Chapter 492: Conspiracy

With disheveled hair, Qi Haoran licked his peeling lips and asked, "How many days can our food and water last?"

Deputy General Zhong's face was filled with bitterness as he said in a low voice, "It'll only be enough for tomorrow…" Moreover, they could only eat until they were 30% full.

Qi Haoran was indeed a rare general, to actually withstand more than 36,000 enemies for 18 days with just 3,000 men. He did not know if General Yuan could achieve such a feat, but the general he had followed for eight years who had been an assistant commander for ten years clearly could not do it. Moreover, Qi Haoran wasn't even 20 yet.

In the end, their defeat might not be because they were no match for the enemy. Instead, they might die because they didn't have any rations or reinforcements. Deputy General Zhong had been filled with anticipation at the beginning, but now, he was disheartened. Although he could accept the upcoming outcome, he still couldn't calm down.
