The barbarian army continued to attack the border town and launched hundreds of attacks within ten days. Although they were all attacked by Gu An and his men, Gu An was not feeling relaxed.

Looking at the countless dead soldiers, Gu An hated the barbarian army and didn't understand why they attacked the border town so crazily just for that map? Or for Gu Zhehan to kill Princess Gorya and seriously injured the barbarian king? No matter what, now the barbarians are in a civil strife, shouldn't they fight for power and profit at this time? Why are they constantly attacking the Great Wei?

If this continues, not only will Yicheng not be able to be taken back, but even the border city will not be able to be defended.

Gu An was worried, looking at Yicheng not far away, feeling worried, and didn't know what to do.

In the next few days, Hurzatai continued to attack the border town. As the battle escalated, the death toll on both sides rose sharply, especially the barbarian army was the first priority.

Just as Gu An found a way to retake Yi City, something happened in the acropolis behind the Great Wei Dynasty.

"What did you say?"

Gu An screamed in surprise, staring at the soldier who was sending the message in disbelief, and his hands pressed on the table were trembling.

"Sir, what my subordinates say is true. This morning, the 100,000 barbarian army did not know how to get around the rear of the acropolis. Now it blocked the north gate of the acropolis and we were surrounded."

After the messenger said that, he knelt on the ground with a sad face and kept looking up at Gu An, hoping that he could make an idea.

At this time, not only Gu An was there, but Huang Junsheng and others were also here. They all heard what the commander said, and couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

"So, we were surrounded by the barbarian army? But, how did they pass by? Did they fly?"

Huang Junsheng tapped the table with his fingers and frowned and told everyone that he was very annoyed now and don’t mess with him.

Gu An asked the messenger to get up and rest first, and sat in the hall with everyone to think of countermeasures.

Gu An thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how the barbarian army reached the north gate of the Acropolis, so he had to ask: "Tell me, how did the barbarians reach the north gate of the Acropolis? Also, what should we do now? Yicheng has not been recaptured and is now surrounded. If this continues, we will not support it for long. How can we break through?"

After Gu An finished speaking, discussions immediately sounded around him.

"Being surrounded means cutting off communications and food. We have to eat and drink a day. How many days can the rest be?"

"Twenty-hundred thousand soldiers and 100,000 people, you need 3,000 dan of grain to eat a day. It doesn't take much. You need 300,000 dan of grain to be surrounded for a month. Where can we get so much food? There are only 200,000 dans of grain in the granary now, which is not enough."

"Hmph, one month? I'm afraid no one will come to save us in a month. Even if we get faster, it will take two months."

"Is two months enough? Even if the letter is sent now, it will take twenty days to rush the horse. It will take five or six days to reach the capital and then go west. This will require sufficient food and grass in the capital. If it is not enough, it will have to go to the granaries of each county to mobilize it. It will take time. There is still a road! There will be no way to get to the border town in a month."

"The capital is too far away and it is difficult to transfer people. You can transfer troops from Yuzhou, Muzhou and Tongzhou to support it, so you can get faster."

"Those places can be faster, but Yuzhou is the fief of Prince Gong, and there are no soldiers there, so it would be good to have 10,000. Muzhou is too poor, and all the soldiers of the Great Wei there have been farming. Now letting them carry guns and fights is equivalent to letting them die. Tongzhou can point out some soldiers, but at most about 30,000 is transferred, and it would be difficult to get more."

"After you say that, we are out of salvation?"

"Oh! How can I know? Let's watch it one day in a day!"

"Shi, it's so negative. Lord Gu, what do you think you should do? We're just waiting here?"

Gu An knocked on the table, "It's not possible to wait. If there is another incense stick, the barbarian army will start attacking again, and we don't have time to discuss it here. So, leave it to me about sending a message to the capital, General Huang, go and count how many people there are in the Acropolis.

General Li, please take people to count the food and grass, and then calculate how long it takes for everyone else to drink porridge except the soldiers who went into battle.

General Lu, you take people to dig mountain rocks, get more rolling stones, tung oil, hot oil, and put them all in the Acropolis. You will first station in the Acropolis to resist the attack of the barbarian army."

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order."

The three generals Huang, Lu and Li all said "yes" and went down to make arrangements quickly. Gu An also led a group of subordinates to the city wall to wait for the barbarian army to attack again.

The news that the barbarian army bypassed the border city and the acropolis and surrounded the two cities quickly spread. Soon, all the people in the acropolis knew that they were surrounded and it was impossible to go out.

The people of the Acropolis who learned about this immediately became headless flies and searched for news everywhere. When they learned that the news was accurate, they all patted their thighs and regretted it.

If they had known this, General Li would have left when he asked them to leave. Today, they would not have been able to leave even if they wanted to leave.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, so we can only wait until the Great Wei generals and barbarians retreat before leaving.

The Acropolis was surprisingly calm and no one caused trouble, which made Li Tiancheng feel much more worry-free and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that these people would make trouble. If they forced them to open the city gate and let them go out, and then let them negotiate with the barbarian army, they would be happy. Fortunately, these people were not completely ignorant, and they also knew that the barbarians and the Wei Dynasty could not live together. The barbarians would never let them go, and even if they left the city gate, they would be dead.

At this time, Tang, who was waiting for the last group of Shantang people to evacuate before leaving, pulled Tan Yuezheng to apologize.

"Girl, I'm sorry for you. I didn't expect Shantang to delay you and prevent you from leaving. If something happens to you, how can I explain to Sister Bai? How can I explain to Yan'er?"

Tan Yue angrily pulled his hand out of Tang's hand, stood up and said angrily: "Tang Yun, what do you think I am? Do you fear death? I, a little girl from Tan Yue, have been caring for you for more than six years. I have been very relieved to live in Gu's Mansion in the past six years, but I have never done anything. Today's war is in progress, and I can't help you. Can you transfer the children and the elderly? Do you regret it? Do you regret being sisters with me?"

Tang was very moved by Tan Yue's words, and immediately grabbed Tan Yue's hand and said, "What are you saying? What do you regret? I am a business girl. How could I regret it if I can become a sister with you, a famous master of Qinyi, how could I regret it? I just feel sorry for you, because I, because of Shantang, have implicated you. Sister Yue, if you don't dislike me as a merchant, can you deny me as a sister?"

After hearing this, Tan Yue patted her thighs and laughed, "It's so great. My sister and I thought of going together. Even if my sister doesn't say it, I'm just about to say it! Now that the enemy is in front of you and my sister, you and my sister have a few days of fate, but in these few days, you and my sister can spend the same time together in the name of sister. My sister has no regrets in this life."
