"Mr. Ren has withdrawn and is on the way back."

When Ren Baqian heard the sound from the walkie-talkie, he first looked at the two camps, but no Daxia army chased him out. After all, in such a dark night, the personal strength of the ancient clan could be further exerted.

Moreover, the two battalions have only barely calmed down now. It is estimated that they will be able to work hard for a while when they treat the wounded, put out the fires, and gather the chaotic troops.

"The matter is done, withdraw." Ren Baqian asked someone to carry the mortar, the machine gun and the ammunition box, so everyone retreated slowly. When they arrived at the city, they saw that the city gate was wide open and everyone entered the city.

Not long after everyone returned to the Chengling Mansion, Zhan Liu was also delivered.

The damage was not big, only a few hundred people, of which the flying cavalry were minimal, but the Central Protectorate Army lost three or four hundred people, but half of them were seriously injured and returned, with only about two hundred people killed in battle.

The losses of the ancient tribe are very small compared to those of Daxia.

The Daxia army suffered losses of at least 20,000 to 30,000, and a large amount of food and grass were burned.

However, Ren Baqian was attracted by something described by the return flying cavalry.

At the end of the night attack, as some ancient soldiers slashed and slashed in the camp, they barely gathered a group of bombs and encountered them, and they could not counterattack. The eastern camp launched several cannons.

This flying cavalry didn't take it seriously, but after the other party ignited the fire, countless iron nails were sprayed out, and several flying cavalry were beaten up in their bodies and died on the spot.

The number of injured flying cavalry is more, at least twenty.

Ren Baqian held it in his hand and looked at the iron nails they sent. They were half a foot long, the thickness of a little finger, and made of pig iron. The bottom was a hexagon that was slightly larger than the diameter.

"What is the range of this thing?" Ren Baqian asked.

"It can kill people at about two hundred steps." said a flying cavalry captain.

"In other words, those who were beaten to death by this thing were all fools who were facing him within a hundred steps, and I don't know how to hide, right?" Ren Baqian said angrily.

"The main reason is that although this thing is not far away, it is very powerful when it is close." The flying cavalry scratched his head and said, and he also felt that the death of those subordinates was too unfair.

"There are so many things that I can't imagine. I'll use this thing to you. Will you hide?" Ren Baqian took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at the Feiqian's forehead.

"Of course you have to hide!" The captain said quickly. The head of the Ren Mansion killed thousands of people before, and today he took out weapons that could attack the Daxia army a few miles away. Although it was not clear, they knew that it would be like a pile of steel balls that would be shot out as soon as the explosion occurred. Many flying cavalry saw this scene in the distance.

Now Ren Baqian is considered a name in the hearts of the Feiqi people. Although this person looks thin and weak, his things in his hands are all life-threatening.

Now no one dares to underestimate the things he takes out.

"Anyway, the night attack will be a complete victory, and Lord Ren will be the first to be the best." Li Qianqiu said with a smile.

Although the loss of three or four hundred people was enough to satisfy the loss of Daxia.

Ren Baqian waved his hand, and his expression was like fame and fortune to me.

"Although I don't know how much the other party's military ration has been lost, I must have lost some of it. During the night attack, the Flying Cavalry and the Central Army also saw that the place where they stored the food and grass was on fire."

This is something that Ren Baqian specifically notices.

"If the other party loses huge food and grass, the other party will definitely rush to let the rear transport grain. After a while, some walkie-talkies, a relay station and a radio station will be sent away. I suggest sending some flying cavalry to take the walkie-talkies and a relay station and a radio station to explore and search. If you encounter the Xia army's fast horse, you will immediately intercept and kill them. If you encounter the grain team, you can eat them together.

If you can’t eat, please contact the city through the radio station and send personnel to support it.”

The Empress and Li Qianqiu both nodded slightly. It is necessary to intercept the other party’s grain road. Ren Baqian’s suggestion is nothing wrong.

"And the Daxia army here may have two choices next.

The first is to shrink the troops and defend, focusing on siege. After all, this night attack should have hurt them.

But I think another point is also very likely, it is to be anxious.

If the opponent loses too much food and grass, it will take a long time for the grain transport team to arrive. The opponent may launch a large attack and consume his troops to share with us."

"What is Duizi?" Li Qianqiu asked immediately.

"If the opponent is very short of food, for example, only 100,000 people have two days of food ration left, but the food team will arrive in seven days, what should I do? Each person's food is not enough to reduce it by half. When they are so hungry that we can't move, we will attack again, and they will not even have a chance to fight back.

If that is the case, it is better to consume most of them. If the city can be broken, it will consume our troops if it is not broken. And their remaining troops, even if there is insufficient food and grass, will be enough to support the arrival of the grain team."

"If the other party loses too much food and grass, it is likely to do so."

"For their lives to exchange for our lives is Duizi." Ren Baqian concluded at last.

Li Qianqiu frowned and thought for a long time, then nodded slowly: "It's not that there is no possibility."

If you put yourself in the position of the other party’s general, you may choose this if there is no way.

Everyone discussed for a while, and when they saw that it was already late at night, they all went back to rest.

