Chapter 815

Ren Fang had no intention of rescuing the trapped Huan army, but Huan's envoys traveled day and night to the camp of the Sichuan-Zhen coalition and asked Ren Fang to send troops to rescue. Read the full text.

In any case, Huan Guo is an ally after all. Now that they have come to the door, Ren Fang cannot refuse. He said he agreed, but in fact he didn't have much hope in his heart about whether Huan Jun could be rescued. The latest chapter.

He had not been to the battlefield in person, but he had carefully read the battle reports. Feng Jun's strategy was not clever. Without Shangguan Yuanrang, anyone could have noticed the flaw in this strategy of luring the enemy into a trap. Since Huan's army is chasing the enemy, speed is important. It is impossible for the army to carry baggage. The food and grass are only enough for one or two days at most. Now that they are trapped in a desperate situation, it will be good if they can last for four or five days. But now Sichuan The Zhenlian Army had just arrived in Anguo. Even if they marched quickly to get there, it would take at least nearly a month. Can the trapped Huan Army survive such a long time? I'm afraid I'll starve to death.

Furthermore, the Feng Army has already entered Mo Country to fight, and our own army of millions rushes to the rescue regardless of the situation. What if we fall into the Feng Army's trap?

Due to various concerns, Ren Fang agreed readily. In fact, the march of the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces did not speed up and remained as it was.

Nie Ze, the commander-in-chief of Zhenguo, was very dissatisfied with his decision. It's not that Nie Ze hoped to rescue Huan's army, he just felt that Ren Fang's marching speed was too slow. In the past, when An and Huan's armies were around, he had no objection to this speed. He also wanted to use An and Huan's armies to explore the way. Stone, but now that both armies are finished, we need to go into battle on our own side. If we maintain this speed, isn't it delaying the fighter plane?

Nie Ze and Ren Fang were both generals, and he was more than ten years older than the latter. However, Ren Fang was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces. He did not agree to march at full speed. Nie Ze had no choice but to report secretly to his monarch. It would be unfavorable to lead the army, there is suspicion of cowardice, the commander of the coalition forces needs to be replaced, and other such complaints.

In fact, Ren Fang's concerns were very reasonable. The Huan army trapped in Death Valley did not survive for less than a month. After only three days, the Huan army began to find it difficult to support.

Not only were food and water supplies in short supply, but the critical factor was that the injured did not receive adequate medical treatment. Huan Jun’s medicines were all used up on the first day. In the next two days, the wounded did not have medicine to apply to their wounds, and the wounds began to Inflammation and suppuration began, and people began to have high fevers. As a result, the water in the army was used up faster.

Under such conditions, minor injuries turned into serious injuries. Seriously injured soldiers often closed their eyes and never opened them again. The huge canyon, no matter day or night, was filled with the intermittent and continuous screams of wounded soldiers. Feng Jun on the mountain was tortured by the endless sound of pain and could not sleep. Huan Jun in the canyon could imagine that people were going crazy with the pain, and some even wanted to take up weapons and kill all the injured people. ***.

Three days later, there was not a drop of water or a grain of food left in Huan's army. The eyes of Huan's soldiers were so hungry that their eyes glowed blue. By night, the killing of soldiers and horses began to break out on a large scale.

Infantrymen have no feelings for their horses, but cavalry regard their horses as their lives. When they find a group of soldiers rushing towards their horses, the cavalry rushes to stop them. As a result, in front of the hungry and irrational soldiers, they either He was knocked to the ground, or stabbed to death with random blades.

At this time, Huan Jun's situation began to get out of control.

But how could the few war horses in the Huan army be enough to feed 80,000 people? After all the horses in the army that could be killed were eaten, people began to eat the grass on the ground. Some people even used knives to scrape the moss on the stone walls before they could grab the grass stems.

Five days later, there was nothing left to eat in the valley. At this time, the most cruel scene happened, people cannibalizing people!

Up to now, nothing in the valley looks like the human world, but it is the world of hungry ghosts in the six realms of reincarnation.

It's not that Xu Qing didn't control his soldiers, but that he couldn't control them at all. In the face of the most basic human needs, his orders seemed insignificant, and no one listened to him at all.

Under this situation, Xu Qing still survived for seven days. Seven days later, even he was so thirsty and hungry that he wanted to eat human flesh and drink human blood. He could not hold on any longer, and he could not wait for the arrival of reinforcements. At this time, Xu Qing finally gave him the order of his life. The most difficult order to give was to surrender the entire army.

At the end of the first battle to break out of the encirclement, there were still more than 80,000 Huan troops. Seven days later, when they all surrendered, there were 10,000 fewer people. Some of them died of illness, some were killed, and some were eaten alive. . When the Feng Army accepted the more than 70,000 surrendered troops, no one could tell how they felt.

The officers and soldiers of the Huan Army were all sallow and thin, with sunken eye sockets. They looked like starving ghosts. When they saw that Feng Jun had brought food, countless Huan soldiers rushed forward, grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths. Many of them took a few bites. He held his throat and fell to the ground, coughing. As for the wounded in the Huan Army, many people did not know how to save them. The wounds were rotten and maggot-infested on a large scale, and the people were already dying and half dead... Liang Qi specially asked Xu Qing, the commander of the Huan Army, to be invited into his In the tent. It was said that it was an invitation, but in fact it was just a treat. Xu Qing was so weak that he could not even stand firmly without drinking water or eating pellets for days.

