"I don't know when the food and grass will arrive. The food and grass in Songshan County will last for another ten days at most. This is the situation where the defenders are tightening their belts and the soldiers of the Ligu Ministry are eating corned buns."

Listening to Mo Sang and Miao Youfang talking about how to become a champion after the war, what Xu Erlang was thinking about was food and grass.

The fighters from the Power Gu Department and the flying beast army from the Heart Gu Department directly overwhelmed Songshan County.

Not to mention the flying beasts, it's understandable that they have a big appetite given their size. . But the clansmen of the Ligu tribe made the defenders of Songshan County "shocked into heaven".

The defenders ate with bowls in their hands, and the soldiers of the Ligu Department ate with rice buckets beside them.

During the war, the defenders ate three meals a day and two meals a day.

The soldiers of the Force Gu Department eat four meals a day, and five meals during wartime.

Xu Erlang was mentally prepared at first, after all, Lina and Lingyin were just eating, and the Xu family was very rich now.

Not to mention four hundred fighters from the Power Gu Department.

But Xu Erlang still underestimated the food intake of the fighters of the Force Gu Department. It was inaccurate for him to use the usual food intake of Lina and Lingyin as a reference.

Because of the stupid sister and her stupid master, they can only laugh and laugh on weekdays, without consumption.

How can it be compared with a warrior who licks blood at the edge of a knife?

"As long as I get food and grass supplements, I can keep Songshan County forever." Xu Nian secretly said.

Dafeng's cannons and bed crossbows are responsible for the firepower coverage, the flying beast army of the Heart Gu Department throws strikes from high altitude, the corpse controllers of the Corpse Gu Department manipulate dead soldiers who are not afraid of life and death, and the people of the Dark Gu Department are responsible for assassination.

The Force Gu Department is responsible for cleaning up the enemy troops who climbed up the top of the wall.

Coupled with Xu Erlang's commanding ability, the Songshan County Guard is impenetrable.

Now the rebels outside the city, 9,000 elite and 20,000 miscellaneous troops have changed their strategy from siege to siege, trying to make Songshan County the second Wan County.

It is worth mentioning that the miscellaneous army is a militia composed of ordinary people. It is composed of refugees and young men who were forced to enlist in the army. The leaders are Jiang Hu recruited by the Yunzhou rebels.

"The last time I heard Erlang say that as long as the Spring Festival is over, the state of Qingzhou will improve?"

Miao Youfang has two things in one mind, chatting while playing chess, and feels that he is indeed a genius.

"It is the situation in the entire Central Plains that will improve. The cold disaster is the main reason, followed by the lack of food, which has caused the current chaotic situation. Once spring begins, the cold will no longer be able to threaten the people."

Holding the book in his hands, Xu Cijiu put the half-eaten corn bread on the side of the table, saving some food, and said:

"Secondly, farming is the instinct of the people. Only by farming in spring can they harvest in autumn. Many refugees will choose to pick up hoes again. As long as the imperial court redistributes the abandoned land, a large part of the refugees can be solved.

"However, when the time comes, there will definitely be countless gentry and nobles taking the opportunity to annex the land, leaving no way for the common people to survive. It depends on whether Emperor Yongxing is bold enough."

Speaking of this, he frowned his delicate and beautiful eyebrows. The new monarch is good at everything, but he lacks courage and is more than conservative.

If you do great things, you can't count on them.

If Emperor Yongxing could follow his strategy and secretly "sacrifice" the gentry and nobles, the powerful landlords, and the guys who annexed the land after the spring, the number would drop sharply.

"What if we still fail to hold on after the Spring Festival?"

Miao Youfang used to raise the bar: "Will you die in Songshan County, or run away?"

Mo Sang raised his head up:

"The fighters of the Force Gu Department will not escape. If I die in the Central Plains, remember to help me send the bones back to the southern border and give them to my father."

Miao Youfang looked at Xu Erlang again, who pondered and said:

"Do your best and obey the destiny. If it really comes to a situation where you have to die, Xu, as a scholar, will naturally sacrifice his life for righteousness. How about you, Brother Miao?"

"How can I die in battle? I will become a hero in the future. Well, if there is such a day, remember to engrave the word "Hero" on my tombstone. Then say sorry to Xu Yinluo for me. "

Miao Youfang thought for a while, and said, "By the way, I have to burn a few maidservant paper figurines for me every year. Even if this hero goes to the underworld, he still wants to sleep with women."

Xu Cijiu shook his head, keeping his eyes on the book of war, and stretched out his hand to grab the corn bread, but in vain.

