C817

Ren Fang did not plan to rescue the trapped Huan Army, but the envoys of the Huan Country were travelling day and night, rushing to the camp of the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country, requesting Ren Fang to send reinforcements.

No matter what, Huan Country was an ally, since they had come looking for him, Ren Fang could not reject them. Although he had promised them on the surface, in his heart, he did not have much hope of saving them.

He had never personally come to the battlefield, but he had carefully read the battle report. His Feng Army stratagem was not brilliant, and if Shangguan Yuan had not let him, his stratagem of luring the enemy into the fray would have been discovered by anyone. Since the Huan Army was used to hunt enemies, they paid particular attention to speed, and it was impossible for the army to carry supplies, only two days worth of rations was left at the very most, and now that he was trapped in the danger zone, it would already be considered good if he could hold on for four or five days. But right now, he had just reached the border of Ann Country, so even if he rushed over, it would at least take him close to a month. I'm afraid that even if I'm hungry, I'll starve to death.

In addition, since the Feng Army had already entered into battle, the million strong army on their side disregarded everything and rushed to the rescue, what if they fell into the Feng Army's trap?

Due to various concerns, Ren Fang agreed happily, but in truth, the speed at which the Allied Army of Chuan Country And Zhen Country advanced did not increase, and continued to maintain his original appearance.

Regarding his decision, Zhen Country Commander Nie Ze was extremely dissatisfied. In the past, when had two armies, he had no objections with such a speed. He wanted to use the two armies of Ann Country And Hui Country as pathfinders too, but now that both armies were finished, and they needed their own forces to go up the battle, maintaining such speed, wouldn't it delay the time of the battle?

Nie Ze was the same as Ren Fang, they were both Chief General, and were around 10 years older than the latter. However, Ren Fang was the Alliance Army Commander, so he did not agree to march at full speed, so Nie Ze had no choice but to inform his own king secretly.

Actually, Ren Fang's considerations were very reasonable. The Huan Army trapped in the Death Valley for less than a month, had already started to become unable to endure for merely three days.

The medicine for Huan Army was used up on the first day. In the following two days, the injured people did not have any medicine to apply to the wounds, so the wounds started to become inflamed and festering, and following that, people started to have a high fever, unable to retreat. In this way, the army could use the water even faster.

Under these conditions, light injuries became serious, and the severely injured soldiers would often close their eyes and never open them again. In this huge canyon, regardless of whether it was day or night, the intermittent sounds of the injured soldiers could be heard. The Feng Army on top of the mountain was tormented to the point where it was hard for them to sleep, and the Huan Army on top of the canyon could be imagined. Everyone was almost driven mad, and they even had the impulse to pick up their weapons and kill all the injured people.

Three days later, with not a single drop of water remaining from the Huan Army and not a single grain of food left, the eyes of the Huan Army soldiers who were so hungry that they were about to faint started to emit blue light.

The infantry had no feelings for horses or soldiers, but the cavalry could see their horses as lives. When they saw groups of soldiers pouncing on their horses, the cavalry immediately rushed forward to stop them. In front of the hungry soldiers who had lost their minds, they were either knocked down on the ground or stabbed to death by random blades.

At this time, the situation in the Huan Army had already begun to spiral out of control.

But how could the few horses in the Huan Army be enough for eighty thousand people to eat? After eating all the war horses that could be slain secretly, the people began to eat the weeds on the ground. Some of them didn't get any grass, and even used their sabers to scrape the moss on the stone wall.

After five days, there was nothing left to eat in the valley. At this time, the most cruel scene occurred ? people were eating people!

Until now, the valley was not like the human world, but more so, the Hungry Ghost Realm in Liu Dao's reincarnation cycle.

It was not that Xu Qing did not control his subordinates, it was just that he could not control them at all. In front of the most basic of human needs, his orders were insignificant and no one listened to him.

In this kind of situation, Xu Qing was still able to hold on for a full seven days. Seven days later, even he was so thirsty and hungry that he had the urge to eat human flesh and drink human blood. He couldn't hold on any longer, and he couldn't wait for the reinforcements to arrive either.

When the battle to break out of the encirclement ended, there were still more than eighty thousand people left. Seven days later, when all of them surrendered, there were a total of ten thousand less. Some people died from illness, some were killed, and some were eaten alive. When Feng Army received these seventy thousand soldiers, no one could tell what kind of mood they were in.

When they saw that there was food brought in by the Feng Army, countless of Huan Soldier swarmed forward, grabbing it and stuffing it into their mouths. Only after eating a few mouthfuls, did many of them cover their throats and fall to the ground to cough dryly. As for the injured people in the Huan Army, many of them did not know how to save them. The large area of rot and maggots covering the wounds had caused them to be on the verge of death ?

