Chapter 1127 How to choose
Grandpa said that there is really no extra manpower to support him, but he will immediately send someone to bring enough food and grass to let him not be impetuous. It doesn't matter if he takes more time to attack the city, and strive to win the city with the least casualties.
This coincides with Jiang Che's current strategy of digging tunnels.
Logically, the grain should arrive today.
After all, this place is only about 500 miles away from the main battlefield on the Duke’s side, which is a few days’ journey.
I guess it will arrive tomorrow.
Jiang Che didn't think too much. Looking at the high city wall in the distance, he continued to think about the strategy of attacking the city.
Logically, the grain should arrive today.
The next day, Jiang Che commanded some soldiers to cover, and some soldiers continued to dig tunnels.
The tunnel has already been dug under the root of the city wall, give him a few more days, and the foundation of that section of the city wall will be completely loosened. At that time, the city wall may tilt or collapse, which is the time to attack the city.
By the time the sun went down, the food delivery team Jiang Che had expected to arrive had not arrived yet.
Jiang Che felt something unusual.
The general commander-in-chief of this war was his own grandfather. If it were anyone else, Jiang Che would suspect that this was deliberately trying to trick him. He had already heard people say that there were many such tricks in the army, but his grandfather would never do it. Impossible to pit him!
Moreover, there is no shortage of food and grass in the country.
Not to mention that Da Chu has been preparing for the war, and there is enough food and forage. Along the way, every time they conquer a city, all the food and forage in the city will be taken away.
Under the circumstance that there is no shortage of food, and grandfather can't possibly cheat himself, it can only be that something happened to the team delivering food.
After Jiang Che figured it out, he immediately sent a few scouts to investigate along the road. If he didn't find a supply team, he had to ask the grandfather of the country to send food and grass.
The scouts were sent out, but Jiang Che was not at ease.
If the food and grass cannot be delivered as soon as possible, after two days, the army will be out of food.
Grandpa's base camp is about 500 miles away from here. It would take two or three days for a scout to pass by, even for a fast horse, and then wait for the food and grass to come, and that would be seven or eight days later.
In other words, in the worst case, they would be without food for at least five or six days.
In five or six days, people should be almost hungry.
Jiang Che frowned, now there are several options.
First, save food and grass, eat one meal a day, and lead 5,000 soldiers to retreat to the direction of the base camp.
Second, attack the city immediately, and within two days, take the city, and there will naturally be food and grass in the city.
Third, continue the previous siege plan and continue to dig tunnels. The food and grass may arrive the day after tomorrow.
What is difficult to judge now is where the grain is and how long it will take to arrive.
Sixteen-year-old Jiang Che looked at the dark night, unable to make a decision for a while.
His decision will affect the life and death of these five thousand people, and he must be cautious.
The next day, the rations Jiang Che sent to each camp had been slightly reduced, so he had to make some preparations.
After breakfast, he ordered to continue digging tunnels.
He decided to wait a day. If the food and grass did not arrive before the sun went down today, then he had to choose one of the two options.
The sun is slowly sinking into the horizon, but there is still no trace of food and grass.
Jiang Che knew that he couldn't wait any longer, he had to make a decision immediately.
Retreat is naturally the safest plan. Save food and eat, they will starve, but they will definitely not starve to death.
