Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 569 The cruel truth
Chen Xingfan spread his hands, "Hey, you have to ask General Gai about this."

"The Fortress of Qiuci is only thirty miles away from here. With your fast feet, you can get there in half a day. Why did you go for more than ten days?" Wen Wuji continued to ask.

The smile on his face gradually stiffened, Chen Xingfan patted his head, "Hey, forget it, I'd better tell you the truth, as for me, I was actually captured by the enemy army, I betrayed Tang, I will be their spy gone."

"I'm coming back this time, mainly to see if you, a bunch of unlucky ghosts, are starving to death. If you're not starving to death, I'll let you have a full meal, and then die when you're full."

"As for the reinforcements, it's all just to make you happy, hahahaha..."

Chen Xingfan was still smiling.

Wen Wuji grabbed the opponent's armor and asked loudly, "How did you get back?"

Chen Xingfan stopped laughing, "Let everyone be happy first, can we have enough food for two days?"

On the side of the city gate, Zhang Xiaojing came to the wounded Liu Zongqi with a small bowl of fried millet, "Come, eat something."

Liu Zongqi raised his head unexpectedly, "Is there any food for me?"

The meaning was obvious. This recruit had always thought that he was injured and would not be able to fight anymore. If there was a shortage of food, it would be like wasting food to feed him, a wounded man who was unable to fight anymore.Therefore, he kept his head down, thinking that he had no part in it.

"Yes, there are all!" Zhang Xiaojing comforted: "Didn't Chen Xingfan say that this food can be eaten by reinforcements."

But as soon as the small bowl was handed to Liu Zongqi's mouth, the other party couldn't help coughing and spilled a lot of fried millet. The distressed Liu Zongqi hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth one by one.

"Don't pick it up, don't pick it up, don't pick it up, there's more!" Zhang Xiaojing quickly pressed the opponent.

Liu Zongqi wet his eyes and said, "It's a waste to give it to me."

Zhang Xiaojing was silent, what a soldier!

"It's so fragrant, like the one my grandparents planted..."

"Come on, eat slowly." Zhang Xiaojing handed the small bowl to Liu Zongqi, he stared at the shield, and came to Zhanqi to deliver food to Xiao Gui, the two brothers leaned against the wall and ate a bowl of millet together.

On the side of the frying pan, Ding Laosan said: "Let's save some food brought by Chen Xingfan. It will be enough for two or three days. There are more than [-] enemy troops, and we have to kill [-] of them every day. Zhang Xiaojing and Xiao Gui, It’s no problem to crucify one person per person, we need a dozen of them every day.”

"Heh, are you not running away?" asked the man next to him.

Ding Laosan's eyes were firm and he said: "I won't run away, reinforcements are coming. Tang Jun is thinking about us!"

Everyone laughed.

The man said: "Then we'll be full, why don't we just sit and wait?"

Ding Laosan said: "He Youlu, you idiot, you spit out all the military rations you ate just now!"

The man He Youlu was stunned for a moment, then he rushed to Ding Laosan, pressed him against the wall and asked loudly, "Who are you calling a coward? Who are you calling running away?"

"You are eating Tang Jun's food, and you are Tang Jun's people. If you don't fight, you wait for others to rescue you. Aren't you a softie?" Ding Laosan said loudly.

"Forget it, let's eat!" Everyone pulled the two of them away.

Ding Laosan said in a deep voice: "Thieves' arrows have thick shafts, and our Tang crossbow can't use them. The arrows we shoot by ourselves should be around 120 paces. I'll pick them up when it gets dark."

Zhang Silang said: "The enemy army is thirty paces away from us. If you go there, you won't be able to come back."

"Just bring the arrows back." Ding Laosan said, "But I need your help, one by one, one by one in five steps, to bring the arrows back."

It seems that until now, the battle has not only reduced the number of troops and lack of food, but even the arrows are almost used up.As a result, the enemy's camp was set up thirty steps below the city so close.It is to bully the city without arrows.

More than 200 people from the Eighth Regiment fought against more than a thousand enemies and fought fiercely for more than 20 days. Up to now, there are only a dozen people left.The more than a thousand enemies suffered even more damage. Of course, it was not the [-] or so who died, but the [-] or more who were left to crucify the dozen or so people in the city to prevent them from escaping.A small part was allocated, and they also went to report for help.The real battle damage is seven or eight hundred.

He Youlu said: "If that method worked, we would have used it long ago. Do the math, how many fingers do you need to pick up fifteen arrows? At most three arrows, and you will be shot like a hedgehog."

Ding Laosan walked to the door and looked down the city, "We have another way, let's grab the crossbow! One hand is enough."

"Enemy crossbowmen never leave the camp. Are you planning to touch their camp? Dreaming."

