Due to lack of food, Bai Song could only place his hope on the people of Fuling City.
Although everyone knows that the people in Fuling City do not have much rice, but in order to spend the remaining days smoothly, this is the only way.
If you want to get food from the city, you will naturally have to bypass the garrison.
Bai Song gave the task to Jian Shisan and several leaders. Only by sending the strongest masters can they not be discovered by the outside army.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. After half a day, a few people got back some food, which was enough for more than a hundred people to eat for three days.
Several people brought back food, but also brought back very dangerous news.
On the way back, I met a squad leader who was out on patrol. After some questioning, the other party told me that the entire army would attack in five days.
This is not good news.
The secret weapon of the Bai Song Dynasty will take seven days. The outside army will launch a full-scale attack on the fifth day. If there is no countermeasure, all previous efforts will be wasted.
After three days of calm, neither side knew the depth of the other.
The Bai Song Dynasty was racking its brains for the five-day attack, and Yuwenji's army also revealed a subtle atmosphere.
After a few days of adjustment, Yuwenji's injury improved somewhat, but the calmness of the past few days made him suspicious.
"The other party has been so patient in the past few days. Is it possible that they are not worried about us being trapped on the outside? If we continue to use it like this, will there be any changes?"
"General, four days have passed, and there is still one day left. According to my expectation, they will definitely fight to the death to break through today." Liu Junshi said confidently.
"Oh? What do you think, Military Master Liu?"
"The fact that these thieves were able to easily evacuate after attacking the city shows that they did not have any luggage, which also proves that they did not carry much food. In such a snowy day, there was no food to be found in the mountains. After three days, they were bound to
They will be worried about food. If they really can't live in the mountains for a long time, this is the best time for them to break out. If they break through forcefully today, it means that this siege is the best choice."
"Military advisor, after all is said and done, you still don't want me to attack by force."
"Hey...since I'm making suggestions for the general, I naturally have to think about it a lot. If the general doesn't believe it, why don't we make a bet?"
"What to bet on?"
"I bet those thieves will attack our defense line tonight."
"Is the military advisor so confident?"
"Just ask the general if he dares to bet?"
"Why don't you dare? But what is the prize?"
"If everything is calm tonight, I will never ask the general about his plans from now on. If there is an enemy attack tonight, from now on the general will have to obey my words, Liu, and not act rashly."
"Okay! Based on the painstaking efforts of the military advisor, I will definitely not refuse to listen. If there is an enemy attack today, I will surrender. Military advisor Liu is a well-deserved little Zhuge. I will definitely obey your advice in the past.
"
"Okay!" Military Advisor Liu was overjoyed when he heard this, "In that case, the general must obey my orders tonight."
"If the military advisor has any plans, just make arrangements."
"I want the front army to retreat and leave the valley mouth, with strong archers as the main force. If there is any trouble, use strong crossbows to attack! To deal with these martial arts people, it is best to use strong crossbows! They have great abilities, but they can't
It exceeds the range of a strong bow. If they dare to come out tonight, Liu will keep it safe so that they never come back!"
"Okay, here's the order, we will follow Military Advisor Liu's arrangements. But if there is no one tonight, everyone will follow me into the valley early tomorrow morning."
After the two discussed in the military tent, Military Advisor Liu left with a group of lieutenants.
When a few people came out of the military tent, the lieutenants gave a thumbs up to Military Advisor Liu and praised in a low voice: "Officer Liu is indeed very skilled. If the military advisor hadn't come out with harsh words, I'm afraid we would have suffered heavy losses early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, where can we force a charge through the valley terrain? Even if we win, I'm afraid many of us will never be seen again. General Yuwen is very brave, but lacks resourcefulness..."
"Shh, please keep your voices down, everyone." Military Advisor Liu tried to silence him, "General Yuwen will be ineffective if he doesn't provoke him."
"High, really high! Military Master Liu is indeed a little Zhuge. We are really experienced."
"Yes, yes, I heard that Zhuge Kongming is the best at provoking generals."
Military Master Liu was satisfied after hearing this. He pressed his chest and saw that the old god was there, looking like he had seen through everything.
…
When the snow stopped that night, an even more biting cold followed.
The army was ready and did not relax at all.
But the calculated enemy never appeared.
Thousands of strong archers are divided into three columns. After training, these strong archers can fire crossbows in an endless cycle.
These archers are different from ordinary archers. They all use the latest crossbows.
This crossbow appeared less than a year ago, but it has already become one of the three treasures of the Holy Lotus Sect, and its importance is as important as the Baihua Pill.
Because of this crossbow, the Holy Lotus Sect defended Chengdu with very few troops and kept the Tang army at bay.
It is also a powerful killing weapon, with the ability to easily kill martial arts practitioners.
The reason why Master Liu is so confident is because of these crossbowmen.
This is also his biggest reliance against the martial arts coalition.
In such a terrain, if any martial artist dares to rush through it, no matter who it is, they will be shot into pieces in an instant.
Military Master Liu stood proudly at the front line of the formation, flanked by General Yuwen who looked a little disbelieving.
"It's already midnight, why hasn't the enemy attack mentioned by the military advisor happened yet?"
"General, don't worry, tonight has just begun. Liu is fully confident that there will be no peace tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp voice broke the silence of the night.
"Come on!"
Yuwenji's expression changed and he became nervous instantly: "He's really here?!"
Military Master Liu smiled confidently and did not panic, but the military order was immediately issued: "Fire arrows! We must not let them get close, no more killing, just force them back into the valley."
Boo hoo hoo…
The sound of a series of crossbow arrows was heard, and it was plunged into the darkness like a sudden storm.
There were screams coming from the direction of the dark valley, which sounded very chaotic.
The strong archers were well prepared, and once they started to attack, all the attacks came one after another.
There were only screams in the darkness, but no one could be seen.
Military Master Liu looked at Yu Wenji with a proud face, "General, look, by guarding the entrance like this, these martial arts people can't even see our faces. Does this count as avenging you for the past few days?"
Yu Wenji frowned slightly, feeling dull on his face, but he couldn't say anything.
After this intensive barrage of bows and arrows, another cry came from the darkness: "Retreat quickly, retreat quickly! The terrain is open and not good for us!"
After several rounds of arrow rain, the darkness gradually became quiet.
"They all went back?" Yu Wenji asked doubtfully.
Military Advisor Liu hurriedly wanted to give an order: "Send someone over to check the situation!"
Several soldiers went forward to inspect the battlefield and came back to report: "General, military advisor, there is blood everywhere on the snow at the entrance, and no bodies were seen."
Military Master Liu snorted coldly: "They can move quickly!"
