Other supplies in the city, such as medicine, food, oil and cannonballs, were basically gone.

The worst thing is that Liu Chengshou is very clear about their predicament!

The dog turned out to be the governor of the city, and he knew everything about the stone head. The most difficult point of fighting a war is knowing oneself and knowing the other, if Zhao Guangzhi knew that the city had long been exhausted, he would not have left after only three days.

But this is not a problem for Liu Chengshou at all!

A few days ago, he even ransacked the stone skull with his own hands, sweeping away the money, food, and supplies.

Liu Chengshou knew very well that the reserves of the stone head could not last for seven days at all!

A soldier rushed up from below the city and whispered:

"Wang Dahu just donated 300 catties of grain."

Others look sideways:

At this time, there are still people hiding food?

Yang Shoubei looked down at the city, and sure enough, there was a board car rolling by, carrying three sacks. There were seven or eight people on the side, looking at their demeanor unknowingly, and thought that they were guarding the treasure.

Yang Shoubei immediately said, "Collect it in the warehouse, don't get wet by the rain."

"Yes."

In fact, everyone thinks that Yang Shoubei has said more. There are only 300 catties of grain, and if you can't wait for mold, you will advance everyone's belly.

The herald did not receive the order to leave, but continued:

"The people in the city noticed a new face, dangling outside the barracks, and chatting with the residents of East Street to find out about the situation of Shi Guantou."

At this moment, the army and the people are of the same mind, and the vigilance of the common people is very high.

"Arrested?" Yang Shoubei was not worried but happy. He can catch the female trunk, and he can learn more about the enemy forces outside the city.

"Captain Wu went to arrest someone, but the man turned around the stable and disappeared. Captain Wu is searching nearby."

Yang Shoubei nodded, but he didn't take it to heart.

The surname Liu was originally the city guard here, and there are a few henchmen here, so it's not surprising.

He looked out at the dark woodland outside the city, and behind the swaying shadows of the trees seemed to hide a hideous demon.

How do you get through this?

He thought for a moment and instructed his subordinates: "Order, when the thunderstorm comes again, we will go out of the city to attack and disturb."

Even though they were defending the city, they could not curl up in the city and not go out, so that the opponent could be comfortable and besiege the stone head.

The initiative cannot be completely in the hands of the enemy, otherwise the stone head will really be finished.

Besides, there is a shortage of supplies in Shizhoutou, if you go out of the city to fight a few autumn winds, maybe you can grab something from Liu Chengshou's garrison?

"Yes!" His subordinates hated and said, "Liu Chengshou that dog thing, he doesn't dare to fight you head-on, he wants to trap us to death."

……

Three days later, ten miles southwest of Shizhoutou.

There was an abandoned inn, and half of the main building had collapsed, but there were six or seven rooms in the back, one of which had a small tree growing on its roof.

He Lingchuan and Dong Rui made an appointment to meet here.

Wan Qifeng quickly said hello to Dong Rui and went to settle his men.

The rain had just stopped, but the water from the manger and the well could not be used, so men had to be sent to the stream to fetch water.

"Why did you go so long?"

"Pengguo also encountered heavy rain, the mountain collapsed, Wan Qifeng detoured, and was two days late." He Lingchuan walked into the dilapidated house and shook off the rain from his cloak, "You went into the stone and heard anything new?"

"I sneaked in three days ago, there are about 40,000 residents in Shiguantou, and there will be no more than 500 soldiers under Yang Garrison."

"There are so many people, so few soldiers?" He Lingchuan was a little surprised, "With such a small number of people, Yang Meng can guard the stone head?"

Five hundred soldiers are enough for him, but just because he is enough doesn't mean that others can.

Yang Meng has withstood the two armies of Zhao Guangzhi and Liu Chengshou, and it seems that there is something under his hands.

"When Zhao Guangzhi attacked, Liu Chengshou dropped the stone and ran away by himself, and the people of the whole city knew that if they couldn't defend it, it would be a dead end, so they all supported Yang Meng's garrison. Or dig out the bottom of the cellar and hide it

The last bit of food is either to go to the city gate to help defend it, and even the old and weak women and children will help mend their clothes and armor, make arrows, and work together."

Dong Rui continued: "Yang Meng even invited Zhao Guangzhi to go head-to-head, but Zhao Guangzhi didn't do it."

"Zhao Guangzhi knows he can fight?"

"Maybe you know." You have to do some homework before attacking a city, right? "Yang Meng is very famous in Shiguantou, and he once defeated seven or eight army leaders by himself."

He Lingchuan then asked, "What about this time?"

"Liu Chengshou came back to pick peaches, and of course Shi Guantou was also very angry, but I asked seven or eight people, and in addition to spitting and disdain, it seems that I didn't have the determination to defend to the end last time. Probably because Zhao Guangzhi even wants people to bring money, and although Liu Chengshou robbed his own people, although it was outrageous, he only scraped money and did not eat people, and he was a local official, and the people had no intention of fighting him to the end."

He Lingchuan shook his head: "Liu Chengshou can sell them once, and he can sell them two or three times in the future."

What does "castle guard" mean? Officials who cannot fulfill their responsibilities are still eligible to stay in office?

"I think Yang Meng is also mobilizing and propagating the people like this, but you know, the catastrophe is ahead, and few people can think about it so long-term." Dong Rui took out the water bladder and poured a sip, "The situation in the stone head is not good, after repelling Zhao Guangzhi, the materials will basically be used up, although Yang Meng organized people to go outside to purchase, it is also a drop in the bucket. And I saw in the rocks that the trees were all bare, without leaves, and in some cases even bark."

Now it is spring, the season for the trees to sprout, but the people of Shitou have picked all the leaves and eaten them, and even the bark of the trees can be ground into powder to quench hunger.

"It was three days ago." Dong Rui said slowly, "During the time you left, Liu Chengshou attacked twice, and once he almost smashed the city gate open. He also shouted to the city, saying that the first thing he did after entering the city was to raise the fire and make a big pot of rice, and invite the people of the city to eat beautifully. I saw that the soldiers at the city gate were all snorting violently. Tsk, this guy can't do it, and he knows how to attack the heart."

After hearing this, He Lingchuan immediately asked, "Did Yang Meng go out of the city to attack?"

This kind of opportunity should not be missed by good generals.

"Yes, he also attacked Liu Chengshou's camp twice, both in the second half of the night and at dawn, and he also successfully looted some supplies and went back." Dong Rui said with a smile, "Liu Chengshou was originally stationed fifty zhang away from the city gate, so he had to order the camp to be relocated to two hundred zhang to guard it to the death."

"Yes, yes." He Lingchuan nodded, "Liu Chengshou is not very good at fighting, but he has an advantage in numbers."

Liu Cheng was stationed outdoors, but Yang Meng was stationed in the fortified city, which was more suitable for this small-scale tactic of disrupting the camp and exhausting the enemy. The enemy is always disturbed by attacks at night, and has no energy during the day, and it is easy to turn into a frightened bird if he comes a few times.

The question is, Liu Chengshou and Yang Meng, who can carry it to the end?

He Lingchuan asked again, "What about the situation on Liu Chengshou's side?"

Dong Rui's bat is a good hand at spying on intelligence.
