Liu Kui has clearly realized that this is a war that cannot be won, and defeat is only a matter of time. It only took a month to go from being full of ambition to defeat the enemy and recovering the lost land to now being discouraged and recognizing the reality.

No matter how hard he struggles, it is only a delay in the time of defeat, as a Great Qin soldier, and the most glorious Thunder soldier, the only thing he can do is to fight to the end until his life is gone.

Liu Kui closed his eyes, and somehow remembered the young Mingguo scout he met not long ago. Compared to Liu Kui, who is already in his early forties, that Ming Kingdom scout is probably a little over twenty. He was a little shocked when the young scout dismounted his horse and strode towards him, throwing off his weapon.

Because this young man can run away. But he didn't, and his ultimate goal was to take away the refugees who were already dying. These refugees were all expelled from Shuanglian City, which Liu Kui knew very well, Lian Shaowen, the defender of Shuanglian City, was very ruthless, but Liu Kui did not think that he had done it right, because only in this way could the food burden of Shuanglian City be reduced, so that Shuanglian City could hold on for a longer time.

These people are all dependents of the soldiers of the Qin State, and in Liu Kui's mind, shouldn't the people of the Ming Kingdom hate them? But a small scout, in order to save the lives of these people, dared to walk in front of him with his bare hands.

You must know that during this time period, the scouts and patrols on both sides have already killed red eyes in this area, as long as they meet, they will be divided into life and death.

The Qin people themselves didn't care about the life and death of their comrades, but the enemy was saving their lives, at that moment, Liu Kui felt ridiculous and ashamed. At that moment, he felt that he was very faceless, and the Qin people had no face, and at that moment, he even thought about killing these Ming scouts to cover up this humiliating matter.

If these Ming scouts die, those refugees will naturally die, and then such a scandal will naturally not be spread.

At that moment, he was really murderous.

At the moment when he was about to give the order, the cry of a baby sounded in his ears like a thunderbolt from the sky, and woke him up from an inexplicable anger.

It is already a great shame that he is a soldier of Great Qin, and it is already a great shame that he can't protect those dependents, and if he lets them die innocently in order to cover up this matter, it will not only be a shame.

Without saying a word, he turned and left.

From that day on, he spent more time than fighting. Often awakened by the baby's crying during a short sleep.

That's freshmen. Perhaps for that newborn, he will usher in a new life.

It was fear, and perhaps at that moment, he had already felt that he was about to face the greatest crisis of his life.

It was a prayer that he would not be willing to die like this at the hands of the man who was supposed to protect him.

It was anger, and he couldn't understand why he had killed him.

At that moment, he was extremely ashamed.

The sound of horses' hooves outside the forest woke Liu Kui from his memory, he opened his eyes, looked at the cavalry galloping into the forest, and stood up.

He had put more than one secret post outside the forest, if it was an enemy, he would have issued a warning a long time ago, and now that this horse has been driving straight in, it will naturally only be his own brother.

"Sentry, I'm back." The man rolled over and dismounted, ripped off the fur hat on his head, revealing a familiar face of Liu Kui.

"How's that going?" When Liu Kui asked softly, he took out the flat small wine jug from his arms and handed it to the soldier who had just returned. The soldier took a small sip, and instantly a blush appeared on his face.

"Those people, where are they now. There, the Ming army renovated the original village and placed those people there." Shi lost handed the flat wine jug back to Liu Kui, "The refugees we notified later also arrived there, the Ming army repaired the houses and transported a lot of food and materials, and those people survived."

Looking at the soldier's relieved expression, Liu Kui also felt that the whole person relaxed all of a sudden, and finally survived.

Although this was a great irony for the court that he had been loyal to, it was the greatest misfortune for these people, who might lose their sons, brothers, and fathers in the war, but someone could survive, and in this troubled time, it was already a luxury.

He already has a clear understanding of his future fate, fighting for the country will be his best ending, or his family will not be implicated after the complete defeat of the Qin State, since the Ming people can tolerate these military dependents in Shuanglian City, then naturally they can also tolerate their family members who are still in Yongdu City.

