262. Quartermaster
The night of Tianchengwei was still a little cold, and in order not to become the target of the enemy's night attack, open fire was forbidden in the city. However, Tianchengwei, who has no lights, is even more silent and bleak.
Nangong Jin was ordered to garrison the north gate. When I first arrived, I checked the city gate, and I really admired Feng Yue, it was stronger than I imagined. After that, among the three hundred soldiers, he met a few people who had killed the enemy with him in the city. Nangong Jin was happier than them, and directly arranged for them to assist in military training.
According to the previous practice, for every group of ten people, knives, guns, and shields have their own positions and division of labor. Fortunately, most of these 300 people heard that Nangong Jin knew the formation, and the casualties of the people he brought were very few, so they were very happy. Even if you don't have enough weapons, you can find a way to solve it yourself. As a rule, practice for a while before eating, as long as you can kill the enemy and save your life, everyone will practice even if you are hungry.
When the meal arrived late, it was already cold, and the brown rice porridge that was originally relatively thick turned into a cake, and there was a bucket of vegetables that I don't know what it was, and it tasted like swill. However, I was so hungry that no one complained.
Nangong Jin and everyone finished eating together, and just found a quiet place to rest on the top of the city tower of Wengcheng, someone came to report, "General Nangong, there are people looking for it outside." ”
"Young Master!" Nangong Jin got down the city wall, and Baxi ran up, rushed to him and knelt down directly, "Young master, take Baxi with you." ”
Nangong Jin tried to pull him up, "This is the barracks, how can I take you?" ”
"That Baxi is also in the army!" Yaxi refused to get up.
"If it doesn't work, your family will definitely not agree." Nangong Jin said with a smile.
"The young master will succeed, and the eight joys will be successful!" Baxi cried urgently, "The young master guards the city and protects the people. Baxi is the young master's person, and if you want to serve the young master, Baxi can't always let the young master protect you! ”
Nangong Jin smiled, "You get up first." What about Xiao Lian? ”
"He followed Mr. Gao." Baxi still refused to get up.
"Mr. Gao? In the city? ”
"Yes. The shopkeeper of the footshop in the city, he and several elders in the city have been organizing the people to save themselves. Baxi replied.
"Then you should be with them......
Baxi cried and kept shaking his head, "I am the young master's long-term follower, and my task is to follow the young master to serve the good young master." The young master is very hard, and his body is ....... ”
Nangong Jin hurriedly interrupted him, "By the way, the medicine is really gone, did you bring it?" ”
"Yes, yes, I have both!" As he spoke, he took out a bottle and gave it to Nangong Jin, and asked worriedly, "Young Master, are you ......?" ”
"Of course not, be prepared."
"Young master, can Baxi follow you all the time?" Baxi was full of anticipation.
"Baxi, this is a real war, a lot of scenes, I don't want you to see it." Nangong Jin knows that although Baxi is a domestic servant, he is also the meat of his parents at home, and he has not suffered much since he was a child, so he is afraid that following himself will be the hardest day in his life.
"Young master, Baxi is bold and not afraid." Baxi was afraid that Nangong Jin would not agree, so he cried and said, "Young master, if the young master has an accident, Baxi will definitely not live alone!" Therefore, Baxi just wants to serve the young master, follow the young master, and be vigorous! ”
Nangong Jin laughed, "Do you think I'm going to die?" ”
Baxi felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, Baxi just wants to follow the young master and be a hero too." ”
"Did you hear what people said?" Nangong Jin saw that he still refused to get up, so he had to squat down and ask.
"It's not." Baxi lowered his head and whispered, "That's it, it's generally a ...... that can't be kept." ”
"Nangong Jin." Not far away, Han Hongzhou walked over quickly.
Nangong Jin looked up at him and said to Baxi: "It's General Han, if you kneel like this, I will lose face, get up quickly." After speaking, he got up and greeted Han Hongzhou.
Baxi thought about it, probably felt that he couldn't let the young master lose face, stood up, and always followed him not far away.
"General Han." Nangong Jin smiled and gave a salute.
Han Hongzhou also returned the salute, "There is something I want to ask to understand." ”
"Please."
"You're also in charge of the quartermaster, and to be honest, what else does Curry have?" Han Hongzhou's expression was serious. In fact, he has wanted to ask this question for a long time, especially before Chen Baishui, Lin Fei, and the former general soldiers were in collusion, it was not that no one in the city knew, but the war had not yet arrived, and there was no need to care about this idle matter if they were guarding the same city. Besides, even Liang Lie didn't care about it, what did he do. It's just that now, this issue is directly related to everyone's life and death choice.
Nangong Jin didn't expect him to ask this, and he couldn't think of how to answer for a while, "This, at that time, the war was urgent, and General Lin was hurriedly transferred to guard the city gate." So, in fact, he didn't do the handover at that time. ”
"You've been in the quartermaster's depot, to be honest." Han Hongzhou stared at him solemnly, not wanting to be dismissed by his few words.
Nangong Jin didn't want to poke out the military affairs at this time, which would not only affect morale, but also directly affect the outcome of the war. So, I could only say, "I can't say that......." ”
"You locked the door to the quartermaster's depot?" Han Hongzhou interrupted him, and when he saw him answer like this, he had some numbers in his heart.
