Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 204 Zhou Chu Is Captured

Chapter 208 Zhou Chu Captured

Ran Ming asked people to set up horses in front of the passages down the mountain. Before the horses were rejected, more than a dozen cauldrons were set up.In some pots, big bone soup is boiling, and the aroma from afar is compelling.

There are also steamed buns in the pot!

There are also pots of porridge.

Dozens of soldiers of the Wei army rushed up the mountain and shouted: "We are all Han people, and Han people don't beat Han people."

"Brothers on the mountain, come down here. There are white flour steamed buns and hot broth here. You don't need money. Just eat as much as you can. You can eat as much as you want!"

"Willing to join our Great Wei Army, each person will distribute [-] acres of military land, and the dead and disabled will be raised by the Great Wei!"

"If you don't want to join, we will give you money, [-] yuan per person, you can stay as you want!"

……

The shouts like waves made Zhou Chubu's morale even worse.

There was a strong cold wind on the mountain, even if Zhou Chu ordered logging and lighting fires to keep warm, the ubiquitous cold still could not be driven away!
"General, this battle cannot go on!" Ma Fang said anxiously.

Zhou Chu sighed deeply, "The hearts of the people are scattered, and it is difficult to lead the troops!"

"General, where do we go? We need to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise the army will be in danger of mutiny!" Gu Weizhi said earnestly, "Even if we save our food, it can only last for two days. If the weather is warmer, we can Relying on water for a few more days, but the weather is so cold that the soldiers are in danger of freezing to death if they go without food for one day!"

Zhou Chu looked at Ma Fang and said, "Are the soldiers still willing to fight again?"

The psychological battle on the first day did not achieve any effect.

However, Ran Ming received a report from Tianyan, and Huan Wen was held back by Dong Jin.The imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually used Xi Chao's second uncle, but Xi Tan seized the control of Jingzhou.

In order to stabilize the rear, Huan Wen has sent Huan Chong to Jingzhou.

This news made Ran Ming very happy.My heart is also much more relaxed.

Now that the confrontation with Huan Wen is certain, no matter how powerful Huan Wen is, he is powerless to change the situation of the battle.

Ran Ming also guessed in his heart, how would Huan Wen respond?
By the third day, Zhou Chu's troops had eaten the last grain.

In order to solve the food problem, Zhou Chu also ordered all the war horses, including his own beloved horse, to be killed to satisfy their hunger.However, there must be nearly 200 mouths, and they need to consume more than 2 stones of grain every day, which is equivalent to more than [-] catties. Hundreds of war horses barely lasted for a day.

The soldiers of the Xifu Army, who were so hungry that their hearts were pressed against their backs, could no longer remain indifferent to the steaming and fragrant broth from the foot of Wei Jun's mountain.

Chief Shihu De of the Xifu Army said to a thin and thin soldier beside him: "Binzai, you are only 13 years old this year. You are the last only seedling of our Hu family. It is too bad to starve to death here! Tonight, my uncle is on duty." , When the time comes, you will quietly go down the mountain, I will pretend not to see it!"

The young soldier's surname is Hu Mingbin.

Staring wide-eyed, he said puzzledly: "Uncle De, how about we go down the mountain together!"

Uncle De's elder smiled wryly and said: "Binzi, I am different from you. You are a loner, alone, and have no worries. But Uncle De, has received the kindness of the general. If you receive the kindness of a drop of water, you should spring up to repay it. De The uncle has no long-term possessions, and the only one life is to repay the kindness of the general. The only one death is to fulfill loyalty!"

Hu Bin said: "Uncle De won't leave, and neither will Bin!"

"Stupid boy!" Hu De stroked Hu Bin's head and said, "In this world, there are only two uncles and nephews left in our Hu family. If we are all dead, there will be no one who burns paper money on the festival day." .Binzai, you have to live well. In the future, you will marry a wife and have children, so that our Hu family can flourish and flourish! At this time every day, don’t forget to burn some paper money for Uncle De!"

Hu Bin broke down in tears.

It was night, Hu De, the commander of the Xifu Army, quietly put his only nephew, Hu Bin, down the mountain.

Hu Bin turned his head three times and walked down the hill slowly.

However, an accident happened at this time. The patrol team found someone moving quietly down the mountain. The mountain suddenly burst into flames, and someone shouted: "Come on, there is a fugitive soon, arrest him quickly."

A man who looked like a leader stopped: "Fuck you, in my opinion, just shoot him to death!"

Saying that, the leader took off the bow and arrow, and slowly opened it!

When Hood saw this situation, he became anxious.

Hood yelled: "Binzi, run, run!" As soon as the words fell, Hood jumped up, like a lion fighting a rabbit, and rushed towards the archer.After all, as a member of the Xifu Army, Hood didn't dare to make a direct move, so he threw the archer down at once.

Hu De begged for mercy: "Binzi is the last only seedling of our Hu family, please do me a favor and let him live!"

A member of the patrol used a scabbard sword as a stick and slammed it into Hood's lower back.

Unprepared, Hood fell to the ground screaming in pain.

"Thieves and birds, you can't rebel!" The leader of the patrol team was caught off guard just now, and was thrown to the ground by Hood. The arm of the bow knocked his teeth, and blood flowed.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, filled with resentment.Looking at Hood on the ground, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kicked Hood with his head uncovered.

While kicking Hood, the leader of the patrol team saw that Hu Bin had run out of the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted: "They are all fucking dead, hurry up and chase!"

