Tang Fu took the rest of the soldiers towards Liangzhu City, counting the number of people while fleeing, he lost another thousand people in the melee just now, and now only two thousand people are left to follow him.

Tang Fu didn't dare to stay, and hurried towards Liangzhu City overnight, which was his base camp.

Tanghai Tangbo at the east gate is very strange, why is there no sound inside?

The soldiers who climbed the top of the wall came back to report it.

"Two princes! We climbed up the wall and found it empty, only with torches stuck in it. ”

Under the protection of the guards, Tang Bo and Tang Hai entered Hongshan City from the east gate, and the commanders at the north gate and the south gate also came to report the news.

It was also empty, except for torches.

Tang Bo Tang Hai is very strange, why is this happening?

At this time, the ruler of the west also ran over.

"Prince! They broke through the siege and fled! ”

"Nonsense, they blocked the city gate with earth and stones, and they couldn't get out at all!"

"They really went out of the west gate, and they removed the earth and stones of the west gate a long time ago."

"What about the battle damage?"

"The enemy suffered more than 500 casualties, 1,000 of our casualties, and 1,000 wounded by the stampede."

"Rubbish! Rubbish! ”

Tang Hai was very angry, he could have dealt with Tang Fu once and for all, but now he let him escape.

When he returns, it will be another fierce battle.

Now he has only 16,000 men left, and 4,000 wounded.

This battle can be said to be painful, and it took so much effort to get only one Red Mountain City.

Tang Bo comforted his younger brother.

"At least there is still a Red Mountain City, and our supplies are not enough, so we can replenish our supplies in Red Mountain City."

But when Tang Bo and Tang Hai came to the warehouse, both of them were stunned.

The warehouse is empty!

"How did Tang Fu do it? Why is there nothing left? Red Mountain City shouldn't look like this! ”

Tang Hai couldn't understand it, but that's what it was.

His advisers suggested: "It is impossible for the grain to disappear out of thin air, Tang Fu can't take so many things with him, there is only one possibility, that is, they have hidden these things, but such a big city, where can they hide it?" There are only the people's houses. ”

"Then go door-to-door and borrow! Find a way to fill up the warehouse too! ”

"Second brother, look, do you want to go to White Bird City to transport some food back?"

"No problem, let's scavenge for food in the city first, and if it really doesn't work, then we will transport food."

Soldiers went door to door knocking on doors to ask for food, but by the end only a tenth of the warehouse had been filled.

"We couldn't last five days. Second brother, you still have to go to White Bird City to get some food back, and I will also go to Taosi to find some food, and when we take Liangzhu City, everything will be fine." ”

"No problem, we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

It was simply wishful thinking that they wanted food, and the White Bird Tao Temple had already been taken by the Tang army, and it was impossible for them to take anything from Li Chengzhou.

Under the shock of the soldiers' strong siege, Taosi City still has no sign of riots.

The shadow guard who followed Tang Bo saw what was happening on the battlefield and hurriedly sent someone to bring the latest information to Li Chengzhou.

Early the next morning, the shadow guard returned to Taosi City and reported yesterday's battle report to Li Chengzhou.

"It's such a waste, it's so hard to storm a city, let's wait until now. Uncle, what should we do next? ”

"They should be sending someone back to inspect the city or transport supplies in the near future."

"Whoever comes, who dies!"

"You go back and find a way to tell Tang Bo, it's better for him to find a way to leave from Red Mountain City now, we have to find a way to get in touch with Tang Fu now, and attack Red Mountain City again with Tang Fu."

The shadow guard got the order and quickly left to find Tang Fu.

Outside, another soldier came to report it.

"Your Majesty, Bronze City and Ferry City have each selected a thousand soldiers, and they have come to White Bird City."

"Oh, so fast. Your Majesty, we should divide the troops into three routes, Taosi all the way, White Bird all the way, and all the way to Liangzhu City, and finally the three roads of soldiers and horses to surround the Red Mountain. ”

"Okay, it's all up to my uncle."

"Now these three soldiers need a commander, the captain can wait in Taosi City, and the battle axe has to take the Royal Forest Army to Liangzhu City with you, and the problem now is that there is no commander in White Bird City."

"This commander needs to withstand the pressure, if something happens at that time, he may face a siege of more than 10,000 troops, and these three commanders only have more than 3,000 soldiers in their hands to use. Does Your Majesty have the right person in mind? ”

"I don't know much about this, I'm not very familiar with the generals in the army, why don't I invite General Meng over and let him choose someone?"

"That's fine, let's go find General Meng together!"

Meng Biao looked at the two people standing in front of him.

"You can choose whoever you want, and they should be all right."

"General Meng should choose one person, if something goes wrong, it will be a siege of 10,000 people! If you lose one, it won't be a small problem at that time. ”

Meng Biao thought for a moment.

"In fact, the shadow guards can be sent out to be competent for this task, and even Jin Ding can barely do it, but now Wang Ping has the strongest strategic and tactical awareness among the various commanders."

"General Wang? Didn't you deal with him? ”

Li Chengzhou was a little surprised, he didn't expect Meng Biao to recommend Wang Ping, but he turned his head and glanced at Fang Changge, sitting there very calmly, as if all this was in his expectation.

"If you don't deal with it, you can't deal with it, but his ability is not low, he is familiar with the art of war, and he is proficient in eighteen kinds of martial arts, so it can be said that it is easy to handle you."

"But..."

"But what?"

"Did I say before that he was sent by the First Emperor to monitor us, but now that the general situation is in our hands, he has not made any moves, at the beginning, he was still a little small, but now he is directly silent."

"Yes, General Wang didn't move at all, and he couldn't even see his extraordinary talent."

"That's because he's hiding it, but if you have to be stable, Wang Ping is definitely the best choice. I recommend Wang Ping. ”

"Then send General Wang, we are grasshoppers with the same rope length now, there should be no problem."

Meng Biao nodded, and Fang Changge turned to leave.

"Since it has been decided, then the troops will be divided into three routes, and the captain will divide the troops, and we will set off immediately, and rush to wait for Tang Bo's army outside Hongshan City before dark."

Meng Biao looked at Fang Changge, who was far away: "Fang Lao naturally knows that Wang Ping is the best, but he is afraid that I will have a bad heart, so he wants me to say it myself." ”

"So you want General Wang to go?"

"Of course you want to go, he's the best candidate! Your Majesty, let's take a deliberative step. ”
