Besides, Zhao Wang Zhao Yan, after evacuating from the Hedong battlefield, plunged into the deep mountains, although there were more than 20,000 remnants of soldiers around him, but as early as the beginning of the withdrawal and departure, the grain and grass of the Song army had been consumed, that is to say, more than 20,000 Song troops entered the Lutai Mountain without the slightest preparation, which is a big taboo.
Soon the remnants of the army led by Zhao Yan began to have problems, due to the exhaustion of grain and grass, and marching in this deep mountain, everyone's physical strength decreased quickly, in order to save physical strength as much as possible, the Song army threw away everything that could be thrown, all the armor was discarded, and only the weapons were kept; However, the remnants of the entire Song army were not without a little grain and grass, and the only grain and grass were all in the hands of Zhao Yan's personal guard battalion.
Zhao Ju is now faced with two difficult choices, first: to distribute the grain and grass reasonably, so that everyone can live as long as possible; Second: all the grain and grass are used in a centralized manner to ensure that the battalion has enough grain and grass to go out; Zhao Yan struggled in this matter, if the grain and grass were distributed, it was likely that all of them would eventually die in this deep mountain.
"Lord Wang, the brothers' physical strength is declining rapidly, and some people have begun to fall behind, do we have to wait for them."
Zhao Qun asked Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan looked back at the soldiers behind him, and then said to Zhao Qun: "What's the use of waiting, you see what they have become, does it make sense to wait for these people to go out, only the strong can go out." ” "What about the grain and grass," Zhao Qun asked.
"Whoever has the ability can get food and grass."
Zhao Yan said indifferently; "I can't blame others for being hungry."
Zhao Yan said that this sentence contains too many meanings, that is to say, these fugitive soldiers can use any method to get the food they need, which of course includes cannibalism and snatching it from their own people; Of course, you can also choose to hunt, after all, there are a lot of wild things in the deep mountains and old forests, but hunting is not something that everyone can do, in order to live better, these participating Song soldiers began to form small groups one by one, and used various methods to get everything they needed.
In fact, this is Zhao Chen's intention, and its purpose is also to let them kill each other, through this battle with the Xia army, Zhao Yan found a very serious problem, the Song army has many soldiers and horses, but there are few real elites, most of the Song army's soldiers still lack courage, the courage to resist the Xia cavalry, in the face of the impact of the Xia cavalry, Zhao Yan found that many Song soldiers died because of timidity, including even Zhao Yan regarded as the elite of the Mo knife soldiers.
As Zhao Yan said, it is impossible for all people in this escape to get out of this mountain alive, but those who come out must be strong people with strong willpower, Zhao Yan needs these strong people with willpower to step on the corpses of the weak and go out, and even let them kill each other, turning the Song soldiers who can get out alive into butchers; The brutal war is changing Zhao Yan, and unconsciously, the concept of the survival of the strong and the elimination of the weak began to penetrate into Zhao Yan's heart, which is also the beginning of the transformation of the Song army again.
"Big brother, we've been hungry for a day, let's get something to eat, look at the people's guard camp, they all have food, but we don't have it, it's really when we are raised by our stepmother."
"It's the eldest brother, we are all soldiers, why should we be hungry if they have food and drink."
"So what do you say?"
"Of course it was snatched from them; Big brother, I can see that if we don't get things from the guards, we will all starve to death in this mountain sooner or later. ” The leading officer looked at a few brothers beside him, and then said: "Okay, just do it, but be careful, don't kill people, it's over after robbing." ” A scuffle soon began, and one of the guards lost his hand and killed one of the men, which was a big problem; "Big brother, let them kill the dog," said a soldier with red eyes.
"Fuck, brothers, they won't let us live, they don't want to live, kill him a son of a bitch" Scenes like this continued until the Song army walked out of the mountains, of course, these soldiers below killed each other and turned a blind eye to Zhao Yan, but even if these soldiers were so bold, no one dared to attack Zhao Yan, after all, Zhao Yan's identity and majesty were there "Lord Wang, this scene is too chaotic, I'm afraid that if it continues like this, I'm afraid they will hurt the prince."
Zhao Qun said beside Zhao Yan; "Even if they can get out, can people like them still work together?"
Zhao Yan said: "Don't worry, they won't do anything to this king, don't you see that those people have the upper hand?"
Zhao Zhen's words reminded Zhao Qun that among the remnants of the Song army, the guard battalion led by Zhao Qun was the only formed force, and under Zhao Yan's reminder, Zhao Qun began to organize his men and horses, while surrounding Zhao Yan and the safety of grain and grass, and strangling the rebels on the other hand, those Song troops who dared to confront the avant-garde battalion were already regarded as rebels; The number of remnants of the Song army has been decreasing along the way of the escape, some have starved to death, fallen to death, and some have been killed by their own people, but as long as they can walk alive from here, they have finally become the most elite troops under Zhao Yan, and they are not afraid of life and death and become a sharp blade in Zhao Yan's hands, of course, this is a later story.
When Zhao Yan led the remnants of the army to wander around in the deep mountains and old forests, on the eastern Song-Xia border, on the defense line of the Great Wall of the Song Army south of Anling Town, a big battle was underway, and the Xia army took Anling Town as the advance base, and under the leadership of Li Ke, the king of Changshan, 200,000 Xia troops, went south along the Grand Canal and attacked the Great Wall defense line fifty miles south of Anling Town, and the camp of the Xia army relied on the canal and was stationed ten miles north of the Great Wall.
"Lord Wang, the brothers have suffered heavy losses, I think it's better to withdraw first," Zhu Xu walked to Li Ke's side and said.
"Mingjin withdraws the troops," Li Ke issued a military order.
"Bell, bell, bell" The Xia army, which had been attacking, retreated like a tide, leaving a place of corpses under the Great Wall, and after the army withdrew to the camp, Li Ke convened the generals to discuss the military situation.
Yan Shu, who led the army to attack, first said: "Lord Wang, the Great Wall defense line of the Song army is indeed solid, the city wall is full of catapults, bed crossbows, and earth-shattering thunder, and the rain of arrows has not been broken, this attack has not been an hour, we have lost nearly 10,000 people, and because of the proximity to the canal, the Song army has a moat as a barrier, in this way, even if the whole army is exhausted, I am afraid it will not be able to take it."
"Tell me what else to do but attack," Li Ke asked the crowd; "Now Zhao Yan's whereabouts are unknown, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fighter, if we wait for Zhao Yan to come back and organize the army to focus on defense, we will have no way to break through the defense line, these days are the key, we must take the Song army's defense line at all costs" The first is more presented, friends who like this book, recommend, monthly pass reward to support it:
