Hungry!

Chen Dahu smacked his chapped mouth, for a whole day and two nights, except for eating a few pieces of raw snow, so far there is no grain of rice, and there are more than 1,000 people who are starving and freezing with him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Now, they are no longer lambs who are just running for their lives to be slaughtered. The people took up their swords, guns and weapons, hid in the shadows, and when they saw only a small group of rebels, they covered up and killed them, and robbed them of food for their food.

However, as the end of the year approached, the rebels' movements were no longer as frequent as before, and there was not half a shadow of the rebels on the road for three or two days.

Some people couldn't help it, and suggested raiding the nearby mountain people to get food.

In this regard, Chen Dahu resolutely refused, and even severely reprimanded the person who made such a suggestion.

"If we also go to rob the people of food and clothing, then what is the difference between us and those rebels and traitors? Aren't we also wolves in human skins? We are beasts!"

"We only grab food, and don't kill people, aren't we better than traitors and brutes?"

"That's not good! for the way of heaven is the agreement when we get together, which one mentions this matter again, don't blame me for Chen Dahu's ruthlessness!"

As he spoke, he drew the horizontal knife at his waist and looked at everyone.

Finally, no one dared to raise any objections.

Suddenly, a sentinel hurried back to the valley where they had settled, and shouted as he ran:

"Cavalry, cavalry, cavalry! There are more than two hundred ......."

This sentence was like cold water dripping into a pot of boiling oil, and it immediately caused a boil.

Chen Dahu shouted excitedly:

"Look! This is the road to the heavens! If you grab this ticket today, the war horse alone is enough to eat for several days!"

Immediately afterwards, some people questioned worriedly:

"That's cavalry, let's, can we fight it?"

As far as common sense is concerned, they mostly have short weapons in their hands, and they use short weapons to fight against cavalry, and nine times out of ten they lose.

However, Chen Dahu let it go, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, once he misses it, he doesn't know when he will have food to eat, I am afraid that in another day or two, a large number of colleagues will die of hunger.

"How can we not beat? We have thousands of people, five fight one, can't we win?"

"Fight one of five, we have a geographical advantage to raid, kill the fuck!"

Chen Dahu has many supporters in this thousand-person team, and they have echoed and agreed.

"Big guy, don't rub it off, hurry up and enter the ambush position, after this battle is fought, there will be horse meat to eat tonight!"

The main road between Fufeng County and Jingzhao Prefecture is one of the most frequent locations for the rebels, and it is adjacent to Zhongnan Mountain to the south, and the terrain is complex, this is their carefully selected position, and they have ambushed several times, and there has never been a single failure, and even more than 500 rebel foot soldiers have been defeated in one fell swoop.

It was precisely because of the more than one victory in the previous days that they were confident enough to be able to fight against those two hundred cavalry.

As soon as they entered the ambush position, the sound of horses' hooves was already coming from west to east.

"Quick, quick, tripside, are you ready?"

Chen Dahu asked uncomfortably whether Yiying's preparations were perfect, and it was not until he received a positive answer that he calmed down and leaned down.

A moment later, the war horse turned a detour and roared, the iron armor rubbed and rattled, and a group of knights in the iron armor of Youyan rushed to the road.

"Rope!"

Perhaps because of his excitement, Chen Dahu's voice was distorted. Their tripping ropes were replaced by a few wrist-thick hemp ropes, which were taut and straightened one after another, several feet above the ground.

This rudimentary tripstring really worked, and the momentum of the horse was so great that the horse's body lost its balance due to the blockage of its front legs, and the first few knights fell on the snow one after another.

However, Chen Dahu and others also ignored the great impact of the war horse, and dozens of people pulling the tripping horse rope were all affected by the huge pull of the hemp rope and bounced towards the road one after another. The horses behind followed, and in the blink of an eye, they all died tragically under the hooves.

The cavalry in the ambush was obviously extremely elite, this level of surprise attack did not frustrate their morale, but launched a counterattack at the fastest speed, the crossbow aimed at the woodland on both sides of the road is several rounds of salvo, under the suppression of the crossbow, Chen Dahu's men and horses could not even rush out of the woodland, one by one lying on the snow with their heads in their hands, dodging the deadly crossbow arrows.

Chen Dahu secretly complained, knowing that he had kicked down the iron plate this time, but now that he had opened the bow, there was no possibility of turning back, so he could only bite the bullet and grit his teeth and persevere.

"Kill out, kill out, they have few people, we have a lot of people, kill on the road, the cavalry will have no advantage, and the crossbow will be useless......"

At least eighty percent of the people gathered together have served in the army, so they naturally know the advantages and disadvantages of cavalry and crossbows.

Chen Dahu was the first to take the lead and rushed out, and the rest followed without hesitation.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of the woods, only one step away from the main road, Chen Dahu suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest, and the huge thrust made his whole body retreat sharply, and then he fell back violently, and his eyes were dark, and he didn't know anything.

