Chapter 109: Hungry Meat (I)
In Shule City, snowflakes are flying, and the north wind is howling. The 35xs sporadic torches shimmer with dazzling light, like a vast ocean, with no end in sight.
One by one, the Han soldiers died heroically at the head of the city, and the Han army was less than a hundred people, either killed in battle or starved to death.
The last of the people of Shule City, dragging their weak bodies, dragged their weak bodies and struggled to cut off a piece of bark under a big tree, put it in their mouths, chewed and chewed, tears flowed down their eyes, and then suddenly they rolled their eyes and died!
There was not a single person in sight in the city, and the city had become completely empty, covered with many emaciated corpses under the snow!
This Han army, which is less than a hundred, dragged its thin body, stood majestically in the cold wind, sticking to this lonely city!
Sometimes, Geng Gong would look into the infinite distance, how much he hoped that a Han army would suddenly come from the sky, break through a bloody road, and kill through the encirclement.
However, there will be no miracles, nothing but heavy snow and overwhelming Huns.
He didn't know how long the Han army could hold out. The Xiongnu attacked for nearly a month, and it was already expected to be cold, and the city of Shule was still standing there.
On that day, Punu slew fifty sheep under the city, took firewood, lit a fire, and roasted it, and the charred mutton snorted, and little by little the oil fell into the flames that stretched and shrank.
The smell of barbecue wafted to the city with the wind, and the Han soldiers had not eaten for a long time, and suddenly smelled the fragrance of mutton, and one by one they drooled, looked at it, and swallowed their saliva vigorously.
Li Dang jumped like thunder and said: "Brother, we have been hungry for so long, and the Huns are still doing this, it is clear that they are bullying us, and they don't take us seriously, wait for me to kill them, grab a few fucking sheep, and fill my brother's hunger." Geng Gong smiled faintly and said: "Brother Dare, have you forgotten that this is the usual trick of the Huns, luring the enemy deep and disintegrating the fighting spirit." Hmph, regardless of them, let's sit at the head of the city and watch them act. "On the city of Shule, there was silence, and no one answered.
Pu Nu saw Geng Gong's face yellow and hungry, and his expression was arrogant, he couldn't help but secretly admire, and said: "Geng Gong, although you killed my concubine and my son, you have a grudge against me. But every man is his master, and every man does his best, to obey thee alone, and not to blame thee. Today, there is a strong enemy in front, no reinforcements in the back, the food is exhausted, and the line of life and death is on the line, why do you still have to stick to Shule? If you descend to me, I will make you the king of the white house, and marry my beloved daughter to you, if there is any contradiction, there will be such an arrow! After speaking, Pu Nu took the arrow in his hand, folded his hands, and the arrow broke in response.
Geng Gong couldn't help crying, sighed, and said: "Because I am alone, 2,000 Han soldiers, now there are only more than 100 people left, and the people in the city have long been dead!" Now that Fan Qiang has been to Luoyang for a few months, there has been no news, and I am afraid that there will be no reinforcements. As Pu Nu Shan Yu said, we have been guarding the city here for hundreds of days and suffering a lot, and those noble and high-ranking officials in the court have good wine and meat every day, and they have fun on the fire. We have long been worthy of the country, and it is the country that is sorry for us. It's better to return to the Huns, and everyone will enjoy wealth and prosperity! ”