"It's not."
"So, you went in and saw it?" Han Hongzhou stared at him, "Please tell you the truth." ”
Nangong Jin smiled awkwardly, she really didn't know what to say.
"Killing horses, military horses!" Han Hongzhou said word by word.
Nangong Jin suddenly thought of the food he brought today, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Han Hongzhou, "I believe that Tiancheng can guard ......." ”
Han Hongzhou nodded, "Understood." After a pause, he suddenly burst into anger: "You think you can last a few days?!" Three days? Five days?! What are we going to keep?! Do you have to eat people?! Do you know that Tianchengwei has been broken! Do you know what it means to break a city?! When everyone is dead, it is called a broken city! Do you still need the Tartars to slaughter the city?! Ignoring Nangong Jin, he turned around and left suddenly.
Nangong Jin stood in place for a long time.
Why? Why do you have to defend the city? What to keep? Arrows, how many more can you shoot? Molten iron was poured over the city gates, and the blast furnace was extinguished; When the knife breaks, it's gone. What to kill? Now that there is nothing to defend, it is better to surrender, and maybe there will be fewer deaths. Liang Lie may be right, in him, a single twist can turn defeat into victory.
Even the people of the city knew that the city could not be defended. Why defend the city? For the untouched living dead? Maybe never did. So why defend the city? Maybe Han Hongzhou is right, Tianchengwei has actually been broken. But ......, it can't be like this.
"Young Master......." Baxi stepped forward and whispered.
Nangong Jin sighed slightly, smiled, laughed miserably, thought of something, and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Eat." Baxi replied loudly.
"What did you eat?"
"It's, it's all uneaten, and I don't know what it is." Baxi didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head, and replied weakly.
Nangong Jin patted him with an apologetic face, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen." If you're not afraid, follow me. ”
**********
After besieging the city for so long, since leaving the city to work for the army, Gao Changjing took the initiative to see Liang Lie for the first time.
"Boss, the people in the city have no complaints about the requisition of food and goods before, knowing that it is wartime, these are also their responsibilities. However, as a rule, after the requisition, the defenders were to distribute the rations of the people on a daily basis. However, except for three days after the requisition, no more food has been distributed so far, and the people in the city have long been out of food. Boss, can you take care of the people? Gao Changjing made a polite and polite request.
Grain, grain, this is the first person to ask for food? Who was before? Han Hongzhou or Feng Yue? Liang Lie was expressionless and looked at Gao Changjing. Let's bury the whole city! Anyway, the left and right are dead, so let's die together. Didn't he think that if he was trapped here, he would die? In the face of death, Jinyiwei has a fart.
"There is no food in the city, what can Mr. Gao do?" Liang Lie asked directly.
Gao Changjing thought about countless possibilities, but he never thought that Liang Lie would refuse so directly, "I have recruited so many before, boss!" ”
Liang Lie shook his head, "I'm done eating, and I still don't come out." When he said this, even Liang Lie himself felt a scoundrel, "What else can Mr. Gao do?" ”
Gao Changjing was stunned for a long time, and the two of them stared at each other, "Boss," Gao Changjing sighed, "Boss, is this going to fall?" ”
"When the sun and the sun fall, the mountains should also be considered to have fallen, and the other ....... I've been besieged for so long, and I don't know. As for why the Tartars besieged the city, if I said that they wanted Han slaves, would you believe it or not? Maybe it's worse than a slave, the kind that can't die and can't live. Liang Lie said, with a slight smile on his face, as if he had seen all this, or he didn't believe what he said at all.
Gao Changjing looked at Liang Lie in a daze. Isn't it that the city has been besieged for a long time and is crazy? "This, this ....... It's best not to fall, Yang and Wei's affairs, Gao has also heard of it. The boss is dead, and there is not one in the Acropolis. Gao Shanwei is not clear, but Datong right guard, black car bombed the city, almost the city died together, I heard that several cities in the northwest no longer exist. ”
"You know a lot." Liang Lie suddenly laughed and said to himself: "It's another person with an unusual identity. Hahaha, I, Liang Lie, how can I defend this day! ”
Gao Changjing was secretly stunned, what do you mean? "The coach has been promoted, Gao just has many friends."
"Okay." Liang Lie smiled, as if he didn't care about everything, "Listen to what you just said, if there is not one out of ten, then at least there are still living people." He who does not descend is left with nothing. You don't seem to mean not to fall, do you? ”
"I heard the sound of thunder today, Gao just didn't understand, why didn't the enemy use a black car to bomb the city?"
Liang Lie seemed to understand, "Oh, you mean, as long as there is no black car bombing the city, then defend it again?" ”
Gao Changjing didn't answer, just looked at Liang Lie, is this already admitting death?
"Mr. Gao, I don't have food. If you can keep it for a while, if you can't keep it, Liang is just a death, and even if he commits suicide, his reputation is not good. If you defend the city and die, you can at least be praised as a hero. Speaking of this, Liang Lie laughed, and actually recognized Nangong Jin's statement.
Gao Changjing sighed deeply and got up, "Gao said goodbye." ”
