Under the siege of the Tianyuan army, the food and grass in Zhongwen camp became increasingly empty. With the passage of time, the soldiers' rations began to be strictly controlled, from three meals a day to two meals a day, and then to one meal a day. Even if they ate only one meal a day, the meals were very limited.
Many soldiers who didn't have enough to eat were hungry. At night, they ran out of the barracks in groups to steal and kill military horses.
Zhong Wen was very angry when he learned about it. He immediately executed all the captured soldiers, but their hunger could not be controlled by manpower. Although several soldiers who stole food from the army and horses were executed, more soldiers took risks to try. Gradually, Zhong Wen couldn't control it.
At this time, Zhong Wen, who was so smart and proficient in military tactics, was stranded in the encirclement of the Tianyuan army. He didn't know the outside situation. He just calculated according to the time, the army of Ningguo should have arrived long ago. Even if he climbed for so many days, he should have climbed. Why did he not see the trace of Ningjun for so long.
At this time, he had a premonition that the Ning army must encounter obstacles on the way. Now he had only two choices: either continue to wait until the Ning army breaks through the resistance to come for assistance, or lead the crowd to break through the encirclement, fight a bloody path with more than 100000 troops of his own side and go to meet the Ning army.
But both options are risky.
What if Ning Jun didn't come in the end? The more than 100000 soldiers on our side are really waiting to die and have to be wiped out by the Tianyuan army; If we choose to break through the siege, the 400000 Tianyuan army has set up a stable camp and strong defense. With more than 100000 to 400000, it is also the party to attack the key. It is undoubtedly hitting the stone with an egg. Even if we can break through the siege, we are afraid that several soldiers will not survive in the end.
Now his decision is not only related to the life and death of more than 100000 central troops, but also related to his own survival and whether his father can sit on the river and mountains. He has a great responsibility. He dare not act rashly, so he has been consumed all the time.
He can continue to consume, but the hungry soldiers in the army can't consume any more. Because the army and horses have been strictly guarded by Zhong Wen's personal guard, many hungry soldiers with dazzled eyes began to flee the camp at night, climb over their own stronghold wall and flee to the Tianyuan army. The situation of the whole army has become increasingly out of Zhong Wen's control.
Zhong Wenyi was trapped for several days. Zhong Tian, who is in Yancheng, also got the news. The old man was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Knowing that Ning Jun was short of food and grass and was blocked on his way forward, he immediately dispatched 200000 stone grain from Yancheng. One stone is 40 Jin, and 200000 stone is 8 million jin. However, such a huge amount of grain and grass is actually only enough for the 400000 Ning army for six days. In addition, Zhong Tian ordered Geng Qiang, the head of Lehu County, to prepare 200000 stone grain and grass to be sent to Ningjun camp.
The grain and grass of Zhongtian and Lehu county were sent one after another. At this time, Ning army had withdrawn to the junction of Jinguang county and Lehu county. Although the food and grass were supplied, the commander-in-chief of Ning army, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan invincible, stayed in place and did not move. The whole camp was calm and had no intention of marching forward.
His son and his main force were trapped in the encirclement of the enemy, and life and death depended on the front line. Zhong Tian couldn't wait. He sent people several times to urge Ning army to enter the army quickly, but they were prevaricated by the numerous enemies in Jinhua City. At this time, Zhong Tian finally understood that Ning Jun didn't care about the life and death of Zhong Wenyi, nor whether his country could stand it. They only cared about themselves.
At the same time, Zhong Tian was thinking hard about how to solve the danger of Zhong Wen. After thinking about it, he didn't come up with a good way. Finally, he had to send someone to Yu Tao, the head of Jinguang County, and asked him to immediately assemble an army of 100000 people to attack Tianyuan army from the periphery and rescue the trapped Zhong Wen department.
Yu Tao couldn't help grinning when he received Zhong Tian's order. The soldiers of Jinguang county had been sent to Yancheng for a long time. Later, they were sent back by Zhong Tian to fight Tianyuan county. As a result, the whole army defected and surrendered to Tianyuan army. Now, although most of the soldiers have been demobilized by Tianyuan County, it is even more difficult to gather these scattered soldiers to continue fighting with Tianyuan army, No one will accept such a ridiculous thing.
Let alone recruit an army of 100000 people. Now it is difficult for him to recruit 50000 people to fight the Tianyuan army.
But Zhong Tian's will has come, and he can't help but obey it. He has to act according to Zhong Tian's instructions.
Yu Tao tried his best to gather an army of more than 20000 people. Most of the members of this army are homeless refugees, and some are servants and servants gathered up by major families in the county. As for the leading generals, no one dares to take responsibility for the generals in Jinguang county. These 20000 people can only be commanded by Tao himself.
This army has neither elite soldiers nor good generals. Let alone fighting with 400000 Tianyuan army, it may not be able to fight even if it meets a regular army for a while. Yu Tao is not a fool. He knows this himself. He led his civil servants, military generals and more than 20000 troops to the junction of Jinguang county and Guannan county.
