"How's the battle going now?"
The Great Moon Palace.
Yue Zhongtian was worried. He had been waiting for news all day.
"Don't worry, Lord. Our army is currently occupying the top, and the morale of the soldiers is as high as a rainbow. Loulan's army will definitely not be able to break through the city gate in a short time."
"That's right! Loulan's army has suffered a lot of losses. We have blocked the first wave of attacks, and the two sides have a temporary truce."
"..."
"good!"
Yue Zhongtian was relieved after hearing this.
The same was true for the civil and military officials in the dynasty, and their faces showed joy.
Pang Wanli said: "Congratulations to the king, the country will be prosperous in Dayue. As long as we survive today and the reinforcements from Dali arrive tomorrow, the Zhaowu crisis will be solved."
"Yes! These Loulan thieves are simply bullying people too much. They will definitely pay the price in the future."
Many courtiers agreed.
A smile appeared on Yue Zhongtian's tense face.
Pang Wanli added: "Your Majesty, the soldiers have worked hard today. I propose to increase the food supply to reward the three armies."
"Prime Minister Pang, isn't this inappropriate? Zhaowu is currently under blockade, so military rations should be used urgently..."
"This statement is different. The soldiers are fighting hard. Only when they are full can they have the strength to fight. There is sufficient military food in the city, and Dali reinforcements will arrive tomorrow."
"..."
Yue Zhongtian nodded, that's right.
There are still a lot of food reserves in the city, and Dali's reinforcements are coming soon. We can't treat our soldiers badly during the war, otherwise no one will sacrifice their lives.
"Quickly! Leave this matter to Prime Minister Pang."
"I accept the decree!"
Although the courtiers felt something was wrong, they couldn't say anything.
The sky gradually darkened.
The soldiers who had been fighting for a day were exhausted, both physically and mentally. Loulan's army was also exhausted. At this moment, they had also set up camp and had a temporary truce.
In ancient times, a siege like this was normal, not to mention ten days and a half, but a year and a half.
Fight when you need to fight, rest when you need to rest.
Of course, sneak attacks and night attacks also exist, but they usually occur on some battlefields with relatively strange terrain. Surprise attacks from the rear or something like this are almost impossible in situations like this where both sides can clearly see any movement. .
When Lin Bai came to the tower, the soldiers were feasting.
The rich aroma of meat fills the air, making people's fingers itch.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten meat, it tastes so good!”
"No, I heard that Prime Minister Pang proposed to reward the three armies, and some ministers in the court opposed it."
"Hmph! Who objects to letting him go to the battlefield?"
"that is!"
"What are you arguing about? Eating meat won't stop your mouths. Just remember to follow Prime Minister Pang and have meat to eat. Don't talk about it."
"Yes, yes! I heard that reinforcements from Dali will arrive tomorrow, but I don't know if that's true."
"Nonsense, of course it's true. It was promised by the Fourth Prince of Dali himself. We just need to hold on for one more day."
"..."
The soldiers around were talking a lot.
Lin Bai couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart. Do even the soldiers know about the reinforcements arriving tomorrow?
This is obviously intentional.
Although he said in the court that reinforcements would arrive tomorrow, naturally he would not reveal this kind of thing to the soldiers, and the Lord of the Dayue Kingdom would not be so stupid. What if it was delayed for a day or two?
You must be prepared for accidents or anything like that.
The most news told to the soldiers is that reinforcements will arrive in the next few days, giving the soldiers hope, but they will not give an exact date. Only in this way will they have hope and fight.
And how to give an exact date, but the result is to let go of the dove, which has a huge impact on morale.
But at this moment, these soldiers actually knew it.
"It must be this old fox Pang Wanli. This old Yinbi really wants to cause mischief."
The great talent hates that.
Zhuiyue obviously felt bad, "Uncle, if the reinforcements don't arrive tomorrow, will these people..."
There was a deep look of worry in Xiao Nizi's eyes.
Why not Lin Bai? If that were the case, the situation would be very troublesome.
mmp!
This move is really cruel!
"What? Are you scared?" At this time, a slightly mocking voice came.
It was Yue Qingchen, she was still standing on the tower, looking at the camp of Loulan's army with cold eyes.
After a day of fighting, her expression was obviously a little tired, but her eyes became sharper, and there was a lot of blood on her body. A few strands of black hair were scattered and flying in the wind, making her look a little bit sassy.
Zhuiyue snorted, "The mere Loulan army is not worth mentioning in my uncle's eyes."
Xiao Nizi is extremely arrogant.
In her eyes, there was nothing that could stump her uncle.
The great talent is a little arrogant, but also a little weak. It's really hard to say in this situation!
Yue Qingchen sneered, "Everyone can tell lies. The Loulan army is right in front of us. If the reinforcements fail to arrive tomorrow, you will be the first to die."
"Nonsense!"
Zhuiyue said angrily, "Even if the reinforcements fail to arrive, my uncle will be fine."
Yue Qingchen sneered, "Don't you understand? The reason why Pang Wanli rewards the soldiers and spreads the news is to push you to a dead end. Once the reinforcements fail to arrive, everyone's grievances will be vented on you."
Zhuiyue said: "Even so, so what?"
"so what?"
Yue Qingchen smiled contemptuously, "When the time comes, he will say that you have betrayed your trust, and then take the opportunity to propose peace to Loulan. The soldiers cannot see the reinforcements, and their morale has dropped. Faced with such a situation, what do you think your father will do? choose?"
"But the battle has already begun, and Loulan has suffered a lot of casualties. Can we give up easily?"
"Pang Wanli will definitely say that everything was caused by Li Chao, and to show his sincerity, do you think he will capture you and dedicate them to Loulan?"
Hearing this, Zhuiyue had a killing intent in his eyes, "He dares!"
"Behind my uncle is Dali, unless he doesn't want to live anymore."
Yue Qingchen hummed: "Let's not talk about the current situation. Will they take this into consideration? Even if you leave the court, will they really care?"
"If you care, I'm afraid the reinforcements have already arrived, right?"
Zhuiyue wanted to retort, but didn't know what to say, and his face turned a little pale.
Although my uncle didn't tell her some things because he was afraid that she would worry, she obviously noticed something was wrong.
Who says women with big breasts are brainless?
Isn’t this fierce girl quite smart?
Lin Bai naturally understood Pang Wanli's plan, but the woman in front of him made him a little curious.
He immediately asked: "This is your home. Why did you let Pang Wanli and Loulan collude if you knew it? I heard that you will never compromise with Loulan."
"Of course this princess won't."
Yue Qingchen said, "The day the city is destroyed will be the day this princess dies."
"However, the people in this city are innocent. If Zhaowu City is destined to be unable to be defended, then let's place our hope in the future!"
Lin Bai thought about saying something, but finally gave up.
never mind!
This is a fierce girl with backbone and conviction, so I won’t make fun of her.
"How about this, how about you help me deal with Pang Wanli, and I will help you win this battle?"
