The Qi army was waiting in formation outside the city. The army was solemn and their morale was high. They could launch an attack on the city at any time.
Qin Yu and others in the city were already exhausted after fighting the fire all night.
In addition, the armory was burned down and there was a serious shortage of defensive equipment. Facing the surging Qi army outside the city, this battle seemed to have no suspense.
Qin Yu just made a rough count and found that there were about five thousand Qi troops outside the city, including siege vehicles and archers, but fortunately there were no catapults.
"Centurion, we only have these arrows on the city wall, which can only be used three times at most." Lao Huang sat on the ground dejectedly.
Then, more people sat on the ground dejectedly and spoke their last words to the sky.
"I thought I could go home after this battle, get a wife, and give birth to a big fat boy, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to wait until that day." Old Huang smiled bitterly and hung his head helplessly, with tears from the corners of his eyes flowing down his cheeks. .
"Dad! Mom! I miss you!"
"Cuihua! Don't wait for me, find someone to marry!"
"Shufang! I'm sorry for you and the child!"
On the top of the city, despair and fear spread, even affecting Qin Yu.
Although the original owner was a man who had experienced hundreds of battles, Qin Yu now was just a college student. Faced with this scene, his mind was already confused.
Suddenly, thoughts in his mind were like a flash of lightning, illuminating his direction.
[System supplies: bows and arrows, unlimited! 】
At the same time, the system's beep sounded in his ears, which immediately woke him up!
"Yes! Yes! We still have bows and arrows! We still have bows and arrows!" Qin Yu stood up holding the city wall and shouted, "Follow me! There are still bows and arrows in the tower!"
Qin Yu shouted and rushed towards the tower.
Everyone looked at each other, holding on to this glimmer of hope, and followed him one after another.
Qin Yu stopped in front of the city tower, then slapped the gate hard, and used the system to fill it with bows and arrows.
When Qin Yu opened the door, everyone saw a large room of bows and arrows.
The sun shines on the arrow, giving off bursts of cold light.
"Take the bow and arrow! Get ready to fight!" Qin Yu picked up the bow and arrow and shouted to everyone.
"No!" Lao Huang was the first to react, and then the others rushed into the tower, took their bows and arrows, and quickly returned to the city wall.
At this moment, the morale of the military was re-united, and everyone's fighting spirit was ignited again.
Qin Yu looked at the Qi army in the distance. At this time, he did not attack the city immediately. Instead, a messenger came out and rode a horse to the bottom of the city wall.
"Listen to the Tang army on the wall! My general knows that you have been without food for several days! There was a fire in the city last night! Hurry up and surrender! Otherwise, when the city is broken, you will be buried!"
The messenger was stunned as soon as he finished speaking, because when he saw the Tang army on the city wall, he actually took out big white steamed buns from his arms and started eating them!
The messenger rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly. Tang Jun was indeed eating steamed buns. Didn’t it say that the Tang army in Tunliu City was out of food?
"call out!"
"laugh!"
An arrow was shot at the foot of the war horse, and there was a steamed bun on the arrow.
Qin Yu put down the bow in his hand and shouted loudly to the messenger outside the city: "I treat your general to eat this steamed bun! Come to attack the city early in the morning, don't be hungry!"
"Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded from the city wall.
The ordering soldier looked at the steamed bun on the arrow in confusion, then at the Tang army on the city wall, leaned over, pulled out the arrow and returned to the formation.
Seeing the enemy soldiers returning to the formation, Lao Huang handed another steamed bun in his arms to Qin Yu.
"Centurion, this is too wasteful. You might as well keep it for yourself."
Qin Yu took the steamed bun and said with a smile: "This is called a heart-attack strategy. Just watch it. After a while, the Qi army will probably risk their lives to attack the city."
"What!" Lao Huang was startled. The opponent was already attacking the city, so why would they risk their lives? But that's right, you don't have to attack the city whether you risk your life or not.
Qin Yu said while nibbling cold steamed buns: "I hope the other party's general is impatient and can be provoked by me and mess up the order."
···
At this time, the leader of the Qi army was Jiang Wu, the third prince of Qi State.
Jiang Wu was a man of extraordinary martial prowess, but had an irritable personality. He only called himself a general in the army, and was known as the sword of the king of Qi.
Jiang Wu was very unhappy. As the third prince, he now had to take orders from others.
Just because Tunliu City is the ancestral land of the Tian family, large engineering equipment such as catapults cannot be used. This is simply ridiculous!
"General, this is given to the general by the Tang army in the city, saying that he will not let the general starve." The messenger returned quickly and presented the steamed buns and arrows.
Jiang Wu glanced at the steamed bun on the arrow, and before he could say anything, the deputy general next to him exploded.
"The Tang army in this city is only a thousand people, but they dare to be so arrogant! General! Let the general lead the troops to attack the city! The general will send all the heads of the Tang army to His Highness!"
"General! Attack the city!" The other generals also loudly asked Jiang Wu for orders.
"Hahaha! Hahaha..."
Jiang Wu suddenly grinned, "Since the enemy can afford breakfast on the city wall, we can't attack the city hungry!"
"Instruct Huotou Army to bring breakfast, and we will have breakfast first! And it's better than Tang Army's! I want them to watch me eat roast chicken!"
The generals next to him looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what their generals were going to do.
However, due to Jiang Wu's pressure, he could only obey orders.
On the city wall, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw that the Qi army still didn't attack the city.
Wasn't the other party irritated by him? No confusion? That would be really troublesome!
The danger levels of an irritable opponent and a calm opponent are completely different.
Just when Qin Yu was worried, he saw several soldiers in the enemy's formation carrying tables and placing them in the open space between the two armies.
Under Tang Jun's puzzled eyes, they even served roast chicken and fine wine, and then saw a Qi Jun general coming out.
"General of the Tang Army in the city! Your steamed buns are cold and hard. I, the general, can't eat them!" Jiang Wu said while holding up the steamed buns, threw them on the ground and stepped on them.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the two armies, Jiang Wu sat in front of the table and began to devour food. He also drank a few sips of wine from time to time, as if he was outside the battlefield.
"Generals of the Tang Army above, do you have the guts to come down and have a drink? Hahaha!" Jiang Wu raised his glass and laughed.
"Centurion, this kid is so annoying. Do you want to shoot him?" Lao Huang asked, wiping his saliva.
"What? You want to eat? Why don't you go down and take a bite too?" Qin Yu smiled and patted Lao Huang's shoulder.
Lao Huang hurriedly shook his head, "I think I want to eat it, but I don't have the guts yet."
Qin Yu lay on the top of the city and said with a smile: "Isn't this good now? At least they didn't attack the city. We have enough time to prepare."
"Hey! This general below! Our army is responsible for feeding our steamed buns! Are you responsible for feeding them? If not, how about I send you some soldiers and horses!"
Qin Yu shouted to Jiang Wu at the foot of the city.
"Don't worry about it! When our army is full of wine and food, that's when the city will be broken!" Jiang Wu responded, holding up the chicken leg.
Qin Yu smiled cheaply, "If you don't eat enough, how can I hold on? This time is very precious."