Um? He turned his head and saw that the table was empty. He looked up again and saw that Mosang chewed a couple of mouthfuls, swallowed the corn bread, then pretended nothing happened, and seriously played chess with Miao Youfang.

Cheng Bi Niang's non-yue Xu New Year cursed secretly, without emotion on the surface, said:

"Brother Mosang, seeing you, my lord always thinks of Lingmei."

The dark-skinned Mosang turned around in a daze, and said:

"How to say?"

He knew that Xu New Year was Xu Yinluo's younger brother, and that Lina had stayed at Xu's house for more than half a year.

Xu Erlang looked sincere:

"Brother Mosang and Lina are pure people, and they have fully carried forward the saying "Food is the most important thing for the people". If people in the whole world can be like your brothers and sisters, Kyushu has long been governed by doing nothing, and there will be no such thing. There's been a lot of war."

Mo Sang didn't expect that he and his sister could get Xu Nian, a two-rank Jinshi. He was very happy when he was so respected. He laughed and said:

"My lord Xu has been praised, but I can't bear it because I'm stupid. But Lina, my father often praises her for being smart since she was a child."

Does your father have any misunderstanding about "smart since childhood". Xu Xinian nodded and read quietly.

Miao Youfang felt that there was something in Xu Erlang's words, but he had no proof.

Mentioning Lina, Mosang talked about the increase in sex, saying:

"These days you've been busy fighting wars, and you're all messing around in the Central Plains. Do you know my sister Lina's nickname in the Central Plains?"

Idiot? Xu Erlang complained subconsciously.

Miao Youfang didn't participate in the complaints because he was not familiar with Lina. Otherwise, with his low-level desire to survive as "the ugliest sister-in-law", he might have started a rap around Mosang to complain about Lina.

"What nickname?"

Miao Youfang took advantage of Mosang's turning to look at Xu Erlang, and secretly changed a chess piece with the ability of transforming energy.

Mo Sang listened to his chest, gathered the tip of his tongue together, and spit out like a Buddhist mantra: "Flying Swallow Lady!"

"What?!"

Xu Erlang raised his head in astonishment.

Miao Youfang stared at Mo Sang in a daze.

Satisfied with their stunned expressions, Mo Sang held his head up:

"Lina has been in the rivers and lakes for half a year, and she is deeply loved by you people in the Central Plains, and she is called the Feiyan Lady."

As expected of a scholar, Xu Cijiu said slowly with his usual expression:

"Who told you that."

"Lina said it herself." Mosang replied.

Just as Miao Youfang was about to expose it, he saw Xu Erlang give him a wink, so he sent a voice transmission to ask:

"What's wrong?"

Xu Cijiu hadn't mastered the technique of sound transmission, so he just shook his head slightly.

Got it, what Erlang meant was to wait for Mosang to make a big deal of it, and then watch his jokes. It's not the time yet, and the excitement is not big enough. Miao Youfang followed Xu Qi'an for no reason.

Immediately thought of the Holy Son.

Tell him after the battle, otherwise it will affect his fighting spirit and morale. Xu Erlang thought to himself.

At this moment, the roar of the black-scaled flying beast came, and then the wind broke out. The three people in the urn knew that there was an army of flying beasts landing on the top of the city.

After waiting for a while, hurried footsteps came from far to near, and a heart gu master in rattan armor rushed in, whispering to Mo Sang in Nanjiang dialect.

Miao Youfang and Xu Erlang looked at Mo Sang, who jumped up and said in an increasingly fluent Mandarin of the Central Plains:

"The rebel army ten miles away joined the reinforcements and came this way."

Guo County.

The Qingzhou army stationed in Dongling City, after half a month of field battles with the Yunzhou rebels, losing 60% of their soldiers, finally couldn't hold on, withdrew from the boundary of Dongling, and stationed in the nearby Guo County to rest.

Their enemies were the two elite armies of "Black Armor" and "Green Python" led by Ji Xuan, plus 3,000 miscellaneous troops.

The Black Armored Army consisted of 600 heavy cavalry and 2,300 light cavalry.

Green Python is 4,000 elite infantry, equipped with 80 cannons, 30 bed crossbows, and 2,000 firecrackers and crossbows.

Such a well-equipped and brave division is naturally not something that the Qingzhou Army can compete with.

Even though Sun Xuanji brought a large amount of firearms and equipment before rushing to Qingzhou, the facts proved that the army of Qingzhou Guards was far inferior to the elite division of Yunzhou.

The Qingzhou army is not the trump card of the Dafeng army, but they are facing one of the elite troops of the rebel army.

In terms of mid-level combat power, Dongling's defenders were still inferior to the elite troops led by Ji Xuan.

