Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

699 Sharp contrast
All the mansions were busy cooking and delivering food to Nancheng, and at this time, the battle situation in Nancheng was still stalemate.The Liao army under the city was suppressed by the rebels and advanced very slowly.These Liao troops also came all the way, and they didn't have a good rest last night.At this time, the fierce battle has been going on all night, people are tired and horses are exhausted, even hungry and hungry, each of them has little strength to attack.

"General, this won't work. You see, the soldiers are exhausted. If this continues, we may not be able to hold on." A general saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

The general of the Liao Army shook his head, "No, we must persevere. We are tired, and those people in the city are even more tired. We are hungry, and they are also hungry. At this time, it depends on who can hold on. As long as we hold on, there is hope to break through Luzhou. It’s not far from the moat now, we’ve worked so hard to get here, we can’t waste our efforts.”

Since the chief general said so, the people below naturally did not dare to refute.They did lose a lot of people that night. Of the [-] soldiers and horses they brought from Chizhou, it is estimated that there are not even [-] left.The loss of soldiers has reached such a point, and the city wall of Luzhou has not yet been defeated. This battle is really aggrieved.

It's just that the Liao army is already short of men and horses. At this time, the rhythm of the attack has obviously slowed down.Of course, the rebels and common people in Luzhou City are also tired and hungry at the moment, but they are only supported by a wave of faith.After all, it is defending the city, the casualties are lighter, and you can hold your ground if you grit your teeth.

At this time, Qiaoyun and others happened to come to Nancheng, "General Xu, please order the soldiers to come over and get some food. It's not okay if you don't eat or drink like this. I specially ordered someone to bake pancakes, This thing is convenient, one person can come and get one, and it will fill their stomachs."

When everyone was starving, when they heard this, they were naturally overjoyed.General Xu saw that the pace of the Liao army's attack had slowed down a bit, and he knew that the people below could not hold on any longer, so he ordered everyone to take turns to fetch food, eat as soon as possible and then come back.

Without General Xu's instructions, everyone understood this truth, so the guards and civilians took turns to fetch food in an orderly manner.

Qiaoyun and the others are all women, with little strength, so naturally they couldn't carry those big baskets to the city.But when these soldiers saw it, they all rolled up their sleeves, carried big baskets and walked up.As they walked, everyone couldn't help sniffling.

In the basket are freshly baked hot and fragrant white flour oil cakes, and on the other end are freshly baked, hot braised pork slices that have just been cut.These things are not something that can be eaten casually, let alone at this moment, everyone is hungry, how can they hold back the saliva?
The people carried the big baskets to the city, and then Qiao Yun and other women also came up and distributed food to everyone one by one.At the moment, I don't care about those things, I don't care about the clean and discarded ones for a long time, and I just have a piece of cake for each person, and roll some slices of meat in by the way.All the soldiers just took the cakes and ate them directly.

The pancakes were baked relatively large, and one pancake was enough to fill one's stomach, not to mention the ones with sliced ​​meat inside, which was especially good against hunger.All these boys opened their mouths wide to eat, and it didn't take long for a piece of cake to go into their stomachs.After eating the cakes in their hands in two or three strokes, everyone hurried back to replace other people to get food.

There was that young man who was mischievous, while holding the cake in his hand, he even waved towards the outside of the city, and shouted a few words, which meant that he was nothing more than showing off.At this time, the Liao army outside the city was not too far away from the moat, so they could naturally see the situation on the city clearly.Especially the few people who showed off deliberately, shaking the oily white flour cakes in their hands, but they pissed off the people below.

Good guy, they are trying so hard to siege the city, but the other city is better, and they have eaten something, it is still a big pancake.Seeing those people in the city deliberately gulping food, the people below were immediately discouraged.

From last night to now, they haven't stopped attacking. At this moment, each of them has no strength in their bodies, and their stomachs are already growling with hunger.If they couldn't see what was going on in the city, they could still grit their teeth and endure it for a while, but at this moment, they were starving one by one, while the opponent was happily enjoying the food.This stark contrast made the Liao army below lose their energy all of a sudden, and many people simply stopped and stopped attacking.

The rhythm of the attack stopped suddenly, and the general of the Liao army behind was stunned at that time, "What's going on? Why didn't you continue to attack? Seeing that we are about to reach the moat, wouldn't it be a waste of all previous efforts to stop at this time? Quick, continue to attack , the city can't last long, we must take down Luzhou City."

However, no matter how the general of the Liao army shouted, the soldiers in front did not move at all, and the brave ones shouted at the other end. "General, how long have we been attacking here? You don't even look at it, the sun is already high. We don't let people eat at this time, and our hungry legs are weak, who is capable of fighting?"

"The emperor is not sending hungry soldiers. He has no food in his stomach and can't move." There are countless people who agree with one person who raises his head.At this time, there were really many people who simply threw away the weapons in their hands, sat down on the ground, and rested on the spot.

The general of the Liao army was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, "When is this? We are not far from the city wall of others, and you are still sitting down and resting, so you are not afraid that someone will shoot down with bows and arrows and tie you into hedgehogs." Get up for me, if anyone dares to pick someone up at this time, don't blame me for being rude." While speaking, he drew out his waist knife, and the meaning was naturally self-evident.

The soldiers were naturally dissatisfied, but what the general said made sense. This place is not far from the city wall. If they shot a rain of arrows, they would really be like hedgehogs.In order to save their lives, these people reluctantly got up from the ground, holding their weapons weakly, but they didn't want to continue to attack.

The situation outside the city was clearly seen by everyone in the city. Naturally, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.At that time, General Xu directly ordered to release arrows, and shot towards the most densely populated place of the Liao army below.

Just at this moment, most of the staff have finished eating, and their stomachs are full, and their spirits are back.At this moment, everyone's eyes widened, and the bow string was drawn like a full moon, and countless bows and arrows were shot towards the outside of the city.The arrows were like shooting stars, so fast that people couldn't dodge them. In an instant, countless Liao troops outside the city were shot and fell to the ground.

Originally, these Liao troops had no intention of fighting, and when they encountered such a situation again, they didn't know which one it was, so they turned around and ran back.When one ran, countless people followed, and in a blink of an eye, a large number of Liao troops all retreated.
