The soldiers who came back said they hadn't eaten for so long that they didn't even have water to drink. I had fought for a long time before, and I was very hungry. Some people are eating grass and leaves, and some people even peel off the bark to eat.

Others saw some corpses on the left flank of the Zhao army, burned with fire oil. I used to look disgusting, but I was so hungry that I couldn't take care of it. But before he could start, he was discovered by Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun said that Ma Fuzi had an order not to kill the surrendered army. Those who surrender can get a bowl of soup cakes and go back by cutting off their thumbs on their own.

At first, no one believed me, but I was so hungry. And even if you don't have to eat, the water source is also cut off, and there is no water.

Zhao Ren deliberately placed the cooking stove very close, and the aroma was really attractive. Some robes tried to rob them, but they were shot alive by the crossbowmen who were ambushed by the Zhao people.

The smell of blood and the smell of rice are mixed together, and it smells strange, but the more you smell it, the more unbearable it becomes. A few of them said they wanted to be a full ghost, so they cut off their thumbs, threw their nails and swords, and walked over.

I didn't expect to really take a bowl of soup cakes and eat them where our army could see them.

After eating, Zhao Jun broke a dun cake for them.

By this morning, more and more brothers couldn't stand it anymore, cut off their thumbs, went to Zhao Jun to change food, and then these brothers were all released. The last two thousand robes who resolutely refused to surrender were also so hungry that they lost their strength and were killed by the Zhao army. ”

After hearing this, Bai Qi fell into silence for a long time. There are more than 30,000 more subordinates without thumbs, like more than 30,000 more mouths.

And he doesn't have a thumb, he can't hold a weapon, and he doesn't have much combat effectiveness.

He stood up, feeling a little dizzy, and couldn't help but sit down again. He hadn't eaten in days.

"Wang Qian, you go and ask in detail, what Zhao Jun gave us to eat in robes, whether there is horse meat, or is it all soup cakes and corn. And let them recall whether Zhao Jun himself ate horse meat. ”

Wang Jian understood what Bai Qi meant, if Zhao Jun ate it himself or ate horse meat for the Qin army, it would mean that Zhao Jun himself would not be able to hold on.

In fact, Zhao Kuo only has less than a month's worth of grain and grass on hand.

Some of the horses had indeed been killed, saving food and grass and replenishing the army's rations.

However, at the suggestion of Lian Po, horse meat was assigned to the sergeants in the rear.

The sergeants in front of them all ate corn or pasta, some air-dried chicken and mutton, and so on.

The horses of those cavalry also had the most satisfying meal since they joined the war.

Black bean hay is open for supply.

If you keep eating this way, Zhao Kuo's grain and grass can only last for half a month.

But the effect of doing so is significant.

Now all the Qin troops feel that the Zhao army is not short of food.

If it is said that when he was in the Changping camp, Zhao Kuo did not kill and surrender in order to expel the defeated troops and assist in the attack.

This time, Zhao Kuo did not kill and surrender, it was really worthy of Qin Jun's belief.

Only Zhao Kuo's prestige can make the Zhao army under his command say that if he doesn't kill and surrender, he won't kill and surrender when facing the Qin army who just killed more than 200,000 robes of him, although he hates it in his heart.

But not long ago, the fire at Gaopingguan that everyone could see, and the repeated communication of the middle and low-level officers, made Zhao Jun understand, don't kill and surrender, put the Qin army back, consume the grain and grass of the Qin army, and the Qin army will not be able to hold on.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo did not kill and surrender, but aimed at the soldiers of the Qin army. He left none of the above.

There has always been a big war, no matter what, as long as they surrender, the senior generals have a great chance of survival.

He can't be punished by a doctor.

Zhao Kuo did this, although he appeased the heart of Zhao Jun under his command who had a strong desire for revenge, but also made himself lose the option of surrendering in the future.

But he didn't care at all.

The Qin army went back with too many troops, and according to the Qin law, they would sit together, but during the war, it was impossible to kill them all according to the Qin law.

