C54 (2/2)
Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to take the city. They had to seize a city with a large enough grain reserve. Otherwise, they would starve to death, and the prisoners of war would be enough to wipe them out.
Xiu'er looked at the map quietly for a long time before she asked Fat Cui, ”Which city has the most reserves in the surrounding cities?”
Fat Cui was startled for a moment, then pointed: ”Then it must be here.”
The place where his finger was pointing, was at Tiger Running City.
Ever since Xiu'er and the rest used their Tiger Running City to attack from the east and attack west to reinforce him, the city guards Du Mingfa had become a bird of prey, and especially after the expedition team cleared his surroundings, he felt an even stronger sense of crisis. Knowing that there would be no reinforcements, Du Mingfa started to frantically stock up the food and build city walls. At the same time, he recruited a large number of refugees, bringing the displaced peasants near the city and letting them build walls with the people there, then eating with them as a form of work for money.
Chen Chu looked at Xiu'er, and then looked at Qu Feizhi. In the face of such a Tiger Running City, she still decided to try again, was it because this lady had a stubborn personality? Did she feel uncomfortable without pulling the nail out?
Xiu'er could clearly see the doubt in everyone's hearts. She explained her plan in a low voice, which was to slip in and put on makeup. She had sneaked into the Tiger Running City herself, opened the gates to the city when she had the chance, and let the great army in.
”No!” ”Absolutely not!” strong man became anxious when he heard that, ”Lord Xiu is the general of the army, how can she risk her life so easily? I object! ”
”This, is indeed a bit unsafe ~ ~” Qu Feizhi began to scratch his chin. It was not that he suspected the Xiu'er's strength, but the moment this lady had entered the Phoenix City Pass, the strength she displayed was especially astonishing. But the problem was that this matter wasn't easy to handle. It definitely wasn't realistic for her to go alone, so who would she go with? Both of them were people from Fire Phoenix Empire, so their accents were different. It would be easy to find three or five of them, but if there were more, it would definitely be revealed.
Moreover, putting Xiu'er's strength aside, after entering the city, the only thing left was to open the city gates, and the other thing to do was to preserve the grain depot. Otherwise, if Du Mingfa were to burn down the grain depot, wouldn't this trip have been in vain? At least there were a few small villages around here that were able to gather more food. If they were to run to the Tiger Running City and return empty-handed, then it would really be a dead end. Thinking about that, Qu Feizhi suddenly looked at Xiu'er, and thought: Could it be that Lord Xiu has already decided to leave? What if she couldn't hit the Tiger Running City, and directly changed routes to return to the Wulian Mountain Range?
The Xiu'er ignored them, and continued, ”I will personally lead the operation this time, and select thirty to fifty reliable people from the new generation battalion to follow. Qu Chen and Qu Chen are in charge of surprise attacks, brother strong man, you are in charge of bringing the other people to build up momentum, to cover up our real intentions. ”
”I object!” strong man refused to listen to him even if he died, his tone carried a bit of stubbornness.
Qu Feizhi did not make a sound, and only silently shook his head.
Fat Cui did not know what to do, and looked at the crowd blankly. He knew that he did not have much of a say, so he could only wait for their decisions. However, from what he remembered, these four had never been in such a stalemate before, and strong man's attitude was especially intense.
After a long stalemate, Chen Chu said, ”I feel that the Lord Xiu's method is feasible. But I need a small correction. ” When he said till here, he did not care about strong man's gaze that was about to spew fire, and pointed at Fat Cui: ”You must go.”
Without waiting for Fat Cui to speak, strong man had already stood up and stared deadly at Chen Chu, ”Do you know how dangerous this trip will be? Do you really want to put Lord Xiu at risk?! ”
Chen Chu said indifferently, ”As your subordinate, shouldn't you listen to the commander-in-chief's orders and try your best to help the commander-in-chief complete his mission better?”
”You!” strong man was choked to the point that he could not say anything, he turned around and sat back down, then angrily slammed the table: ”Anyway, I don't agree!”
”Stop messing around!” The cold voice of the Xiu'er resounded. ”I am human, and the brothers from Red Camp and the first battalion are also human! Since they decided to follow me, as the commander, I have the responsibility to take care of them. For the sake of our brothers having eaten and drank to their heart's content, it is my duty to make this trip. ”
Reaching this point, Xiu'er took a deep breath, and her tone became a bit gentler, ”Please believe in me, believe in my ability. Since I dare to say it out loud, I must have some thoughts. At this moment, I need your help and trust to perfect this plan for me. I dare not say that it's a foolproof plan, but at the same time, I need to do my best to complete this plan and reduce the casualties. ”
”Also, even if I want to act recklessly, with such a small Tiger Running City, how many people can stop me?!” These words were said by the Xiu'er in a heroic manner!
