Grandpa Guo said that there is really no extra manpower to support him, but he will immediately send people to bring enough food and grass to let him not be impetuous.

This coincides with Jiang Che's current strategy of digging tunnels.

Logically, the food should have arrived today.

After all, this place is only about 500 miles away from the main battlefield on Grandpa Guo's side, which is a few days' journey.

I guess it will arrive tomorrow.

Jiang Che didn't think too much. Looking at the high city wall in the distance, he continued to think about the strategy for attacking the city.

Logically, the food should have arrived today.

The next day, Jiang Che commanded some soldiers to cover, and some soldiers continued to dig tunnels.

The tunnel has been dug under the root of the city wall, and if he gives him a few more days, the foundation of that section of the city wall will be completely loosened. At that time, the city wall may tilt or collapse, which is the time to attack the city.

When the sun went down, the food delivery team Jiang Che had expected to arrive had not arrived yet.

Jiang Che felt something unusual.

The general commander in chief of this war is his own grandfather. If it were anyone else, Jiang Che would suspect that this was deliberately trying to trick him. He had heard people say that there were many such tricks in the army, but his grandfather would never do it. Impossible to pit him!

Moreover, there is no shortage of food and grass there.

Not to mention that Da Chu has been preparing for the war, and there is sufficient food and grass. Along the way, every time they conquer a city, all the food and grass in the city will be taken away.

When there was no shortage of food, and grandfather couldn't betray him, it could only be that something happened to the food delivery team.

After Jiang Che figured it out, he immediately dispatched a few scouts to investigate along the road. If he didn't find a supply team, he had to immediately ask the grandfather of the country to send food and grass.

When the scouts sent out, Jiang Che was not at ease.

If the food and grass cannot be delivered as soon as possible, after two days, the army will be out of food.

Grandpa Guo’s base camp is about 500 miles away from here, and it would take two or three days for the scouts to pass by, even if they are fast horses.

In other words, the worst-case scenario is that they will be without food for at least five or six days.

Five or six days, people should be almost hungry.

Jiang Che frowned, now there are several options.

First, save food and grass, eat one meal a day, and lead 5,000 soldiers to retreat to the direction of the base camp.

Second, attack the city immediately, and within two days, take the city, and there will naturally be food and grass in the city.

Third, continue the previous siege plan and continue to dig tunnels. The food and grass may arrive the day after tomorrow.

What is difficult to judge now is where the grain and grass are and how long it will take to arrive.

Sixteen-year-old Jiang Che looked at the dark night, unable to make a decision for a while.

His decision will affect the life and death of these five thousand people, and he must be cautious.

The next day, the rations Jiang Che sent to each camp had been slightly reduced, so he had to make some preparations.

After breakfast, he ordered to continue digging the tunnel.

He decided to wait a day. If the food and grass have not arrived before the sun sets today, then he must choose one or two options.

The sun was slowly sinking into the horizon, but there was still no sign of the forage.

Jiang Che knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make a decision immediately.

Retreat is naturally the safest plan. Save food and eat, they will starve, but they will definitely not starve to death.
