Chapter 299 Yizhou Mansion Desperate

In order to be able to continue the war, the food quota will be reduced for everyone except soldiers, regardless of whether they are combatants or not.

Everyone went from the initial three meals a day to one meal a day, maintaining only the minimum physical exertion.

In order to save food, Zhao Kun had not eaten for two whole days. During this period, he drank water continuously when he was hungry, so that he was the bravest among the three armies in "peeing".

In order to avoid fainting directly, Zhao Kun sat on a chair and tried not to move as much as possible, even keeping his voice as low as possible.

"Our food can last for three days, and this is under the premise of minimum supply. After three days, we will directly run out of food."

"Under such high-intensity street fighting, once food is cut off, it is directly equivalent to declaring defeat. What awaits us will be a unilateral massacre by the victorious army."

"The consumption of arrows has become even more serious. Now there are only 800 arrows left in the entire reserve. This also includes the broken arrows pulled from the corpse. The accuracy has been greatly compromised."

"The armor aspect is not optimistic either."

"Although the armor remains and the men die, the heavy armor worn by the soldiers is too badly worn. Many soldiers' armors and even the breast shields have been dented. Once the breast shields are deformed,

, can’t even defend against arrows.”

"besides……"

Yue Fei raised his hand to interrupt Zhao Kun.

Yue Fei secretly praised Zhao Kun for his background as a businessman, and this logistics officer was extremely competent at his job.

Whether it is material consumption, personnel losses, or piles of items, they are all listed very clearly.

But it doesn't make sense to say this now.

After all, Yizhou Prefecture can hold on for at most three days without material support.

Three days later, people were killed and the city was lost, and then Yizhou fell. King Ding's plan was about to fail.

Even in such a predicament, Yue Fei's eyes remained unchanged, and his unwavering sonorous voice continued to echo in the government office.

"Your Majesty will never let Yizhou fall, let alone watch us all die in battle."

"Even if the thieves attack outside the government office, even if we fight to the death, I will never doubt the prince."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun couldn't help but sigh.

"No one doubts the prince. If it hadn't been for the prince's efforts to save me, I would have died in Bianjing."

"In the entire Song Dynasty, no one cared more about the war in Yizhou than the prince."

"But Cai Jing has returned to Bianjing, and His Majesty is extremely worried about the prince. There must be a lot of resistance from the court. You can imagine the difficulty if the prince wants to break through the obstacles and send the generals to Yizhou."

In fact, Yue Fei also knew very well that if he wanted to defeat the Ever Victorious Army, unless a miracle happened.

After all, King Ding did not have any troops except the Tiger Wing Army and the Dare Warriors. This meant that King Ding could not send out the logistics troops at all. Even if he did, he would not have enough troops to protect the logistics troops.

And if you want to reverse the decline of Yizhou Prefecture, you will need at least five thousand stones of grain and ten thousand arrows.

Arrows are okay, after all, they won’t be consumed on the road.

But if you want to send 5,000 shi of grain to Yizhou Prefecture, you must prepare 10,000 shi of grain for the logistics and escort troops to consume on the road.

In addition, the large group of people and horses are moving slowly. If they really want to reach Yizhou, they don't know how to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

Looking at it horizontally and vertically, this battle is already lost.

The only belief that kept Yue Fei from giving up was his absolute trust in Zhao Huan.

At this moment, a shout came from outside the gate of the government office.

"It's a changing of the guard!"

Yue Fei followed the sound and saw only twos and threes of soldiers, covered in blood, dragging their exhausted bodies, staggering into the government office.

The soldiers who had finished resting left the yamen and went up again.

Yue Fei silently counted the heads until no more soldiers returned. A total of more than eighty people came back...

In other words, during one rotation, more than twenty soldiers died in the streets.

Yue Fei took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became firm. He stood up and walked out of the lobby, picked up the rifle standing at the door, and prepared to rush to the battlefield again.

Zhao Kun looked at Yue Fei's back and couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "If the prince were in Yizhou, with his superb on-the-spot command, Yizhou Mansion would never be so tragic."

"It's a pity that no one, from His Majesty to the ministers, wants the prince to leave Bianjing."

"Perhaps you will only come to Yizhou in person when the world is finally settled and the prince's strength can compete with that of the entire court?"

"Can you wait for that day...?"

Just as Zhao Kun was talking to himself, a dare warrior ran in panting.

"Sir, the prince's military reinforcements have arrived!"

Zhao Kun, who was worried and exhausted a moment ago, had already jumped up from his chair at this moment.

His eyes were wide open, full of disbelief, and he shouted: "What?! Did I hear it wrong, or did you say it wrong?"

The brave warrior looked extremely excited, his face flushed, and he clenched his fists and said: "Your Excellency, you heard me right, the prince's military reinforcements have arrived in the east of the city!"

"Sir, send someone quickly to receive the supplies!"

Realizing that all this was not an illusion, Zhao Kun was ecstatic, and his lifeless eyes suddenly shone brightly.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty actually sent military reinforcements."

"How on earth did he do it?"

"Why are you thinking so much? He is King Ding. No matter how amazing he is, there is nothing surprising."

Zhao Kun no longer hesitated, and took a step forward to follow the brave warriors outside: "Quick! Take me to receive the supplies!"

The soldiers and servants who were resting in the courtyard of the government office were already prepared to die in battle, but when they heard the conversation between Zhao Kun and the brave warriors, they opened their mouths in unison.

They looked at each other and couldn't believe their ears.

It wasn't until Zhao Kun ran out of the government office that they finally believed that all this was true. In an instant, the entire lifeless government office was drowned in fierce cheers.

"We heard it right. Your Majesty really sent military reinforcements."

"How did the prince do it? How could those dogs in the court let the prince get what he wanted?"

"You already said it's a dog. Since it's a dog, how can you stop the prince?"

"Hahaha, you are right. Our backer is King Ding of the Song Dynasty. He dares to do things that ordinary people dare not and can do things that ordinary people cannot."

"With the support of logistical military aid, I will kill all the thieves Kou Xiaoxiao from the Ever Victorious Army in one go."

"Brothers, cheer up, wait for the military reinforcements to arrive, fill your stomachs, and kill a few more victorious army dog ​​thieves to entertain the prince!"

The news quickly spread among the army.

Wang Ben, who had been fighting for six consecutive hours, was hiding in the ruins and resting. His eyes were already bloodshot.
