Chapter 172
As early as a few months ago, the rice shop had been closed. From time to time, women with children could be seen digging wild vegetables in the soil. Unfortunately, for months, people in the city can't go out, people outside the city can't come in. What they can eat has already been eaten. Where can we see wild vegetables. Occasionally see a mouse, can be very happy, as it has a meat smell.
Although everyone is worried that the uto outside the city will not know when to fight in, hunger has already spread to every corner of the city. When the last grain of rice is finished, even if the uto do not attack the city, there will be great events in the city.
In this bleak street, someone is walking slowly. It is a man and a woman, the appearance is very good, the man wears indigo robe, gentle and beautiful, the woman's eyebrows are gorgeous, charming and moving.
Ying Xiang took out a piece of dry food from the bag and handed it to Chu Zhao. He said, "fourth young master, the shops here have been closed. Let's eat some dry food to cushion the stomach."
This dry food is the food that the guards used to eat when they went out in Liangzhou Wei. It's always been in the burden. It's dry and hard. Now there are no restaurants here to eat, so I can only make do with it.
Chu Zhao took over and was about to eat. He caught a glimpse of a little girl standing under a tree. The little girl was about five or six years old. Her face was dirty, her clothes were shabby, and she had no shoes and bare feet. I don't know whose family's children are, staring at the dry food in his hands, and do not speak.
Chu Zhao smiles and goes forward, squats down and hands her the dry food.
The little girl was stunned for a moment, then looked around, as if afraid of Chu Zhao's repentance. She snatched the dry food away, put it into her arms, turned her head and ran, and soon disappeared at the end of the cold street.
Chu Zhao stood up, Ying Xiang said, "four childe..."
"Nothing." He shook his head. "Run can't last long."
Ying Xiang was worried. The two of them came out of Liangzhou and went back to shuojing. As soon as they arrived at Rundu, the uto people followed. Li Kuang, the commander-in-chief of the city, ordered to guard the gate of the city. They could neither enter nor leave, but were trapped here.
"We have to leave Rundu as soon as possible," Ying Xiang said softly, "the uto people have been trying to attack the city for several days. They want to come to attack the city in these days. Once the city is broken We are in danger. "
Those uto people are cunning and ruthless. Even though Chu Zhao has a way to retreat, she is a woman or a beautiful woman. In troubled times, beauty is always miserable. Ying Xiang couldn't help shivering.
Chu Zhao seemed to see what she was thinking and said, "we'll leave tomorrow."
Ying Xiang put down his heart and began to appreciate it: "thank you, fourth young master."
"Before that, we have to find Li Kuang, the general of the city." Chu Zhao smiles, "without his help, we can't get out of the city."
Ying Xiang nodded, even though the city gate was blocked, she never suspected that they could not retreat. There are secret roads in every city. The family members and important people of senior officials will be sent out as the vitality to stay at a critical time.
Li Kuang couldn't ignore Xu Xiang's face.
……
"Sneak attack? No way, it's too risky! "
"That is to say, it is easy to say, and it is clear that it is to die. Although we Rundu people are not afraid of death, we can't make targets for people in vain!"
In the room, people who heard Heyan's words spoke one after another.
Li Kuang looks at Heyan. The young man is sure of what he says. He doesn't know what to do. All the Deputy soldiers in the Chengmen army, as well as several other brothers of Heyan, were in the house.
When the voices of all the people's comments calmed down a little, he Yan said, "I know you can't believe me now. But I have already asked Lord Li. In the past ten days, there were five nights in which the uto attacked the city gate. Although they all gave up at last, it was like a trial. In the last three days, there was no movement of uto people. "
"According to my experience in fighting with the utos, it's not a good time to be quiet at this time. I'm afraid the utos are planning a final attack. They have already felt the situation in Rundu city. The soldiers and horses in Rundu city have been consumed by the uto people for a long time, and their morale and physical strength are not as good as before. If the utors launch a general attack, the gate will be broken. "
"Why do you say that? Don't you curse us An officer who looked a little grumpy said angrily.
"Is it a curse to tell the truth? You can only listen to good words, can't you? " Wang Ba immediately satirized, "then I can say now that the gate of Rundu is as stable as stone iron, and it is impossible for the city to be broken. It is impossible for your whole life. Do you believe it? Take this to anyone in the street and ask them if they believe it or not! "
"Rundu defends the city by self deception. I've never seen such a funny thing!"
