Meng Tianhai and the others came to Mao'er Mountain with only a few days of food rations. Even if they saved more after being trapped, they would have eaten them all long ago.
Now, not to mention wild boars and rabbits, even mice, frogs, snakes and other things hiding in the holes have been dug up in the Maoershan area.
Then the soldiers began to chew the bark and eat the roots.
If we delay any longer, let alone fighting, the soldiers will starve to death.
During this period, Meng Tianhai also tried to lead people to break out of the encirclement, but the Tubo people occupied the favorable terrain and could not break out at all.
Just when Meng Tianhai was about to make a desperate move, he received a letter from the Ninth Princess.
After discovering that most of the Tubo people at the foot of the mountain had evacuated, Meng Tianhai immediately realized that the Ninth Princess's action had begun.
He immediately ordered the quartermaster to take out all the remaining grain and give the soldiers a full meal.
"Sir, please eat something. If you don't eat, you will get cold."
The deputy general persuaded him while holding a bowl of vegetable porridge.
Ever since the Tubo action, Meng Tianhai had been standing on the boulder on the mountainside, staring westward, for fear of missing any information.
"I'm not hungry. You can give the food to the wounded."
Meng Tianhai is not in the mood to eat at all now.
The deputy general was about to persuade him again when he suddenly saw Meng Tianhai's chest rising and falling violently.
Following Meng Tianhai's gaze to the west, he didn't know when a column of smoke appeared in the sky.
"Inform all the captains to come to my tent!"
Meng Tianhai pushed the deputy general away and jumped off the boulder.
The lieutenant threw the bowl away, turned around and ran away.
A few minutes later, generals above the rank of captain immediately gathered at Meng Tianhai's tent.
"You should have guessed why I came here with you, right?"
Meng Tianhai said: "Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess has led away most of the Tubo people. Now there are only two banners. This is our last chance. If we can't rush out again, don't wait for your Highness to come and behead us. Let's starve to death together in the hat."
Forget about the mountain!"
"General, I, Tiehuying, are willing to be the vanguard. If we cannot recapture Yazui Ridge, I, Chen Feng, will die to apologize!"
A big man with a beard and a beard cupped his fists and asked for a fight.
Tiehu Camp was established by Qing Mulan's father, Qing Liancheng. He followed Qing Liancheng in battles in the north and south for decades, and was considered the most powerful combat unit under Qing Xinyao.
A normal battalion in the Dakang Army has a maximum of 1,000 people, and rarely has a number. It is called the first battalion and the second battalion. However, the Iron Tiger Camp has a number and has 2,200 people. It is a rare reinforced battalion.
That's why Meng Tianhai originally handed over the most important Yazui Ridge to Tiehu Camp for protection.
An iron-clad camp with flowing soldiers, Tiehu Camp has undergone many blood changes over the years. The veterans who fought with Qinglian City have long since left, and many of the soldiers are recruits who are on the battlefield for the first time.
In normal training and competitions, Tiehuying performed very well, but when they saw blood on the battlefield, many recruits were stunned.
More than 2,000 people still occupied favorable terrain, but they didn't even hold it for an hour before the enemy took Yazui Ridge away.
The most disappointing thing is that there are only 500 enemies...
In the past, the soldiers of Tiehu Camp were the pride of the army, and almost all soldiers were proud to be in Tiehu Camp.
But after this battle, Tiehuying was completely reduced to a laughing stock.
Now many soldiers cannot eat enough and take their anger out on Tiehu Camp.
When they met the soldiers from Iron Tiger Camp, they made sarcastic remarks just to save face, and many people spat directly at them.
No matter how aggrieved Tiehuying is, he can only endure it.
After all, Yazuiling was indeed lost from their hands.
For an army with a strong record, being insulted all day long is simply more uncomfortable than killing them.
As the boss of Tiehu Camp, Chen Fengzhi is under greater pressure than ordinary soldiers.
Now that he knew there was hope of retaking Yazuiling, Chen Fengzhi immediately asked for a fight.
"Are you sure?" Meng Tianhai glanced at Chen Fengzhi: "Now that the Tibetans occupy favorable terrain, it will not be easy to recapture Yazuiling!"
In fact, Meng Tianhai was also somewhat dissatisfied with Tiehuying.
If they hadn't fallen behind, they wouldn't be so passive now.
Even if you can successfully break through this time, you will still be punished if you go back.
At least you can never escape after a meal.
"Don't worry, general, I will personally supervise the battle this time. If anyone dares to take a step back, I, Chen Fengzhi, will kill him!"
Chen Fengzhi pulled out his dagger and slashed his palm: "Even if Tiehu Camp is completely destroyed and I, Chen Fengzhi, am left alone, I will never tarnish the reputation of Tiehu Camp again!"
Meng Tianhai stared at Chen Fengzhi for a while, nodded and said: "Then I will trust Tiehuying again. I hope you won't disappoint me! Go and prepare!"
"Yes!" Chen Fengzhi clasped his fists, bowed, and exited the tent.
What he fears most is that if Meng Tianhai refuses to agree, he will lose even a chance to wash away his shame.
After Chen Fengzhi left, Meng Tianhai continued to make arrangements:
"The first battalion is responsible for the left wing, the second battalion is responsible for the right wing, Lao Qin, Lao Lin, your third and fourth battalions are responsible for holding down the formation. If Tiehu Camp fails, you hurry up and rush out. This time no matter what, you must rush out!"
"yes!"
The remaining captains also clasped their fists and left.
…
In the Tibetan camp at the foot of the mountain, Sangji has been sending people to keep an eye on Mao'er Mountain.
Meng Tianhai's troops began to assemble their troops. The movement was too great and it was impossible to hide it.
Sanchi also held a meeting of generals as soon as possible.
"Brothers, Meng Tianhai has begun to gather. He must have discovered that Mima has taken away most of the centaurs and is about to break out!"
Sanji patted the table and said: "You all must be prepared. Even if only the last person is left, you must defend Yazui Ridge for me!"
"If these cowards hadn't been hiding in the mountains, I would have killed them with my brothers from the Four Flags!"
The leader of the four flags shouted: "It would be best if he comes out on his own now!"
"Yes, get rid of these cowards and we won't have to guard this corner of the mountain!"
The leader of the five flags followed up and said: "I heard that Dunlian and the others followed General Danzhu to Xichuan Mansion and looted gold and silver horses that could no longer carry them. The centurion could get three or four girls every night, and they were all
A tender-skinned virgin!”
"Kill these cowards!"
When the other generals heard this, they all wanted to kill Meng Tianhai now and then go to Xichuan to make a fortune.
Meng Tianhai also knew that it was impossible to hide it from Sanji, so he did not plan a sneak attack and gathered the team near Yazuiling openly.
The leader is none other than Tiehuying.
"Brothers, we must stand up wherever we fall! Yazui Ridge was lost by our Tiehu Camp, so we will take it back!"
Chen Fengzhi stood on the stone and shouted: "The prestige of Iron Tiger Camp was created by my father and a group of uncles, who followed Lao Qinggong and fought with their lives. If anyone dares to take a fucking step back this time, I will kill his whole family."
!”
"I will never retreat! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The lieutenant raised his arms and roared!
"I will never retreat! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
The soldiers of Tiehu camp also raised their sabers.
From being the favored son of heaven to being despised by everyone, they have been living a very miserable life in recent times.
Many soldiers had a fire in their hearts.
But some people showed fear.
In the last battle, the ferocity of the Tibetan soldiers had been imprinted on their hearts.
It cannot be washed away by shouting a few slogans.
On the mountain, the Tibetan infantry had also assembled, lined up and were ready.
