The general who stayed behind in Desert City was named Li Zhenji, and he was one of Sikong Yichen's capable men.
And the five thousand people left behind in Desert City are all the elites of the human race.
Li Zhenji was not a fool. He naturally felt that various rumors were spreading in the desert city. Li Zhenji immediately arrested many people who spread the rumors. However, after arresting them, the people said, "If they tell the truth, how can you still
Arrest people.
It doesn't matter if you catch him, or if you don't catch him.
In the City Lord's Mansion, thousands of carts of supplies are all in the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Zanji was sitting in the hall of the city lord's palace, thinking about countermeasures. He had already sent a message to Sikong Yichen, but there was no reply yet. After all, this matter was considered an emergency.
At this time, soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside: "Sir, there are many people outside. They surrounded the city lord's mansion and asked for an explanation as to why they sent troops to rob the people of their food."
Li Zhanji was quite helpless. The ten people who robbed the food were not their people at all.
Damn it, there are thousands of grains stored behind their city lord's mansion, how could they possibly care about the small amount of grain in these common people's homes?
But the rumors can be said that these things have spread and cannot be contained at all.
They can't explain it either.
Can the people believe that those soldiers are not theirs?
Li Zanji was not an incompetent person. He quickly realized that there was something fishy behind this matter.
He looked at the soldiers below and asked, "What do they want to say?"
"Said he wanted us to release the arrester."
Li Zhanji took a deep breath and said: "Let the people go and send people to transport the food to the front line overnight."
Suddenly, there was a banging sound on the door of the City Lord's Mansion. Soon, some 'civilians' outside climbed into the City Lord's Mansion and opened the door.
"The food is behind the City Lord's Mansion. Everyone, hurry up and grab it. If you are slow to grab it, it will be gone."
Someone kept yelling.
When Li Zanji heard this, he shouted loudly: "Everyone, guard the food. If anyone dares to come close, kill him immediately!"
"yes!"
The backyard of the city lord's mansion is already huge and can accommodate thousands of carriages. It is already full.
This is because the previous city lord enjoyed it a lot and built the city lord's mansion to a great extent.
But now, it is difficult for these human soldiers to gain a foothold in this courtyard. Countless civilians are coming, and they cannot stop them at all. Even if they kill one, another one will rush in soon.
That night, in the desert city, someone was running a horse and kept shouting: "The city lord's palace has been breached. The backyard is full of food, piled up into a mountain. Everyone, hurry up. If you are slow, you will be late."
There were millions of people in the entire city. After hearing these words, some people kept running towards the city lord's palace.
When these people arrived, they saw many people running out of the crowd with food, and the people behind were pushing in one after another.
The city lord's mansion was full of people and it was impossible to kill them. The five thousand elites were completely dispersed.
In the crowd, it can't play any role at all.
And this situation happened not only in Desert City, but also in the other four cities.
No one can stop such a huge crowd.
Five thousand elites are simply not enough.
All the food was robbed by the rioting people.
…
Jiangnan City's city lord's palace and the front line sent an urgent message.
In the early morning, as soon as Lin Xiaofeng woke up, someone informed him that something was urgent. Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly called Zhang Li and came to the hall of the Lord's Mansion in Jiangnan City.
In the hall, a dozen generals stood there with ugly faces.
"What happened?" Zhang Li asked.
The general below told what happened in detail.
"All the food was stolen by the rioting mob. Only one thousand of our five thousand troops survived, and more than four thousand were trampled to death."
Lin Xiaofeng's face suddenly turned ugly, and Zhang Li on the side also turned blue and said, "Bai Shuiqing actually used this move to cut off our resources!"
No one thought of it.
They took all possible factors into consideration.
For example, the opponent will send a large army to cut off food, or control local sergeants to grab food, etc.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that Bai Shuiqing would send a small number of people to spread rumors and directly start a civil unrest, causing the food to be robbed.
"Sure enough, Bai Shuiqing and I are very different in terms of military skills. When it comes to understanding marching and fighting, my eyes only focus on the four words marching and fighting."
Zhang Li paused: "Bai Shuiqing will use all available resources to fight this battle!"
Zhang Li was seriously aware of his shortcomings.
These generals said: "Shall we quickly deliver a batch of supplies now?"
"It's too late." Zhang Li shook his head: "When the time comes, can you guarantee that when passing by Desert City, the mobs that have been stirred up into civil unrest will not snatch away the food we transported there?"
The general below said hurriedly: "What should we do? We can't just watch City Lord Sikong and the others trapped in the endless desert."
Zhang Li looked at Lin Xiaofeng: "Xiaofeng, do you have any suggestions?"
Lin Xiaofeng shook his head: "I'm far less powerful than you in this aspect, so you should think about it yourself."
Zhang Li sighed: "I can't think of it."
…
At this time, in Shisha City, Sikong Yichen looked at the city lord's mansion where they were.
Their expressions were extremely ugly.
Neither the Tree Demon King, nor Sikong Yichen, nor Lin Pingchuan expected that the other party would use public opinion to attack them.
In the abyss of darkness, how could they use such unorthodox things when fighting.
According to their habit of fighting in the dark abyss, the two armies face each other and then fight with strength.
Such a trick is not within their scope of consideration at all.
They had thought about it a lot before, but never thought that Bai Shuiqing would use such a method to cut off their supplies.
"What should we do?" The Tree Demon King said with a livid face: "All the supplies have been cut off. The supplies in Shisha City can only support the army for half a month at most."
Sikong Yichen frowned and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for people to transport supplies immediately. The following five cities are in chaos. If there are supplies being transported across the border, people from these five cities will definitely attack this batch of supplies."
Lin Pingchuan said: "Let's work together to reach Sand Dune City."
"This may be the only way. It can only be a desperate fight." Sikong Yichen also agreed with this suggestion.
As long as this war is ended within half a month, the problem will be solved.
But there are still three cities next, and those three cities may not surrender obediently.