Liang Qi was still very polite to his defeated general. After inviting Xu Qing to take a seat, he specially brought wine and meat.

Xu Qing wanted to be polite, but he couldn't. He grabbed the piece of meat on the plate and gulped it down. After only a few bites, he bent over and vomited. Liang Qi looked around with a wry smile. All the generals and people were shaking their heads. No one saw Xu Qing's joke now, they just felt very pitiful.

Tao Yu stepped forward, supported Xu Qing kindly, and said, "General Xu may not have eaten for many days. It is not advisable to eat too quickly now. Let's drink some wine first."

Xu Qing was obedient, picked up the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp.

After a glass of wine, a touch of color finally returned to his pale face. He sat on the mat and let out a long sigh.

After he calmed down for a while, Liang Qifang said with a faint smile: "General Xu, you have suffered a lot these days."

Xu Qing swallowed his foam and raised his eyes to look at Liang Qi. After a moment, he suddenly realized that the young man sitting in the middle should be the coach of the Fengyang Army.

He stood up in a hurry, knelt on the ground with a plop, lowered his head and said: "The defeated general, see the general!"

Now that he is a prisoner, they have the power of life and death for him and the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. How dare he not show caution and respect? !

Liang Qi smiled, waved his hand and said, "General Xu, you're welcome. Please get up quickly."

"Thank you General."

"My name is Liang Qi, and I am the commander-in-chief of the Feng Kingdom's Sanshui Army."

"I know." Of course Xu Qing knew that his opponent was the Sanshui Army, and of course he knew that the commander of the Sanshui Army was General Liang Qi of the Feng Kingdom.

Liang Qi nodded and said with a smile: "On the battlefield, if there is anything that offends General Xu, I hope General Xu will not take offense."

Unexpectedly, Liang Qi would be so polite to him. Xu Qing was flattered and hurriedly leaned forward and said, "General, you are too polite. I should really thank the general for showing mercy."

Liang Qi straightened his face and said: "Fenghuan and Fenghuan have never had any grudges. On the contrary, businessmen from the two countries often communicate with each other. I don't know why your country suddenly sent troops to invade Fengguo this time?"

This sentence stopped Xu Qing from asking, and he didn't know how to answer. If he said that Feng State held the emperor hostage, and Huan State sent troops to attack him, he was looking for death. If he said that Huan State did not dare to offend the two countries of Sichuan and Zhen, he responded to the call of the two countries and sent troops. , and it seems too embarrassing. Xu Qing hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time, and beads of sweat appeared on his anxious forehead.

Liang Qi did not embarrass him, and said quietly: "It stands to reason that the two countries are at war, the two armies are fighting each other, and they regard each other as mortal enemies. Today, General Xu is forced to surrender with his army. I should kill them all..."

When Xu Qing heard this, his head buzzed and he almost collapsed to the ground on the spot. He waved his hands repeatedly and said urgently: "General...general...no...no..."

Liang Qi raised his hand to interrupt him and continued: "However, as I said just now, there has never been any grudge between you and me. The battle in Mo Country this time was also inexplicable. I decided not to kill you. And let you go back to the country. I just hope that General Xu will see His Royal Highness King Huan after returning to the country, and prove that I, Dafeng, have no intention of being an enemy of the Huan Kingdom. I also hope that the Huan Kingdom will not use troops against me, Dafeng. Today's battle will be all over. When there is a misunderstanding, I, Dafeng, will not pursue it, but if your country raises troops to invade again next time, my Dafeng’s tiger and wolf army will kill them all, and my Dafeng’s cavalry will definitely set foot on the territory of Huan Kingdom. , blood for blood, tooth for tooth!”

Liang Qi, who looked like a scholar, spoke these words sonorously and forcefully, his eyes shot out with terrifying light, and the sense of oppression and momentum he exuded made all the generals in the Feng Army look at him with admiration.

In the eyes of the generals, Liang Qi was a treacherous and cunning fox on the battlefield, a genius who was good at strategizing and strategizing, but it was rare to see him show off the style of a general.

Xu Qing was sweating profusely and couldn't answer the question at all. He just nodded in agreement.

The coldness on Liang Qi's face quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual softness. He smiled and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say. If General Xu is willing, he can stay in our military camp for a few more days."

"No, no, no, I don't dare. I... want to leave for home immediately..." Xu Qing dared not stay in Feng Camp any longer. Liang Qi was now happy and decided to let everyone on his side go, but who knows when he will If you are not happy, why do you want to execute everyone on your side?

In a place of right and wrong, it’s better to leave early!

Liang Qi looked at Xu Qing amusedly and asked: "The country of Mo is also far away from the country of Huan. General Xu is sure that his soldiers have the strength to return home now?"

"This..." Not to mention the soldiers under his command, even Xu Qing himself does not have the physical strength to travel long distances now.

Liang Qi smiled and said, "General Xu can stay here with peace of mind. Our army will leave tomorrow and will leave behind tents and sufficient food and grass. Your army will not be allowed to live in the barren mountains and ridges, suffering from cold and hunger."