Moreover, after they were abandoned by Bai Qi, they were trapped behind enemy lines, fought until they ran out of arrows and food before surrendering, and returned to the camp immediately after being released.

It was reasonable for Bai Qi to order the execution of the returning soldiers. Otherwise, the Qin army may bomb the camp again.

Therefore, after the Qin army surrendered and returned to the camp, the fact that the Zhao army really accepted the surrender spread throughout the Qin camp. By the time Bai Qi gave the gag order, it was too late.

Now the only thing that can save the fate of the Qin army is to capture Gaoping Pass as soon as possible. Otherwise, tomorrow, the entire Qin army will be completely out of food.

"Pass my general order, immediately withdraw from Light Wolf City with great fanfare, let Zhao Jun take over, and don't make any counterattacks." Bai Qi made up his mind.

"Why did Wu Anjun give up Light Wolf City?" Yang Duanhe asked.

Wang Jian on the side answered this question: "Our army has killed only the messenger's horse. Only by concentrating on capturing Gaoping Pass can there be a way out. Let the Guangwolf City and let the Zhao army occupy it, there is a precedent for Zhao Cong, and they will definitely carefully check the situation in the city, so that they may be delayed to go to the aid of Gaopingguan. ”

"We only have one day, two days at most. Take Gaoping, take advantage of the gallop behind Gaoping to quickly rush back to Duanshi, and then withdraw to Hangu Pass, there is no other way. Bai Qi said, and then took the lead in leaving Light Wolf City.

When Gao Ping was closed, Li Mu looked at the dense Qin army in the distance, and his heart was like water.

When a soldier fights, how can there be an immortal, either you kill me, or I kill you.

However, under the strong attack of the Qin army, Gaopingguan has long been flawed everywhere.

The gates were blocked, but the walls were broken in several places.

On several occasions, the Qin army even successfully landed directly through the cloud ladder, but then, he was carried by the Zhao army and fell off the city wall.

Together, they melt into a puddle of meat puree.

I don't know, how long it will last.

Li Mu has even made people set fire to the grain and grass that was originally going to be left for his 20,000 people to eat.

None of them were left.

Even if they hold it today, they themselves will run out of food.

In order to leave nothing for the Qin army.

The Qin army under the gate set up a cloud ladder, and the Qin army who was digging tunnels not far away to attack the city did not even cover up anymore and dug directly.

Siege towers were also made, and many Qin troops were pushing forward.

Dozens of trebuchets have been loaded with stone shells.

The flag flutters high.

"Even if we die, even if we are crushed, even if the whole army is annihilated, we can't humiliate the flag above me." Li Mu turned around and said to his subordinates.

All the hundred generals under him were promoted by Zhao Kuo after he crossed, and everyone was wearing the clothes given by Zhao Kuo.

This is the most important thing in his life before he dies, draped on his body.

No one spoke, but everyone held their weapons.

Gao Ping closed, a makeshift bracket flag fluttered in the wind, as if mocking the opposite flag that had never defeated him.

Prepare to die.

Suddenly, there was a violent sound of horses' hooves.

The Qin army no longer has so many horses.

It's Zhao Jun.

There was actually a team of cavalry, crossing the mountains and mountains, bypassing Duwei City, and directly killing the catapult position of the Qin army.

The Qin army had already prepared, and the ambush soldiers in Duweicheng rushed out directly, and the Qin army in front of the position rained down arrows.

The cavalry of the Zhao army was small in number, so it was naturally defeated, leaving dozens of corpses behind and retreating in defeat.

Gao Ping closed, and Li Mu laughed so much that tears were about to flow out.

He saw that the Qin army, which had always been strict in military discipline, was fighting for the corpse of the Zhao army's war horse, and even faced each other with white knives. It turns out that the Qin army is really short of food.

Moreover, since the cavalry of the Zhao army has arrived here, it is explained.

Zhao Kuo, the field battle, won!

Then it's worth it even if you die.

On the Huanghua Ridge not far away, Zhao Kuo stared coldly at the Qin army under Gaoping Pass.

What kind of light wolf city Changping City, I don't care an inch.

I just want my brothers to live.
