The scout sent a message to the Duke of the Nation, informing him that they should encounter the supply convoy halfway back to the main camp.
However, with five thousand soldiers traversing a thousand miles back and forth, filling trenches and digging tunnels for over ten days, returning without success is hard to accept.
Siege is risky indeed, but it's not impossible to attempt.
Sixteen-year-old Jiang Che finally made a decision at this moment - to attack the city!
He immediately gathered the centurions and chiliarchs in the army for a meeting.
Jiang Che did not hide the issue with the supplies and went on to state his decision, "Attack the city!"
And they must capture this city as quickly as possible; only this can resolve the issue of provisions.
They can't wait until the food truly runs out to attack; by then, the soldiers would lack the strength to fight.
None of the commanders opposed Jiang Che's decision.
