This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was given to them by God himself. If they did not cherish it, they would probably never have the chance to set foot in the Great Zhou again, to own the vast land, and to allow the herdsmen on the grassland to live a peaceful and prosperous life.
So the Khan of Beimo, without any hesitation, immediately sent his second son to lead a large army to attack Beiling City.
But now the northern army has no strength to fight, and it is not known whether the soldiers can save their lives.
In the temporary military camp of Beiling City, General Xie Qichen of Huaihua summoned the deputy generals in the army to discuss the matter of the Northern Desert Iron Cavalry Army approaching the border.
Deputy General Zhao Meng said, "Thank you, General. If you ask me, Bei Mo is just taking advantage of someone's misfortune. What are we worried about? We can just start fighting and it will be over."
"Zhao Meng, you talk nicely, but you dare to talk about starting a war without even looking at our current situation."
"What's going on? Doesn't Old Zhao know? It's just that we're out of food. But even if we hide, won't Beimo still attack us? Instead of being scolded and holding on like a turtle, it's better to fight hard. If I die on the battlefield, I, Old Zhao, can be said to have died on the battlefield, worthy of the military uniform I wear."
"You're talking about these things. Ask anyone here. They're not clear about it. So what if he does that? They still have to endure it."
"Bear, bear, bear. Just say bear, but look at the Northern Desert Army, they've been camped outside the city for ten days now, sending people up every day to yell and curse. I believe everyone knows how harsh the curses are, even without me, Old Zhao, telling you. So, honestly, can you really bear it any longer?"
When it comes to cursing, everyone in the room looks very ugly.
They knew that what Zhao Meng said was true. Since the day after the avalanche, the Second Prince of Beimo had led a large army and stationed them inside and outside Beiling City.
They did not initiate an attack, but simply sent people to the city gate to curse them, calling them cowards and hurling all kinds of unpleasant words at them.
If there had been no avalanche, how could they have tolerated Bei Mo's arrogance? But the fact was that they really did not dare to take the initiative to send troops.
Because the avalanche came so hard and fast, they were lucky enough to have managed to get all the soldiers out alive, and they had no time to go back and fetch food.
What's more, the amount of food for an army of 300,000 is not a small amount. Even if they want to bring it with them, it is unlikely. If they really do that, the loss will not only be food, but also many soldiers.
After escaping death with great difficulty, they had not even had time to catch their breath when the Northern Desert Army arrived at the city gate and caught them off guard.
Now they are firmly defending the city, unable to go out of the city to purchase food, and only rely on the food provided by the people to survive day after day.
But this is not a long-term solution. Even if they give money to the people, it will not last long. After all, although they don't know the exact number, they still know roughly how much food the people have.
