This is the last meal.

Looking at the steaming and fragrant chunks of meat in the big bowl in front of him.

Four thousand people were silent.

The current desperate situation in Changzhou, as an ordinary soldier, could not be foreseen when he first entered Changzhou City, but when he was besieged by a large army, he had all kinds of expectations.

In addition to the one or two hundred surviving recruits under Xu Xiao's command, the remaining 3,000 people are all men who have walked on the battlefield several times.

They all thought they could face it calmly.

But until he really reached a desperate situation, especially when he watched the comrades in the robe next to him die one after another, or he was shot through the throat by a crossbow arrow and died, or he was hit by a boulder and died in agony for a long time...... The corpse became cold, and then it was buried by a lake in Changzhou City in the night, and the world was over.

These men knew that death was such a fearful thing.

Don't want to die.

But in the battlefield, the strength of the individual is so small, life and death are involuntary.

No one can afford the bowl in front of them.

Not everyone can die with anger.

"Don't want to die?"

"Good."

"Then try to live, but this is the battlefield, if you don't want to die, then only the enemy will die, war has always been like this, for the ambition of a few people, countless people have shed blood on the battlefield, and even one day, maybe in Yuzhou behind Changzhou, or even further south in the homeland where your wives and children are, there will be countless people who will die, they will not die on the battlefield, but in the countryside, in the ruins of their homes - among them, there may be your relatives, and even your wives and children."

"In Changzhou today, it is death to defend and surrender is death."

"Break through, it's possible not to die."

"Even if we die in the end, as long as we kill one more person, your relatives, your wives and children, it is possible that they will be slaughtered by a single sword and trampled by the iron cavalry of a non-commissioned soldier of the Western Army."

"If you die, why can't you die meaningfully."

Li Ruyu pressed his sword, glanced at everyone, and finally said: "I want to live, what about you?" ”

Countless soldiers raised their heads and looked at this very young general, whose performance in this ten-day siege battle was not amazing, and even Xu Xiao and Zhuo Zongtang were inferior.

They did not see despair.

Rather, I saw hope.

Li Ruyu's body is full of hope for life.

A hope to survive in a desperate situation.

A man in his early thirties suddenly wiped a handful of tears from his face, bent down to pick up the bowl, and said with a smile: "When I was in Bishan County, a letter from my family arrived, and my child was able to compose poems. 'My son's poem is so well written, he will definitely be the first in the imperial examination in the future, right?' ”

After the man finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Beside him, a robe laughed with tears in his laughter: "If you surrender on dog days, your son will never want to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of his life, my son will be different, although he can't write poetry yet, but Lao Tzu must not embarrass him!" ”

After speaking, he also took a bite.

The man said angrily before: "Let your mother shit, Lao Tzu would rather die than surrender, eat meat!" ”

The two of them were very ordinary gags, but they were like a few drops of water dripping from a frying pot, which instantly ignited the desperate school field, and countless people thought of their wives and children, and remembered their responsibilities.

That's right.

We will die.

But we will use this death to take care of the prosperous world created by the empress.

Just for my wives and children to live, in this prosperous time, to live better, isn't this the original intention of me to join the army, how to face a desperate situation, forget the original intention?

Since the left and right are one death, then eating a full meal of meat before death is also a blessing.

Then, fuck Zhao Kuo again!

One by one, they picked up the bowls.

Gobble up.

While constantly eating meat, they talk to each other and strengthen their courage.

After eating this bowl, the robe Ze went to death together.

Why be afraid?

Li Ruyu didn't have a bowl in front of him, looking at this scene, he didn't move, and looked back at Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao.

Xiahou Chi, Hua Xiaodao, and Zhuo Zongtang had no choice but to eat meat.

Xu Xiao didn't move.

Li Ruyu didn't force Xu Xiao either, until he saw that everyone except Xu Xiao had eaten meat, and then he said loudly: "Do you feel a little sour?" ”

No one answered.

Li Ruyu said: "Because this is not poultry meat. ”

Someone stopped.

Li Ruyu turned a blind eye, and in order to maximize his combat strength, he continued to lie: "These meats are those flesh and blood that have died in the defense of the city since the day before yesterday, in fact, the food in the city will be gone at noon today. ”

This lie is heavy.

As soon as these words came out, there was a crackling sound, and countless large bowls fell to the ground and shattered.

After a short silence, the man who ate meat first jumped to his feet and pulled out his knife, rushed out of the array desperately, and howled, "Li Ruyu, I'll kill you!" ”

As soon as the call was answered, almost at the same time, hundreds of people rushed out to kill Li Ruyu.

School Mess!

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao petrified.

Zhuo Zongtang silently put down the bowl and quietly pressed the war knife on his waist.

He did not agree with Li Ruyu's approach.

If Li Ruyu can't give a satisfactory answer, he will forget what the Daliang military law is, and the war knife in his hand will definitely be the first knife to fall on Li Ruyu.

Xu Xiao just sighed helplessly, he guessed that these meats were horse meat, beef and mule meat that had been aged for a long time, in fact, there was no need to deceive again, these four thousand people had already rekindled their war spirit with the idea of putting them to death and resurrecting them.

