Under the city wall of Chiling Pass, the royal coalition forces rushed over like a tide. Lunqinling and Zanpo on the top of the city personally commanded the army to guard the city wall. Countless wooden rocks pushed down from the city, causing heavy losses to the royal coalition forces. In addition, there were gold juice, bows and arrows, etc., and almost all the methods of defending the city were used.

Although the royal coalition's offensive was fierce, they finally retreated temporarily due to heavy losses in the face of Chiling Pass, which also made the champion at Chiling Pass burst into cheers.

However, compared to the excitement of others, Lun Qinling and Zan Po, the head coach, did not show a happy expression. The two dragged their tired bodies together, whispered a few words before walking together to a guardhouse in the city. Because the coalition forces attacked Chiling Pass during this period, their brothers almost lived and ate and lived on the city, and this guardhouse became their temporary residence.

"How much supplies are there in the city?" After asking the others to retreat, Lun Qinling immediately asked Zan Po.

"There are not many. If the coalition forces outside the city continue to attack like this, they will last for three more days at most." Zan Po also replied worriedly at this time.

Although Chiling Pass is solid, it is not large in area and has limited storage materials. After all, this pass was originally mainly to guard against the Tang Dynasty. If a war begins, there will be a steady stream of materials transported from the rear, but now it has to fight against the Tubo side in turn, so naturally there will be no source of materials.

"If it really doesn't work, just tear down some of the houses in the city, and transporting the bricks and stones to the top of the city should be able to hold on for a while. In addition, bows and arrows should be saved." Lun Qinling also frowned and thought of a way.

"But... it's winter coming soon. If the house is demolished, if the temperature drops, many people may freeze to death?" Zan Po said with some concern when he heard this. All the tribes belonging to their family moved to Chiling Pass, squeezing the already small Chiling Pass. If there was no house to live in, I really don't know how many people would freeze to death.

"Now I don't care about these things. If the city wall cannot be defended, everyone will die!" Lun Qinling gritted his teeth. The current situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, but he can only grit his teeth and hold on.

Hearing his brother say this, Zan Po could only nod and agree helplessly, but then he thought of another thing. He hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Second brother, we probably have some problems with our food!"

"What's wrong with the grain? Did Le transfer all the food that could be mobilized to Chiling Pass before?" Lun Qinling frowned even tighter when he heard bad news.

Zan Po sighed again at this time and replied: "Brother, you have mobilized a large amount of food before. In the short term, our food is indeed fine, but now the population in the city is too large and the food consumed every day is also amazing. In addition, in the long run, even if we can defeat the coalition forces outside the city, there will be no food supplements throughout the winter. With our current food reserves, it is not enough to support tomorrow's spring."

Zan Po also smiled bitterly at the end of his speech. Their food can indeed last for several months, but they have no reinforcements outside. What's the use of supporting it for several months? Moreover, after the beginning of spring, the food will take some time to grow before harvesting. What will they use to feed their soldiers and the people during this gap?

Lun Qinling suddenly fell silent when he heard this. Although he had expected that this war would make the situation very bad, now it seems that this bad situation still exceeds his previous estimates. So much bad news came together, which also made him feel powerless to turn the world around.

"Second brother, take advantage of the current situation that has not completely deteriorated, you...you have made plans too!" Zan Po hesitated for a moment at the end, but finally persuaded him. After all, he is one of the few people who know about Gong Ren's affairs, and in this situation, it is time to make plans for the future.

When Lun Qinling heard that even his brother said this, his face showed a struggled look on his face. After a while, he slowly calmed down. However, he still did not express anything, but sighed and said, "Zanba, please stare first, I'll go out!"

After Lun Qinling said that, he turned around and left the guardhouse. Zan Po behind him looked at the brother's departure and finally sighed. He knew that his second brother was under the pressure of the entire family. During this period, he also tried his best to share the pressure for him, but Lun Qinling still needs to bear some things himself and make decisions.

After Lunqinling got down from the city wall, he did not return to his residence, but stepped again to the Dead Man's Camp not far from the city gate. During this period, there were constant wars outside the city, and the people from the Dead Man's Camp were also sent to defend the city, and they were all engaged in the most dangerous things, which led to heavy deaths in the Dead Man's Camp. Now there are not many people in the Dead Man's Camp.

Lun Qinling soon came to Wang Xiaojie's tent, but compared to last time, the tent has been replaced with a brand new one, which is thick and warm, and even has special people to deliver three meals a day, and the dietary standards are the same as Lun Qinling.

Before, Wang Xiaojie pretended to be Mang Song and Mangzan, who died prematurely, resolved the plot of the royal coalition forces, so Lun Qinling also ordered to improve Wang Xiaojie's living conditions. Even though Wang Xiaojie no longer needs to pretend to be Zanp anymore, he still enjoys extremely high treatment.

Lun Qinling hesitated in front of Wang Xiaojie's tent for a moment, and finally stepped into the tent. As a result, Wang Xiaojie was sitting on a piece of felt, burning hot water on the stove next to him. He was smashing the tea cakes with his own hands, and it seemed that he was about to cook tea.

"Huh? You are not commanding the army to defend the city on the top of the city. Why are you here when you have time to come to me?" Wang Xiaojie looked up and saw Lu Qinling, and couldn't help but show a look of surprise, but then he smiled, "But you are here just right, and the water is about to be opened, so why not sit down and have a cup of tea and have a rest!"

Wang Xiaojie said that as he made a hand gesture to Lun Qinling, he poured the tea from the bowl into the water kettle, and then said again, "Now, it is popular in Chang'an City. Although the taste is a bit lighter, it has a unique flavor. You only have steamed tea cakes, and they are all New Year's goods. It is probably cheated by those treacherous merchants."

"Some of them will be good to drink. Maybe in a short while, even the tea drinker will be moved!" Lun Qinling said at the end and patted his head. As the main general, although his words were a bit unlucky, they were his most real feelings.

"Hehe, that's you, not me. If I fall into the hands of the coalition forces, they will not be willing to kill me!" Wang Xiaojie raised his head and smiled. He was the chief supervisor of Shanzhou of the Tang Dynasty. Tubo is now asking for peace from the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is impossible to kill him. As for Qinling, it may not be certain.
