Chen Xingfan spread his hands, "Hey, you have to ask General Gai about this." ”

"The Turtle Fort is only thirty miles from here, and with your fast feet, you can reach it in half a day. Why did you go for more than ten days? Wen Wuji continued to ask.

The smile on his face gradually stiffened, Chen Xingfan patted his head, "Hey, forget it, I'll be honest with you, what about me, in fact, I let the enemy capture me, I betrayed the Tang Dynasty, and I used them as a spy." ”

"I'm coming back this time, mainly to see if you're starving to death with a bunch of unlucky ghosts. If you don't starve to death, I'll let you eat a full meal, and then die when you're full. ”

"As for that reinforcement or something, it's all about deceiving you to be happy, hahahaha......"

Chen Xingfan was still smiling.

Wen Wuji grabbed the other party's armor and asked loudly, "How did you come back?" ”

Chen Xingfan stopped smiling, "Let's let everyone be happy first, can we eat for two days?" ”

On the side of the city gate, Zhang Xiaojing came to the wounded Liu Zongqi with a small bowl of fried millet, "Come, eat something." ”

Liu Zongqi looked up unexpectedly, "Have my food?" ”

The meaning is obvious, the recruit has always thought that he is injured and can no longer fight, and if there is a shortage of food, it will be like wasting food to feed him, a wounded man who is unable to fight again. Therefore, he kept his head down, thinking that he had no part of his own.

"Yes, both!" Zhang Xiaojing comforted: "Didn't Chen Xingfan say it, this grain can eat reinforcements." ”

But as soon as he handed the small bowl to Liu Zongqi's mouth, the other party couldn't help coughing, and blew a lot of fried millet.

"Don't pick it up, don't pick it up, don't pick it up, and what's more!" Zhang Xiaojing hurriedly pressed the other party.

Liu Zongqi wet his eyes and said, "Give me food, it's already a waste." ”

Zhang Xiaojing was silent, what a good soldier!

"It's so fragrant, like my grandmother planted it......"

"Come on, eat slowly." Zhang Xiaojing handed the small bowl to Liu Zongqi, he stared at the shield, came to the battle flag to deliver food to Xiao Gui, and the two brothers leaned against the wall and ate a bowl of millet together.

On the side of the wok, Ding Laosan said: "The grain brought by Chen Xingfan, let's save some food, enough for two or three days." There are more than thirty enemy troops, and we have to kill fifteen a day. Zhang Xiaojing and Xiao Gui, it's no problem to nail one person to death, we need more than a dozen every day. ”

"Heh, don't run away?" The man next to him asked.

Ding Laosan said with a firm look in his eyes: "Don't run away, reinforcements are coming." Tang Jun thinks about us! ”

Everyone laughed.

The man said, "Then we are full, why don't we just sit and wait?" ”

Ding Laosan said: "He Youlu, you soft egg, you spit out all the military rations you just ate for me!" ”

The man He Youlu was stunned for a moment, and then immediately pounced directly on Ding Laosan, pressed him against the wall and asked loudly: "Who do you say is soft?" Who do you say will flee? ”

"You eat the food of the Tang Army, you are a member of the Tang Army, you don't fight, you wait for others to come to rescue, aren't you just a soft egg?" Ding Lao said in three voices.

"Forget it, eat, eat!" The crowd pulled the two apart.

Ding Laosan said in a deep voice: "The thief's arrow shaft is thick, we Tang crossbow can't use that arrow, the arrow we shoot out ourselves should be about one hundred and twenty steps, and I will pick it up when it gets dark." ”

Zhang Shilang said: "The enemy army is thirty steps away from us, and you can't come back if you go." ”

"Just bring the arrows back." Ding Laosan said: "But I need you to take the handle, one by one, one by one, in five steps, and transport the arrows back." ”

It seems that the battle has been going on so far, not only is the number of troops attrition and food insufficient, but even the arrows are running out. So much so that the enemy's tent was set up thirty paces below the city. It is to bully the city without arrows.

The Eighth Regiment had more than 200 people, more than 1,000 of whom had fought fiercely for more than 20 days, and now there are more than a dozen people left. The enemy's more than 1,000 people suffered greater losses, of course, it was not the remaining 30 people who died, but more than 30 people who were left to crucify a dozen people in the city to prevent them from escaping. Divide a small part and report for help. The real battle damage, seven or eight hundred, there are.

He Youlu said: "If that method worked, we would have done it a long time ago." Do the math, how many snaps of fingers do you need to pick up fifteen arrows? Three at most, and you'll be shot as a hedgehog. ”

Ding Laosan walked to the door and looked towards the city, "We have another way, let's seize the crossbow!" One handful is enough. ”

"The enemy crossbowmen do not leave the camp. Are you going to touch their camp? Dream on. ”

"Anyway, I'm not going to eat Tang Jun's food in vain!" Ding Laosan said loudly.

