Really determined, the old camp of the Tianxiong Army. [.Lots of good]

The snow was still falling, and the thin cotton clothes were blown by the cold wind, and the cold atmosphere of the winter festival seemed to be about to penetrate into the bones.

It had been four days since he had eaten hot food, and Tang Wenxing only felt that there were bursts of acid water in his stomach gushing up his throat, and there seemed to be a knife stirring in his stomach, and the pain was unbearable.

The cold and hunger made his whole body seem to be numb, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't think of anything.

Beside them, the soldiers huddled in front of the fire wrapped in their clothes, stretched their hands high, and greedily absorbed the heat from the fire with their palms.

No one spoke, and the lips of the thirty horsemen who came with him were constantly moving. Suddenly, someone "wow" and spit a mouthful of green liquid on the snow. If you look closely, there are grass roots, wheat seedlings, and indescribable things. As long as something is stuffed into the mouth, the hunger in the stomach seems to be weakened by three points.

"I'm so hungry, Brother Tang, it's really not possible, let's dig out the war horses buried in the ground and eat them, right?" A cavalryman finally couldn't help but ask weakly: "If we continue like this, let alone fight, we ourselves will be frozen to death and starved to death first." I remember that during the night raid and the first battle, we killed a lot of injured horses, that meat, the thief is so fragrant! Also, the child surnamed Yu under General Sun has really good craftsmanship. That is, ordinary barbecue, after his hand, his mother's is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrance is so fragrant that people can't stand it. ”

"Yu Xiang?"

"Yes, yes, that's him. That kid couldn't fight a war, his cooking skills were really amazing, and even General Sun said that since Yu Xiang became his guard, he had grown ten pounds in a year. ”

"Huh." The cavalrymen laughed quietly, and laughed weakly. Thinking of the delicious taste of horse meat again, my throat made a gurgling sound.

"Don't eat, don't eat." A cavalryman was full of tears: "Who the hell dares to eat my horse, Lao Tzu will go in with him with a white knife, and a red knife will come out!" That horse has been with me for two years, and is already my closest relative, and now that he is dead, he has to be buried in the earth. ”

The man who proposed to eat the horse's meat was very dissatisfied: "Is the horse expensive, besides, your horse is dead, just to wrap its belly." Could it be that the living are still suffocated to death by urine? Even if we don't eat it, it is estimated that the rest of the Tianxiong Army would have dug up the horse corpse and killed it

。 Rather than cheapen them, it is better to hold on to our brothers first. ”

"You're still not a human, eat war horses, you just eat me." The soldier jumped up crying, but he was so hungry that he shook his body and was about to fall to the ground.

Tang Wenxing helped him up and muttered, "Yes, yes, we can't eat our own brothers...... As for the rest of the Tianxiong Army to eat, we should not have seen it, we did not see it......" He said, and tears welled up in his eyes. [.Lots of good]

After traveling on the road for many days, there was no horse material, and the war horses all relied on eating green, and finally there was a dead horse. The sixty warhorses that he and his brothers brought to the Tianxiong Army still have about forty left. Even these forty or so war horses have lost weight badly.

War horses are the closest comrades-in-arms of the cavalry, and according to the rules of the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army, after the war horses die, they must be buried on the ground. Then sprinkle a handful of grain on the grave to give the brother one last time.

The cavalryman cried in Tang Wenxing's arms: "General Tang, Brother Tang, how did this battle come to this." When we were in the Ningxiang Army, when we were with General Sun, when did we suffer so much? General, I want to go home, I want to go back to the Ningxiang Army. ”

"Yes, Brother Tang, we're all homesick."

Tang Wenxing's face was blank, and he shouted angrily: "Bastard thing, aren't you just hungry for a few days, you can't stand it, you are still the man of the Ningxiang Army, and you are still the cavalry of the world's first iron army?" This time, we have been ordered by General Sun to come and support the brothers of the Tianxiong Army. Now that you haven't fought a battle, but you want to go back, isn't this a deserter? Hehe, where are you who used to be in front of the spearmen and musketeers, aren't you the elite of the elite of the Ningxiang Army, look at you now, the elite of the? ”

Hearing his scolding, everyone bowed their heads in shame.

Tang Wenxing was about to be physically exhausted, scolded this call, couldn't help but gasp for a while, softened his tone, and said: "Brothers, you have to believe in the Governor, he will definitely have a way." ”

"Yes, yes."

"Inspector Lu will definitely find food." The cavalry all nodded their heads again and again, as if they believed Tang Wenxing's words, perhaps, they were willing to believe it.

Tang Wenxing sighed in his heart unknowingly, but he knew in his heart that there was no longer any possibility to solve the food problem in the short term.

Now Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang are in a state of flux, and they have lost the trust of the emperor and have completely lost power

。 Not only that, but Gao Qiqian's side didn't buy Inspector Lu's account at all.

