Lao Huang put down the cup in his hand, and the dumb uncle standing beside him immediately filled the cup for him, and glared at Huang Xuan by the way, which probably meant that he didn't want to talk to his grandfather so much.

Huang Xuan said with a little grievance, "Uncle Dumb, such a big matter is still related to my life, am I so anxious to figure it out!"

Lao Huang drank for a long time, drank a cup and poured it full, drank again, went down three cups of wine in a row, and ate some vegetables, he raised his eyes to look at us, and asked everyone with a smile, "Do you know what happened in this ancient city before?"

"Master......" Huang Xuan was about to say something, but was pressed down by Lao Huang waving his hand.

"You say!" said Heiya.

I knew that this was the beginning of the talk, so I put down the chopsticks in my hand, sat upright, and listened attentively.

Lao Huang's eyes were deep, his head was slightly raised, and his eyes became more and more hollow......

This ancient city, in the Ming Dynasty, was still a very prosperous street market.

At that time, it was not a small city. At that time, this county was still a transportation hub, with mountains on one side and water on the other, and the two main roads in front and back passed through the middle of the city.

At that time, there was a fierce battle in this county.

A general named Sun Xun led 10,000 soldiers to meet the opponent's army of more than 100,000 here, although the number was much less than others, but this general named Sun Xun was very capable, not only able to write and martial arts, but also had a command and combat ability, and he was very good at fighting.

With Sun Xun's wise and correct leadership, although they only had 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, they completely dragged the opponent's army of more than 100,000 troops, and no matter how they attacked, they could not capture this county seat.

Sun Xun dragged the other party on the one hand, and on the other hand, he used the method of attack, attack and defense to try to drag the other party to death, after all, the grain and grass of the army of hundreds of thousands of people was not so easy to supply.

Who knew that he miscalculated, the other party saw that this city could not be attacked for a long time, but it only consumed all kinds of military rations, and it would drag down the morale of the army, so he used a very immoral method to besiege the city!

Surrounding the county and cutting off the main road outside is tantamount to plunging the county into a dead land.

The land is limited, and most of the food and vegetables are bought from other places, and the most important food has become a big problem.

Sun Xun's 10,000 soldiers and many ordinary people in the city, although there was some food in their hands, but they couldn't hold back the siege for a long time, and slowly the stock was eaten, they began to look for food in the mountains and water, and all the plants and animals that could be eaten were eaten, and in just four months, they fell into the point of running out of ammunition and food!

The siege outside is still continuing, the other party is not in a hurry to surround them, there is nothing to eat in the county, even the leaves are gone, and the people have to dig out the soil on the ground and eat it.

Sun Xunkan's morale was very low, many people were sick and hungry, many people fell to the ground and died while walking, more and more people starved to death in the county, and there were riots everywhere, he saw this scene, and still refused to surrender, just locked himself in his house and didn't go out for a long time.

The next morning, the soldiers smelled a burst of meat!

The smell stimulated every hungry soldier, and more and more people walked towards Sun Xun's residence, and following the smell of meat, they were eager to rush in and eat everything they could eat at once.

At this time, Sun Xun opened the door.

In the courtyard of his house, a large stove was built, and on the stove sat a very large iron pot, on which the water boiled and gave off a tempting aroma.

When the soldiers went in, they saw a large pot full of meat boiling in the white water, which had been cut into smaller pieces and tumbled in the water.

All the soldiers immediately went crazy and fished the meat from the pot to eat, and even did not care that it was boiling water, and in a few minutes the meat was snatched up, and those who had eaten the meat returned to their respective dormitories to rest.

There were still many soldiers who had not eaten the meat to come, so Sun Xun had to smile bitterly and say to everyone, if you all come early in the morning in the future, I will add one more, no, add two pots to cook the meat...... I hope you'll give me one night every day, because the meat I'm cooking comes from underground rats, and they're so hard to catch......

Joke, this county town has been besieged for half a year, and after the grain is eaten, for three or four months, everyone has caught all the animals that can be caught and eaten in the mountains and rivers, and the snakes, insects, rats and ants have long been eaten, where will he give him this pot of rat meat to eat?

Sun Xun's lie was full of flaws, but the soldiers didn't think much about it, and after surviving the night, they waited at his door early the next day.

This time, there were three large iron pots in a row in the open space outside the door, and the meat was still boiling in it, and the aroma was so fragrant that the hungry soldiers only swallowed.

Many people were given meat to eat and devoured it, but at this time, some people discovered that there was a human finger in the meat they ate.

Toes, lips, eyes...... Someone ate it, and the soldiers rushed into Sun Xun's house, only to find out that Sun Xun had killed his wife, concubines, and maids, and the meat cooked in the big iron pot was actually human flesh!

When the soldiers saw this scene, they understood the hard work of the generals, in order for the soldiers to survive and defend the city, he actually killed his own family!

Therefore, all the soldiers followed this method, and those who had families went back to kill people to cook, and those who did not have families went to the streets to choose some people who were about to starve to death and had not yet died, or who had not yet stinked after death, to cook!

So this small county town has become a purgatory on earth, the living can still move, will kill those who are hungry and dying, and the residents will also change their children to eat, just to be able to survive!

These people, after running out of ammunition and food, relied on cannibalism, and even persevered in the predicament of the siege for a whole year!

The bones of those who had been killed and eaten were left with shaved bones, some of which were used to make soup, and the remains were piled up in a corner of the county, a swampy land that was originally facing the river, and all the remains were covered with sludge.

Later, the county seat was still breached, and at this time, the entire county seat, originally 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of residents, the remaining living people were less than 8,000!

There was a strange light in everyone's eyes, and when they saw everything, they had to put it in their mouths and bite it first, and even if they were stabbed to the ground by an enemy attacking from outside, they had to hold their hands and pick up the blood and put it in their mouths to suck......