He Youlu sneered: "You're right, if you can live, who will find death by yourself?" Let Jean, I plan, when I am full, wait for reinforcements to come. ”

Everyone parted unhappily.

Late at night, while everyone was asleep, Ding Laosan quietly lowered the rope, fell down the city wall by himself, and touched the enemy position.

However, in the haze, he saw that there was another person in front of him, who had come down one step earlier, and that was ...... Lao He?

Ding Laosan couldn't believe it, He Youlu, who had been waiting for reinforcements, had been lying to everyone, and at the critical moment, he was braver.

He Youlu took out two mint leaves, chewed them, and saw that the enemy in front of him had a war horse alone, so he quietly touched it, if he got this horse, the profit would be greater.

It's a pity that this is a trap, and the six lying around the war horse are not corpses, but enemies, Ding Laosan watched He Youlu being captured.

At the head of the city, Xiao Gui woke up Zhang Xiaojing with a stone, and Zhang Xiaojing fell down and dragged Ding Laosan back.

The next morning, the enemy tied He Youlu up and executed him in person, and the screams irritated the people of the Eighth Regiment defending the city.

"Xiao Gui, are there still arrows?" Zhang Xiaojing shouted angrily.

Xiao Gui don't look around, "It's gone!" ”

How could there not be one? Xiao Gui knew that the arrow was not to kill the enemy, but to help He Youlu get free.

"Ahh Can't throw down Lao He ......" Two people yelled, threw down the rope, and wanted to fall down to save people.

"Get down, get down......" Zhang Xiaojing and Wen Wuji shouted at the same time.

Unfortunately, the enemy reacted quickly, and the arrows were fired in unison, and the 8th regiment broke two more brothers.

"Zhang Xiaojing draws his knife, whoever goes down will be dealt with by military law!" Wen Wuji ordered.

Ding Laosan angrily rushed over and pounced on Chen Xingfan, grabbed the other party's neck and asked, "Chen Xingfan, when will the reinforcements arrive?" ”

"I just want everyone to have two full meals, I just want you to eat two full meals......"

"Let me ask you, will the reinforcements arrive tonight, or tomorrow morning?"

Chen Xingfan finally couldn't hold back, and cried and said: "Don't save He Youlu anymore, it's the same whether you can save it or not, we all have to die!" ”

"What do you mean? What do you mean? ……”

"There will be no reinforcements, reinforcements will not come......"

Both of them shouted madly.

Zhang Xiaojing pushed the third child away, grabbed Chen Xingfan's collar and asked, "What about the grain you brought back?" It's military rations! It has the mark of the Turtle Fort. ”

Chen Xingfan cried and said: "In the past ten days, I went to Qiuzi Fort, and the four forts and five beacon towers around it, all of which were empty. Even the more than 200 military dependents who had cultivated the military fields were no longer visible. It was a wasteland, as if no one had ever planted it......"

Everyone was stunned, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Zhang Xiaojing questioned: "There were still people when we came." ”

"I have already withdrawn cleanly, and I haven't encountered a single Tang army along the way. I really had no choice, so I dug up some spare grain from the cellar of the Turtle Fort and brought it back. There are no reinforcements, Datang doesn't care about us......"

Ding Lao Sanyuan retorted with his eyes open: "You are talking nonsense, we are the eighth regiment, the regiment of the Anxi Iron Army that has received the most awards!" Before we left, General Gai personally saw us off, so why didn't he care about us? Why leave us alone! Did you go to the enemy army and become a spy? ”

Chen Xingfan was enraged, "Me? Will I be a spy for a thief? ”

As he spoke, he knelt down in the direction of the military flag, beat his chest and said loudly: "I, Chen Xingfan, volunteered to defend the border for the Tang Dynasty, and my parents, wives and children, all of whom I moved from the rich Shu to Broken Leaf City, where I cultivated military fields, here, this is my home!" ”

Will I be a spy for the enemy? Yes? Will I be a spy for the enemy?

Ding Laosan took out a horizontal knife and put it on Chen Xingfan's neck and asked loudly, "Then why are you wearing enemy clothes?" Why would the enemy tempt us? ”

Chen Xingfan angrily took off the fox fur clothes on his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "On the way back, I met three enemy spies and were slaughtered by me. Before he died, he shouted in his native dialect that they didn't know I could understand. ”

"He said, 'Three thousand troops, which will arrive in two days, will behead you!'

"It's their reinforcements coming...... Three thousand, ten regiments! ”

Chen Xingfan howled and cried, and the knife in Ding Laosan's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and everyone froze.
