Chapter 1741

They came out to forage at night and found places to hide during the day.

This gave them a chance, so they wouldn't starve to death in the city.

Having no other choice, many residents slipped out during the day to find food.

It was fine at the beginning, and there was still some food in the surroundings.

But as days passed, there was no food in the surroundings.

They could only run to more distant places to find food.

Some people went out and never returned.

Some people also chose to flee here directly.

After all, there was nothing to eat nearby, and they would starve to death sooner or later.

Under this general trend, more and more people fled here.

Due to various reasons, there were less than seventy or eighty thousand ordinary commoners left in this city.

There were originally forty or fifty thousand soldiers, but because of resisting the infected and searching for food,

now there were less than ten thousand soldiers left; this was a devastating loss.

There were less than one hundred thousand people in the entire city.

And food was scarce; they were all people who didn't dare to go out to find food.

And the food in the surroundings had been taken by previous people.

If they wanted to find food, they had to go to more distant places.

Many people were afraid of those infected.

Therefore, they would rather starve to death than go out to find food.

The order in the city was also collapsing bit by bit.

If it weren't for Jin Zhipang, it would likely have become a situation of cannibalism.

But this was likely a matter of time as well.

Now there was only a little bit of food left; once there was no food and no one to rescue them,

cannibalism was already destined.

They were all struggling to hold on, suffering.

Once they couldn't hold on, the order of the entire city would also collapse in an instant.

By that time, they wouldn't need the infected to attack; they would destroy themselves.

Now the entire Gija Kingdom was in a state of misery.

They had originally wanted to wait for support from the capital.

But so much time had passed, and there was no support at all.

They only had self-rescue, without any support.

Some speculated that the capital had also fallen.

Otherwise, so much time had passed, why hadn't anyone come to rescue them?

They had originally thought about going on a long journey to find food in recent days.

But today, the commoners digging traps outside the city all rushed into the city.

They informed them that a large number of cavalry had come outside.

Subsequently, there was that scene of Jin Zhipang taking people up to the city walls.

This was the general situation of Panshi City.

These words came from Jin Zhipang's mouth, with only endless bitterness.

This was completely forced into this state by the infected.

Jin Zhipang finished introducing the situation of Panshi City.

All the Great Qin generals looked at him.

"Food is scarce?"

"Then how did you get so fat?"

Meng Tian looked at Jin Zhipang with surprise.

According to Jin Zhipang's statement, there wasn't much food left in this Panshi City.

But this city lord was still so fat.

Saying there was no food, it was estimated that no one would believe it.

"This... there is a little stock in the City Lord's Mansion."

Jin Zhipang was somewhat embarrassed; after all, not many people knew about this matter.

Otherwise, it was possible that someone would steal food from the City Lord's Mansion.

"No wonder..."

Meng Tian was somewhat disdainful.

The commoners couldn't even eat their fill, yet this city lord was fat like this.

The suffering of the commoners had nothing to do with this city lord.

But thinking about it, it was also correct; people with power could survive very well in troubled times.

He was somewhat disdainful of such people; fortunately, this was not the Great Qin.

If Jin Zhipang dared to do this in the Great Qin, Meng Tian would certainly go up and give him a slash.

The kind that didn't show the slightest bit of face.

It was human nature; there are a thousand people and a thousand faces, and Meng Tian had nothing to say.

Facing such a disaster, some people would do even more excessive things.

Now, Jin Zhipang's approach was not the most extreme kind.

"Then let's enter the city first!"

"Leave some people behind to continue digging traps; these traps are useful."

Meng Tian issued an order to let the great army enter the city.

Outside this city was not a safe place.

Now that they had found such a suitable place,

they certainly had to take over this city.

Only by mastering Panshi City in their own hands could they do more things.

The great army began to enter the city, taking over Panshi City.

At the same time, they left some soldiers outside the city to continue digging traps.

Meng Tian only wanted to take over this place personally.

It was better to have their own people do the digging of traps.

This way, they could also feel more at ease.

After all, listening to Jin Zhipang say there was nothing to eat in the city, it was estimated that it was true.

The residents in the city were estimated to be starving.

How could they have the strength to dig traps.

Even if they dug, those traps were estimated to be unreliable.

As soon as Han Xin entered the city, he took soldiers to occupy key points everywhere.

He quickly controlled the entire Panshi City.

At this moment, Panshi City also fell into the hands of the Great Qin.

This also made people feel more at ease.

At least what Jin Zhipang said was true.

The commoners and soldiers in the city were truly not many.

Both sides did not have any conflict.

Mainly because seeing so many soldiers enter the city,

the commoners in the city didn't dare to make a move.

Because they also saw that these were not the military forces of their own country.

They originally thought it was the capital coming to rescue them.

But it was far from that. ===== CHAPTER 1743 =====
