Chapter 1087 Timely Rain
Liang Cheng hadn't closed his eyes for three days. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was tense. When he heard the report from his subordinates, he wanted to curse.
Qin Zhilu was worthy of being a bandit. He had no rules in fighting and just rushed forward bravely.
Of course, the Hubei Northern Army is not afraid of them, but those bandits all fight with their lives on the line. Even if it takes one for one, they will charge forward, and no one can hold out for long.
The formations that had been trained before were broken up many times by this group of bandits, and it was only with the help of the brave generals in the army that they were able to turn the tide and beat them back.
But now they really can't hold on for much longer. In two days at most, the lightly wounded soldiers will have to go to the front line. By then, the situation will be really bad!
"General, you must not touch the people stationed in northern Hubei again!" Zheng Shicheng came to hand over the food and grass, and when he heard this, he immediately dissuaded him.
Liang Cheng looked at him and asked, "If we don't move the people in northern Hubei, we won't be able to hold on here. Does Lord Zheng have any advice?"
Seeing the hope in his eyes, Zheng Shicheng smiled bitterly and said, "What advice can I give? I only know that if we touch the people in northern Hubei at this moment, we may not even have a way to retreat."
A few days ago, they received a letter from Shengze saying that he had met Rong Shaomin. He then sent a letter to northern Hubei, asking people to pay attention to whether there was any movement in the Jiji Mountain area.
You won’t know the result until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it.
The Jun people who had fled to the west earlier had come back at some point. Instead of returning to their original territory, they quietly settled down in the Jiji Mountain area.
Previously, their high priest had destroyed the land of Jiji Mountain with some unknown substance, leaving no grass growing anywhere. It was only later that Miss Shen Liu found a way to plant a kind of grass on the land and was able to save the land.
Ezhou had originally planned to cultivate the land before arranging farming and relocation, but now the Jun people have taken advantage of it.
The Jun tribe had quite a few men who fled at that time, at least 80,000 people. They had been living in peace for a while because they were intimidated by the Hubei Northern Army. However, there was no guarantee that they would not come up with other ideas after knowing that Hubei Northern Army was depleted of troops.
Liang Cheng clenched his fist and said, "If you can't move, then you can only fight hard!"
When the men heard this, the light in their eyes almost went out. Just as they were about to fight again, they heard someone outside the tent come in to report, "General, urgent news from northern Hubei!"
Liang Cheng's heart sank, "Come in quickly!"
Soon, a piece of military intelligence was delivered to Liang Cheng.
"What happened?" Zheng Shicheng saw that he looked unhappy and became nervous, so he asked quickly.
Liang Cheng said solemnly, "There's some unusual activity on the northern grasslands. They'll probably reach the northern Hubei border within the next two days."
"Grassland" Zheng Shicheng was stunned, "Aren't those the people we captured before?"
Liang Cheng was not optimistic. "But the world is difficult. Who knows, there might be people coming from further north, northwest, or northeast."
The land in Ezhou can now be regarded as a paradise, so it is reasonable that it is coveted by those with ulterior motives.
"Are we really helpless?" The person who requested reinforcements looked at Liang Cheng in despair.
"Report!"
More battle reports were delivered to Liang Cheng's tent.
Only this time, Liang Cheng laughed heartily after reading it, patted Zheng Shicheng on the shoulder and said, "Master Zheng, timely rain, timely rain! We can hold Chenzhou!"
Without waiting for Zheng Shicheng to ask, Liang Cheng smiled and told him the news he had just received.
"Those coming from the northern grasslands aren't enemies, but friendly forces! The Jiayu tribe has returned! They number two hundred thousand men, and Shan Mancheng has volunteered to disband the Jiayu warriors and incorporate them into our Hubei Northern Army to help us defend against the enemy!"
