Chapter 33: Asking for help

In the month of the food shortage, Suiyang City is already a mess at the moment, all the things that can be chewed and moved have been looted, smashed, and put into the boiling soup, even so, now there is nothing to eat in the city, and the people can only use the muddy rain all day long to fill their hunger, for a time, malaria is rampant, starving people abound, and their families have long been unable to wail, watching the soldiers drag away the corpses of their relatives and bury them.

The soldiers defending the city because they have no food to eat, they can't pull the bow and crossbow, they can't carry the knives and guns, during the day on this day, hundreds of thieves have advanced to Suiyang City unscathed, if it weren't for Yan Feng's strong fighting spirit to lead the Xuanjia battalion that still has some strength out of the city to fight, I'm afraid that these hundreds of thieves have climbed the Suiyang city wall. Zhang Xun Xu Yuan knew that if this continued, the day of breaking the city was not far away, but he was helpless, Yan Feng was not only concerned about the safety of Suiyang at the moment, but also relieved him that his whereabouts were unknown The two thousand patrols, Yan Feng thought for a few days, and decided to fight out of the siege again, and return the same way, one is to find the whereabouts of the patrol army, and the other is to see if he can borrow the food soldiers from the nearby city, as soon as these words came out, the generals in the city asked to kill with Yan Feng, among them, because Nan Jiyun had already rushed out once, Yan Feng thought about it repeatedly, It was decided to take only Nan Jiyun and one general, and also ordered twenty soldiers of the Xuanjia Battalion who still had some strength to follow him out of the city, and the rest of the people in the city had to stay and hold on to the city until the two of them rushed back.

The night before leaving, Zhang Xun secretly summoned Nan Jiyun to himself, whispered a few words, Nan Jiyun listened to the words, hesitated for a moment, and finally arched his hand, walked out of the inner room with a solemn face, and then sighed, ordered a hundred Suiyang soldiers, and carried a shovel to the south city where the dead were buried.

Nan Jiyun stood in front of a mound of earth that had just been filled with dead bodies: "Listen, everyone, if you don't want to starve to death, dig for me desperately, eat these, hold this place, and hold on until General Yan and I come back!" ”

A little soldier cried with a sad face, and said weakly: "General Nan, it's buried here, but it's all the people in our Suiyang City..."

"Of course I do! But what can I do? This is something that cannot be kept quiet! Do you hear me? Dig! Did you hear it? Who dares to say one more thing, military law is engaged! ”

"Yes..."Everyone had to reluctantly agree, they all knew that now there was no grain of rice or grain in the city, the people were dying of hunger and disease, the soldiers were no longer able to fight, and the edible things in the city were swept away, and now, only this dead man was left. In desperation, he had to wave the shovel in his hand and start digging up the soil as quietly as possible.

"General...", a soldier in his thirties and forties, with stubble on his face, walked up to Nan Jiyun with trembling hands, tremblingly pointed to the excavated dirt pit, and whispered with tears in his eyes: "My mother-in-law, she... In this pit, please general ... General, please, after the meat is removed! Let me clean up my mother-in-law's bones! ”

At this point, the soldier fell to his knees with a thud, endured his grief, and knocked to the ground without saying a word. Seeing this, many people around him also fell on the edge of the pit, looking at the lifeless corpses in the pit by the miserable white moonlight, and scratching the loess on the ground with his fingers spasm.

Nan Jiyun forcibly endured the depression in his chest, and shouted in a low voice, "As long as you can keep Suiyang, build a big tomb for them when the time comes!" I do what I say! Dig fast! ”

……

Qin Wei stopped at the head of Suiyang, looked straight at the brightly lit rebel camp in the distance, and couldn't help clenching the crescent halberd in his hand, and there was a sound of intestinal ringing in his abdomen, Qin Wei had to smile bitterly: It seems that he is really hungry, although he has been in the army for several years, but the thousand cavalry army has never been unable to supply supplies, after all, the garrison of the eastern capital is still extremely relied on by the emperor, so it is the first time that he has no food for several days like this, and he has just recovered from his serious injuries, and his body has long been unable to bear it, although he is taken care of by Xiaoxiao, Bai Yu and Begonia also sneaked out of the city from time to time to secretly pick some wild fruits for themselves, but for Qin Wei's physical condition, it was tantamount to a drop in the bucket, according to Xiaoxiao, in the case of extreme food shortage, it is best for Qin Wei's physical condition to lie motionless and minimize his own consumption in order to support him for a longer time, but how could he lie down steadily? It's better to die outside the city that day just to make trouble for others... Thinking of this, Qin Wei had to sigh, and suddenly remembered Chuan Bao again, his heart was stagnant again, and he looked at the rebel camp outside the city, and suddenly exerted force in his hand, and the halberd hit the bluestone at the head of the city, and the bluestone that was harder than iron was instantly torn apart.

