On the city wall, the danger is getting worse.

The imperial army lacked kerosene, so they could only take tung oil and cooking oil from the imperial kitchen and pour them into clay pots.Unfortunately, this kind of grease is far inferior to kerosene in terms of temperature and ignition point.Even if it is thrown out, it is only thunder and rain, and there are only a handful of enemy troops that can really be killed.

The kerosene was no longer effective, and Li Jin did not sit still.

Quickly walked down from the city wall and strode into the main hall.

Everyone turned pale with shock when they saw Li Jin, who was dusty and covered in blood.

"Teacher...Teacher, what's the situation outside, have the rebels retreated?" Li Xin sat powerlessly on the throne, with a look of anticipation in his eyes, which made Li Jin feel sick.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a large number of rebels, and we lack supplies to defend the city. If we want to hold on to the city and wait for the King's army, I need to ask the King to borrow something."

"What? As long as it can repel the enemy, the king is willing to take it out."

"Please, Your Majesty, open the treasury and hand over all the gold and silver inside to the minister."

"What!" Li Xin's face changed drastically, the treasury was his lifeblood, and he saved it little by little from between his teeth.If I hand it over to those soldiers, even if I repel the enemy, wouldn't I have to drink the northwest wind for the rest of my life.

"Your Majesty, if you don't stop, you will be harmed! Money is something outside of your body. If you don't use this money to reward the three armies and disrupt the enemy's position, once the enemy comes in, not only the money will fall into the enemy's hands, Even we have to be decapitated. Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."

Li Xin weighed it slowly in his heart, and the sound of the city gate slamming kept coming from his ears.Every impact seemed to hit his heart, making him tremble.

"Your Majesty, we can't wait any longer." Li Jin stood up suddenly, as if he was about to force the palace.

"Forget it, everything depends on the master!"

Relieved, Li Jin led a dozen soldiers to the treasure house in the palace.

Above the city gate, under Li Lijun's attack without fear of casualties, the casualties of the Royal Forest Army continued to increase.The ratio of casualties between the two sides has also dropped from one to four at the beginning to one to two.Although the Royal Forest Army is condescending, it can't hold back the large number of rebels. In order to survive, those rebels who have swords and guns use swords and guns. Those who don't have swords and guns. They use their fists and teeth. Half dead or directly fell to death.

Under the city gate, arms and limbs were flying, internal organs and stomachs were everywhere, and the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies were bloodshot. Maybe they were comrades-in-arms and members of the same clan just a moment ago, but at this moment they only had interests in their hearts, and they only knew that they would not stop. Swinging a knife, he kept charging, either rushing into the city, or driving all the enemy troops off the city wall.

Li Li continued to direct the army to fill every place. Teams of men fell down, and new troops came up to support them.The Royal Forest Army is about to be completely defeated, and their own throne is in front of them.

Chapter 248

In just over an hour of fierce fighting, the number of the Imperial Forest Army has dropped by 1000%, and there are only more than [-] soldiers ready to fight.

After noon, in order to completely break down the morale of the enemy troops in the city, Li Jun ordered to stop the siege.The soldiers of all ministries chose to bury pots outside the city to make food, eat and drink enough, and then attacked the city.

The Royal Forest Army in the city looked at the enemy army in full swing, but they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.

They were already at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. If they also had a rest to cook at this moment, once the enemy attacked the city, they would not be able to organize an effective resistance in a hurry.

The fragrance filled the air, and the soldiers were tired and thirsty after hacking and killing all morning. Looking at the rebel soldiers who were eating with gusto, they could only swallow their saliva continuously.

It was still early to make rice, but because Li Jun inquired about the news from Li Li accidentally, he suddenly had a plan.

Chenhan and Dahan diet are slightly different.

They predominate with two meals a day.

Breakfast is basically scheduled around ten o'clock in the morning, and dinner is generally scheduled around five o'clock in the afternoon.The time of their siege happened to be when the Imperial Forest Army hadn't had breakfast.They have been hungry for most of the day, and their hands and feet are weak, especially when facing the enemy's full meal, how can they gather their fighting power and launch a battle.

After eating quickly, the rebels under the city attacked again.

Thousands of soldiers held ladders and quickly came to the city.Looking down from the city wall, you can see that the enemy army is overwhelming the sky and the ground in front of you, and there are dense crowds of people's heads surging.Different from before, this time Li Jun asked Li Li to concentrate all his troops to attack the side door together. As long as the side door is breached, King Chen Han can go down at any time.

