At night, Wang Rong entertained Zhang Songqi and his party in the big tent of the Chinese army, mainly Zhang Songqi, Zhang Genghuang and his son, and Zhang Pu. Accompanied by Li Sujie. Wang Rong insisted that Zhang Songqi sit in the main seat, and he and Li Sujie sat facing Zhang Gengxiao and Zhang Pu brothers and sisters.

Wang Rong took the lead in lifting the water bowl, and he was not allowed to drink alcohol during war, which was the most important one of Wang Rong's iron laws governing the army. Wang Rong first said: "Thank you for the county guard for leading the troops to help today, thank you to Captain Zhang for helping, and thank Xiao Zhang for his generosity with everyone in the Military Medical Department." ”

After speaking, Wang Rong drank all the water in the bowl. Zhang Songqi looked at the water in his bowl in a daze, his face surprised. Zhang Pu saw his father staring at the bowl with a strange appearance, and said with a smile: "Father, Zhong Ming is forbidden to drink alcohol in the army, this is a special emphasis in his military law. Moreover, the wine in Zhong Ming's army is different from the wine sold outside, and it is extremely strong, and it is generally used to clean the wounds of wounded soldiers. ”

Zhang Gengmi's eyes looked at his sister who was talking inexplicably, and sighed in his heart: Alas, is this the legendary female college not left?

Zhang Songqi looked curious, and he asked, "Oh? The wine in Zhong Ming's army is stronger than the wine outside. Grab some and I'll taste it. ”

Zhang Pu knew what his father was like, and when he heard Zhang Songqi's words, he took out a small gourd from his portable medicine box.

Wang Wei, who was standing behind Wang Rong, was very eye-catching, and quickly stepped forward to take the gourd, and then sent it to the table at the top.

Zhang Songqi couldn't wait to open the wooden cork on the gourd, and a strong aroma of wine instantly filled the entire Zhongjun tent. Zhang Songqi couldn't wait to raise the gourd and take a big sip. The spicy sensation fills the mouth, and the feeling of boiling blood rushes straight to the brain.

Zhang Songqi laughed and said, "Happy! Zhong Ming! What's the name of this wine? ”

Li Sujie grabbed the conversation and said with a smile: "Lord County Shou, the name of this wine is Xifeng Lie. It is the name chosen by Zhong Ming himself. ”

Wang Rong looked at Li Sujie, who was open-mouthed, with black lines on his head, this distilled liquor has never had a name, when did he name this liquor.

Zhang Songqi drank a gourd of wine, a little unsatisfied, but he didn't continue to ask for it. He looked at Wang Rong, who was eating in silence there, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He said with an embarrassed face: "Let Zhong Ming smile, Ben Hou doesn't know why Zhong Ming wants to ban alcohol in the army?" ”

Wang Rong put down his chopsticks and said solemnly: "If it is low-alcohol alcohol sold outside, I will not ban it, and I will only limit the ration of each soldier." But as soon as the west wind came out of our army, the soldiers abandoned the low-alcohol wine. However, the intensity of the west wind is too high, and ordinary people are already drunk and unconscious after three bowls. This greatly affected the combat effectiveness of the army, and people who drank excessively were also very poor in alcohol, and often did things that violated military law, so I implemented a ban on alcohol in the army. And it is stipulated that alcohol consumption will only be allowed when it is absolutely safe, and the drinking must not be excessive, and it is limited to less than half a catty per person. ”

Zhang Songqi listened and nodded, this west wind is so spicy and fierce, just this gourd wine of only about two taels, he is already a little drunk. You must know that he is not drunk in a thousand cups, but those wines are water compared to this west wind.

Wang Rong saw Zhang Songqi's unfinished meaning, and he was not hypocritical, and said bluntly: "Since the Hou Ye likes it so much, after this battle, the Western Governor's Mansion will provide you with Xifeng Spirit." At the end of the day, the quality will be better than what you can drink now. ”

Zhang Songqi smiled and said, "Then it's troublesome Zhongming, and I will let the government settle the wine money when the time comes." It's just that this West Wind Lie is such a fine wine, the price must be expensive, Zhong Ming can't open his mouth when the time comes. ”

Wang Rong said with a smile: "The last general will not dare, and the West Wind Lie supplied to the Hou Mansion will be settled at cost price." ”

Zhang Songqi laughed heartily and said, "Okay, accept your feelings." After saying that, he lifted the water bowl and drank all the water in the bowl. Wang Rong also returned a bowl of water.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious, and after Zhang Songqi drank it, he talked about it and told the four juniors about the interesting things he had when he was in the army.

Wang Rong's side of the camp is happy, while the man's side is a different scene.

Yu Sheshi and An's tents were very depressed, and the offensive on the western side of the camp was frustrated, and the same was true of the east camp.

