Chapter 361: Crying Blood and Falling (1)
Early in the morning of September 17, 311 A.D
The whole city of Zero has been swept away by the flood, most of the mud houses have collapsed, and the thatched houses are even more in shambles, and many corpses have floated on the water......
Fortunately, most of the defenders have withdrawn to the city wall, but how many people can squat on this broken city wall? Because of this, many people did not go to the city wall, but chose some thatched houses with slightly higher ground to live, and as a result, there was no trace of them, and even many people clashed with the people who had already gone up the city wall in a panic, and it was too late to wait for Beigong Chun and others to come forward to stop it......
The most terrifying thing is that there is another city wall that has fallen into disrepair for a long time, which is already a little precarious, and now it has been washed away by the flood, and it has collapsed violently, and the people on this city wall have also fallen into the water!
And Lingkou City also collapsed due to several city walls (it was originally an adobe city wall, where can it withstand water attack?). ), and lost the only barrier......
When the dawn of dawn reached Zero-Mouth City, there were less than 2,000 defenders left in the entire Zero-Mouth City, of which there were less than 100 Xiliang veterans......
To make matters worse, these people have not eaten for more than two days, and many of the wounded have become more serious after soaking in water!
Especially Lao Li, because of high fever, fright and multiple wound infections, he fell into a deep coma again!
Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng both have some understanding in their hearts, Li Bao may really not be able to survive this time!
Even Shangguan Meng himself began to feel that his body was a little weak, the wound on his shoulder not only collapsed again, but even the blood began to change color, plus because of hunger, people couldn't stand still!
Beigong Chun looked at this miserable scene in the city, and then looked at the helpless eyes of the robes around him, his heart was like being cut piece by piece by a knife, piece by piece, and even his eyes became red!
Beigong Jun hadn't eaten for two days, he had to lean against the wall to save his strength, and his head was also groggy!
The old man who was invited to the city wall by himself had already taken out the little food left in his house and gave it to a few wounded people to eat, and he was still taking care of the wounded at this time!
The old man knew very well in his heart that this city could not be defended, and he did not want to see these children die innocently like this......
The old man walked slowly, step by step, to Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng's side, and said slowly: "Two generals, can you listen to Xiao Lao'er's words?" ”
"The old man has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, what else can't be said in this situation now?!"
"Yes, thanks to you, old man, many of us have survived the injuries, but it's a pity that my brother Li can't stand it anymore, woo......"
Hearing Shangguan's choking sound, Beigong Chun's eyes were also a little moist, he raised his head and glanced at Lao Li not far away, his heart was really uncomfortable!
Seeing these two young men in such pain, the old man had no choice but to persuade: "Two generals, it's better to surrender, although my old man doesn't understand this march and fight, but I think it's enough, you have done well enough, and no one is qualified to blame you!" Look at these children, which one was not born to their parents? Which is not a living life? Instead of dying in vain, it is better to leave a useful body and wait for the opportunity! ”
After the old man said this, he looked at the young faces around him, and said earnestly again: "Little old man, I have lived so many years of obsession, and I have seen a lot of knowledge, a good man like you, a good man, a good man, rare in the world, why can't you leave a useful body?" Do you have to carry those bullshit shackles that don't exist in the first place? Is the scolding of others more important than the lives of these children? Their righteous and moral people are a piece of! ”
"Old Man's ......"
"I know, you should be under the command of Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, for him, it's not worth it!"
"Old man, do you also know Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang?!" Beigong Chun looked at the old man a little strangely, his eyes were full of doubts!
"Hmph, which of the people in my prison doesn't spit on him? It is not worth it for you to die for such people! You're still young, and it's right to have your own persistence, but it's worth dying to die, isn't it? Wouldn't it be even more ridiculous to die so easily?! ”
"Old man, don't you know, we already have the heart of death, and we don't hide it, we have escaped once before, if we surrender again, what face will we have to meet the people of the world?!"
"Shit! When you fought against the Xiongnu for the people here, where did all those clansmen of the Jin family go? If you want to laugh, we laugh at them, it's all something that is not as good as pigs and dogs, why bother with it!? Listen to my old man's advice, come down! ”
"Old man, we ......"
"Hey! Pedantic! I might as well tell you, I used to be an errand in the big clan, and I learned a little bit of poetry, and then the big clan I relied on was confiscated of all the family property, and the people in the clan were also swallowed up and received by other big clans, and I fled to the northwest alone, at that time I almost died because of the water and soil, and a child of the Hu clan saved me, so I taught him what I had learned in my life, and the child was very good and talented......"
"The old man said that the child is?!"
"Hehe, don't mention it, I shouldn't teach him my knowledge, so I haven't let him call me Master, hey, that kid may think I'm dead, hehe, later, I fell here alone, took root, and can live to this day, seeing me Dajin and good men like you, it's enough!"
After saying this, the old man suddenly reluctantly glanced at this unruly city that had been flooded, he stroked the walls of the city wall beside him, and then looked at Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng, nodding his head incessantly.
The old man slowly walked to the edge of the city wall, as if talking to himself, said: "When I was young, this city was very beautiful, especially when the acacia flowers bloomed, it was really very beautiful, I remember that my mother-in-law met me under the locust tree, hehe, when the old woman was young, she really had a fucking ambition, haha, old woman!" I'm coming for you, old man! ”
After the old man said this, he suddenly jumped down to the bottom of the city wall, and was swept away by the torrent in an instant!
Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng were shocked and got up from the ground all at once, they never thought that this old man would go like this!
Doesn't he want to be a burden to everyone? That's why you chose to die like this?!
Beigong Chun's heart was full of pain, and those injured and sick who had received the favor of the old man whimpered and cried even more!
Shangguan Meng even fell to his knees, unable to speak for a long time, and there were tears in his eyes!
At this moment, Li Bao suddenly woke up, he slowly got up, and slowly walked to Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng's side......
Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng were surprised, but they were extremely excited in their hearts, Li Bao finally woke up!
Li Bao still felt pain all over his body, but he didn't know why his strength seemed to have come back a lot, obviously his forehead was still so hot, and his body was still so weak!
Compared with Shangguan Meng's excitement, Beigong Chun still noticed the strangeness on Lao Li's face!
Li Bao's face was a little bewitching and ruddy, and this ruddy was still changing, and even slowly turned from red to dark......
Suddenly, Li Bao stumbled and fell to Shangguan Meng's side, and blood kept spitting out of his mouth!
Looking at Li Bao's terrifying appearance, Beigong Chun and Shangguan Meng suddenly realized in their hearts that this was Li Bao's return to the light!
"Lao Li, don't move!"
"Lao Li, what's wrong with you! Don't scare us! ”
"Hehe, what...... What is not scared? You two haven't seen anyone dying, huh? Hehe, I didn't expect my Li Bao to die so young......"
"Woo woo, Lao Li, you bastard, don't talk nonsense!"
Seeing Li Bao like this, Beigong Chun hurriedly ran to Lao Li's side, and choked up: "Lao Li! ”
"General, is my old Li a hero?!"
"You've always been my hero!"
"General, my Lao Li has one last thing I want to ask you!"
"You say, I'll promise you everything!"
"Surrender, take your brothers home, go home...... Remember to bring my bones back with you......"
