However, they also guessed that even if the people in this were not from the imperial court, at least they were closely related to the imperial court.

After all, many of the actions of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce now, to put it bluntly, are to help the court wipe their butts.

These food problems should have been solved by the officials of the imperial court. But now it's all up to the people of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, and the people of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce are helping to deal with it.

I just don't know what benefits these people from the Shadow Chamber of Commerce have given to the imperial court, and they can actually let the imperial court directly give them these things.

If it's just to destroy the price of food, a few of them can do it......

These heads of the house thought they could do it. But after thinking about it carefully, I found one thing sadly, and that was that they really couldn't do it.

If the price of food is moved, it is equivalent to being the enemy of other families. If it is because one of them has broken the existing rules of food prices, then the first thing these families have done is to clean up the portal.

And at this time, in Lone Ye City

"Rush, give it to me! The first one to climb the city wall will have a bounty of one hundred taels!" A general said, standing behind a group of soldiers.

That group of soldiers looked at the city wall of Guye City, which had obviously been repaired in front of them, and finally had to bite the bullet, directly take their shields, and rush forward.

They were greeted by an overwhelming rain of arrows, which naturally made a tinkling sound when they hit the shield, which was extremely pleasant. But in the ears of the shield-wielding soldiers, the voice sounded like a life-threatening one.

Soon the first wounded appeared, with a terrible howl.

It turned out to be an arrow that pierced through the gap in the shield and landed directly on the left shoulder of a soldier. The soldier howled, raised his shield, and exposed half of his body and the small half of his companion's body.

Then, there was a series of howls.

More than a dozen soldiers in that area were killed in an instant, and they were obviously all shot into hedgehogs by arrows. As miserable as it is, as miserable as it is, this kind of appearance, others are frightened.

Although the bounty of 100 taels is extremely tempting, everyone else knows that this money is only afraid that it will be taken and not spent.

However, these people are all elite soldiers carefully selected by the king of Hejian County, and their strength is naturally guaranteed. Of course, things like courage are also guaranteed, otherwise how could the Beijiang battalion give priority to transporting them across the river?

So then a lot of people rushed up one after another, obviously to fill the gaps in those soldiers.

And with the arrival of those soldiers, the gap in the original vacant shield array was quickly filled. Then naturally form a formation, and then rush forward.

The first echelons actually went to die, but the generals never said such words.

At this time, the second echelon of people in the opposite camp had already begun to be formed. Obviously, it is prepared that after the tortoiseshell array of the first echelon is consumed, the tortoiseshell array of the second echelon can quickly step on the bones of the first batch of people and rush up.

"The king of Hejian on the other side is really powerful, this is obviously preparing to fight to the death. ”

Monco looked at the people below and said, Obviously, for these guys, Monco is also extremely troublesome. Just now, I lost a lot of arrows here, and as a result, I lost a dozen people on the other side, which is extremely uneconomical.

You must know that the current Lonely Ye City is already a lonely city, and many of the materials in it are extremely precious, and they are a little less.

"I'll shoot arrows into the opposite camp, we don't want to stop these tortoiseshell formations from advancing. These soldiers in the tortoiseshell formation, let them climb the city wall and kill them again. ”

Monco said directly, although it was said that this would cause some casualties among their men. But relying on the city walls, coupled with the strength of the forbidden army, it is not a problem to kill these rebels.

The other soldiers also got the order, and they all raised their crosshairs a little, and with a "release", three thousand arrows flew towards the opponent's camp as if they had eyes.

In an instant, there were hundreds of people lying down in the opposite camp, and it was obvious that the rebels on the opposite side did not realize that the defenders in the city would target them.

By the time they reacted, the defenders on the opposite side had already fired four rounds of arrows.

At this time, the rebel army here could be regarded as reacting, hurriedly raising their shields, and began to block those arrows falling from the sky. But unfortunately, there is not much use.

After all, the heavy shields that can cover the whole body are used by people in the siege team, and now they only have some leather shields in their hands, and most of these leather shields are used to defend against swords and hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, the protective area of the shield is very small, which leads to the fact that even if the soldiers on the opposite side react, they can't reduce much loss.

Of course, these things are secondary. The main thing is that they have lost a lot of people now.

The imperial court's control over the rebellious army can be said to be extremely strict, once it is found that the city cannot be defended, they all use the policy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, even if they capture a county seat, they will get white land.

From the Beijiang River of King Jingnan to the current Guye City, they have not received even a little supply.

This already made the generals under the King of Hejian a little angry, after all, they could not get enough food from the enemy, which meant that they were likely to spend a greater price to transport the food for the entire army from the territory of the King of Hejian.

This is not a small number, even if it can be supplied on the Hejian Plain, but the capacity of the Beijiang camp is limited.

And in the eyes of the king of Hejian County, the current power of the king of Jingnan is a second or five boys.

Under the coercion of the third prince of Jingnan Wangfu, the Beijiang battalion may help them transport food and soldiers. But at most, this can be regarded as the third prince of Jingnan who agreed to their rebellion, and it does not mean that King Jingnan supports them.

The territory of the King of Jingnan, the real master, is always the King of Jingnan. Instead of this ambitious and talented third son, the reason why such a third son came out is entirely because King Jingnan is still unclear about his current position.

This old guy obviously wants to jump sideways from side to side, and when the time comes, he will see who is not in good shape, so he will step on it hard.

If the imperial court can quickly defeat the rebel army now, then the Beijiang camp will be quickly purged. The final result was that the generals of the Beijiang battalion, who supported the transportation, became the vanguard army of the bandits.

