“That’s all there is.”

Pei Yun pointed at his own men.

Mu Xiong's face froze. He thought that Pei Yun's thousand men were the vanguard troops, going ahead to investigate the situation and clear obstacles, and the main force was still behind.

As a result, Pei Yun said that his thousand people were all there were.

Mu Xiong wondered if he had heard wrongly. These sparsely populated thousand people were the imperial court's reinforcements? How was that possible!

I must have heard it wrong.

"Mr. Pei, are you saying that this is all the reinforcements the imperial court is sending to Anding City?"

"yes."

Pei Yun nodded.

Mu Xiong was speechless for a moment, his eyes gradually changed from shock to confusion, and finally even revealed a hint of absurd smile.

I also understand why the barbarians let them come over. What use can these thousand people be?

Even if they were allowed into the city, it would not help the situation.

Moreover, these thousand men did not bring any baggage, but these thousand war horses could be killed and eaten for meat.

Mu Lan was also confused. The imperial court only sent a thousand people to support, but it would have been better if they had not come. It was such a painful feeling to see hope, but then hope turned into disappointment and even despair.

The expressions of the defenders around were frozen. A thousand people, they were probably here to deliver food to the barbarians.

Not to mention a thousand people, even if there were ten thousand people, it would be impossible to defend Anding City. Unless an army of one hundred thousand was sent, there would still be a chance to fight against Beiliang.

Mu Xiong didn't know what to say. He originally thought that the court had ended the war against Yuzhou and sent a large army to support, but it turned out that there were only a thousand people.

Even if they were allowed to leave now, they couldn't escape. Once they entered the city, the barbarians would never let them leave.

However, Mu Xiong was still very grateful to Pei Yun for coming to support with only a thousand people. At least his courage was commendable. He looked at the horses of Pei Yun and others.

He said, "Mr. Pei, Anding City has been under siege for half a year. The city has long been out of food. Many people have exchanged their children for food. The soldiers have not eaten for three days."

"Beiliang made a test yesterday. I'm afraid they will launch a general attack in the next two days. Why not kill the horses and let the soldiers have a good meal? This way we can kill more enemies. What do you think?"

Pei Yun was speechless. "General Mu, I just got here and you want to eat my horse? This is not appropriate."

Mu Xiong smiled bitterly, "I have no choice. As long as there is something to eat, I will not think of killing horses for food."

Pei Yun said: "Don't worry about food. Since I'm here, I won't let you go hungry. General Mu, please have someone notify the people in the city to come to the army to collect food. They will be full!"
