Chapter 2224 Reward the 3rd Army!

"Roar!"

At this moment, the roar of a huge beast suddenly shook the sky and the earth, making the whole city buzz and tremble.

In the eyes of several people, behind the towering steel city wall, a furry head with a ferocious face suddenly poked out from behind, and its huge eyes looked bigger than a human.

King Kong Giant Ape!

The three of them were shocked and recognized it immediately.

In the previous battle, the abilities displayed by the King Kong Giant Ape were deeply imprinted in the minds of soldiers from all countries like nightmares. At least seventy or eighty of those powerful Yiluohe died in King Kong's battle. The giant ape's feet were almost crushed by the giant ape's foot.

Those powerful immortal bodies of Yiluohe had no chance to be used at all. However, at this moment, the King Kong Giant Ape did not pay attention to the three allied forces spies outside the city at all. His attention seemed to be equally attracted by the ones on the top of the city. Attracted by blazing flames.

"take it!"

At this moment, a hearty laugh rang out, and on the top of the city, a familiar figure grabbed a roasted suckling pig that had been roasted and was extremely fragrant, and threw it towards the King Kong Giant Ape with shaking hands.

The King Kong Giant Ape opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the roasted suckling pig in one bite.

"It's him!"

The three of them were shocked, wondering who the man who looked like a general on top of the city was if he wasn't Wang Chong.

"My lord, the enemy is attacking! Scouts from various countries were found outside the city."

At this moment, a sharp sound suddenly sounded from the top of the city.

On the top of the city, Wang Chong was sitting on the throne, looking at the bonfire burning in front of him. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and glanced, and saw the three spies from various countries outside the city at a glance.

"No, leave quickly!"

The three people outside the city looked over when they saw Wang Chong's gaze, and their hearts trembled. They were so frightened that they left their bodies. They quickly turned their horses' heads and headed away in the direction they came from.

The foreign king of the Tang Dynasty was extremely powerful, and even Taishi could not do anything about it. It would be fine if he met other people, but if he met Wang Chong, he would not be able to escape if he wanted to take action.

"hehe,

Let them go and reward the three armies today. It is not suitable to see blood on such a day of celebration. As for the matters on the battlefield, let them be settled on the battlefield! "

Wang Chong said indifferently, only glanced at a few people, and immediately withdrew his gaze.

With strength reaching Wang Chong's level, it is naturally impossible for him to be interested in such a small soldier.

After hearing Wang Chong's words, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Chong was the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty, and such a figure had a lot of command. Since he had spoken to spare their lives, others would naturally not take action against them.

"What, do you want to eat?"

Seeing how many people wanted to leave but wanted to stay, Wang Chong was startled at first, and then quickly understood what was happening. He smiled, glanced at the blazing bonfire in front of him, and tore off a stick of incense sticks from the grill. Leg of lamb, thrown down.

"The two countries are at war. If you don't kill the envoy, you can take this leg of lamb and eat it!"

Wang Chong just said casually, and after throwing out the leg of lamb, he looked away and quietly warmed himself by the fire on the wall. He looked at the soldiers on the top of the city drinking and eating meat, with a faint smile on his lips.

Outside the city, the three scouts from the various countries had complicated expressions, and the gods and humans were at war in their hearts. On the one hand, both sides were mortal enemies and were at war. On the other hand, for the various countries, the first strong wind a long time ago Since the snow fell, they have never tasted exquisite food.

Compared with the delicious roasted whole lamb and roasted suckling pig that the Tang people ate on the city wall, the food eaten by the armies of various countries during this period was as unpalatable as stone.

If this were not the case, the three of them would not have been so easily aroused even though they knew they were enemies but not friends.

The three of them hesitated for a moment, then quickly stepped forward.

It's just a leg of lamb. As long as the three of them don't tell anyone, no one will know.

But the next moment, the three people stepped forward and just took a look, their expressions suddenly froze.

When Wang Chong threw it down from the top of the city, the leg of lamb was still fragrant, browned and tender, but just a moment after it was thrown down from the top of the city, the steaming roasted leg of lamb was immediately completely frozen, with a layer of crust forming on the surface. There was a thick layer of white frost, as hard as stone.

The three people's faces suddenly turned blue and white.

But on top of the city, Wang Chong looked as usual.

Now that the weather is freezing, the reason why Wang Chong is able to roast suckling pigs and roast whole lambs on top of the city is entirely because when he first built the city, Wang Chong deliberately set up some small formations in many places in the city. The method extracts energy from the underground of the steel fortress to resist wind and cold. Within the scope of these small formations, the defense effect against cold waves is greatly enhanced, and it can isolate the strong wind and keep the temperature close to normal temperature, because the range is not It is large and does not have much impact on the formation itself.

This also allowed the Tang soldiers in the city to enjoy hot food.

However, for the soldiers from various countries outside the city, it was already very good to reward them with a leg of lamb. Naturally, Wang Chong would not think so much about them.

