84. Where is the way back
In front of Gaoping Pass.
Out of respect for the great men of history and the terrible opponents, Zhao Kuo had the body of Bai Qi collected and buried it next to those big pits.
The surrendered Qin army hung its head and lined up.
After the white self-killing. Zhao Kuo asked Sima Shang to pile up a few baskets of vegetable leaves, as well as more than a dozen baskets of corn that was about to rot, and even some freshly cut offal, and transported them to the front of the Light Wolf City.
These supplies seem to be a lot, but they are actually scattered to hundreds of thousands of Qin troops, which is a drop in the bucket.
Zhao Kuo stopped his subordinates from urinating and poisoning these supplies.
The situation has not reached the point where such a response is warranted.
"Wait for Qin Dog to listen, my horse is benevolent and righteous, and I know that you have been hungry for a long time. This food is what we have saved from our mouths, and it is enough for you to eat. If you want to eat, get it yourself! ”
After speaking, Sima Shang didn't even distribute it, took a few steps back, found a place to sit down, and sneered on his face.
Zhao Jun beside him took advantage of his lack of attention, and hatefully spit a few mouthfuls of phlegm into the corn in the basket.
Sima Shang just didn't see it, and beckoned Zhao Jun to retreat, armed and on guard, to prevent the Qin army from attacking.
Immediately, Qin Jun rushed out frantically, grabbed the things in the basket, and without looking at them, he stuffed them into the innermost.
Gulp down.
Stuff it back and put it in your robe.
There are too many Qin soldiers.
When the Qin army in the entire Light Wolf City heard that there was something to eat, they were all crazy to rush out.
At the city gate, many people crowded together and were stuck at the city gate, but they couldn't get out and didn't let each other go.
The people in the back are also frantically squeezing to the front.
Some of the Qin troops were pushed down by the people behind.
Then he was trampled on by countless feet, the feet of the robe.
No matter how much you struggle, how you cry, how you curse, all to no avail, and finally it will be dull.
Sima Shang actually watched it with relish, and took out the dried meat from his robe and tasted it carefully.
Many Qin troops had already rushed out, scrambling for food.
In the face of extreme hunger, titles, ranks, have no meaning.
There are only the most primitive desires that govern everything.
Sima Shang smiled and watched a Qin Jun holding a pair of untreated horse intestines, and directly stuffed them into his mouth.
After chewing a few times, I found that I couldn't bite it, and I wanted to swallow it hard.
But then I was disgusted by the contents of my intestines.
Subconsciously spit it out.
I just wanted to pick it up, but found that the intestine had been picked up by Paoze.
Hungry to the extreme, reason has long been forgotten, where is there any concept of robes in my heart.
Dare to snatch my intestines, good!
The intestines are so long that only one piece is stuffed into your mouth.
Then the rest will be strangled around your neck.
His complexion turned from ruddy to bruised, his chest suddenly calmed down, and his hands and feet, which were hard but weak, struggled constantly, but finally remained motionless.
At that moment, he found that being strangled alive by his own intestines was a robe, a robe that could be delivered to his back and lived and died together.
But then, the same story continued as the horse's intestine was snatched again.
The fierceness of the fight for food far exceeded that on the battlefield.
Many of the surrounding Zhao Jun gasped all the time, and the weapons in their hands became more and more clenched.
"Calm down, they don't have a thumb, they don't have a blade."
Sima Shang was a little worried that one of his subordinates would accidentally shoot arrows and hurt people, disturbing these already mad Qin troops, resulting in unnecessary casualties, and led people back a little again
He has always boasted that he was hard-hearted and very cruel, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he was glad that he was serving under Zhao Kuo.
When it comes to ruthlessness, he should be far inferior to Zhao Kuo, as long as Zhao Kuo is willing.
You don't use your own knife to kill.
And, rightfully so. Your Qin army killed so many of us, but instead of killing and surrendering, we also provided you with food.
The food is indeed average, but we ourselves are short of food, and these are all pulled out of the teeth.
Of course, it was between the teeth of those Zhao Jun's livestock.
As for the reasonable distribution of food, that is what your own Qin army should do.
Even if you surrender, don't you have a formation before, can't you come out according to the hundred-man team?
What is the difference between who receives it first and who receives it later? It's all robes.
Even if the commander and generals are gone, what about the captains and the generals, can't they command their subordinates?
Aren't the Qin people tigers and wolves?
If these grains had appeared a day or two earlier, the Qin army might not have been like this, with dogs and teeth intertwined, fists and fists fighting for meat.
But now, many Qin troops have starved to death, or are on the verge of starvation.
From attacking Duwei City to now letting the Qin army kill each other with some fodder, Zhao Kuo's grasp of people's hearts and human nature made Sima Shang very awe-inspired.
The next day, due to the agreement reached between Lian Po and Xinling Jun to exchange grain for the city, the Qin army was required to assemble immediately, go to Gaoping Pass, and go directly back to their Great Qin.
There were originally some messengers of the Qin army outside Gaoping Pass, as well as rangers who listened to the results of the battle, and they also had a small fight with the Zhao army troops in the past few days.
Zhao Kuo asked people to prepare some grain and grass for the Qin army, and put it in Gaoping Pass, one mile outside the gate of Duanshi City.
"Get out of the city quickly, take the grain and grass, and go back to your old Qin."
The Qin army had more than 300,000 troops, and it was mighty.
The Zhao army had to send more than half of the people to line up along Duwei City, armed with bows and crossbows, very vigilant.
On the Gaoping Gate, on both sides of the aisle, some simple fortifications were built, and a large number of Zhao Jun's palms holding the crossbow handle were sweating.
Except for Li Yun who led people to warn against the sneak attack of the Wei people, almost all the Zhao troops were assembled this time to prevent the Qin army from causing chaos.
It is very rare for the army to surrender more than the winner.
"Arrange according to your previous queue, one team for every hundred, and then another team after one. If you want to poop and pee, you will pull me directly in my pants. If any queue is messed up, shoot them all! Don't call us cruel, go down and talk to our robes that you buried alive. Sima Shang shouted, and his sergeants had directly shot and killed two Qin army hundreds.
Cheng Zhao stood at the gate, holding a large flag in his hand, paying close attention to the movements of the Qin army, ready to warn at any time.
Song Yi's sledgehammer man was draped all over his body, staring at Qin Jun viciously, obviously he hadn't killed enough.
Sima Yue led the cavalry around, and if any of the Qin troops were in turmoil, or exchanged heads, they galloped over and waved their whips. If you can't suppress it, you can use a crossbow and a long sword.
It took two full days for more than 300,000 Qin troops to surrender, and they were finally released from Gaoping Pass.
"Can it be done well, you don't have much grain and grass in front of you, not enough for us to eat two meals. In the wilderness, we're going to starve to death. ”
"That is, most of the grain and grass have been eaten by wild beasts."
"The rest was snatched up by the ones who went out first."
The voice outside Gao Pingguan was weak, but the pleading and helplessness inside were real.
"We didn't kill all of you, we have done our best. I have let you go, and you have nothing to eat, so go to your King Qin and come to us to make a noise.
If you don't leave, I'll kill you all as if you were going to storm the city. Sima Shang said viciously, and then stood in a place where all the Qin troops outside the city could see, and stuffed the white cake that he had just bitten into the mouth of the military dog next to him.
Gao Ping was closed, and the bed crossbow defending the city had been erected.
On the way back, I don't know how many Qin soldiers will be starved to death, or frozen to death, or killed by their own people for grabbing food.
In short, it has nothing to do with Zhao Kuo.
