Chapter 89
Outside Wuqing City, Shisanlang, Ma Huaide, Li Weixian and Liu Huan surrounded a brazier and drank and ate meat. Their military camps were similar and they had to cooperate in combat, and they were often together. There was no war these days, and they had to wait for Zhao Zhen to come, and their lives were a bit boring.
After drinking a sip of wine, Shisanlang said, "Zhi Niang, I have been waiting outside Wuqing City for so many days, and I don't know when I will return to Beijing. Looking at the appearance of the Khitans, I lack food and clothing, and I just don't surrender. I really don't know what I'm waiting for!"
"Should you die." Liu Huan shook his head. "It's clear now that the Khitan army cannot win and cannot escape. Apart from waiting for death, what are they waiting for there? I want to say that it's time, so just wait for a few more days to starve all the Khitans to death!"
Li Weixian said: "Don't take it lightly! The Khitans are all cavalry. Whenever they have the chance, the entire army will escape, and it is difficult to chase them."
After hearing this, Liu Huan laughed out loud and said, "Taiwei, for so many days, where are the Khitans still cavalry? Recently, they have killed horses and fed up their hunger. Do they think there is still food? In a few days, I see that their horses will be killed."
"So what if you don't kill? If there is no military ration, there will be a horse's forage? Instead of starving to death, it's better to kill and eat meat." Shisanlang shook his head and slowly said. "What the Khitan lacks is not only food for people, but horses are even more lacking in food. Speaking of which, these horses are really unlucky, why did they meet such a master? The horses of 400,000 cavalry horses are so much money!"
Ma Huaide raised his glass to drink a glass of wine with everyone and said, "No matter what, the Khitans have no way out. In fact, if they really surrender, the court will be in trouble. It is not easy to manage food for 400,000 people. It is extremely difficult for the court to supply military supplies for more than 400,000 people. No matter how many people open their mouths, there is no more money. We don't need to be anxious. As long as we surround the Khitans, they can't escape."
Several people nodded repeatedly. The enemy had no food to eat, so it would be easier to fight later.
At this moment, a personal soldier came in and crossed his hands and said, "Taiwei, you are watching the fight in the Khitan military camp! How do we do it?"
"Why did the fight start?" Ma Huaide suddenly stood up. "Is it the Khitans who fought against the Khitans?"
The personal soldier said: "I saw it in the telescope that the Khitans were fighting with the signing army. I have seen a lot of such things in recent days. But like today, I have fought hard, but I have never seen them. And no one came forward to help the other barracks."
"Go out and have a look!" Ma Huaide greeted several people and hurriedly gave up the handsome tent.
When he arrived at the tower, Ma Huaide raised his telescope and looked at the Khitan military camp not far away. He saw hundreds of signing troops inside, fighting with more than a hundred Khitans. Both sides fought with swords and swords, and the fight was lively. The Khitans next to him watched lazily, but did not come forward to help.
Putting down the telescope, Ma Huaide said: "It looks very strange. There are signing soldiers and Khitans fighting. There are many signing soldiers, but the Khitans are better at fighting and are equally good at fighting. There are obviously Khitans next to them, but they don't go up to help, just stand there and watch the fun."
Shisanlang, Li Weixian and Liu Huan stepped forward and looked at it for a while, confused.
Liu Huan said: "These Khitans are crazy! They are not wearing enough clothes, so they probably want to relieve their boredom."
Li Weixian said: "Taiwei, there are dozens of corpses on the ground next to him, and they are obviously going to die!"
Shisanlang said, "Oh, I'm afraid there should be something amazing in the Khitan military camp now. Unfortunately, we don't know, so we can only watch the fun here. However, it's not a bad thing for us. Now they kill more themselves, and when I attack, there will be fewer people."
A few people looked around and couldn't tell the name of it, so they could only watch the fun there.
In the Khitan military camp, Han Funu looked at the front with his arms lazily, looking careless. A soldier next to him looked at a crowd of people fighting in front of him, and he couldn't help but frown frequently. He couldn't help but say to Han Funu: "General, these signing troops are so fierce today. Many soldiers have fallen to the ground. Why don't we go forward--"
"What are we doing when we go up?" Han Funu looked like he disliked the soldiers and meddled with other people's business. "These signing soldiers had no food for three days, so they would naturally sacrifice their lives. What did we do? In the past two days, the military rations have been less than half as low as usual, so how can we have the strength?"
The soldiers said: "But most of the soldiers are Han. If they win, will they come to us to make trouble?"
Han Funu said: "When I enter, I don't care whether he is a Han or a Khitan. If there is nothing in my stomach, I don't care about that much. Even if the signing army wins, what's the use of looking for us? We don't have food."
After saying that, Han Funu reached out and waved his hand: "Watch the fun with peace of mind, why bother with so many other things!"
The soldier shook his head and had to stand there and watch the two armies fighting next to him.
The hundreds of signing troops in the village were to transport grain for Han Funu and his army. They didn’t send military rations for three days, so they couldn’t stand it. Recently, there was trouble. More than 100 Khitan soldiers came from Yelu Hongji to correct order. Unexpectedly, the signing troops were ruthless today. If they had no food, they would starve to death sooner or later. It would be better to fight the Khitan soldiers who came to fight to the death.
What was surprising was that Han Funu and other Khitan troops were watching the two armies fight, but they didn't come forward to help. The unexpected surprise of the leader of the Khitan army was entangled by the signing army for a while and they fought there.
After killing the army in front of him, the leader Mogu sternly said to Han Funu: "We suppress the army and rebel, you can come forward to help!"
Han Funu sneered: "That's your business, what's it with us? They have no food to eat, we have no food, and there is no food to the stomach, so they naturally have no strength. Brother, you have enough food to eat and drink, these things are of course your business."
Mogu said loudly: "Okay, you can sit and watch today. When I go back, you will report to it. When you get there, you will know that it is amazing!"
Han Funu said, "You should ask yourself to be lucky today and be able to go back. At this time, are you still afraid that you will report to the top? Don't laugh at my big teeth! Go back and try it. When you report to the top, who dares to take care of the Sa family!"
After saying that, he looked at him with a look of his face, and was so angry that he smoked from Mogu's seven orifices. There was no way, as the army was cut off, it became more and more difficult for the Khitan army to manage. They were originally bound by tribes, and they were close and distant, and the distribution of military rations was unfair. The signing army was dissatisfied, and Han Funu and other tribes that were more distant from the royal family were dissatisfied. They would not rebel, but they were happy to sit back and watch.
They refused to share the food if they did not let these Khitans suffer. They were reluctant to share the food. Now they were not at the time when they were out of ammunition and food, so they would deduct military food. That would be great. This time, they went south and grabbed nothing. They didn’t know what the cattle and sheep in their families were, and they were still not full. How could they continue to fight this battle? According to Han Funu’s idea, there is no hope of defeating now, so it would be better to surrender. If they don’t believe that the Song people can kill all the prisoners, as long as they can return to the grassland, they will be a hero again in a few years.
