Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 706: Food shortage, dwarfed by

After days of siege, the enemy had run out of ammunition and food.

Qin Ming felt that they would most likely wait for support from the imperial court before they could fight him.

But no one expected that Yan Zheng would dare to stop and take risks, and even dare to arrange his few personal soldiers to come out and rob things.

"Do it!"

Changbaishan immediately sounded the horn.

Countless troops rushed forward and surrounded them.

Those who were lucky enough not to be trapped could not be happy at this time.

They have seen that the troops Qin Ming has deployed on the important roads ahead are twice as many as those under the city!

The screams penetrated the city walls and reached the city.

In less than half an hour, there was no further news of these troops.

"Your Highness, this won't do."

Seeing that the last hope was shattered.

Several of Yan Zheng's men rushed forward and offered suggestions again.

"What can you do?"

"We can no longer fight Qin Ming. If that's the case, then... let's just defend first."

One of them immediately told Yan Zheng his idea.

Yan Zheng frowned and asked:

"Guarding?"

"Yes, but we can dig some tunnels underneath to connect to the outside of the city. Then we can rush out from the city along the tunnels."

"As long as the imperial army comes to support us, we can get out of the tunnel and meet up with them, and then we can escape!"

They no longer had any way to continue fighting with Qin Ming.

"The imperial court's Tiger Roar Guards have arrived, and perhaps we can still fight."

At this moment, someone in the crowd said something inappropriate.

The moment they heard this, everyone's expression changed, and even Yan Zheng was silent for a long time.

First, they killed 100,000 Tiger Roar Guards at the hands of Qin Ming.

In the Battle of Huangpo Mountain, Qin Ming suffered heavy losses, but he also wiped out some of the toughest bones of the imperial court.

Yan Zheng also took this opportunity to break away from the control of the court.

Things are unpredictable, and now he is kneeling down to pray to the court to give him manpower.

And the person given by the court was none other than the Tiger Roar Guard.

Yan Zheng had already thought about these issues a long time ago.

If I still had those 100,000 elite soldiers, would the current situation be different?

It’s a pity that I made the wrong choice so early on, and now I can only bear the consequences.

In fact, many generals below were also somewhat dissatisfied.

But they didn't dare to say it in front of Yan Zheng.

Today the general accidentally mentioned this matter.

Although he did not directly mention that Hu Xiaowei's death was worthless.

But these words made everyone present sweat in their hearts.

After a long time, Yan Zheng finally spoke.

"Yes, we still have to rely on the elite troops of the imperial court."

Seeing that Yan Zheng had taken the initiative to turn the situation around, everyone finally started talking about the follow-up arrangements.

"Your Highness, we have planned more than a dozen roads, and we will start digging from the center of the city."

The methods used by several generals were extremely brutal.

There are more than a dozen passages drawn on the map that run through the entire city.

Doing so would ruin all the construction of the city.

The foundations of waterways, city roads, and the many pavilions and towers built over the years will be destroyed.

Such behavior shows that they don’t care about the lives of tens of thousands of people in the city at all!

"Then let's do it this way first. How many days will it take to finish digging?"

Yan Zheng also did not take the people in this city seriously.

His most important goal now is to escape.

There is a saying that goes, "A general's success is built on the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers." In order to maintain his position in the court, he can accept any sacrifice no matter how many people are sacrificed.

As they retreated into the city and never came out again, Qin Ming gave up trying to test them.

In the evening, Chang Baishan found him and reported to him the battle situation of the past few days.

"Your Majesty, we have tried for a long time, but no matter how we attack them, we cannot lure them out. There are still many civilians in the city. If we forcefully bomb them, it will cause many innocent casualties."

"Row."

After Qin Ming thought about it, he said to Chang Baishan:

"Where is the logistics team?"

"Didn't they just go back?"

Hearing Qin Ming's words, Ao Yun felt a little strange, but at this time Qin Ming shook his head and said to him again:

"I'm talking about the logistics troops coming from Daqian."

Qin Ming had already arranged a group of people.

Let them give full play to the advantages of Daqian ships.

Since their huge ships can carry a lot of cargo, they can make more trips.

Bring all the things needed by the front line from the rear.

The more times they run, the greater their chances of winning on the battlefield.

"You're talking about them."

Chang Baishan immediately understood what Qin Ming meant.

"Do you want them to bring all the resources they brought from the back?"

Qin Ming’s large ship can transport the resources needed for hundreds of thousands of troops in one trip, and they have more than just one ship.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Ming can supply most of his troops on the front line just by relying on these giant ships for transportation at sea.

With the supplies they sent, Qin Ming could concentrate his forces to quickly deal with Yan Zheng. But Qin Ming waved his hand, knowing that Yan Zheng was not important.

As long as the Yan Dynasty wants to defend this area and prevent themselves from advancing, they will have countless ways to do it.

When Yan Zheng is killed, a new one will take his place.

"When did I say we should concentrate our resources to eliminate them?"

"What do you mean?"

"We just need to weaken them as much as possible and keep Yan Chao here as well."

They have another troop.

It is said to be the exclusive force of the royal family.

Qin Ming didn't know how powerful this unit was yet, so he could only wait for other recording units on the front line to fight with them and then report back to him.

So Qin Ming is not in a hurry now.

He only needed to weaken Yan Zheng's strength as much as possible and beat their troops half to death.

"Distribute all these resources to Liu Chuang and Cao Chuan. We don't need too much. Just transport some meat over."

"Ship some meat?"

Chang Baishan was stunned. He didn't understand what Qin Ming meant. They were spending a lot of manpower at a critical moment of the war.

But only a large amount of meat was transported from the rear.

Many people know that their Daqian's breeding and animal husbandry are unrivaled in the contemporary era.

But no matter what, it is impossible to spend such important manpower during wartime just to feed the soldiers.

"You'll know once you send the things over here."

Qin Ming didn't explain too much to him.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhihao nodded, then found a telegraph and sent the message to the rear. Soon, in less than two days.

Tens of thousands of pounds of meat were delivered.

When it was served, the ice hadn't even melted yet.

This is because Qin Ming asked Yan Ziqiong to trade with him before.

Some railway tracks were built locally, and Yan Zheng himself used them a lot during the war.

So he ordered his troops not to cause any damage.

This also gave Qin Ming a lot of convenience.

They quickly transported a lot of supplies through these rails.
