Chapter 153: Victorious
But where were the few war horses in the Red Army enough to feed 80,000 people? When all the horses that could be killed in the army were eaten, the people began to gnaw on the wild grass on the ground again, and some of them did not grab the grass stalks, and even used knives to scrape the moss on the stone walls.
Five days later, there was nothing left to eat in the valley, and then the most cruel scene happened: man eats man!
Until now, where in the valley is still like the human world, it is more like the hungry ghost realm in the six realms of reincarnation.
It's not that Xuanyuan Fang didn't control his soldiers, but he couldn't control it at all, and in the face of the most basic needs of human beings, his orders seemed insignificant, and no one listened to him at all.
Under such circumstances, Xuanyuan Fang still survived seven days.
Seven days later, even he was thirsty and hungry and had the urge to eat human flesh and drink human blood, he couldn't hold on any longer, and he couldn't wait for the arrival of reinforcements.
At the end of the first battle, the Red Army still had more than 80,000 people, but after seven days, when all surrendered, there were 10,000 fewer people, some of whom died of disease, some were killed, and some were eaten alive.
When the Jin army received the more than 70,000 surrendered troops, people couldn't tell what kind of mood they felt.
The soldiers of the Red Army, all with thin faces and thin eyes, deep eye sockets, like starving ghosts, saw that the Jin Army had brought food, countless Red soldiers rushed up, grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths, but it was often only after a few mouthfuls that many people fell to the ground with a dry cough after eating a few bites.
As for the wounded in the Red Army, many people did not know how to save them, and the wounds were widely rotting and maggots, and they were already dying, half dead......
At this time, Lin Haotian and a group of military generals had already gathered above the valley. After Xuanyuan Fang ordered him to surrender, Lin Haotian also specially asked people to invite him into his camp.
Said it was please, but in fact it was set up, Xuanyuan Fang had not eaten a drop of water for days, and he was so weak that he couldn't even stand on his feet.
For this defeated general of his own subordinates, Lin Haotian is still very polite. After inviting Xuanyuan Fang to take a seat, he also specially asked people to bring wine and meat.
Xuanyuan Fang wanted to be polite, but he couldn't be polite, he grabbed the piece of meat on the plate and swallowed it in a big gulp, but after only a few bites, he bent down and vomited.
Lin Haotian looked at the generals on the left and right with a wry smile, and everyone was shaking their heads, and now no one looked at Xuanyuan Fang's jokes. I just feel pathetic.
Chu Lianyu stepped forward, kindly supported Xuanyuan Fang, and said, "General Xuanyuan may not have eaten for many days, and it is not appropriate to eat too quickly now, so drink some wine first." β
Xuanyuan Fang was also obedient, picked up the wine glass, grunted, and drank it in one gulp.
A glass of wine goes down to your stomach. His pale face finally regained a touch of blood, and he sat down on the mat and let out a long sigh.
Wait for him to slow down for a while. Lin Hao Tianfang smiled lightly and said, "General Xuanyuan, you have suffered these days. β
Xuanyuan Fang swallowed and foamed, raised his eyes to look at Lin Haotian, and after a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, lowered his head and said, "The general of the defeated army." What a shame to say!"
Lin Haotian nodded and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, I can't help myself, if there is anything that offends General Xuanyuan, I hope General Xuanyuan will not be surprised." β
I didn't expect Lin Haotian to be so polite to him. Xuanyuan Fang felt quite flattered, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "The general is too polite, it is true that I should thank the general's subordinates for their mercy." β
Lin Haotian's face was straight, and he said: "Jin Chi and the two countries, although there is no friendship, but there is no old grudge, on the contrary, the businessmen of the two countries often have contacts, I don't know, why did your country suddenly link up with the Mu country to send troops to attack my Jin country this time?"
This sentence stopped Xuanyuan Fang, I don't know how to answer, if it is said that my country has taken a fancy to the territory of Jin and wants to annex here, it is not looking for death, you know, now the lives of these 70,000 people are in the hands of others!
Xuanyuan Fang didn't say anything for a long time, and beads of sweat appeared on his anxious forehead.
Lin Haotian didn't embarrass him, and said quietly: "It stands to reason that the two countries are at war, the two armies are fighting, and they regard each other as mortal enemies, and today General Xuanyuan was forced to lead the army to surrender, and I should ......behead them all."
