    "The Governor-General is victorious! The Governor-General is victorious!"

    Xiao Yi rode into the formation alone and killed Yan Liang, the "No. 1 general in Hebei Province" within Lily. He picked up the head with a boring blade and galloped in front of the two armies. Wherever he went, the soldiers under his command raised their arms and shouted like crazy.  Crazy!

    On the contrary, Yuan Jun's morale plummeted, as if he were mourning his heir. "My dear, who is Yan Liang? The number one general in Hebei and the bravest figure in the three armies were all beheaded by 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'. If others went up, wouldn't they die in vain?"  ?¡±

    "Wow!Wow!"

    The general was killed in battle, and his troops had no intention of fighting. Yuan Jun retreated like a tide, and took advantage of the situation to carry away Yan Liang's body. A famous general died on the battlefield, at least give him a decent funeral, and let him be laid to rest without his head.  It doesn't matter, just carve one out of sandalwood. Putting on a wooden head is much better than being a headless ghost!

    Yan Liang's death gave Yuan Jun a blow and completely destroyed their courage to break through. The defenders gained the upper hand and took over the command in due course. They ordered all the troops to stand guard and wait for reinforcements. Anyone who broke through without permission - beheaded!

    Yuan Jun no longer broke through, and Xiao Yi did not attack. He just continued to build barriers, dig trenches, and strengthen blockades. He assumed a posture of protracted war. The battle situation entered a stalemate stage!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Eh!Eh! Eh!"

    The battle situation has reached a stalemate, and the soldiers' stomachs cannot stop. As long as they survive for a day, they have to eat. The army's food and grass are exhausted, so they can only continue to slaughter the war horses. Every day in Yuan Jun's camp, the neighing of the dying war horses can be heard.  Full of sadness and heartbreaking!

    No one was willing to slaughter their own horses, but Yuan Jun was forced by his hungry stomach. In desperation, the soldiers had to exchange mounts with each other, kill them with tears in their eyes, and eat the meat.  'Taste it!

    However, the number of war horses is limited. It is impossible for all 80,000 soldiers to be fed. They can only be distributed according to their positions. First of all, the generals must be ensured. No matter how bad the situation is, they will be the first to enjoy it and eat the leftovers.  Talents are distributed to ordinary soldiers. This is the privilege of the superior, both during life and after death!

    Secondly, there are the soldiers who protect the front line. They patrol day and night, which is extremely hard. If they don¡¯t eat, they don¡¯t have the strength to fight. Therefore, each person can get a piece of horse meat, which is barely half full. As for the ordinary soldiers, several people share a piece of horse meat.  It would be great to have some soup!

    The most pitiful ones are the wounded soldiers. They were injured in the previous breakout battle and lost their combat effectiveness. These useless people are no longer qualified to consume precious food. They are thrown into the wilderness and left to wail and cry.  Starve to death, or kill yourself!

    The purpose of holding on is to wait for reinforcements, but no one knows when the reinforcements will arrive. Some people have done some calculations. After the messengers break out, if they are lucky, they can steal a horse and then work hard to arrive in about ten days.  Jincheng!

    General Wen Chou received the emergency report, set up camp, got rid of the enemy's pursuit, and then marched day and night to advance all the way to Kongshuichuan. It would take at least fifteen days. In other words, in theory, reinforcements would appear after twenty-five days.  , everyone will be saved!

    Of course, twenty-five days is just a theoretical number. No one can predict what the actual situation will be. What if the couriers are caught by the enemy, or if they escape but cannot steal the horses and run on only two legs?  Delivering letters at such a speed makes people cry just thinking about it!

    It is also possible that the envoy stole the horse and ran all the way without breaking the horse's legs and fell to death; he encountered a wild beast and was eaten, or he lost his way and could not find General Wen Chou's camp Various situations are possible.  It happens!

    Therefore, twenty-five days is a theoretical number, and one month is a hoped-for number. It is not surprising if it exceeds one month. There is even a possibility that the reinforcements will never come, or they will come too late and can only be given to the soldiers.  We have collected the corpses. It¡¯s hard to predict what God¡¯s will will be!

    Eighty thousand officers and soldiers of Yuan's army, ranging from commander-in-chief Yuan Shang to ordinary soldiers, looked east every day, expecting Wen Chou's army to arrive. They cooperated internally and externally, not seeking victory, as long as they could escape, and then ran all the way back to Hebei.  , Never come to this ghost place again, let alone encounter that 'killing god'-like enemy!

    "The word 'hold on' is easy to say, but in practice, it is simply harder than climbing to the sky. Not only is there a shortage of food, but there is also a lack of other things. The army is completely in dire straits!

    On the sixth day, the army ran out of fuel. Firewood, fodder, clothing, tents, arrow shafts everything that could be burned was used up. The dry river was in ruins, and there was no firewood for the army to use. From this day on  , Yuan Jun soldiers could only eat horse meat raw.!

    On the tenth day when the army was trapped, everyone could not even eat raw meat. All the horses in the army were slaughtered. Except for the mounts of the generals, all other mules and horses were eaten by the 80,000 army. Next, they could only eat some  It¡¯s not about food anymore!

