Chapter 16 Zhongmu God of War
A light rain fell unhurriedly, and the moist air with the slightest smell of blood burrowed into everyone's lungs. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info can't say it's comfortable, but it's definitely not uncomfortable. Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the spring rain that farmers love, but now it is unspeakably annoying. The walls were slippery and greasy, with blood and rammed earth reopened by the rain, making it easy to fall.
However, this has the added benefit of making the rammed earth walls slippery and greasy to climb. This caused a lot of trouble to the Qichu-Wei coalition army in the attack! The corpse was soaked white by the rain under the city, but fortunately there were no mosquitoes and flies now, otherwise it would have been a scene of maggots crawling.
The wet leather armor became slippery and heavy, and it smelled rancid. Although the light rain has subsided, the smell is still smoky. Now, the Qin army is a little envious of the allied soldiers under the city. Because they are wearing iron armor, some veterans transferred from the northwest are very familiar with these iron armor. How do you look at it, how does it look like the kind of iron armor worn by the Pingliang Army. However, the general didn't say anything about such a thing, and the old soldiers naturally kept their mouths shut. Sometimes, prudence is the way to save your life.
The emaciated figure of the permanent tooth appeared at the head of Zhongmu City, and the city walls were full of broken weapons and broken battle armor. After two months of fierce fighting, every inch of rammed earth on the city wall was stained with black and red blood. On the ground, there was a puddle of blood that had just flowed out. The rain fell on the blood, not splashing the slightest ripple, but only diluting the viscous blood.
Everywhere there is smoke, everywhere is urgent. Hengya personally asked Wang Ling for his life and came to Zhongmu City, where the battle was fiercest. He knew that only an immortal and bloody battle could wash away his sins. Perhaps the king will remember his merits and give the old and young in the family a way to live.
At this time, the permanent tooth was holding a halberd, which was stained with sticky blood. Being able to let a commander general of his level personally go into battle to kill the enemy, it can be seen how dangerous the situation has become.
After seven consecutive days and seven nights of fighting, the Great Qin soldiers suffered heavy casualties. The wounded soldiers on the city wall continued to wail Shen Yin, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers under the city were also stacked in several layers. I am afraid that if the attack continues, the enemy will step on the corpse of the robe and rush to the city, and there will be nothing they can do at that time. There was only one force to fight to the death, and as for reinforcements, he didn't count on reinforcements.
"General, take a bite! I haven't eaten for a day, and I can't stand it with iron. "It was the lieutenant of the Chinese military who spoke, and he followed him for more than ten years. When Pingliang was guarding, he was just a nobody. After more than ten years of training, the accumulated military merits have gradually become his most powerful arm.
The lieutenant of the Chinese military held a rice ball in his hand, and the rice was kneaded by hand with salty radish strips inside. The soldiers on the city wall eat this these days. At first, there were lotus leaves, but now there are no lotus leaves. A large pot of rice dumplings was placed there, and the soldiers grabbed it with their bloody hands. At first, the rice is white, and slowly it turns red and black. The soldiers were nibbling on such rice balls, and their hands were stained with blood. The rice dumplings were also stained with blood, but the hungry soldiers didn't care. The salty robe slivers were bitten by them with a "creak" and "creak" sound, and the sound was like a steel knife when it broke a bone.
Nearly two months have passed since the soldiers licked the blood with their knives. I have a head to eat in the morning, and I may not have a head to sleep at night. Life and death have made people numb, and perhaps only eating can make people feel that they are still alive.
The rice balls brought by the lieutenant of the Chinese military were very clean, and they were actually wrapped in lotus leaves. Undoubtedly, this is a special offer from the chef in order to tie up with the coach.
Heng Fang sighed, how could he not be hungry if the water and rice had not entered for two days. At this moment, no one knew that the general who had just killed the two Wei Wushu with great courage was tumbling in his internal organs. His feet were so soft that he could barely support his tall and thin body, and the trembling that came from the depths of his soul made him have the urge to fall down the city tower and get rid of it. The majestic and palpitating halberd posture really requires a crutch to support the center of gravity of the body.
"Give it to the wounded soldiers!" Heng Fang sighed, revealing a small piece of meat on the edge of the rice ball. It should be a piece of meat, not the salty radish strips that the soldiers ate. After two months of siege, thankfully there was no food shortage. But meat is also a precious thing, and it is likely that this is the meat that kills war horses. There was no grass in the city, and the groom could not get so much grass to feed the horses. Instead of watching them starve to death, it is better to kill and eat meat. It's also meat, and it replenishes the strength of the soldiers.
Permanent Tooth felt a little sad, as a general, he could only give the soldiers this little thing. The quartermaster had already reported that the city would have enough food to last for a month at most. At that time, there would be no reinforcements, and the 40,000 Qin troops led by himself would only have a dead end. This situation reminded him of the days when he was besieged by the Donghu people in winter. That kind of despair, helplessness and desolation, people who have not experienced it will not understand.
Walking to the large wooden basin where the rice dumplings were placed, the rice dumplings had been left to the bottom of the basin for the soldiers to eat. The rice is a little short when steamed, and it is not sticky enough. The rice dumplings under the basin have fallen apart, which is also something that cannot be helped. The cooks have begun to demolish the houses in the city to make firewood.
The permanent tooth walked to the rice bowl and picked up the rice balls with his hands. There are also the salty slivers scattered inside, and they are clenched again little by little with the big bloody hands. Then, eat it bite by bite.
The salty radish strips of rice balls smell bloody, and the taste goes straight to the brain. However, the permanent teeth are still in the mechanical hypopharynx and must eat. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to survive today, and the soldiers all looked at their boss in a daze. It has always been the little soldiers who eat leftovers, as a coach, it is already great to be able to do it without Qiu Qiu in winter and not open an umbrella in summer, and now the big marshal actually eats leftovers. This scene really shocked everyone. Even those wounded soldiers no longer applied for silver, but stared at their own handsome with wide eyes, like a beggar, pinching the rice balls little by little, and then stuffing them into their mouths with great difficulty.
There is nothing more than this!
"Woo......!" A melodious trumpet sounded, and everyone took up arms. The allied forces of Qi, Chu and Wei swarmed and killed.
The permanent tooth picked up the halberd and tried to swallow the rice balls in his mouth. Without his greeting, all the soldiers rushed to their posts. In the misty drizzle, the permanent tooth stood at the head of Zhongmu City with a halberd in his hand. The rain-soaked cloak clings to his body.
A pair of eyes stared at the coalition soldiers who rushed up, and at this moment he was the god of war. (To be continued.) )