Li Li acted according to his plan, and under his leadership, thousands of soldiers attacked at full speed.

The well-fed rebel team was full of momentum, both speed and momentum were more than [-]% higher than before.

The pressure on the Chengguan can also be imagined.After only a quarter of an hour of fierce fighting, the rebels had repeatedly boarded the city gate, and they wanted to win the final victory at any time.

At this critical juncture, a golden light suddenly flashed in front of many soldiers standing under the city.

"It's gold!"

"It's raining gold."

"A lot of money, a lot of money, everyone grab it!"

I saw a lot of golden beans, gold nuggets, and countless coins, thrown down from the city wall like rain.The soldiers closest to the Chengguan kept fighting and fighting each other.

Chenhan is a place with few small people, and is not good at management. The business is extremely scarce, and life is difficult for both the common people and the army.The huge amount of money in front of them was thrown from the city wall, which made the eyes of these soldiers who were accustomed to living a hard life brighten. The first thing they thought of was to grab, and the more money they grabbed, the better.

Their scramble immediately attracted more rebels behind them to join them.

For a while, there was a lot of commotion under the city gate.

Li Jun and Zhang Shun, who were in the rear of the army, did not expect that the enemy guards on the opposite city gate would think of such a way to disturb their morale.For a while, he put away his contempt.

Order all ministries to retreat for the time being to see what happens next.

In order to grab money, the commotion caused caused Li Li's subordinates to lose as many as 50 to [-] people, and the number of injured was far more than hundreds.A small coin can hit the morale of Li Li's army no less than a strong bow and crossbow.In a hurry, it may be very difficult to organize troops to launch an attack.

The rebels retreated a little, and Li Jin finally got a chance to breathe. He gathered his troops and horses, and there were only less than 500 people left in the [-] Imperial Forest Army, and none of the improvised eunuchs were left.

In the treasury, half of the money was used to disturb the morale of the rebel army, and the other half was used to reward these soldiers.

It's a pity that Li Jin's command of the army was only a monk halfway, and he wanted to rely on the knowledge in books to lead the army, but in the end it was actually just talking on paper.Right now, all the soldiers are already hungry and tired. Compared with the enemy army under the city, they are in two completely different situations.Instead of giving them these golden jewels, it's better to send a lot of food to boost morale.

An hour passed quickly, and Li Li urged the soldiers of all armies to attack again.

It's a pity that the best opportunity has already been missed. If you want to attack the capital at once, Li Li's miscellaneous troops alone may be powerless.

As night fell, the lights above the capital were brightly lit. The soldiers of the Royal Forest Army who had been fighting hard for a day still did not dare to slack off and took turns patrolling the gates.At night, the vision became more and more blurred, and they were not manned enough. It was really not easy to judge the direction of the rebels' attack in advance.

Li Jin, who was tired all day, really couldn't hold on, so he handed over the entire military affairs to the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.While patrolling, a rebel soldier came under the city with a white flag in the bright place below the city.

Such an obvious move was naturally discovered by the soldiers on the city, and they quickly shouted: "Stop, if you get closer, we will shoot arrows."

The soldiers below waved their flags and shouted: "I am a soldier under the command of King Li Li. I am here to recruit you brothers by the king's order. Everyone should abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and stop stubbornly resisting."

Upon hearing the surrender, many soldiers on the city wall were a little shaken.

Fighting fiercely during the day, even though they withstood the pressure of the first day, the rebels did not break through the city for the time being.But in the face of several times more rebels, the little supplies stored in the capital alone cannot withstand it at all.

The most troublesome thing is that the arrows and stones have all been used up.Li Jin has ordered the sergeant to demolish the nearest palace and move the materials to the city.But even so, it cannot save the defeat.

There has always been no war in the capital, and even though a grain depot has been set up, there has been no habit of storing grain and grass for so long.In order to ensure freshness, the food needed every day is directly transported into the capital from outside.

Now trapped in an isolated city, there are so many more mouths to eat.And without any supplies, it is conceivable what awaits them.

Inside the main hall, all the civil and military personnel from Chen Han gathered together.

There was a lack of food. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army defending the city, Li Jin supplied most of the food, grass and materials on the city wall. As for these princes and ministers, each of them only received a small bowl of corn rice. , full stomach is enough.
