The trumpets blow and the killing continues!

Finally they persevered until the arrival of reinforcements, and with the support of reinforcements, after fierce fighting between the two sides, the general successfully defended the city.

The cost of defending the city was 6,000 corpses.

Ye Lin exhaled deeply, and he looked at these uncounted bones in a bit of a daze.

After the war, the roads were cleared, and the bodies were transported to designated locations for centralized cremation.

Ye Lin's face became more and more pale, he could sense every stiff corpse, the heavy weight, behind each corpse, was a family.

In addition to carrying the corpses, Ye Lin also needed to collect the arrow feathers on these battlefields.

Two months later.

At night, by the campfire.

Xiao Yezi, what are you going to do for us to eat today, a bearded man approached Ye Lin and immediately patted Ye Lin on the shoulder.

Xiao Yezi, this is the nickname given to him by some soldiers in the second month that Ye Lin came to the barracks, which is an affirmation of his cooking skills.

If Ye Lin, as a soldier, is definitely not the best soldier, then his cooking skills are not very good.

After working in the gang head room for the first month, I learned a new skill from those veterans - cooking!

Due to his natural intelligence, he often gets started very quickly, and in less than a month, he has fully mastered the amount of oil and salt, as well as the conversion of the size of the heat.

For the first month, he was still running errands behind the veterans in the barracks.

But in the second month, he was able to open the stove, even those veterans who had been cooking vegetables for decades secretly admired Ye Lin.

At least, the extraordinary talent he showed in cooking made everyone look up to this young man with admiration.

As for weekday exercises, the generals unanimously demanded that even the group leaders must train together.

For this kind of training, Ye Lin is neither bored nor interested.

Judging by his emaciated body, he felt that it was extremely difficult to pick up the heavy halberd in his hand.

He thought of the killing and the defense battle two months ago, and he felt a little inexplicable, after all, he picked up the halberd and stabbed the enemy hard.

But at this moment, let him pick up the halberd again, he only felt that this halberd was extremely heavy, seeing this, Ye Lin could only sigh.

Maybe he's really not fit to be a good soldier.

It is for this reason that the ten people who survived with the general, except for Ye Lin, who cooked in the gang army, all the other soldiers were promoted to sentry soldiers.

He was the only one, and because of his physique, he joined the gang leader army.

Thinking around, Ye Lin chuckled and said, "Brother Zhao, today I will make you chicken stewed mushrooms." ”

After speaking, Ye Lin immediately took action, took some ingredients, and within half an hour, a pot of fragrant chicken stewed mushrooms had been cooked by him.

The bearded man named Brother Zhao immediately laughed, sniffed the deliciousness, and immediately teased: "If we continue like this, we will really be fed by Xiao Yezi with a bad taste." ”

I am used to eating these things made by Xiaoyezi, and I have a sense of dependence, if I don't eat a meal, it will be the same as drinking, and I will panic!

Another soldier laughed.

The rest of the veterans chimed in.

Ye Lin immediately took out the wine gourd on his waist and drank with these veterans.

Alcohol is an indispensable thing in the barracks, whether it is to relieve boredom or go to the battlefield, it is a morale-boosting thing.

And the general's order is that you can drink, but you are not allowed to get drunk!

As the saying goes, wine is strong and courageous, and after drinking, you will have the courage to go to the battlefield and have the experience of licking blood on weapons.

Buzzing......

Buzzing......

Just as the soldiers were eating, a trumpet blew.

Oh no, there's an enemy attack!

A large number of soldiers immediately stood up and gathered at the bottom of the city gate with weapons in hand.

Ye Lin and the others didn't dare to slack off, and they all picked up the halberds in their hands and gathered towards the city gate.

The general's face was solemn, his face looked a little hideous, especially the deep scar, which was the scar left by the bloody battle with the enemy.

In Ye Lin's memory, the general rarely smiled, always kept a straight face, and his stiff face for many years made the general's face collapse very tightly.

Although he is not good at smiling, he is approachable and excellent to get along with.

However, Ye Lin also saw the general's smiling face, that was the last time, when he fought hard, he and they successfully defended the city.

The general smiled, but his smile was uglier than crying.

Whenever there is a war, the general will always rush to the first, and on the battlefield, he is a soldier who sees death as home, always rushing to the front.

He could have chosen to stand behind and direct the soldiers to charge, but he didn't.

Instead, he chose to advance and retreat with the soldiers, in his words, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, so he should carry a sword and return the horse leather shroud.

For the general, Ye Lin admired him very much.

After all, he was a general who truly loved his soldiers more than his own life.

Soldiers, it's time for us to fight again, and this time there are twice as many enemies as we are.

When this sound fell, many soldiers whispered and sighed.

I know how incredible it is to hear that 20,000 against 40,000 is unthinkable.