"Anyway, I don't eat Tang Jun's food for nothing!" Ding Laosan said loudly.

He Youlu sneered and said, "You're right, if you can live, who will seek death? Let me, I will plan to wait for reinforcements when I am full."

Everyone broke up.

In the middle of the night, while everyone was fast asleep, Ding Laosan quietly put down the rope, fell down the city wall by himself, and touched the enemy's position.

However, in a haze, he saw a person ahead of him, who came down one step earlier, and that was... Lao He?

Ding Laosan couldn't believe it. He Youlu, who had been waiting for reinforcements, had been lying to everyone. At the critical moment, he was braver.

He Youlu took out two mint leaves, chewed them, saw that the enemy had a war horse in front of him alone, so he touched it quietly, if he got this horse, it would be more profitable.

It's a pity that this is a trap, the six lying around the horse are not corpses, but enemies, Ding Laosan watched He Youlu being captured helplessly.

On the top of the wall, Xiao Gui beat Zhang Xiaojing awake with stones, Zhang Xiaojing fell down and dragged Ding Laosan back.

The next morning, the enemy tied up He Youlu and tortured him face to face. The screams stimulated the eighth regiment defending the city.

"Xiao Gui, do you still have arrows?" Zhang Xiaojing shouted angrily.

Xiao Gui turned his head away, "It's gone!"

How could there not even be one?Xiao Gui knew that the arrow was not for killing the enemy, but for He Youlu's release.

"Ah! You can't drop Lao He..." Two people roared and threw down the rope, wanting to fall to save others.

"Get down, get down quickly..." Zhang Xiaojing and Wen Wuji shouted at the same time.

It's a pity that the enemy reacted quickly, and the arrows were fired, and the eighth regiment lost two more brothers.

"Zhang Xiaojing draws his sword, anyone who goes down will be dealt with by military law!" Wen Wuji ordered.

Ding Laosan rushed over angrily and threw himself at Chen Xingfan, grabbed him by the neck and asked, "Chen Xingfan, when will the reinforcements arrive?"

"I just want everyone to eat two full meals, I just want you to have two full meals..."

"Let me ask you, will the reinforcements arrive tonight or tomorrow morning?"

Chen Xingfan finally couldn't hold back anymore, and cried, "Don't try to save He Youlu anymore, it doesn't matter if you save him or not, we all have to die!"

"What do you mean? What do you mean?..."

"There will be no reinforcements, no reinforcements will come..."

Both of them yelled frantically.

Zhang Xiaojing pushed away the third child, grabbed Chen Xingfan by the collar and asked, "Where's the food you brought back? It's military food! It has the mark of the Fortress of Kucha on it."

Chen Xingfan cried and said: "In the past ten days, I went to the Kucha fortress, and the four fortresses, large and small, and five beacon towers around it were all empty. Even the more than 200 military members who reclaimed the military fields , are already invisible. The land has become a wasteland, as if no one has ever planted it..."

Everyone was stunned and had a bad premonition in their hearts.

Zhang Xiaojing questioned, "There were still people when we came."

"It has been evacuated a long time ago. I have not encountered a single Tang army on this journey. I really have no choice. I dug some spare food from the cellar of the Kucha Fortress and brought them back. There are no reinforcements. Datang doesn't care about us..."

Ding Laosan opened his eyes and retorted: "You are talking nonsense, we are the eighth regiment, the regiment that has received the most awards from the Anxi Iron Army! Before we left, General Gai saw us off in person, why don't you ignore us? Why don't you ignore us! Did you go to the enemy army and become a spy?"

Chen Xingfan was enraged, "Me? I will be a spy for a thief?"

As he spoke, he knelt down in the direction of the military flag, beat his chest and said loudly: "I, Chen Xingfan, volunteered to defend the border of the Tang Dynasty. My parents, wife, children, and children were all moved from the affluent Sichuan to Suiye City, where I planted military fields. , here is my home!"

Will I be a spy for the enemy army?ah?Will I be a spy for the enemy army?

Ding Laosan drew out the horizontal knife, put it on Chen Xingfan's neck and asked loudly: "Then why are you wearing the enemy's clothes? Why did the enemy lure us?"

Chen Xingfan angrily took off his fox-fur clothes, and said in a hoarse voice: "On the way back, I met three spies from the enemy, and I killed them. Before he died, he shouted in his native dialect, and they I don't know if I can understand it."

"He said: Three thousand troops will arrive within two days, and your heads will be beheaded!"

"The ones coming are their reinforcements... 3000 people, ten regiments!"

Chen Xingfan burst into tears, and the knife in Ding Laosan's hand fell to the ground with a clang, and everyone was stunned.