The only one who could turn the situation back was Sun Xuanji, a rank-three warlock.

It is true that a warlock's personal combat power is far inferior to that of a warrior of the same level, but in terms of destructive power, in the third-rank realm, a warlock is ranked second, and no one dares to be number one.

The thick-haired Yuan Hufa walked on the top of the city, saying to everyone:

"The Wan Yao Kingdom has been rebuilt."

The Dongling army has long been familiar with this monster ally, and they both love and hate him. What they love is his strong combat power at the fourth-rank level, and he is a reliable comrade-in-arms.

What I hate is that this comrade-in-arms will "stab" you anytime and anywhere.

In the early morning of this morning, the news of the restoration of the Southern Demon came back to Qingzhou. Yuan Hufa was ecstatic, standing on the top of the city and crying to the sky, expressing his joy.

Then tell everyone about it.

"Congratulations, Wan Yao Kingdom is my good ally."

A centurion looked at Protector Yuan who was approaching, and smiled eagerly.

Yuan Hufa looked at him unhappily, and said:

"Your heart tells me: This dead monkey has no end."

"." The centurion's face turned red suddenly, he didn't know whether to explain or pretend he didn't hear, and wanted to leave his post in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Yuan Hufa didn't make things difficult for him, and walked away wisely, announcing the good news to other defenders he knew.

"well!"

The centurion looked at Yuan Hufa's back and sighed.

I don't know if Guo County can hold it, and how long it can hold it. The bones of the brothers who died in the field were too late to be collected.

At this moment, there was a loud noise in the sky, and a red light exploded high in the sky.

This was the signal of the enemy's attack, and the person who sent the signal was Sun Xuanji, who was in the fort floating above Guoxian County, and who used the qi technique to warn the incoming enemy.

Wan County.

Counting it down, Wan County has been besieged for a month.

During this period, the rebels attacked the city intermittently dozens of times. The chief envoy of Qingzhou dispatched troops to support them many times, but they were all eaten up by the Yunzhou army.

It wasn't until the Flying Beast Army from the Heart Gu Department arrived that this decline was reversed.

But for the defenders stationed in Wan County, exhaustion has penetrated into their bones, and even the most combative people are eager to end this beast-like struggle as soon as possible.

But for Zhang Shen, a military master who has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years, it is a great shame to be forced into such a predicament in the first battle.

Even though he was isolated and helpless, he has kept Wanjun up to now, and he lives up to his reputation.

Zhang Shen climbed up to the top of the city, looking around, the city wall was full of potholes, scorched marks, and cracks blasted by the artillery, some places were even blasted open a gap, the female wall was completely destroyed, like someone whose teeth were smashed.

More than half of the defenders were killed and injured, and the militia was forcibly recruited, and now more than half of the militia is also killed and injured.

The cloud of war hangs over this small city.

In the blue sky, a giant beast flapped its wings and flew towards Wanjun.

The giant glides and lands slowly on the top of the city, and the heart Gu master riding on his back said to Zhang Shen:

"Thirty miles to the south, a large number of enemy troops are approaching."

After the Flying Beast Army came to help, Zhang Shen, who took the time to learn Nanjiang dialect for a few days, nodded solemnly, and said in a fluent Nanjiang accent:

"The officer knows."

He turned sideways, looked towards the south, and said slowly:

"I can see for thirty miles."

After the words fell, his vision changed drastically, the surrounding scenery disappeared, and his perspective was infinitely zoomed out, until he was thirty miles away.

In the line of sight, the endless enemy army team came slowly, with fierce banners.

The flag fluttered in the wind and unfolded, revealing the character "Qi".

Zhang Shen said "Hey", looked away, and whispered to himself:

"Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, this turtle grandson is finally here."

Tanglin City.

Xu Pingfeng, who was dressed in white clothes like snow, took a jug of wine in his hand and climbed to the sky in one step, reaching above the sea of ​​clouds.

The golden light followed closely and turned into a Gala tree Bodhisattva, standing beside Xu Pingfeng.

Opposite the two, the supervisor with white hair, white clothes and white beard had been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher Supervisor."

Xu Pingfeng half-flyed and half-floated between the two sides, and sat on the ground in the sea of ​​clouds. With a wave of his sleeves, there was a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces in front of him.

"I remember when I was learning art with you, every three days, our master and apprentice would play a game of chess, and I never won."

Xu Pingfeng's tone was calm, and he said in a tone of emotion:

"Twenty years since we left Beijing, you and I will never see each other again, and we haven't played chess for twenty years. Teacher Jianzheng, can you accompany your disciple in the next game?"
