"If you want to break through, you must have a vanguard force that maintains combat effectiveness." Yao Pingzhong said in a deep voice.

The generals all looked at him, and some people could already hear something from his words. Now the troops in the mountains in their early 30,000s, from officers to soldiers, are so hungry that their chests are close to their backs, and they have no combat power to speak of. So, where does the combat power come from? It's in those big iron pots!

"Xianggong, if these things are distributed to every soldier's mouth, I'm afraid it will be just a tablespoon, and it will only be a life, and it won't last for half a day. I suggest that you choose a soldier who is skilled in martial arts and is not afraid of death, so that he can be fed and break through as a vanguard! The veteran who had been with the Yao clan for a long time said.

This suggestion was immediately endorsed by everyone, because only in this way can there be a silver lining! If you are full, go to the front and fight hard! Desperate! If you don't eat it, you will follow behind to break through, and at this time, you can live one by one! You have to leave some seeds for the Western Army!

"My pro-army is victorious, and there are more than 800 people left, all of whom are good soldiers, and they can be counted. Other than that, what else do you suggest? The little lieutenant showed unusual excitement at this time, his eyes were blazing, and the fatigue on his face was swept away!

"The soldiers are brutal, still brave, and can be pioneers! It's just that all the leather armor that the soldiers are accustomed to has been boiled in the pot, so the iron armor equipped by the archers can be given to them! ”

"If you want to open a bloody road, Tiger Guard is indispensable!"

At the next time, two thousand elite soldiers were selected, and no matter how much they were, there would be no more food. Rather than everyone not having enough to eat, let these two thousand people be fed! A few dozen miles to the south, there is Hushuai's defense area Fangzhou. As long as we can rush out and reach the boundary of Fangzhou, we can survive!

Without further ado, a moment will be fought, and Yao Pingzhong and a group of generals will immediately gather these two thousand elite troops in one place. At this time, the soldiers didn't know what was going on, and they only saw the commanders gathering to discuss with the prime minister, and it was possible that they were going to break through again. However, they didn't have much hope in their hearts, because since they were besieged in Wuma Mountain, they had done more than a dozen breakout operations, large and small, and each time they were killed by the Jin army.

The blazing fire licked the bottom of the pot, the leather was already boiled, although there was no salt and no taste, and there was no condiment, but at this juncture, there was something to wrap in the belly, in the eyes of the soldiers, it was already a delicacy!

"Xianggong, Zhang Jun is in the north, what should they do?" Aribu General asked.

A flash of anger flashed on Yao Pingzhong's face, and if he said something from the bottom of his heart, if he had enough authority, he would not hesitate to deal with Zhang Jun strictly. It's a pity that although the troops attacking Yanzhou this time were commanded by him, Zhang Jun was a subordinate of Xu Yuan on the North Road after all.

"It's still the robe of the Western Army after all." The veteran reminded in a whisper.

"Let's go and inform Zhang Jun, and say that my Xihe soldiers are determined to break through tonight, let them follow." Yao Xiyan said in a deep voice. At present, the plan has been decided, and each general will act separately to arrange the breakout.

Yao Pingzhong stood on a bulging boulder, facing the two thousand elite soldiers gathered here. When he spoke, more than 4,000 pairs of eyes moved away from the marching cauldron.

"Brethren! A battle broke out more than ten miles away, attracting the main force of the Jin army, and it is believed that this is a friendly army coming to the rescue! Our army must seize this opportunity and break through in one fell swoop! Now that the situation is difficult, I know that the brothers are so hungry that they don't even have the strength to hold on to their weapons! In front of you, there is the last life-saving food in the army! In order to let the whole army break through the siege and bring the brothers back to Xihe, more than 2,000 of you will be the vanguard of the whole army and take on the task of the main attack! Therefore the food is yours! ”

When more than 2,000 Han elite soldiers heard the news, they all ejaculated with ejaculation! Now, the temptation of food to them surpasses all else!

"But I'm going to get to the point. These meals were given to you by all the brothers in the army! Eat it, and you must fight hard! I hope you will know in your hearts that the other brothers are already hungry and have no strength to fight a bloody road, and it is up to you to do so! You are the hope of the whole army! I, Yao Pingzhong, will not cower behind, I will open the way with you! Tonight, the life and death of tens of thousands of brothers will be decided! Please, Pingzhong! Yao Pingzhong said, clasped his hands into fists, and bowed!

