Chapter 781 The war is severe
On the city wall, several city guards hurried over and entered the lobby. Shen Lang was discussing the response with the officers in the city.

"Young City Master, someone has discovered someone behaving strangely in the city, but it doesn't seem like they are from the Thirteen States. We are currently tracking them, but they are extremely skilled and all our people have disappeared without knowing it."

Shen Lang's eyes darkened, "Ask Lieutenant Hu to lead the people from Hubao Camp. We must be careful to minimize unnecessary confusion and avoid panic among the people."

"Yes."

As soon as the guards left, Shen Lang frowned and looked at the sand table silently. He found that although they won several small battles, they all suffered losses in the end. They were much better than them in terms of numbers and equipment.

Shen Lang asked the officer beside him, "You haven't found any news about the major general leading the team?"

The officer on the side looked ugly, "No matter how many of our people we send out, it's useless. So far, we haven't heard any useful information. We even destroyed three ten-man elite teams."

"Not to mention that we haven't found any information, we can be said to have been defeated repeatedly. They didn't have enough men, horses, food and grass, and they have been unwilling to meet us face to face. They used cunning to deal with us, and we spent a lot of manpower and material resources. But they are all higher than them. If we continue like this, we will suffer such casualties. If we continue like this, our morale will be worn away."

Speaking of this, all the officers present looked unhappy.

Over the years, they have faced countless wars, large and small, but they have never suffered so much.

The opponent's major general looked young, and it was even more difficult for them to accept defeat. In the competition between the first and second districts, the more they tried to win, the more they lost. Every day they felt as disgusted as eating rats.

"Except for the Thirteen States, spies from other countries have come in more than once during this period, and many times they have been unable to guard against it."

"Yes, there were several times when we successfully caught spies because of Mr. Song of the Qin family."

Someone echoed, "The Thirteen States have repeatedly made strange moves this time, but at this time, spies from other countries entered the city. Is there a relationship between the two?"

Once someone mentioned it, their expressions became even more serious.

"The forces within the Thirteen States are already in chaos, and many small nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall have obviously joined forces with them. Now their numbers cannot be underestimated. If you add in the small countries that have always been neutral, the battle this winter may not be so good. Beaten." Shen Lang frowned, and Vice General Wang, who had been silent, said a more serious problem, "Your Majesty has only given [-]% of last year's military pay this year. If it continues to be delayed, we will be the first to be unable to sustain it."

"..."

As soon as Vice General Wang finished speaking, the already heavy hearts of everyone felt cold again.

"Not only Liangcheng, but also other garrisoned border cities have received less military pay this year."

"Oh!"

One of the irascible generals shouted, "How damn hateful, it must be Wen Gou who did it again. He is really greedy and insatiable, and your Majesty actually let him go. If this continues, why are we fighting?" , Da Qin is no longer protected!"

"Wen Gou is in charge of the east and west factories, holding the lives of all civil and military officials. He wants to move him without letting the court collapse. This is not something that happens overnight. Your Majesty also has difficulties."

It's already very cold in Liangcheng in October, and the wind blowing in is like a draft in everyone's heart.

Shen Lang's eyes were dark, "The city lord will solve this matter. Our first task is to take immediate precautions and defend the city. We must not let Liang City be destroyed in our hands."

Everyone responded: "Liangcheng for me, Liangcheng for me!"

Shen Lang came out and looked at the smoke in the distance, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Near noon, a guard ran over with a look of horror on his face, "Young City Lord, some people in the city are poisoned!"
