The sky was full of wind and snow, and the night was cold and windy. The enemy attacked the city during the day, and the enemy attacked the city at night. The long night passed, and the battle at the top of the city did not stop at all. At this time, the Qin and Wei army had only more than 300,000 left, and the more than 300,000 were divided into five formations. One formation lasted for more than five hours, and it took only 40,000 to attack the city day and night. The Chu army in the city reduced the injuries and illnesses. It was divided into three formations except for the sanitation palace armor. The Qin army also rotated the Chu army. However, in this way, the Chu army was no longer able to attack and could only passively defend the city. Although the cavalry had time to sanitation, Lian Po was not allowed to leave the city.

The war is fierce, and the consumption of food and fodder will be more than one day. Four foods (1.5 stones/month) are what you eat in your leisure time. Once you work in farming, you must eat ginseng (2 stones/month). If it is a battle, it is a fighting food (3 stones/month). In more than three months, each soldier has consumed five stones of millet, and at most one and a half stones are left. The soldiers who died in battle and died of illness left more than 30,000 stones, and each person has barely two and a half stones of millet. With such a intensity of the war, even if the horse is killed, food and fodder can last up to one month.

It's time to replenish food.

Chen Ying was in the Mingtang, and the sand table for supply combat was placed in front of Xiong Jing. This was the combat plan proposed by Zhou Shi Hong Liu and others and led the strategists to discuss through the sanitation general. In addition to supplying food, fodder, and fodder, the other one was to transport the wounded.

The plan has been discussed many times, and Xiong Jing can't see anything wrong with his eyes. The real question is whether the soldiers in the lake and the soldiers in the Honggou can be coordinated. If both sides cooperate well, the plan will inevitably be successful. If the cooperation is not good, the battle is likely to fail.

"Why didn't the Xunzhou boat be seen?" Feixun Station was originally built on land, but later moved to the boat. The boat was in the gulf, and the Qin army had no choice but to do anything.

"Report to the king, there is little water in the floodgate in winter. The Qin people shoot boats with rockets, so the boats have to retreat." The Red Crane's boat troops were trapped in the city, but they patrolled the East Lake every day, and often encountered the Qin army's rockets during patrol. After saying that, he said, "Please don't worry, there are soldiers from our army on the other side of the floodgate, and the message is correct."

"Is it so afraid of fire?" Xiong Jing murmured. He did not expect that the time for Xunzhou to receive and receive the flyout was several hours. These few hours were enough for the Qin army's rockets on the shore to light the boat.

"What is the king?" Hong Liu didn't hear what Xiong Jing said clearly.

"Nothing happens. Send it out." The combat plan is condensed into dozens of words and will be repeatedly issued on the southeast corner tower.

*

"Report——! Chen Ying is urgent, Chen Ying is urgent!" Less than four hours after Chen Ying sent the Feixun, the Feixun was transmitted to the Great Sima Mansion of Yingdu. The translated Xunwen was first read by Yin Naojiu, and after reading it, Naojiu gave it to Zuo Tu Zhaoshu. After reading it, Zhaoshu gave it to the new Grand Sima Mansion Hou Yitu, who was the new Grand Sima Mansion, and finally Song Yuzimo and others.

"The Qin army attacked the city day and night, and it was not until night. The food and fodder in the city was only enough for a month." Zimo sighed. He could imagine Chen Ying's corpse and sea of ​​blood. After taking a breath of cold air, his voice was a little sad: "The king is in danger! Since he can defeat the Qin army and transport the wounded, why not take the king back to Yingdu?"

"Come back to the king?" Everyone shook their heads, and Song Yu said helplessly: "Would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister? It is not brave at this time. How can the king leave Chen?"

Is it better to have kings, princes, generals and ministers? This sentence has no impact on the world at all as compared to the Daze Township Uprising twenty-seven years later. Xiong Jing's answer to this is: No. No. Those who are brave and trustworthy are more valuable!

This sentence that denies the aristocratic rank, but Xiong Jing's answer gave Song Yu a theoretical foundation to stabilize the existing high and low rank of Chu. That is, the reason why the Qing (Xiong) clan was king was because his ancestors were brave and trustworthy. After the founding of the country for thirty-three generations, most of the forty-three kings were brave and brave. Even if there were foolish monarchs, they would be brave enough to respect the previous kings.

The king of Chu has always had the ancestral teachings of not sending troops for three years and never following the etiquette. The fact that Chu can expand from fifty miles of viscount to thousands of miles of today is all due to the bravery of the king. From this perspective, it is natural for the lord to be the king to be the king. The royal family has stabilized, and the nobles and gentry have also stabilized. After 800 years of Chu, after looking through the family history, who has no family who is happy to fight and dares to die?

However, such an explanation will inevitably make the atmosphere in Chu completely value martial arts over literature, but for the nobles and nobles, this is actually a good thing. Youdao is to be poor, rich, and martial arts, how to eat meat without money? How to ride and shoot without money? How to buy Jujia Jujian without money? Poor families are not fed, and where can they get the strength to practice martial arts at the turn of Spring and Autumn?

Private soldiers were already legal last year. As long as they were nobles (including honorary scholars), they could form an army as long as they reported to the Grand Sima Mansion and had qualified officers and staff. But everyone was waiting and watching, and only now began to recruit soldiers on a large scale.

‘Why would you rather have a king, prince, general, and minister? The impact on Chu State is off topic, but since the king has determined the highest ideology of Chu State - those who are brave and trustworthy are more important, the king himself must abide by this principle. It is impossible to withdraw from Chen Ying at this time. Withdrawing from Chen Ying at this time will only defile the honor of the king.