There was silence in the valley for a moment, and after a moment a soldier cried out: "Brothers, if you have a full meal, don't give up your life!" Not alive anymore! ”

"Not alive!" The crowd suddenly erupted in a disgusting howl!

Yao Pingzhong gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Eat!" ”

At the command, more than 2,000 soldiers swarmed forward! There were no bowls, no chopsticks, and they moved the cauldron away from the stove regardless of the burns! In order to let the food cool down as soon as possible, the soldiers directly took the barrels of their guns and knives and stirred them in the pot. Countless pairs of greedy eyes stared directly at the leather and wild vegetable paste in the pot, and if you could still see a few oil flowers, thank goodness, this is a slap!

Can't wait! Many soldiers didn't care about the heat, so they directly fished it out of the pot with their hands, and then desperately stuffed it into their mouths! They don't even bother to chew it, and they even swallow the belt batter! It's been a long time since I've had this feeling of being overwhelmed!

The old general brought a bowl and handed it to Yao Pingzhong, and horse hair could still be seen on it. The little lieutenant grabbed it and opened his big mouth to eat and drink! When the leather is boiled, the taste is similar to that of powder, but it has no taste. In this case, who can care about whether it is refreshing or not, and can deceive the stomach!

"Why don't you eat it?" After eating up a bowl of food the size of a basin, Yao Pingzhong found that the old general was still standing in front of him.

"If you are over sixty years old and have little strength, let's follow behind." The old general said softly, he no longer had the strength to speak loudly.

"No! You have followed my grandfather, my father for decades, and fought on the battlefield, and you have achieved great success. I must bring you back, or else how will my father answer when he asks him? I command you, eat! Yao Pingzhong said resolutely.

The veteran's eyes glistened with tears, and his lips moved several times without speaking. After a while, he finally obeyed the order.

The sound of eating and eating in the valley was loud, and man, as a civilized animal, did not disdain to act like a jackal taking prey. But at this moment, they are a pack of beasts!

A large bowl of food was in his stomach, and the little lieutenant only felt that his body was warm, and his strength gradually returned. He grabbed the phoenix-beaked knife and tried the edge again, but it felt too sharp, so he sharpened it with a stone again. The Jin army is full of obstacles such as antlers and horses at the mouth of the valley, and they are fighting tonight, so they will definitely be more careful to guard against it. Therefore, in this battle, there is no ingenuity at all, just fight! Who is not afraid of death! Fight whoever doesn't want to die!

Seeing their comrades snatching food, the other soldiers did not blush at all, they hoped that these brothers would eat more and increase their strength, because the hope of the whole army was on them!

It didn't take half a flower to work, and all the marching pots were licked and shiny. The guy dares to guarantee that if this pot is washed, the water in the pot will be as clear as a person.

Yao Pingzhong put on armor, tied his waist with a cloth belt, stood in front of the army with a phoenix mouth knife, and said loudly: "Armor!" ”

Soldiers who had not been able to eat laboriously put on their armor for their comrades. The Buren Armor is composed of 1,825 nail leaves and weighs more than 50 catties. It was the most protective armor in the world. Wearing it means you can't run fast. The more than 2,000 elite soldiers know this very well, their task is to open the road and break the back, and they don't have to run, because their chances of survival are quite slim.

"Check the instruments!"

The soldiers skillfully scraped the edges, felt the tips of their guns, and shook their long poles to make sure that their weapons were undamaged. Because of the retreat of Dunzhou, many soldiers discarded their armor and weapons, so what they are using now is not necessarily their own equipment.

Everything was ready, and it was supposed that this life-and-death battle was about to break out, and they should be a little nervous. But up to Yao Pingzhong and down to ordinary soldiers, no one panicked. They were in a desperate situation, knowing that they were going to die, and now they had a glimmer of life, and in their opinion, they had earned it. Left and right is a death, it's better to fight, why be afraid?

Yao Pingzhong turned around, raised the phoenix mouth knife in his hand high, and then swung forward suddenly! More than 2,000 mourning soldiers stepped out of the attack!

