Chapter 884 The soldiers mutiny

,,,,,,,,,,,,

The next morning, Liu Qubei received a message that he didn't want to hear. Overnight, he froze more than 6,000 soldiers to death, which made Liu Qubei unable to speak for a long time. He thought that the most people were frozen to death, but he did not expect that more than 6,000 people to death, which made him feel uncomfortable, but he was speechless.

The chief of the ten thousand men who reported to him said, "Reported to the king, most of these soldiers who were frozen to death are sick and weak, so they cannot withstand the invasion of the cold air on the snowy night. I believe that the next day will be much better tonight and that so many people will not die again."

Liu Qubei sighed and said, "People who have frozen to death will leave the valley and treat it as a sky burial. Leave it on the straight road, I'm afraid there will be lesions."

"It's okay to be such a cold day, but staying on the straight road for other soldiers to see will seriously affect the morale of the army. The king is right, so it's better to throw it down the valley."

Liu Qubei immediately ordered all the bodies of the frozen soldiers to be thrown into the deep valley, and ordered the soldiers to go to the south to find firewood bushes to burn fire to keep warm. The straight road was sturdy. For several years, there was no grass growing. The straight road was built by cutting the mountain. On one side, it was backing the mountain and on the other side was a deep valley. Only some firewood could be obtained from the mountain. However, the cold weather some time ago, the trees within dozens of miles were cut down. If you want to find firewood, you had to look south again.

However, a more serious problem was placed in front of the Hun cavalry, that is, there was no horsepower, more than half of the war horses were slaughtered for food, and the remaining more than 10,000 war horses were dying due to lack of horse feed. Many war horses were unable to stand and could not stand up at all, and they could not go to the south to find firewood. Walking by two legs alone for dozens of miles to find firewood, which is even more scary than going to the battlefield.

But Liu Qubei didn't care about so many. He ordered a thousand strong soldiers to give them a meal and ordered them to go fifty miles away to find firewood. The thousand soldiers were helpless and led by a commander of a thousand men to look for firewood.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier. After two days and two nights, heavy snow accumulated thickly on the hillside. The unbalanced snow blocks kept sliding down and all piled up on the straight road. In the front of a straight road that was several miles long, the accumulated snow had reached the waist and was difficult.

Thousands of soldiers who went to find firewood returned in a mess after a day. If they wanted to walk fifty miles away to find firewood in this weather, they would definitely not go back. Moreover, the straight road was blocked by heavy snow, so they could not go south at all.

At night, less than 20,000 Hun soldiers were close together, curled up at the foot of the mountain to resist the invasion of cold wind and hunger. In just two nights, eight thousand people were frozen to death. This was the night, and I wonder how many people would return to their hometown.

The soldiers were cold and hungry and cursed in a low voice. At this time, all the soldiers let go and cursed Liu Qubei and the senior generals unscrupulously. They had tents, animal skins, and were said to have roasted beef and mutton, as well as intoxicating milk wine, which made the hungry and cold soldiers hate it.

"Brother, why do you think the king refuses to surrender?" A young soldier asked a husband in a low voice, who was also his brother.

The husband sneered and said, "We can survive if we surrender, but only one of them will die when he surrenders. He would rather wait for the Chanyu to come and save him than surrender. Anyway, we will freeze and starve to death. He will not die if he has food and drink."

"This doggy-honored"

The soldier cursed softly and asked again: "Will Shanyu come to save us?"

The husband shook his head, "It's so heavy snow that the Shanyu can't protect himself. Don't expect to come and save us."

"But we will die like this."

The young soldier was scared and couldn't help crying, "Brother, I want to go home, I want to go home to see my father and mother."

The husband hugged his brother's shoulder lovingly and comforted him softly, "Hold on for another two days, the situation will definitely change."

Even though he said this, he sighed in his heart and couldn't help but secretly regret that his brother was only seventeen years old, so he really shouldn't have taken him to the battlefield. If he had any strengths and weaknesses, how could he explain to his parents?

This is, someone shouted in the distance: "There is jerky in front of me, go and get it."

The young soldier suddenly became anxious. He knew that the amount of jerky was very small, and they would probably be gone when they were like this. "Brother, I'll get jerky." He immediately got up and ran forward.

The husband didn't grab him, and saw his brother running towards the darkness. Soon, a scream suddenly came from the front, and someone screamed, "I'm murdering someone in front."

The headmaster was shocked, and ran forward with a knife, ran a few steps, and arrived at the crowd gathering place. The headmaster pushed the crowd away and squeezed in. He saw a person lying on the ground. It was his brother. He rushed up and shouted, "Fine teeth, fine teeth."

His brother was cut off his throat and died of anger. The chief suddenly looked up and his blood-red eyes stared at the officer with his jerky flesh. It was this person who killed his brother.

The officer said coldly: "Each person is allowed to take only one piece, but he wants to take two pieces, so he will die."

"I kill you"

The chief roared wildly, swung his sword at the officer. The officer waved his sword to greet him and cursed: "Are you crazy? I am the military ration officer appointed by the king. Do you want to die?"

The chief of the husband said nothing, and the sword in his hand slashed at the military ration officer like a madman. Seeing that the force came, the military ration officer took a few steps back. Unexpectedly, his feet slipped and he staggered. At this moment, the chief of the husband's long sword hit his right leg. The chief of the army yelled and fell to the ground. The chief of the husband rushed forward and chopped off his head with a knife.

The soldiers around him exclaimed and retreated one after another. The husband put his head in front of his brothers and cried loudly. At this time, someone shouted: "Daya, run away quickly. This military ration officer is the guard of the king. If you have caused a big disaster, go quickly."

The husband suddenly made a fuss and died. He also tried his best. He stood up and shouted to everyone, "The food has been cut off, the horse meat is about to be eaten up. It is snowing heavily in the sky. Shanyu will not come to save us. We either freeze to death or starve to death. Instead of dying here, we might as well surrender, at least we can save our lives and go home to see our wife and children."

The headmaster's words resonated with everyone, and everyone raised their hands and shouted, "We are willing to surrender and don't want to freeze to death here."

"Surrender"

The shouting became louder and louder. The chief waved his hand and everyone calmed down again. He shouted: "Everyone follows me to surrender. If the king is not sure, we will fight with him."

The fire of hatred ignited in the hearts of the Hun soldiers. Thousands of soldiers followed their husbands and walked towards Wuting Pass. The team was vast and powerful.

When going to Wuting Pass, you must pass through the camp area. At this time, Liu Qubei heard that some soldiers were about to rebel and surrender, so he was furious and took the tent out and led several soldiers to stop the soldiers.

"Who is the leader? Stand up for me?" Liu Qubei roared and shouted loudly.

The headmaster stood up under the eyes of everyone. At this moment, he had only hatred in his heart and said without fear: "I am the leader."

If Liu Qubei apologized kindly at this time and took out cattle and sheep to comfort the soldiers, it might be able to calm the upcoming mutiny of soldiers, but Liu Qubei did not retreat. If he showed weakness, more soldiers would cause trouble tomorrow. He could only treat these soldiers hard. As long as he killed the leader, the rest of the soldiers would naturally be scared away.

Liu Qubei didn't explain, and said coldly to the guards: "Kill him."

Several guards rushed forward with their swords, and the captain raised the sword and shouted, "Brothers, we're fighting."

At this moment, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the soldiers finally burst out. Thousands of soldiers roared angrily and raised their swords to kill Liu Qubei and several of his guards. At the critical moment of life and death, the Hun soldiers mutiny broke out.
