The calm before the storm, the entire Tongguan was shrouded in shadows. Everyone outside the pass is also preparing for the battle, Chai Rong has not slept for three days, he knows that the other party will attack, after the last siege, although Tongguan won a big victory, but compared to 80,000 troops, two or three thousand people are not important at all.

What worries Chai Rong the most is that Liu Chengyou did not continue to send troops to attack the city, he is not so stupid as you think, or Murong Yanzhao can't bear to see his soldiers sacrifice in vain, but as long as Liu Chengyou is still, it will be bad news for Tongguan, Chai Rong hopes that he will attack the city, and hopes that he will let thousands of people come to die every time, only in this way can Tongguan win a big victory.

It's a pity that Liu Chengyou didn't do what everyone thought, there must be a reason. Did the sacrifice of thousands of people make Liu Chengyou wake up?

It has been a full month and a half since the last siege, and the grain in Tongguan has bottomed out. Wang Jingchong did not send new food, Chai Rong's worst fear happened, Wang Jingchong lost Liu Chengyou's support, he had no spare strength to feed the 30,000 horses in Tongguan, but he was afraid that there would be no food to send in the future.

If it continues like this, I am afraid that in a few days and a half at most, it will be self-defeating without Liu Chengyou attacking Tongguan. 30,000 people is a huge number, and it is not easy to feed so many people. I don't know where Tianya is going to borrow food, but one thing is certain, Tianya won't come too soon.

Chai Rong and Wang Jun sat together to discuss, Tongguan can barely support now, but after a few days of food is eaten, I am afraid that the soldiers in Tongguan will start to rebel.

"Chai Rong, it's not a way to go on like this. It's okay for us to be hungry for a few meals, but the soldiers can't fight as long as they don't eat a meal, and now they can still eat steamed buns and rice, and in a few days they will only have to boil porridge. I really don't dare to boil porridge, as long as porridge appears in the barracks, the soldiers will know that there is no extra food in Tongguan. ”

Chai Rong sighed: "The end of the world has been gone for half a month, and I don't know what the situation is. But no matter where he goes to borrow food, it will take time for the food to be delivered, and if he can't do it, he will have to surrender. ”

Both of them know very well in their hearts that today's Tongguan can be said to have no way to go to the sky, no door to enter the ground, grandma does not hurt, and uncle does not love. The existence of Tongguan is only to attract Liu Chengyou's attention, and the survival of Tongguan is of no importance to the whole world, so no one will waste money and food to reinforce Tongguan, because they do not have this spare strength.

Lei Hong is now doing his best to help Guo Wei recruit troops in Chang'an, and Zhao Jing is too picky to be reluctant to spend money on Tongguan. In the eyes of everyone, Tongguan should have surrendered a long time ago, as long as Chai Rong and the others could escape from Tongguan, there was no need to defend it at all.

But Chai Rong didn't think so, if he couldn't even defend the strong Tongguan, what use would this kind of general have? For his own honor, and of course, the life and death of the 30,000 soldiers in Tongguan, Chai Rong had to defend it to the death. Because Liu Chengyou's personality is too extreme, even if Tongguan surrenders, those who are generals will be beheaded, and Liu Chengyou will even order the slaughter of the city, and at least half of the soldiers in Tongguan will die.

Wang Jun has known Chai Rong for many years, he knows Chai Rong's temper very well, Chai Rong will never escape, and he will never abandon these 30,000 soldiers for his own life. After all, he is Guo Wei's righteous son, and he has been educated by Guo Wei since he was a child, if he doesn't even have this integrity, Guo Wei has taught him for so many years.

Wang Pu said: "The two of them are really worried, Tianya is a disciple of Master Zongxin, don't look at him less than 10 years old, but he will definitely be able to solve the danger of Tongguan, and the food will be delivered soon." What we should be worried about now is when Liu Chengyou will send troops to attack, and how we should deal with it. ”

"You trust this kid too much, don't you? Wang Jun said: "No matter how powerful he is, he is a child less than 10 years old, how powerful can he be?"

"Do you dare to fight him?" Wang Pu said: "Tianya's martial arts are also sectarian, your three-legged cat's kung fu, you can pass the ten tricks of Tianya, you are powerful." ”

These words really pushed Wang Jun to his throat and couldn't speak, although Wang Jun was in the barracks together, he was not a general, and his martial arts were slightly better than ordinary soldiers. Guo Wei's martial arts he also learned a few tricks, but learning martial arts was too hard, and Wang Jun couldn't work hard.

But Tianya is different, Tianya likes to practice martial arts, his kung fu under martial arts is far more than strategy and resourcefulness, because he is after learning the Nine Seals Yi Pulse Method, the internal strength cultivation has gone up several grades, and a Red Emperor Zhenyuan as the foundation, Tianya's cultivation is far better than Wang Jun, and the two have no need to fight.

Chai Rong said: "As the saying goes, the same surname is three relatives, you are all surnamed Wang, why quarrel every time you meet?"

"He looked down on me. Wang Pu said: "He thinks that I am a peasant and is not qualified to be Guo Wei's prime minister, so he has always hated me, do you want me to give him a good face? ”

Wang Jun didn't speak, which was almost no denial, because he really looked down on Wang Pu. Wang Pu just sent a letter to Master Zongxin, and the person who made him the prime minister was not Guo Wei but Zongxin. Guo Wei was about to raise his army, and he actually made a peasant the prime minister first, how could this convince the public? At least Wang Jun was not convinced, if Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor, the person who became the prime minister should be himself.

