Chapter 53: I'd rather die of war than starvation

readx;

Buchen did what he said, and after dinner in the evening of the same day, he took a few of his partners out of the Hushan Military Port, and quickly followed the official road to Zhenxi Fucheng. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo

Don't worry about the safety of Buchen's way, not to mention that the nearby states and counties have already surrendered to him, and the strength of himself and his partners alone is enough to make the guys who plan to intercept him halfway unable to eat and walk away!

Not to mention it, let's just talk about the city in the far north of the Eastern Continent - Selangor, which has long been an isolated city.

At this time, the Orc Coalition has been besieging the city for more than four months, and in these four months, the soldiers and civilians of Selangor City have been fighting to the death with their relatives and the Orc Coalition in order to defend their homeland, but because the difference in individual strength is too great, and the equipment is too dilapidated, even if they rely on the condescending advantage of defending the city, the exchange ratio between the Selangor army and the Orc Coalition Army has still reached two to one, that is, the Selangor soldiers and civilians can replace an Orc barbarian for every two lives.

Although for such an exchange, the orc coalition is also a little painful, after all, the population of the orc is extremely scarce, and it can only be replenished after more than ten years of death, but Selangor is a small frontier city after all, and the population is very limited, as long as the orc coalition is ruthless, it will not be a problem to eat it! And the current leader of the Beast Clan Alliance, Gong Deduchi, has no shortage of such determination!

……

Lu Jian stood at the head of Selangor City, staring blankly at the out-of-sight beast clan camp outside the city, he often stayed in the city for a long time during this time, and the soldiers and civilians on duty on the city wall were not surprised, sometimes if they were too bored, they would say hello to him, whenever this time, Lu Jian would turn his head a little stiffly and smile gently at them.

It's just that although Lu Jian's smile is gentle, it has not brought the slightest warmth to people's hearts, although Lu Jian has always had a stern and rigid look on his face in order to stabilize the morale of the army, but everyone is actually clear in their hearts that Lu Junmen is actually desperate!

Originally, the reinforcements and equipment that the world had promised to them Selangor people were all in vain with his fall outside the city, and the "King of the People" Wang Youcheng also vowed to send them reinforcements after seizing the Beijing Division, but the siege of the city for more than four months, the reinforcements of the "King of the People" are still missing, and today, no matter how naΓ―ve people are, they should understand that they are actually an outcast!

However, despite this, they will never surrender to the orcs! From the day of the siege, the envoys of the beast tribe have not been broken, and the conditions offered are more and more advantageous each time, from the whole city is not slaughtered, only the property is confiscated, and all men, women and children are slaves to as long as they surrender, the people of the whole city are registered as beasts, and enjoy the same treatment as the people of the beast tribe.

From the huge changes in conditions, it can be seen that in the face of the siege war that took a long time and suffered heavy casualties, Gong Deduchi, the leader of the Beast Alliance, was also tired of it. It's just that as the people of Donghua Shangguo, the people of Selangor, who are bright and bright, will be the genus of birds and beasts from now on? Speaking orc, keeping orcs hairstyle, following orc habits or something, even if they die, they will never want to!

However, even the longest war has come to an end, and after more than four months of siege, the siege of Selangor has come to an end.

There is no food in Selangor!

Natural disasters have been repeating the year, and even the grain production in the hinterland of the eastern country, where the climate is warm and the land is fertile, has been greatly reduced, not to mention the bitter cold land of Selangor, which is in the north! It can be said that the people of Selangor have created a miracle to be able to hold on to the lonely city for four months when the food reserves are not abundant!

It's just that all Selangor people know what a huge price they have paid to create this miracle!

The fact is that Selangor was able to hold on for so long is not because of the superiority of Lu Jian's wartime rationing system, nor because the people of Selangor are particularly hungry, but because they have traded the blood and lives of countless people, and it is their successive death on the battlefield that has allowed the not abundant food reserves to last for so long!

However, in the case of losing the source, even if the population continues to decrease, there will always be a time when the limited food will be eaten! Right now, there is only half a day's food left in Selangor! At most, after dealing with today, tomorrow the whole city will starve!