He guessed correctly, although the Jin army focused its main force on dealing with the Hu'er army, it still left five thousand troops at the exit in the southeast direction of Shima Mountain. Coupled with the antlers and horses that are all over the mountain pass, Yao Pingzhong wants to rush out, and he has to shed his skin if he doesn't die!

Under the cover of night, Yao Xiyan led more than 2,000 dead soldiers to quietly touch the mountain pass. Visibility was low, and they could only vaguely see the various obstacles blocking their way.

"Up!"

One hundred and ten soldiers stepped forward with their waists, and a long and long rejecting horse blocked the way, and several soldiers raised their heads to resist the horse and quietly moved away, and there were several antlers in front of them, and they did the same, and they didn't even care whether there were bells and other things tied to it.

The others followed closely, ready to fight! At this moment, there was a sudden shouting sound from the opposite side, which was obviously not Chinese. Then, the loud sound of the horn rose into the sky, and the Jin army found them!

"Demolition! Move fast! Yao Pingzhong roared!

The dead soldiers didn't care so much, and rushed up to dismantle the obstacles desperately! The sound of breaking the sky suddenly sounded, and the Jin army on duty on the periphery began to shoot indiscriminately! Soldiers brave arrows and quickly dismantle all kinds of obstacles! Yao Pingzhong found that before the sound of the horn fell, the sporadic firelight had already come into view, and the Jin army that had rushed from the camp to reinforce had set off!

If they don't break down a passage before enemy reinforcements arrive, all of them here could die from the arrows! But at this time, the dead soldiers who had put life and death on the line completely ignored the sharp arrows that were whizzing overhead, and buried their heads in removing the antlers and rejecting the horses! When he was hit by an arrow, he broke it with his hand, and then continued to work. Even if you are injured many times, as long as you can still move, you will never stop!

The fire dragon was getting closer and closer, and the hurried footsteps could already be heard clearly!

A rejection horse was in front of Yao Pingzhong, this was the last obstacle between him and the enemy, and not far away, a crowded figure was the Jin army shot by random arrows! The little lieutenant was furious, and he used the phoenix mouth knife in his hand to pick up the rejection horse and put it aside. Roar: "Brethren! Follow me! After finishing speaking, he took the lead and rushed over!

He ran extremely fast, and in the darkness, the golden soldier who was shooting with his bow suddenly saw a black shadow crashing towards him, and many people immediately pointed the arrow at him! But a few arrows were released, and the black shadow still didn't stop at all, and rushed in front of them quickly!

"Die!" When they heard this word and felt a strong wind blowing in their faces, the golden soldiers didn't even have time to dodge.

The screams sounded so harsh in the night! Yao Pingzhong's knife swept down three enemies! He didn't have time to think about it, and he didn't have time to break the arrow shaft on his body, and the phoenix mouth knife in his hand slashed horizontally and vertically with a thousand strengths! The soldiers who caught up did not call or shout to kill, and the weapons in their hands greeted them mercilessly!

Jin Jun really didn't expect that he was already a turtle in an urn, and the remnants of the army who were waiting to be killed were suddenly so brave! I was caught off guard by a moment and retreated! Exit, open immediately!

"Let's go!" The officer who followed the dead saw that the opportunity had come, and shouted with the last strength of his body.

The ** of survival has been replaced by the power of "returning to the light", and the Xihe soldiers who are already so hungry that they are staggering when they walk are actually running forward! Under the protection of two thousand dead soldiers, take a step and rush south like a moth to a flame!

Helplessly, the exit is not big, but there are too many soldiers, just ran out of a maximum of a few hundred people, and the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived!

Yao Pingzhong spread the word to all directions: "Spread out!" Push forward! Block the Golden Dog back! ”

As soon as the military order was given, 800 people from his sister-in-law's Shengjie army quickly approached. Line up in a dense formation and desperately strangle the enemy with a broadsword and axe! Subsequently, the Xihe soldiers, who were known for their brutal temperament and brave battles, blocked up! Their innate toughness and ability to survive in a difficult environment make them the bravest and most tenacious warriors in the world! But they are not only brave, but also have been trained by years of conquest and tactical literacy. More than a dozen people are in a team, relying on each other, holding various long and short weapons to form a perfect offensive system.

