79 Walk of Shame

As Meng Fuayo had anticipated, the Rong army did what a normal troop would against a tough enemy such as Yaocheng – start a siege.

Yaocheng had limited army provisions, which shouldn't have been the case, but King De had sent a message a few days back, informing that transportation was delayed due to the bad weather. The front line couldn't do a day without food, so King De transferred it from within the city, promising to deliver more provisions from Huazhou when it became available. However, from the looks of it, their stomachs would've digested themselves by the time help arrived.

They had enough provisions to last about ten days, but there was a more pressing issue. The Han-Rong mixed city was like a ticking time bomb, and someone within could easily set it off. Plus, they had only 800 soldiers, who were already exhausted from resisting the enemy, so how were they going to guard against the potential internal issues?
