Chapter 230: Running Out of Ammunition and Food

As soon as Uncle Zhongyong left Beijing, the prince forced Emperor Showa to pass the throne to himself, and not long after, Chenzhou rioted, and the rebels spontaneously formed by the mob wanted to enter the capital in the name of Zhongyongbo to destroy the prince to save His Majesty and set things right.

At the same time, a large number of troops and horses in the west of Yue began to attack Yuanfeng County.

The peace and tranquility that had lasted for decades were shattered, and Zhaoling fell into a scuffle.

Two months later, Yuanfeng County.

After another failed siege by enemy forces in the west of Vietnam, the city fell into a brief period of silence.

After the deputy general Cao Hong counted the casualties, he walked quickly to the city tower.

Due to the Chenzhou riots, the supply of grain and grass in the imperial court was not enough, there was not much grain and grass in the city, bows and arrows, gunpowder, and stones were also exhausted, and Yuanfeng County did not rain for a month, so I am afraid that it would not last long without assistance.

Cao Hong was very anxious, but when he arrived at the city tower, he found Jiang Yunfei sitting in a corner where no one was asleep.

The armor on his body was soaked in layers of blood, and he had already become gray, and his whole person was visibly emaciated.

In the past half month, the offensive of the enemy army in Yuexi has been very fierce, and Jiang Yunfei has been guarding the city tower, and he has not slept well for a long time.

Cao Hong pursed his lips, couldn't bear to wake up Jiang Yunfei, wanted him to sleep a little longer, and was about to leave, but Jiang Yunfei opened his eyes and looked over.

"How's it going?"

Asking, Jiang Yunfei stood up, but in an instant, he entered a state of combat readiness.

Cao Hong had no choice but to step forward to report the situation.

Jiang Yunfei's expression did not change after hearing this, and he asked in a dumb voice: "How long can the grain and grass in the city last?" ”

"If there is no support, it is estimated that the last general will run out of ammunition and food in three days at most."

Having said that, Cao Hong actually had no hope for support in his heart.

There are so many messages asking for help, if there is support, how can there be no response at all?

Jiang Yunfei looked into the distance quietly, not depressed and desperate because of Cao Hong's words, his eyebrows and eyes were as resolute and calm as usual, and after a while, he calmly ordered: "The men in the city, all over fifteen and under fifty are left, and the others are transferred with the seriously injured soldiers, if there are defectors, they will be killed!" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Hong didn't leave immediately, hesitated for a while and asked, "Do you want to write a letter to your family?" ”

Jiang Yunfei seems to be going to live and die with other soldiers, if he is really buried here, it would be too ruthless to not even leave a word.

Jiang Yunfei's eyes flashed slightly, and he said lightly: "No, from the day I stepped into the barracks, I was ready to die for the country, and so did they." ”

Cao Hong watched Jiang Yunfei come to this day step by step, and knew that Jiang Yunfei wanted to lead by example, and he couldn't help but be awe-inspired.

Everyone was ready to die, but in the next few days, the enemy army in the west of Vietnam did not attack again.

At first, the soldiers who stayed behind were still rejoicing, thinking that the Yuexi people would not be able to attack for a long time and gave up, but soon they knew that they were wrong.

The enemy army in the west of Vietnam sent about 20 soldiers to carry a roasted whole sheep to the outside of the city, and leisurely shared the food.

They obviously knew that the city had run out of ammunition and food, so they did not plan to attack the city, and deliberately consumed them.

These people stood outside the range of bows and arrows, and they were very unscrupulous.

"Cao Hong!" Jiang Yunfei shouted sharply, Cao Hong immediately straightened his body and looked at Jiang Yunfei, Jiang Yunfei took his saber and ordered in a deep voice, "Open the city gate and let me out!" ”

Guessing what Jiang Yunfei wanted to do, Cao Hong tried to stop him: "My lord, if you don't belong to it, Yuanfeng County can't do without you." ”

"If I can't come back, you'll be on top!" Jiang Yunfei patted Cao Hong's shoulder, and then raised his voice, "Those who can stay here to this day are all iron-clad men, if I die, I will be topped by Vice General Cao, and if Vice General Cao dies, I will be topped by thousands of households, as long as there is still a soldier upstairs, Yuanfeng County cannot be lost!" ”

Jiang Yunfei was full of anger, and the words he said were more and more imposing than the others, and the people who were originally desperate because of the deliberate provocation of the enemy army in Yuexi all cheered up again, and shouted in unison: "Swear to defend Yuanfeng County, swear to defend Yuanfeng County!! ”

Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Yunfei rode a war horse and quickly fought out of the city.

The enemy troops in Yuexi, who were originally eating meat, immediately met the battle, and the enemy troops hiding in the distance also rushed to this side after discovering it.

Jiang Yunfei was not in love with war, and after slashing and killing two enemy soldiers, he snatched the roasted whole sheep on horseback, and used their fire to light the torch, and turned the horse's head back to the city.

How could those few enemy troops in the west of Yue let him snatch the roast whole sheep so easily, and chase after him murderously, Cao Hong and the archers kept aiming below, and when they entered the range, he immediately ordered: "Release!" ”

The two people who were chasing Jiang Yunfei screamed miserably, Jiang Yunfei killed a horse gun, picked four or five people to dismount, and then returned to the city without hesitation.

Jiang Yunfei asked the soldiers to take the roasted whole sheep and divide it, everyone was excited, Cao Hong also ate a piece, and bit hatefully: "Their cooks can't do it, this meat is roasted with firewood, I thought it could be so delicious, when the battle is over, I will show you a hand." ”

Everyone responded happily.

Jiang Yunfei didn't eat mutton or laugh, and went up to the city tower alone.

Tonight's excitement was only temporary, and the enemy army in the west of Vietnam already knew that the city was exhausted of ammunition and food, and without support, it was only a matter of time before the city was destroyed.

The enemy forces outside the city had retreated, and the moonlight shrouded the land coldly.

No matter how the fireworks spread, the moon will not change.

Jiang Yunfei looked at the moon for a while, sat down in the corner, and tore strips of cloth to wrap around his wrists.

Just when he was fighting outside the city, the tiger's mouth was shattered.

When he lowered his head to tie the knot, Jiang Yunfei saw the tooth marks on his wrist.

It was bitten by Hua Rong, and after so long, it was so shallow that it was almost invisible.

Jiang Yunfei's eyes flashed slightly, and he remembered the flowers.

I don't know if her body is better, how much she can eat a day now, Ah Xiao is a lot more sensible now, she should be able to take care of her.

Thinking about it, the scene of Hua Rong suddenly coming to the tent to talk on the eve of departure came to my mind again.

The Adam's apple rolled, and Jiang Yunfei tied the strip of cloth into a dead knot.

A little glad that Hua Rong fainted after saying it, and he didn't have time to say anything irreparable.

Two days later, the enemy army in the west of Vietnam launched another attack, this time with a fierce attack, and it did not take long to reach the top of the tower.

There were people around him who kept falling, Jiang Yunfei couldn't hear anything, only his body instinctively fought hard.

He can't fall.

If he falls, there is no hope for the others.

But there are more and more people going up the tower, he is also a human being, and he will be tired.

I don't know how long it took, Jiang Yunfei was slashed on the side of his waist, he didn't seem to feel the pain, and continued to swing the knife, but his speed slowed down significantly.

Seeing the opportunity, the people around him surrounded him more and more fiercely, eager to chop him into pulp.

At this moment, two figures suddenly flashed.

Jiang Yunqi stood in front and ordered in a deep voice: "Follow the wind, quickly take my eldest brother down to heal his injuries!" ”
