At noon, the sun shone across the earth, reflecting the cold light of countless knives and guns, and the Wagang Army marched towards the Xingyang area like a tide.

Lin Tian rode on a tall horse, his eyes and the several lieutenants beside him converged in the air, his expressions were extremely chilling.

“Ten li or so further ahead, we will reach the destination of our trip, Xingyang City.”

A lieutenant of surnamed Wang, who is familiar with the terrain near Xingyang, told Lin Tian reported:

“The big dragon head led the Chinese army to the front, and the rest of the army is also nearby.”

Although Xingyang City is not a world-famous military fortress, the original The defense is not weak, and Zhang Xutuo has already strengthened the city wall a lot.

Lin Tian reined in the reins, stopped in an open space with a wide line of sight, and looked at Xingyang City faintly.

Outside Xingyang City, a deep moat caught his eye, and the city wall was waiting for the defenders.

Lin Tian looked towards the infantry behind him. The army he commanded was mostly desperate people who went to Wagang just to make a living. His quality was very ordinary.

Although it has been honed for a period of time, the real battle strength is still worse than that of a properly trained army.

Lin Tian looked to the right again, a group of cavalrymen in neat coats and hats, all carrying horizontal knives, longbows and quivers, as well as some necessary items.

The more than 300 light cavalry under his command are well-equipped, but they are still a bit worse than the real elite.

Those heavy cavalry in heavy armor, called meat grinders on the battlefield, were all in the middle army led by Zhai Rang.

Du Fuwei’s central army was spread out on a hill, with cavalry as the main force and heavily armed armored army as the second.

The vanguard is composed of shield soldiers, archers, knife and axemen and fortification soldiers, equipped with large-scale equipment such as ladders and towers to attack the city.

The left and right flank armies each consisted of 5,000 men, all of them cavalry.

There are still two troops in the rear of the central army, which can not only defend the rear road, but also serve as reinforcements.

Dozens of iron-plate vertical vehicles designed to block arrows began to move towards Xingyang City. Behind each vehicle were more than a dozen archers. As long as they reached an appropriate distance, they could go from vertical to two. Zhang’s big iron plate sent arrows to the city, covering the attack of others.

The carts began to advance, moving towards them like towers.

Because the height of the warrior on the building car is similar to the wall, it can not only cover the entire city within the range of the arrows, but when the city wall is taped, the warrior can also directly step over the wall , and invaded the city.

Hundreds of catapults, driven by hundreds of fortification soldiers, came first, passed the building cars, and chased after the arrow-blocking iron-plate cars.

However, the heavy cavalry is Zhai Rang’s family property. Usually, they are given the best treatment, and it is impossible to give him the leadership. It is enough to have these three hundred light cavalry.

“Convey the order to close the camp, let the soldiers enter the state of standing by and wait for the news of the attack of the big dragon head.” The big tent served as a temporary army base camp.

“General Lin, the precautions you have given have been sent. Weapons, Battle Armor, and flags are all available, just military rations…”

In the camp, Lin Tian sat upright , while Deputy General Wang became hesitant, with an expression that has several points of indecision.

The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass will go first. The military food is one of the most important major events when going on an expedition.

Lin Tian’s expression couldn’t help changing. If there was a problem with the food and grass, and the soldiers’ daily needs for food could not be met in time, there would definitely be a big mess.

Hungry is no small matter, it’s a major event.

He didn’t want to delay the siege plan of the entire Wagang army because of the problem of food and grass.

Lin Tian’s voice suddenly became cold, like the cold wind in the cold winter season, blowing into Vice-General Wang’s ears:

“Call in the officials responsible for managing the military rations.”

Although Lieutenant General Wang was promoted through his relationship with Zhai Rang,

he also knew that the food and forage matter was of great importance, and hurriedly obeyed Lin Tian’s orders.

It didn’t take long for Deputy General Wang to return to the camp, with a pale-faced man following him.

“You are Sun Ping, who is in charge of managing the food and grass?”

The battalion has officers in charge of weapons, horses, armor, etc. Chief-In-Charge took note.

Seeing Lin Tian’s cold eyes and knowing that he was wrong, Sun Ping immediately softened and knelt on the ground involuntarily:

“General Lin, forgive me.”

His eyes were red all of a sudden, his voice burst into tears, and he began to cry in front of Lin Tian.

“According to your order, I purchased grain from various places, and things were going very well, but.”

He wiped the tears from crash-bang, his voice carried A little choked up.

“But I don’t know what happened, the price of grain suddenly skyrocketed several times, and the original money was suddenly not enough, so there was no preparation for grain and grass.”

“No matter what. For whatever reason, the result is that it is not completed, you go down and receive the penalty.”

Lin Tian’s face was still cold, he did not believe his side words, but nodded signaled him to step back.

Lin Tian shook his head secretly. The incident had already happened, and it was useless to just punish him. Timely remedy was the most urgent matter.

He looked towards Lieutenant General Wang, who looked thoughtful on the side, put on invisible pressure, and asked:

“The siege equipment is ready, and it is placed in the middle of the army. Battalion, the big dragon head may issue an order to attack the city at any time.”

“Who is interfering in the middle? Lieutenant General Wang, as a local person, you must know the doorway.”

Wang The lieutenant was so frightened that he was sweating coldly, and under Lin Tian’s incomparably forced gaze, he whispered his guess:

“From the following point of view, it should be the nearby Aristocratic Family, who knows Wagang. The news of the siege manipulated the sale of food.”

“The most prestigious family in this neighborhood is the Cui Family, and most of the wealthy families take the Cui Family as their leader.” Deputy General Wang then added.

Lin Tian nodded slightly, just as he thought, someone was driving up the price of food, which caused the price far beyond normal.

War is a disaster for ordinary people, but for some, it is a way to make a fortune.

There are many people who have made war money this year. It is a common method to manipulate food prices and buy low and sell high to obtain profits.

Lin Tian’s eyes are cold, and he dares to interfere with his affairs, he doesn’t care which Aristocratic Family is opposite.

“General Lin, think twice before acting, and don’t act impulsively.”

Seeing that Lin Tian’s anger was already rising, Deputy General Wang persuaded:

“The site of the Cui Family is in the county seat around Xingyang, occupying a lot of fields, forming a fortress by itself, and there are thousands of servants and slaves. It is really not to be trifled with.”

“You Don’t worry, I’m not an unreasonable Barbarian either.”

Lin Tian suppressed the anger in his heart and calmed down: “If the Cui Family is willing to cooperate with us and the siege major event comes first, I won’t either. Embarrass them.”
