The Boss Medicine of Quick Transmigration is Coming

Chapter 233 Half City Smoke and Sand (85)

Eighty percent of the entire Cangzhou army's food reserves are here. Now that they are burned, the Cangzhou army will soon fall into a state of insufficient supply.

The spy who set the fire was the granary guard, a man who had lived in Cangzhou since he was a child.

No one thought that a person who had lived in Cangzhou City for more than ten years and had been an official would be a spy of Qin.

The spy was killed by random arrows shortly after he succeeded, but the grain and grass are flammable, and it is dry winter now, and the fire cannot be controlled at all.

It wasn't until after dawn that all the grain and grass in the granary had been burnt out, and the fire gradually extinguished. Looking at the granary with ashes and embers, Lei Liang's face turned black, and outside the city, the Qin army attacked again.

The fact that the city was mixed with spies was normal in wartime, but the spies were arranged more than ten years ago. This can only prove that Qin has been planning today's actions since the last failure!
The news of the Qin army's attack came from the west gate over there, and Lei Liang's mood could be said to be on the verge of breaking out at any time.

Xi Fan knew about the burning of the granary in the city.

With a whistle, she called the hidden guard who was guarding her side: "Go to a nearby town and let Lingxiao Trading Company buy food, the more the better, regardless of the cost, and pack it together with the part that was stored before, waiting for my order at any time."

"It's the little master."

Watching the hidden guard go away, Yan Yuheng asked, "Are you preparing for Cangzhou City?"

"Well, I know that General Lei will definitely find a way to deal with the food problem, but I am worried that since spies have appeared in the city and burned down the granary, will the soldiers who sent orders be fine? If they all have problems, wait until When you find out, it will be too late to think of a solution.”

"Aren't you going to find Lei Liang?"

Xi Fan shook his head: "Wait a minute. He has too much prejudice against me and won't listen to my advice easily."

Yan Yuheng agrees with this.

Lei Liang's character is too rigid. He always thought that it is good for women to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. There is no need for a woman to meddle in military and state affairs. Even if he knew that Xi Fan was capable, he would not want her to come and point fingers.

So now even if Xi Fan told him that she had a way to get food, Lei Liang wouldn't believe it and wouldn't care. He would only give in if he really felt the pain.

In this way, another three days passed.

The Qin army has been attacking every day for the past three days.

At the beginning, Lei Liang was still commanding, but on the third day, Lei Liang became restless.

He had already dispatched messengers to report the situation. Even if the imperial city did not reply due to the distance, he should have replied to his letters asking for food and reinforcements from surrounding towns.

As a result, for three days, Hong Kong Post disappeared forever.

There will be no support for natural food and reinforcements.

The daily consumption of the Cangzhou army is very huge, especially after the granary was burned, the remaining grain for three days is the limit, and if you want to continue, you can only collect grain from the city residents.

And in this way, ordinary citizens in the entire Cangzhou City will fall into a huge panic. They may be able to hold on for a day or two. After a long time, the citizens who lack food and see no hope will rush to the city gate to escape. possible.

The hidden danger is not generally big.

For the past three days, on the first day, the Cangzhou Army provided the soldiers with three meals a day.

I didn't get a reply letter the next day, so in order to save food, I changed it to two meals a day.

On the third day, the stored food was already stretched out, and it seemed that all of it had been consumed, so it had to be reduced to one meal a day.
