Chapter 588 Who are they?
Xue Likuang watched the Beirong soldiers continue to attack the city, and continued to prepare to defend the city.
After three consecutive days of fighting, although Xue Likuang led his men to defend Shabei Pass, the soldiers were seriously injured.
And no one dared to stop and had to keep going up to the city walls to defend the city.
There were many wounded soldiers and there were not enough doctors in the city.
Some people couldn't bear it and lost their lives.
The entire Shabei City was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
The people all came to help spontaneously.
Seeing that they had not captured the city for three days, Yelu Wu became a little anxious.
He then ordered people to build mounds outside the city to raise the commanding heights so that it would be easier to shoot arrows into the city.
Anyway, they prepared a lot of arrows.
Moreover, their Beirong soldiers are good at archery and have a special archery team.
However, General Xue Likuang was prepared for the Northern Rong to build a mound.
There are higher towers in the city, and archers are stationed on them.
So it was useless for the Beirong soldiers to build a mound of earth.
Seeing that there was no other way out, Beirong's strategist came up with an idea.
That is to let the spies in the city set fire to the food in the city.
As long as there is not enough food in the city, Shabei City cannot be defended, and the soldiers in the city must go out of the city to find food.
Once they dare to open the city gates and go out to fight, the Beirong will win.
Yes, Beirong also has spies planted in Shabei City.
That was a spy who had been planted long ago.
Yelu Wu thought for a long time and then asked people to do so.
So when the Northern Rong spies received the news, they found an opportunity on the fifth day of the siege and set fire to the granary.
The act of setting fire to the granary caught everyone in Shabei City off guard.
The spy tried to escape but was caught by the soldiers in the city.
Xue Likuan had him interrogated overnight.
After interrogating them, they identified their accomplices and killed them all.
Unfortunately, the food was destroyed, making the soldiers' faces pale.
Without food, they could only survive for a few days at most.
After a few days, they had no food and they didn't dare to think about what to do.
Xue Likuan immediately wrote a secret letter and spread the news.
…
When the secret letter was urgently delivered to the emperor, the emperor quickly ordered people to collect food and send it to the border.
However, the food was raided by a team while being delivered to the border, and all the food was lost.
This made the emperor very angry.
It is not easy to gather so much food at once.
Just when the emperor and his ministers were anxious, Shen Yueyao had already sent potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other food crops from Yunzhou to Shazhou Shabei City.
It solved the urgent problem of the Great Yan Dynasty.
When the emperor heard the news, he was even more moved.
"Over one million dan of food!"
Even the court officials were speechless this time.
When they were worried about food and didn't know how to get it, Mrs. Su solved the problem directly.
One person donated more than one million dan of food.
You can imagine how much food that is.
Not to mention that the distance between food and food transported from Beizhou to Shazhou is even shorter.
Only food can be solved, but reinforcements will take several days to arrive.
The emperor and his court officials were afraid that Shabei Pass could not be defended.
But just when everyone was anxious, when the Beirong soldiers were about to capture Shabei Pass.
Two people suddenly appeared at Shabei Pass.
Two men rode into the battlefield at a very fast speed.
Two men, one holding a spear and the other holding a sword, entered the Beirong army and killed the Beirong soldiers as if they were in an empty place. The Beirong soldiers were frightened.
The two people, one man and one woman, were very skilled in martial arts. The warriors of the Northern Rong were no match for them.
"who are they?"