He had come to Rundu together with Heyan, but with the heart of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, now his own blood is not cherished by others. He immediately turns the blood into anger, and the person who scolds him can't speak.
The atmosphere was somewhat stagnant.
Huang Xiong looked at Li Kuang: "Mr. Li, my brother he is not simple. He is very proficient in the art of war. In Liangzhou Wei Li, besides the commander Xiao, he is the most powerful." He tried his best to wear a high hat to Heyan. "Since he said that he could sneak attack, he must have his own way. Why don't you listen to him first? It's better for us to have a friendly discussion."What he said was very kind and mature, but when he spoke, he stroked the sword on his waist, which made people shudder.
Some people bravely said: "he Lord he, it's not that we don't want to sneak in. However, we have fewer soldiers. If we go in and attack secretly, we will have fewer soldiers guarding the city. What's more, these utoes are keeping a close eye on the gate of the city. They are afraid that they will be shot into a sieve by their arrows before they leave the city. How can they sneak into their camp at night? "
"Arrow?" He Yan stopped and looked at the man who had just said, "are there many arrows of uto people?"
"A lot." The man said with a bitter face, "in fact, when the utos came, we fought them at the gate. But later, our arrows were very few, but their arrows were still very many. Some people had ambushed before, and the meaning of assassinating their master generals was unexpected. Before they even sneaked in, they were pierced by thousands of arrows. The utos cut off his head and hung it on a branch outside the city to make fun of it At this point, everyone in the room was looking at him.
Such provocations are intolerable.
"You mean we have few arrows, but they have many?" He Yan asked.
The other party nodded.
Heyan looked at Li Kuang again. "If we lead those Utopians to the gate of the city and prepare the archers who are ambushed in the tower of the city, how many Utopians can we kill?"
"Thousands to 10000." Li Kuang replied, "but we don't have so many arrows."
"We have."
The crowd was stunned.
"Let the utoes make arrows for us." The young man smiles and his eyes are so bright that in a moment, Li Kuang thinks of another person. He didn't see the face under the mask at that time. He only remembered the eyes, just like the eyes in front of him. He was confident and calm, and could kill the miracle of encirclement even in a chaotic and bad situation.
With him, the army will be stable and will never give up.
"What are you going to do?" He came to his senses and asked.
"I need to gather all the craftsmen and women in the city to make me straw men."
……
At the end of the night, thousands of barracks stand quietly in the field outside the city gate. From a distance, it seems that the wilderness has become a continuous hill with amazing momentum.
The soldiers on patrol were walking around.
Huyat, the wutuo leader who led the army to attack Rundu, was pouring wine into the bowl with a wine jar. The wine was so fragrant that he patted his stomach and smacked his lips: "is this the wine made by Rundu people? What's the difference with sweet water? It's just a woman's favorite. Everyone in the Wei Dynasty likes it. No wonder he's so weak and timid that he'll chop it up with a knife! "
The confidant flattered: "yes, yes, the wine of Da Wei can't compare with that of uto's spirit."
Huyat laughed and said, "go to the captives and pick some women here."
The Rundu people have now closed the gate of the city, but when they were stationed here, there were still many people wandering outside the city. Including the nearby Chuang Tzu, the soldiers of uto wiped out these Chuang Tzu, and the women left them, killing all the others, even the children. These wines were also robbed from Chuang Tzu. The common people had no strength to bind the chickens. They simply cut melons and vegetables and destroyed the whole village.
The uto people admire and despise the people of Wei Dynasty. They admired the great Wei people for their gorgeous silk, exquisite porcelain, vast land, large population and beautiful tall houses. And they live in the desert, beside the grassland, only the whirring wind, nothing.
They looked down on the Wei people as weak, timid, even the ability to protect themselves. We are keeping the so-called "benevolent government" and waiting for others to invade. A piece of fat without protection will always attract all kinds of eyes. After years of silence, the uto couldn't help it.
"We have been waiting here for a month," said one of his confidants. "He Rufei still hasn't come. As the LORD said, he Rufei will not come again."
"That's wonderful!" he said with a smile
The great Wei Dynasty attached great importance to Literature and despised martial arts. Over the years, many generals have been produced. The most daunting ones are general Feihong and general Fengyun. The fool of Maka, relying on his being the cousin of the king of the country, volunteered to capture Jiyang. Who expected to bump into Xiao Huaijin. Unfortunately, all 150000 troops were destroyed in uto, which greatly damaged his vitality.
