The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 468 After the War
The soldiers started queuing up to eat, no one jumped in line to grab the food randomly, no one even spoke, one after another, in silence, after eating, sitting on the city wall and began to eat, no one made unnecessary movements during the whole process, because For them who have gone through a day of war, if they didn't die if they didn't eat, they probably wouldn't even bother to eat.

But Changsun Ji didn't care about eating, he checked the things in the city defense one by one, and wrote down what should be supplemented and repaired, and then he relaxed.

After taking a bowl of rice from his personal guard, Changsun Ji ate a few mouthfuls. He was tense for a day, and when he relaxed, he felt his eyelids drooping constantly. Fortunately, he was strong-willed and held on to the bowl. After eating all the food, he endured the nausea, drank two sips of cold water, and pressed the food into his stomach.

It's not that he's not hungry, but that he's already too hungry, and even said that his body instinctively eats and produces a feeling of nausea.

Throwing his rice bowl in a bowl, Changsun Ji stood up, looked at the soldiers under him, and found that almost all the soldiers leaned against the city wall and went to rest with their eyes closed.

Quite a few soldiers didn't even finish their meals, and they fell asleep with food in their mouths.

The personal guard standing behind Changsun Ji, seeing Changsun Ji's eyes looking at these soldiers, thought that Changsun Ji was dissatisfied with this, so he stepped forward and was about to wake them up.

Changsun Ji stretched out his hand to grab the bodyguard, and said softly, "It's been a long day, let them rest. There's no telling when this war will start again."

As he said that, Changsun Ji looked out of the city, and there were almost corpses all over the outside of the city, especially inside the moat, where corpses were densely floating on the river surface.

In this battle, they killed many rebels. Of course, they didn't kill the [-] heads of the rebels as he said at the beginning.

After all, the number of them is here, and each of the more than 1000 soldiers must kill nine soldiers to achieve it.

Although at the beginning even if you just draw a bow and shoot arrows, you can kill the rebels, but in the end, as the number of rebels decreases and the rebels are scattered, it is not possible to take away a rebel with just one arrow. .

I selected some soldiers who hadn't rested yet, and arranged a simple night watch for them, and asked them to patrol the city wall, lest the rebels would take the opportunity to attack at night.

After making all the arrangements, Changsun Ji walked down the city wall, bumped into Cheng Ping head-on, looked at Cheng Ping who was almost hit by him, and asked with concern: "Cheng Ping, are you okay?"

Cheng Ping supported the city wall and stood up. Although he did not go to the city wall to command the battle today, he was not at ease. He organized the people below the city wall to help and coordinate all kinds of supplies.Running back and forth made the soles of his feet go weak.

"Nothing, my lord, are you okay?" Cheng Ping bowed his hands to Changsun Ji and saluted.

Changsun Ji waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

"Just now I have sent some people out of the city to collect some arrow branches. Although they are broken, they can still be used if they are repaired. But these can last for the next two days. After that, if there is no new supplies, Then our supply of bows and arrows is already insufficient." Cheng Ping said to Changsun Ji cupping his hands.

"Mr. hard work. I will mention this to the prince and try to get some supplies. However, there is not only one war point in the capital, so I guess even if it is fought for, it should not be allocated much. So in terms of supplies , we try to consume as little as possible, so let’s consume less.” Changsun Ji said.

Cheng Ping nodded.

The two talked for a while, and then Changsun Ji asked Cheng Ping to rest first, after all there might be a new war.

After parting with Cheng Ping, Changsun Ji rushed straight to the palace, he needed to discuss matters with the prince, and inquired about the other three city gates by the way.

Their Ximen was not the first to fight these rebels, the East had fought two days earlier than them, and now the East Gate was no longer one rebel, but two.

This is also what Changsun Ji is worried about. If there is only one governor of An, relying on the advantages of the capital's terrain, a governor of An is nothing at all, but no one can say for sure whether there will be more rebels coming tomorrow .

This is also the most frustrating thing. If the leader of the rebel army does not gather in the capital and closes the net in advance, the expected effect will not be achieved.When the time comes, they will be wiped out one by one. I don't know how long it will take and how much food and grass will be consumed.

So this time the prince obviously has made a plan, even if the capital falls, he will gather most of the rebels in the capital.

However, for the prince, this is to solve the biggest trouble at the smallest cost, but it is an extremely unfair thing for them, the generals who defend the city, because if they are a little careless, they will be here. killed in the war.

It was almost midnight when he came out of the palace.It's a discussion, but it's really nothing. It's just the city gates reporting the situation of defending the city today, and how long they can last at most. Anyway, the most fundamental purpose has been determined. No matter what method or strategy is used, It doesn't make much sense at this point.

The night in the capital at Zishi was very quiet. Changsun Ji was riding on a horse. Except for the sound of the horse's hooves falling on the bluestone board when he sat down, Changsun Ji couldn't hear any other sounds.

Because of the situation of the city being besieged, even though the prince personally came forward, the people in the city still panicked. If the prince hadn't ordered the grain merchants not to raise the price of grain, and had killed several big grain merchants for it.Now it is estimated that there is no need for rebels outside the city to attack the city, and the city is already in chaos.

The capital can be said to be the largest city in the entire Yan Kingdom. Even if many people left before, there are no fewer people left in the capital. With such a huge population, the daily food consumption alone is a huge number. .

Changsun Ji had expected that if the city was besieged by these rebels for a long time, even if the prince used force to suppress it, he probably would not be able to suppress it. After all, human beings have the habit of storing food instinctively. grab food.

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Ji let it out slowly.He doesn't have that much ability, and he can't manage so many people. All he can do is try his best to guard the west city gate, and then try his best to protect the soldiers under him.

In fact, there are enough young and middle-aged people in the capital. If the prince issues a call-up order, the number of the defending army will be greatly expanded. But why the prince does not expand the soldiers at this time is because the food in the city is simply not enough for the huge army to consume.

Just like that, thinking wildly, Changsun Ji returned to the west gate.After asking the patrolling soldiers, knowing that nothing unexpected happened after he left, Changsun Ji dragged his drowsy head to rest.
