Seeing Nurhachi's movement, Fei Yingdong stepped forward and walked to Nurhachi's side.
"What do we do next? Wait here to die? "
Fei Yingdong's face was full of unwillingness: "I don't want to end my life like this."
"You don't want to?"
Nurhachi asked.
"Of course not! I don't want to die like this! My death is worthless! "
Fei Yingdong angrily squatted on the ground and punched.
"Then how do you want to die?"
"Fight to the death like a warrior!"
Fei Yingdong looked at Nurhachi: "Even if I have to die, I don't want to die in vain, I want to die in battle! We still have three thousand men, why can't we die in battle? Why should we starve to death? "
"When did I say we were going to starve to death?"
Nurhachi grinned: "At this point, do you think we still need to starve to death?"
Nurhachi walked to the side of his warhorse and reached out to stroke the exhausted warhorse that was foaming at the corner of its mouth.
"It has been with me for five years, in hundreds of battles, and has always been with me. Sometimes I even feel that my son is not as close to me as it is to me."
"So?"
Fei Yingdong looked at Nurhaci in confusion, and then his pupils shrank. He saw Nurhaci pull out his knife and stab it into the horse's neck. The horse cried out in pain, twitched, and fell to the ground. Nurhaci fell to the ground with it, but he did not let go of the knife.
His behavior shocked everyone.
After a while, the warhorse lost its breath and stopped moving. Nurhachi also slowly got up, wiped the blood off his face, and looked at his people.
"We have come to a dead end, there is no way to go. If we go on, we will starve to death, the warhorse will also starve to death, and we will die in vain and worthless. Just now, Fei Yingdong told me that he doesn't want to die in vain, he wants to die in battle.
Good, I feel that this is a good way to die. Since we don't have anything to eat or drink, let's kill the warhorses and drink their blood and roast their meat. After we're full, we'll wait here for the Han to come. "
With that, Nurhachi bent over and scooped up a handful of horse blood, swallowing it while enduring the strong fishy smell.
The scene was silent for a while. Fei Yingdong was the one who broke the silence. With a loud roar, he pulled out his sword and stabbed it into the horse's neck, killing the horse that had accompanied him for three years.
His actions seemed to be contagious. Not long after, the remaining Jianzhou soldiers all made their moves and killed all the warhorses. These thousands of exhausted warhorses were all killed, and their owners drank their blood and ate their meat.
Nurhaci ordered his men to go into the forest to cut wood and then roast horse meat to eat. He ate his own horse and also gathered his family, two women and a dozen children.
He called the women and children to eat the horse meat, and took the few pots to cook soup, so that they could eat the meat and drink the soup until they were full.
Dai Shan seemed to realize something. He glanced at his younger siblings and his two father's women with a pitiful gaze.
After a while, he no longer had such thoughts. He picked up a piece of horse meat and gnawed at it.
Everyone was gnawing at the horse meat, chewing with all their might. It seemed that they were using all their strength to chew, desperately filling their stomachs, restoring their energy, and giving their weak bodies great strength again.
After more than an hour, they had eaten their fill. Everyone had eaten a lot, and they planned to keep the leftovers until the arrival of the Qin army.
Then, Nurhaci asked Dai Shan, Abai, Tanggu, Manggultai, Tabai, and Abatai to stay with him, while he took the other women and children into the forest. Fei Yingdong did the same, leaving only a few grown sons and bringing the rest into the forest.
Then, some other Jianzhou soldiers who were still protecting their families also made a choice.
When Nurhaci came out of the forest, he was stained with some blood. Tabai and Abatai looked at Nurhaci strangely. He actually asked Nurhaci what he was doing in the forest and where were his mother and other brothers?
Nurhaci did not answer their questions. Instead, he asked them to hold their weapons in their hands.
"We are going to fight the ferocious enemy soon. Follow Amma and kill the enemy together. Do you understand?"
Nurhaci patted Tabai and Abatai on the shoulder.
The two children, who were only ten years old, nodded hesitantly.
Dai Shan walked to Nurhaci's side with a pained look on his face.
"Amma, do you have to do this?"
"My son can't be a dog for the Han people."
Nurhaci answered decisively.
Everything that should be dealt with had been dealt with. The whole Jianzhou soldiers were filled with a strong sense of sorrow. They sat on the ground with Nurhaci, waiting for the arrival of the Qin Army.
Mao Wenlong's mounted sentries found out about the situation of the Jianzhou soldiers. After a brief analysis, Mao Wenlong knew that this was a group of soldiers who were full of grievances.
"They used the horses as food and ate their last meal. They must want to fight for the last time. They have become mourning soldiers, and they will go all out without reservation. Every move is fatal. If we bump into them, we will suffer heavy losses and even be defeated."
Mao Wenlong made an accurate judgment.
"Then, what should we do?"
A subordinate asked Mao Wenlong.
"What to do? You ask me what to do? You claim to be General Xiao's soldiers and follow him to the Northern Expedition. Now you ask me what to do? Are you afraid? "
Mao Wenlong looked at his temporary subordinates mockingly.
His subordinates' expressions changed.
"If you are afraid, I have many ways to get rid of those Jianzhou slaves more easily. What do you think?"
Mao Wenlong's face was full of mockery.
"General, are you trying to provoke us?"
"Yes, because I am worried that you will cherish your lives in the face of a group of suicidal barbarians. You will really be afraid."
Mao Wenlong sneered at his subordinates without hesitation.
The faces of his subordinates changed at once.
"We have never been afraid of anything since we followed His Majesty!"
"We have come through mountains of corpses and seas of blood. What are you afraid of?"
"I have killed more people than you have ever seen! Little boy! Don't be so arrogant! "
"How dare you insult us!"
"Let's fight! Little boy! No one who followed His Majesty to rebel is a coward!! "
The faces of his subordinates turned red with anger and stared at Mao Wenlong.
"Well, come with me. Face to face! Kill all those barbarians! I want to see if you have the momentum to follow His Majesty to rebel! "
"Watch carefully!"
The subordinates said ruthlessly and turned back to instigate their troops.
After a while, the sky shook with shouts of "kill".
Mao Wenlong smiled.
They were a group of soldiers seeking death.
They were a group of battle-hardened soldiers who wanted to defend their honor.
Both sides had their reasons to retreat.
Mao Wenlong felt that in this last battle, he could no longer use tricks.
Although he had many ways to make the group of soldiers on the opposite side live a life worse than death and collapse to death.
But he just felt that he couldn't do that.
He had to tear them apart face to face.
Mao Wenlong, who always thought that he was very smart, felt that he had lost his calmness and calmness at this moment. When he knew that the other side was waiting for them in the open space, Mao Wenlong felt that his blood was boiling.
He had never seen a cornered beast fight, and there were not many people who had seen it.
Many people in the army might not have seen it in their whole lives, but he had seen it.
How perfect it was?
This would become an indelible halo in his military career.
Mao Wenlong thought so.
So, he would do anything for it.
The Qin Army immediately set out and came to the open space, looking at the group of soldiers with soaring killing intent from afar.
It was really exciting.
Mao Wenlong took a deep breath, his whole body trembling.