Most of the people in the world are people who tend to be inflammatory, and the people in the officialdom have or are afraid of Yang Sichang's power, and they are worried that after helping Lu Xiangsheng, they will be retaliated against by Yang Gelao, but they dare not put a grain of grain to the Tianxiong army.

The last time he was in Baoding, Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, did not lend food to Lu Xiangsheng. Seeing that Inspector Lu was pressing, he pushed the responsibility to Qingyuan County.

Zuozhi County of Qingyuan County was even more simply, and directly came to a delaying tactic, refusing to meet Lu Xiangsheng alive or dead.

Anyway, your Tianxiong Army has a combat mission, and it is impossible for you to stay in Baoding forever.

Lu Xiangsheng was fruitless for a long time, and there was no way, so he had to take the army to relieve the siege of Zhending. At this time, Zhending has been surrounded by the Jiannu army, and the army of high dives has already been drawn to the battlefield of Zhending in one step. Of course, at this time, Gao Qiqian had already broken his courage by Jiannu, and only stationed the army far away from the Qing army a hundred miles away. I have to say that the Guanning army is too rich, and after the old camp in Tongzhou was lost, their baggage supplies were replenished in a very short time.

So, Lu Xiangsheng asked Yang Yanlin to go to Zhending to raise the diving army to transfer food.

But he didn't want to, Eunuch Gao first cried that he was poor, anyway, he said: "If you want food, you can't live or die." "He was whipped by Yang Yanlin at the beginning, but now that they are enemies, they are very red-eyed, how can they kill him and Lu Xiangsheng.

What kind of character is Yang Yanlin, the benchmark in the clear stream. After arriving at Gao Qiqian's old camp, he didn't leave, and he kept scolding inside all day long, which made Gao Gonggong very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the Qing army saw that the long-term attack was really fruitless, and they were too lazy to gnaw on this hard bone, and the army continued to move south, invading Shunde and Guangpingfu. During this period, the Qing soldiers were not equipped with a large number of artillery, and they did not have the experience of attacking fortifications. Besides, they went south this time to rob property, not to chase the world. Is it going to be hard to fight? We don't have to work hard, just change places and get rich.

Seeing this situation, Gao Qiqian, who was being tossed by Yang Yanlin and was on the verge of breaking out, took this opportunity to say that he was going to lead troops to pursue Jiannu, and the military situation could not be delayed, no matter how late it was, if he lost the city and land again, you would be responsible for Lord Yang? At that moment, Yang Yanlin was left in Zhending, and tens of thousands of troops only walked in one day.

After Gao Qiqian didn't get any food here, Director Yang couldn't help it.

After the Tianxiong army was drawn from Baoding to Zhending, the military rations allocated by Sun Yuan to Lu Xiangsheng had been eaten up halfway

。 Now there is no replenishment here in Gao Qidive, and it has suddenly reached the point of exhaustion.

There are no high butchers, and they still eat hairy pigs?

According to Lu Xiangsheng's idea, Gao Qiqian doesn't give food and doesn't matter, so it's a big deal to borrow a little from Zhending Mansion. It must be a big city, and it shouldn't be a problem to solve the problem of feeding the thousands of heavenly soldiers.

But even more infuriating things happen.

The governor of Zhending saw that the court and the outside worked together to squeeze out Lu Xiangsheng, and he was afraid that he would offend Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian because of the grain released to Governor Lu. offended Yang Gelao, a hot celebrity in front of today's son, is his official still inappropriate? It's okay to offend Yang Ge Lao, but if you offend Gao Gonggong, you will have big trouble in the future.

Therefore, the governor of Zhending was also bad, so he simply closed the city gates, only saying that now there are slaves everywhere, and it is necessary to prevent the enemy's spies from entering the city, so it is inconvenient for him to come out to meet Governor Lu. As for the grain, the governor of Zhending refused to give a single grain.

And in front of Lu Xiangsheng, he vomited bitterness, saying that Jiannu besieged the city, and it can be said that the entire Zhending people poured into the city to take refuge. Now, the food in the city has long been eaten, even the bark of the trees has been stripped by the hungry, and the next step is cannibalism.

Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng was furious: I was shocked to hear that it had only been ten days since the slaves were besieged, so why did people cannibalize each other?

Immediately, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said, "If the governor doesn't borrow food, he can only report to the military department." The army has been without food for many days, and if it continues like this, how will the troops still fight? If you lose this battle, you will not be able to escape the blame. ”

Only then did the governor of Zhending promise to give Lu Xiangsheng a day's food, and Lu Xiangsheng's anger calmed down a little.

But worse things were still to come, and although the governor of Zhending promised to give food, he converted it into a silver dual-purpose hanging basket and put it down from the city, and let the Tianxiong army go to the market to buy it himself.

But at this time, the area north of the Yellow River had been burned to the ground by the war, and even if there was silver, there was nowhere to buy grain.

