Chapter 340: Killing Horses for Food

"Whew."

The rapid breathing suddenly became the only sound at this moment, and two thick white gases came out of the mouth and nose of the war horse under his crotch, and at this moment, Ying Fei was a little embarrassed.

His body was covered with ashes, his clothes were stained black, and his hair was as messy as withered grass because of the high temperature.

"Phew."

Passing through the Sanguan in one breath and traveling dozens of miles in a hurry, this made the strength of the four thousand light horsemen exhausted. Strangled the black horse, Ying Fei stretched out his left hand, shouted, and said.

"The whole army stopped advancing and rested in place."

"No."

The weak answer is enough to reflect the state of the army at this moment. Hearing this, Ying Fei's eyes flashed, and she turned over and dismounted.

The continuous running, the scorching heat of the monstrous fire, all this made him thirsty.

"Water."

Hearing Ying Fei's voice, Guo Jia casually handed over the water bag. Feeling something different in her hand, Ying Fei took the water bag and raised her head to pour it wildly.

"Boom."

"Boom."

"Boom."

……

The water in the water bag ran down the corner of the mouth and down the neck. The biting coldness made Ying Fei feel refreshed, and he turned his head to pass the water bag over.

"Haha......"

The laughter rang out after a moment's stunned. Ying Fei held the water bag in her left hand and pointed at Guo Jia, laughing rudely.

"My lord, what's wrong with Jia?"

Ying Fei's inexplicable actions made Guo Jia stunned, and his expression turned neat, and he said towards Ying Fei.

"No problem."

Suppress the laughter, the smile in the corner of Ying Fei's eyes is still full, and she can't restrain it at all. This is not that his laughter is low, but that Guo Jia has a big face at this moment.

From meeting Guo Jia in the Shili Peach Blossom Forest to today, for three years, Ying Fei has never seen such an embarrassed Guo Jia.

The clothes were messy, and the handsome face was covered with soot, and then after the sweat stirred, it was white and black, which was very joyful.

……

"Lin Feng."

"My lord."

Suppressing the laughter, Ying Fei frowned slightly, and the army was advancing at a rapid pace, but he did not find out the situation of the army. And this rest, he was surprised to find that the four thousand light cavalry suffered heavy casualties.

"Count the casualties, order the doctor, and treat the wounds quickly."

Running wildly all the way, casualties are inevitable. In the mountain streams, falling trees fall, and sometimes soldiers die tragically and are burned. Looking at this moment, the situation of the army, Ying Fei felt a little prescient in her heart.

"No."

Watching the doctor go out and deal with the soldier's wounds, Ying Fei smiled slightly. When the army was first established, he ordered doctors to be called up to serve in the army.

Ying Fei knows in her heart that in dealing with this kind of emergency, the doctor is far more professional than herself. The ancients marched and fought wars, plagues, and war wounds were the biggest reasons for the death of soldiers.

"My lord, what should I do now?"

Just when Ying Fei was complacent, Guo Jia's voice came from her ears.

Coming back to her senses from the depths of her heart, Ying Fei's eyes flashed, looked at Guo Jia, smiled lightly, and said, "At this time, the army has suffered heavy casualties, and it is not suitable to continue to advance."

Glancing at the soldiers around him, Ying Fei pointed to the sky and said, "What's more, it's late at this time, which is not conducive to marching. Set up camp in the same place until the day comes. ”

"Hmm."

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, his eyes shrunk, and he said towards Ying Fei.

"This place is at least more than 50 miles away from Gudao County. It will take half a day for the army to gallop and advance at full speed. However, at this time, in order to avoid the fire, the army was completely destroyed. ”

"Sss

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Ying Fei realized how dangerous the situation of the army was at this moment. The destruction of the baggage not only means that the army is short of food and grass, but also the beginning of the instability of the army.

"Huh."

The eyes of the two people collided in an instant, and they were solemn and rich. The army is trapped here, fifty miles away from Gudao County in front, and there is a danger in the back.

At this time, it is really called that the heavens should not be, and the earth is not spiritual. Moreover, being stationed here means that it has become a top priority to solve the rations of today's army.

"My lord."

The silence was interrupted by Lin Feng's voice. Ying Fei's eyes moved, turned her head to look at Lin Feng, and said.

"How?"

"Our army suffered 500 wounds, and in three days, there was no combat strength. One hundred and twenty deaths. There are only more than 3,200 troops left, and they have the strength to fight a battle. ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Ying Fei fell silent for a moment. led the army south, and without even seeing the enemy's face, the army suffered thousands of casualties, and there were less than 2,000 people who could fight.

This is the first time Ying Fei has suffered such a loss. At the beginning, when the army was conscripted to fight the Taiping Road riot, even if it faced Bocai's 200,000 army, or the army came to Qingzhou, it was not like this.

"My lord, the army is completely ruined, and there is no grain and grass. Now, what if? ”

Facing the gaze of the captain of the firehead army, Yingfei's eyes were stunned. At this moment, Ying Fei suddenly found that he had reached the end of the world.

Ying Fei looked at the stream not far away, his expression instantly became silent, and he muttered for a while, and said, "Select a burned war horse, kill the horse to boil meat porridge."

"Sss

……

As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a monstrous wave, and instantly made the entire army commotion.

"My lord, it's not right."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed with light, and he said towards Ying Fei.

"My lord, don't."

……

At this moment, almost all the soldiers, as well as Guo Jia and others, were dissuading. For this light horse, the war horse is their second life.

……

War horses are sacred, and they are ominous to kill!

As a soldier, Ying Fei agrees with this sentence very much. Throughout thousands of years in China, there have been people who kill people for food, and there are those who eat grass roots, but few armies kill horses and eat meat.

"Whew."

Ying Fei did not answer everyone's objections. This decision is heavy, and its blow to Ying Fei cannot be described in words at all.

With a deep breath, Ying Fei sat down on the spot. He looked at the stream not far away, listening to the sound of gurgling water, and his face was expressionless. It was as if this sentence suddenly drained Ying Fei's strength.

"Kill."

A cold voice spat out of Ying Fei's mouth. Despite everyone's opposition, Ying Fei still did not change her decision. No matter how reluctant he is in his heart, it will not help.

At this moment, Ying Fei is far more rational than anyone else. For this army, the only way to survive at this moment is the most fundamental problem.

Only by living can there be a way out, and only then can we see the dawn and the dawn. And killing horses is the premise of all this.

"No."

Ying Fei's order was unquestionable, and the commander of the Huotou Army turned around and left. In the sword-like gaze of the soldiers, select the war horse that is too badly burned.

……

"If it weren't for that, the army would have died!"

Sensing that a person was sitting next to him, Ying Fei's eyes were heavy, and he sighed softly.

Hearing this, Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and he turned towards Ying Fei and said, "Having said that, all the soldiers are reluctant!"