And the most important thing for them now is to completely open up the channel of Guye City, and then let the rebels quickly get out of the customs and directly cross the entire Western Qin. Only in this way did those hateful officials not have time to use the strategy of clearing the wilderness.

And if Guye City holds on for a few months, then food will be a big problem. The most important thing is that there is indeed a large amount of grain hoarded on the Hejian Plain, and the good people on the Hejian Plain are also very supportive of independence, but there is always a certain amount.

In order to maintain so many troops under the King of Hejian County, it is obviously completely insufficient to rely on the food that the King of Hejian has stored before. At least in the eyes of a few generals, it is clearly not enough.

The most important problem now is to solve the problem of grain and grass in the rear, and there is also the problem of other weapons.

"Haven't the siege equipment been delivered yet?" Seeing the heavy losses of his subordinates, the calm expression on the general's face finally couldn't hold back.

"The shield cart should arrive in two days, but we can make trebuchets from local materials. One lieutenant said immediately.

When he heard that the shield cart would arrive in two days, the general's face was completely black. But when he heard that there was still a trebuchet to use, his eyes lit up instantly.

He then ordered the attacking team on the opposite side to withdraw and began to send the team out to cut wood.

"Sun Yuanshou, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Don't look at your majesty now, but it is not far from your death, and when the imperial court purgizes the forces of King Jingnan, the transportation channel of your Beijiang camp will be cut off. Meng Ke said with a smile, "If you can't get the soldiers to replenish you, just wait to die under this lonely city." ”

Because of the use of spiritual power, this voice also traveled far away.

Sun Yuanshou glanced at Meng Ke on the city wall and said, "Meng Ke, I advise you, wash your neck and wait, there are 3,000 defenders in your city, I have 40,000 soldiers and horses in my hands now, tomorrow it will be 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the day after tomorrow it will be 100,000, and I can't take your small Guye City." ”

After that, the two of them scolded each other in the void, but this kind of scolding obviously didn't have any effect.

On the contrary, the morale of the military under both sides has been shaken to a certain extent. Now these two armies are trapped in each other's base camps, and neither has the ability to protect themselves, so they can only mock each other.

Meng Ke's face was not very good-looking, because he knew that what Sun Yuanshou said was the truth.

Although the forbidden army is said to be a lot, 100,000 is also made up. But now it is completely impossible to mobilize 100,000 forbidden troops to fight with Sun Yuanshou's 100,000 army.

Both sides lack the conditions for a decisive battle, unless there is a place where both sides must be contested.

Lone Ye City has this potential, but it is not yet. The other two export cities also need to be defended, so the final result is that they are here as Sun Yuanshou said on the other side, and they get extremely limited help.

"General, a large number of troops have appeared behind us, and these troops have all come from the Hejian County Palace. One of the soldiers said, "Our vanguard scouts have already sent back the news, it is estimated that they have arrived at the bottom of Lone Ye City, that is, within three days, we must figure out a way to get out before this." ”

The soldier clearly had no hope of holding on.

Monco frowned, tempting to reprimand the soldier. But thinking that what this soldier said does have some truth, now in this situation in Guye City, I don't want to come up with a way to break through, I'm afraid that the army will be unstable.

And the problem is not big now, if the two sides start hand-to-hand combat, there will be a lot of wounded soldiers. How to deal with these wounded soldiers is also an extremely serious problem, after all, if these wounded soldiers are placed in the same barracks as ordinary soldiers, then it will definitely affect the morale of the army.

If there is a separate isolation, then the inner city is the best choice. But now, sooner or later, it will be necessary to evacuate to the inner city, and it will affect the morale of the army at that time.

Meng Ke also knew that this was a problem that needed to be faced now, and when the food and herbs hoarded in the city were all consumed, the situation would become even more unoptimistic.

And at this time, there was a sudden commotion in Sun Yuanshou's camp on the opposite side. Then the three thousand elite horsemen rushed directly past the opponent's camp with a bloody whirlwind.

At this time, there was also a burst of smoke in Sun Yuanshou's camp, obviously things like grain and grass were ignited. The moment he saw these people, Monko knew that help was coming.

"Open the city gates, Xuancheng, you take a thousand men and horses out to meet you. ”

When he saw these three thousand people, Meng Ke was also relieved. Although it is said that there are 3,000 cavalry, it is better than nothing, and if it is replaced by foot soldiers, it is not so fast.

And the reinforcements in the future will be even more difficult, and these 3,000 cavalry can be said to be the last force on their side.

It's just that when Monco brought in the general on the other side, his face was not good-looking. Because this Han Chui's face is as ugly as if he is a dead mother.

"I said Han Fu, not really. Didn't you just ask you to come and defend the city?

Meng Ke said with a smile, after all, there are three thousand more people, and this Lonely Ye City can be defended a little longer. This is rare good news recently, and when this person came, he must have brought enough food and grass.

"You know the, our formation mage was killed by someone else. ”

Han Fu's face was ugly, his formation mage was different from the formation mages in other places, he was the elite of the military aircraft battalion, but when he was rushing into the formation just now, he was directly stabbed to death by someone else.

"Isn't it a formation mage? we have it here, and besides, we don't need a formation here. ”

Meng Ke still smiled, it is a relatively common thing to have a formation mage in the military formation, but it is only limited to the elite. However, in this situation, the logistics are tight, and there are not enough materials to arrange the formation, so the formation mage is dispensable, and he still has two formation mages under him.

"It's the formation mage who arranged the teleportation array, and then the marshal will send supplies over in a steady stream, and now this formation mage is dead. Han Chui felt that this guy Meng Ke was hopeless.
