Chapter 46: Withdrawal

Yun Xiao didn't answer, just walked away quietly.

A woman who is carried away by hatred is equivalent to a mentally ill person, and it is better not to provoke such a person, otherwise the consequences will be severe.

Luan Ling didn't speak behind Yun Xiao, tears pouring out like a spring. The big beautiful eyes closed vigorously, squeezing out the excess water. Then he went crazy trying to eat, trying to cry. Tears were eaten along with the meal, and it was very bitter and astringent.

Luan Ling's tears flowed all over her cheeks, and Xiang Sanqiu's heart was dripping blood. A morning of fighting really shocked the old fighter, who had a superhuman psychological tolerance for casualties over his years of warfare. But when he saw the military bulletin from the captain, his heart seemed to have been violently struck. Especially when he saw the dozen or so people who were burned by the hot oil, the miserable screams hit his psychological limit at once. That voice should only exist in hell, and there can be no such sound on earth.

Xiang Sanqiu waved his hand helplessly. The lieutenants drew their swords and quickly brushed them down their throats. For some people, it's more comfortable to be dead than to be alive.

The casualties were 1,931, which was the total number of casualties in the morning.

"Bang" The old fist slammed into the handsome case, and Xiang Sanqiu's eyes were blood-red. It was the first time I had experienced such a battle in my 30 years in the army, and it was unheard of for 3,000 people to besiege a military village with only a few hundred people, and there were such casualties.

"General, are you asking for reinforcements from King Wu?"

"Ten thousand, less than two thousand. Five times more than the enemy, and there is still face to reinforce. ”

Xiang Sanqiu's words made the captain retreat in shame, no matter which general fought like this, he really couldn't explain it. I really didn't expect that the legendary Luan family soldiers would be so brave, and they would fight out two thousand Wu troops on the first day. But that can be regarded as killing Luan Bu, and there are some results.

But now that the army has been defeated, how can you explain this walled city?

"General, there is no way to do it. It's better for us to surround the city first, our army is now mostly cavalry, and the siege is insufficient, but the siege is still possible. ”

"That's the only way, the order is to besiege the military village, and send rangers to harass every day."

Xiang Sanqiu gritted his teeth and said.

For a whole afternoon, the soldiers of the Wu army were very peaceful. It's just that the trenches are constantly being dug and it looks like there are plans for a long-term siege. Yun Xiao is naturally not crazy enough to take the initiative to find trouble with them, so it's good not to attack. Now there is enough food in the military village to eat for two months, and it is impossible to say who will have no food to eat at that time.

The loud-voiced bear was sent out again, and Wu Jun was still asked to pull the bodies of the dead. This time there were a lot more, and the wall kept throwing them down. Today's cremation is much larger, and several huge bonfires continue to devour Wu Jun's corpse. Unlike last night, the corpses of the fallen were also burning inside the walled city.

"You can't just burn them!"

Luan Ling rushed over to stop it, and dozens of Luan family soldiers each wielded their blades, ready to fight for their brother's corpse at any time.

"There are not only people from your Luan family here, but also people from the Yan family. If you don't burn the corpses, there will be a plague after a long time, and the military village is so big, if you get the plague, everyone will die. Now I want you to choose whether to burn these corpses, or if we die with the plague. ”

Yun Xiao reached out and stuffed the torch in his hand into Luan Ling's hand.

"Kid, I know you're upset. We were sad, but we couldn't help it. The dead are gone, and the living cannot be allowed to bury them. ”

Yan Qing walked out on crutches, looking quite lonely. Even he thought that these Wu soldiers were coming for Luan Bu, and he didn't know how his old man would feel if he knew that these people came because his good son-in-law robbed King Wu's gold.

Luan Ling bit her lip and didn't speak again. Yan Qing's words were not something she could refute, and what Yun Xiao said was still so reasonable.

Yan Qing took the torch from Luan Ling's hand and raised his head to the sky.

"The old man has lived a lot of years, if you want to blame Yan Qing, it's Yan Qing's own responsibility."

Yan Qing's face was solemn, and there was a hidden sound of gold and stone in his words. The image of the old man became tall in an instant, as if the power of heaven and earth was above him, and everyone knelt down.

The torches fell in an arc on the corpse, and the raging fire slowly consumed the dead.

I am a little numb to the clouds of life and death, and I have seen more life and death in the past two months than in my previous life combined. People living in modern times are unable to understand the environment of the ancients, and floods, droughts, and locust plagues are constantly devouring life.

Some careerists have to carry out mass movements such as rebellion in addition to natural disasters. Yun Xiao understands history, and the years when the Han people really had enough to eat were more than 30 years after Taizong. During the so-called great rule in history, there were still many, many people starving to death. Yun Xiao finally understood why the Han people's festivals revolve around eating, eating dumplings during the New Year, zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, and moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because for thousands of years, the Han people have never really eaten enough.

However, there will still be some small exceptions in history, such as Yun Xiao is very full now. Xiang Sanqiu didn't eat enough.

