"The Metropolitan Governor is victorious! …… The Metropolitan Governor wins! ”

Xiao Yi rode into battle alone, within the lily, killed the 'first general in Hebei' Yan Liang, provoked the head with a boring blade, and galloped in front of the two armies.

On the contrary, Yuan Jun's morale plummeted, like a mourning exam, "My good man, Yan Liang, who is the person, the first general in Hebei, and the characters of the three armies of Yongguan, were all beheaded by 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang', and others went up, didn't they die in vain?" ”

"Wow! …… Wow! ”

The general died, the soldiers had no heart to fight, Yuan Jun retreated like a tide, and carried Yan Liang's body away, a generation of famous generals, died on the battlefield, at least hold a decent funeral, let him be buried in the ground, it doesn't matter if he has no head, just carve one with sandalwood, and pretend to be a wooden head, which is much stronger than being a headless ghost!

Yan Liang's death gave Yuan Jun a blow to the head, completely destroyed their courage to break through, the stickers gained the upper hand, Feng Ji took over the command, and ordered all departments to stand by for help, and then there were those who broke through without authorization - beheaded!

The Yuan army no longer broke through, and Xiao Yi did not attack, but continued to repair barriers, dig trenches, strengthen the blockade line, and put on a posture of protracted war, and the battle situation entered a stalemate stage!

…………………………………………………………………………………………

"Whew! …… Phew! Phew! ”

The battle situation is stalemate, the soldiers' stomachs can not stop, as long as they don't die for a day, they have to eat, the grain and grass in the army are exhausted, and they can only continue to slaughter the war horses.

No one was willing to slaughter their war horses, but the hungry stomach forced Yuan Jun, and in desperation, the soldiers had to exchange mounts with each other, tearfully stabbed and slaughtered and ate meat.

However, the number of war horses is limited, and it is impossible for 80,000 soldiers to be full, so they can only be distributed according to their positions, first of all, we must ensure that the generals' stomachs, no matter how bad the situation is, they are the first to enjoy it, and only after eating the rest can they be distributed to ordinary soldiers, this is the privilege of the superior, there are times when they are alive, and they are also after death!

The second is the soldiers on the front line of protection, patrolling day and night, extremely hard, and having the strength to fight without eating, so each person can get a piece of horse meat, barely half full, as for ordinary soldiers, several people share a piece of horse meat, and then have a mouthful of soup to drink!

The most pitiful of all are the wounded soldiers, who were wounded in the previous breakout battle and lost their combat effectiveness, and these useless people, who are not qualified to consume precious food, are thrown into the wilderness, and let them wail and cry, starve to death, or kill themselves!

The purpose of holding on is to wait for help, but when the reinforcements will come, no one knows, someone with a heart has made some calculations, after those messengers break out, if they are lucky, they can steal a horse, and then quickly whip the horse, and they can rush to Jincheng in about ten days!

General Wen Chou received an urgent report, pulled out the camp and set up the village, got rid of the pursuit of the enemy, and then marched day and night, all the way to the dry water river, it will take at least fifteen days, that is to say, theoretically after twenty-five days, reinforcements will appear, and everyone will be saved!

Of course, twenty-five days is only a theoretical number, and no one can predict what the actual situation will be, if the messengers are caught by the enemy, or if they escape, but they can't steal the horses, and they just run on two legs to deliver the message, that speed will make people cry!

It is also possible that the messenger stole the horse and galloped all the way, so as not to break the horse's leg and fall to his death; Encounter wild beasts, get eaten, or get lost and can't find the camp of General Wen Chou...... Any situation can happen!

Therefore, twenty-five days is a theoretical number, a month is a hope number, more than a month, it is not surprising, there is even a possibility, reinforcements will never come, or come too late, can only collect the corpses of the soldiers, what is the providence, it is difficult to predict!

80,000 soldiers of the Yuan army, up to the commander Yuan Shang, down to the ordinary soldiers, looked at the east every day, looking forward to the arrival of Wen Chou's army, the inside and the outside, not seeking victory, as long as they could escape, and then ran all the way back to Hebei, never to come to this ghost place again, let alone meet that 'god-killing' enemy!

The word 'stick' is easy to say, but it is even more difficult to do in practice than to ascend to the sky, not only because of the shortage of food, but also because there is nothing else, and the army is completely in a desperate situation!

Hold on to the sixth day, the fuel in the army is exhausted, dry firewood, forage, clothing, tents, arrow shafts ......, all that can be burned are gone, the dry water river is a Jedi, there is no firewood and grass for the army to use, from this day on, the soldiers of the Yuan army can only eat horse meat raw!

On the tenth day when the army was trapped, everyone couldn't even eat raw meat, the horses in the army were slaughtered, except for the mounts of the generals, the other mules and horses were all eaten by the 80,000 army, and then, they could only eat something that was not food!

