Chapter 101 Closing the Net Five
The food supply of the rogues was even more scarce, and sometimes it was even difficult to eat hot food for a day, and many of them fell to the ground as they walked, never to get up again.
Seeing that the fighting power of the Liukou had become weak, and all the livestock and horses in the Liukou had been slaughtered, Zhang Pan's attacks became more unscrupulous.
More than 100 officers and soldiers dared to launch an attack on the rogue in broad daylight. Suddenly emerged from the mountain or the hidden soldier cave on the side of the road, a burst of crossbow grenades, quickly turned dozens or hundreds of rogues, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
The rogues hated the raid of the official army, but they were helpless. In the face of well-equipped and physically energetic officers and soldiers, the frail and tired rogues had no choice but to be beaten passively.
After more than ten days of harassment and attacks, the blood of the rogues was about to be drained, and the entire rogue team became weak and demoralized.
"How many days are left to get to Lianshui?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.
After withdrawing from Wuchang City, in just a few days, Zhang Xianzhong had a scruffy beard, a haggard face, a dark and yellow face, and deep-set eye circles, looking like an old teenager.
The officers and soldiers are too hateful. Since the withdrawal of the army, Zhang Xianzhong has not had a good night's sleep. These damn officers and soldiers attack the camp every night. Don't the officers and soldiers want to sleep?
"If it's normal...... You will be able to reach Zhuanshui the day after tomorrow. But ......" Xu Yixian hesitated, and said for a while: "The army has been short of food for two days, the soldiers are exhausted, and the attacks of the officers and soldiers are more frequent......"
Xu Yixian wanted to speak and stopped. The implication is that even if you reach the edge of the water safely, it is still unknown whether you can successfully get through the water. The water is no better than the narrow Siqi River, and both the width and depth of the river are not an order of magnitude with the Sichao River.
Liukou can tear down houses and build sampans to force the Sixia River to cross, but they may not be able to force the fast-flowing water in the same way.
Besides, will the officers and soldiers who follow closely behind miss the opportunity to attack halfway? From the use of soldiers by several generals under Zhu Shunming, it can be seen that this infamous Zhu Shunming is a hidden evil tiger.
Will Zhu Shunming let go of the opportunity to make such a great achievement?
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Zhang Xianzhong still did not discouraged and said: "If you want Lao Tzu to crisscross the Central Plains for thousands of miles, he will definitely not fold in the land of Huguang." Even if we fly, we have to fly over. β
Without a bit of perseverance and perseverance, Zhang Xianzhong could not have been defeated repeatedly, and after experiencing a lot of waves and sands, he became one of the two surviving rogue teams.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The officers and soldiers did not harass the camp again, and the Liukou arrived safely in Daoqiao Town, on the edge of the water.
Without the attack of the official army, Zhang Xianzhong was even more worried. Before the Liukou crossed the Sichao River, the officers and troops also stopped attacking and harassing them, but took the lead in crossing the river, laying an ambush on the other side of the river, and attacking the Liukou halfway crossing.
Can you really survive the water? Although Zhang Xianzhong said with confidence in his mouth, he was also inexplicably weak in his heart.
After resting for a night in Daoqiao Town, Zhang Xianzhong was about to let the rogues also tear down the house and take the beams to build a sampan, when he suddenly heard a painful cry from the riverside rogues: "Boat, the ship of the officers and soldiers ......"
On the wide river, the warships of the officers and soldiers were lined up, the muzzles of the black holes were facing the Liukou, and the big banner with the word "Shi" on the flagship was hunting in the wind.
"No ......" Zhang Xianzhong lowered his head in pain, his heart continued to sink, as cold as the ice edge of December.
Zhang Xianzhong witnessed the violent combat effectiveness of the officers and navy. This sailor was lying across the river, and with the rudimentary tools for crossing the river, it was impossible for the Liukou to cross the Zhuanshui River.
Could it be that you are naΓ―ve and want to kill me? No, the sky is dead, I am the sky, I want to do the right thing for the sky, and I, Zhang Xianzhong, will not die here.
Zhang Xianzhong plucked up his courage and shouted: "Brothers, the emperor is mediocre, the court is corrupt, we ordinary people have no food, in order to survive, we have to pick up the guy and fuck him." Whoever dares to block our way to survive, we will fight with him. β
"Now the officers and soldiers are chasing after them, and the officers and soldiers in front of them are crossing the river, cutting off the way for us to cross the river to survive. What to do? β
"Ever since we got down this road, we've had our heads pinned to the waistband of our trousers. Now that there are chasing soldiers and interceptions in front of them, we can only pick up the guys in our hands and fight with the dog officers and soldiers. Killing one is enough, killing two and we'll earn one. β
"Brothers, kill, kill, kill, kill all the corrupt officials and eagle dogs in the world, kill all the profiteers and landlords in the world, and kill the poor in the world......"
"Kill, kill, kill, kill ......"
The rogues who were cornered burst out with great morale and will to fight. Anyway, it's a death, it's better to have a vigorous battle. The trapped beasts are ready for a fierce battle.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
An atmosphere of slaughter enveloped Daoqiao Town, a small town by the water.
The desperate rogues plan to fight to the death, trapping the beast and fighting. They ate the last bit of food, cleaned up their appearance, recalled their short lives, recalled their unforgettable relatives and loved ones, and were ready to die at any time.
On the first day, the officers and sailors on the river did not open artillery, nor did they intend to land and attack. The officers and soldiers who had been attacking the rebels behind him did not appear, as if they had never appeared.
Liukou felt like he had eaten a smile and was hiding in the wild grass to plan to ** Miss Guan. The official lady never came, and Liukou's hard nerves were tense and painful, and her nerves were excited and her body gradually weakened.
The next day, the atmosphere in the town of Shimbashi became a little strange. After the initial decision, the determination of the rogues who were not very resolute in seeking death began to waver.
If you can not die, who wants to die without knowing it? It wasn't for the sake of survival that he embarked on the road of rebellion. As long as you can survive, what about the surrender of the government? It's just that I don't know if this Zhu Shunming will be surrendered?
With one breath, the rogues can also fight with the officials and soldiers. Now that they are being left aside by the officials and soldiers, the morale of the rogue is gradually dissipating. There is no food supply in the Rogue army. The hungry rogues try to fish in the Lianshui River. The officers and troops on the river did not open fire or interfere.
Seeing that the officials and soldiers did not make a move, more rogues entered the Zhuanshui River and used various means to catch river fish in the river to satisfy their hunger, and even Zhang Xianzhong's personal soldiers joined the fishing ranks.
A watery rogue, secretly left the brigade and swam towards the official and military ships in the center of the river.
"Ergouzi, what are you going to do? Don't want to die? The townsman behind him shouted.
The second dog turned a deaf ear and continued to swim forward.
Staying in the ranks of the Rogues is a dead end. Looking at the behavior of the officers and sailors, it doesn't look like they want to kill all the rogues. The surrendered officers and soldiers may be able to save a small life.
The rogues on the shore all stopped what they were doing and watched the two dogs' every move. The second dog represents the hearts of a large part of the rogue people.
In order to survive, the Rogues will join the Rogue team. The life of the low-level rogues is not necessarily better than their previous life, and not every rogues like the life of licking blood from the knife edge.
Now that the rogue team is in a desperate situation, perhaps surrendering the officers and soldiers is also a way to survive. The actions of the two dogs are actually the embodiment of the common will of more low-level rogues. If the officers and soldiers are allowed to surrender......
