Chapter 44: The Problem

The competition between Lu Bu and Jiang Jian came to an end soon, and the results of the competition were expected by everyone, but they were unreasonable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Everyone thought that Lu Bu would quickly defeat Jiang Jian with the attitude of a lion fighting a rabbit, but in fact, the two fought for more than 50 years, and finally Lu Bu used a move to "start the knife" to pick up Jiang Jian's weapon, and then another heavy split, and the blade stopped at two feet of Jiang Yin's forehead.

Although Lu Bu did not exert his strength, Jiang Jian's strength also won everyone's respect.

As we all know, Lu Bu's signature weapon is the Fang Tian Painting Halberd with a black rod and a silver edge, and he never thought that the knife would be so majestic.

The moves are still the ones that are practiced on weekdays, and even the names of every move used by Lu Bu can be pronounced quickly and accurately, but the same weapons and the same moves are used by Lu Bu, and they are even more imposing.

After observing this battle, most of the soldiers had a lot of gains and understandings in their hearts, which were precious, but difficult to describe in words.

The battle ended, and the drama got up and patted the dust on his clothes.

"Xice, the sun hasn't set yet, where are you going?"

Cao Xing asked curiously, in the past, he would watch the soldiers train until dark, and then eat in the barracks before leaving, but today he left a little early.

Xi Ce looked at the outline of Yunzhong County and replied: "Anyway, it's boring, go to the city." ”

On the stone-paved streets, Xi Ce was alone, wearing an old robe, slightly rickety, like a sixty-year-old man walking slowly.

Blacksmiths and forges can be found almost all over the city, and everywhere you go, you can hear the sound of "crackling" iron, as well as the chains of the hands and feet of the Xianbei people dragging on the ground, making a crisp sound of 'bang'.

A smile appeared on the corner of Xi Ce's mouth, quite satisfied with the city under his governance.

At this time, a hurried figure came from the opposite side of the street, apparently wanting to get out of the city.

And Xi Ce happened to know this person, so he shouted: "Hao Junhou, where are you going in such a hurry?" ”

Hao Meng, who was just rushing forward, heard this familiar voice, stopped his steps, looked around, and finally locked his eyes on Xi Ce.

Hao Meng trotted forward, saluted Xi Ce, knew that Xi Ce was his own person, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice: "I just received the battle report from the front-line scouts, and the Xianbei people began to storm Yanmen Pass in the early morning of the day before yesterday, and the battle lasted until dusk and sunset. ”

Xi Ce was a little puzzled by this, it stands to reason that the Xianbei people should have started as soon as possible, how could they delay until the day before yesterday before they started to attack.

"What about the casualties on both sides?"

This is the most important issue for Xice.

Hao Meng did not hide his reservations, and told them all, "In order to avoid being discovered by the Xianbei people, our people don't dare to get too close, but the visual inspection should be about one to three, and the Xianbei people have suffered nearly 20,000 casualties in one day." ”

"What!"

For the first time, this young man, who was almost unparalleled in wisdom, showed a shocked expression on his face, and the answer Hao Meng said was very different from what he had calculated in his heart.

Although the Xianbei people have an army of 100,000, they still adopt a backward tribal system, and they are only good at fighting on the flat grasslands.

If it is a sea of people tactics to forcibly attack the city, then according to their own correct deduction, the casualty ratio of the first wave of siege should be one to six, and the worst is one to five, how can it be one to three!

What went wrong?

Xi Ce's brows were tightly locked, and he couldn't figure it out, and there seemed to be angry waves surging in the depths of his eyes.

Xi Ce's expression really scared Hao Meng, not only Hao Meng, almost everyone in the army has never seen Xi Ce's really serious look, this ordinary-looking young man always looks calm on weekdays, he has never been angry, and he has never been more serious, as if everything that happened was in his expectations.

However, just now, the young man's face showed shock, and there was a tightly knit brow.

Hao Meng subconsciously thought that he had said something wrong, and asked cautiously, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xi Ce took a deep breath, calmed his mood a little, and asked Hao Meng with a little suspicion, "Do those Xianbei people have siege equipment?" ”

Hao Meng nodded and replied again: "There are wells, ladders, punches and other equipment. ”

Hearing Hao Meng's answer, Xi Ce finally understood why Xianbei people were able to suppress the damage ratio to such a small amount, and they missed a single one.

In the Han Dynasty, iron, salt, and weapons were all trades that were strictly controlled by the official court, not to mention important military items such as siege equipment.

With the existing resources and technology of the Xianbei people alone, it should not be possible to build large-scale siege equipment such as wells, but the Xianbei people have already used them to attack the city, which shows that there are Han people who have fornicated with Xianbei, and their positions are not low.

Day and night defense, in the end, it is difficult to prevent a thief.

Xi Ce sighed in his heart, the difference in his own thoughts is very likely to completely lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation, resulting in the loss of Yanmen Pass, the Xianbei people entering the south invasion, and the corpses of the entire state are everywhere.

At that time, it is estimated that Xi Ce will really become a sinner for the ages.

Now he can only pin all his hopes on General Zhang, hoping that he can stop the Xianbei people for another fifteen days, and when Lu Bu's cavalry is trained, everything may be reversed.

Xi Ce pulled Hao Meng aside and ordered: "Don't tell the general about this for the time being, so as not to distract him." If asked, you will say that the Xianbei people have been standing still, waiting for the best time to attack the city. ”

"This ......"

Hao Meng was a little hesitant, after all, the crime of concealing his boss was not small.

"What are you afraid of, if something happens, I'll take care of everything!"

There was courage in Xi Ce's eyes, if Lu Bu knew at this time, he might be able to do something with his impulsive personality.

Since the drama strategy said so, Hao Meng could only nod in agreement, and then said again: "But now there is a bigger problem in front of us." ”

Xi Ce's eyebrows unconsciously raised slightly, "What problem?" ”

Hao Meng originally wanted to go to Xi Ce for help, but now that Xi Ce took the initiative to ask, he simply said it all in one breath: "There is no meat to eat in the city, and the training intensity of the soldiers is great, if there is no meat supplement, their bodies will soon be unable to bear it." In the surrounding mountains and forests, wild animals have also been hunted by our people, and now there are more than 2,000 mouths waiting for food......

The house leaks and rains overnight, and the troublesome things are really like haunting people, one after another.

"If you really can't do it, you can only slaughter the war horse."

Hao Meng gritted his teeth and gave the last solution. If it is not a last resort, who is willing to slaughter these battlefield partners who get along day and night.

"Absolutely not!"

Xice immediately refuted this bad idea, if the war horses are used to fill the belly, then how to gallop to the Yanmen Pass in the future.

"What should I do?"

Hao Meng's brows were about to turn into a straight line.

"Now, there's only one way left......"

Xi Ce wrapped the clothes on his body tightly, and his tone did not carry any human emotion, and he ordered Hao Meng coldly: "Go, bring thirty Xianbei people." ”