Horse skins, horse intestines, horse hooves, and ...... these wastes were picked up and became the living rations of the soldiers, and even the horse bones became good things, and after being smashed, they could lick the bone marrow and oil residue inside......

On the fifteenth day, the horse's bones were also gone, and Yuan Jun went crazy, like a group of hungry beasts, devouring everything that could be eaten, the saddle, the leather whip, the leather armor ......, all cut into pieces, and swallowed them raw, because these things were too rough, seriously hurting the stomach, and from time to time soldiers fell to the ground and died......

In the middle of the night, the figures in the camp swayed, and from time to time there were hungry soldiers with red eyes, carrying their blades around, they were looking for food, as for the food...... Walking on two legs, holding a blade in his hand, the weak eat the strong, it depends on who eats whom, hunger is at its peak, human flesh is also a good thing!

In a desperate situation, military discipline is also gone, fights and brawls occur from time to time, soldiers do not hesitate to draw their swords in order to compete for a mouthful of food, and even there is a fight for a bone, dozens of dead and injured people, the prestige of the general colonel is also plummeting, disobedience to military orders abounds, deserters also appear!

It's no wonder that the soldiers of Yuan Jun are not strong-willed, on the one hand, the taste of starvation is too uncomfortable, everyone came out to be a soldier, just to eat a full meal, and now they can't even eat, and they have to worry about becoming other people's food, how can they survive such a day?

On the other hand, the other party's tricks are too lacking in morality, every time it is time to eat, the smell of food wafts from the enemy's side, under the ravages of hunger, Yuan Jun's sense of smell is also very sensitive, they rely on the smell to know that the other party eats steamed buns, or gnaws buns, and even smells what kind of stuffing......

"Open the rice, today I will eat pork stuffed buns, and there is broth to drink, and ...... with refined salt and spices."

"Eat meat buns every day, my brother is a little tired, let the Huotou Army change its tricks tomorrow, how about our flatbread and meat?"

It's not a piece of noodles, plus a piece of meat, nothing new, the governor of the capital has issued an order, tonight to reward the three armies, roast the whole sheep, and drink wine......"

"Roar! …… Roar! …… Throw the meat and bones,...... And then! ”

……………………………………………

Every time the meal is served, the surrounding hills will knock on the rice bowl, making all kinds of shouts, and some naughty soldiers will throw down a few half-gnawed meat bones, and let Yuan Jun snatch each other, like a group of vicious dogs......

Hungry, hungry, food current, no matter how strong a person will succumb, every night, there are Yuan soldiers leaving their posts, quietly touching the surrounding hillside, rest assured, they are not going to sneak attack, but to surrender, being a prisoner is a hundred times stronger than being a starving ghost!

Three or five people in groups, seven or eight in a group, every night there are Yuan soldiers escaped, and finally developed to one night to escape a thousand people, the generals can not stop, and dare not stop, hungry and red-eyed soldiers are carrying blades, blocking them to forage for food, isn't that self-defeating, what's more, some captains can't stand the hunger, and also join the ranks of escape......

………………………………………………………………

Hold on to the twenty-fifth day, Yuan Shang was also completely desperate, most of the soldiers under his command fled, and the rest were also half-dead, with no combat effectiveness, there was nothing to eat, and even his mount was eaten up by a group of hungry soldiers, and he relied on eating 'black meat' to survive these days......

'Dark meat'...... It's a synonym for human flesh, because it's meat from the night, it's disgusting to think about, I'm hungry to the extreme, and it tastes as sweet!

"Mr. Yuantu, it's really not good, let's make peace with Xiao Lang, as long as I am allowed to wait for a way out, everything is easy to discuss!"

Yuan Shang cursed his little face, and his words were more tactful, 'Discuss peace'...... In fact, it means surrender, and now, he can give up whatever is the king and hegemony, the land and the city, as long as he can return to Hebei safely, it is okay to give Xiao Yi three bows and nine knocks!

"There are only commanders who died in battle, there are no generals who surrendered, the third prince can't fall into the prestige of the Yuan family, when times of trouble, his subordinates are willing to help the prince kill himself!"

Feng Ji's eyes were blood-red, clenching the sword in his hand, he had already thought about it, he would rather die than be humiliated, and at the last moment he would kill Yuan Shang, and then commit suicide, at least he would have a strong reputation, and it was much better than becoming a prisoner and surrendering to the enemy!

"Mr. Yuantu, I don't want to ...... yet" Yuan Shang's mouth cracked, and when he was about to cry loudly, war drums suddenly sounded outside the camp......

"Boom! Boom! …… Boom! Boom! ”

The war drums were like thunder, from far to near, clearly reaching everyone's ears, Yuan Shang shook his head, and after confirming that it was not a hallucination of hunger, he suddenly jumped up, no mistake, this rhythm is definitely Hebei soldiers and horses, in other words...... "Wen Chou's reinforcements have arrived!" ”