"I can't hold it anymore!"

After a long time, Lu Jian shook his head and sighed lightly.

The soldiers standing behind him all lowered their heads, and they could hear how much helplessness there was in Lu Jian's sigh.

"Junmen, if we don't keep it, where should we go?" One of the pro-soldiers couldn't help but ask.

Lu Jian glanced back at the pro-soldier, smiled, and asked, "Gong Dedu's conditions are good, should we agree?" ”

"Junmen, don't do it!" The soldier shouted almost without thinking.

The other pro-soldiers also echoed, and even their eyes were red, and they have been defending to this day, which of them has no relatives in their family who died in this war? And the orcs eat people as military food, and the people in several cities outside Selangor and around the city have been eaten up by these beasts, and when you look out of the city, you can see the mountains of bones of human beings abandoned by the orcs, not to mention their own hatred for the beasts, just with this blood debt, they can't pass the hurdle in their hearts!

"You're right! We can't surrender! Lu Jian restrained his smile, his face was like iron, and he said loudly: "Surrendering the beast captives is not only a betrayal of the empire, but also a betrayal of the thousands of people in the east who have been mutilated by the beasts!" Therefore, even if we only have one soldier left, we will fight the beast captives to the end! ”

The pro-soldiers nodded again and again by Lu Jian's words, and the pro-soldier who asked the question at the beginning said excitedly: "Junmen, say it!" What are we going to do? We all listen to you! ”

Lu Jian frowned, and was silent for a long time before saying, "You can't keep it!" We are already outcasts, and there is no point in holding on to it without hope! And we have blocked Gongde Duchi here for more than four months, which is enough to be worthy of the East Kingdom! It's time to think about it for ourselves! ”

At this time, when the voice was heard, the surrounding soldiers and civilians also gathered around, and when they heard Lu Jian's words, they all shouted loudly!

Lu Jian smiled gently at them as usual, and asked in a raised voice, "If you can choose a way to die for yourself, which one do you want to choose?" ”

Faced with this question, people couldn't help but look at each other, and it took a long time for someone to weakly answer: "Back to the army, I don't want to be eaten alive by beasts!" ”

Hearing this, everyone present burst out laughing.

Lu Jian also smiled, nodded approvingly at the man, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

This time people were much more active, and someone shouted, "I don't want to be starved to death!" ”

"Hmm." After getting the answer he wanted, Lu Jian straightened his face again and said to everyone present: "It is impossible for us to surrender to the beast captive, but if we continue to defend to the death, we will only starve to death!" I'm a vulgar martial artist, I don't know a lot, unlike the scholars, I don't have anything high in my stomach, but I admit a reason in my life! People should not be starved to death! If I had a choice, I would rather die on the battlefield! ”

Hearing Lu Jian's words, the blood in people's hearts became hot again, and their expressions returned to vividness, and they shouted impassionedly:

"The military gate is right! I don't want to starve to death like a sloppy dog! ”

"My whole family has fought with the beasts, and I'm the only one left, and I don't have any taste in life, just fight! If you fight to die, you won't lose, if you can kill two, you can earn it! ”

"We starve to death and have no loss to the orcs, if we go to fight, it can cause them losses, in that case, why don't we fight?!"

"That's right! And if you want to fight, you have to fight early, if everyone is hungry and can't lift the knife and gun, even if you want to fight, you can't fight! ”

Seeing that the army's heart was available, Lu Jian nodded with satisfaction and announced loudly: "Let's go out of the city tomorrow for a decisive battle!" There's just death! ”

"No! We will follow the end of the army!! ”

All the soldiers and civilians present responded to Lu Jian's promise.

Lu Jian didn't say anything more, just cast his eyes on the lead-gray sky, and said silently in his heart: "Brother Buchen, you go first, I admire my brother very much!" Now that my brother is coming, I hope you can bless my brother in the spirit of heaven and kill a few more beasts! ”

At this time, Buchen, who was sharpening in an inn thousands of miles away, suddenly sneezed, and some ominous premonitions appeared in his heart, and he couldn't help but say:

"What's going on?"