When Hu Bin turned his head, he saw his uncle Hu De, who had fallen to the ground, holding a person's leg tightly.A general of the Jin army with a face full of evil spirits drew out his waist knife, raised it high, and slashed it down fiercely towards Hood's head...

Hu Bin shouted desperately: "No!"

A cold light flashed, and a big head rolled down the mountain.

Hu Bin didn't shed tears, his heart was full of remorse, and he didn't know where the strength came from, which made him run forward crazily.Seeing that the pursuers at the bottom of the mountain were about to catch up with him, he gritted his teeth, put his head in his hands, bent his body into a ball, and rolled down the mountain like a rubber ball.

The Wei army soldiers at the foot of the mountain also saw the change on the top of the mountain.

But they didn't know the truth, and thought that the Jin army was going to break out at night.

"Get ready, fight!" A Wei Junjun Sima hastily shouted: "Light up the wolf smoke and ask the friendly army for help!"

After a while, the Wei army hurriedly completed their formation. The passage at the foot of the mountain was narrow, and there were not many defenders. There were only more than 200 people, of which there were only fifty archers, fifty sword and shield soldiers, and fifty spearmen. Fifty spearmen.Surrounding the mountain pass, the Wei army led with swords and shields, followed by archers, and behind them were spearmen and spearmen!
Wei Jun saw a thin figure stumbling towards the mountain pass.

Wei Junjun Sima shouted: "Stop whoever comes, and anyone who violates the law will be killed!"

Hu Bin had already exhausted his physical strength, but Uncle De's death filled him with hatred.He raised his hands high and shouted: "Don't kill me, I surrender, I have no weapons!"

Seeing that Hu Bin was just before entering the Wei army formation, suddenly an arrow with a screaming sound flew towards Hu Bin.Hu Bin didn't have eyes behind him, so he couldn't see the arrow behind him. He heard the sound, and tried to avoid it, but it was too late.

"噗嗤" the sound of the arrow entering the flesh sounded, and an arrow hit Hu Bin's right shoulder impartially.Fortunately, the distance is still far away, the strength of the arrow has weakened, and it stops when it hits the flesh.

Sima Wei Junjun saw the Jin army rushing from behind and understood that they were shooting deserters.

Ranming, the king of Chu, issued a temporary military order. The soldiers of the Jin army who were captured were counted as normal beheadings, and the rewards for killing the enemy were halved.Seeing that the credit he had obtained had disappeared.Army Sima was very angry and immediately ordered: "Shoot with bow and arrow!"

Fifty bows were shot out at once, and a dozen of the Jin army's pursuers were shot and fell to the ground.The soldiers of the Jin army who were charging frantically saw the Wei army waiting in full battle, so they had to retreat angrily.

In the end, Hu Bin survived by luck.

Everyone didn't take this 13-year-old deserter seriously.

However, no one expected that this poor boy would become a famous naval general in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty in the parallel history.In the battle of Feishui, he showed his talents at the beginning, and finally became the prefect of Nanjun, Zhechong general!

Hu Bin's surrender to the foot of the mountain was just an introduction.

In order to establish the image of buying horse bones with a lot of money, Ran Ming received Hu Bin immediately after the appearance of the No. 1 Jin soldier who voluntarily surrendered down the mountain.

Ran Ming saw that Hu Bin was small, so he probably wasn't too old.He asked very kindly, "What's your name?"

Hu Bin replied: "The villain's name is Hu Bin!"

"Hu Bin?" Ran Ming felt that this name was very familiar in his head. Although he was not as famous as Liu Laozhi, Tian Luo, He Qian, Zhuge Kan, Gao Heng, Liu Gui, Sun Wuzhong, etc. This name has appeared in history.

After a while, Ran Ming remembered that Hu Bin was Xie Xuan's subordinate, a navy general.Hu Bin sent out to Shouyang (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province), a strategically important place for rescue.As a result, halfway through the journey, he learned that Shouyang had been captured by Qin general Liang Cheng, and then Hu Bin retreated to Xiashi (now southwest of Fengtai, Anhui).Hu Bin sent someone to rescue Xie Shi because of the lack of food, but the messenger was caught by the Qin army.

Because of Hu Bin's actions, the Qin army underestimated the enemy and rushed forward without knowing the real information in the Feishui battle, and finally lost the battle.

Ran Ming was very happy. Anyway, now he has no generals in water warfare, and he has very little knowledge in water warfare?

Found a treasure?Ran Ming sighed in his heart, this is a lucky general!Could it be the aura of the protagonist?
Ran Ming did not promote Hu Bin, the future naval general, but asked him if he would like to be a soldier.

Because Hu Bin saw his uncle's tragic death with his own eyes, his mind was extremely resolute. He now thinks that Wei Jun and Jin Jun are in a hostile relationship. As long as he follows Wei Jun, he will be able to take revenge one day!
Hu Bin was young, but he wasn't stupid either. He knelt down and said, "The villain is willing to follow the general to the death!"

Ran Ming made Hu Bin his bodyguard and book boy, just like Liu Laozhi!
As long as there is a beginning to surrender, the rest will come naturally.

Beginning at noon on the 29th of the first lunar month in the fourth year of Yongxing, the Zhou Chu tribe, which was in the cold and ran out of ammunition and food, did not persevere. Nearly [-] troops came down the mountain to surrender one after another.

Zhou Chu wanted to commit suicide, but was rescued by the guards around him!

Bound to Luoyang.
