"What did you mean by what you just said! Tell me again."
At this moment, Xue Rengui's tone was a little serious. The soldier looked at Western Zhou Dynasty, and then took out an arrow on his palm. His palm grasped the arrow deeply, and blood flowed out.
"This was found in my eldest brother's body. A broken arrow was shot from his back. You should also have discovered that my father used to be a military blacksmith, so he is relatively familiar with equipment. ;
The heavy cavalry attacking this time did not seem to be equipped by our Sui Dynasty, but the arrow that killed my eldest brother happened to be an arrow made by the Sui Dynasty. "
Xue Rengui looked at the arrow and then said.
"Is it possible that it is just a coincidence, although the bows and arrows fired by those heavy cavalry are indeed somewhat different from the bows and arrows of our Sui Dynasty;
But could the equipment on those cavalry be made by someone else? Although the appearance is a little different, there must still be one or two bows and arrows that are similar. "
The bad guy looked at Xue Rengui in front of him and suddenly realized that he was a warrior with profound internal strength.
"Forget it, even if I tell you, you don't believe it. If you don't tell anyone else about this, I'm afraid I will die."
Xue Rengui looked at the bad guy, and then just turned to leave. The bad guy hesitated for a moment, and then grabbed him by the corner of his clothes.
Then he spoke.
"I also discovered another thing. Among the grain and grass that were set on fire, there were actually dead leaves. Except for the grain and grass that survived the half-burned car, I am afraid that those grains and grass have been burned. The grain and grass are all these dead leaves.”
When Xue Rengui heard this, his expression instantly became solemn, and then he looked at the bad guy in front of him and said.
"You can't be a spy sent by the enemy and want to talk nonsense here."
The bad guy said calmly.
"Believe it or not, I have decided to run away tonight."
When Xue Rengui heard this, he grabbed his throat and said.
"You guys actually want to be a deserter."
"I originally became a soldier just for a bite of food, but now there is not enough food. If I don't run away, why should I wait here to die? The current King of Tang is no longer the King of Tang;
In the past, I followed him, on the one hand, because he was the hero of the Sui Dynasty, King Tang, and he could lead us to protect our family and the country, but now he has become Wu Sangui and others;
But if the King of Tang really had the ability to follow him to overthrow the Sui Dynasty, it would not be a bad thing, but the premise of all this is that I can survive;
There is not enough food and grass now. How can you follow me? If you want to wait here to die, I won't take it. Do you think you will have food and grass when you enter Taizhou? Don't be kidding. "
At this moment, an officer happened to hear the bad guy's words and rushed over and kicked him away. Before the bad guy could speak, the officer pulled out his sword. , chop off the head at once.
The officer then looked at Xue Rengui and said.
"What did this guy say to you just now?"
Xue Rengui shook his head, and the officer said loudly.
"I know that many people here are new soldiers, but it is impossible to survive without going through the training on the battlefield. Although most of the food and grass have been destroyed, we can still hold on with the remaining food and grass;
Today the enemy has destroyed our food and grass, but it cannot destroy our invincibility. As long as we persevere and defeat the enemy, we will be able to obtain a large amount of food and grass;
There is still a lot of food and grass in Taizhou. As long as we get there, there is still hope for everything. "
After the officer finished speaking, and just as he was about to leave, Xue Rengui suddenly took his hand and asked.
"Master Qian Fu, I suddenly remembered that this thing seems to have been dropped on the ground by the person just now."
The captain looked at the arrow, his expression changed obviously, and then he took the arrow from Xue Rengui's hand by force.
Without saying a word, he turned and left.
Seeing this scene, Xue Rengui noticed something was wrong for the first time.
"Maybe what that person said just now is true."
Soon, following what the bad guy said before, Tang Jun, who was still full of morale, suddenly started to have various rumors.
However, they were all forcibly restrained by the officers. Li Zicheng also said that he would be the first to take them into Taizhou early tomorrow morning. If they encounter heavy cavalry again this time, they must all stay behind.
At nightfall, Xue Rengui was lying on his bed. At this time, a soldier next to him spoke.
"Boss, what did the dead guy say to you? I just heard Wang Laosan next door say that our food and grass were actually insufficient for a long time, before the enemy troops came to attack;
Several officers responsible for managing grain and grass disappeared mysteriously, and several people who discussed grain and grass were, like the man this morning, first killed by the captains;
You said you are talking about disturbing the morale of the army. You said that if there is really insufficient food and grass and we cannot reach Taizhou, then we will starve to death. "
After hearing what his men said, Xue Rengui was the first to scold him.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We can definitely succeed."
At this time, a veteran next to Xue Rengui took over.
“There is no food and grass in Taizhou, and even if there is, it is probably necessary to take it from the people by force, but that’s right, either they will die, or we will die;
It’s not like you haven’t seen the state of Fuzhou before. The people’s families have been destroyed. How do you think Taizhou can be any better? "
After hearing this, Xue Rengui sat up for the first time.
"I joined the army to protect my family and the country. If I, like those Jurchens, are cruel to those unarmed people, then what is the difference between me and those Jurchens."
