I’m The King Chapter 880: : Huanghuang Hanwei (5)
He reached out and grabbed a handful of snow from the low bushes at his feet and stuffed it into his mouth. After chewing hard a few times, the snow melted, and the cold snow water flowed down his throat into his stomach, which aroused his stomach even more. A burst of burning discomfort and hunger have already plunged the entire army into despair
The heavy snow that has lasted for half a month has completely blocked the entire Xiaoshan Mountain. This Qi army, which fled into Xiaoshan in a hurry, fell into a trap.
Tian Jingwen's face is haggard. From the time he arrived at Xiaoshan Pass to stop the fight, he has lost nearly 20 pounds in a month. His tall and burly figure now only has a skeleton and deep eye sockets. With tangled, disheveled hair and beard, he looks very much like a savage
&nbs+Pig+Pig+Island+Novel+www+z+; This is true for leading generals, let alone ordinary soldiers. Desperation is spreading in this army
When Tian Jingwen first arrived at Xiaoshan Pass, Tian Jingwen had 5,000 soldiers, but now, there are only a thousand soldiers who can follow him struggling in Xiaoshan. During this period of time after entering the mountain, they died one after another, but now, dysentery and frostbite have started to wreak havoc among the troops again. I don't know how long I can survive
There were bursts of cheers in the distance, and Tian Jingwen was a little surprised. These days, the laughter of soldiers has been rarely heard
Qin Shan excitedly ran towards Tian Jingwen. Behind him, a few soldiers were running towards him with a huge beast on a pole. It was a blind bear. Look at that head. With four or five hundred catties, Tian Jingwen's eyes could not help but light up
"General, I was lucky today. I found a blind man who was in cat winter, and I overthrew him without any effort. Everyone can have a tooth sacrifice." Qin Shan smiled from ear to ear
A rare smile appeared on Tian Jingwen's face. Since they entered the mountain, almost all the birds and animals that could be found in the mountain have become the stomachs of the soldiers, but until now, it has been difficult to find, but looking around, seeing the soldiers, his heart skipped a beat The chest is tightened, what should I do tomorrow? After that, where is the way out? The winter in western Liaoning is long. Can your own army catch a blind bear every day? Where does such a large beast come from this Xiaoshan Mountain?
Finally, there was a trace of fireworks in the garrison, and puffs of green smoke rose straight up. Soldiers gathered around the cauldron, watching helplessly as the snow melted and pieces of meat and bones were thrown into the cauldron. In the pot, smelling the fragrance gradually rising, the throats of each soldier also slid up and down
This cat is a blind bear. During the winter, I ate myself plumply. I have just entered the winter, and the thick fat of my body has not been consumed much. It is the time when the fat is thick. But there are too many monks and too little porridge, even if there is no waste of skin, there is only one or two taels of dry goods assigned to each soldier.
Qin Shan picked up a thick piece of meat from the pot. Add a spoonful of soup, and bring it to Tian Jingwen, "General, drink it while it's hot!"
Tian Jingwen took the bowl, looked at the fat piece of bear meat in the bowl, stood up silently, walked to the cauldron, and threw the piece of meat back into the pot, "Boil more , messed up the meat!"
Looking at Tian Jingwen, Qin Shan silently threw the piece of meat back into the pot
The soldiers picked up bowls of broth one by one, and drank it in small sips. It's sweet, but it's just this seriousness, it makes me sour when I look at it
Suddenly there was a low cry from the soldiers. Qin Shan stood up suddenly, with an angry look on his face. A sign of weakness, weakness is contagious
The one who was crying was a soldier who looked extremely old. Judging by his face, he was at most sixteen or seventeen years old, and the beard on his lips hadn't fully grown yet.
"You, come out!" Qin Shan strode up to the soldiers and shouted angrily
The soldier walked up to Qin Shan with a bowl in his hands
"The warriors of the Qi State can shed blood but not tears!" Qin Shan roared, "You disturb our army's morale, what should you do, do you know?"
The young soldier raised his head and looked at Qin Shan, "General Qin, I want to go home!"
Qin Shan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling sore in his heart, but he held the handle of the knife at his waist and pulled it out inch by inch
"General Tan, although Xiaoer is young, he is very brave in combat and has a very flexible mind. At Xiaoshan Pass, he killed two or three soldiers of the Eastern Conqueror by himself. He was starved and confused." A low-ranking officer stood up, "Let's spare him this time."
Qin Shan said sternly: "A merit is a merit, and a fault is a side. He disturbed our army's morale and should be beheaded."
