Chapter 117 Violent Battle (3)
That night, Xu Wu went to General Zhao and told General Zhao about Yuxi's guess. Of course, like last time, this is Huo Changqing's guess.
General Zhao didn't think too much at this time, so he just asked Xu Wu: "Did your adoptive father say how sure he is?" exhaust. If they let this word out, the Beiyao people did not retreat within the time they said, the consequences would be disastrous.
Xu Wu said: "Ninety percent! My adoptive father said that as long as they can hold on, they will definitely retreat." After burning the granary, even if there are other grains in stock, so many people can last for three days. However, this time is more sensitive, so let General Zhao measure it himself.
General Zhao nodded and said, "I see."
When Xu Wu left, General Zhao went to Qin Zhao and told Qin Zhao, "I mean, let the news out so that all the soldiers know what they are doing." , killing the enemy will be more brave.
Qin Zhao hesitated: "What if it's not allowed?"
General Zhao looked at Qin Zhao and said, "With the current offensive of the North Captives, we can't wait for the arrival of reinforcements. We can only last for five or six days at most. So, why don't you let the soldiers know that the North Captivity can't resist for five days?" In this way, morale can also be raised, and we are more sure." According to General Zhao's prediction, it is good that these northern exiles can withstand three days without food, but there is room for turning around if the time is extended by two days.
Qin Zhao knew that there was no better way now, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
The Beicap army continued to attack for two days and two nights, without the slightest sign of retreating. Fortunately, words have been released here, saying that as long as they persist for five days, these northern exiles will push ice because of lack of food, so the soldiers have a bottom of their hearts, and they are not desperate for this. Don't think that this is a trivial matter, sometimes morale determines the success or failure of this war.
Xu Wu got the news from outside, and said to Yuxi: "Madam, many officials in Yucheng fled Yucheng with their family members last night." The officials Xu Wu mentioned were all civil servants.
After hearing this, Yu Xi asked, "Did Xia Tongzhi also escape?"
Xu Wu nodded and said: "Those officials in Yucheng have basically fled." These things are greedy for life and afraid of death.
Yuxi didn't care, and said: "If you run away, you will run away. Anyway, this group of trash can't help if they stay in Yucheng." Soldiers who fought bloody battles in front.
Xu Wu said nothing.
At this time, Mother Xi came in and said, "Ma'am, Zhuangtou Lian is out to see you." Zhuangtou Lian brought in something. Of course, instead of sending food, they sent poultry raised by Zhuangzi. Two days ago, Yuxi asked people to transport all the livestock on Zhuangzi into the city.
After Lian Zhuangtou came in, he didn't dare to look up at Yu Xi, but knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Yu Xi, and said: "Madam, all the livestock that can be slaughtered have been brought. The things have been given to Manager Han .” This means that the small ones are not sent if they haven’t grown up.
Yuxi nodded her head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lian Zhuangtou hurriedly said: "It's not hard work, but there are not many things." The chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock raised on the Zhuangzi are all for the Yunfu. Sent to the front line, those people can probably only drink a sip of soup.
Yuxi said: "There are not many things, but it is also a little bit of our heart." She can't do anything else, she can only do a little bit of effort.
Even Zhuangtou himself retreated from the battlefield, knowing that although this little thing is not much, it can warm the hearts of the frontline soldiers.
Yuxi asked: "Are those children okay in Zhuangzi?" Now that she is in crisis, she doesn't have more time to pay attention to these children.
Lian Zhuangtou nodded and said, "It's all good.
"Because of the war, no one knows what will happen, so the children in Zhuangzi are now eating a bowl of porridge every day. It's not that even the head of the village treats them harshly, but the situation is unclear, and it will be more difficult to keep food. Play it safe.
Yuxi nodded: "It's good that the child is fine. By the way, is Fu Qingluo okay in Zhuangzi?" Back then, Fu Qingluo yelled that women were no worse than men, and she wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. As a result, Zijin went to battle to kill the enemy, but Fu Qingluo was nowhere to be seen.
Lian Zhuangtou was silent for a while and said: "The grandma of the Fu family brought her child to find Miss Fu six days ago, and then Miss Fu followed her and left." , I feel uneasy, Fu Qingluo has martial arts, and the martial arts of the guards around her are also not low. It is safer for her and the children to have Fu Qingluo by her side.
Fu Qingluo was reluctant to leave at first, after all, this was the task that Yuxi entrusted to her. But in the end, under the offensive of tears and pleas from Fu Da's nǎinǎi and his two nieces, he still left. However, Fu Qingluodao didn't take away all the female guards around her, but left half of them.
Yuxi skipped this topic: "You go back now! If Yucheng is breached, you take the children and hide them to ensure their safety." At that time, just in case, Zhuangzi also dug a secret road. But this news, only a few people know.
