No one could stop the terrible violence that took place in the city. Okay, because no one has the strength to stop it. Or rather, no one wants to stop it, they are numb.

Many people may not be afraid of death, but they are afraid of starving to death, and if they have a choice, they would rather be hacked to death by Jiannu than starve to the bone and lie there waiting for death.

There is still a knife in his hand, since he doesn't want to starve to death so much, he can only kill others to eat.

The unarmed people and men became the food for the soldiers, and they, old and young, men and women, were cooked in the cauldron to the depravity of human nature.

The Liaodong army had a clear conscience, they did not monopolize those human flesh, but for each batch killed, they distributed some to the people and people who were still alive, and then the next day, they selected some strong ones from among them to kill.

The ironic conscience is the truest portrayal.

It is obviously unfair to criticize those soldiers, and I wonder if they still have a choice in such a desperate situation.

Life is precious, and taking the lives of others for your own life undoubtedly seems absurd, but it is so real, so painful and helpless.

Dalinghe City is already a Jedi, there is no way to escape, the Jin army dug deep trenches around Dalinghe City, and surrounded it by heavy troops, even a fly can't fly away, not to mention the big living people who are already hungry with their chests and backs. This will, even if the Jin army gives the soldiers and civilians in the city a way to live, I am afraid that no one will be able to get out of a mile.

Cannibalism has become the last and only choice for the defenders, and they can't help but do it, otherwise, they have only one way to surrender.

Of course, not everyone is willing to eat human flesh to live, and He Kegang is one of them. Although he is a deputy general, the second person in Daling Hanoi after Zu Dashou, he can only get some food at the beginning. When the food was also exhausted, he, like the soldiers, faced the dilemma of having no food. However, he still has a trace of the bottom line of being a man, he really can't be ruthless enough to attack those defenseless people, and then eat their meat to fill his stomach.

Human flesh can keep people alive or they can make people crazy.

He Kegang saw with his own eyes those soldiers frantically slaughtering the people, dissecting their bodies and throwing them into the cauldron of boiling water, at that moment, he was stunned. However, he did not even have the courage to stop the order, because he did not have food for these hungry soldiers.

Stop a group of soldiers who are so hungry that they have no reason and just want to live, and there is only one result, that is, they are killed by them, and then they are eaten.

Staying alive is the only thought of these soldiers, what general soldiers, what generals, all guerrillas, all fucking bullshit!

Since the beginning of cannibalism, the generals in the city have collectively lost their voices, and even Zu Dashou no longer appears in public, because they know that they can no longer stop the crazy behavior of the soldiers.

………

"What time is it today?"

"My lord, it's the fourteenth."

"Fourteenth? So, I've been fainting for two days... Ay. ”

He Kegang struggled to get up, half a bowl of horse broth gave his stomach some confidence, and his stomach was no longer so uncomfortable, although he was still weak, but it was much more dizzy than before.

After getting up, he pushed the half bowl of horse broth back into Guo Yue's hands, and said to Liu Yuying and Dou Mingde: "You have not eaten for a long time, this soup, divide it." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuying and Dou Mingde's faces suddenly felt a little sneering, you look at me, I look at you, as if they are very ashamed. The general Xiao Yongzuo buried his head even lower, lest He Kegang see his face.

"How?"

He Kegang thought that they were embarrassed to share this half bowl of soup, and they were about to open their mouths to persuade them, but they stopped alive, because he found that the faces of his subordinates were much more ruddy than his own.

He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he ordered Guo Yue in a commanding tone: "Drink the soup." ”

He knew that this child, like himself, had not eaten for many days, let alone eaten human flesh, since Liu Yuying and they didn't need it, let this child drink this soup. Even if it's really death, you have to make your stomach feel better.

"My lord, I'm not hungry, so let's eat." Guo Yue shook his head, but his throat was obviously swallowed. Holding back his hunger, he deliberately turned his face to look at Dou Mingde and them.

"Let you eat it, what, don't you listen to my orders?" He Kegang pretended to be angry, and without saying anything, he handed the bowl to Guo Yue's mouth and drank: "Drink it!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The obedience habit formed for a long time made Guo Yue not hesitate, besides, he was really hungry! When he opened his mouth, he drank it, and "Gurgling" was two large mouthfuls, and after drinking, he carefully pinched the horse meat in the bowl and put it into his mouth, and chewed it in a big gulp.

The taste of horse meat is really not good, it is not as good as beef and mutton, but at the moment it is the most delicious food in the world.

He Kegang just looked at it, and kept looking at the child to lick the bottom of the bowl clean, then he nodded with satisfaction, turned his eyes to look at Liu Yuying and the others, and said to them: "Help me up, I want to see Zu Shuai." ”

"Hey, good!"

Liu Yuying hurriedly stepped forward to help He Kegang up, and walked out of the tent step by step with Dou Mingde.

…………

Outside the tent, the ruined walls of the Daling River were greeted by the ruined Daling River walls, the demolished houses with empty shelves, and the hungry soldiers.

Seeing He Kegang come out, the soldiers' performance was very numb, they just sat there and didn't move, and many people didn't even look at the adjutant general. They just sat dumbfounded, with their spears, broadswords, or muskets by their side.

spears, and spearheads; The fire gun has become a burning stick.

Ignoring the soldiers, He Kegang could only sigh secretly, until now, the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels can be said to be wiped out in Dalinghe City. Rao is ancestor can only restrain his own family, and the other generals can only ask for more blessings.

In the city, there is fire and smoke everywhere, and the smell of the air is very strange, with the smell of meat and a burnt smell, making it difficult to tell what it smells like.

The distant sky is very blue, very blue, but it is difficult to relieve the depression and despair in the heart.

The sun overhead was big, big, but no one could feel the warmth of the sun.

The lonely city, the dead city, even if there are still people who are gasping, is already the Shura city of hell.

As far as the eye could see, there was not a single green in the city.

…………

He Kegang's defense area is in Beicheng, but when it comes to defense, there is actually no need to defend anything at all, because the Jin army outside the city didn't want to enter the city at all, they surrounded it outside.

Anyway, the people in the city have long run out of food, waiting for them to starve to death or surrender, and it is not cost-effective to attack the city without losing soldiers.

He Kegang felt very uncomfortable when he was supported by his subordinates and walked in the city, he saw the hungry and swollen people huddled on the ground and curled up in a ball more than once, and he also saw a woman holding her child tightly and hiding in a corner where she thought others could not see. Hearing the footsteps, she instantly became nervous, and looked out with her mouth wide open.

He turned his face away in pain, and his steps sped up, He Kegang didn't want the woman to be afraid anymore.

"Where is Zu Shuai?"

When he walked to Nancheng, he didn't see Zu Dashou and others, He Kegang was a little strange, so he asked Dou Mingde about them.

Dou Mingde pointed to the city and said, "When I came, I saw that Zu Shuai led the young general to the city wall. ”

"Oh."

He Kegang nodded and motioned to Dou Mingde for them to help themselves up to the city.

Along the way, from time to time, you can see piles of white bones piled together, most of them are human corpses, He Kegang knows that these white bones that have been removed from the flesh are used as firewood.

At first, the wood of the house was torn down to burn, but gradually there was no wood to burn, and it was impossible to go outside the city to cut down trees, so the bones of the dead could only be picked up and burned. Otherwise, the living will have to eat raw meat.