The knife was slowly unsheathed, and was about to lift it up, but the wrist was tightened, and someone held it. When I turned my head to look, it was Tian Jingwen standing beside me
"Brothers, do you all want to go home?" Tian Jingwen asked loudly
A moment of silence, the soldiers said in unison: "Yes, I want to go home"
"I also want to go home!" Tian Jingwen said loudly, "but if we want to go home, we must be able to hug each other and work hard to overcome the difficulties in front of us. We must survive before we can go home, right? ?”
"Yes!"
"If you want to survive, you have to cheer up first. Tens of thousands of soldiers who conquered the East have not been able to kill us. Could it be that this little Xiaoshan, this little snow can kill us?"
"No!" The soldiers roared
"Okay, we need to have this spirit, let's work hard together, live on, and go home!"
"Go home, go home!"
In the blink of an eye, Tian Jingwen swelled up the morale that was originally low. Qin Shan looked at Tian Jingwen in admiration. It was originally a matter of weakening the morale of the army, but General Tian reversed it in the blink of an eye.
When Tian Jingwen turned his head and turned his back to the soldiers, the agitated look just now disappeared without a trace, and everything he saw was white, and he didn't know where to go.
At this time, on another mountain far away from the mountain where Tian Jingwen led Qi soldiers, a small group of soldiers were sitting cross-legged on the ground, all wrapped in white cloaks , sitting there quietly, if they don't move at all, they don't look much different from a rock covered with snow
"Captain, cooking smoke, cooking smoke!" Suddenly a voice came from a big tree, and Zhang Xi, who was sitting on the snow and silently chewing dried mutton, stood up suddenly. Grabbing the trunk with both hands, he climbed up with a babble, and dozens of soldiers sitting cross-legged on the ground also stood up at once.
Looking from between the snow-covered branches, sure enough, on the opposite hill, wisps of cooking smoke are soaring up
One, two, three... Zhang Xi gently nodded and counted, "It should be them"
Sliding down from the tree pole, he walked among the soldiers, facing a thin middle-aged man with a tired face and three long beards above his chin, he said: "Qin Sir, they should be on the hill opposite us, we found them"
Mr. Qin, that is, Qin Shaowei, Tian Dan's chief counselor, also showed excitement on his face. It has been five or six days since the scout team of the East Conquering Army entered Xiaoshan, and finally Tian Jingwen is here. of
The arduous trek of the past few days has almost exhausted him. In the end, these soldiers took turns carrying him on their backs. Otherwise, he would definitely not be able to persist until this time, and be with these scouts Living for several days also gave Qin Shaowei a better understanding of Zhengdong Army
This group of dozens of soldiers is the scouts under the command of Zheng Xiaoyang of the Zhengdong Army. In Qin Shaowei's eyes, these soldiers are indifferent, tenacious, and strictly disciplined. Their equipment, even the best army in Qi State, cannot match it Compared with them, Qin Shaowei glimpsed some clues of the army conquering the East, and secretly lamented the defeat of the Qi people, not without reason
"Platoon Leader Zhang, let's hurry over to find them!" Qin Shaowei excitedly asked Tian Jingwen to lead an elite group back to China, but Tian Xiang and Gao Yuan finally won the result, Tian Jingwen was able to return to China one day sooner, bringing with him Returning to Prime Minister Tian’s order will allow Qi’s civil strife to come to fruition sooner, and it will be able to pull back Qi’s standing on the edge of a cliff a little bit. The military system of the Eastern Army is very strange, starting from the commander. , Army divisions, regiments, battalions and companies are arranged one level at a time, like arms and fingers, but some armies do not follow this organization, such as the Gaoyuan Zhengdong Army, the division is directly below the battalion~IndoMTL.com~There is no regiment The organization is like the officer of the East Conquest Army in front of you, who is a platoon leader, leading dozens of soldiers
"Mr. Qin, don't look at this is only separated by a mountain top, but Wangshan is running dead horses, even if they stay where they are, it will take at least a day or two for us to reach them." Zhang Xi watched Looking at Qin Shaowei's ugly face, he smiled and said, "But don't worry, as long as we find their traces, they will never run away again, and we will definitely catch up with them."
Qin Shaowei nodded, believing Zhang Xi's words, because these days, the army in front of him can find a little bit of clues in places where he sees nothing unusual, and is approaching Tian Jingwen day by day If the Zhengdong Army really wants to wipe out Tian Jingwen's unit, I'm afraid Tian Jingwen is really like the platoon leader in front of him said, he won't be able to escape.
Although this fact made him very uncomfortable, it was like an iron-clad fact in front of him
"That's good, platoon leader Zhang has worked hard!"
"It's not hard work, this is the military order I received, no matter what, I will complete it!" Zhang Xi smiled. Now that the Eastern Army has won a great victory, he has lost a lot of resentment towards these defeated generals. Winners always have to learn some tolerance. Who said this, it seems to be Commander Zheng! (to be continued...)