However, in war, what is important is the combination of rewards and punishments, deeds and results, and the combination of tactics and strategies, I believe in you, and please believe in me.

Even if it is life and death, the duty of our soldiers is to fight, and we will not be merciful and soft-hearted to the enemy who invades us, let alone afraid of life and death.

Are you afraid of death? Tell me.

Don't be afraid, the rows of soldiers shouted.

This is Zhuangxing wine, and after we have done this big bowl, we will rush to the front line and fight the enemy to the death.

The general first filled the bowl with wine, and many soldiers had a bowl of wine each.

After receiving the guard's pouring wine, many soldiers smiled, laughed very calmly, they drank it all, and then slammed the bowl on the ground.

It was a shipbreaking operation, a collective momentum, and this momentum affected every soldier.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return.

No one wants to die, no one likes to die, but behind them, there are thousands of people, old and young, women and children, they have no choice, they have been driven to a dead end.

Take a step back, and the war will spread to their homeland.

Let's go!

The sound of decisive killing reached the ears of every soldier.

Every soldier was on high alert, and the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

On the city tower, the general patted Ye Lin beside him.

In the past month, your food has been burned well, he looked at Ye Lin with satisfaction, and showed his ugly smile again.

Ye Lin was excited in his heart, this was the first time the general praised him, and it was an incomparable joy to be praised by the people he admired.

Even if the general asked him to die at this time, he would take it in stride.

Thank you general, I will do a good job, Ye Lin said happily.

It's a pity that I can't eat the delicious food you made anymore, there was a trace of sadness on the general's face.

He sighed abruptly, looking at the soldier who walked out of the city gate, there was an inexplicable trace of sadness on his face, as if he was in heartache at the moment, this inexplicable emotion, Ye Lin beside the general felt it very deeply.

General, what's wrong, Ye Lin wondered in his heart.

He looked at the general with some confusion, this was the first time the general showed this kind of expression, this kind of expression, faintly made him feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't say anything.

The general took out a bag from his waist and handed it to Ye Lin's hands, if something happens to me, once the news comes from the front line, you will open this bag and use the tiger charm to carry out the matter.

General, Ye Lin was about to speak......

There was a hint of astonishment on his face, even a hint of panic.

The general stopped him with his hand, time is running out, I know what you want to say, I'm just a gang leader, I can't take on such an important matter.

Ye Lin opened his mouth and nodded.

The general smiled abruptly, and then his voice became a little indifferent, and said, "Then do you know how old I was in the army and how old I was to become a general?"

Ye Lin shook his head, he didn't know much about the general's past, but the general's might had been circulating in the army.

I was already on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and when I was twenty-three years old, I took over the position of general, and now it has been more than twenty years.

Ye Lin looked at the man in front of him in surprise, twenty-three years old, what kind of person is that, becoming a general, how much burden is on his shoulders, Ye Lin can hardly feel.

Alas, if it weren't for the fact that there were only a few old and weak soldiers left in the city, I wouldn't have had such a plan.

The tiger talisman is in your hand, if I am unfortunately killed, you will wait for reinforcements and hold on.

The city was so fortified that it would not have been able to break through without three times as many troops.

Of course, if I don't die, then the day I return will be the time to celebrate, and you naturally don't need to take over the talisman, the general continued.

Ye Lin was slightly puzzled, looked at the general, and said, "General, I am just a gang leader, why did you choose me to take over such an important matter." ”

The general sighed: "The remaining soldiers here are only old and weak, and there are few strong men. ”

I've only left you a hundred strong men, and you can do it yourself.

In addition, there are 3,000 old and weak soldiers, all of whom are escorting grain and grass.

I choose you, one is that there are few people in the army who are so smart, a person who can cook food so deliciously, if he doesn't work hard, I'm afraid no one will believe it.

Are you practicing knife skills late at night, the general looked at Ye Lin mysteriously.

Ye Lin looked at the general in shock, and he said in surprise: "General, how do you know." ”

I saw it, and the general continued.

A persistent and intelligent person, and working harder, I believe that you must have the same heart as I do, loving soldiers and loving yourself more.

Do you know what kind of person is most suitable to be a general? The general asked Ye Lin rhetorically.

People who can fight and command, Ye Lin said without hesitation.

First of all, the general needs to balance the disputes of the various battalions, and the general needs to have the cohesion of the people's hearts, and only by bringing everyone together can they gather strength and have high morale.

The general got up, patted Ye Lin on the shoulder, and immediately walked down the city tower and walked towards the city gate.

Looking at the lonely figure, Ye Lin felt a sadness inexplicably, of course he didn't want the general to die in battle, and even he could die for the general.

But the general entrusted him with the whole city, and he could not refuse this heavy burden, let alone retreat.