When Xuanyuan Fang heard this, his head buzzed, and he almost leaned back from the stool, he shook his hand again and again, and said urgently: "General Lin...... General Lin...... Not ......"
Lin Haotian raised his hand to cut off his words and continued: " At the same time, I hope that after General Xuanyuan returns to China, he will see His Royal Highness the Red King, indicating that my Dajin has no intention of being an enemy of the Red Kingdom, and I also hope that the Red Kingdom will not use troops against my Dajin, today's battle can be regarded as a misunderstanding, and my Dajin will not be held accountable, but if your country raises troops to attack again, my Dajin's tiger and wolf army will be slaughtered, and my Dajin's iron cavalry will also set foot on the territory of the Red Kingdom, and blood for blood, tooth for toothοΌβ
These words, Lin Haotian said sonorously and powerfully, his eyes shot a terrifying essence, and the sense of oppression and momentum exuded made the surrounding generals all look at him with admiration.
After Xuanyuan Fang listened, where did he dare to say half a word, he reached out and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, he couldn't answer at all, just nodded vigorously.
The coldness on Lin Haotian's face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his former softness, and he smiled: "Okay, that's all I have to say, if General Xuanyuan is willing, he can stay in my military camp for a few more days." β
"No, no, no, don't bother when you're down, ...... I want to leave for China immediately...... "How dare Xuanyuan Fang stay longer in the golden camp, Lin Haotian is happy now, and decided to let everyone on his side go, but who knows when he will be unhappy and will execute everyone on his side?"
In the land of right and wrong, go early!
Lin Haotian looked at Xuanyuan Fang with a smile, and asked rhetorically: "Your country borders with our country, but there are thousands of miles from here to your national capital, and General Xuanyuan confirms that the soldiers under his command now have the physical strength to return to China?"
"This ......" not to mention the soldiers under his command, even Xuanyuan Fang himself, now does not have the physical strength to travel long distances.
Lin Haotian smiled and said: "Although General Xuanyuan lives in peace, our army will leave tomorrow, and will leave tents and sufficient grain and grass, so that your army will no longer live in the barren mountains and mountains, and suffer from cold and starvation." β
Lin Haotian wanted to give up the Jin Army's barracks to himself, which was much beyond Xuanyuan Fang's expectations, and the latter was stunned for a while before he reacted, and hurriedly bowed his hand in surprise and joy, and thanked him repeatedly.
The Jin army gave up their camp to the Red Army, which looked very generous, but in fact there was nothing left, just some tents, food and other necessities, which were insignificant compared to the materials captured by the Jin army in this battle.
The weapons, armor, horses, grain and grass of the Red Army and all kinds of baggage were all plundered by the Jin Army, and in the end, more than 70,000 Red Army troops finally went home empty-handed.
With the Red Army defeated by Lin Haotian's army, this also greatly relieved the pressure on the Wuling County side to a certain extent, at least there was no need to worry about the Red Kingdom uniting with the Mu Country again.
After settling the Red Army, Lin Haotian led the army back to Shuangfeng City that night.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw that the streets on both sides were already crowded with dense people of the Jin Kingdom, who stretched out their heads, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed shoulders one after another, waiting for the news brought by their own army.
Seeing this, the corners of Lin Haotian's mouth raised slightly, and after a pause, he raised his right hand violently and said loudly: "The Red Army has surrendered, and we have won!"
His words immediately attracted an exclamation from everyone.
The Red Army, which had been besieging Twin Peaks for several months, had really surrendered? In this way, the war was over, and there would be no more fighting!
The people in Twin Peaks City couldn't react to this sudden news, and they stood in place one by one, staring at Lin Haotian with big eyes, unable to speak for a long time.
Chu Lianyu and Ding Feng and the others secretly exchanged a few glances, and then raised their arms and shouted: "Your Excellency is mighty, the near army will win! Your Excellency is mighty, and the Jin Army will win!"
Chu Lianyu's shout woke everyone up, only to hear the sound of the uproar, whether it was the Jin soldier or the ordinary, all knelt on one knee and followed Chu Lianyu and shouted: "Your Excellency is mighty! The Jin Army will win! Your Excellency is mighty, the Jin Army will win."
The shouting was like thunder, deafening, and it spread into the city all the time, and after a short time, the people of the whole city were raising their arms and shouting, and the sound waves surrounded the whole city, making the entire Twin Peaks City seem to tremble. (To be continued......)