Outside the city, the three of them hesitated for a while, and finally stepped forward to pick up the leg of lamb that was frozen and hard.

It's better than nothing. For today's countries, being able to eat such delicious lamb legs is already an extreme enjoyment.

"drive!"

The three of them turned their horses' heads and quickly took the leg of lamb away, disappearing into the deserted wind and snow.

On the top of the city, none of the three people noticed. Wang Chong kept watching them leave, and it took a long time before he looked back.

"Your Majesty, will what we do really be useful to them? Is it too deliberate?"

A voice suddenly came from behind Wang Chong. Zhang Que looked at the direction in which the people were leaving and put down the roast lamb he had taken a big bite of.

Of course, the three scouts from various countries did not happen to meet the Tang Dynasty to reward the three armies. Everything was the result of deliberate design.

Although the various countries are slightly less powerful than the Tang Dynasty, they are not without people with outstanding resourcefulness. It may be difficult to hide what everyone is doing now from them.

"In the art of war, there are conspiracies, deceptions, good soldiers, and surprise soldiers. What we are using now is the method of deception. It doesn't matter whether they can see through it or not. What matters is what they see and what they want in their hearts."

Wang Chong smiled calmly and didn't take it seriously.

"Although the various countries have the help of Taishi, they don't have to worry about shelter and severe cold problems for the time being, but whether they are the Hanjue, Xi tribe, or Khitan tribe, they all have no habit of storing food. The land of Goguryeo is barren, and this cold wave has come. Very suddenly, even if they stored some food, I'm afraid it wouldn't be much. And over in Youzhou, their military food was originally supplied by the imperial court, and it was even less likely to have much surplus food. It was inevitable to cut back on food and clothing and reduce everyone's expenses. "

"Nowadays, it is quite good for all countries to be able to feed the three armies. It is impossible to reward the three armies as much as we do."

"The Tang Dynasty is rich in material resources. It is enough to let them see this."

Wang Chong looked calm and showed a strong confidence in his movements, as if he had seen through everything.

"But in this way, the army's food will be consumed in advance, which may be detrimental to later development."

Zhang Que hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly.

How much food the army consumes every day and how long it lasts are all planned in advance.

Although the army lost a lot of soldiers and horses in the previous battle, even so, there are still 700,000 to 800,000 troops in the city. With so many people involved, the food problem is not a trivial matter.

And according to Wang Chong's current method of rewarding the three armies, the consumption of various meats and foods was at least ten times the usual, which was not a small amount.

In the current cold wave environment, Zhang Que is always a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, why don't we take turns? After rewarding the three armies today, we can return to normal in the next few days? Anyway, the effect has been achieved."

Zhang Que tentatively said.

Only when the army wins a battle will the three armies be rewarded by killing chickens and cattle. However, according to Wang Chong's arrangement, the army will not only celebrate today, but also tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and even the next ten days.

The consumption of 700,000 to 800,000 people is definitely not a small amount.

Not only Zhang Que, but Zhang Que's words also represent the worries of others. After all, it is now snow-covered and it is almost impossible for the entire land to produce food.

"No need, everything remains as usual. As for the food and wine to reward the three armies, not only cannot it be reduced, but it must become more generous day by day."

Wang Chong waved his hand and said calmly.

"ah?"

Zhang Que exclaimed and opened his eyes wide, and other people around him also looked over, especially several quartermasters and grain transport officers, whose eyes could not hide the shock.

All the food needed for the military banquet was arranged by them, but Wang Chong never told them in advance about increasing the scale of the celebration.

"The art of war is based on fiction and reality. You just need to remember that the purpose of our battle is not to defeat the severe cold, nor how long we can last in this great cold wave, but to defeat An Lushan and the coalition forces of other countries. When Defeat our opponent, and when will we be able to return to the imperial court, this is the most important thing!"

Wang Chong said seriously as if he knew what everyone was thinking.

Seeing Wang Chong's serious expression, everyone was shocked and immediately lowered their heads.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After being reminded by Wang Chong, everyone also realized that they had gone to a misunderstanding.

Yes, the purpose of this battle is not to save food, but to defeat the coalition forces of various countries as soon as possible.

"Come on, cheers!"

Wang Chong ignored them, but raised the wine glass containing the capital's fine wine and said to the densely packed and endless generals in the city.

"Congratulations to the prince!"

The soldiers also raised their glasses and responded loudly.

In the city, the sound of celebration shook the heaven and earth, and was louder than before.

…

Scouts from various countries came one after another to investigate. The news of the Tang Dynasty celebrating in the steel fortress had already spread among the troops of various countries. Moreover, the scouts who went to spy brought back roasted leg of lamb, roasted suckling pig, and food in leather bags. The fine wine and the various cakes that Tang people like to eat made the movement on the opposite side spread like a plague.

Seeing the people of Tang Dynasty laughing, celebrating loudly, drinking fine wine and enjoying delicious food, the soldiers from all countries felt mixed emotions.
