The mountains of Yunzhou are vast, and what is suitable is a large-scale army battle, similar to this kind of encirclement and annihilation war, it has been achieved to the extreme, if it were not for the fact that Yan Zonghan has been planning for a long time, and for the sake of Aguzhe's army, thousands of soldiers and horses have been paid, including I don't know how much grain and grass.

Now it is finally surrounded here, but in the direction of the north of Aguzhe, the Jurchens are still a little weak in defense, and Aguzhe's breakthrough is where the mountain range in the north is, and moreover, there is a river over that mountain range, and that is the only way to survive.

The war has come to this point, and I have to say that Agu Zhe has done the greatest limit, and in this time, he has restrained more than 10,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses, and where Yelu Yanxi is located, the troops are already extremely weak.

Yelu Yanxi is located in the cangloukou has almost reached the situation of starvation, tens of thousands of people are facing a severe test of survival, the climate of the Liao, Song and Xia Jin era, originally slightly warmer than the later generations, although it is autumn, but the wildflowers on the mountain are still blooming, the leaves of the trees have not yet fallen, and the fruits on the fruit-bearing plants such as sour dates are still green, but they have long been picked up by the hungry Liao soldiers.

Originally, the grain could only be eaten for half a month, but when it was ten days, Yelu Yanxi ordered that the daily grain and rice eaten in the army be halved.

Yelu Yanxi already had a plan in his heart, if he waited for two more days, and the Jurchens still besieged the mouth of the canglou like this, then in a few days he would not be able to escape the fate of starving to death.

At such a time, Yelu Yanxi, who was forced into a desperate situation, was also angry in his heart, but the Liao army, which was besieged by the Jurchen army and was about to cut off grain and rice, could not fill his stomach every day, and carefully cleaned the grain hoards where grain and rice were stored dozens of times, hoping to collect some scattered grain and rice, and the mountains and forests near the camp had long been looted, and the grass roots and bark had also become food for the Liao soldiers.

From a distance, the trunks of the trees within the Liao army fortress were bare, like a girl who had been stripped naked, swaying in the autumn wind, looking so desolate.

In order to dig up grass roots and other materials, the land inside the camp was dug into potholes, and weapons such as knives, guns, swords, and halberds were also turned into digging tools and discarded on the ground at will.

Occasionally, a rat that was driven out of the rat hole would suddenly make the emotions of the whole battalion of soldiers high-pitched, and the little mouse wondered why human eyes were green? But it knew what the green-eyed men were up to, and a brutal struggle for survival ensued between humans and rats.

The Liao soldiers chased and blocked, stepped on with military boots, and beat with clods of soil, and in the end, the rat still fell into the hands of the Liao soldiers, only to see that the soldier who caught the mouse did not care that the mouse was not biting him, but quickly took out a knife, disemboweled, and skinned the mouse that was still struggling.

The surrounding soldiers looked enviously at the guy who was lucky enough to devour the mouse, and some people subconsciously swallowed their saliva, but they felt even more hungry, but there were also smart people, they found the cave where the mouse ran out, chased all the way down, and finally found a handful of grain and grass seeds in the rat's nest, and several people rushed to devour these things.

In the barracks, in addition to the general-level officers and war horses, the other horses were slaughtered, Yelu Yanxi had strictly ordered that the soldiers were not allowed to slaughter the horses, and several soldiers who slaughtered the horses were also killed by Yelu Yanxi, but with the hopelessness of foreign aid, the role of the war horse was gradually forgotten by the Liao army, the soldiers saw the war horse, the first thing that came to mind was the delicious horse meat, as well as the essence that the war horse needed to be fed, and those essence people could also eat, so the theft of war horses in the camp happened from time to time.

Due to the lack of food, the Liao army has no morale at all, only those sentries are still sticking to their posts in order to survive, the whole camp is lifeless, there is no trace of life, as the days of being besieged are getting longer and longer, there is also a dead corpse-like despair in the Liao army barrier.

Yelu Yanxi's eyes are empty now, and there are only three days of food left, the Jurchens, why are they not moved at all, could it be that Agu Zhe went away with Da Liao and descended the Jurchens?

When Yelu Yanxi thought of this, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, tonight, just tonight, if you want to say that the Jurchen Tartars have not moved, they will kill directly in the direction of Huyungang, and they can't say that they can change their lives.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... Oh no......" One of Yelu Yanxi's guards ran in in a panic, and said with a face like dirt: "Horse...... The horses are gone......"

"Horse, gone? Whose horse is gone? ”

Yelu Yanxi didn't know about the soldiers stealing and killing the war horses, but the soldiers' hungry eyes were green, so he turned a blind eye, but he didn't expect his mount to be stolen and killed, which made him thunderous.

Although the daily military rations in the army are only enough for the soldiers to eat half full, you must know that no matter where you go, you have privileges, such as those generals with a little status, as well as Yelu Yanxi's most loyal more than 2,000 pro-army elites, all of which have not been reduced in the slightest.

At the juncture of life and death, this is inevitably a great injustice for the lowest fighting men, so they began to steal their war horses, kill and eat, but at this time it is the time when the morale of the generals and soldiers in the army is the heaviest, and a bad handling will cause mutiny.

So he didn't dare to ask for the crime, including Yelu Yanxi, but Yelu Yanxi's war horse was slaughtered and cooked by the hungry soldiers last night with a particularly rapid action, and Yelu Yanxi's own soldiers who were in charge of the search only found horse bones and horse skins.

However, Yelu Yanxi's horse is a thousand-mile horse, which is cherished very much on weekdays, and finally personally buried the war horse and buried the horse bones and horses.

What Yelu Yanxi did not expect was that that night, the buried horse bones and horse skins were dug up again, the horse bones were smashed by stones, eaten clean, and the horse skins were gone.

Yelu Yanxi panicked, his morale was like this, he really felt a deep powerlessness, the sky was going to die here?
