Chapter 385 Warmth in the flames of war

"Daddy Huang, what are you going to do here? Why, you always have to deliver things to the soldiers? “

"Needless to say, the children have been working so hard these days! Those dog-day Xianbei people attacked our Guangmu day and night for five consecutive days. I'm old, and I can't help the children anywhere else, but it's okay to let the children eat hot meals~! ”

"Daddy Huang, your old man is not rich. This is to take out all the seeds left for next year, what should you do with your old man's life next year? ”

"Next year? If we let the Xianbei people of Dog Day come in, we won't even have tomorrow! Next year's story will be next year, and now we must let the children eat their stomachs first! Okay, dog, the old man doesn't have so much time to delay with you, why should you go! ”

I don't know how many times this kind of conversation took place in Guangmu City in five days.

When the Xianbei people began to attack the city, the people in Guangmu City did not have anyone and spontaneously went to help the Han army in the city.

But three days later, the situation changed dramatically.

The young and strong helped the Han army defending the city to carry the rolling wood and stones, and the young ones also did what they could.

Even an elderly person like Daddy Huang is even doing some logistical things.

At the beginning, the people of Guangmu City were not as they are now, and almost all of them hid back in their homes for fear of being affected by the war.

But later, as the attack of the Xianbei people became more and more fierce, some old people who had experienced the Xianbei invasion before began to open their homes and walk up to the city wall to help the Han army defending the city.

They knew very well that once the Xianbei people were allowed to enter the city, then the Han people in the city should not want to have anyone alive.

In order to save the lives of their families, they spontaneously walked up to the city wall.

But when they climbed the wall, they were immediately stunned by the sight on the wall, and the pile of corpses in one corner of the wall was enough to shock people.

However, when they saw the Han soldiers resting next to the corpses, tears couldn't help but soak their eyes.

Next to the resting soldiers, some Han soldiers were eating, and those people couldn't help but whimper again after seeing the food in the hands of the soldiers.

In the hands of those soldiers, it turned out to be the kind of hard, dry food that had dried up.

Such an unpalatable thing, these soldiers ate dry food with cold water, and even had a satisfied smile on their faces.

The sight of this scene at the head of the city deeply touched the people who had come on their own initiative, they had never seen such an officer or soldier before.

In the past, whether it was Ding Yuan or other Taishou further along, when fighting against the Xianbei people, they would requisition all the houses around the city wall and use them as temporary military camps for their soldiers.

It is also said that they have fought for the people, and it is natural for the people to contribute their houses.

knows very well that those Xianbei people who are as fierce as wolves outside will pose a deadly threat to themselves.

Those who had their houses expropriated had no choice but to submit and leave their homes with their families.

Many people can only build a temporary shed on the street to live temporarily.

If your fate is good, you can escape the catastrophe safely, and if your fate is not good, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!

This is only part of the predicament faced by the common people, and when the war is most urgent, the Han army defending the city often drives groups of people out of their homes.

Most of these people could only receive a worn-out blade, and some even did not have a blade.

The people, who had rotten sticks and knives in their hands, were used as a supplement to the defenders.

The vast majority of these untrained civilians did not survive even a quarter of an hour in the face of brutal siege warfare.

Often a group of people has just been caught up, and it doesn't take long for them all to be turned into corpses and carried down.

Countless years have passed since this pattern, and the people of the state, especially those close to the frontier, have long become a little numb.

But now they see a different army.

The soldiers of this army would rather lie on the head of the battle-torn city than disturb the people of the city.

The Xianbei people have been attacking for five days, but not a single citizen in the entire Guangmu City has been recruited, which makes those people who have experienced Xianbei's offense deeply touched.

At that time, they had to take the initiative to apply to join the defenders, even if it was to carry ordnance for the defenders, this was considered to have fulfilled their wishes.

However, their request was very tactfully rejected by the general Zhao.

And the general Zhao also said that as long as they had one person alive, they would never let a single common man climb the city wall to join the battle!

No matter how those people took the initiative, General Zhao refused to agree, and in desperation, these people could only return home for the time being.

After they returned to their homes and spread what they had seen and heard, the people of the whole city of Guangmu did not believe it at first.

But as more and more bold people went to the city walls to investigate, all the people believed.

On the third day of the Xianbei siege, the vast majority of the Guangmu people spontaneously walked out of their homes.

They silently came to the city wall and began to help the officers and soldiers do what they could.

The officers and soldiers continued to dissuade the people from returning to their homes in relative safety and avoiding unnecessary casualties.

But at this time, the people became extremely stubborn, they did not have any arguments with the officials and soldiers, but silently did what they could there.

This made the officers and soldiers deeply moved, and at the same time, they felt that the burden on their shoulders became heavier.

They were determined that even if they fought it all themselves, they would not allow such a lovely people to suffer any harm.

After Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei learned that such a situation had happened, they could only let the people continue.

However, they still instructed their soldiers to protect these people and try to avoid bloodshed.

Next, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun discussed, and they thought that they were fighting too passively now.

Although the walls of Guangmu City can still hold on, their soldiers are a little unable to withstand it!

After five days of endless attack by the Xianbei people, although the battle losses of their own people and the Xianbei people reached 1 to 7, the soldiers were dragged and exhausted.

If they can't quickly find a way to turn the tide of the battle, under the invasion of mental and physical exhaustion, the battle damage of their soldiers will soon increase.

This is exactly what the two of them want to avoid, after half an hour of deliberation, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun reached a consensus, now it is their turn to take the initiative.

The five-day onslaught not only made the people on the defending side of the city feel tired, but those Xianbei people who took the initiative to attack the city should be even more tired.

If they can hit out unexpectedly, they will definitely be able to hit the morale of the Xianbei people, and may even make the Xianbei people stop their madness!
