royal robes

Chapter 295

The calm before the storm, the entire Tongguan was shrouded in a shadow.Everyone outside the pass is also preparing for the battle with all their strength. Chai Rong has not slept for three days. He knows that the opponent will attack again. 3000 people doesn't matter at all.

What worried Chai Rong the most was that Liu Chengyou didn't continue to attack the city, he didn't think you were so stupid, or Murong Yanzhao couldn't bear to see his soldiers die in vain, but as long as Liu Chengyou stands still, it would be bad news for Tongguan , Chai Rong hoped that he would attack the city, and that he would send thousands of people to die every time. Only in this way could Tongguan win a big victory.

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

It has been half a month since the last siege, and the grain supply in Tongguan has bottomed out.Wang Jingchong did not send any new grain. What Chai Rong was most worried about happened. Wang Jingchong lost the support of Liu Chengyou. He had no spare energy to feed the 3 horses in Tongguan.

If this continues, I'm afraid that in a few days at most half a month, Liu Chengyou will not need Liu Chengyou to storm Tongguan, and it will be self-defeating. 3 people is a huge number, and it is no easy task to feed so many people.I don't know where Tianya borrows food, but one thing is certain, Tianya won't come too soon.

Chai Rong and Wang Jun sat together and discussed that Tongguan could still barely support it now, but in a few days when the food was gone, the soldiers in Tongguan would start to rebel.

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

Chai Rong sighed: "Tianya has been walking for half a month, and I don't know what's going on. But no matter where he goes to borrow food, it will take time for the food to arrive. If it doesn't work, he will have to surrender."

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that today's Tongguan can be said to have no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, grandma doesn't love, and uncle doesn't love.The existence of Tongguan is only to attract Liu Chengyou's attention. The survival of Tongguan is irrelevant to the whole world, so no one will waste money and food to reinforce Tongguan, because they don't have the spare capacity.

Lei Hong is now doing his best to help Guo Wei recruit troops in Chang'an, and Zhao Jing is too stingy, and he is 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 others can escape from Tongguan, there is no need to stick to it.

But Chai Rong didn't think so. If he couldn't even defend Tongguan, what would be the use of such a general?For his own honor, and of course the life and death of the [-] soldiers in Tongguan, Chai Rong must stick to it.Because Liu Chengyou's character was too extreme, even if Tongguan surrendered, those generals would be beheaded, Liu Chengyou would even order the massacre of the city, and at least half of the soldiers in Tongguan would die.

Wang Jun has known Chai Rong for many years, and he is very aware of Chai Rong's temper. Chai Rong will never run away, and he will never abandon these [-] soldiers for his own life or death.After all, he is Guo Wei's adoptive son, and he was educated by Guo Wei since he was a child. If he didn't even have this bit of integrity, Guo Wei would have taught him for so many years in vain.

Wang Pu said: "You two are really worried. Tianya is a disciple of Master Zongxin. Even though he is less than 10 years old, he will definitely be able to solve the crisis in Tongguan and the food will be delivered soon. What you should be worried about now is Liu Chengyou. We will send troops to attack from time to time, so how should we respond?"

"You trust this child too much." Wang Jun said: "No matter how powerful he is, he is still a child who is less than 10 years old. How can he be so powerful?"

"Do you dare to fight him?" Wang Pu said, "Tianya's martial arts is also taught by Zong. Your three-legged cat's kung fu, if you can pass Tianya's ten strokes, you are considered very good."

These words really made Wang Jun speechless. Although Wang Jun was in the barracks together, he was not a general, and his martial arts were slightly better than ordinary soldiers.He also learned a few tricks of Guo Wei's martial arts, but learning martial arts was too hard, and Wang Jun couldn't do the hard work.

But Tianya is different. Tianya likes to practice martial arts. His kung fu in martial arts is far more than strategy and resourcefulness. With Yuan as the foundation, Tianya's cultivation is far superior to Wang Jun's, there is no need for the two to fight at all.

Chai Rong said: "As the saying goes, if you share the same surname, you are closely related. If you both have the surname Wang, why do you have to quarrel every time we meet?"

"He looks down on me." Wang Pu said: "He thinks I'm a farmer and I'm 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? I do it when I have a hot face and a cold ass." Don't do such a cheap thing."

Wang Jun didn't say a word, which almost means he didn't deny it, because he really looked down on Wang Pu.Wang Pu did nothing but send a letter for Master Zongxin, and the person who made him prime minister was not Guo Wei but Zongxin.How could Guo Wei convince the public that he made a farmer prime minister first when he was about to raise his troops?At least Wang Jun refused to accept it. If Guo Wei proclaimed himself emperor, he should be the prime minister.