When a sergeant of the Tianxiong Army couldn't bear the hunger and went out to rob the people to save food, Lu Xiangsheng knew about it and immediately corrected it to enforce military discipline. Although he was ostracized in the officialdom, the people still supported him very much. Lu Xiangsheng camped in the Sangong wilderness. The fathers and elders of the three counties of Jinan all went to the army to advise: "I hope that the Lord will quickly recruit grain and grass and gather righteous teachers." The children of the three counties deeply feel the virtue of adults, as long as you climb the heights and shout, and the number of people who are wrapped in food can reach 100,000, then the overall situation is still promising

。 ”

Lu Xiangsheng replied with tears: "I have commanded the army for ten years, experienced a hundred battles, and have never tasted defeat. Now there are only half a thousand tired soldiers, the enemy is rushing westward, the reinforcements are separated from the east, everything is contained, and there is no need to work in vain. I can only repay the country with death! ”

When the fathers and elders heard this, they were all moved to tears, and everyone took out a bucket of grain and offered it to him as military food, and an old man took a liter of dates and gave it to him, saying; "This is cooked for adults to nourish their bodies."

……

Thinking of these things, thinking of the hungry soldiers in the army, and Lu Xiangsheng who secretly cried every night, Tang Wenxing couldn't help but feel sad.

He looked up at the hazy snowy sky, and let out a long breath, but he felt that the stuffy breath in his chest couldn't be spit out: what happened to the Ming Dynasty, why is there a post-apocalyptic atmosphere?

"The end times!"

Tang Wenxing was frightened by his terrible thought, you must know that two years ago, as a noble son, he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. In his opinion, the monarchs and ministers in the court were idle, although there were rogues inside and slaves outside, and the Ming Dynasty was repeatedly defeated to the point of being out of control. But all this is just because of the annual famine in the country, and it is the bad luck of the Ming Dynasty.

Once the climate improves, there will only be two good years and the prosperity will come again.

But now, he was stunned to find that all this had nothing to do with luck and calamity. It's the people themselves who have problems, and it's the Ming Dynasty that has rotted inside and out, and it's hard to return.

Tightening the big on his body, Tang Wenxing muttered: "Hungry, really hungry!" ”

A soldier holding a bald red tassel gun in his arms retracted his hands into his sleeves, leaned over, and came over with a wheez: "General Tang, General Tang, the superintendent has an urgent military order to come down, and he ordered the whole army to immediately pack up and immediately go south to pursue Jiannu." ”

"It's finally time to get out of this damn place!" The cavalry all whispered.

"That's right, borrow grain from another place, maybe you can think of some way."

"Please go back to Inspector Lu, that is, the last general will immediately take his subordinates to pack up." Tang Wenxing said, he suddenly sighed in his heart: If it was the same as before, when it came to attacking, the soldiers would pretend to be fierce, and they would all talk about how to kill the enemy. But now, everyone looks weak, and they are talking about where to get food

。 As for how this battle will be fought, not many people care.

It's okay to come to Inspector Lu, so I have no choice but to take it and go south, right?

The arduous march began again, and although there were no dead in the ranks, the horses began to fall one by one.

The cavalry had a deep affection for their war horses, so they naturally cried and then dug a pit and buried it. However, Tang Wenxing and others on the front foot buried the war horse, and the back foot was dug up and eaten by the hungry soldiers of the Tianxiong Army.

At first, the cavalry refused to accept and fought several times with other brothers in the army. But then I was so hungry that I didn't have the strength to fight.

Looking at the thirty brothers who came to the Tianxiong army with him, they were all so thin that their cheekbones were high and their cheekbones were high, and their hair and beards were dirty and long, twisted and knotted, like beggars.

You must know that the cavalry of the Ningxiang Army in the past was so proud and bastard, all of them looked at the sky with their eyes, and their bodies were also cleaned up neatly, and they were fastidious people, with a mink hat on their heads, and a pheasant tail feather on the hat.

Now, their eyes have become dull and numb, and they have become oblivious to everyone. It's the same...... There is no difference with the soldiers who suffered defeat in the border army of the Ming Dynasty.

Is this still the Ningxiang Army, or my cavalry?

Tang Wenxing felt a chill in his heart.

I don't know how many days he walked on the road, during which he didn't know how many serious meals he had eaten, and the war horses were straining, and there was no way to fight. The army finally settled down in a town, and it is said that the army of Jiannu was ahead.

"First stationed here, the problem of food, and then think of a way, and the generals of each army will first restrain the troops." The festival hall was set up in the house of a small squire in the town, and Lu Xiangsheng's black face was thinned again, but his voice was still clear: "This place is called Jiazhuang, and it is said that the two armies of the Jiannu chieftain Dolgon, Duoduo and Abatai have merged, and they must be guarded against sudden killing." However, you don't need to worry, Gao Qiqian has personally led 10,000 Guanning troops to be stationed in Jize County, fifty miles away. Our two armies are exactly the horns of each other, echoing each other. ”

"Jiazhuang!" Tang Wenxing was taken aback, and couldn't help but reach out and touch one of the bags in his arms, then touched it out and took a sneak look.

Huo Ran wrote the word "Jiazhuang" on it, which was Sun Yuan's handwriting.
