Chapter 2235 Shen Tu destroys food (5)

The sky is getting brighter, and Calabash City, which has been noisy for most of the night, has returned to calm.

Huge plumes of gray-black smoke rise slowly, which can be seen at a glance even from several miles away.

The most intense battlefield was the granary battlefield in the east of the city, which was crowded with soldiers. Soldiers coming and going were carrying corpses out of the granary.

Some of the corpses were burnt black, and a foul smell could be smelled from a long distance away.

War horses were wandering in the surrounding streets, and the common people were also cordoned off at home. Anyone who dared to approach the granary at this time would definitely be killed on the spot by the Sirius Army's cavalry.

All the dead soldiers of Shentu were wiped out by the Liang army. The Liang army suffered a huge loss, almost paying a one to one casualty price. If the Tianlang army had not arrived in time, the battlefield would have been even more tragic.

Tian Chang was limping and staggering around in the granary. Although the fire had been put out, many granaries were completely burned by the Yan army's fire.

Tian Chang suffered several stab wounds in the fierce battle, and his body was already extremely weak. However, he had a very stubborn temper and refused to rest no matter how much he was persuaded.

"Plop~"

Tian Chang knelt down on the ground and murmured with dull eyes:

"I'm guilty, I'm guilty~"

After fighting to the death in the middle of the night, the Yan army still succeeded, and Tian Chang felt extremely sad.

Those soldiers died and were wounded in order to stop the Yan army. Some of them were young boys who had just joined the army for less than two months and lost their lives just like that.

Seeing the dead body lying in front of him was even more uncomfortable than killing Tian Chang.

He felt deeply self-blame. Why didn't he think of the Yan army's goal at the first moment to be the granary? He was only thinking about the safety of the Armed Forces Division and Leng Guinan. Those civil servants were also very important.

"Get up, General Tian."

Shi Hong silently pulled Tian Changdao:

"It's not your fault. The Yan army sneaked across the border and lurked in Hulu City, which no one expected.

I have seen it, these people are dead soldiers of the Shentu clan, all men who have been on the battlefield for a long time. Most of the Hulu City are new soldiers. They have to put out fires and defend the city, so it is understandable that we can't stop them."

Shi Hong looked at the entire battlefield. If it was the cowardice of the Hulu City defenders that led to the burning of the granary, then Tian Chang would indeed be punished according to military discipline.

But the dead bodies on the ground proved to everyone that the soldiers of Gourd City did not flinch, and Tian Chang himself was seriously injured and almost died.

"Shi, General Shi."

Tian Chang turned his head to look at Shi Hong with difficulty and asked:

"Why did the Sirius Army suddenly come to Gourd City? Did they receive any news in advance?"

Till now, Tian Chang still doesn't know how the Sirius Army came. At least he had time to receive the news one day in advance.

"It's an urgent order from Wentian Si."

Shi Hong smiled bitterly:

"Wentiansi found some clues, and it seems that a mysterious person is heading towards Calabash City.

In addition, Youzhou City was attacked, Mr. Huangfu judged that the Yan people might be attacking from the east and attacking from the west, so Babaili hurriedly sent us the Sirius Army to visit Hulu City.

I didn’t expect it was a step too late, alas~”

The Yan people thought they had completely escaped the eyes and ears of Wentiansi, but in fact Huangfu Yanling discovered something was wrong. The Jingan people entered the country secretly, leaving some traces.

Shentu Xing's move of attacking from east to west did attract Liang Jun's attention to Youzhou City, but Huangfu Yanling was not a free man, and he quickly realized that Yan Jun had other goals.

Looking at the entire Youzhou, apart from the capital and Tianlang Pass, only Hulu City is the most important.

"That's it."

Tian Chang smiled bitterly: "If the Sirius Army hadn't arrived, I'm afraid this granary would be gone~"

While the two were chatting, Leng Guinan walked to Tian Chang's side in a daze. It could be seen that Mr. Si Cheng of the Armed Forces Division was in a bad mood.

As soon as the battle ended, Leng Guinan began to count the losses of various granaries. The situation was not very good~

"How about it?"

Tian Chang looked at Leng Guinan with his big eyes:

"Is the loss big?"

Leng Guinan silently raised three fingers:

"Thirty thousand, almost thirty thousand shi of military rations."

Tian Chang and Shi Hong's hearts trembled. This was enough to feed the Tianlang Pass defenders for a month.

Shi Hong said in a deep voice:

"Things have already happened. There is no use regretting and blaming yourself. We can only make up for the losses as much as possible."

"Anthracene."

Leng Guinan nodded: "We are already arranging manpower to rescue the remaining rations, and I will try my best to minimize the loss.

Fortunately, the armory was not attacked, otherwise there would not be enough crossbows to be shipped to the front line in three days~"

Leng Guinanqi's face turned blue. Although Liangdi had two granaries, Liaodong Black Tu and Shuohe Plain, they were still in short supply to supply several battlefields.

These military rations were saved little by little by the common people and frontline soldiers.

"Don't think about it."

Shi Hong patted Leng Guinan's shoulder and said softly:

"Master Leng will report the loss to the prince, and the remaining prince will make a decision.

If the sky does not fall, victory will eventually belong to us."

Shi Hong used to be a playboy, but now he is a serious soldier of the Liang Army, a rising star in the army. Under the influence of his grandfather, he always felt that the frontier army was invincible.

Leng Guinan said softly:

"It would be better for me to go to Wuguan to meet the prince in person. If such a big thing happens, I will definitely explain the situation in person."

Leng Guinan looked melancholy, and he expected to be even busier in the coming days.

"I'll go too."

Tian Chang silently echoed:

"I was ordered by the king to guard Calabash City and guard the food, grass and weapons in the city. Now the food and grass losses are huge, I have to go to the prince to apologize!"

"No need, General Tian."

Leng Guinan shook his head and said: "Although the war in the city has calmed down now, there are still Yan people's spies lurking, so we must not take it lightly.

I'll go to the prince's side, the general has to reorganize his defenses."

Shi Hong echoed from the side:

"The Heavenly Wolf Army will be temporarily stationed in the city, and we will leave after all the spies of the Yan people are found."

"All right."

Tian Chang nodded helplessly and cursed angrily:

"These bastards, I'll chop them up sooner or later~"



Calabash City returned to silence. In the woods outside the city, two or three dead soldiers of the Shentu family were looking at the smoke billowing into the city with miserable expressions.

They were the confidants who came with Shen Tu Xing, but Shen Tu Xing did not take them into the city.

What these people have to do is to send back the news about Gourd City. Shentu Xing has told them that as long as there is a fire in the city, it means that the matter is done.

Now there is thick smoke billowing in Hulu City. It is obvious that they have succeeded in punishing the massacre, but several people cannot be happy because their general will never come back.

In fact, when the Sirius Army entered the city last night, these people noticed it immediately.

Unfortunately, there is nothing they can do.

Several dead soldiers knelt down and kowtowed towards the city. Their lives were bought by their comrades in the city.

"Let's go."

A man in the middle said solemnly:
Chapter completed!