Why does Li Ruyu have to be exposed?

It's just a matter of change.

Xu Xiao held down Zhuo Zongtang and whispered in his ear: "It's mule meat, horse meat and beef, and it's been aged for too long, so it's sour." ”

Zhuo Zongtang suddenly let go of the hand that pressed the knife.

Li Ruyu watched the hundreds of people rushing over, drew his sword without the slightest hesitation, asked the general, and immediately plunged his long sword into the ground.

In front of him, ten blood-colored pillars of light rose into the sky.

The absolute strength made the hundreds of people pause for a moment, and there was a moment of silence on the school field.

Li Ruyu took the opportunity to shout: "Get back for me!" ”

The hundreds of people froze, and the remaining more than 3,000 people were also at a loss, not knowing what to do, at this moment their hearts were full of absolute hatred for Li Ruyu, how could he let us eat the flesh and blood of the robe?

Li Ruyu silently returned his long sword to the sheath, glanced at it, and said coldly: "Think I'm like a demon from hell?" Hate me? It's right to hate, but remember, who forced you to do this! ”

Li Ruyu sneered, "Pao Ze is dead, he died under the sword and arrow of the group of enemies outside the city, they will never see their homeland, and they will not hear the call of their relatives, wives and children, but you still have a chance." ”

"If you can live, protect their dreams while they are alive, and protect their wives and children who are far away in their homeland, I think they will have absolutely no regrets even if it is the current situation."

"For you are their hope."

"Now, you will carry the dreams of the robes, and you will carry their imprints, and go out of the city to fight, to fight to the death."

"Tell me, will you let Pao Ze die in vain, are you willing to let Pao Ze die without turning a blind eye?"

No one spoke.

Li Ruyu knew that it was impossible for this group of men to say anything at this moment, because the last touch of dignity in their hearts, the dignity of being a Daliang soldier, had been shattered by this truth, and the anger in their hearts had also been completely aroused by this truth.

Four thousand people with no dignity, no fear, only anger will be a horde of terrifying beasts.

Tongue blooming spring thunder: "Keep eating for me!" ”

Li Ruyu glanced sideways at Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao, and roared, "Eat!" ”

Xiahou Chi and Hua Xiaodao didn't know why, hesitated, and knelt down silently.

Tears choked back and continued to eat.

The hundreds of men who rushed out to kill Li Ruyu before were silent for a while, and then silently walked back to the array, kneeling and picking up the bowl, swallowing one bite after another.

Four thousand men, all on their knees, drank the blood of my robe, and devoured the flesh of my robe.

No one spoke.

It's just that everyone has tears and is so tragic that no one suspects that Li Ruyu is lying to them, how do they know that they are eating expired beef, horse meat and mule meat.

Killing intent is running in everyone's heart.

After today, we will carry the imprint of the robe and fight for our common dream.

Fight to the death!

But almost no one agrees with Li Ruyu's approach, and even many people still have murderous intent towards Li Ruyu in their hearts, and they have made a great determination in their hearts: if they can survive the breakthrough, they must use the war knife in their hands to ask Li Ruyu for an explanation.

Use his head to give the late Robe an explanation.

The school grounds are quiet.

Everyone was eating quietly, and then crying quietly, and the bloody men on the battlefield cried like a girl.

Li Ruyu has been watching this scene indifferently.

There is a heavy heart, heavy because of deception......

Xu Xiao sighed, so he had to kneel down and pick up the bowl.

The grain and grass official surnamed Zhang, who had been standing beside Li Ruyu, was a little admired, "Don't you really tell them the truth?" ”

Li Ruyu looked back and glanced at him coldly, "Before the big break of the deer army outside the city, if you and your subordinates dare to tell the truth, I will kill you!" ”

The grain and grass officer surnamed Zhang stopped talking.

Looking at the back of the young general, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

If you don't say it now, when the war is over, you won't be able to tell it anymore.

No one will believe it!

I'm afraid that in this life, you will be infamy, Daliang Army, probably no one will look down on you, even if you become famous in the future, you will not be able to enter the imperial court.

The Privy Council and the Ministry of War will not dare to let you take up your post, and other departments with a large number of civil officials will not accept you.

But who understands your hard work.

Why bother?

It's night, and when the night is dark, Changzhou breaks through!

The north gate of Changzhou City was wide open, and the grain and grass officer and dozens of subordinates, as well as the military machine man, also abandoned his pen to catch the sword, and with the four thousand soldiers, he screamed like a dead father, and when he pounced on the military camp of the Zhulu Army like a wild beast in the mountains, no one was afraid of death, and the long knife in his hand was directed, just to kill the enemy.

His hand was cut off by the enemy's long knife, so he picked up the long knife with another hand and continued to fight.

He was shot by a crossbow arrow and pulled out the arrow expressionlessly.

