On the fifth day that Su Yonglin agreed to arrive, the atmosphere in the entire military camp was very wrong.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for Su Yonglin's reinforcements to arrive, expecting to find the Jin army in chaos and be defeated by Su Yonglin's victorious army, and then they would all be safe.
However, Su Yonglin's reinforcements did not arrive. What arrived was an urgent military document.
Zhao Kaishan hurriedly opened the military documents, and at first glance, he felt a little depressed.
"The Shengjie Army was blocked by the Jin Army during their advance. After a day's fighting, they defeated the Jin Army and won. But the arrival date has to be postponed for three days? Does he have to spend so much time on the road?"
Zhao Zuoliang took the military text from Zhao Kaishan and read it out. Suddenly the officers had different expressions. You looked at me and I looked at you. Their moods were quite complicated. It can be said that they were mixed joys and sorrows.
Fortunately, Su Yonglin won another battle.
The worry is that this situation will continue for two more days.
While the Jin Army was building Jingguan, it also used large forces to violently attack the city defense lines of the Liberation Army. The offensive became more and more fierce. The soldiers of the Victory Army gradually found it difficult to resist, and their counterattack was very limited.
The obstacles in front of the military camp are almost cleared, and there is really not much time left for the Liberation Army.
As a result, Su Yonglin's arrival would be delayed for three days.
However, this situation is not unacceptable.
The Liberation Army defending the camp had relatively sufficient troops and supplies, so it was not difficult to hold on for three days.
And at this time, everyone's minds were filled with images of Su Yonglin leading his troops in a bloody battle as they moved closer to the south, and an inexplicable touching emotion arose in their hearts.
Su Yonglin is marching, and he is violently attacking the Jin army, just to help everyone open a bloody path.
He's on his way!
He has worked so hard, how can they sit still and wait for death?
Zhao Zuoliang understood the truth and immediately suggested that Zhao Kaishan announce the news to the public to boost morale.
Zhao Kaishan felt a little sour, but he still did it.
Sure enough, the news that although Su Yonglin did not arrive but defeated another Jin army on the road, it calmed people's hearts and boosted morale. The officers called on the soldiers to wait for three more days for Su Yonglin to come, and all the problems were solved.
As long as Su Yonglin comes over, all problems will be solved!
And Su Yonglin is on his way on horseback!
Brothers, hold on!
The soldiers did not have many good choices. They could only fight back resolutely in the face of the Jin army's attack.
They must persist until Su Yonglin comes over, otherwise the terrifying Jingguan will be their destination.
After that, the Guangfu Army repelled five large-scale attacks by the Jin Army within three days. The angry Shuhu Siji became furious and ordered that if they could no longer break through the military stronghold, they would not be allowed to retreat.
He wants to set up a supervising team in front of the formation, and immediately kill any soldiers who retreat when they see them. Those who don't want to die must charge forward into the formation, otherwise they will die!
The offensive and defensive battle then entered a fierce stage.
Three days later, Zhao Kaishan once again saw the messenger knight sent by Su Yonglin.
"On his way south, the general once again encountered blocking gold thieves. The general fought with them bloodyly. By the time I set out, the general had defeated the gold thieves. We can continue to go south, but it still takes time!"
"how long?"
Zhao Kaishan had no time to think about why there were always Jin soldiers blocking Su Yonglin's way. He just wanted to know how long it would take for Su Yonglin to come.
"Three days! We will definitely arrive in three more days. Please continue to hold on, Commander!"
"Three days..."
Zhao Kaishan wanted to get angry, but gritted his teeth and held back.
He nodded vigorously.
"Go back quickly and tell your general that the fighting situation here is extremely urgent. Please arrive within three days! Otherwise, once the camp is breached, the Liberation Army will cease!"
"Here!"
The messenger knight quickly left and returned north.
After the knights were ordered to leave, Zhao Kaishan discussed with his subordinates for a while, and they all felt that the Jin soldiers were sent to fight on two fronts in order to eliminate them and prevent anyone from coming to help.
So much so that Su Yonglin fought fiercely on the way to support.
