Chapter 0197: Cunning
It's strange, what do these steppe cavalrymen eat, can they hold out for so long?
Pingyi's hand to capture the city was very small, Tang Yuan was too lazy to attack the city, just pulled the team apart, blocked the three city gates, and left them with the north gate for them to run.
But they did not run, but stayed in the city.
went to fight the enemy and scold the array, but they didn't move, so they didn't understand.
Finding an interpreter and standing at the gate of the city and scolding their ancestors in Turkic, these guys covered their ears and didn't listen.
A piece of rotten meat, it's disgusting to throw it here, it's even more disgusting to eat it, let them get out of here, and if they don't get out, what does that mean?
At this time, Tang Su had already eliminated the enemy of Fenglin Pass, and sent someone to ask Tang Yuan about the situation here.
Feng Feima sighed while eating meat: "Oh, General Tang Su's strength is strong, when he arrived at Fenglin Pass, with a wave of his hand, Fenglin Pass was wiped out." ”
Tang Yuan snatched Feng Feima's dinner plate, threw it aside, and asked, "Do you still want to eat it?" ”
Feng Feima grinned and said, "Actually, the ugly words have been swallowed by me, do you have to listen to them?" ”
Tang Yuan looked at Feng Feima coldly: "How many enemies did they kill when they fought Fenglin Pass, and how much did they injure?" ”
"There are more than 2,000 people who retreated to Fenglin Pass, and there were still 1,000 in the city when the city was broken, and the other 1,000 people don't know where to go. When they had nothing to eat, they ate their horses. So even if the city was broken, there were no supplies. On the contrary, during the siege of the city, more than 800 people were injured. Feng Feima said.
"How many are dead, how many are crippled?" Tang Yuan asked.
"Five hundred dead, one hundred maimed, two hundred seriously wounded. Minor injuries are not counted at all. Feng Feima said.
"Do you know how many people are in Pingping?" Tang Yuan asked.
"I don't know." Feng Pegasus said.
"I visually see at least three thousand." Tang Yuan said: "If we attack, the damage will definitely be greater than Tang Su, but if we surround and don't fight, let them get out of the way, we can lose a lot." ”
"So you've been leaning on it like this?"
"At first, I didn't understand what they were eating, but now I may know that three thousand of them are eating war horses." Tang Yuan said: "Give me another half a month, I don't believe they still have food, when they eat all the horses, I want to see if these guys can eat the city wall." When the time comes, I can't run if I want to, so I will take in these 3,000 people. ”
This group of Turks, in the western part of the Mobei grassland, established a new dynasty, transliterated "Xinwai", what does "Xinwai" mean, Tang Yuan didn't bother to inquire, and at this time trapped in Pingyi City, although they are also a branch of the Turks, they are not in a group with the current Xinwai, according to their words, they belong to two tribes, and they have been feuding for many years. They would have been descendants of a small country conquered by the new foreigners.
This time they were forced to start a war with Daliang, they had no intention of fighting, and when Ashina Devin died in battle, they had no one to control them, so they didn't run to Fenglin Pass with the new foreigners, but ran to Pingyi City.
They were dumbfounded when they ran to Pingyi, because this was a dead end, and then they ran west, it was the vast Kunlun Mountain, but they wanted to return, but the road was blocked by Tang Yuan.
Although the north gate was open, they were not familiar with the terrain here, and they felt that the Han people were very cunning, and there must be an ambush when they left the north gate, and they could not go out.
Tang Yuan's 10,000 people are now 8,000 left, including 3,000 cavalry, not decreasing but increasing, Tang Yuan is good at fighting for supplies, and is a well-known chicken thief in the Western Expeditionary Army.
All the pioneers scolded him as "Tang Sanguang", as long as Tang Yuan had been to the city, it must be Ma Guang, Qian Guang, and Liang Caoguang, it would be good to leave the land for you, and I couldn't wait to scrape the ground and take it away.
In fact, Tang Yuan also had no choice, the northwest land was seriously desertified, relatively barren, and there was little food, if he didn't do this, his subordinates would have starved to death, and at this time, the food sent from Chang'an was difficult to keep up with the pace of the vanguard troops, and the cruelty of the war was vividly reflected in the vanguard troops.
Tang Su urged Tang Yuan to attack quickly, Tang Yuan pretended to be a dead dog, and said that there was a sudden outbreak of plague in the army, and it could not be beaten, and it was necessary to wait for the plague to pass before it could be fought.
This news frightened Tang Su a lot, and immediately cut off contact with Tang Yuan to prevent the epidemic from spreading to his team, even Feng Feima He didn't want it, let him go back to Tang Yuan's troops, don't come to make trouble for me.
However, Tang Su was quite kind, and asked Feng Feima to bring a lot of medicinal materials, saying that it was very effective in dealing with plague miasma.
Tang Yuan couldn't stop snickering.
It was freezing cold, and Tang Yuan sat in the military tent, guarding the brazier.
There was a handsome woman sitting next to her, holding a dry and hard steamed bun and gnawing it for a long time, only gnawing a few tooth marks on the bun.
"What a thing!" Lin Qiao'er threw the bun in front of Tang Yuan, "I'm running so far with you, you just give me this!" ”
"I asked you to come?" Tang Yuan's face tightened: "You came to me to waste food, it's good that I didn't scold you, you still pick and choose!" If you don't eat it, don't eat it in the future. ”
Why are buns in the army so hard?
In fact, this is a method of embalming, you can't gnaw it directly when eating, you have to soak it in water.
Tang Yuan was bad in his heart, and he didn't tell Lin Qiao'er, Qiao'er girl gnawed on bones like a dog for a long time, and finally she was so angry that she didn't eat it.
To know the hardness of this kind of white-flour glutinous rice cake, some cities use it to build brick walls in order to increase defense, which is not uncommon in history.
Gnawing with teeth, who can bite?
Tang Yuan smiled evilly, then got some water, poured it into the pot, and soon after the water boiled, he threw the bun into the pot, boiled it for a while, and the bun was soft.
"Well, this time you can eat, I'll just drink the soup." Tang Yuan took out the bun.
"I don't eat, I want soup." The girl said angrily.
"That's what you said." Tang Yuan was not polite.
The girl took a sip of soup and suddenly cried: "This thing looks quite sticky, and it tastes no different from water." ”
Tang Yuan ate half of the bun, handed it to the girl and said, "You are a hypocrisy, you don't believe anything you say, as if others are always lying to you." Well, I'll admit it, I didn't tell you how to eat this thing at first, I was wrong, but now that it's ready, what else do you not believe? ”
"You're not a good person at all."
"I'm not a good person, why are you chasing me? You like bad guys, huh? ”
The girl snatched half of the soft bun away, hid it to the side and ate it, and cried again as she ate: "It's so unpalatable." ”
"It's nice to be full, there's a lot going on." Tang Yuan said indignantly.
"If I hadn't eaten up all the food I brought, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you." Teenage girl crazy.
"And what are you doing here?" Tang Yuan reprimanded.
The girl was so angry that she didn't eat the bun anymore, and fell to the ground with a sob. It seems that she is out of the way, and she has to sleep in the tent.
Seeing that the wax moon is about to pass, Tang Yuan will be twenty years old after the New Year, and the young man has not yet tasted the incident between men and women, and he is also excited from time to time.
But after thinking about it, if I am tied to this stubborn and willful girl in the future, will life be better?