"Okay, have you guys started fighting for fame and fortune before you have written your horoscope?" Chai Rong said, "What should I say about you? The most important thing now is..."

"Report..." Before Chai Rong finished speaking, the messenger was already kneeling outside the door, as if he had something important to report.

"speak."

"Dust is flying outside the city. It seems that another group of troops has come, and it looks like they are heading towards the enemy."

Another bad news came from the messengers. Now it is not easy to deal with Murong Yanzhao's 8 horses, yet someone came again?Who is it?
"Who is coming?"

"This..." the messenger said, "You can vaguely see the military flag from a distance, and it seems to say 'Yan' on it."

"Murong Yanchao is here?" Chai Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go and see."

A group of people immediately went to the city wall of Tongguan, held the crenel and looked out of the city. Sure enough, another group of people came, and this group came a lot, with a lot of things.The word 'Yan' was indeed written on the flag, and it was indeed Murong Yanchao who came, and the most worrying thing finally happened.

Everyone stood on the crenel and gritted their teeth. Chai Rong had expected that Liu Chengyou would have to ask Murong Yanchao to help him when he had no other choice, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. Someone must have offered advice, otherwise Liu Chengyou would have to eat it at least a few times Only after losing the battle will he think of this King Yan.

It's troublesome to come now, I don't know how many troops he has brought and how many siege equipment he has.If Murong Yanchao were to command the siege, Tongguan might not be able to defend it.

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

"It's over, this time there is really no way." Chai Rong said: "Order the whole army to stand guard on all sides. 3000 people guard one side, day and night. Murong Yanchao must not let Murong Yanchao take advantage of it."

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

"Yes, but... kill first."

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

In fact, Shi Shouxin has mentioned this for a long time. The eighteen knights of Youyun are an important combat force. Now the white wolf is leading Tianya to leave Tongguan. There are eighteen wolves in Tongguan. Running wildly on the crenel, the eminent monks left behind by Zong Xin are all masters of martial arts. As long as they help, they can hold Tongguan as much as possible.

But now Youyun Eighteen Riders has the biggest problem. The wolves have eaten up all their food, and there is not enough fresh meat to feed them.With Zhao Kuangyin around, these wolves would not go out to bite people.

Shi Shouxin had suggested a long time ago that some of the captives captured before would rather die than obey, and have been kept 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 wargs.

At first Chai Rong didn't agree, because Chai Rong's conduct was very good, it would be too cruel to let the wolves eat the living, and it would be troublesome if these wolves became addicted to eating human flesh.After all, in Chai Rong's view, these wolves are monsters that are about to become fine. Monsters can be addictive to eat people, and they can improve the way of wolves.

Now Chai Rong can't control so much, the most important thing is to restore the fighting power of the wolves.But eating a living person is still a bit cruel, so Chai Rong asked Shi Shouxin to kill him first.

Zhao Kuangyin proposed it a long time ago, but Chai Rong always disagreed.So...these wolves eat soldiers who were seriously injured during the last siege, and Zhao Kuangyin was not too cruel, he killed them first and then fed them to the wolves.

Youyun Shibaqi didn't mind, and the wolf didn't mind, but Zhao Kuangyin was very happy.The warg was very happy after eating human flesh, the taste was delicious and he couldn't get enough of it.It's a pity that the soldiers who were seriously injured were almost eaten up, and Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about what to feed these wolves.

Now it's all right, there are hundreds of people who would rather die than obey, and the wolves can eat whatever they want with their stomachs open.Not only can it solve some troubles, but it can also save food, and the wolves can also eat all they want, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

"Zhao Kuangyin, take Youyun Eighteen Cavalry to guard the north gate. The north gate is close to the Weishui River, which is our only way of life. We must guard it. Wang Jun leads troops to guard the west city, Shi Shouxin leads troops to guard the east city, and I guard the south gate to confront the enemy." Chai Rong has already prepared the place where these people are responsible, the most important thing is his own south gate and Zhao Kuangyin's north gate.Because Tongguan only has these two exits, except for the south gate and the north gate, there are no gates on the east and west sides.

Zhao Kuangyin took Youyun Eighteen to guard the north gate, which had another meaning. If he was in danger, he could lead troops to rush out of the north gate, and take Youyun Eighteen to escort Fu Xuanyi out of Tongguan.The wolf is extremely fast and very agile. The fur on its body alone is already invulnerable, and with the armor it is even smoother. As long as Zhao Kuangyin is in Chai Rong at the north gate, he will have no worries.
