Chapter 127 Steamed Bread Can Break the City(2/2)
He did not dare to punish the soldiers and ran away in a hurry.
When Boruphua received the report, he was also shocked and dumbfounded.
"They are such insidious and vicious red thieves. There is no need to be afraid of them. I have already sent a letter asking for help to the Prime Minister. As soon as the Prime Minister's army arrives, they will surely fall apart!"
Wanhu nodded quickly, but it takes time to deploy troops and generals. The prime minister's army has not arrived yet, so how can he survive this period of time?
"Your Majesty, we still need to give you guys a little sweetness to stabilize the morale of the army!"
Boluo Puhua snorted loudly and ordered his men to give the soldiers some meat to eat.
It was okay if this order was not given, but after it was given, everything went into chaos immediately.
The people of Yangzhou City have been starving for nine meals in three days. They have eaten up all the food they can. To put it bluntly, even rat holes have been dug repeatedly, and the sustainable fishing has been exhausted.
Those young men and young apprentices lost their income due to the closure of their stores, and due to the war, they were unable to return to their hometowns, so they were trapped in Yangzhou City.
Weak and sick, many people die every day.
Most of these people's bodies have never been found, and they have all become food for similar people.
When the misery has reached this point, it is impossible to plunder the people.
Some large households did have some food reserves, but these large households were good friends with the prince, and many of them were open to the sky and could not be moved at all. After thinking about it, there were only the remaining war horses in the city.
Kill it and eat the meat!
At this point, no one cares about whether the horse is good or bad. Let’s have a good meal first!
Many soldiers began to kill horses for meat, but there were also many soldiers who had no horses to kill, and the problem of not only suffering from scarcity but also inequality emerged again.
A dispute broke out among many soldiers over a mouthful of unpalatable horse meat, which turned into a fight. One night, dozens of people were beaten to death.
How can we go out of the city to fight when our own people are making such a fuss?
Just that night, almost a hundred people came out of the city through the water gate.
The guys were soaked and shivering, and ran to the Zhujiajun camp.
True to their word, they were asked to sit by the fire to keep warm, and then steamed buns were brought to them.
This group of people grabbed the food in their hands and burst into tears. It was considered that they had food.
It smells so good!
Turning around, there were more than a hundred Yangzhou people on Zhu Jiajun's side. They spoke Yangzhou dialect and shouted into the city... When they got to the meal, they took out steamed buns again. Today, I won't eat yam and roast pork.
It became a stewed goose.
"Brothers, come and eat! It's all prepared for you! Don't worry, we will treat the prisoners preferentially!"
The garrison at the top of the city just watched, especially those who had not eaten horse meat last night, their stomachs growling with hunger.
After waiting for a while, the food arrived, but it was just a dark, hard pancake with bran added. It was as hard as gravel. When it was scratched across the throat, it was almost like torture. I had to drink soup.
Send it down.
But the soup was also smelly, and the few vegetable leaves left in it were all rotten.
This meal is inedible!
Not even as good as a pig or a dog!
Wang Heihu is a hunter. He is very agile and has made several military exploits in the Yuan army. However, he has never been reused. He is angry. Yesterday, he was robbed of horse meat and was whipped several times by a Mongolian householder.
Even if you scold him and don’t urinate, do you think a Han deserves to eat meat?
Wang Heihu was very angry. Today's food is like this again. Why should I work for you?
When people were not paying attention, he sneaked to the crenel, used the climbing rope to follow himself, and got off the city wall. It was the dry season and the moat was not deep. He quietly swam across the moat. When he reached the other side, the guy suddenly got up and threw his legs.
Just run, faster than a rabbit!
The Mongol generals who guarded the city saw this and were furious. They immediately ordered arrows to be fired to kill the traitor... However, no one responded to their orders. Even those who did move lazily raised their weapons to attack and were unable to shoot.
In fact, someone saw Wang Heihu when he went down to the city. Everyone didn't say anything, just hoping that there would be such a person to test it out!
Wang Heihu ran wildly and arrived in front of Zhu Jiajun's position, "I, I surrender, give me, give me something to eat!"
After a while, two big steamed buns and a goose leg were delivered to Wang Heihu.
"Eat it!"
This man who was born as an Orion buried his head and ate a steamed bun in three bites. He grabbed the goose leg and took a big bite. His face was full of intoxication. This is what people eat.
He lay on the ground and kowtowed.
"Thank you for the reward, I'm alive again!"
Wang Heihu turned around and shouted towards the city.
"Did you see it? We've got goose meat! Come on!"
Wang Heihu shouted over and over again, walking from one city wall to the other.
At the top of Yangzhou City, countless soldiers stared at Wang Heihu, and the yearning in their eyes was self-evident. Although no one ran out again, I don't know how many hearts have left.
Bo Luopuhua, the king of Zhennan, also felt ominous.
We can't go on like this. In a few days, we will collapse without a fight.
Be sure to drive away the red thieves!
The prince mobilized his cronies and planned to take advantage of the night to take the initiative to fight and fight! Boluo Puhua personally took action, selected 8,000 people, led them, opened the city gate, and killed them out under the cover of night.
But just as Boluopu was leaving the city, countless young men poured out from nowhere, and they rushed towards the city gate.
The soldiers guarding the city wanted to stop them, but when they saw that the number of people was too large and boundless, they simply joined in. Just like that, as soon as Boluopuhua left the city, the city gate behind it was seized by Yangzhou people.
