Chapter 317 Lying down is a major event in life
"Of course, there are several exits, and I have already discovered all the specific locations. If the castle owner wants to check it out, I can lead the way."
"There's no need to check. It's true that you get the serious things done quickly."
Unknowingly, Liu Fang, accompanied by Lin Deguang, had already walked in the secret passage for almost a stick of incense.
And the people around him also changed one after another. At first, the fort residents could only walk slowly behind the fort owner to save their face.
If we keep following, the brothers can no longer hold on.
The two leaders were walking and talking, walking more and more slowly. If they didn't walk faster, they might not be able to transport the food and grass back home even after dark.
Everyone had no choice but to pass one after another.
At first, Liu Fang didn't notice it, but later he realized that he was not leading the way in this secret passage at all. The fortress residents who were transporting the baggage had long left him behind.
"Deguang, where are we now?" Liu Fang suddenly turned around and was shocked by the sight in front of him.
Behind him, the carts transporting grain, grass and weapons were coming like a flood, and in front of Liu Fang's eyes, the fort residents carrying swords and guns and pushing carts had already occupied the road ahead.
Fortress owner Liu Fang was trapped in the middle of the team, unable to advance or retreat.
"How do we get back?"
Lin Deguang saw the current situation clearly and could only smile awkwardly.
"Fortmaster, of course we can only walk back!"
It is impossible to go any further. It will take at least an hour to walk to the next exit. Once there, we cannot return to Fort Victory.
However, returning the same way is quite difficult.
Liu Fang was furious. It was all because of his momentary oversight. He should not have followed Lin Deguang all the way to the secret passage from the beginning.
If he only stayed in the spacious open space under the secret passage for a while to check the situation, how could he be in such a dilemma?
"Do you think we can go back?"
The current situation is that if they keep going forward, it might be better, but the two of them stopped in the middle of the road. The fort residents behind them also knew that they were blocking the way of the fort owner, and they did not dare to move easily.
The fort residents on the ground were pulling various utensils and were still walking down in a steady stream. In a short period of time, in the spacious secret passage, the crowd gathered more and more, and they were all gathered together.
Before Liu Fang could make up his mind, there was already a crowd of people and chaos in front of him.
Lin Deguang said silently: "It seems that there is indeed some trouble."
"You are really tolerant, this is not a little troublesome, it is obviously a huge trouble!"
Liu Fang was furious. As a subordinate, Lin Deguang immediately started thinking and soon came up with an excellent solution.
"Master, don't worry, or else my subordinates will use a car to push you back?"
You see, this is a good idea. It saves effort and is easy to flatter.
Liu Fang gasped. Could this boy be stupid?
"You can't walk back, but you can push a cart?"
Lin Deguang realized: Yes!
Why didn't I think of this?
Liu Fang said that he still reused such a clumsy person. Either he is stupid or I am stupid.
Below the ground, in the secret passage leading to Xiangyang City, the residents of Victory Fort were arguing animatedly over whether to move forward or backward.
And above the ground, in a valley called Xiaozha, the Di Qin soldiers who had gone through all kinds of hardships to get here from Xiangyang City were also waiting in full formation.
"Team leader, when can we return to the city?"
"It's been three days, and not a single Jin army has been seen. How can we bear it if this continues?"
The time has just reached noon, the sun is just right, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The Qin soldiers lurking in the grass have sweat on their faces.
After wiping, it ran down again. It dripped into the grass and there was no time to wipe it off.
The sun has been scorching for several days, and the weather near Xiangyang City has been dry and hot without a breath of wind. It has been three days since they came out of Xiangyang City, and the soldiers' tolerance has reached the extreme, and they are exhausted physically and mentally.
There are more and more complaints, but I can't blame them.
"Are you starting to get anxious now?"
"General Fu ordered us to ambush here for at least half a month. It's only been a few days, so keep your spirits up!"
"What?"
"At least half a month?"
"Team leader, you obviously didn't say that when you came here!"
It was okay if Kodak didn't explain, but as soon as he opened his mouth to explain, the brothers exploded.
All kinds of comments came and went, and the soldiers, who had already been unable to hold themselves back, suddenly became excited and felt that they had been deceived.
Just before setting off, Kodak made it clear that the ambush would only take a day or two at best, and the ambush would not last more than five days at most.
But now, he actually keeps saying that he will persist for at least half a month.
This is not a lie, what is a lie?
"Brothers can't hold on for half a month. We only brought a few days of rations in total. How can we hold on for more than ten days?"
"Regardless of whether the brothers want to persist or not, even the belly of the brothers will not persist. The rations in our hands can only last for three more days. If the Jin army does not come after three days, what should we do, team leader?
"
These people are so annoyed that they are not allowed to go into battle. They want to make trouble, saying that General Fu does not use them seriously.
Let them fight, there is so much nonsense.
Doesn't this delay me from making great achievements?
"The general has an order, but you still dare to complain?"
"When we are paid as soldiers, we do whatever the general tells us to do. Other things are simply not our business."
What Kodak said was ruthless and cold, and the soldiers resisted immediately.
"Captain Ke, it's easy for you to say that. When the time comes, our brothers will have no food to eat, let alone a war. I'm afraid they won't even be able to pick up this gun."
As the soldiers spoke, they threw away the halberds in their hands and changed from lying down to lying flat on the spot. There was nothing they could do about it.
We only have a few days of rations, and we have to hold on for more than ten days. Of course, we can save some energy, so we can save a little.
I won't do anything like carrying a gun or archery, things that waste energy and make people hungry.
Lying down, lying down is the most important thing in life.
Under their influence, all the soldiers in ambush on the grassland threw away their weapons and lay down on the spot.
"What are you doing?"
"stand up!"
"Get up quickly!"
"My words don't count, right?"
Kodak immediately became angry, raised his riding crop and whipped him hard.
Unfortunately, between starving and being beaten, the soldiers ultimately had to choose to protect their own belly.
After all, under the current situation, it is impossible for Kodak to kill them, but in the near future, they are likely to starve to death.
"That's it!"
"I'm so exhausted!"
After fighting for a while, Kodak had no choice but to stop when he saw that the soldiers were determined to pretend to be dead.
