Li Chengzhou commanded the catapult beside him.

"Launch!"

The food was thrown into the Red Mountain City, smashing to the ground and even sending out a puff of smoke and dust.

There was a commotion among the soldiers of Hongshan City, and the Tang army outside the city was about to start attacking the city?

It wasn't until the smoke cleared that the soldiers could see what had been smashed to the ground, scattered jerky and all kinds of dried fruits.

"It's food! The Tang army threw food in! ”

"Grab it!"

The soldiers rushed up and went up to grab the food, and soon the food on the ground was snatched up, and even Tang Hai's guards didn't have time to grab a little food for Tang Hai.

The guards looked at the gobbling soldiers and were about to order them to hand over the food in their hands, when more food was thrown in.

Trebuchets can deliver food for nearly fifty people at a time, and food for seven hundred people needs fourteen deliveries.

The cheers of the soldiers were heard in the Red Hill City, and the soldiers cheered with joy as the food was constantly delivered.

But just when they were happy, the delivery of the Tang army outside the city stopped.

The Hu soldiers were puzzled, and the food they had brought in was obviously not enough for them to eat. They apparently forgot that the food was just the mercy of the Don Army for them, and it was not necessarily responsible for them.

The food delivery stopped, but the voice of the Tang army outside the city came in.

"Surrender and don't kill, eat and live!"

The soldiers of Red Mountain City began to waver again at this time, what could they not think of, why should they stay in Red Mountain City?

"If you go out of the city and surrender yourself, you can enjoy preferential treatment."

The soldiers exchanged heads, and they already had the idea of going out and surrendering.

"Whoever dares to go out and surrender will be beheaded!"

Under Tang Hai's threat, the soldiers stopped talking, but this thought had taken root in their hearts.

The soldiers of the Hu army collected the food that was thrown in Hongshan City and gathered all the food together, but the food was obviously not enough for the soldiers in Hongshan City.

Tang Hai gave priority to the food gathered for himself, then divided it among his guards, and finally gave a little to the rest of the soldiers.

This caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

"What's the matter? You Tang Hai rely on these guards to defend the city? Not on us? ”

"As long as you are human, we are not human?"

"You keep it for yourself, why do you pretend to give us a little."

The soldiers were making a loud noise below, and Tang Hai hurriedly took control of the situation.

"Don't be noisy! It's good to have food now, it's better than eating carrion, you should be content, and the next time you throw in food, I will give you priority. ”

It took Tang Hai a lot of effort to calm the emotions of the soldiers, but this was not a long-term solution after all.

In the next few days, the food that the Tang army threw in each time would be less than the last one hundred people, and the less and less food was already difficult for Tang Hai to control his soldiers, and the dissatisfaction of the soldiers became increasingly serious.

Tang Hai would give priority to distributing food to his guards every time, and as for the other soldiers, it was already difficult for Tang Hai to take care of them.

The soldiers of the Hu army were already so hungry that their heads were dizzy, and their bodies were a little cold.

"It's not the way to go on like this, do you really want to eat carrion?"

The smell of carrion in the corners of the city wall was getting louder and louder, and the whole city smelled of foul smell, but Tang Hai did not plan to bury these corpses, he thought that the soldiers would eat these carrion corpses to help him defend the city.

But his wishful thinking was obviously empty, and the soldiers were no longer warriors who accompanied him out to attack the Tang army, but desperate soldiers who had planned to go out of the city to beg for surrender.

Every night a hundred or so soldiers would go out of the city to surrender, and every morning there would be several gates where there were no defenders, and they would follow the deserters out of the city.

Li Chengzhou didn't worry about the problem of food, and when their food was about to run out, Xing came to the camp with two thousand people pulling a baggage cart, which was enough for them to last for a long time.

Tang Hai would hear the news of how many soldiers had escaped last night every morning, and he also had an incomparably headache, so he could only threaten the soldiers and kill whoever dared to escape, but this pale and feeble threat was obviously not lethal.

The soldiers would rather be found and killed than starve to death. But they have been following Tang Hai for many years, and not directly rebelling is already the greatest respect.

The food that the Tang army threw in became less and less, from 700 servings, to 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100 servings.

This time only fifty copies were thrown in.

There are only more than 2,000 soldiers left in Hongshan City, and those more than 1,000 people have slipped away in the night, although they are always under surveillance in the Tang army camp, but at least they can eat enough and sleep well.

More than 2,000 soldiers were given only twenty portions of food, and thirty portions of food were divided between Tang Hai and his minions.

"It's too much! Even if everyone shares it evenly. ”

"It's chilling."

The soldiers muttered below.

"Shut up, the carrion under the walls is for you."

When the soldiers heard this, they became even more agitated.

"Fuck it back!"

"It's down! It's down! ”

More than 2,000 soldiers mutinied in the central square, and the soldiers defending the city also walked down the walls and joined the rebels.

The soldiers did not attack the council chamber directly, but walked towards the south gate, they wanted to surrender, and they did not want to be angry with the birds.

The guards roared loudly in the back.

"Who dares to go? Whoever dares to go, we will kill him!" ”

But the soldiers did not intend to listen to these minions and did not look back.

did not directly arrest them and dedicate them to the Tang Army, which was already very restrained.

When Tang Hai heard the news, he hurriedly came out to dissuade him.

"There is really no way to not have enough food, don't go, we will definitely come up with a way together."

But the soldiers clearly did not intend to listen to his nonsense.

"Prince, the matter has come to this, we are all right, staying in Hongshan City is already a dead end, and we are not treated as human beings, you can take your guards and figure it out yourself."

The soldiers were still determined to leave Hongshan City, and even if some really wanted to stay, they were dragged out of the South Gate.

More than 2,000 people walked out of the city wall, walking slowly but firmly towards the Tang army barracks.

Li Chengzhou was accustomed to seeing more than 100 soldiers come to surrender, but this time there were 2,000 soldiers who walked out of the city gate.

"Are they going to charge? Or do you want to surrender? ”

Li Xiaojiang didn't understand either, but he still asked the soldiers to line up and prepare.

"I don't understand, but I'm ready to go!"

Hu Jun, who went out of the city to beg for surrender, threw the weapon in his hand on the ground and walked towards the Tang army with his hands raised.

"It's really a surrender, but how can you surrender so much at once? There's definitely something wrong with Red Hill City. ”

"It should be."

"Xiao Jiang, you can ask them what the situation is in a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
