"There is really something that needs to be done by the commander. The sixth young master said that whether the surrender to Beiming is true or false, at least the outside world believes it. If you want to change people's impression of you, some things must be done by you. Well, I'll talk to the commander about the external situation..."
In the following time, Feng Liang talked endlessly. When he said goodbye, he would insert a few words. When he listened carefully, they would have met for more than two hours. If there were not a housekeeper lying on the bed pretending to sleep, plus the usual farewell pretending to be too similar, I'm afraid he would have to help him when he wakes up.
......
Shicheng.
The attack continued, and with Cen Guang's continuous orders, the attack became stronger and stronger.
CEN Guang doesn't love soldiers like Shi Wanshan. In his eyes, these soldiers at the bottom are the stepping stones to his brilliant life. In order to achieve his goal, he won't care about the life and death of those people.
After Cen Guang sent a full 5000 people as an inspector team, his Beiming infantry rushed up the gate of the city one by one at the risk of death, and then went to die one after another, looking like opening a gap and rushing into the city.
In the city, the pressure is increasing.
While the enemy's attack became more and more fierce, the food and grass in the city began to run out. Now not only the ordinary soldiers have no food to eat, but also the soldiers guarding the city can't eat a full meal a day. The situation is becoming more and more critical day by day.
As the sea god needle of the beginning City, Hu Mang, the commander of the new army, was even thinner, took off his image, and his eyes were deeply sunk. Compared with others, he is not only hungry, but also under great psychological pressure.
When Yang Chendong left, he handed over the military and political power of Shicheng to him, and usually gave him so much support and trust. If he can't keep Shicheng, how can he still have the face to see people?
"Junzuo, the attack of the northern Ming army is too fierce. Now our soldiers are reducing a lot. Most of them are hungry. The original 70000 garrison infantry are now less than 10000. Even they can't stand it. At most, tomorrow, no! After tonight, I'm afraid they will really die." LV Zhuo, the division commander of the first cavalry division who is temporarily responsible for guarding the city, is reporting the current military situation to Hu mang at the military headquarters of the first army in the city.
"Can only block tonight?" a gloom flashed across the tiger's face. He now has tens of thousands of infantry and tens of thousands of cavalry, but he can't form enough combat effectiveness because he doesn't have food. Even if the number of troops goes on like this, it will be useless.
"Yes, if the northern Ming army still attacks all night tonight, I'm afraid it will be... Unable to withstand it early tomorrow morning." Lv Zhuo said helplessly in his eyes. Since the northern Ming army changed its generals, cen Guang adopted a continuous attack for 12 hours, which also doubled the pressure on the Shicheng garrison.
"Young master, where is the young master?" I didn't ask LV Zhuo about the army, let alone cheer him up. Without food, many words are useless.
"Well, the telegraph operator has sent a telegram, but he still hasn't contacted." Lv Zhuo bowed his head and said.
"No contact? How could this be possible? Didn't the young master come to us from Liaodong long ago? Why can't he contact? Come and find Mr. Yang Si." this result is obviously not what Hu mang wants to hear. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, he thought of Yang Si, who was personally ordered by the young master to manage money and food. He didn't believe that at this time, the other party would not leave any behind hands.
The soldier promised and went out, but before leaving the hospital, he saw that division commander Yang Si had entered the hospital leisurely. "Mr. Yang Si, our military seat is looking for you. Go quickly." when I saw Yang Si, it was like seeing relatives. The soldiers said with an anxious face.
"Why? Is tiger head worried? Hehe, in case of major events, you should have calmness, calmness." with a smile on his face, Yang Si strode towards the main hall as he said.
Yang Si appeared in front of him so quickly and smiled, which made Hu mang very angry. "Yang Si, you can still laugh at this time. How can you be so heartless? Do you know that once the beginning city is broken, you also have a great responsibility."
"Shicheng will be broken? Don't be kidding. Here is the formation of our most powerful tiger mang army. No one can attack it." Yang Siyi said with a cynical smile and flattery.
If it had been in the past, Yang Si would have laughed and scolded Hu mang. Everyone would have passed in front of a joke. But now, Yang Si still has such an attitude. Hu mang got angry on the spot. "Yang Si, please be serious. I can tell you that this is the military headquarters of the new army. No one is joking with you."
