Grandpa Guo said that there was really no extra manpower to support, but he would immediately send someone to send enough food and grass to him, so that he would not be impetuous, and it would not matter if he spent more time attacking the city, and strive to take the city with the least casualties.

This coincides with Jiang Che's strategy of letting people dig tunnels now.

It stands to reason that this grain and grass should arrive today.

After all, this side is only about five hundred miles away from the main battlefield on Grandpa Guo's side, which is a few days away.

I guess it'll be tomorrow.

Jiang Che didn't think too much about it, looked at the high city wall in the distance, and continued to think about the siege strategy.

It stands to reason that this grain and grass should arrive today.

The next day, Jiang Che commanded some of the soldiers to cover, and some of the soldiers continued to dig tunnels.

The tunnel has been dug under the base of the city wall, and if he is given a few more days, the foundation of that section of the city wall will be completely loosened, and the city wall may tilt or collapse at that time, which is the time to attack the city.

By the time the sun set, Jiang Che's expected food delivery team had not yet arrived.

Jiang Che felt a little unusual.

The commander-in-chief of the generalissimo of this war is his own grandfather, if it is someone else, Jiang Che will suspect that this is deliberately cheating him, he has heard people say that there are many such things in the army, but grandfather will never pit him!

Moreover, there is no shortage of grain and grass on Grandpa Guo's side.

Not to mention that Da Chu has been preparing for war, and there is plenty of grain and grass, along the way, every time they fight a city, all the grain and grass in the city must be taken away.

In the case that there is no shortage of food and it is impossible for my grandfather to pit himself, it can only be that something happened to the team that delivered the food.

After Jiang Che figured it out, he immediately sent a few scouts to let them explore along the road, and if they didn't find a supply team, they had to immediately ask Grandpa Guo to send grain and grass over.

The scouts were sent out, but Jiang Che was not at ease.

If the grain and grass cannot be delivered as soon as possible, the army will run out of food in two days.

Grandpa Guo's base camp is about five hundred miles away from here, and it will take two or three days for the scouts to go even if they are fast horses, and then wait for the grain and grass to come, it will be seven or eight days later.

In other words, the worst-case scenario is that they will have to go without food for at least five or six days.

In five or six days, people should be almost hungry.

Jiang Che frowned, and now he had several options.

First, save food and grass, eat one meal a day, lead 5,000 soldiers to retreat to the direction of the base camp, and the cities in the rear are all defeated, and there is basically no danger along the way, that is, a little starvation.

Second, immediately attack the city, within two days, take the city, and there will naturally be grain and grass in the city.

Third, continue the previous siege plan, continue to dig tunnels, and the grain and grass may arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

What is difficult to judge now is where the grain and grass are and how long it will take to arrive.

Sixteen-year-old Jiang Che looked at the dark night and couldn't make a decision for a while.

His decision will make or break the life and death of these 5,000 people, and he must be very careful.

The next day, Jiang Che sent to each battalion that the rations had been slightly reduced, and he had to make some preparations.

After breakfast, he ordered to continue digging the tunnel.

He decided to wait one day, if the food and grass hadn't arrived before the sun set today, then he would have to choose one of the two options.

The sun slowly sank into the horizon, and there was still no trace of grain and grass.

Jiang Che knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make a decision immediately.

Retreat is naturally the safest option, save food to eat, they will starve, but they will certainly not starve.
