Of course, the problem of weapons has been solved, but the problem of food has not yet been solved.
Because almost all grain carts passing by He Shen's men would be plundered with 30% to 50% of their contents, so only about 50% to 60% of the grain that could reach the soldiers would be taken away.
The most taboo thing about fighting is not having enough to eat. How can you find the strength to fight if you don't even have enough to eat?
As for the current Daxia Dynasty, apart from Hucheng, Nanling and Guancheng have the best economy.
After all, the former is the former imperial city of Daxia, and many industries are located in it.
The predecessor of the latter, Yu State, was the most economically developed among the seven former countries. If you want food, you can definitely go to them!
Of course, all these operations need to be bypassed with babies and adults.
Otherwise, if any project passes through his hands, even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, he will peel off a layer of skin.
After struggling for a long time, the food and equipment problems on the front line were finally solved.
At this point, the combat effectiveness of Zhuge Liang's army also began to rise linearly, and Bai Gucheng was defeated in just five or six days.
And the time for the destruction of Tianyang City was not too slow. The time for the destruction of the city was fixed at fifteen days. This move greatly damaged the morale of Xidan and made the soldiers of Daxia feel unprecedentedly proud.
Everyone in the court was almost bursting with praise for Xia Yan, saying that Xia Yan's policies would lead Daxia to become stronger every day.
After the seven old men behaved themselves for a short period of time in the early stage, they have now returned to the way they were when they were still in Nanling.
Every day when he goes to court, he dances and spits fairy mist.
At this moment, the seven-person group's admiration for Xia Yan has risen to the extreme.
As for when Xia Yan gave him and others the Spring Breeze Powder? What could this be?
Xia Yan is the emperor, and we will do whatever the emperor asks us to do without any complaints.
Besides, there was no spring breeze on that day. It was clear that seven people were recruited to discuss important matters. After two days of deliberation, they came to the decision to attack Shenhuang.
Among the seven, the one who admired Xia Yan the most was Zhu Ming. If it weren't for the fact that this was His Majesty the Emperor, Zhu Ming would have moved his daughter out again on the spot.
After all, in the Daxia dynasty, there were not many women who were still unmarried at the age of sixty-three.
However, all of this is still not fast enough in Xia Yan's opinion. The reason is very simple: the deadline of the task is approaching.
Now, although three cities have been occupied, only Qingshan City remains among the four cities in the south of Xidan, but this thing is the most difficult to defeat.
Although the Divine Phoenix Kingdom did not send troops to assist Xidan at this time because of its own difficulties, the relationship between the two countries was very friendly at the beginning.
If nothing else, the trade between the two countries is very close and prosperous.
And this Qingshan City happened to be the city on the border with the Divine Phoenix Kingdom.
Thanks to the frequent trade, the overall strength of Qingshan City is very strong, and the people are also very wealthy.
Not to mention the garrison here, all the soldiers are recruited from strong men and are equipped with very sophisticated weapons.
This means that defeating such a city in a short period of time is as difficult as rocketing to the sky.
Including the time spent transporting weapons and supplies back and forth between the two places, the task is now only completed in seven days.
As the strongest city, it is not easy to capture it like this.
Not to mention the equipment of the city's defenders, the city defense of Qingshan City is much better than that of other cities.
The stones on the city wall were made so tall and thick as if they were free of charge that ordinary ladders could not climb them.
What's even more terrifying is the city gate. Generally, city gates are almost always made of wood.
But the city gate here is so indestructible that it is actually made of extremely thick copper.
Not to mention the ordinary method of hitting it with wooden stakes, even using a siege engine has no effect.
Even if a group of big men wanted to open and close a door, it would take thirty people to push it.
Who can withstand such a city defense?
But unfortunately, I only have seven days, and I can’t go to the front line to help. It’s really frustrating!
Whether in the court or in the palace, Xia Yan had a huge headache.
This scene was naturally seen by the current Queen Su Yue.
Finally, one day Su Yue couldn't bear it anymore and started asking Xia Yan.
"Your Majesty, why are you so melancholy?"
Naturally, Xia Yan didn't want to hide anything from Su Yue, so he told Su Yue that he hoped to capture Qingshan City within a week.
Of course, Xia Yan still kept the fact that he had a system firmly in his heart.
It's not because I can't trust Su Yue, it's because this thing is too shocking.
If she had said so, Su Yue might have immediately called the imperial doctor to have a look at her brain.
After hearing that Xia Yan hoped to solve Qingshan City within a week, Su Yue was silent for a moment, and then began to patiently comfort Xia Yan.
That night, while Xia Yan was sleeping soundly, Su Yue silently got up from the bed and went to the desk to take out her pen and ink.
"Brother Huang has always taken good care of me since I was a child, but I don't know if I can succeed this time..."
Su Yue whispered, folded the letter she had written, and called Xiao Haozi who was outside the door.
"Send this letter to the Lord of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom and say it was written by me."
Naturally, Xiao Haozi did not dare to say anything about the Queen's words, and then quickly went to prepare.
The days that followed seemed a bit calm, and the battle reports coming in every day were the same.
Although the city has not been broken yet, we are already thinking of all possible solutions.
I continued to think of ways, but the city was still not broken.
until the night before the settlement date.
Qingcheng Pass is the junction between Qingshan City and the Divine Phoenix Kingdom.
Since the exchanges between the two places are very close, there will be almost no obstruction by the soldiers guarding the city here.
In the same way, the troops deployed are also extremely sparse. Under normal circumstances, there will only be a few dozen people.
Countless days and nights in the past, both parties had been so harmonious and there had never been any problems, but this night...
"Human...why are there so many people in the Divine Phoenix Kingdom..."
"They are not businessmen, they all wear armor..."
"The Divine Phoenix Kingdom is attacking, the Divine Phoenix Kingdom is attacking..."
For a moment, Qingshan City was in a state of chaos. The barrier that was originally close to nothing now became a perfect passage for the Divine Phoenix Kingdom to break through to Qingshan City.
The soldiers of the Divine Phoenix Kingdom rushed into the city and rushed directly to the city gate where Zhuge Liang was. After a fierce battle between the two sides, Zhuge Liang outside the gate heard the sound and started to attack.
The city wall that was originally difficult to climb now had no one to block it, and Daxia soldiers climbed in from the outside one after another.
Inside the city, dozens of Divine Phoenix soldiers helped Daxia open the city gate.
Under this internal and external cooperation, Qingshan City was completely lost...