In general, both sides have spies and spies in the war, which can obtain a lot of useful information. However, in the war between Dayao and Daxia, both sides have almost no spies in the other side's army, so all information can only be based on speculation.

...

Da Yao and others went back to rest, but the military camp in Da Xia was brightly lit.

Treat the wounded, put out the fire, count the bodies, count the losses until dawn.

Wu Shenghou sat in the big tent with a blue face, motionless like a stone statue.

A rush of footsteps made him raise his eyelids, looked at the scribe who was walking in quickly, and asked in a deep voice: "How?"

"The main camp suffered losses of 11,000 casualties, the Dong camp suffered more than 23,000 losses, and the Wu camp had 876 people left.

The food and grass in Dongying only had 60,000 troops for two days, and lost 75% of them. The food and grass in Daying had 170,000 troops for ten days, and lost 60% of them, and Xiying did not lose."

"How long can the remaining food and grass last?" asked Wu Shenghou.

"There are still 60,000 troops in the Xiying area for two days of food and grass, plus the remaining ones in the Dongying area, which is enough for 140,000 troops to use one day. The remaining food and grass in the big camp is enough for more than four days. In other words, it is enough for five days to use. If the daily food and fodder supply is reduced by half, it can support ten days. However, in this way, the soldiers will be unable to attack."

"How long will the food and grass be delivered?" asked Wu Shenghou.

"There are ten days left." The scribe whispered. "But General Wenyuan and General Zhao Sheng should be able to mobilize some of them, as they are more convenient for supply on the border."

"Notify them!" Wu Shenghou said in a deep voice.

"Notify and let the soldiers have a full meal and attack the city in two hours!"

"Sir?" The scribe was shocked. The soldiers had not rested for almost a night. They were so anxious to attack the city today?

"Can't be delayed!" Wu Shenghou said with a ugly face. "You know the kind of attack that the Wu camp encountered yesterday?"

The scribe nodded.

"In addition to the thing that attacked the food and grass last night, and the things that they threw into the crowd that would explode. I don't know if the other party has any means to use it. I can't continue to drag it down. I will do my best to take Liao Cheng down, or force out all the cards in their hands."

Wu Shenghou is determined to block the railway. For generals, as long as they reveal their trump cards, they can always find a way to deal with them. Only the unknown is the most terrible thing. Because it is very likely that you will give you a head-on blow when you think you are about to win and lose all the game.

"I really didn't expect that those barbarians had such a thing in their hands." The scribe smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect it." Wu Shenghou sighed lightly. He now felt that he was a barbarian.

"These things cannot be Da Yao's, they were given to them by someone. Grab that person or kill him."

"The general knows who it is?" asked the scribe, and in fact he had a little guess in his heart.

"It should be that poisonous man. Yesterday, Chen Shi and the Wu Camp went out together and saw a man controlling a weapon from afar. He is the one in Liao City at present. What's more, he would rather kill the wrong one than let it go." Wu Shenghou said.

Ren Baqian was all guessing about the situation of the Daxia Army, so there were naturally many differences.

However, although the reasons are different, Wu Shenghou's decision was similar to what Ren Baqian guessed.

...

Ren Baqian sat in the hall in the morning to have breakfast, rolls, noodle soup, and a large pot of meat as big as a washing basin.

He watched the pot of meat disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is Your Majesty full?" Ren Baqian asked softly when the basin was bottoming out.

The empress tilted her head, thought for a while and replied: "Half full, but I will take the lead in reducing my appetite so that the food and grass in the city can last longer."

Ren Baqian:...

After the two of them had a few chats, someone came to report that Daxia had attacked the city.

The two looked at each other and let Baqian point fingers at him: "A wise man will get one thousand thoughts!"

The empress looked up and thought about it. It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but she always felt that something was wrong.

In the afternoon, Ren Baqian confirmed his previous thoughts.

The opponent's attack intensity is indeed much greater than before. Almost every moment, the soldiers of the Daxia Army are climbing upwards, and every moment, the soldiers fall from the city wall with screams.

Another day later, the intensity of Daxia's offensive continued to increase. More than 100,000 troops attacked almost in turn, and the city walls in three directions were fighting from morning to night.

Ren Baqian walked to the small hall of the Chengling Mansion and saw Li Qianqiu who issued an order inside. After he finished speaking with the others, he went forward and asked, "Can you still hold on?"

"They will be almost the same as 100,000 people." Li Qianqiu said without caring.

Ren Baqian nodded, "If the pressure is too high, use the remaining explosives."

"Didn't you use it all the night before yesterday?" Li Qianqiu said in confusion.

"I still have a box!" Ren Baqian said. The three hundred explosive tubes were filled with two boxes. He took out half of them when the catapult was blown up that day, and used them all during the night attack. Now there is still a box left.

"Come on, follow me to search the house!" Li Qianqiu stood up from behind the desk and walked out in a meteor, shouting as he walked.

Who knows who uses this thing? Anyway, in Li Qianqiu's eyes, this is a treasure. Whether it's useful or not, you can get it first.