"Okay, before the eight characters are skimmed, you are starting to compete for fame and fortune?" Chai Rong said: "What should I say about you? The most important thing now is ......"

"Report ......" Before Chai Rong's words were finished, the herald had already knelt outside the door, as if he had something important to report.

"Speak. ”

"Outside the city was dusty, as if another group of men and horses had come, and it seemed that the situation was heading towards the enemy army. ”

The herald had another bad news, it was not easy to deal with Murong Yanzhao's 80,000 horses now, but someone was coming? Who is it?

"Who's coming?"

"This ......," the herald said, "the military flag can be faintly seen from a distance, and it seems to have 'Yan' written on it. ”

"Murong Yanchao is here?" Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”

The group immediately went to the top of the Tongguan city wall, and looked out of the city with the battlement, and sure enough, there was another group of people, and this team of people and horses came a lot and carried a lot of things. The word 'Yan' was indeed written on the flag, and sure enough, it was Murong Yanchao who came, and the most worrying thing finally happened.

Everyone stood on top of the battlement and gritted their teeth, Chai Rong had long expected that Liu Chengyou would only ask Murong Yanchao to help when he had no choice, but he didn't expect to come so soon, someone must have offered a plan, otherwise Liu Chengyou would have to suffer at least a few defeats before he would think of this King Yan.

It's troublesome to come now, I don't know how many troops he has brought with him, and how many siege equipment he has. If Murong Yanchao commanded the siege, Tongguan would probably not be able to hold it.

In fact, it is not difficult to attack Tongguan, as long as there are enough troops, it is very simple to attack any city. If the city is attacked from all sides, Tongguan will be broken. After all, there are too many people on the other side, as long as one side breaks through and rushes into the city, Tongguan will be over. Where can anyone command the defense on all sides?

"It's over, this time it's really out of the question. Chai Rong said: "Order the whole army to be on guard on all sides." Three thousand people guarded one side, alternating day and night, and Murong Yanchao must not be allowed to take advantage of it. ”

Shi Shouxin said: "Chai Rong, I have an idea......

"Yes, but ...... Kill first. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "Today, the wolf can finally eat a full meal." ”

In fact, Shi Shouxin has long been mentioning this matter, the eighteen horsemen of Youyun are important combat effectiveness, and now the white wolf has left Tongguan with the end of the world, and there are eighteen wolves in Tongguan, these wolves are extremely flexible, and they can run wild on the battlements of the city tower.

But now the Eighteen Riders have one of the biggest problems, the wolves have run out of food, and there is not enough fresh meat to feed them. With Zhao Kuangyin here, these wolves will not go out to bite people.

Shi Shouxin had long proposed that a group of the prisoners he had captured before would rather die than obey and have been locked up in prison. It's useless for these people to live anyway, and it's a waste of food to stay, so it's better to use these people to feed the wolf.

At first, Chai Rong didn't agree, because Chai Rong's character was very good, and it was too cruel to let the wolves eat people alive, and if these wolves were addicted to eating human flesh, it would be a troublesome thing. After all, in Chai Rong's opinion, these wolves are all monsters that are about to become essences, and monsters will be addicted to eating people, and they can improve the way of the wolves.

Now Chai Rong can't manage so much, and the most important thing is to restore the combat effectiveness of the wolves. However, it is still a bit cruel to eat alive, so Chai Rong asked Shi Shouxin to kill and feed first.

Zhao Kuangyin had already proposed it, but Chai Rong had always disagreed. So...... These days the wolves eat the soldiers who were seriously injured during the last siege, and Zhao Kuangyin is not too cruel, he also killed them first and then fed them to the wolves.

Youyun Eighteen Riders don't mind, and the wolf doesn't mind, but Zhao Kuangyin is very happy. The wolf was very happy after eating human flesh, and the taste was good. It's a pity that the seriously injured soldiers are almost finished eating, and Zhao Kuangyin is thinking about what to feed these wolves.

Now it's okay, there are hundreds of people who would rather die than obey, and the wolves can eat with their stomachs open. Not only can it solve some troubles, but it can also save food, and the wolves can also eat all-you-can-eat, which is simply a triple win.

"Zhao Kuangyin, you take Youyun Eighteen Cavalry to guard the north gate, the north gate is close to Weishui, that is our only way to live, we must guard it. Wang Jun led his troops to defend the west city, Shi Shouxin led his troops to defend the east city, and I guarded the south gate to confront the enemy. "Chai Rong has already prepared the places that these people are responsible for, and the most important ones are his south gate and Zhao Kuangyin's north gate. Because there are only these two exits in Tongguan, except for the south gate and the north gate, there are no city gates on the east and west sides.

Zhao Kuangyin took Youyun Eighteen to guard the north gate There is another meaning, if he encounters danger, he can lead his troops to rush out of the north gate, and he takes Youyun Eighteen Cavalry to escort Fu Xuanyi out of Tongguan. The wolf is extremely fast, and very agile, just by the fur on his body is already invulnerable, with the armor is even more unimpeded, as long as Zhao Kuangyin is in the north gate Chai Rong has no worries.
