The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the city tower, making the entire Jianmenguan city tower seem to be covered with a layer of golden light. But on the gate tower, there was a mourning spirit, each soldier lowered his eyebrows, raised his head, and looked listless.
Since yesterday, the food of the lieutenant soldiers has all been reduced. All the soldiers, even Prince Li Chengqian, only ate one meal, and it was gruel, not even half a bowl of dry rice, let alone meat. So from yesterday to today, the soldiers have been so hungry that their chests stick to their backs after two days. After all, a bowl of gruel will disappear after a few soaks.
Just at this time, outside the Jianmen Pass, the cook of the Xia State soldier appeared. One by one Xia Guo soldiers buried pots and cooked rice outside the pass, preparing for the evening meal. The smell of meat and rice permeated the air, and even the soldiers of the Tang army could see the sword gate closed, so the already hungry soldiers on the tower were so hungry that their stomachs growled.
One by one, they looked out of the city with longing eyes.
Because there are delicious food, meat and rice outside the pass, they can only drink a little gruel when they are on the tower. One by one, they couldn't eat, and they felt uncomfortable in their stomachs, and the morale of the army was even damaged.
After the fragrance diffuses, countless people will know it. We all know that Xia Guo's army is burying pots outside the city to cook and prepare dinner. The generals and soldiers of the Tang army were greedy, but they couldn't eat, and they felt even hungrier.
This news will be reported soon.
After Lu Deming got the news, he went to the checkpoint building to check, and saw the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom who were buried in the pots outside the checkpoint, and their expressions were even more gloomy. Because the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom outside the Jianmen Pass actually buried pots to make food, but there was no food in the pass.
The more I look at it, the more angry I get!
Lu Deming sighed, and there was nothing he could do about it.
There is no way to solve it.
Lu Deming could only tell the soldiers under his command that the food was already on the way, and in a few days, the army food would be replenished. It's just that the soldiers' hunger is a problem that can't be alleviated at all, so Lu Deming can at most comfort all the soldiers psychologically.
This evening was undoubtedly a nightmare for the officers and men of the Tang Army stationed at Jianmen Pass. Because they could smell the smell of meat and rice all the time, many people were so hungry that they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
This situation lasted for a long time before it ended.
Many officers and soldiers of the Tang army in the pass were made to feel uncomfortable. The morale of the army, which was already declining, collapsed even more, and many soldiers couldn't bear it even more. Some people who were hesitant at first became more determined to escape. After all, many people have already escaped at the moment.
When the night completely enveloped the entire Guannei camp, Wan Dadao had already led the soldiers to patrol the elongated camp to ensure that there would be no more deserters.
Inside the camp, in the northwest corner behind the camp.
But there are several soldiers together.
Be prepared to leave.
Among these soldiers, the leader was named Cao Xiong. With a serious expression on his face, he looked at several people and said, "Brothers, let's go, be careful, don't be spotted by Wan Dadao."
Cao Xiong is the leader.
He took the people out of the tent where he lived, and was about to leave. In fact, when Cao Xiong left, other people also left together. Many people who walked out of the camp looked at each other when they saw each other about to leave. Immediately, each avoided the other's eyes, and then quietly walked out of the camp as if nothing had happened.
This momentum is very powerful.
?Because the number of people appearing densely and densely is no less than a few hundred, or even close to a thousand. Suddenly last night, more than a hundred people left, many of them regretted in their hearts. If he had left, he wouldn't have left today. So countless people want to leave today. They are fed up with this kind of life. They can't win Xia Guo, and they will be suppressed everywhere. Even now, they can't even eat enough, and their stomachs are always growling with hunger. Very uncomfortable.
So leave immediately.
These people were not affiliated with each other at the beginning, and each had its own team. But it didn't take long, and people had already gathered together, after all, there were too many people.
Wan Dadao has already brought people here after receiving the report.
Beside Wan Dadao, there are more than a hundred soldiers.
Holding a spear, Wan Dadao looked around at the soldiers who were about to leave, and scolded: "A group of cowards, when they encounter the slightest difficulty, they want to escape and become deserters. His Royal Highness has issued an order, and the food will be delivered soon. .But you are going to be deserters now. Go back immediately, and I will pretend that I didn't see it. Otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."
The aura of the soldiers who were about to flee was immediately suppressed, and fear appeared in the eyes of many of them.Afraid of looks.
Some people are even more flustered.
Cao Xiong was also in the crowd. He hid himself and shouted: "Wan Dadao, if you want to stay and fight to the death, that's your business. But you can't drag us to die together! You couldn't win the fight, but now you can't even win." There is no food, we have never surrendered, and now we are going to leave quietly, is this wrong?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was immediately broken.
Originally, many people had fear and apprehension on their faces. At this moment, there is a ferocious air.
A person with a sharp complexion.
A person with an unwilling expression.
Why should they stay and die?
Obviously I can't stop it.
"General Wan, let us leave. You force us to stay, even if you keep us, you can't keep our hearts. The brothers have long since lost their will to fight, why bother?"
"General Wan, please raise your hand high."
"Wan Dadao, if you don't let him go, don't blame us for not talking about the past, and we are going to attack you."
Everyone talked in a hurry.
You talk to me, keep talking.
From the very beginning, I hoped that Wan Dadao would hold his hand high, and even asked Wan Dadao to let him go, and then threatened and forced Wan Dadao in the back, and made a tough response with Wan Dadao.
Under such a situation, Wan Dadao's face was cold and serious when he heard it, and his eyes were even more stern. He said coldly: "You are really looking for death, a bunch of wolf cubs. His Royal Highness treats you well. I didn't expect that a group of you would turn against you!" His Royal Highness, you should be killed."
"Come here, kill me!"
Wan Dadao immediately gave the order.
Following his order, Wan Dadao rushed out with a big gun in hand. More than a hundred soldiers behind him immediately launched an attack. This rush out, many people are subconsciously afraid, after all, fighting with real swords and guns is still scary.
However, Cao Xiong was in the crowd, his eyes flashed, he immediately shouted "Chong", and then shouted "Wan Dadao, please kill less people." As soon as people clamored, many people were eager to try, and rushed out at this moment.
Cao Xiong, the man, rushed to the front.
His eyes are piercing.
He went straight to Wan Dadao.
He is very clear that if he wants to escape, especially to facilitate the formation of a rout, if Wan Dadao is killed and thousands of people flee, that will cause great turmoil. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
