My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 189

Chang Yuan understood, the battle consumed a lot of food and grass.

All supplies must be given priority to the soldiers who are fighting. If those soldiers can't eat well, how can they defend the city?

And most of the wounded soldiers who were brought down couldn't survive, and those who came to the wounded barracks had a [-]% survival rate, which would be good.

So what this guy means is that instead of feeding them, it is better to give priority to those who are alive.

It's cruel, but it's also the right way to survive at the moment.

"If there is no meat, let the brothers eat enough." Chang Yuan left after leaving a sentence.

There is no meat, but after so many soldiers and civilians died, there is still a lot of wheat.

Until noon, the sound of war drums came from outside the door.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

Chang Yuan came to the city wall, and Chen Wenlong shouted from below.

"Chang Yuan! If you open the door and surrender now, I will definitely save your whole body in front of His Majesty!"

Chang Yuan looked at Chen Wenlong from a distance, and replied loudly, "General Chen, if my father is still alive, I should call you Uncle Chen! Now that the emperor has collapsed, the court has been corrupted, and the people are suffering. During the severe drought in the north, how many people have changed their sons to eat?! Can you really turn a blind eye to the corpses everywhere? Why do you still work for such a court?!"

Of course, Chen Wenlong knew how chaotic the imperial court was. With 100 million dans of relief food, there were only [-] dans left before leaving the capital.

Officials from all over the country have played their hands up and down, but it is really zero in the hands of the people.

That's right, the people have no food at all!

Court officials greedy for all the relief food!
It’s okay if His Majesty didn’t find out, but if he wanted to, those officials would collude with each other, conceal each other, and directly pass the matter of food to the rebels, saying that all the relief food was taken away by the rebels.

In other words, those people had already turned to the bandits without waiting for the food, and the food was used for the local officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits.

Anyway, there are countless reasons that can be used, and the emperor didn't really care about it. He just asked because he was disturbed to see another rebellion.

But Chen Wenlong had no choice. Three generations of his family had been loyal to the imperial court, and he was indoctrinated with the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

This is how he replied to Chang Yuan, "Three generations of my Chen family have been loyal to Nan Chen, don't you want to sow discord here! Chang Yuan, don't talk about other things! Hurry up and surrender the city! You can't hold it anymore!"

Chang Yuan looked up to the sky and laughed loudly at the city gate, "General Chen! You dare not answer my question directly because you already have the answer in your heart! Hahaha! Surrender? Surrender to the old emperor who wrongly killed my Chang family?!"

"I'd rather die!"

Chen Wenlong didn't come back again, and they knew the Chang family's unjust death. Since then, the military power of the imperial court has always been overwhelmed by the civilian officials. They are obviously officials of the same level, and the generals are always inferior to the civilian officials.

The military generals in the court and the central government were all cautious, for fear of being taken advantage of and ransacking their homes.

Because His Majesty is on the side of the civil servants.

"Stubbornly obsessed." After Chen Wenlong said something in a low voice, he sent people to attack the city.

It's just that this is obsession, and I don't know if it's for Chang Yuan or for himself.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

More than a dozen people worked together to lift a huge log, and it kept hitting the city gate!

The soldiers on the city wall shot and killed the soldiers carrying the rolling logs, but if one died, another would replace them. They not only had to prevent the rolling logs from crashing into the city wall.

It is also necessary to prevent court soldiers from climbing up from under the city wall.

In the past few days of attacking the city, Chen Wenlong's soldiers were also injured, but there were still more than 1 soldiers.

More than 1 people attacked the city, and more than 2000 people defended it, five times as many as the opponent.

Watching the soldiers on the city wall continue to fall, they finally let the people start to fill in the vacancies before barely holding on.

Chang Yuan personally put on armor and went into battle, fighting bloody battles.

Finally, they shot all the court soldiers carrying the log to death. Chang Yuan took an arrow with kerosene and shot at the log, and the log was directly ignited.

The court soldiers who tried to pick up the log had to put it down and hid in a blind corner of the city gate.

Without the threat of rolling logs, the crumbling city gate finally held up.

The military and civilians in the North and Central China breathed a sigh of relief.

Until the afternoon, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.

Chang Yuan had just finished eating when he saw Wang Hanting escorting a person up.

"what happened?"

Wang Hanting looked angry, "I saw him sneaking around our barracks. After I caught him, I searched his body. There was a fire on his body. He probably wanted to burn our food and grass. He must be a secret agent of the imperial court."

Chang Yuan narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Put him down for interrogation."

After this incident, Chang Yuan's management of the barracks became stricter.

In the evening Chen Wenlong launched another charge.

"Block it! Be sure to stop it! If these dog officers and soldiers of the imperial court rush in, he will kill your wives and children!" Wang Hanting shouted hoarsely as he slashed and killed on the city wall.

Under the cover of night, more than a dozen soldiers of the imperial court quickly ran to the blind corner of the city wall.

Together with the few at noon, they began to dig continuously on the city wall.

"What are they trying to do? Are they trying to dig in from outside the city wall?"

"Our people are waiting behind here. Didn't he die by digging in there? Or if we just pour water into it, they won't be able to get through at all?"

"not good!"

Chang Yuan watched as the mounds they dug out got higher and higher, and some soldiers even began to climb up through the mounds.

"They want to climb the mountain on the mound!"

Although he was anxious, those soldiers were all hiding in the blind corner of the city gate, and the arrows on the city wall couldn't reach them at all. Chang Yuan and his party could only look at the mound of dirt, which was getting higher and higher!

Seeing that if they don't stop them, those soldiers will be able to climb up the city wall directly along the slope without opening the city gate!

Chang Yuan hanged many soldiers down from the city wall, because he wanted to let these people go down and solve the dead corners of the city wall.

But before they put him down, he was shot to death by the arrows from the opposite side!Or get hacked to death by enemies charging to the front!
They can't put people down at all!
Wang Hanting's defense became more and more difficult. His hand was constantly slashing and slashing. He was exhausted and could not even hold the handle of the knife. He had to tear off his clothes and tightly entangled the palm of the knife with the handle to prevent the knife from falling out of his hand.

The moment of life and death has arrived!

Chang Yuan closed his eyes, and the moment he opened them he was filled with firmness, "Pour oil!"

Oil began to be collected in the city, and whatever it was, it was collected on the city walls.

With Chang Yuan's order, the oil on the city wall kept pouring down.

Afterwards, Chang Yuan threw a fire at the place where the oil was poured at the gate of the city.

In an instant, a raging fire ignited at the gate of the city!

The imperial soldiers hiding in the blind corner of the city gate were burned, and ran out of the city gate screaming, but they were covered with some oil, and they could not be extinguished no matter what, they could only be burned to death!
