First Lady of the Crown Prince

  Chapter 498 Siege (one more)

The news that Yuegucheng is about to fight is not a day or two. All the people who can run ran away. If they couldn’t run away, they gathered rice and grain at home. The rice grain shop was sold out. Gu Chengfeng just started to have good luck. The first rice and grain shop happened to have food in stock, and the rest of the shops were almost only enough for them to eat.

  Gu Chengfeng walked down the empty street dejectedly.

  As a son of the Hou Mansion, when did he worry about food, clothing, shelter and transportation?

  His delicacies and delicacies are more than five taels of silver, but this is a day’s ration for hundreds of soldiers.

   "Master Hu, can't I really find another place to buy rice?" Gu Chengfeng asked in a low mood.

  Master Hu saw Gu Chengfeng's expression all over his eyes, he sighed a long, "I have been to the shops with rice, and there is only this."

  If you don’t have to go door to door to levy, Master Hu didn’t say anything.

  He can see that these two young adults are different from those of the past. They will not forcefully expropriate people's things.

  "How long can our food last?" Gu Chengfeng asked.

   "This..." Master Hu silently calculated for a while in his heart, and said, "If you lose one meal a day, it can last two days."

   Gu Chengfeng murmured: "But my eldest brother has four days to come."

  Moreover, it cannot be subtracted.

  They are soldiers who defend their homes and the country, how can they be allowed to fight hungry?

  Don't say that Chen Guo's army will not come to attack the city in the past few days. They are already on the ground, and if they don't take the opportunity to take down the ancient city, will they wait for his elder brother to come and serve them all?

  As the two talked, they returned to the camp near the tower with the grain and straw pulled by the mule cart.

  Gu Chengfeng walked with his head sullen and didn't look forward, so did Master Hu.

  Suddenly, an accompanying soldier yelled: "My lord! Master! Look!"

Gu Chengfeng and Master Hu looked in the direction of the soldiers’ fingers. It was the room near the camp. They saw that the floor at the door of the room was filled with weird baggage. Some of the baggage was tightly tied so that there was no way to see what was inside. What, some of the baggage is loose, and rice or steamed buns can be seen faintly.

  There are even corn cobs, vegetables, wowotou, flatbreads, bacon, eggs...

   Gu Chengfeng was thinking about what was going on, when he saw several people coming over with a few small bags of white flour and corn flour.

  They put the flour on the ground and left without saying a word.

  The little doll who had just spoken to Gu Chengfeng also came over.

  He was with his mother. His mother put down a few freshly baked sweet potatoes. He seemed to want to put something, but he rummaged through his pockets and didn't take out anything.

  Finally, he thought for a while, took out the half-eaten mochi and sucked the saliva. He was very disappointed, but he put the mochi on one of the sweet potatoes with great loyalty.

  That is something he can only eat during the Chinese New Year.

  Just because it was about to fight, he didn’t know if he would survive, so his parents took it out for him in advance.

  That is the best thing he can come up with.

  Gu Chengfeng’s eye sockets suddenly became warm.

  They are the people of Zhaoguo whom his grandfather and elder brother swear to protect, but it is not only the soldiers who are protecting the people, the people are also protecting them in their own way.

   guarding an army, guarding a city.

   Outside the city wall, Chen Guo's army has already begun to prepare for the rush vehicle and the ladder needed to attack the city. Because of the moat, they also need to prepare several flying bridges.

  Flying bridges are being built quickly, and ladders are being assembled in full swing.

  Tang Yueshan looked at their manpower and progress, predicting that they would be ready tomorrow night.

  If there is an ordnance for siege, not only the blacksmiths in the city are recruited to forge armor and weapons, but also the carpenters are recruited by Tang Yueshan, mainly to lead the soldiers to build crashes, stone and rolling logs.

  Crash is an ordnance used to deal with the siege ladder. A striker is attached to the frame to crash or knock it down when the ladder approaches.

  In addition, there are kerosene and arrows.

Arrows don’t have to be done by the carpenters in the city. The archers of the Tang family can do it themselves. This is one of their basic skills. Archers from other countries don’t need to know how to make arrows by themselves, or else the archers of the Tang family are famous. The Six Nations.

  Tang Yueshan prepared its troops and began to wait quietly for the dawn.

  This is a sleepless night. It belongs to the army of Chen and the soldiers of Yu Zhao.

