Chapter 970

The next morning, amid the complaints of the soldiers, the army of Hecheng on an empty stomach rushed to the new town.

Although he complained that he didn't get a breakfast, the soldiers didn't dare to say anything more under the authority of the officers. Just put up with it.

But at noon, the March did not stop.

It's going to be dark.

This person will find it difficult to adapt to a meal, especially after consuming a lot of physical strength.

The soldiers complained again.

"What's the matter? Even if we don't give breakfast, we will continue to drive at noon. Are we going to make us hungry?"

"You forget that some of the food and grass were burned last night. It's estimated that they wanted to starve us for two meals, save some food and bear with it. They should distribute food to us in the evening."

"There is no such thing as letting the horse run all the time, but not feeding the horse. At night, there is no strength to do other things."

The more soldiers complain, the louder. When the officers who supervise the advance of the army see the noise, they whip the loudest people in the crowd and scold them:

"what's the name? If you don't eat just two meals, you shout. Shut up, or you will be sent to the law enforcement team for the charge of disordering the morale of the army."

As soon as the soldiers heard that they were going to send them to the law enforcement team, they withered and refused to complain.

The law enforcement team of the army is notorious. When they are sent there, no matter what the charges are, they will only end up being executed.

Forget it, bear it. Don't lose your life just because you're hungry. It's not worth it.

When the officer on the mount saw that the soldiers did not complain, he took back the whip with great pride. Then he took out the big chicken leg from his arms and chewed it up. He could see that the soldiers around him were salivating.

At this time, the difference between the recruits and the veterans came out.

The new recruits swallowed the air and marched forward with heavy steps.

The veterans, like thieves, looked around, took something out of their arms, stuffed it in their mouth, and chewed it slowly.

This scene can't escape the eyes of some recruits, so some people get close to the veterans who steal food.

"Big brother, how can you have something to eat? Can you give me some?"

"Of course, it was saved before. Don't ask me for it. I'll do it myself."

Veterans have food because they know how to store food. From the day of the battle, every time they eat, they will leave some food for their families when they need emergency rations or when they are ready to go back.

The recruits who didn't get food were naturally disappointed, while the conscientious veterans would often say more.

"I'll teach you a lesson. If you go out again in the future, don't eat all the food you've distributed."

"Why?"

"What else can I do for emergencies, such as the current situation, or fighting in the battlefield for a long time to make up for some strength, or bringing it back to my family?"

"Yes, I didn't think of it."

After listening to the veteran's words, the recruits suddenly realized that they had decided to start storing grain tomorrow in case of emergency.

As for why it is tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't save this meal in the evening.

At dusk and sunset, when we enter the ten mile boundary of the new town and look at the high wall of the new town, the army of Hecheng is exhausted.

"The whole army stopped and camped on the spot."

When the soldiers got to the ground and were tired, the order came down, which shocked the depressed soldiers.

But stop is to stop, but want to eat also have to wait for some time, and before this, also need to put up the tent.

Because they were burned once last time, under the above order, they were asked to widen the distance between the tents, so that even if the fire broke out, it would not burn to other tents all at once.

After a day of starvation and constant driving, the soldiers did not have much physical strength. They did their work in a slow way. After the tent was built, the rest of their physical strength was almost exhausted. They sat on the ground one by one, waiting for dinner.

However, before the meal was ready, they saw that the gate of the new town in the distance was opened, the bridge deck on the moat was lowered, and then a group of cavalry ran out.

"Niang, do you want people to live? You can't give them a chance to eat."

The soldiers howled.

But that is clearly not possible.

Then the officers on their side roared.

"Get up, go ahead and stand ready to fight."

One by one, the soldiers had no choice but to get up and gather together with their weapons.

Although there is no strength, but 100000 people gathered, the formation is also very shocking.

Perhaps frightened by the crowd, the cavalry on the opposite side came back, the gate closed and the bridge slab rose.

Seeing that the cavalry of the other side had gone back, the soldiers on this side of the river city also disbanded and went back to sit and wait for dinner.Unfortunately, after a while, the gate of the city opened again. This time, more people came out, and many people came out of the wall.

It looks like it's going to be real.

"Set, set."

The shrill shouts of the officers on this side of the river city drove the soldiers who had just sat down to line up again.

A group of people in Ulala stood together again.

But on this side of the river city, as soon as the army gathered, the people on the other side withdrew. Then, as soon as the gate of the city was closed, the suspension bridge was closed, and the people on the wall withdrew, they returned to their original appearance.

"I'm so @#"

the soldiers on this side of the river city fell into a state of mind and began to scold one after another.

The soldiers suffered, and Hayes and his officers were angry.

"It's playing monkey with us."

"My Lord, order to attack. 100000 people will rush up and break the city in the blink of an eye."

A number of grumpy officers called in.

But some rational officers came out against it.

"My Lord, we can't fight now. The soldiers haven't eaten for a day. Where can we fight? Even if we take down the high wall of Fangcheng, we will pay a heavy price."

"Yes, now everything is not ready. What shall we take to climb the wall and let the soldiers rush to cut down the stones to make the stairs?"

In fact, even if no one said it was not suitable to fight now, Hayes would not order to fight. He was not so stupid.

"Leave ten thousand in front and let the others disband."

"Tell the camp to cook for me."

"Let the ordnance side make me a ladder that can let the soldiers climb the city all night."

"After tonight, we'll go to battle tomorrow, kill a few people, file their spirit, and then attack the city."

After giving these orders, Hayes went back to the tent, and the other officers left to carry out the orders.

As a result, after leaving 10000 people in front to support the field, the other soldiers withdrew.

In the direction of the new city, Chen Fang and his charm at the head of the city overlook the military array in the distance.

"Why did you just send someone out and back?" For just Chen Fang's operation of the fan do not understand, charming puzzled asked.

Chen Fang shrugged, "nothing, just disgusting them."

Charming just don't believe, clutching Chen Fang waist meat let him say.

When he was pinched at the waist, Chen Fang didn't hurt, but he said, "it's just a trial. By the way, he'll draw the other person's attention to us."

Charming "Oh", and then said: "you are creating opportunities for Jimo and Wen Ren."

Chen Fang nodded and took a look at the sun below the horizon.

"Yes."