The Tiance sergeant who said that the children in his family could already write poems were pierced through the heart by the spear of the Deer Chasing Army, and before he died, he held the spear to the bottom of the low-level officer of the Deer Chasing Army, until he saw the robe slash to death, he would laugh and fall down.

Fall to the south.

Before closing his eyes, he muttered, son, your father didn't embarrass you.

The man was full of tears, the sword in his hand stopped for a moment, and he didn't cover the huge wound on his waist that pulled out the tip of the arrow and opened it, and laughed and said to the robe Ze that your son's poem is really well written, and he will definitely be the first in the imperial examination in the future.

You go first, and I'll come later.

The man turned and rushed into the midst of the enemy, fearlessly slashing with his sword...... None of us will disgrace our wives and children.

Such a picture is constantly staged in the night and under the flames of war......

White breakout?

Zhao Kuo, who was caught off guard by being killed, was overjoyed.

You have only a few thousand remnants, but I have more than 20,000.

No matter how strong your combat power is, you can meet a more powerful Zhulu army, with a ratio of thousands to more than 20,000 troops, and break through?

Dream!

It's just right, so that you can also taste the despair of being killed back no matter how you break through.

Estimating the strength of the enemy's army, Zhao Kuo became more and more proud, this is already a breakthrough in the city, so, then there will be a battle of encirclement and annihilation, Zhao Kuo decisively ordered, ordering the troops in the east, south and north to quickly outflank back.

Prepare to catch turtles in an urn.

Without the city, these 4,000 people would only be killed.

There are no chances.

But......

The deer chasers who were killed were horrified to find that they were not facing a group of remnants, but a group of people who didn't know fear, didn't know pain, and didn't even care about life and death...... Beast.

That's right, this is a bunch of beasts!

Even if the Zhulu Army is a veteran of the battlefield who has fought several battles with Dali soldiers, he has been killed at this moment, and in the dark night, those who are covered in blood, and those who can continue to fight to the death with broken hands and feet, who are not afraid.

After the 1,000 people who had initially formed a defensive formation to prevent the Changzhou defenders from breaking through were scattered, in the barracks behind the defensive formation, countless soldiers and soldiers who chased the deer had even just put on their armor and had no time to organize an effective formation, and they were rushed and killed by that group of beast-like enemies.

Complete one's misery.

A cavalry army of six or seven thousand men suddenly appeared on the left flank, and the leader of the army, dressed in white robes and armed with spears, led thousands of light horsemen, like a long dragon in the dark night, suddenly and forcefully crashed into the formation.

Caught with one's pants down!

In an instant, the deer chaser army was torn apart.

Li Ruyu, who was burying his head in killing the enemy, saw the familiar white robe, his heart was settled, he let out a sigh of relief, laughed, but said: "I know you're here!" ”

This is a big gamble by Li Ruyu.

Gambling on the gentleman's flag will not lie to himself.

Gambling on the gentleman's banner and his own heart, Li Su, who would give up Yongchuan, led the Chuanyun army to the outside of Changzhou City at the most critical moment, and cooperated with himself to break the formation strongly, just like when he watched the fishing city.

The gentleman's flag killed a light knight of the deer army with one shot, and he didn't look back, his hearty voice was heroic, and the gentleman's flag on the battlefield was like Chen Qingzhi who broke the city on a white horse: "Do you remember what I said when I was at the Changsaka Bridge, and I still count." ”

Promise me 10,000 iron horses, and return half of your country.

If you Li Ruyu are generals, I will be the robe of your life.

If you Li Ruyu are the king, I will be your peerless countryman.

Never give up.

Li Ruyu laughed and ordered, "Break the enemy!" ”

A breakout is not a breakout, but a decisive battle!

Zhao Kuo kept sneering.

He thought that Bai Qi would inevitably be defeated by himself this time.

But looking at the terrifying 4,000 remnants of Changzhou in the Tiger box, the military camp was chaotic, and the troops on the other three sides had not had time to form a formation to outflank them, Zhao Kuo gradually couldn't laugh.

Especially after seeing the sudden appearance of the cavalry army crashing into the formation, the heart of the Chinese army where he was located began to collapse, and when some of the soldiers fled blindly, Zhao Kuo's smile froze.

Completely confused.

Where the did this light ride come from!

Are the nearly 100 scouts who wandered around Changzhou City all eating?

……

……

On a high mountain ten miles north of Changzhou City, a bonfire was blazing, and a woman was wearing a few carrier pigeons with a Xiurong knife, and she was roasting happily, with a wind-spouted pear flower gun inserted beside her.

On the tip of the gun, the pear blossom pattern blooms in the night.

In the forest below the mountain, there are three bodies of fish that have slipped through the net that the scouts of the Cloud Piercing Army have not stopped, and the three scouts of the Deer Chasing Army are already cold corpses, and the war horses that have no owner and are scattered in the weeds and ruminant occasionally snort.

From time to time, the woman looked up at the West,

There, the war was blazing.

Constantly dying people.

There, the remnants of the army are like beasts, and the light horsemen are like dragons.

Cold-lit iron cloak!

The woman smiled, "Just say that you are looking for death, it is for nothing." ”
