"Mutiny? How dare they?!"
Mingwu glared and said,
"If all our horses are killed, how can we break out? If Ren Jun's army is blocked, are we going to stay here and wait to die?"
The general said quickly,
"Commander, of course we can't kill our own horses. We must keep the horses of our generals. What I mean is that killing the horses of those chariots and soldiers and eating meat and soup can temporarily alleviate the predicament. ah."
Mingwu nodded and said,
"This is the only way, but this is not a long-term solution. We still have to break out. In this way, we will kill the horses and eat their meat. We will organize a breakout tonight. If we don't break out, we will all die in a few days. it's here.
After all, Ren Jun is an outsider and cannot be relied upon. We still have to rely on ourselves. "
"Commander, I agree with the breakout, but we can't attack the enemy camp.
The enemy's camp is as solid as a rock, and there are still 300,000 troops. If we 40,000 to 50,000 people break out, we are looking for death.
Each of these soldiers was very hungry, and they were afraid that they would be like the traitors outside and surrender as soon as they ran there.
If we really want to break through, we have to go south. "
"To the south? There are rivers to the south. How to go? Swim there in this winter? Everyone will freeze to death."
Mingwu said bitterly.
"Oh, my commander, isn't there a mountain behind us? The mountains are full of wood. Let's just cut the wood and build a raft. How easy it is.
After building the raft, we can go directly from the south and come directly to the west of the river. The enemy troops are all in the east of the river, so we can't chase them even if we want to. "
Hearing this, Mingwu's eyes widened and he said repeatedly,
"It makes sense, it makes sense! Why didn't you tell me earlier if you had such a good idea? Let's do it this way. After we break out, we go straight to Nanhe County. We can defend the city there and have food to eat. How wonderful!"
At that moment, Mingwu ordered the entire army to kill their horses. After the soldiers were fed, they all went up the mountain to cut down trees.
He arranged it well, but!
He is out of touch with reality.
The battle last night was very fierce, and most of his horses were killed. All the pack horses in the military camp were taken away by Yue Dongwen. There were not many chariots and soldiers who escaped, probably only a few dozen horses. .
After the horses are killed, they will all be cooked and eaten. But after they are cooked, who will be given to them first?
It must be given to senior generals first.
If the generals don't stock up on some meat, are they going to starve to death?
Let the big soldiers starve to death. They are just untouchables, but I am a noble.
General Guang and the commanders all took away most of the meat, and these people only accounted for a small part of the entire army.
And most of the soldiers had to share a small portion of the remaining meat.
Soldiers also have ranks. The centurion must take the lead, then the captain. When it is the soldier's turn, there is no more meat in the pot.
Most of the soldiers could only drink some soup.
Seeing that the officers were all eating with their mouths full of oil, and they could only drink water until they were full, and they were hungry again as soon as they peeed, the resentment in the hearts of the soldiers became even more intense.
After they were "full", they had to work. They had to go up the mountain to cut down trees. Many soldiers had no strength when cutting down trees, so they sat on the ground, pulled out the dry bark, bit into it desperately, and then watched Watching the former comrades singing and dancing happily outside the Fengjun camp in the distance, I cried silently.
The bark is dry and hard, making it difficult to bite. It will sting your throat when you swallow it, making it very uncomfortable.
The guards of the generals whipped them one by one in a show of force, telling them not to slack off in their work.
After all, in the eyes of the senior generals, these soldiers were well fed.
The day passed like this. There was a lot more wood in the military camp, and there were also a lot more soldiers who were too hungry to walk.
That night, all the soldiers who surrendered from Nie Chen's camp also went back. They had eaten well today. Looking at their former comrades who were starving in the distance, they felt even more superior and had a greater sense of identification with Nie Chen. .
Another day passed, and Mingwu's military camp became lively again, but this time it was not lively because of food, but the roar of the officers.
Many soldiers were kicked out and questioned by their superiors.
"Get up! Get up, everyone! Who the hell killed my horse?"
"Get out of here, who took away the horsemeat from my tent last night? Are you all tired of living? If you don't admit that I chopped you all up, tell me who it is?"
"Who did all this? Are you too brave to eat the heart of a bear? Do you dare to touch my things? Are you impatient?"
"General Wang's horse was killed. Who did it?"
"Search their tents for me to see who has bones and where there are burned ashes!"
The generals were furious. These stupid untouchables actually killed their horses in the middle of the night. How dare they break into their tents and steal meat?
If you dare to enter the camp to steal things today, you will dare to enter the camp to kill me tomorrow. This matter must not be tolerated!
As the guards searched, the soldiers' tents were turned upside down. Some found bones in the corners, some found horse heads and hair outside, and some found hidden cauldrons, and Burnt charcoal.
Some found the suspects in the tents and arrested and beat the entire team. Others found no suspects and would just randomly capture a team and beat them to scare the monkeys.
Not long after, hundreds of people were hung up and beaten. The scene was extremely spectacular, with endless screams.
Mingwu then drove the soldiers up the mountain to cut firewood. Some soldiers went up the mountain, while others guarded the wall.
Many large pots were placed in the open space outside the camp. Meat and rice began to be cooked in the large pots. The aroma of the food wafted over again, smelling in the noses of the hungry soldiers. They were already so hungry that they could not stand up. , now even more dizzy.
The surrendering soldiers outside the city were shouting loudly again, asking the people here to surrender. If they surrender, they will have food. If they surrender, they will be Da Feng Zhongliang and they will still be Feng Ren.
On the one hand, they are fellow Feng people, they have meat and rice, and they are all former comrades-in-arms.
On the one hand, there is the traitor Mingwu, who is cruel and unkind. He hangs hundreds of people and beats them in a trapped beast fight with no hope of victory.
Especially the soldier from yesterday who is still hanging and dead.
He just told the truth last night, without even complaining, and was hanged alive by Mingwu.
The soldiers knew which of the two sides was better and worse.
Guarding the gate of the camp was a group of soldiers, ten of them in total.
The squad leader was a captain, but he was no different from an ordinary soldier. He was so hungry that his chest was touching his back.
"I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore. I'm going to the other side. Those of you who are willing to follow me will open the camp gate and run after me. Those who don't want to go, just stay here and wait to die. I'll just pretend that I don't have this." Brothers."