He is not a Marka. Since he chose Rundu, he must be sure of everything.
"There is a saying in the great Wei Dynasty that" the red dust on the other side of the river is as busy as fire. When the xuanqingzhang is cold as ice. " Now, what we are doing is "watching the fire from the shore". What about general Feihong? He will have other weaknesses if he can't kill him. It's just the same with power and beauty. "
"Sometimes I really don't understand the great Wei people," he said with real confusion. "Why do they always like to kill each other? If there are such people as Xiao Huaijin and he Rufei, in our utopia, the Lord of the kingdom will surely give the best treatment. They will become the two most profitable swords of uto. With them, the world will be in the pocket. But the great Wei people could not see such good generals. Once someone rose, they would step into the mud. However, it is just like this. If Xiao Huaijin and he Rufei are really impeccable, it will be a disaster for us uto. "The confidant also said: "yes, it's just like this. Thanks to the plan of the Lord for many years, he made the fire burn bigger and bigger earlier. Now they don't need us. They help uto fight their own people by themselves."
From the tent came the wanton laughter. At this time, the uto soldiers who had just left brought back several great Wei women. All of them were captives from nearby Chuang Tzu. These women were young and pretty. As soon as they came in, they shivered.
Huya was cruel in nature, and many women were trampled to death by him.
He grinned grimly and grabbed a woman nearby. Before he could move, he suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet coming from outside. The crowd was stunned.
"What's going on?"
"Someone's out of town!"
Suddenly, the camp was in chaos. Suddenly, Yate lost his interest and pushed the woman aside. He stood up and went outside. An uto soldier rushed to report: "general, someone is coming down from the gate of the city!"
"What?" There was an earthquake in juat.
Those Rundu people are as timid as a mouse. They only dare to hide in the city and dare not speak out. It was an attempt to sneak attack once, but before the man came down, they shot him into a hedgehog. How dare you come back now? This is a little unexpected. In principle, those Rundu people should not be like this.
Is it that you have reached the end of the mountain and decided to fight to the death? Huya took a big step to the original field, "go, have a look!"
Outside the dark tower, there were hundreds of ropes hanging down. It seemed that one by one people went down from the tower. From a distance, there are still many people.
"Are these people crazy?" An uto soldier said, "this is not to die. What is it?"
"There is a kind of badger in our country, which is as timid as a mouse. It is said that when we meet a hunter, he will not only be unable to run, but will also take the initiative to gather on the hunter's arrow. I think these Rundu people are so scared that they can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest! "
"Is there any reason not to hunt the prey that is sent to the door?" Kuyt's heart was filled with pride. Before the battle was fought, these Rundu people were frightened to break their courage. This shows the strength of his utuo army. Immediately said: "prepare archers! It happens to be a good target. I didn't enjoy it last time. This time, I can do my best to practice archery. There are not many good targets in the future! "
The archers of the uto went to prepare immediately.
The arrow darted at the people on the rope of the tower, but in a moment, they were shot into hedgehogs, and one of them was hit by countless arrows. Rundu people seem to have realized this, and quickly put those ropes away and replaced them with new people.
"I think they are really crazy," he said
"This is called What they said from the great Wei people, bravery of every man My dear ones racked their brains to come up with a word.
"What a brave man is, I think it is a fool of a man!" "The next group of archers, ready!" he said in a loud voice
On the tower, there are ropes constantly being hoisted, and each rope helps a lot of "people". These people are full of arrows in their chest and back. When they are picked up, where is the shape of a person? It's creepy to watch them take off an arrow target. But if you look at them carefully, you will find that they are all made of straw, and they are dressed in black. Under the cover of the night, they are just like real people.
Wheat excitedly said: "a lot of arrows, many arrows, ah ho brother, we are rich!"
"Make a fart of money," Wang BA was lack of interest, "these are not silver, and can't eat."
Li Kuang, on one side, was so excited that he almost burst into tears. They have no arrows, they can only be beaten by the uto people. They dare not even appear on the tower in the daytime. The Sentinels who patrol the tower will be killed by one or two arrows every day, but they don't have enough bows and arrows to fight back.
And now there are.
This group of grass men in black brought out countless arrows, and Heyan released another batch. Before the uto people found out, they could gain a lot. What a miracle? This is a business without capital!