"Did Brother Qin think of the Xi clan?" I don't know when, Begonia quietly appeared behind Qin Wei, silently staring at the man in front of him, seeing him looking out of the city, and then the resentful halberd touched the ground, he had already guessed what he was thinking, so he began to ask.

"Miss Begonia, aren't you with Brother Bai?" Qin Wei didn't look back, stared out of the city, and sighed secretly.

"He went to find General Yan, and Bai Gongzi wanted to break out with General Yan tomorrow to find food for everyone. I was also bored, so I came here alone, and I didn't expect to meet Brother Qin," Haitang replied

"Yan Feng won't let him go, this going is extremely dangerous, although with Brother Bai's skills to protect himself, Yan Feng also has more possibilities to rush out, but" Qin Wei thought about it, and finally couldn't speak.

"General Yan is afraid that if he takes away the combat power in the city, Suiyang will no longer have the power to protect himself, if Suiyang can't support them to return, even if he borrows more food, no matter how many soldiers he has, what is the use." Haitang sighed and continued in a low voice.

Hearing Haitang say this, it made Qin Wei slightly stunned, the weak woman behind him could actually see Yan Feng's intentions, it was really not easy, and he couldn't help but say, "Haitang girl is really extraordinary, she knows my marksmanship and is so insightful, she shouldn't be an ordinary Jianghu woman." Yan Feng also told me that there was a person in the Shocking Wind Village who was crushed by you and died, so I asked me to pay attention to Miss Begonia. However, along the way, Miss Begonia takes care of Brother Bai, and it should not be someone with other plans. ”

Haitang heard this, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, she didn't want to be an ordinary woman in the rivers and lakes, she could be happy and happy, and let her stay by Bai Yu's side for a long time, and she would be content in this life. However, she is exactly the kind of person Qin Wei said who "has other plans", which is the last thing she wants to admit.

"Begonia! You are here, General Yan won't let me go with me, I can't beg grandpa to sue grandma, you come and help me plead for mercy! , Eh, Brother Qin is also there", it turned out that it was Bai Yu who trotted all the way up to the city, and as soon as he finished speaking, his stomach gurgled for a while, and he immediately covered his stomach and laughed embarrassedly.

"I'm not going, Bai Gongzi should give up this idea" Haitang didn't get up, but replied with a gloomy face.

"Eh, begonia, how are you" Bai Yu was very excited, and when he saw Begonia like this, he was stunned

"Bai Gongzi, I'm tired, let's go rest first" Haitang said expressionlessly, then got up and walked gently past Bai Yu. But he didn't look at Bai Yu the whole time.

"Begonia, begonia?" Bai Yu looked at Qin Wei, who had been silent on the side, looking at Qin Wei outside the city, and felt very strange in his heart, but in the end, he still didn't chase Begonia, paced to Qin Wei's side, looked at the fire in the rebel camp in the distance, and muttered to himself

"That's it, I'll stay and guard Suiyang with Brother Qin, and when Yan Feng borrows food, we will kill out of the city and avenge Brother Yan!"

Hearing this, he couldn't help but clench the halberd in his hand and replied in a low voice

"County Lord, do you have to go with me?" Yan Feng looked at the county lord Ning Shu, who was already very weak and crying into tears, and his heart was mixed, this time Ning Shu said that if Yan Feng dared to leave herself, she would immediately jump off the city and commit suicide, forcing Yan Feng to agree to her request, however, considering the safety of the county lord, Taishou Zhang Xun actually selected a hundred elite armor soldiers from the defenders, wearing the best silver armor captured, and escorted Yan Feng Ning Shu and Nan Jiyun away, which made Suiyang, which was already defense-empty, even more stretched. Yan Feng wanted to refuse, but looking at Ning Shu in his arms, he remembered Yuhang Junshou's entrustment, and his heart was already full of amazement.

Early the next morning, the west gate of Suiyang City quietly opened, and out of it came out of a hundred and ten armor soldiers dressed in silver fine armor, and after killing all the rebel patrol teams with lightning speed, they quietly sneaked into the wilderness and forests west of the city.

Predict what will happen next, and see the next time.