Liang Qi intentionally got people to invite the Huan Army commander, Xu Qing, into his own tent. Although he said it was an invitation, in reality, he had just brought it here. He did not even have the chance to drink a drop of water or eat anything, and Xu Qing was so weak that he could not even stand steadily.

Towards his defeated opponent, Liang Qi was still very polite, he invited Xu Qing to sit, and even asked for people to bring him meat and wine.

Xu Qing wanted to be courteous for a few words, but he was unable to come out. He grabbed the piece of meat on his plate and swallowed it whole, but after eating a few mouthfuls, he bent down and vomited again. Liang Qi revealed a bitter smile as he looked at the generals around him.

Tao Yu walked up to Xu Qing and supported him with good intentions: "General Xu may not have eaten for a few days, so it's not appropriate for you to eat too quickly right now. Drink some wine first."

Xu Qing obediently picked up the wine cup, and with a gulu sound, drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a cup of wine, a hint of color finally returned to his pale face. He sat on the mat and let out a long sigh.

After he had rested for a while, Liang Qi smiled lightly and said: "General Xu, have you suffered a lot these past few days?"

Xu Qing swallowed his saliva and raised his head to look at Liang Qi. After a while, he suddenly realized that the youth who was sitting in the middle ought to be the Feng Army Commander.

He quickly got up and kneeled on the ground. He bowed his head and said, "Defeated general, greet the general!"

Right now, his identity was that of a captive, and he possessed the authority to kill and kill him as well as the tens of thousands of soldiers under his command. How could he dare not display the utmost caution and respect?!

Liang Qi laughed, and waved his hand: "General Xu, no need to be polite, quickly get up."2

"Thank you, General."

"My name is Liang Qi, and I'm the commander of the Feng Country."

"I understand." Xu Qing naturally knew that his opponent was Sanshui Army, and he also knew that the commander of the Sanshui Army was the Feng Country's Chief General, Liang Qi.

Liang Qi nodded his head, and laughed: "On the battlefield, if there is anything that offends General Xu, I hope that General Xu will not take offense to it."

Never would he have thought that Liang Qi would be so courteous to him. Xu Qing felt flattered and immediately clasped his hands together: "General is too courteous, I should be the one thanking you for showing mercy."

Liang Qi's expression became serious and said: "The two nations, Feng Huan, have no old grudges with each other. Instead, the merchants of the two nations often interact, I do not know why the Your Country suddenly sent out troops to invade my Feng Country?"

was stunned by these words, and did not know how to reply. If one were to say that the Feng Country had kidnapped the Son of Heaven, the Huan Country had sent out their troops to suppress them, and that he was courting death, if one were to say that the Huan Country did not dare offend the Chuan Country And Zhen Country, and had responded to the calls of the two nations to send out his troops, it would be too embarrassing. Xu Qing stammered for a long time without saying anything, he was so anxious that beads of perspiration could be seen on his forehead.

Liang Qi did not make things difficult for him, and spoke faintly: "Logically speaking, when the two nations fight, the two armies fight, and view the other party as their mortal enemy. Today, General Xu was forced to lead his troops to surrender, I should behead them all."

Hearing that, Xu Qing's head buzzed, and he almost fell to the ground. He shook his hand and said anxiously, "Will..." General... No... "No ?"

I have decided that I will not kill all of you, and release you back home. I only hope that when General Xu sees His Majesty Huan after we return, he will explain that I, Windy, do not have any intentions to fight against him, and I hope that Huan Country will not attack me again. For today's battle, I will treat it as a misunderstanding, and I, Windy, will not pursue it any further.

These words were spoken with sonorous power by the scholar like Liang Qi, and his eyes shone with a terrifying light. The oppressive feeling and aura that he emitted made all the other generals of the Feng Army have a whole new level of respect for him.

In the eyes of the generals, Liang Qi was a cunning and cunning fox on the battlefield.

Xu Qing was sweating profusely from listening, he could not find anything to say and could only nod his head in agreement.

The frosty look on Liang Qi's face quickly disappeared, and returned to the gentleness of the past. He smiled and said: "Alright, that's all I have to say.

"No no no, I don't dare, I ?" "I would like to immediately set out on a journey home ?" How could Xu Qing dare to stay any longer in the Wind Camp? Liang Qi was now happy, and decided to let all of his side go, but who knew when he would be unhappy, and when he would execute all of their people?

In a land of conflict, it was best to leave early!

Liang Qi looked at Xu Qing in amusement and asked in reply: "The Mo Country is a thousand miles away from the Huan Country. General Xu, are you sure the soldiers under your command have the strength to walk home now?"

"This ?" Let alone his subordinates, even Xu Qing himself didn't have the stamina to make such a long journey.

Liang Qi smiled and said: "General Xu, please rest assured. Our army will leave tomorrow and leave behind our tents and sufficient provisions. We will not let Your Army stay in the wilderness any longer.