    Horse hides, horse intestines, horse hooves these wastes were picked up and became the soldiers' survival rations. Even the horse bones became good things. After smashing them, you can lick the marrow and oil residue inside

    On the fifteenth day, the horse bones were gone. Yuan Jun went crazy, like a group of hungry beasts, devouring everything that could be put into his mouth, saddles, whips, leather armor They were all cut into pieces and swallowed alive.  , because these things are too rough and seriously damage the stomach and intestines. From time to time, soldiers fall to the ground and die. At this point, human nature gradually disappears, and animal nature begins to rise

    In the middle of the night, people were moving around in the camp, and from time to time there were soldiers with red eyes and hungry eyes wandering around with weapons in hand. They were looking for food. As for what the food looked like they walked on two legs, holding weapons in their hands.  The law of the jungle depends on who eats whom. When hunger reaches its peak, human flesh is also a good thing!

    In the desperate situation, military discipline was also lost. Fights occurred from time to time. In order to fight for a mouthful of food, soldiers did not hesitate to draw swords at each other. There was even a fight for a bone, killing and injuring dozens of people. The prestige of the generals also plummeted.  Disobedience to military orders abounded, and deserters also appeared!

    It¡¯s no wonder that Yuan Jun¡¯s soldiers are not determined. On the one hand, the feeling of starvation is too uncomfortable. Everyone joins the army just to have a full meal. Now they can¡¯t even eat, and they have to worry about becoming someone else¡¯s food.  How do you get through the day?

    On the other hand, the opponent's tactics were too wicked. Every time they ate, the aroma of food wafted from the enemy's side. Destroyed by hunger, Yuan Jun's sense of smell was particularly sensitive. They relied on the smell to know whether the opponent was eating steamed buns or steamed buns.  Nibble on the buns and even smell what the fillings are

    ¡°It¡¯s time to eat. Today we¡¯re eating big steamed stuffed buns stuffed with pork, and some broth, with salt and spices added¡±

    ¡°I¡¯m getting tired of eating meat buns every day. Let¡¯s have the Huotoujun try something new tomorrow. How about we roll the meat into a big cake?¡±

    "It's just a piece of noodles with a piece of meat, nothing new. The governor has given an order to reward the three armies tonight, roast a whole lamb, and drink wine"

    "Hoar!Hoar!throwing meat and bones,keep going!"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Every time it was time to eat, the surrounding hills would bang the rice bowls and make various shouts. Some naughty soldiers would even throw down a few half-gnawed meat bones, allowing the Yuan troops to rob each other, like a group of vicious dogs.  Like

    Hungry and in the presence of good food, no matter how strong a person is, he will give in. Every night, Yuan Jun soldiers leave their posts and quietly walk to the surrounding hillsides. Don't worry, they are not there to attack, but to surrender. Being a prisoner is better than being a prisoner.  A hungry ghost is a hundred times stronger!

    There were groups of three to five people, groups of seven or eight, and Yuan soldiers fled every night. Eventually, thousands of people fled in one night. The generals were unable to stop them, and they didn't dare to stop them. The hungry and red-eyed soldiers were all carrying their weapons.  , to prevent them from foraging, isn't that asking for death? What's more, some captains couldn't bear the hunger and joined the escape

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After holding on for the twenty-fifth day, Yuan Shang was completely desperate. Most of his soldiers fled, and the rest were half dead. They had no fighting power. There was nothing to eat. Even his mount was eaten by a group of hungry soldiers.  It's all gone. I have been surviving on "dark meat" these days

    "Dark meat" is the name for human meat. Because it is meat obtained in the dark, it is disgusting to think about it. I am extremely hungry, but it tastes just as sweet!

    "Mr. Yuan Tu, if it doesn't work out, let's negotiate peace with Xiao Lang. As long as we let me live, everything will be easy to negotiate!"

    Yuan Shang cursed with a sad face, and said in a more tactful way, "peace" actually means surrender. At this point, he can give up on everything from seeking kingship and hegemony to land and city. As long as he can return to Hebei safely, he will give up.  It¡¯s okay for Xiao Yi to bow three times and kowtow nine times!

    "There are only commanders who died in battle, and no generals who surrendered. The third young master cannot lose the reputation of the Yuan family. In times of extreme difficulty, my subordinates are willing to help the young master to die for justice!"

    Feng Ji's eyes were blood red and he held the sword tightly. He had already made up his mind and would rather die than be humiliated. At the last moment, he killed Yuan Shang and then committed suicide. At least he would have a strong reputation, which was much better than becoming a prisoner and surrendering to the enemy.  !

    "Mr. Yuan Tu, I don't want to" Yuan Shang opened his mouth and was about to burst into tears when war drums suddenly sounded outside the camp

    "Boom! Boom!Boom! Boom!"

    The war drums were thundering, from far to near, clearly reaching everyone's ears. Yuan Shang shook his head, and after confirming that it was not an hallucination due to hunger, he immediately jumped up. There was no mistake. This rhythm was definitely that of Hebei soldiers and horses.  In other words "Wen Chou's reinforcements have arrived!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?!  "
