Pinch your waist: Your husband has a beauty mark

Chapter 1689: Can I Really Survive?

When Manjusri heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"So, Your Highness, you also think that Wucheng cannot be defended?" The situation in Wucheng is very serious, and Wenshu has known it for a long time.

He just didn't dare to say it because he was afraid of destroying everyone's morale.

Wucheng has a flat terrain and has no obvious advantages in attack or defense, but Qingcheng is less than thirty miles away from Wucheng.

Qingcheng is rich, and King Zheng’s army will have a large amount of supplies after entering Qingcheng.

After the army has had a good rest, they will go to Wucheng. It is such a short distance and their soldiers will not be tired from the journey.

The 80,000 soldiers who have recuperated their strength will surely be in high spirits when facing the 30,000 soldiers who are worried.

By then, there is a high possibility that the soldiers of Wucheng will not be able to hold on.

Gu Yunxi didn't say anything, so Wenshu knew it, and she didn't refute this possibility.

"But we only have 40,000 soldiers. Where can we get the manpower to reinforce Wucheng?" Wenshu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Don't worry. As long as we can hold on, Prince Zheng's army will not be able to reach Wucheng directly through the official road of Dianzhou City. In this case, they must bypass Dianzhou and take the mountain road, which will take at least half a month to reach Qingcheng. After they arrive in Qingcheng, the soldiers will have to rest for at least three or two days because of the long journey."

Gu Yunxi was counting the days: "That is to say, our reinforcements can arrive in sixteen or seventeen days at the latest, and we can still rescue them."

"As for the road from Dianzhou City to Wucheng, it only takes two days to get there by official road. In other words, we can have at least fourteen or fifteen days to discuss how to dispatch reinforcements."

Manjusri really wanted to say that the key point was that they had no reinforcements to send out.

But seeing Gu Yunxi's steady and powerful gaze, Wenshu suddenly seemed to see hope.

Perhaps, Your Highness has another trick up his sleeve?

"Then Your Highness, what should we do now?"

"Go find Nangong Chu. He has already started arranging the positions of the guards in the mountain stream. I gave him the distribution map. The formation of the guards will be left to you in the next two days."

"Yes!" Manjusri bowed and went out immediately.

Gu Yunxi returned to the tent, unfolded the topographic map, and looked at the locations of Dianzhou City, Qingcheng and Wucheng.

She has no next move yet. After all, a good cook cannot cook without rice.

But perhaps, this "rice" will appear soon?

……

On the fifth day, there were still very few people coming to sign up as new recruits.

However, there are more able-bodied men today, and the number of girls is also more than yesterday.

There were more than 2,000 people in total.

By the afternoon, almost no one came to sign up.

Gu Yunxi ordered Yan Shisan to arrange personnel and continue to stay in the city gate square to recruit new soldiers.

But the people's distrust of them is growing day by day.

"There must be a serious shortage of manpower, so we have to recruit soldiers at this last minute."

"It's not that I don't trust Lord Xuan, but I really don't trust this girl. How can a woman be the commander of an army?"

"I heard he is the crown prince of Beiling..."

"Alas! How could the prince of Beiling really help the people of Nanling? Maybe he came here to cause trouble on purpose."

"I don't know if the sky above Nanling will really collapse. Life for us ordinary people will be miserable!"

It is said that Prince Zheng's army will arrive soon. I don't know who said it, but they will arrive tomorrow?

This battle will start tomorrow. By then, can everyone really survive?
