But this situation is really fatal for the eldest princess and Wu Xionglie.
The soldiers led by the eldest princess and Wu Xionglie are all patriotic and passionate people, so there is no harm in sacrificing some of their own interests.
But no matter what, these soldiers are all mortals. They don't need military pay and don't care about the life and death of their families at home.
However, these people who fought and shed blood on the battlefield were so hungry that they even skipped a meal.
If the army's food and grass are completely cut off and cannot survive for two days, these patriotic soldiers will die not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of their own monarch!
Faced with this situation, both the eldest princess and Wu Xionglie looked extremely sad.
"I misjudged him."
Speaking of this, the eldest princess looked extremely ugly. She originally thought that this nephew should be different from her mediocre royal brother.
As the old saying goes, like father, like son, it's just that her nephew hadn't shown it before.
"If this continues, without anyone else coming to attack us, our troops will face the dilemma of dying of illness or starvation!"
Having said this, Wu Xionglie was so angry that he punched the table, breaking the table in half.
It was the Wu family that caused him to have no descendants, and the Wu family had no descendants.
Even so, he still served the Wu family out of loyalty. He had not seen his goddaughter for more than half a year.
When he thought of Su Jinluo, Wu Xionglie's heart felt like it was on fire.
"We have been hiding in the city for ten days without going out to fight. If this continues..."
The eldest princess's face was also as dark as if it could drip with ink. She hated her nephew Wu Yuetian so much that she had wasted all her hard work for him for so long.
"Elder Princess, General Wu, ten more soldiers were lost due to hunger and disease."
A young general came to report with a face full of sorrow. Their situation was already quite serious. Many members of their army had already died of serious injuries due to starvation and poor physical condition.
This whole life has been tormented by illness by his own emperor. Faced with such a situation, which soldier would not feel aggrieved.
"If this continues, we will withdraw our troops!"
Wu Xionglie's eyes flashed, since the little emperor no longer wanted this beautiful country, then why did they work so hard to defend the city and watch their comrades who went into battle together to kill the enemy die one by one.
For Wu Xionglie, nothing makes him more heartbroken than this.
"Withdrawing troops? It's not impossible."
The eldest princess nodded. She had never been a foolish and loyal person, let alone a stickler for rules. Otherwise, she would not have gone against the grain and become the only female general.
Just like Wu Xionglie said, even Wu Yuetian himself gave up the country, so why should they sacrifice their lives to continue to defend it for him?
"But even if we withdraw our troops, how many people will die along the way?"
The eldest princess pressed her temples, her tone full of unbearable fatigue.
What she was most worried about was that if she retreated all the way, the bodies of these soldiers would be left everywhere. How could she accept this?
"Here comes food and grass, here comes medicine!"
Just when the eldest princess and Wu Xionglie were in agony, the ecstatic voices of the soldiers suddenly came from outside, shouting that the food and grass had arrived, and even the medicine for wounds had arrived.