They have obviously undergone good training and long-term actual combat, and they cooperate with each other very tacitly. Shield-wielding soldiers slashed left and right on the perimeter, causing their spear-wielders to thrust at a rapid pace! The Jin army on duty couldn't resist and broke up for a while. Fortunately, the reinforcements immediately blocked up.

Although it has been repeatedly explained from above, it is possible that the remnants of the mountain army will use it to break through tonight. But these Jin soldiers who stayed in the camp were still unbelievable. Because they had fought with Xihe soldiers several times before, they had the impression that the opponent's offensive was not as good as one time. Under the situation of lack of food and clothing, the combat effectiveness of the other side is being sharply reduced. Later, it even developed to the point that it only took a few hundred soldiers to block the exit to repel a breakout of the opponent.

But now, the reinforcements that came up saw an enemy army "begging for death"! That's right, it's to die! Didn't you see it, there were two arrows stuck in his body, his left shoulder was slashed, and an arm with only a little flesh was crumbling on his shoulder. But the soldier was still howling and rushing to kill! He fell to the ground when several scimitars had slashed through him...... The Jin army started from the mountains and forests, and had the usual fierceness and bloody nature of the "barbarians", and they were not afraid of death. However, they do not have the determination to "seek death"!

In the face of this group of beast-like enemies, the soldiers of the Jin Army were also a little frightened!

Yao Pingzhong was already red-eyed, and the big knife in his hand didn't know how many people had been cut down. He didn't seem to want to go back alive, and desperately rushed forward, even if he was protected by the soldiers of his Shengjie army, it was dangerous several times!

When the soldiers beside him fell one after another, and in the end, when he looked around and was the only one left, the little lieutenant still did not have the slightest fear. He looked forward to death, to a glorious death! In the future, there will inevitably be a note in the history books, saying that although Yao Pingzhong was defeated in Dunzhou, at the last moment, he personally led the dead soldiers to open a bloody run for the army, and he himself also died in this battle. As long as there is such a sentence, it is enough, from the soldiers who are conscripted, what do they ask for?

Dense enemy soldiers flocked to him, and this burly and brave general with a big sword attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Jin army. However, no one could get close to him, and the big knife in his hand was like a practice, and he was invincible!

Suddenly, he tripped over the barrel of an enemy gun under his feet, and his tall body fell! Almost at the same time, several spears stabbed him! Yao Xiyan reacted quickly, rolled on the spot, and waved the big knife in his hand in the air, forcing back the enemy who pressed up. Crawling up, another headless chop!

The Jurchens, who are known for their bravery and good at fighting, can only make leaps and triads on the periphery, and no one seems to be his opponent!

The bloody battle ahead was in full swing, and more than 2,000 dead soldiers were making the final struggle with the mentality of burning jade. Behind them, the comrades who rushed out gritted their teeth and fled for their lives with the last remaining strength in their bodies!

Although there was a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, and the dead soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, they still blocked the reinforcements of the Jin army after all, and won time for their comrades to escape!

Yao Pingzhong is crazy! He was alone in the midst of hundreds of enemy troops! What is shocking is that he seems to be an axis, and the hundreds of gold troops surrounding him are revolving around him! As soon as he advances, the enemy retreats, and as soon as he retreats, the enemy pushes again!

A small team of men and horses desperately broke through the encirclement, led by a veteran. While brandishing his mace, he roared, "Xi Yan! Come on! ”

Yao Pingzhong was already confused, and he couldn't hear him at all!

"The three armies cannot be without commanders! Rush up and rescue Xianggong! The veteran was covered in blood, he was past the prime of life, and the mace in his hand was already making him feel tired. But he still rushed into the enemy's encirclement without hesitation, shouting Yao Pingzhong's words over and over again.

The two soldiers retreated from the siege, rushed forward and grabbed Yao Pingzhong, shouting: "Xianggong! The enemy army is strong, you go quickly! ”

Yao Pingzhong didn't have time to answer, and the Jin soldiers swarmed up again! He gritted his teeth and broke away from the soldier, and pounced again with his broadsword! The soldiers forced the enemy away again, and tried to capture him, who knew that this moment, both of them were suddenly attacked and died heroically!