"Chen Dahu is dead, Chen Dahu is dead, fight with the traitor!"

The fall of Chen Dahu made the hearts of more than 1,000 soldiers scattered, some wanted to fight with the rebel cavalry, and some sneaked away to escape.

"Those who descend will not be killed, and those who descend will not be killed!"

The clear Chinese voice sounded, and under the coercion of the deadly crossbow arrows, the people, who were still high-spirited a moment ago, finally chose to give in in in the face of death, put down their weapons one after another, knelt on the side of the road, and waited for the arrangement of fate.

The leader of the cavalry, a sturdy middle-aged man, came to Chen Dahu's side, probed his snort, and suddenly found that he still had breath, so he kneaded and patted him for a while.

Chen Dahu woke up slowly, and found that he was lying on his back on the ground, with a sheepskin blanket under him, until he saw the person in front of him clearly, he exclaimed and wanted to get up, but the sharp pain in his chest made his body soften.

"Are you a local?

Chen Dahu was alerted that he had become a traitor's prisoner, and he was ashamed and angry, and only shouted:

"Brute, dog thief, kill me, kill me!"

"Give me a reason to kill you!"

Reason?

Chen Dahu was stunned when he was asked, and looked at the traitor leader inexplicably, killing people kills, traitors and beasts even eat people, do you still need a reason to kill?

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something, and that was the leader's accent.

"You, you are from Huangyang, you are also a child of Guanzhong, so why do you become a thief?"

The leader did not speak, and the people behind him were humane:

"Open your eyes and take a good look, the one in front of you is the Anxi Army's Commander Chong, but he is not a traitor!

Chen Dahu's breathing was a little difficult, and the Anxi army was a lieutenant?

"Aren't you ......?"

"I'm Duan Xiushi, the deputy envoy of the Anxi Army!"

This sturdy leader was none other than Duan Xiushi, the general of Li Siye, the envoy of the Anxi Army, who was ordered to contact King Qin's soldiers and horses in Longyou this time, and was ambushed on the way without being careless.

At first, he thought it was a rebel, but soon recognized from the other party's clumsy and lame actions and the variety of clothes that it was just the people gathered together.

Therefore, Duan Xiushi did not kill them all as before, but tried to restrain himself as much as possible, and did not kill those who descended.

Realizing that he was alive and dead, and met the Anxi army from the king of Anxi Qin, Chen Dahu burst into tears with excitement, struggled to get up, and bowed.

"Chen Dahu of Jingzhao Chang'an County, please Duan Duwei take in me and other homeless people, as long as you can kill the traitors, you will obey your fate!"

Duan Xiushi frowned, and thought for a while, they have never had a precedent for accepting people into the army, because most of the people dragged their families and mouths, and they would only become a burden to the army, which would eventually lead to a fiasco for delaying the fighter plane.

Chen Dahu is also a smart person, and immediately added:

"I'm waiting for Xiao to gather together, just to kill the thief, the family furniture died at the hands of the traitor, and I have nothing to worry about, I beg the captain to take it in!"

Even so, Duan Xiushi was still a little hesitant, he couldn't do this kind of thing, and he had to ask Li Siye in the end.

So, he told the truth.

"I don't care if I say these things, I have to ask the deputy marshal to decide, it's better like this, you go to Ningzhou with me, and make a decision after meeting the deputy marshal." ”

When Chen Dahu heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked him again and again.

The group of people waited for the north, and Duan Xiushi arrived strangely, but he did not encounter a single rebel interception along the way, and arrived in Ningzhou two days later without any danger.

On the way, after Duan Xiushi learned about his previous experience with the people, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he couldn't imagine that after the rebels ran out of food, they would feed on people.

Including Chen Dahu and others, their courage and determination to survive in death are also amazing, daring to go against the murderous and brave rebels, this alone makes Duan Xiushi have a good impression of Chen Dahu and others.

After arriving in Ningzhou, they joined Li Siye's main force north of Meridian Mountain.

What Chen Dahu didn't expect was that Li Siye actually met him on the same day, and praised him a lot, calling him a model that the children of Guanzhong could follow.

Receiving the praise of the deputy envoy of Jiedu, Chen Dahu only felt that the whole person was fluttering, thinking that he was a civilian, but he never dreamed that he could talk under the same roof as the envoy of Jiedu.

The news brought by Chen Dahu was also extremely important to Li Siye, because he was in the mountains, the news was blocked, and he had only predicted that Lieutenant General Sun Xiaozhe would run out of food, but the specific situation was unknown. Now that he finally learned that the rumors of cannibalism were true, he made a bolder prediction that the difficulties faced by Sun Xiaozhe's army of 200,000 were far more severe than he imagined.

Chen Dahu went back to rest satisfied, but Li Siye and Duan Xiushi were a little excited and couldn't help themselves.

"Deputy marshal, judging from the last general, the time has come for the imperial court to counterattack. ”