"Since General Su kept encountering gold thieves all the way south, it means that the gold thieves already knew that General Su was going south, so they kept blocking, and the intensity of their attack on our camp also continued to increase. It is conceivable that General Su gave them There should be a lot of pressure.”
Li Xiao made this judgment out of his trust and affection for Su Yonglin, and this judgment was approved by most people.
Su Yonglin was advancing while fighting bloody battles. The Jin army was defeated twice when it blocked the way, which shows that Su Yonglin's army is very powerful and he himself is also very good at fighting.
In this way, the possibility of turning defeat into victory becomes even greater!
Zhao Zuoliang immediately suggested that Zhao Kaishan spread the news to let the soldiers know that Su Yonglin was on the way and defeated the Jin soldiers' blockage for the second time.
After the news spread, it quickly spread throughout the entire Liberation Army camp.
Everyone was discussing Su Yonglin's military exploits enthusiastically, praising Su Yonglin as a famous general of the Liberation Army. He was the best no matter how he fought, and Jin Bing was no match for him.
These remarks spread more and more, and became more and more outrageous. In the end, these soldiers who were looking forward to Su Yonglin like rain after a long drought succeeded in placing the title of "The First General of the Liberation Army" on Su Yonglin's head.
That's really hard to pull off.
The possibility of survival has increased, and even the possibility of victory has increased. The fighting will of the soldiers of the Liberation Army has increased a little, and the counterattack has become more powerful.
This is naturally a good thing for the Liberation Army, but it is really not a good thing for Shu Husiji.
Shuhu Siji really couldn't wait any longer. He was about to explode if he waited any longer. It had been more than ten days since the war started, and it was already August. After a big victory, the situation could not be opened.
Is it that our side is too weak or that the Liberation Army is too strong?
And this is a problem on the one hand, and the problem on the other hand is that there is a logistical problem.
A batch of military supplies that were supposed to arrive the day before yesterday have not arrived today, and the food that was supposed to arrive yesterday has not arrived. There are still some supplies in the army, but they only have five-day rations, and only high-consumer items such as bows, arrows, and firearms are left. Three days' worth.
If supplies don't come, there will be problems, long-range strikes will be restrained, and then we will really have to use our lives to fill this hole.
Shuhu Siji was very impatient and sent people early to find out what was going on, but no specific news came through.
"When will the military supplies arrive? No news yet?"
Shuhu Siji looked at the quartermaster with a stern expression.
The Quartermaster shivered with fear.
"My subordinates have sent many people to ask for news, but no clear news has been sent back yet. It will take time for the commander of the army and the troops and horses to go back and forth. I don't think they will come back so soon..."
"I do not care!"
Shuhu Siji roared and frightened the quartermaster out of his wits. Then he drew his sword and pointed it at the quartermaster.
"If the food is not available tomorrow, I will kill you first to appease the morale of the army."
The quartermaster was so frightened that he almost collapsed and rolled and crawled out of the commander's tent, leaving Shu Husiji alone and furious.
After a while, Wugu Lunjige came to see Shuhu Siji.
"Commander of the Army, there are not enough horse beans. If this continues, the horses will have to eat food. Will there be no horse beans sent later?"
Shuhu Siji was upset.
"The supplies that should be sent should have arrived yesterday, but I know there is no news today. Could something happen?"
"Something happened?"
Wugu Lunjige was suddenly shocked: "Is there something wrong with the grain road?"
"I don't know, the person who went to ask hasn't come back yet, but do you still remember what you told me about Tai'an Prefecture before?"
"Remember."
"Have you heard any news after sending someone back to ask?"
"There is no movement. Logically speaking, no matter how slow the round trip is, there should be news today."
"Something's wrong."
Shuhu Siji walked around: "The front line has been tense these days, and I have almost no time to care about these things. But now that I think about it, the situation is not right. You should take Qianqi back immediately to see what's wrong. It's because there's not enough food in the rear. Yes, there is still a problem with the food channel."
"Here!"
"Wait a moment!"
"ah?"
"One thousand is not enough. Bring fifteen hundred with you and two horses. If there are any bandits causing trouble, annihilate them on the spot!"
"Here!"
Wugulunzige nodded immediately, quickly left the commander's tent, ordered 1,500 cavalry, and galloped away with three days' rations.