Lin Chong, the eastern lieutenant, has a very strong learning ability, although he does not have a sharp weapon like fire oil, but he has a bed crossbow, and there are still a lot of them, there are hundreds of them. He used half of it as a stone block and half as a ballista.

This kind of firepower made Ashina Siyuan miserable, and he always had the illusion that he was still attacking the West Battalion. Although the eastern camp is not as perverted as the western camp, there are three trenches and three walled walls, only one ditch and one wall. But this trench is about two zhang wide and about one and a half zhang deep, and it would be a fool's dream to fill it temporarily.

If the Bearded Man wants to attack, he can only use flying ladders to build on the trenches, and the ladders and battering rams are useless. With such rudimentary siege equipment, it would be a nightmare to attack the fortified Dongda camp.

The tribesmen fought all day, but they found nothing but tens of thousands of corpses on the walls and ditches. Of the 60,000 tribal army, there are now less than 20,000 left.

And Yu Sheshi and An's side are also miserable, the newly reorganized Xiong Ben army is completely different from the 15,000 Xiong Ben army that died. Neither combat effectiveness nor will to fight can be said to be the same.

After careful calculation, in the past few days, there were less than 60,000 people left in the entire army of the Qiangfu that attacked Shuofang County, including the seriously wounded and lightly wounded. At this moment, in the tent of the Chinese army in the entire camp, the solemn atmosphere is like substance. Even though there was tender and delicious mutton on the table, the people in the tent did not have any appetite.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps from far and near, and the curtain of the tent was lifted. A man in armor ran to the center of the tent, knelt on one knee, and said loudly to Yu Sheshi He'an, who was sitting on the top: "Report! King Liwang of the right valley, there is an important military situation in Yinshan! ”

"Yinshan military situation? Bring! When Yu Shotshi and An heard this, their hearts were uneasy, and they hurriedly asked the armor warrior to send the information.

The thin sheepskin roll was unfolded, and the content on it made Yu Shi He'an's heart tighten, and the bean-sized cold sweat instantly covered his forehead. I saw that it was written: The Yinshan herd has been attacked, and all the livestock have been lost.

"King Yougu Li, what's wrong?" When Ashina Siyuan saw Yu Sheshi and An's ugly expressions, he knew that something bad had happened. But he couldn't help but ask, it was about his own net worth and life.

Yu Sheshi and An wanted to hide the news, but it was unrealistic, and the leaders in the tent were not all fools. He had no choice but to hand the parchment scroll to Ashina Siyuan. Ashina Siyuan took it and looked at the content on it, and stood up in shock: "What?!" Herd attack?! ”

As soon as Ashina Siyuan said this, the tent was directly fried. Livestock is the wealth of the steppe people, providing an abundance of dairy products and urgent meat. Why is it urgent meat? Because unless the livestock dies of old age or accident, the grassland will disassemble it and eat the meat. In general, they do not eat meat. Except, of course, for the steppe nobility.

Yu Shot Shi and An looked at the exaggerated Ashina Siyuan with gloomy eyes, and they wanted to break this guy into pieces.

Several leaders immediately left the table, walked to the center of the big tent, knelt on one knee, and pleaded: "King Yougu Li, please withdraw your troops, the men of the tribe have shed enough blood here." Now that the herd has also been lost, if we don't withdraw our troops, I'm afraid, we won't even be able to get out of Yinshan. ”

Yu Sheshi and An refused expressionlessly: "We haven't reached the point of exhaustion yet, as long as we build Guangmu City, we will be able to get food and women." ”

The leaders continued: "But... ”

Ashina Siyuan interrupted what they wanted to say, walked to the center of the big tent, bowed to Yu Sheshi and An, and said, "King Yougu Li, now the food in our camp can last for five days, that is to say, we still have two more days to attack the city. It's just that the tribal soldiers have suffered heavy losses and urgently need to be replenished, hoping that the king of the right valley can replenish those tribal soldiers who have been rowed over. ”

Yu Sheshi and An listened to Ashina Siyuan's words, their faces were blue and angry. The soldier who snatched it was only held in his hand for two days, and this Ashina son wanted to take it back.

But thinking of the performance of those tribal soldiers, Yu Shot Shi and An said angrily: "Yes, those soldiers are under the command of your Ashina." ”

Ashina Siyuan said humbly: "Thank you to the right valley Liwang. ”

Yu Shotshi and An's faces were solemn, and he said loudly: "Tomorrow, we will launch a new offensive. The cavalry of the Xiongben Army will also join the battle. If anyone dares to stop patrolling, don't blame me for not recognizing people with the scimitar in my hand! ”

"Yes!" And all the people in the tent answered.
