Outside Wuqing City, Thirteen Lang, Ma Huaide, Li Weixian and Liu Jian gathered around a brazier, drinking wine and eating meat. They are close to each other in military camps, and they have to cooperate in battle, and they are often together. There is no war these days, and I have to wait for Zhao Zhen to come, and the days are a little boring.

After taking a sip of wine, Thirteen Lang said: "Straight lady thief, I have been waiting outside Wuqing City for so many days, and I don't know when I will return to Beijing for the New Year." Looking at the appearance of the Khitan people, they lack food and clothing, they just don't fall, I really don't know what they are waiting for! ”

"Wait for death." Liu Jian shook his head. "Now it's clear, the Khitan army can't win, can't run, except for waiting for death, what are they waiting for there? If you want me to say, at this time, just wait a few more days and starve all the Khitans to death! ”

Li Weixian said: "Don't take it lightly! The Khitan is full of cavalry, and when there is an opportunity, the whole army flees, and it is not easy to chase. ”

Hearing this, Liu Jian laughed out loud. Said: "Tai Lieutenant, after so many days, where are the Khitans still cavalry?" Recently, they have been killing horses to satisfy their hunger, thinking that there is still food? In a few days, I see that their horses will be slaughtered. ”

"What if you don't kill? If there is no military rations, there will be fodder for the horses? Instead of starving to death, it is better to kill and eat meat. "Thirteen Lang shook his head, slowly." What the Khitan lacked was not only food for people to eat, but also forage for horses. Speaking of which, these horses are really unlucky, how did they meet such a master? 400,000 cavalry horses, a lot of money! ”

Ma Huaide raised his glass and drank a glass of wine with everyone, and said: "Anyway, the Khitan people have no way out. In fact, if they really surrender, the court will still be in trouble. For 400,000 people, it is not easy to take care of food. We have an army of more than 400,000 people, and it is extremely difficult for the imperial court to supply military supplies. With so many mouths, where is there so much extra money. We don't need to be anxious, as long as we surround the Khitans to death, they can't escape. ”

Several people nodded their heads one after another. The enemy has no food to eat, and it will be easy to fight in the rear.

At this moment, a personal soldier came in and said, "Captain, I watched the fight in the Khitan military camp over there!" How does it work? ”

"What's going on?" Ma Huaide stood up suddenly. "Is it the Khitans fighting the Khitans?"

The soldier said: "I saw in the telescope that it was the Khitan people who were fighting with the signing army. In recent days, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing. But like today, the fight is inextricable, but I haven't seen it. And in other military camps, there is no one to come forward to help. ”

"Let's go, go out and have a look!" Ma Huaide greeted a few people and hurriedly got out of the handsome tent.

When he arrived at the top of the watchtower, Ma Huaide raised his binoculars and looked at the Khitan military camp not far away. I saw hundreds of troops inside, fighting against more than 100 Khitans there. The two sides exchanged swords and swords, and the fight was lively. The Khitan people next to him watched lazily and did not step forward to help.

Putting down the binoculars, Ma Huaide said: "It looks very strange, inside it is the signing army and the Khitan people fighting, there are many signing soldiers, but the Khitan people are better at fighting, and they are on the same footing." Obviously, there were Khitan people next to him, but he didn't go up to help, just stood there and watched the excitement. ”

Thirteen Lang, Li Weixian, and Liu Lian stepped forward and looked at it for a while, puzzled.

Liu Jian said: "These Khitan people, I'm afraid they're crazy!" Lack of clothes and less wear, it is estimated that there is a boredom relief. ”

Li Weixian said: "Taiwei, there are dozens of corpses on the ground next to them, and they are clearly going to die!" ”

Thirteen Lang said: "Alas, I'm afraid that there should be something terrible in the Khitan military camp now." It's a pity that we don't know, so we can only watch the excitement here. Not a bad thing for us, though. Now they kill more of themselves, and when I attack, there will be fewer of them. ”

A few people looked at it, and they couldn't see anything famous, so they could only watch the excitement there.

In the Khitan barracks, Han Funu looked lazily ahead with his arms crossed, looking careless. A soldier next to him, looking at a crowd fighting in front of him, from time to time someone fell to the ground covered in blood, and couldn't help frowning. I couldn't help it, and said to Han Funu: "General, these signing troops are so fierce today, and many soldiers have fallen to the ground, why don't we step forward-"

"What are you doing?" Han Funu looked disgusted with the nosy soldiers. "These signing soldiers have not eaten for three days, and those who grab food will naturally give up their lives. What do we do? In the past two days, the military rations have been reduced by more than half compared with normal days. ”

The soldier said: "Most of the soldiers are Han Chinese, if they win, will they come to us to make trouble?" ”

Han Funu said: "This wait, it doesn't matter if he is a Han or a Khitan." If you don't have something in your stomach, you don't care so much. Even if the signing army wins, what's the use of looking for us? We don't have food either. ”

After speaking, Han Funu stretched out his hand and waved: "Look at the excitement with peace of mind, what are you doing with so many idle things!" ”

The sergeant shook his head, and had to stand there and watch the two armies fighting next to him.

signed hundreds of troops for Li, and did chores for Han Funu's army to transport grain. There was no military ration for three days, and I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and there was trouble recently. More than 100 Khitan soldiers came from Yelu Hongji's side to correct the order. I didn't expect that today's signing army was ruthless, and if there was no food, sooner or later they would starve to death, so it was better to fight to the death with the Khitan soldiers who came.

What is surprising is that Han Funu and other Khitan troops sat back and watched the two armies fight, and did not come forward to help. This unexpected accident of the leader of the Khitan army, for a while, was entangled by the signing army and fought there non-stop.

Killing the signing army in front of him, the leader Mogu said sharply to Han Funu: "We impeached the signing army to rebel, and you still stepped forward to help!" ”

Han Funu squinted and sneered: "That's your business, what do you have to do with us?" They have no food to eat, and we have no food, and if there is no food in their stomachs, they naturally have no strength. Brother, you are well fed and drunk, of course these things are your business. ”

Mogu said in a loud voice: "Okay, you sit and watch today, and when I go back, I will report to the top." When you get there, you know it's amazing! ”

Han Funu said: "You still want to ask yourself for a big life today, and then you can go back." At this time, are you still afraid that you will report to the top? Don't laugh off my big teeth! You go back and give it a try, report to the top, who dares to take care of the house! ”

After speaking, with a disdainful expression, he was so angry that Mogu Qiqi smoked. There is no way, as the army runs out of food, the Khitan army is becoming more and more difficult to manage. They were originally united by tribes, separated from each other, and the distribution of military rations was unfair. The signing army was dissatisfied, and Han Funu and other tribes that were more estranged from the royal family were also dissatisfied. They will not rebel, but they will sign the army to rebel and be happy to sit idly by.

Don't let these Khitans who come down to be pressed suffer some hardships, they are unwilling to share the grain. Now it is not yet the time to run out of ammunition and food, so the military rations will be deducted, and then it will be repaid. This time I went south, I didn't grab anything, the cattle and sheep at home still don't know how, and they can't eat enough, how can this battle continue? According to Han Funu's thoughts, there is no hope of victory now, so it is better to descend early. I don't believe that the Song people can still kill all the captives, as long as they can return to the grassland, they will be a good man in a few years.

Now the order in the Khitan military camp is very chaotic. The signing army rebelled, and the Khitan army robbed each other of grain and grass materials, and it was unstable day by day. Yelu Hongji kept sending his own soldiers to shake the pressure, and slowly began to be a little overwhelmed. Today, there was an open fight in the barracks, and there was a lively scene all around.
