He Man and Zhou Cang had just left with the Daybreak Cavalry when Zhou Cheng ordered his men to pass down the order,""Pass down my order. Ye City has food. Take Ye City and eat for three days!”
The messenger quickly spread the news to all the tribes.
"The commander has ordered that the entire army march towards Ye City day and night. Ye City has food, take Ye City and eat for three days!”
"The commander has ordered that the entire army march towards Ye City day and night. Ye City has food, take Ye City and eat for three days!”
"The commander has ordered that the entire army march towards Ye City day and night. Ye City has food, take Ye City and eat for three days!”
The messenger rode on his horse and shouted as he spoke. The 100,000 troops were very long, but when they heard that they could eat for three days, everyone swallowed their saliva.
They were indeed hungry. After the 100,000 troops crossed the river and carried them on their backs, they would pluck the leaves of the trees they encountered and pull out the roots of the grass they encountered. They stuffed them into their mouths and chewed them to barely satisfy their hunger.
Other than the elite Tiger Battalion and Daybreak Cavalry who had food to eat, even the Boulder Battalion and Divine Martial Battalion were starving, let alone the young men of the various tribes. Needless to say, the old and weak were so hungry that their limbs could not stand steadily.
Therefore, whether it was to satisfy one's hunger or to quench one's thirst.
Now, the entire army was on steroids, and they wanted nothing more than to rush to Ye City and have a good meal after taking down the city.
On the ox cart, Xun Cai was feeding his mother meat soup.
The meat soup was very fragrant. The women who were in charge of serving Madam Cai and Xun Cai couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Then, they randomly took out a handful of grass roots from the bag and chewed it with water before swallowing it.
Although Madam Cai was physically weak, she was not blind. The moth thieves were already in such a terrible situation, but they could still provide such exquisite food to the hostages. This made her suspicious.
……
The four gates of Ye City, north, south, east, and west, were all open.
At the city gate, the soldiers were checking the luggage of the citizens.
If any weapons were found, they would be confiscated on the spot. The civilians who carried weapons would also be arrested on the spot.
Although Wang Kao was not meticulous in his work, a few aides helped him make up for the lack of details.
At this moment, the wealthy families and commoners from the 14 counties of Wei County were queuing up for inspection.
Wang Kao stood on the city gate tower and looked at the long queue. He sighed in his heart and said,"The people of Jizhou are destitute, and the moth bandits have appeared again. The poor people of Jizhou are dragging their families and children along, suffering from the cold wind.”
Wang Kao was one of the Eight Chefs, a famous person in the world who served the country and the people. At this moment, his words attracted the admiration of the aides and scholars around him.
However, they had no choice now. Who asked Jizhou to have so few soldiers? If they had soldiers and generals, would they still need to fear the moth bandits?
Just as Wang Kao and the others were lamenting over the hardships of the people and worrying about the country, a cavalryman rushed back.
It was a servant sent by Ye City.
"Get out of the way!"
"Get out of the way!"
The servant used a whip to drive away the commoners who were blocking the way and rushed into the city. Then, he dismounted and said to the people who came up to him without even panting,"Quickly report to the Provincial Governor that the moth bandits are less than 30 miles away from Ye City.”
Lieutenant Wang Kuang, who was below the city tower, was shocked and hurriedly rushed up the city tower.
30 li was already very close to Ye City.
"What? How could they advance so quickly?”
Wang Kao was shocked. According to the scouts last night, the moth bandits had yet to reach Liyang.
However, it was not even noon yet, and they had already appeared within 30 miles of Ye City. Such a terrifying marching speed was simply beyond Wang Kao's imagination.
Li Yan laughed and said," The moth bandits should know that you have adopted the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness. Therefore, they are rushing day and night to take Ye City by force. However, you can rest assured that the walls of Ye City are thick. There are nearly 20,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of people in the city. The moth bandits must be exhausted from traveling day and night. You only need to wait for fatigue and you will be able to defeat the moth bandits."”
Wang Kao heaved a sigh of relief.
"Bowen is right."
" Hurry up!" Wang Kao immediately said to Wang Kuang," Speed up the inspection and welcome the citizens into the city as soon as possible."”
"Here!" Wang Kuang immediately went downstairs to urge the soldiers.
However, the commoners of the four gates were herding cows, pigs, and sheep. The line was endless.
At their current speed, they might not be able to finish checking everything even if the moth bandits charged into the city.
Therefore, the soldiers began to inspect the luggage roughly. If they saw that there was little luggage, they would let them pass.
Zhou Cang, He Man, and the others were hiding in the group outside the north gate. There were not many of them, and they had already disguised themselves as commoners. They did not deliberately hold knives or spears in their hands, only some farming tools.
As for weapons, the soldiers at the city gate had them.
What they needed to do was to kill the generals and seize control of the city gates so that they could welcome the army into the city.
"Giddyup!"
"Giddyup!"
At this moment, another warhorse galloped over. It was a scout sent by Ye City.
After the servant hurriedly dismounted, he fell to the ground.
"Why are you so panicked?" Wang Kuang asked hurriedly.”
The scout replied,"The Moth Bandits have sent out their cavalry, and they've already killed their way ten miles away!"”
"What did you say?"
" Shut up!" Wang Kuang's hands trembled as he hurriedly shouted," Close the city gates!"”
"The moth thieves are here, let us into the city!”
"The moth thieves are here, let us into the city!”
Zhou Cang, He Man, and the others shouted from the crowd.
In order to enter the city, the commoners swarmed in and pushed against the city gate, causing the north gate to be unable to close.
Zhou Cang and He Man brought a hundred elite soldiers and picked up farming tools to kill the soldiers.
