniformly distributed, including bows and arrows, but unlike other weapons, arrows were consumables and consumed a large number of arrows in each battle.

There are people in the barracks who are responsible for making arrows, and they have accumulated a lot of arrows on weekdays.

But at the moment when this kind of war is tight, the number of arrows is naturally as large as possible.

Yu Yuanxuan took out an arrow from the bamboo basket, looked at it carefully, and made it very fine, whether it was length or weight, it was almost the same as the standard arrows in the army.

She smiled at Li Hongye.

"These arrows are well done, can you make more?"

The arrows he made were recognized, and Li Hongye was very happy.

She nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll go tell my sister to make more arrows."

Because there is a war outside the city, they can't work in the fields, and they are idle every day when they stay in the city, so it's better to find something to do. Making arrows not only kills the time, but also helps the Upper Crusade Army, killing two birds with one stone.

Yu Yuan: "One arrow counts as five yuan for you, there are about a hundred arrows here, Mama, please go and get five hundred yuan to come over to the Red Leaf Girl."

Li Hongye hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no! I don't need to give me money, I'm glad I can help you, where else can I ask for your money?!"

Yu Yuanyu: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, you can tell others when you go back, no matter who you are, as long as you can make qualified arrows, you can sell them to me at the price of five cents per arrow, and before the end of this campaign, I will buy arrows in limited quantities."

Li Hongye immediately understood what she meant.

"You want the people of the city to help make arrows."

Yu Yuan bowed his head: "Hmm."

She did this not only to replenish the arrows for the Crusade Army, but also to find something to do for the idle people in the city, so that some people would have to think crookedly when they were idle and had nothing to do.

Embroidery handed over a heavy cloth bag.

"It's five hundred dollars here, count it."

Li Hongye did not refuse again this time.

She had to bring the money back to everyone to convince everyone that Madame was really willing to pay for the arrows.

She held the cloth bag in both hands and said gratefully, "Thank you, madam, thank you, Mama."

Embroidered Mama: "I'll send you out."

The original Hengcheng County Order has been killed by the Chen Army, and the county government has also been damaged.

The county government was temporarily changed to the general's mansion, and Tang Guixi, Yu Yuanyuan and Xiao Ti all lived here on weekdays.

Now that Tang Guixi and Xiao Ti have gone out to fight, the general's mansion will be in charge of Yu Yuan.

She asked Ling Hai to set up a grass shed at the entrance of the county ya, and hung a sign saying "One Wuwen, Buy Arrows".

Through Li Hongye's efforts to publicize, many people in the city knew about the General's Mansion to purchase arrows, and people continued to come to the General's Mansion with arrows made by themselves to sell.

Not everyone can make a good arrow like the Li Hongye sisters, and there are many shoddy works.

But any unqualified arrows will be rejected by Ling Hai.

The purchased arrows will be registered and then sent to Yu Yuanyuan for random inspection.

At first, Mama Xiuyan was worried that Yu Yuanxuan would be tired because of this, but later saw that she was concentrating on checking the quality of the arrows, and the morning sickness reaction was reduced a lot, and people became more energetic, so she tossed it.

The arrows were transported out of the city in batches and delivered to the Crusaders.

Originally, Tang Guixi was still worried about the rapid consumption of arrows, but looking at the arrows sent by Yu Yuanyuan, the worry in her heart immediately disappeared.

Without worries, the Eastern Expeditionary Army became more courageous when it began to fight.

Marshal Chenjun didn't really take a Hengcheng in his eyes.

With the strength of their Chen Kingdom's army, they can definitely take Hengcheng very quickly.

As a result of them

He kicked it on the iron plate.

No matter how they attacked, they would not be able to break through the defenses of the Crusade Army.

The two sides fought back and forth for half a month, and the Chen army not only failed to capture Hengcheng, but also lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

Can't go on like this anymore, Marshal Chen can only change his strategy.

He still remembered that he had fought with the Eastern Expeditionary Army before, and at first the Eastern Expeditionary Army had the upper hand, and later because the Eastern Expeditionary Army was in a shortage of food and grass, Emperor Dayan cut off the grain and grass support for the Eastern Expeditionary Army, which led to the Eastern Expeditionary Army falling into a crisis and retreating.

The reason why the Eastern Crusade Army was able to make a comeback was also because they raided the camp of the Chen army and took a large amount of grain and grass.

At the end of the day, it's the grain and grass that counts!

The commander of the Chen army called a meeting of the generals who received it overnight, and finally decided to suspend the attack.

They were ready to surround Hengcheng, cut off Hengcheng's communication with other places, and let those Eastern Crusade troops be trapped in Hengcheng.

In this way, the Crusade Army would be isolated.

The Crusade Army had limited food stocks, and when they ran out of food, they could only starve.

In the end, they only have two paths -

Either starve to death, or go out of the city and surrender.

On the side of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Tang Guixi and Xiao Ti found that the Chen army had stopped the offensive, and they sent scouts to investigate, and found that the Chen army had not retreated.

Not only that, but the Chen army is also encamped, ready to fight a long battle.

Tang Guixi and Xiao Ti summed it up, guessing that Chenjun should be planning to adopt a attrition strategy of besieging but not attacking.

In this way, it is exactly what they want. new

They wished for a truce so that the Crusade army and the people of the city would have more time to recuperate.

The campaign has come to an end for the time being.

The people put on their farm tools and went straight to the fields, and the fields were in full swing.

Spring goes to summer, flowers bloom and fall.

The wheat seedlings in the field grew higher and higher day by day.

In autumn, the wheat sprouts finally bear heavy ears.

The people and the soldiers of the Eastern Expeditionary Army were excited, they rolled up their sleeves and soaked in the fields, and harvested wheat day and night, not to mention how energetic they were.

On the other side, Chen Jun was still stretching his neck in anticipation, wondering when Chen Jun couldn't stand it and took the initiative to surrender?

They also deliberately grilled meat in the open space, fanned the wind vigorously, and used the wind to send the aroma of the barbecue to the sentry tower, hoping to starve the sentries of the Crusade Army on the sentry tower.

On the sentry tower, the two sentinels smelled the aroma of roasted meat, but they were unmoved.

They had in their hands the meat buns that had just been delivered by the gang leader, and the dough was flour ground from the newly harvested wheat, not to mention how fragrant it was.

The two chatted while eating.

"What kind of wind are those Chen people smoking?"

"Who knows about them? Sick!"

The soldiers of the Chen State spent a long time and sweated all over, but they still didn't see any movement on the sentry tower, and they couldn't help but start scolding.

But because they used the Chenguo dialect, the sentries on the sentry tower couldn't understand a word.