Twenty miles away from the Tianyuan army camp, he dared not go any further and ordered the whole army to be stationed. Yu Tao acted according to Zhong Tian's will, but he didn't have the strength and didn't dare to fight with the army to Tianyuan. The formation of the army was just a helpless move to deal with the matter. It can be said that it didn't help the trapped Zhong Wenyi department.
The Ningguo army that could save Zhong Wen stopped, while Yu Tao and others who went to rescue him were helpless. The trapped danger of Zhong Wen's Department was still unsolved. As the saying goes, there is no double blessing, and there is no single misfortune. Ten days after the siege of the first Department of Zhongwen, another powerful army joined the Tianyuan army. Is that ishana? Feng? 30000 Bessa heavy Armored Cavalry led by Poulos.
Tang Yin sent envoys to borrow troops from BESA City, Sanchez? Feng? Poulos is strongly opposed, but Brian, who was mercilessly released by Tang Yin? The families of five young generals, including Lucas, played a role again and unanimously supported the loan of troops to Tang Yin. Of course, they agree that borrowing troops is not just for personal gain. In terms of Yu Gong, they also want to see a stable Tianyuan county.
Tang Yin signed a trade agreement with the city of besa, which is mutually beneficial. The nobles of the city of besa, especially the nobles of the city of besa, soon tasted the sweetness and earned huge benefits from the trade between the two sides. Therefore, with the development of trade, the interests of both sides have been linked, and the stability of Tianyuan county also directly affects the income of the nobles of the city of besa.
This is the main reason why the important officials of King besa supported borrowing troops from Tang Yin.
And Sanchez? Feng? Prosper is a royal family. He himself has a large number of fiefs and slaves, and is supported by the state. Therefore, he does not care about or participate in the trade of Tianyuan county. The stability and prosperity of Tianyuan County naturally have nothing to do with him. Instead, he thinks Tang Yin is a huge hidden danger for the city of besa. It would be best if he could be eliminated as soon as possible.
Sanchez's opposition received little support, including his brother, King kenis of besa? Feng? Including Poulos.
After several discussions, kenis finally decided to borrow troops from Tang Yin, select 30000 elite soldiers from besa's heavy Armored Cavalry and send them to Fengguo. Hearing that her father agreed to help Tang Yin, Xiao Na was very happy and volunteered to be the commander of the 30000 heavy cavalry and lead the army into the wind.
Shawna is the favorite princess of Kenneth, and she is also one of the heirs of the top five. She may inherit the throne of Kenneth in the future. Led by her, she can accumulate military achievements for him. Kenneth nodded after consideration. Afraid of Shawna's inexperience, Kenneth specially assigned him Blanca, a veteran of the city of besa and one of the old aristocrats? Potis. Besides, Brian? Lucas and other five young generals also followed the army.
In the past, the armies of besa city-state came to Pingyuan County for fighting and plundering, but now they have become reinforcements to help Tang Yin fight. Things are so changeable.
The combat effectiveness of the heavily armored cavalry in besa city-state is not trivial. If Tang Yin had not developed the way to solve it, the wind army could not compete with it at all. There were also cases in which a whole regiment of the wind army was defeated by only 1000 heavily armored cavalry on the battlefield.
The Besar army traveled all the way through Tianyuan county and Guannan County in Fengdi, and came to the junction of Guannan county and Jinguang county to join the main force of Tianyuan army.
Qiu zhenle, the temporary commander of the Tianyuan army, couldn't close his mouth and personally led the civil and military generals of the whole army to meet him.
Xiao Na doesn't know Qiu Zhen, let alone other generals, and she has no interest in these people at all. She just wants to see Tang Yin, but to her disappointment, Tang Yin is not here at present, but goes deep into the hinterland of Jinguang county to fight with the army going to Ning.
According to Xiao Na's original intention, since Tang Yin is in Jinhua City, she should also lead the troops, but Qiu Zhen stopped her. Due to the lack of language, a large group of translators gathered around the two sides during the conversation, so that the generals of both sides can understand each other's meaning.
Qiu Zhen told Xiao Na about the current situation in detail and then told him: "the reason why the adults went deep into Jin Guang Jun and ventured to Jinhua city to defend the Ningguo army was to destroy the bell and paper. Therefore, if we want to return to our adults, we must stay here a helping hand to destroy the rebellion headed by Chung Wen as soon as possible."
After a long pause, he said, "besides, the Royal Highness commanding your army to come to the enemy is not known now. We should make good use of this point and win the game. If we go deep into Jin Guang Jun, expose the signs and the fighting power and let the enemy take precautions, we will not be able to fight against the future."
Shawna doesn't want to listen to these big principles and wants to refuse, but as deputy commander Blanca? But she said, "what is the most important thing that Qiu said," Your Highness, let's wait here first! "