The rations sent by the battalion became less and less, until there was no food for five days in a row. When the quartermaster reported to Xiang Sanqiu that the food stock was only enough for three days, Xiang Sanqiu realized the seriousness of the situation.

The fast horse urging food had been sent out the day before yesterday, but it had not returned until today. Xiang Sanqiu vaguely sensed what was happening.

Seven days ago, a fire in Huaisikou completely pushed King Wu into hell. When he learned that Zhou Yafu's 20,000 soldiers and horses had attacked Huaisikou and disappeared, he stayed in his chair.

"Lord Wang, please make up your mind early. The food and grass in the army could not last a few days. Wei Dai reminded cautiously beside him.

"In everything, the king must make up his mind, and what do you people want to eat?"

King Wu glared at Wei Dai and reprimanded.

"Well, for today's plan, there is only one way to defeat Zhou Yafu and Dou Ying. Then capture Luoyang, as long as you take Luoyang's Aocang. At that time, we had military rations, while the Han army did not have military rations. ”

Wei Dai clicked his little eyes, peeked at King Wu's expression, and said carefully.

"Okay, recruit Sanqiu back. We pulled out the camp and went to Luoyang. ”

Xiang Sanqiu did not get the military rations he deserved, but he was given the order to retreat.

"King Wu ordered us to retreat and asked us to return to the army to attack Luoyang."

Xiang Sanqiu said to the confused captains below.

"General, what to do here. We have been besieged for more than 20 days, is it not to rush again. ”

The captain of the halberd battalion said with some excitement. Most of his subordinates died in front of this military fortress, and he was really unwilling to leave like this.

The captain of the Sword and Shield Battalion had the same thoughts, and his men also suffered heavy casualties.

"King Wu's military order must not be disrespected, and the retreat must still be retreated. Well, the way to withdraw is already there. ”

Xiang Sanqiu thought for a long time, and finally opened his mouth.

"Look, there's a mountain forest here. At midnight today, I first led 3,000 Chinese troops to retreat to the mountains and forests to lay an ambush. Tomorrow morning, you will retreat with great fanfare. If he comes after him, then we'll ......."

Xiang Sanqiu made a neck-pinching gesture.

"The general means to lure the snake out of the hole?"

The captain of the Sword and Shield Battalion's eyes lit up and said excitedly.

"What if they don't come out?"

The captain of the Halberd Battalion asked.

"If they don't come out, you will stay here. There are still more than 1,000 of you, and the old man estimates that there are probably only more than 200 people left in the walled city. It's a little harder for you to storm the city, but it's okay to trap them. ”

"This is indeed a way to attack and retreat."

All the lieutenants agreed to Xiang Sanqiu's construction. That night, Xiang Sanqiu took 3,000 Chinese cavalry and quietly evacuated the Chinese army camp and went to the mountains and forests to ambush.

Xiang Sanqiu dealt with Yun Xiao wholeheartedly, and Yun Xiao dealt with Luan Ling wholeheartedly.

Since Luan Ling said those words, she seemed to have identified herself as Yunxiao's person. At night, he rushed into Yun Xiao's tent with a basin of water, and when he came up, he picked up Yun Xiao's boots, saying that he wanted to wash Yun Xiao's feet. The frightened Xiaobai almost bit someone. Yan Xian, who heard the news, seemed to be even more frightened, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and hurriedly came over with a basin of water to swear sovereignty.

The two sides held the basin of water like warriors with explosives bags, and the two pairs of bright eyes exchanged fierce fire in the air.

Yun Xiao couldn't understand, he confessed N times in his previous life without success, and finally pursued it for a few years before he tricked a woman into going home to give birth to herself. This traveled to the Han Dynasty and suddenly became a fragrant bait, not only a goddess-level real fiancée. There is even a savage girlfriend at the level of woe water.

If it is known by the guys of later generations, the traversers who line up to come to the Han Dynasty may be able to circle the earth several times.

It was easy to persuade Luan Ling, who was dead-eyed, and comforted Yan Xian, whose sovereignty was violated by Yanzhòng. made a solemn statement in front of Yan Xian that he was an inseparable part of Yan Xian. Any illegal occupation is unjustified and immoral and needs to be condemned. and was seriously concerned about Luan Ling's violation of Yan Xian's sovereignty.

A sovereignty crisis has finally dissipated under the pacification of the clouds. Yun Xiao stole several poems from Lord Shixian before he could reshape his glorious image.

This incident brought a strict sequelae, that is, the dead-eyed fat girl began to follow Yun Xiao all day long.

"Fat girl, don't follow Yunhou. Yunhou is going to inspect, and the walled wall is very dangerous and children can't be allowed to go. ”

"My aunt wants the fat girl to look at Yunhou, don't let other women snatch it."

"Fat girl, Yunhou wants to bathe Xiaobai. Xiaobai is very fierce and can bite. Children are not allowed to come closer. ”

"My aunt wants the fat girl to look at Yunhou, don't let other women snatch it."

"Don't follow Yunhou, I'm going to."

"My aunt wants the fat girl to look at Yunhou, don't let other women snatch it."

"I'm a god, goshawk got this girl away for me, I'm going to."
