Chapter 406: Reinforcements
"But how many days can you defend the city? There is not enough food and grass in the city! ”
Dou Ran frowned and said.
There is not much food in Guangling County, at most enough for them to eat for a few days.
Just as Dou Ran's voice fell, the subordinates on the side couldn't help frowning slightly, and at this moment, someone else proposed.
"Who says there's no food?"
"Oh?"
At this moment, everyone was stunned, only to see this subordinate, and opened his mouth to say.
"In my opinion, isn't there food everywhere in the city?"
"How could we not have food?"
"This ......"
For a while, everyone reacted.
The food he speaks of is not anything else.
It's human flesh.
Well, in the ancient city defense warfare, in the absence of food, if you really can't find anything to eat, then the vast majority of people will think of a way, this way is to kill people and eat human flesh!
Historically, there have been too many examples of this.
At this point, when the guy's voice fell.
For a while, everyone present couldn't help but show a look of panic on their faces.
It feels creepy.
At the same time, Dou Ran felt that this method was really good.
The reason is simple.
What happened to human flesh?
As long as you can survive.
As long as you can defend Guangling County, then all efforts are possible.
I saw it, and Dou Ran opened his mouth and said.
"This is indeed the way!"
"However, the people of Guangling are all the people of our Chu State......"
On the side, a subordinate frowned and reminded.
Guangling was originally the territory of the Chu State, and the people here are all so-called Chu people, and it is inevitable that some people are reluctant to attack the people of these countries.
Hearing this, Dou Ran let out a sneer, and he opened his mouth to say.
"What about the Chu people?"
"For the sake of the country of Chu!"
"In order to revive our Great Chu, then, just a few people died, what is it?"
"Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu!"
"Now, let them pay some price, is it reluctant?"
"This ......"
For a while, Dou Ran's voice fell at the moment.
Everyone, it's hard to make any more rebuttals.
And Dou Ran is pondering.
After having these "grains".
They were probably able to hold out for a while, but soon someone came up with a new opinion, and only he was heard.
"However, I heard that Qin Kou now has cannons, which are extremely powerful, if they bombard them with cannons, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out for long, right?"
"What's more, the lonely city is not defended, now we are guarding a lonely city, once Qin Kou comes to attack, then, even if we can resist for a while in the future, but when Qin Kou breaks the city, it is us, and when we die, this, isn't this just sticking to the city and waiting for death here?"
"Qin Kou's cannon, don't worry, Qin Kou is now on a light horse, how can there be a cannon among the cavalry?"
"That's right!"
As soon as they heard this, everyone who was still worried suddenly turned happy, if Qin Kou didn't have a cannon, it would undoubtedly be good news for them, but then, everyone still had their own worries, and only heard someone say.
"However, Qin Kou doesn't have a cannon, but how long do we have to defend it?"
"And, after defending the city, where will there be reinforcements?"
"Haha, don't worry about this!"
Dou Ran laughed a few times, and then said.
"Now we are doing something in Guangling, in the future, on the land of Chu, there will be countless places, things, when the time comes, the Qin people will either be tired of dealing with it, running around, to deal with our people, or they will always besiege us, but our reinforcements should arrive!"
Dou Ran's voice fell.
For a moment, everyone's faces couldn't help but change slightly.
However, what Dou Ran said does have some truth.
Now, they're the opposite.
Then, at this time, there should be uprisings everywhere.
In such a situation.
There will always be a reinforcement army that will come to their aid.
Just as these people were discussing here, a hurried footsteps came in from outside, and immediately, I saw someone coming to report it.
"Oh no, no, Qin Kou is here, Qin Kou is here!"
For a while, everyone's faces changed suddenly, and Dou Ran did not dare to have the slightest slackness, he hurriedly walked away, wearing bronze armor, and then, with a bronze sword in his hand, walked towards the city wall.
On the city wall of Guangling.
When he saw the groups of Qin cavalry that appeared outside the city, Dou Ran was terrified for a while, and he immediately made a decision, that is, to quickly send people, and then strictly defend the city, and not let Qin Kou conquer the city.
And just when Dou Ran was making these preparations.
Ying Changsheng was also looking at Guangling City, and asked the officers next to him.
"Guangling City, it looks very sturdy!"
"Yes, Nineteen Princes, this place has always belonged to an important place of governance, and the city is naturally slightly stronger!"
The officer next to him couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and said in agreement.
Although the passage of the typhoon caused some damage to the city of Guangling, it was still so strong, and it was not easy for the cavalry to conquer this city for Ying Changsheng, who had traveled lightly.
Seeing that, Ying Changsheng's brows were locked, and he said in a thoughtful way.
"Is it easy to conquer this city?"
"It's not easy!"
The officer next to him shook his head and said.
Of course, it is not easy for them to storm this city.
The reason is very simple, the city in front of you is not difficult to overcome.
The main thing is the difficulty.
At the moment, for them who came to the city wall, their weapons were really not good.
Their weapons are not very good, they don't have sophisticated long-range weapons, and they don't have those cannons.
Under such circumstances, it is naturally much more difficult to conquer the county seat of Guangling in front of you.
So at this time, everyone couldn't help frowning.
I only heard that an officer stood up and said to Ying Changsheng.
"Nineteen princes, now we came in a hurry, we really didn't have it, we carried too many weapons, and we didn't bring a single cannon or anything, just let the cavalry join the siege of the city, I am afraid that the casualty rate will be very high, and it is extremely difficult to break the city......
"Well...... this"
Ying Changsheng frowned slightly, realizing that the situation was not optimistic, and after hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth and said.
"It's not a good thing to have no siege equipment!"
After that, Ying Changsheng thought carefully and looked at the city wall, at this moment, he raised the clairvoyant mirror, that is, the telescope, and looked at the city wall a few times, and suddenly, his face showed a look of surprise.
"Is that a trebuchet?"
"Not bad!"
Following the direction of Ying Changsheng's finger, the officers on the side looked over and said one after another.
In the distance, on the city wall, there were several trebuchets, seeing this, Ying Changsheng bowed slightly, and then said.
"Our army also builds trebuchets!"