After Song Yu said that, no one answered, Zuo Tu Zhaoshu coughed and said, "When will the Big Winged Warship be built?"

"It will take at least three months." Naojiu knows the progress of building the mansion best. To mobilize private shipyards outside the mansion, time is the biggest problem, and they must learn brand new shipbuilding techniques.

"The city will inevitably be broken in March." Yi Tu took over as the prefect of the Grand Sima Mansion. He also knew the progress of building the mansion. He also knew that Chen Ying could not hold on for three months. "And the monthly production of Jujia was only 5,000 sets, less than 10,000 sets in the army, more than 50,000 people, and only half of the soldiers were wearing armor."

"This month, 5,000 sets can be reached next month, 8,000 sets can be available next month, and 10,000 sets next month, and more than 10,000 sets in the third month, which is more than 40,000 sets." Naojiu disagrees with Yitu's point of view. Most of the common people who eat in Yingdu in Pingyu, Chengyang and Chen County have completed training and can already do some simple assembly of armor. Because of the rolling mill, the bottlenecks are all in assembly. "More than 50,000 soldiers and more than 40,000 huge armor can be fought by the Qin people."

"Thirty thousand soldiers are enough!" As the prefect of the Grand Sima Mansion, Yi Tu naturally knew the plan to attack Ao Cang. "You can select 30,000 elite soldiers from the king's army and the monarch's army. Once you have enough 20,000 sets of huge armor next month, you can attack."

"No!" Naojiu shook his head vigorously. "The burning is only one of them. Gaoku has been short of food for a long time, and our army must seize it with all its might. In addition, next month, there will be only 120 Dayi ships, and there are still 60 ships left. The soldiers have not practiced, so how can they row?"

After two consecutive years of war, the Yingdu Gaoku, the county and county Gaoku were either bottomed out or were about to bottom out. Now the food and fodder depended on Qi and Yan to help. Zhao was silent because of the dispute over the Giant Iron Arts and lied that there was no food in the country. However, this came at a price. Qi obtained twenty simplified versions of the catapults, and Yan obtained two thousand Giant Iron Swords.

Ao Cang stored more than 40 million stones of grain. If part of the grain could be transported back after the capture, it would definitely alleviate the domestic corn crisis.

This is not impossible. The Honggou water is directed from the Yellow River to Daliang, and the Yellow River and a large number of beams have Butianze. In ancient times, the big zodiac always gradually turned into farmland. In the Tang Dynasty, there were still fifty miles east-west and twenty-six miles north-south. It was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that Butianze finally turned into fertile fields.

Because of the existence of the gulf, today's Putianze is 110 miles wide from east to west and more than 80 miles long from north to south. As long as the corn in Ao Cang is transported to the highlands in Putianze, it can be transported back to Chu State bit by bit in the future. Putianze is more than 80 miles away from Ao Cang, and one hundred large boats can transport 150,000 stones of corn at one time, and twice day and night, that is 300,000 stones. If all the boats and oars of Chu State are transferred to Ao Cang to transport grain, they can transport 1.8 million stones on a day, and ten days will be 1,800,000 stones.

Ao Cang is an important place in the Qin army. After the surprise attack, it will inevitably require 50,000 elite armored soldiers wearing huge armor. This means that the surprise attack must be until April, and at the earliest, the end of March. But can Chen Ying really last for another three months?

Ruoying Palace is still in the incense, and every time Naojiu comes here to see the Queen Mother, he feels a little nervous. Rejecting the Queen Mother to deliver the order of the Queen Mother to Qin to the State of Qin to give the magnificent iron technique and the stone casting weapon, Naojiu feels a little guilty. Moreover, the Queen Mother has summoned him alone recently, and when he meets, he left the left and right, and the lonely man and woman are alone in the room, making him feel even more uncomfortable. Just now, when he ascended the steps, the two temple people looked at him a few times, and finally walked quickly.

"What's wrong with Chen Ying?" Concubine Zhao smiled and personally poured tea for Naojiu. She had changed her clothes especially, wearing a red dress with a curved skirt, a wide ribbon around her waist, and her collar was wide open, revealing a piece of crystal white breast. Naojiu just glanced and moved her eyes away.

"Report to the Queen Mother, the King is safe." Naojiu said this old saying.

"Well. I know the king is fine." Concubine Zhao tied a bun that was common for a noble woman. She exhaled like orchids. When she poured tea, she almost looked close to Naojing. After pouring tea, she did not return to the table, but moved to Naojing's table and asked softly: "Do Lingyin think I am beautiful?"

"Ah!" Naojiu seemed to have been stabbed by someone. He stood up anxiously, took a few steps and hurriedly bowed. He shouted, "I am rude! I am rude!" After shouting a few words, he said, "I am rude, rude, rude..." Then he ran out of Ruoying Palace like a headless fly, and fell down when he was down.

Concubine Zhao was born in the King of Zhao. Even if she had not seen any incidents about the men and women of the King of Zhao, she had heard a lot of people. The Queen Mother could be tyranted in Zhao State, but there was no precedent for the Queen of Chu State. Therefore, the Yin dared not accept the orders of her. There was no way to seduce Naoji. Whoever wanted to seduce Naoji fled in the desert just now.

"Why..." Naojiu, who rushed outside Ruoying's palace, was still breathing. He was ashamed and wished he could draw his sword and commit suicide immediately. Seeing that he was asking him in this right way, two temple people flashed out in front of him before he finished speaking. "Swoosh...", two feather arrows suddenly flew out of the temple people's arms.