  When the sky was white, the preparations were almost ready. They only had 7,000 troops, and the regular army was less than 5,000.

  The 20,000 yuan of Chen Guo's army is a real regular army. The difference in strength between the two sides is too great. This is a deadly battle.

  But just like Gu Chengfeng said, even if the last person fights, he must defend the city.

The price may be the lives of these seven thousand soldiers, including Tang Yueshan's own lives.

   "Marshal Tang."

  The dazzling Tianguang self-employed tent's curtain gap penetrated in, along with the two newly appointed lieutenants of Tang Yueshan, both of whom came and returned.

  "Are everything done?" Tang Yueshan asked.

   Vice Admiral Cen arched his hands and said: "If you go back to your lord, the crash and the rocking log are all done, and they have moved up to the tower."

   "Okay." Tang Yueshan nodded and looked at Lieutenant General Li again.

  Lieutenant General Li also arched his hands and said: "Weapons and armor have also been forged."

   "Let the soldiers go to rest." Tang Yueshan said, paused, and then said, "You have a good meal, and you are ready to fight in the evening."

  The two looked at each other with complicated expressions, arched their hands, and replied in unison: "Yes!"

  Deputy General Cen left first, and Li handed over a new pair of armor to Tang Yueshan: "This is the armor you want."

  Tang Yueshan's eyes fell on the brand-new and cold armor, raised his hand, and gently touched it: "Okay."

  Gu Jiao spent the whole night in the camp for treating wounded soldiers. When the doctors in the city heard that there was a shortage of manpower, they all came over spontaneously. Like Gu Jiao, they did not touch the ground and stayed up all night.

  After the last round of treatment of wounded soldiers, all the doctors were exhausted and paralyzed.

  The doctors didn’t care about going home to rest, they all fell asleep on the table.

  Gu Jiao sat on the ground, holding her red spear in her arms, leaning on the pillar supporting the camp, and soon fell asleep.

  She was awakened by the heat, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that she had a thick robe on her body, which belonged to Gu Chengfeng.

  She took the robe away, stretched her feet, sat up straight, rubbed her aching neck and lower back.

  When she rubbed her back waist, her fingertips inadvertently touched a piece of cold object. She blinked weirdly, turned her head and saw that there was a pair of armor beside her.

  She snorted: "Whose armor?"

Hu Dongqiang walked into the camp with the cooked soup medicine and saw Gu Jiao, his eyes lit up: "My lord! You are awake! It just so happened that I cooked the soup medicine you told me to make, and it was to wake the patient up and feed him. ?"

   "Well, hello." Gu Jiao said.

   "Good!" Hu Dongqiang went to wake up the wounded soldier who needed medicine.

   "Whose armor is it?" Gu Jiao asked him.

   "Yours, right?" Hu Dongqiang said.

  "Mine?" Gu Jiao blinked.

  Hu Dongqiang speculated: "The blacksmith in the city last night repaired and forged armor for the soldiers. Maybe you made a pair for the adults."

  Gu Jiao went all over, stood up and tried.

  I blame the fit.

  She also put on the helmet, and took a picture in front of the water tank.

Well.

good looking.

  Gu Jiao shook her head!

  The ancient city of Moon is steep and surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is easiest to attack the city from the front without worrying about its strength.

  Chen's 20,000 army will naturally not be afraid of the thousands of troops in the ancient city of Yue, this is simply a crush without suspense.

  The highest general leading the army this time is Rong Yao’s youngest son Rong Fu.

Prefect Cheng heard that Rong Yao personally led the army, but in fact Rong Yao just sent the army out of Yecheng, and the leader who really led the army was his youngest son Rong Fu.

  In the dream, Rong Yao rushed to the city after Rong Fu was shot to death.

  The one who shot Rongfu was not the archer of the Tang family, but a very ordinary guard. The guard had never been able to shoot arrows at all, and he would be embarrassed if he hit Rongfu.

  Rongfu is more confused than him.

  Rongfu and Gu Changqing are equally famous, they are both young and famous generals, and they are about the same age.

  This battle is a crucial battle for Rong Fu, and he is determined to win.

Gu Jiao is not sure whether Rong Fu will be shot to death.

After all, many things have changed. Tang Yueshan’s army entered the city, and she and Gu Chengfeng also entered the city. The guard who shot Rong Fu to death may have been sent to another post by Tang Yueshan. The dreams are different.

  In the evening, Rong Fu ordered the siege of the city.
