Chapter 481 Southward

In the following days, Wucheng began to become lively.

First of all, reinforcements from the Southern Protectorate finally arrived.

Five thousand people swept almost half of the north. After entering the Tianjing Land, the reinforcements were directly divided into five teams to attack at the same time.

Thanks to the various arrangements before Ren Baqian, many cities directly opened the city to surrender, reducing many casualties and saving a lot of time. For such a city that directly surrendered, this army almost passed through the city without stopping, leaving only dozens of people guarding the city.

After all, dozens of human-wheeled warriors are quite powerful in ordinary cities.

Even the elite soldiers of Daxia need ten times the number of troops to compete, let alone these defenders holding bone swords. Even if something happens, as long as there is no expert above the Earth Wheel, these soldiers can always escape.

When Ren Baqian returned from the Golden Ring Mansion, the flying cavalry sent out almost wiped out the north. Even if there were any masters who had missed the net, they were now hiding in the dark and did not dare to show up easily.

There were also a few cities that resolutely resisted. Several separate armies gathered together to attack. After breaking the city, they killed all the officials in the city, and the air of the entire city was filled with blood.

As for the chaos that arises in the city after they leave because there is no officials, they don’t pay attention to it. How to calm the city down is something that others need to consider. Killing all those who dare to resist is what they should do.

Under such circumstances, they only arrived in Wucheng, which they could reach in fifteen days, and swept away the scattered resistance forces in the north.

The person who led the support team was also a familiar friend of Ren Baqian, Hongcheng.

Hongwu's son, Hongshi's father.

When they fought against Daxia in the north and finally encircled the lonely army, Hongwu led reinforcements from the Southern Protectorate to head north. Ren Baqian also met him, and now this is the second time he has met.

Wucheng is just a small city, and after these more than 4,000 reinforcements arrived, they almost filled the city.

The problem that brought about was the shortage of food in Wucheng. The previous 1,000 troops and 800 flying cavalry almost emptied all the food and grass in Wucheng, and even the rations of the defenders were all snatched away.

Now that this group of troops has arrived, Wucheng has completely lost food.

"Your Majesty, there is no food in the city, and it is only enough for three days at most." Xi Wanya said to the empress.

"According to my opinion, everyone in the city has to leave only five days of food rations, and the rest must be paid, and the military rations should be replenished for a week."

"If you only leave Wucheng, you will force the people to die. If you have five days of food rations, you can only live for more than ten days if you tighten your stomach. Looking at the crops outside the city, it will take at least more than a month to harvest." Ren Baqian shook his head and said.

"What can I do if Lord Ren?"

"Wucheng must be exported. But we cannot just go out from Wucheng. Each city in the north pays 2,000 stones of grain, that is, 100 vehicles. The personnel and the losses are all subject to their own responsibility. In this way, thirty cities can have 60 days of military rations. It is enough to pacify the rebels in the south. Even if it is not enough, it doesn't matter." Ren Baqiandao. As long as you take down the Sanjiang land, there will be a lot of grain.

In this world, one stone is about one hundred pounds, and two thousand stones are only two hundred thousand pounds, which is barely enough to eat 6,000 soldiers and 800 flying cavalry for two days.

The land of Tianjing has a lot of food and few livestock. Ordinary soldiers can eat eleven or two kilograms of this kind of grain similar to millet, while the flying cavalry costs twenty or five kilograms.

The smoke in the city has never stopped these days.

It has to be said that the powerful combat power of the ancient clan is supported by its strong appetite.

We started a war with Daxia before, because there were many livestock in the north and were quite rich in meat, this was not obvious. After all, ordinary meat can provide five times the energy of food and grass. Now that we have arrived at Tianjing Land, this problem has been completely exposed.

Ren Baqian just wants to say that the ancient clan is really a bunch of foodies.

"There is only two days for Sifeng, Chen arrived in the second city and Wucheng, and only three days for Xinyu to arrive here when he arrived in Mingcheng a little further away. The grain from these four cities can last for eight days. With this time, the grain from even a little further city can be delivered. So there is no need to consider the problem of grain and grass." After Ren Baqian said that, the empress nodded.

"The issue of food and grass should be done as the head of Ren's court said. In addition, a group of livestock were mobilized from Gucheng. Before the war, I always had to eat enough, otherwise I would have no strength." The empress spoke lightly.

"Yes!" Xi Wanya replied.

"In addition, we have been here for too long and should have moved south. Now the rebels have converged in the Sanjiang River Basin, and they should have wanted to rely on the two dangerous places, Wangjiangkou and Dulongling, to rely on the dangerous and advantageous location to fight against the imperial army.

The six cities, including Lingdong, Jiangbei, Liugou, Jinsha, Pingjiang and Han'an, from the north of the Sanjiang River Basin to Wucheng, were abandoned by them. Just the day before yesterday, the defenders of the six cities had withdrawn. I believe that the people of these six cities were in chaos and suffering, looking forward to the army of the court, hoping to see His Majesty's Tianyan as soon as possible and rescue them, the abandoned people as soon as possible.

Now the time is almost done. Yichen said that he would take down these six cities first and look at the rebels in the Sanjiang Land through two dangerous obstacles, which would also add some pressure to them." Ren Baqian said that the retreat of the defenders of these six cities was what he heard from the martial artists who arrived in Wucheng in the past two days.

I have to say that these martial artists in the world are really useful sometimes. Ren Baqian is considering using these martial artists to form a horse camp.

It can be used in the land of heaven and scenery or facing several other countries.

Xi Wanya scratched his head and looked forward to it. Where did you see it from, Director Ren?

Why did I see them afraid of death?

"Mr. Ren, it's coming out again!" Xi Wanya pointed at the tip of the gun and iron chain on Ren Baqian's head and said subconsciously.

"It's okay, a child, everything is fresh and I can't stay there. It'll be fine after a while." Ren Baqian said indifferently.

The divine weapon will only have consciousness after the master dies, and the newly born consciousness is like a baby, and everything is fresh and active. This is normal. Keep a kitten and puppy and sniff it everywhere.

It’s better to have a long time, don’t iron cables come out rarely now?

Xi Wanya looked at the iron chain wrapped around Ren Baqian's head wrapped around the tip of the gun, looking like a whip...

After some discussion, Xiwanya sent people to inform the cities to prepare food and grass. Ren Baqian called Zuo Cheng and asked him to dispatch personnel to set out with two thousand troops to suppress the riots in the cities that lost all their officials and defenders, and at the same time do a good job of comforting them.
