The group of people on the hillside called Hanako killed all the troops who tried to escape, and walked towards Wang Shuo and them down the slope.A short and stout man in his thirties, his face was full of plaster, wearing a torn cotton jacket that was exposed to cotton, blooming everywhere, and he couldn't see the original color of the dirty cotton jacket, came to Wang Shuo's horse, clasped his fists with both hands and saluted: "Who is my Tao so brave, it turns out that the young general has seen the young general" Wang Shuo looked at the short and strong man for a long time, and only then recognized that it was Fang Dachu, he couldn't help asking: "Fang Dachu, why are you here" Fang Dachu said with tears in his eyes: "Young General, it's hard to say a word" Wang Shuo jumped off the horse and looked at the gang who came down the mountain, A group of "called Huazi", who are not far from Fang Dachu, really have many familiar faces.He took Fang Dachu's hand and asked: "You all escaped" Fang Dachu said: "There are a lot of escapes, but unfortunately along the way, even the hunger belt and the army encountered, and a lot of people died, and I waited around to find the major general but did not find it, only a few dozen people remained, and I didn't dare to wear the Ming army's number again, and entangled some fleeing people along the way, and hid all the way to Gongchang."
Unexpectedly, I met the major general here, "It turned out that Fang Dachu and they fled into the mountains that day."
On the mountains of the Longzhong Plateau, the altitude is high, the temperature difference is large, the evaporation is high, there is no water and nothing to eat.Fortunately, I met some local aborigines who had fled, led them to dig up some wild vegetable roots, and secretly went down the mountain at night to find some food hidden by the people in the villages along the way.Hearing the shouts of Wang Shuo and the Shun army fighting, these people came out of the mountain col where they were hiding, just in time to catch up with the intruding army and were defeated by Wang Shuo.Many of the Ming troops who escaped knew Wang Shuo and came over to meet each other.Those who can escape here through ups and downs are all non-commissioned officers and officers who can fight habitually.Joining these people again gave Wang Shuo confidence.Although they wore the same clothes as Hanako, they still maintained the establishment of the Ming army of ten people, one tithe, five people, and many of them still had blades in their hands.What to do next, Wang Shuo had to think about it seriously.In this territory full of hungry and mad dog-like invaders, any ill-considered, any slight mistake will make them lose their lives from here to Longxi, and if they don't go to Ningyuan, they have to go north.It is not easy to go into the mountains and bypass Ningyuan City without taking the main road.The further north you go, the higher the terrain, the more difficult it is to walk, the key is that there is no food, so many people are hiding in the mountains, sooner or later they will be starved to death He thought about it for a long time, and finally made up his mind.It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, just don't do it, don't stop it, take Ningyuan County, Ningyuan City, there is only a thousand-person team of 1,000 people, and he has eliminated a 100-person team, leaving 900 people, and many of them are surrendered by the Ming army, and the combat effectiveness will not be too strong.Moreover, according to custom, those who are generally tasked with defending the city will not be troops that can fight.Although they are few in number, they are all elites who have survived brutal battles and brutal environments.With these more than 100 elites, there should be hope of victory against the intrusive army, which is already less than 1,000 people and has weak combat effectiveness.Wang Shuo had an idea in his heart, so he ordered everyone to collect the leather armor and blades on the corpses of the intruding army to arm themselves, and at the same time collect the food they carried, so that everyone could try to eat a full meal, so that they could have the strength to deal with the more brutal battle in the future, and when everyone was full, he called a meeting of officers above the rank of captain.At the meeting, he shared his analysis and thoughts with the officers.Relying on their one hundred and ten people to attack Ningyuan City, everyone had no confidence.But if you don't take Ning Yuan, there is really no way out.The food outside the city was basically looted by the invading army, and if Ningyuan was not taken, what to eat was now found from the corpses of the invading soldiers, and there was not much food, most of it was human jerky Wang Shuo did not allow everyone to eat human flesh, and ordered all the jerky to be gathered and burned.There is just a layer of window paper between good and evil, and if it is pierced, there is no distinction between good and evil.Eating human flesh once will eat it a second time, Wang Shuo doesn't want the group of people who follow him to become cannibalistic demons like breaking into the army.Anyway, he only eliminated a hundred-man team of the intruding army, and the defenders in the city did not dare to come out blindly because of the unknown situation, and they made a fire to burn all the dried flesh, and they were not afraid that they would find out about the smoke
