It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 481

Li Xingzai's voice was not too loud, but there was a buzzing sound in everyone's ears at the same time, and they refused to disperse for a long time. Immediately afterwards, a chill emerged from the bottom of my heart and spread throughout the body in an instant.

People with quick minds such as Cui Xiang, Yu Chili, and Li Letian have already figured out the meaning of Li Xingzai's words. They looked around, and the city walls of Huangsha City appeared in front of them, and the four walls seemed to surround them at the same time, making people breathless.

Huangsha City is too small, because of the years of war, it has been in a semi-abandoned state. That is, after Cheng Dalei's toad army arrived in Bingzhou, they took the city from Li Xing and used it as his base camp.

Today, 70,000 or 80,000 imperial troops have poured into Huangsha City, and all the houses in the city have been occupied by the influx of soldiers, and more people can only camp on the streets. And because he wanted to be caught off guard by Cheng Dalei, he had to hide it from Li Xing, so many food and grass materials have not been delivered yet.

"No, it's impossible. With Cheng Dalei's strength, how can we defeat Huangsha City?" Yuchili said firmly.

"You...you..."

Li Xingzai was lying on the stretcher, his expression turned pale due to the loss of blood.

"Quick, quickly carry your Highness to rest." Cui Xiang said.

"You guys..."

Li Xingzai didn't have time to say anything, and finally only had time to let out a long sigh.

Although he was carried away, everyone was still thinking about his words.

The big figures in the empire negotiated this battle, which not only occupied Cheng Dalei's base camp, but also severely weakened Li Xing's power, which can be called killing two birds with one stone. Therefore, everyone felt that this strategy was successful and perfect. It was the mantis catching the cicada, and the oriole behind.

However, after the Oriole, there is not necessarily no urchin who raised a slingshot.

"Report!"

A fast horse ran here, and the scout jumped off the horse and said anxiously: "The bandit soldiers are camping ten miles away, and the purpose is unknown at present."

"Humph!" Li Letian snorted fiercely: "If the thief dares to come, I will kill him and see how he drives us out."

Everyone boarded the top of the city, and under Li Letian's order, Huangsha City entered a state of defense. As long as Cheng Dalei dared to come in, he would inevitably encounter a fierce attack from the imperial army.

Cheng Dalei did not fight.

The toad army camped ten miles north of the city, but they chose to follow different soldiers. Standing at the head of the city, they could see that the enemy army was burying pots and making rice, and the smoke from the cooking was rising. However, no one felt any intention of the enemy to attack.

Everyone looked at this scene, and there was a hint of confusion in their hearts: what exactly is Cheng Dalei doing?

This day passed like this, and nothing happened. As night fell, Li Letian didn't let go of his dangling heart, and Huangshacheng remained on alert, beware that Cheng Dalei might launch a night attack.

Cheng Dalei did not attack at night.

The night passed quietly. At dawn the next day, the various princes gathered in the hall of the main mansion of Huangsha City, and the meeting was still presided over by Li Letian. Before the meeting, he first asked about Li Xingzai's injury. Li Xingzai had already undergone treatment and was naturally the best doctor in the army. At present, he can't get out of bed, but judging from the current situation, his injured leg can be saved, and he will not become a lame person in the future.

This made Yuchili, and the people of Yuchili's faction, secretly regretted in their hearts.

Then, Li Letian coughed lightly and pulled the meeting to the point. The main purpose of today's meeting is to ask everyone's judgment or opinion on the current war situation.

"I see that Cheng Dalei is already poor in his skills. He knew he couldn't fight, so he didn't dare to fight."

A white-faced middle-aged man said with a laugh, he is the shepherd of Qingzhou, his name is Zhou Huanjing, and he is famous for his popularity.

After listening to Li Letian, he didn't have much reaction, he just asked, "How about everyone, what do you think?"

"I think Lord Zhou's words are reasonable. Cheng Dalei is now being held on top of it, and he can't fight. It's too shameful to retreat like this."

Yuzhou Mu Lintao agreed, he just took office, and he caught up with the chaos in the world. According to the faction, he was regarded as the prime minister's faction.

"Band thief, you have a good face." Zhou Huanjing handrailed.

"Does everyone see it this way?" Li Letian looked around, and from the expression on his face, he couldn't see any thoughts in his mind. Unexpectedly, he suddenly became angry, and slapped his hand heavily on the table: "What nonsense!"

"Take your brains and think about it. Why haven't there been any news about the food and grass that should be delivered. The scouts who are in charge of inquiring about news haven't heard any news for a day and a night. Where are they all going now?"

Li Letian was furious, and suddenly, he felt powerless. It turns out that under the rule of the father, it was such a group of idiots. It seems that when they were born, there is no such thing as a brain. Even now, they are still their own three melons.

Li Letian's words exploded in the hall like a dull thunder, and many people had predicted it before, however, more people didn't understand it until this moment.

Sometimes, nothing happens is the best thing. But sometimes, when nothing happens, it's the worst news.

Seven or eighty thousand imperial troops poured into Huangsha City, but now, the food and grass that should have come have not come, and the news that should have come in has not come. All of you in Huangsha City have become blind, deaf,

In a team of 80,000 people, no one has even one or two grains of food, which adds up to an astronomical number. How many days, three days, five days, seven days can people survive without food... Cheng Dalei really doesn't need to fight, because within a few days, people in the city will starve to death.

Whether it is a high-ranking person like Cui Xiang or Yu Chili, or a humble soldier who is just an ordinary soldier, he will die if he does not eat.

Although there is no news from outside, Li Letian and others can probably guess what Cheng Dalei is doing. His subordinates must have blocked the road leading to Huangsha City from the outside world. As long as the traffic fortress is occupied, it is not too difficult to take advantage of the super mobility of the toad army.

In fact, when they invaded Huangsha City before, they may not have had no food and grass considerations. It's just that everyone thinks that Cheng Dalei stole a lot of grain and grass, and they all exist in Huangsha City. As long as Huangsha City is occupied, the grain and grass will not be a big problem.

However, who knew that Cheng Dalei destroyed everything with an explosion.

Nothing is more sinful than rebellion, and nothing is more cruel than starvation. Now, Cheng Dalei used a trick to get rid of food, and surrounded everyone in Huangsha City.

Faced with this situation, everyone couldn't help but think of Li Xingzai's words yesterday: Cage, tomb... In this way, Li Xingzai is really Cheng Dalei's confidant.

"How long can the food in the city last?" Li Letian asked.

"It can last for two days at most." Yu Chi Li.

"Then there is only one way now." Li Letian paused: "Fight out."