Hu Mang's face turned red and angrily denounced. Yang Si also saw that the other party was worried. At present, his expression also returned to normal and said, "tiger head, don't worry. I just received the young master's telegram..."
"How can I not be in a hurry? I... wait, what did you just say? I received the young master's telegram?" Hu Mang, who was still going to be angry, was suddenly stunned, and then stared at Yang Si with big eyes. He looked like a man who wanted to eat people. It seemed that he was afraid that Yang Si was joking with him for a while.
Yang Si also knew when to laugh and when to be extremely serious, so he nodded, "yes, I received a telegram from the young master. The young master is on his way to Shicheng. He already knows our situation, so he ordered me to take out food to solve the immediate problems first. Everything else can be settled in half a month."
"Half a month? Take out food? Do you... Do you still have food?" Hu mang was very surprised when he heard this, and looked at Yang Si's eyes with infinite expectation.
"Yes, of course, but it can only be eaten by the army and the people for half a month, which is why I haven't taken it out before." Yang Si said in a positive color, and gave an explanation for not taking food at the same time.
Originally, Hu mang was trying to start scolding Yang Si. Why didn't he take out the food? But now he knows that this problem is superfluous. No wonder compared with others, Yang Si always looks like he is not in a hurry. He has such confidence in his feelings. Thinking of this, Hu mang couldn't help asking, "you tell me this because you know that the city guarding army can't hold it. If you can hold it, won't you say it?"
"Yes," Yang Si did not deny. Although he was confident and looked less anxious than anyone, he always paid attention to the war situation. He also knew that the five-star army without food was at the end of its power, so he quickly sent a telegram to Yang Chendong for instructions. After receiving the exact call back, it came to the new army headquarters.
After the promise, Yang Si saw that Hu Mang's face was a little ugly. Although he was instructed by Yang Chendong this time, he didn't want to affect their relationship, so he explained: "Tiger head, don't be angry with me. It's all the young master's intention. Long before he left Shicheng last time, he dug a large cellar in Yang's house with Long Wei's secret. You know, the soil here is still good, and many vegetables and food are kept in it. It's the young master's plan for a rainy day."
"So, did the young master predict that we would have such a day?" Hu mang got up in surprise.
"It should be like this. In fact, I learned it not long ago. The young master told me in a secret telegram. Now think about it. If this matter had been announced long ago, we would have had enough food for a few more days at best. If we want to cooperate with the young master to launch an all-round counterattack, we have no power." Yang Si nodded.
Hu mang didn't hear the other words clearly, but the words "counterattack on the whole line" were clear to his ears, which made him energetic in an instant. "Wait, you mean we should cooperate with the young master to counterattack on the whole line next?"
"Yes, that's what the young master said in his telegram. He also asked me to take out all the food in the cellar and distribute it to the soldiers and the people, so that everyone can gradually recover their strength and be ready to fight back out of the city at any time." Yang Sizhong nodded emphatically, then took out a telegram just received from his arms and put it in front of Hu Mang's case.
......
The siege troops outside the city do not know what is going on inside the city.
Since the siege of Shicheng, no one can come out of the city, and no one can go in from outside the city. The news has been completely separated.
At dusk, cen Guang was mobilizing the soldiers. Although he was greedy, he still had some fighting skills. He had a keen sense that the five-star army guarding the city was at the end of the crossbow. He decided to make a fierce attack to break through the city tower and enter the city.
CEN Guang not only mobilized the soldiers below, but also reported his conjecture to Tidu Shiheng and others. After hearing that the city was about to be destroyed, Shiheng found Fang Dingshan and Yexian respectively, and asked their cavalry to prepare for the city gate to open and rush into the city.
"Gentlemen, Shicheng is a banner of King Wunan on the grassland. According to our previous investigation, there are hundreds of thousands of people alone, and the army in the city is also the elite of the elite. Once the city gate is broken, they will not be captured. It will depend on the strength of your cavalry." Shi Heng kept turning his eyes on them.
"Please don't worry, with our Liaodong cavalry, we won't let any enemy go." Fang Dingshan patted his chest and promised.
"Yes, we vara cavalry are trying to have a good meeting with the elite of the five-star army." he said with a proud look first.