It's been a month since he came out, and he doesn't know if his home is okay now. The city of Yongdu is now under military control, and everyone's daily food is rationed. Of course, the military is the most priority, and the women, children, and children are the last, and their daily ration only ensures that they do not starve to death. When you are in the city, you can save a little food to give them, but after you go out of the city, everything is not comfortable, even because you received a bag of food as a reward before you go out of the city, but that bag of food is only fifty catties, and it can't let the family spend a long time.

Behind everyone here, there is a home. And the same is true of the more than 300 brothers who have died. Or this war will end sooner, and I and everyone's families will be able to end this painful day sooner.

This sudden thought made Liu Kui himself taken aback, and at the same time he was shocked, how could he suddenly have such an idea. He glanced up at his companions with some humility. No one noticed his abnormality, and everyone was hurrying to rest and regain their strength.

Every encounter with the Ming army is a wandering in front of the Ghost Gate, with one foot in and one foot outside, and it is possible to report to the Yama Palace at any time.

Looking up at the sky, Liu Kui put his index finger and thumb ring in his mouth, and made a whistle, and all the soldiers in the forest immediately moved, and began to check their equipment one by one, and after a while, they led the war horse and gathered to Liu Kui's left and right.

It's time to strike again. Liu Kui looked at the nearly two hundred brothers in front of him. These two days are the days when Yongdu transports grain to Shuanglian City, and every two days are the most fierce moments of battle. It can be said that every grain transported to the twin cities is dyed with blood.

This battle is over, I don't know how many people will be able to come back alive, Liu Kui silently swept over every face, there was no expression on the familiar face, no excitement, no fear, everyone was the same as Liu Kui, they were all numb. Too much blood and death has made them lose their passion for everything. Fighting, it's just an instinct anymore.

"Let's go!" Leading the war horse, Liu Kui walked towards the outside of the forest, leaving the pine forest where they had been hiding for several days. Maybe they'll come back here next time, but certainly won't be so many of them again.

From Yongdu to Shuanglian City, less than fifty miles away, every action to transport grain to Shuanglian City is a test of life and death, the scouts of the Ming army, the patrol cavalry will be like a cat smelling fishy, from all directions suddenly appear at any point in this area, to the grain transport team to launch a sprint again and again.

Fifty miles away, if the grain team moves at full speed, it can be reached in a day at most, but every time the grain is transported, it will take two days or more on the road, and they have to be slow and have to move forward cautiously, because at any time there may be an attack by the Ming army, or a squad of a dozen people, or a large army of hundreds of people, or more.

Sometimes the Ming army's attack team obviously did not come from the same army, but they were always able to complete the unified command of the operation in a very short time, forming a joint force and causing great losses to the Qin army's grain transportation team. When they miss, they'll whip away, and before you can catch your breath, they'll come back.

The cavalry of the Thunder Army was sent out of the city under such circumstances, and their task was to drive and kill these elusive Ming cavalry.

But even so, the amount of grain that can be transported to Shuanglian City every time is limited, and only three to forty percent of the grain can be transported to the destination at a time, because the purpose of the Ming army is not to grab grain, but to destroy.

In the snow, a team is moving forward rapidly, one pack after another pulling plows, and the plows are filled with sacks of grain. A 1,000-strong army served as the escort of the food team.

Captain Wang Zunzhi rode on a horse, his uneasy eyes scanned the surroundings, he was the third time to go out of the city to escort food, every time he went out of the city, it was equivalent to tying his head to the waistband of his trousers and walking on this fifty-mile road, such a dangerous thing, ordinary people would not think about it anymore when they did it, but Wang Zunzhi, who did not have a little backstage, was already the third time. There's no way, even if Daqin has reached this point now, having a backstage and not having a backstage are two things.

There was no snow for the past two days, but the wind was whistling, and the snow on the ground was frozen to the ground, which made the plough climb faster. It has been successfully walked for twenty miles, and the majestic outline of Yongdu City can no longer see a shadow, but this is also the most dangerous time, from the experience of the first two grain protections, this point is the most vulnerable to the Ming army's attack.

As long as you hold forward to within ten miles of Shuanglian City, it will be much safer, at that time, Shuanglian City can send soldiers and horses to meet it, and the Ming army will generally retreat at this time and no longer entangle.
