The opening saint broke into my backyard

It will take more than half a day to rush from the death forest to the border city of the southern region. With the addition of these supplies of food and grass, the speed of the march will naturally be slower.So when we arrived at the southern border city, it was already late at night.

When they came to the bottom of the city and above the tower, there was no reaction at all.When there is a war, whenever such a large number of troops come to the city, there will be a reaction on the tower.But today it seems to be a dead city.

how so?Zhuo Xiaofan couldn't help frowning, it has been eight days since he left this border town in the southern region, could something have happened in these eight days?

The only enemies facing this southern frontier city are the Longyi people, there will be no other enemies.What the hell is going on here?
Zhuo Xiaofan yelled loudly towards the top of the tower, only one person poked his head slowly out of the top of the tower.

When the man lit the torch and saw that it was Zhuo Xiaofan, he shouted excitedly: "It's the coach, the coach is back, the coach is back."

On the tower, soldiers slowly stood up one after another, when it was confirmed that it was Zhuo Xiaofan, there were cheers on the tower.

"Quick, open the city gate quickly." Although he was very excited, there was obviously a lack of confidence in that voice.

But Zhuo Xiaofan and the others waited for about a quarter of an hour before the city gate slowly opened.

The city gate was opened little by little, and the opening speed seemed to be in slow motion.No matter how heavy the city gate was, six or seven strong men could still open it easily.But looking at the situation today, because there were at least a dozen people, and those dozen people seemed to have exerted all their strength, the city gate was pushed open little by little.

What's even more exaggerated is that when the city gate was about to be opened, there was a plop plop, and several people fell out in a row.

No way, what happened here? He remembered that when he was leaving, everyone in the army was full of energy and full of fighting power, but now it seemed that each and every one of them was like dying old men, exhausted.

Zhuo Xiaofan walked into the city gate with confusion on his face.Just as he was passing by, the soldier who opened the door was about to fall down, but fortunately Zhuo Xiaofan had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold him up.

"Yes, I'm sorry." The soldier looked terrified, but he looked weak.

"How could this happen?" Zhuo Xiaofan asked a man who looked like a military officer with a calm face.

The man who looked like an officer was also very pale, but his skill was relatively deep, so his physical fitness was naturally stronger than them, unlike them all staggering around.He said depressedly: "Everyone has not eaten for four days, and they are really hungry and have no strength."

Zhuo Xiaofan recalled the situation just now, and finally understood what was going on.It turned out that everyone was so hungry that they had no energy left.People are like iron, rice is steel, and they haven't eaten for four days. Even the hardest men can't bear it.

"Where is General Lu?" Zhuo Xiaofan said angrily.

"General Lu is in the government office." The soldier dared not hide anything.

Zhuo Xiaofan turned to the guerrilla captain behind him and said: "You let them take food, grass, weapons and other supplies into the city, and arrange them properly."

The affairs in this city were originally in charge of the guerrilla captain Song Yi, so he was familiar with the situation in the city, and it was most appropriate for him to handle these matters.

After the arrangements were made, Zhuo Xiaofan brought Xiao Jin and others to the Yamen of the capital.

As soon as I arrived at the capital yamen, I could smell the smell of meat wafting from inside.

Zhuo Xiaofan was furious, grandma, people outside have no food to eat, you are lucky, you are still in the mood to eat stew here, let's see how I deal with you.

Zhuo Xiaofan took Xiao Jin and the others and pushed open the gate of the government office.

I saw that Lu Qian was setting up a pot in the middle of the yard, the water in the pot was bubbling, and the smell of meat came from here.

Seeing Zhuo Xiaofan's return, Lu Qian was obviously stunned for a moment, then stood up: "Boss, it's great that you're finally back."

Zhuo Xiaofan's face was full of anger: "Lu Qian, it's really you, the people outside are starving to death, and you actually barbecue here."

Lu Qian looked lonely: "Boss, if I don't barbecue here for my brothers, I'm afraid a few people will starve to death tomorrow."

Zhuo Xiaofan was startled, obviously Lu Qian's answer was beyond Zhuo Xiaofan's expectation.

What do you mean if you don't roast meat for your brothers, your brothers will starve to death?

What about food?

Zhuo Xiaofan remembered that before the expedition, the food here was enough for six days.

six days?Thinking of this, Zhuo Xiaofan suddenly got stuck, no, that was the previous situation.Later, it wasn't that Lu Qian came back with tens of thousands of people.So in this way, the food is only enough for about four days.It has been eight days since I left this city.Counting, they have been hungry for four full days, and they have nothing to eat for four days, even if they are hardened, they will be weak.

But before he left, he had written many times to the imperial court, asking for food, otherwise the defenders in this city would starve to death.Moreover, the imperial court has promised to allocate grain, saying that it can be delivered within three days.Even if it was delayed on the road, such a long time should have arrived long ago.

"We count on the food from the imperial court every day, but so many days have passed, and there is no grain. Seeing that my brothers are going to starve to death, I have no choice but to let them kill the rank beast. No matter how precious the rank beast is, it will never As for being more precious than human life. But the brothers are reluctant, helpless, I have to take the lead in doing this, commander, I can't just watch my brothers starve to death in front of me." Lu Qian looked painful, smelling the fragrant scent at the moment Taste, but there was no fragrance at all in his nose.

Anyone who has fought in the war knows what it means to be a soldier. It is a comrade who depends on life and death.How could he have the heart to kill his "comrade-in-arms" unless it was absolutely necessary.That's why the soldiers would rather starve themselves than kill the Zhigui beast.This is like the old farmer who can't speak his tongue and kills the plowing cattle.

However, they were really hungry, so hungry that they couldn't even stand upright. Zhuo Xiaofan had witnessed the scene on the tower and the soldiers who opened the door just now. The army was battered, and the Longyi people could easily break through the city as long as they sent a few hundred people.

The soldiers were reluctant to kill the Zhigui Beast, and there was an order in the army not to kill the Zhigui Beast at will.The big man is no better than Longyi, and is rich in Zhigui beasts. These Zhigui beasts are still exchanged at expensive prices from Longyi, Dongyi and other places, so they are very precious.The soldiers hesitated even more.

But in order to save everyone's lives, Lu Qian decided to kill his Zhigui beast first.

When slaughtering Zhigui Beast, Lu Qian felt that the knife not only stabbed Zhigui Beast's body, but also stabbed him in the chest.When he saw the tears falling from the eyes of Zhigui Beast before he died, this tough man also cried.