Lian Zhuangtou kowtowed to Yu Xi three more times, and said, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of those children."
Yu Xi sighed, but said nothing.
After another day of fighting, the offensive of the Beicap army not only did not subside, but became more violent. One piece of the soldiers on the city wall fell down, and another piece came up again. Those who have never been on the battlefield will never know the cruelty of war.
Zijin raised the knife and chopped off the head of another Beibei soldier. In the past three days and two nights, Zijin's eyes were red from killing, and she didn't know how many people she had killed.
Yu Zhi was a little anxious, and said, "Zijin, let's go down and rest for a while! Your body can't handle it like this!" For three days and two nights, Zijin ate a little bit of stuff, but he didn't have time to rest. Not to mention that Zijin could not be carried by a woman, even he could not carry it by himself.
Zijin said loudly: "I can hold on." After speaking, the big knife slashed on the head of a Beicap soldier who rushed up.
Yu Zhi knew that reasoning with Zijin would not work, so he simply grabbed her by the shoulder, dragged her aside, and said, "You are not an iron man, even if you don't sleep, come with me to eat something. Only when you are full can you continue to kill the enemy." .” He was worried that if this continued, Zijin would die of exhaustion.
Violet didn't want to go down.
Yu Zhi said in a cold voice, "Zi Jin, you promised Madam that you would go to see her alive. If you continue like this, you don't need barbarians to kill you, and you will fall yourself. Come down with me, and come up when you are full."
With Yu Zhi's insistence, Zijin finally followed him down the tower. One by one cauldrons were set up under the city platform. These big pots are all emitting white gas. Of course, these big pots are not for cooking, but for boiling water. The boiling water was sent to the city tower and splashed on the barbarians, which was enough for them.
Yu Zhi and Zijin walked to the cooking place, looking at the cages of white and fat steamed buns, Zijin's stomach growled and she couldn't help swallowing. It was the first time she was so hungry since she followed Madam.
A short and thin man came over and said to the two of them, "Follow me." These steamed buns are for soldiers, and ordinary people cannot eat them. But Yu Zhi and Zi Jin didn't need to prove their identities because they were covered in blood.
Violet walked around the railing around the outside, which was a sign that no one else could enter. Whether it's boiling water or cooking, there are designated areas, and you can't just walk around. Otherwise, there is only order, so it is not helping, but adding **.
Zi Jin walked up to a basket of steamed buns, grabbed a steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into her mouth without being greeted by anyone, and started to eat it. I ate so fast that I choked on it.
Yu Zhi ate more politely, seeing this, he patted Zijin lightly on the back. At this time, a woman came over with two bowls of soup and said, "Drink some hot soup!"
Zijin took a big gulp of the soup, and swallowed it with the steamed stuffed bun. Zijin felt better, and said to Yu Zhi, "Eat quickly, don't worry about me."
Yu Zhi nodded, took a sip of the soup and said, "This soup seems to be chicken soup." Although the taste is a bit bland, it shouldn't be wrong.
At this time, Zijin was only thinking about killing the enemy, she didn't care what kind of soup she was drinking, and said, "Hurry up and eat, you have to go up and kill the enemy!"
Seeing this, Yu Zhi said, "Take a break! Even if you can't sleep for a while, you won't be able to sleep. You haven't closed your eyes for three days and two nights. Take a rest before killing."
Yu Zhi had a very tough attitude at this time, and said, "No, let's rest for half an hour, and I'll call you when the time comes." He didn't want Zijin to be exhausted to death.
Under Yu Zhi's insistence, Zi Jin also stepped back and said, "Okay."
Soldiers who have retired have a special place to rest. Zi Jin and Yu Zhi had enough to eat and drink, so they went to rest. But before she squinted her eyes and rested, Zijin was worried that she would not be able to wake up, so she called a child who came to help and asked him to wake up in half an hour. The child agreed immediately.
When the time came, the child woke up Zijin, and Yu Zhi was still soundly asleep at this time! Zi Jin wanted Yu Zhi to sleep well, she went to the battlefield alone! But her hand was held by Yu Zhi, and she couldn't get rid of it at all, so she could only wake Yu Zhi up.
Although it was midnight, torches were lit up and down the city platform, just like daytime. Zi Jin and Yu Zhi quickly got on the platform, and started a new round of fighting.
After fighting until dawn, Zijin asked, "Yu Zhi, do you feel that the attacks of these northern captives are not as violent as the previous few days?" It seemed that they had softened up.

Yu Zhi was also full of joy, and said, "Didn't it mean that the food and grass in the North were burned? They must be unable to hold on!" Thinking of this, Yu Zhi was full of fighting spirit. As long as they persevere, they will be able to win the final victory. (to be continued)
