Dalinghe City.

He Kegang's illness became more and more serious. The eye sockets are deep-set, the eyes are blank, and the originally strong and strong body is already thin and skinny, looking like an eighty or ninety-year-old woman, shocking, almost not human-shaped. If it weren't for the people who had been familiar with him for a long time, he wouldn't have recognized him at all.

Sima Jian, the commander of the pro-soldiers, cautiously walked in with a bowl of soup in his hand, and said to He Kegang who was lying on the bed: "General, Zu Shuai asked someone to send a bowl of broth, help you up and drink some of it!" ”

As he spoke, Sima Jian put the broth on the table at the head of the bed, walked to the side of the bed and helped He Kegang up with difficulty.

Sima Jian was also so hungry that he was skinny, but he was younger after all, and he still had the strength to walk, and when he put his hands on He Kegang's terrifyingly thin body, tears couldn't help but flow out.

This own general, this amiable and respectable lord of the Chinese army, although he was so hungry that he couldn't stand, was weak and sick, he still often gave the horse meat soup powder that Zu Shuai occasionally sent to hang his life to his subordinates, and he was always reluctant to drink more.

At this time, the war horses in Dalinghe City were only the mount of Zu Dashou, and the current bowl of broth was still made of the meat of He Kegang's mount that he killed the day before yesterday. This horse has been following He Kegang from birth to death for seven or eight years, quite humane, He Kegang has always had a lot of affection for it, and he has not drunk its broth for the past two days, and it has been divided between the left and right.

In Dalinghe City, almost all the hungry and crazy people are crazy, what is sanity and what is human nature, all to hell, only survival is the king.

More and more people are dying of hunger, and the number of cannibals is increasing day by day. In such a desperate situation, at the juncture of life and death, human beings seem so weak and pathetic......

He Kegang has long been unable to stop the soldiers in the army from participating in cannibalism, as far as he knows, Zu Kefa's subordinates are the first in the army to start eating people, because they have human flesh to eat, and their faces are not as pale as others, but show a morbid ruddyness, so they are currently in the best physical condition and the strongest and most powerful force in the defenders of Dalinghe City.

Cannibalism in the army has long spread to the soldiers of all departments, and even He Kegang's subordinates have begun to eat people. But He Kegang was completely unable to stop these subordinates.

He Kegang was indeed too hungry to hold on, coughed a few times, gasped and said weakly: "Sima, brother, brothers, have you all drunk?" Ahem......"

"Drink, everybody." Sima Jian hurriedly said while helping him caress his back.

Sima Jian helped He Kegang sit down, and then fed him the broth with a bowl. To be honest, horse meat is actually a very difficult meat to eat, acidic, and has a strong smell, and at this time there is no salt left, let alone any seasoning. But in order to survive, this bowl of extremely unpalatable broth is a very valuable food.

He Kegang had just taken a few sips, and suddenly a report from the guards came from outside the door, saying that Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa had come to visit.

Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa walked in and shouted very respectfully: "Uncle He! ”

He Kegang snorted slightly, and ignored the two. These two guys, with ruddy faces and full of energy, can be seen that the two of them have also eaten a lot of human flesh, and there seems to be a sickly light in their eyes.

Seeing that He Kegang didn't care about himself, the two were slightly embarrassed, and they wanted to change someone else in normal times, and the two of them had a seizure on the spot, but in the face of He Kegang, a Chinese army with high prestige, they didn't dare to make a mistake.

He Kegang drank a few sips of broth and said, "Has Zu Shuai eaten it?" ”

Zu Zeqing hurriedly said: "Eat it, my father eats, Uncle He, drink more!" ”

He Kegang's face softened slightly, and suddenly said, "Why don't you two drink some too." ”

"No, no, no, we can't drink!" Zu Zeqing hurriedly shook his hand and said.

"Why?" Sima Jian suddenly felt unsteady for no reason, this bowl of broth just now was sent by Zu Zeqing's subordinates.

He Kegang's face also changed, and he shouted: "Could it be that this bowl of broth is made of human flesh?" ”

"No, no, no! No, definitely not human flesh! This is a broth made from Uncle Ho's mount! Zu Zeqing hurriedly explained.

"Then why can't you drink it?" He Kegang asked strangely.

"This ......" Zu Kefa rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle He, in fact, I won't tell you that my father is not worried about your body, he heard that you often give the broth he gave you to drink to the brothers, but you don't drink it at all, how can you go on like this!" My father sent us both to visit you, saying that we would have to watch you drink the broth before we could return to him, and you said how could we drink your broth? ”

Hearing this, He Kegang couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, Zu Shuai still hadn't forgotten himself at this moment, after all, he had been an old brother for many years. Although there is something wrong between the two of them these days because of the matter of receiving friendly troops to help, deep down, they still won't be angry with each other.

He Kegang took a few more sips and said, "Okay, I'm almost done, you guys go back!" ”

He didn't want these two people to dangle in front of his eyes, they were not only eating human flesh, but also said to be instigating Zu Dashou to surrender to Jin Bing, and when he saw them, he didn't have the anger to deal with them.

Zu Zeqing and Zu Kefa naturally knew that He Kegang didn't want to see him, and saw that there was only a small half left in He Kegang's bowl, so the two glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths showed a subtle smile, and they all said goodbye to He Kegang at the moment.

Sima Jian happened to look up and casually glimpse the meaningful smile of the two before leaving, and always felt that something was not quite right, but for a while he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He Kegang looked at the remaining small half bowl of broth and said, "Sima, I'm full, you drink these, see if you're hungry." ”

Sima Jian excused himself for a while, but he couldn't stand it, so he had to drink the small half bowl of broth with tears.

......

Mo Li fell asleep in a daze until about midnight, and was suddenly woken up by Liang Peijun. When I opened my eyes, I saw Liang Peijun say anxiously: "Husband, it's broken, it's raining heavily!" ”

Mo Li crawled to his feet. When I listened to it, sure enough, the wind was blowing fiercely outside, and the torrential rain was like a note, hitting the tile surface and making a rattling sound.

Guan Feng, Cao Wenzhao, Ma Jinzhong, Cao Bianjiao and others also rushed over, originally, the army was already ready to set off, all the soldiers had been called, Guan Feng was also ready to ask Mo Li for instructions, but who would have thought that it would suddenly rain such a rainstorm.

The advantage of the Binh Duong Army is that it has advanced firearms, but now that the heavy rain is pouring, it is difficult to operate firearms at all, and this advantage no longer exists. If the soldiers were asked to compete with the Tartars in archery and cold weapons, would they have a chance of winning?

Mo Li grimaced and didn't say a word. Damn, I finally rushed to Jinzhou City in a hurry, and when I was about to attack, it was pouring rain! Is this thief deliberately trying to go against me? Could it be that even God doesn't bless the Ming Dynasty and the Chinese country?