In the daytime, Heyan asked Li Kuang to gather all the craftsmen and women in the city to drive down the grassroots. As soon as the people heard that it was to deal with the uto people, even children took part in it, but in one day, they drove out many. He Yan asked Li Kuang to borrow some black clothes for ordinary people, so that they could wear them neatly.
At the beginning, Li wutuo was skeptical? Do they really send arrows honestly?
Now this scene has confirmed his doubt that the uto are really so stupid.
Looking at the young man standing on the tower, he felt a sense of admiration. No matter what the future of Rundu is, at least tonight's grassroots can let Rundu resist for some more time. Li Kuang went to Heyan and said, "brother he is clever and clever. Li is ashamed of himself."
He Yan side head looked at him, the wind blows at the young man's ear broken hair, he did not care about a smile: "it's just a fluke. These Utopian people think that they are numerous and proud of themselves. They are sure to get Rundu. They will not think of anything else when they see the grassroots. "
"The uto people think that we have nothing, no foreign aid, no weapons, no men and horses, so we give him a man to make nothing, and surprise him.""What if we fail?"
The young man said: "then think of other ways, the world, there will not be only one road."
Li Kuang couldn't speak. He always felt that the young man had made him feel familiar. He shook his head and put aside the absurd ideas in his head. He only said that the reason for these thoughts was that the situation was very similar to that of the past, and even more difficult.
Tonight, it's just the beginning.
He Yan looked down at the tower, and on the field in the distance, there was a faint light of stars, which was the barracks of the uto people.
No and show have, also lie. It is easy to feel after a long time, so you can have nothing at all. If there is something out of nothing, it will be true from falsehood, and from emptiness to reality. You can defeat the enemy, but if you are born, you will be defeated.
When he read this paragraph in the book of war, he Yan himself was very puzzled. He took the book of war and went to Liu buforget, who only said, "nothing is false, the purpose is to cover up the truth.". If you want to succeed in "making something out of nothing", you have to master the psychology of the other party. This is the highest level of intelligence among generals. "
He Yan fought with the uto three times. Every general of the uto people was arrogant and arrogant in his heart. Perhaps it is related to their country's advocacy of strong force, thinking that they have everything if they have soldiers, but they forget that arrogance leads to defeat.
She looked at the continuous flow of arrows, lips showing a smile: "for the next batch."
……
The arrows flew towards the gate of Rundu, and they were furious.
"What's wrong with Rundu people? Are they not afraid? How many people have been changed? " Asked the uto soldier.
There are some doubts in huyate's heart. These Rundu people It was like a steady stream of death. For several hours, are they going to fold all the troops and horses of Rundu here?
It was already dark, and all night they were shooting arrows here.
A bird flew from the sky, fell on the branches, chirped, broke the silence around. This is what happened to him. He asked, "have you ever heard the screams of those people who shot arrows all night?"
Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.
It's quiet. It's so quiet. They shot so many arrows that the death of Rundu people was so miserable that they didn't even shout? Why is this for? Are you afraid that the screams will be heard by the people in the city, and people will be terrified, or will they affect the morale? If it's so good, if it's something else A little uneasiness passed through his mind.
"Stop it!" "Stop shooting at once!" huyat said
The uto stopped and waited for hoyat's next command.
Arrow stopped at the same time. Heyan, sitting on the tower of the city, yawned and shook his head regretfully: "Oh, it was found."
Li Kuang was satisfied. This night, they harvested at least 100000 arrows. It's faster and easier to forge than a craftsman. The soldiers at the head of the city pulled up the last Scarecrow full of ropes, kneaded his aching wrist, and turned to Heyan: "my Lord, do you still need to let the grass man go down again?"
"Let go." He Yan said: "put a clean one and show them clearly."
Li Kuang was surprised: "brother he, this is not to let the uto people know our details. It will be difficult to cheat arrows in the future."
He Yan said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I am not here to borrow an arrow. After this night, the uto people have already discovered that they are wrong and can't hide it. "
"Bullied us for so long, now, piss them off!"
The first ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and threw itself into the field, illuminating the red tower of Rundu.
Outside the gate of the city, there was a figure hanging in the air. The figure was hanging in the air. It was fuzzy at first, and then it became clear in the sunlight and fell into the eyes of the uto people in the distance.
A Grass man in black.
"Dry!" Suddenly Yate was furious.
