"Woo......"

A low horn sounded, and the northern barbarians under the southern city gate once again receded like a tide.

The defenders of the city, who were still holding swords and guns to kill the enemy bravely a moment ago, collapsed to the ground weakly in an instant.

As soon as the drums on the city wall stopped, the people of Jintianfu, who had been waiting under the city for a long time, rushed to the head of the city with bamboo baskets to comfort the soldiers guarding the city.

The bamboo basket is not a good wine or food.

Boiled hot eggs simmered in cotton cloth, coarse sorghum rice wotou, and coarse steamed buns with wheat husks on them...... I don't smell the slightest bit of meat.

But these are already the best food that these poor people can come up with.

They themselves are reluctant to eat.

The soldiers who collapsed on the ground took the food handed by the people and gnawed on it.

They are tired.

They were so tired that they didn't want to eat at all, they just wanted to find a bed and sleep for three days and three nights.

But the Northern Barbarians will not give them time to rest.

If you don't eat it now, when the Northern Barbarians come up, you won't have to eat......

If you're unlucky, you'll have to go on the road with an empty belly.

The ordinary people who came to labor the army, looking at the unkempt and gobbling up the city guards, many of them had wet eyes.

What a good offspring......

The northern barbarians who have suffered from the plague, why do they have to fight you to the death?

Everybody's alive, isn't it?

......

Zhang Chu took a large pot of water sent by the Xuanwu Hall armor soldier, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Every round of siege was a torture for him.

His brain is filled with brains, not integrated circuits for computers!

But he's using his brain as a computer!

Every time the Northern Barbarians attacked the city, he had to collect and process the battlefield information of each city gate as meticulously as possible.

Mental overdraft is more uncomfortable than physical overdraft.

But he couldn't help it.

The life and death of more than 100,000 people in Jintian Mansion are all tied to his thoughts!

He can't afford to lose!

You can only stretch it!

Now the state of affairs at the gates is very bad.

There is not much left of baggage reserves.

The soldiers who were the latest to join the city have also been holding on to the city for two days.

AllBright is approaching the limit step by step......

Any tactical negligence can lead to the destruction of the city!

......

He stood up and inspected the city surrounded by ten Xuanwu Hall armor soldiers.

The guards of the city, who had just filled their stomachs with some food, were already seizing the time to snuggle up to each other and take a nap.

Many of the soldiers saw him coming, and tried to stand up and salute him, but they were very difficult.

They were just too tired.

Zhang Chu waved his hand all the way, stopping the soldiers who wanted to stand up and salute him, and walked all the way north along the aisle.

He saw faces that were tired to the point of numbness.

He saw a long knife that had been curled.

He wanted to get these soldiers out of the city so that they could get a good night's sleep.

These soldiers are the last blood of 13,000 people.

Each one is a veteran.

Each one is elite.

But they are now exhausted.

If it continues to be consumed, it is not as good as those recruits.

Taking veterans and elites and filling them into this low-intensity war of attrition is definitely what a qualified general should do.

Just give these soldiers one night.

Let them sleep peacefully for one night, and they will be able to fight with the Northern Barbarians for another three days and three nights in good spirits!

But in Zhang Chu's hands, there is no reserve anymore......

His heart sank, and he continued to walk forward.

After inspecting a section of the city wall, he suddenly saw a soldier sitting in the aisle with a corpse in his eyes.

Beside him, food and water were placed.

He didn't move.

didn't seize the time to rest like other soldiers.

Zhang Chu couldn't see the desire for life, nor the fear of death, nor even the sadness from his face......

He sat in the aisle in a daze, staring unfocused at the cloudy sky outside the city.

The corpse in his arms had a dirty face, but it could be vaguely seen that he was very young, in his early twenties at most, and that there was a hideous bloody hole in his forehead, which should have been shot by an arrow.

His eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe that he would die here.

Perhaps everyone was born thinking that he was the protagonist of this world, until he realized that he was wrong, and he began to grow up.

This young soldier has no chance to grow up......

Zhang Chu lightened his steps, walked over slowly, bent down and gently closed the young soldier's eyes.

The soldier holding the corpse always looked sluggish, and he didn't seem to notice Zhang Chu.

"Who is he?"

Zhang Chu spoke.

The soldier holding the corpse finally came to his senses.

He raised his head and glanced at Zhang Chu, since he was not flattered in his eyes, he was not panicked.

"He's my brother. ”

He replied with a sigh.

Zhang Chu stared at his empty eyes, knowing that he was only afraid that he would have a will to live and die in his heart.

A person is no longer afraid of death, and naturally he is no longer afraid of power.

Zhang Chu sat down next to him and asked lightly in a casual tone, "Is there anyone else at home?"

"It's gone. ”

The soldier holding the corpse shook his head blankly, "My father is dead, my mother is dead, and I and my brother are left." ”

Zhang Chu was silent.

replaced him, but I'm afraid he doesn't want to live anymore.

After a long time, he whispered, "You can choose to die, it's not difficult." ”

"Later, the Northern Barbarian Miscellaneous will attack again, you can hold a Northern Barbarian Miscellaneous Piece, jump down from here, and when the battle is over, I will also find a piece of Feng Shui treasure land for you two brothers and bury your two brothers." ”

"You can also choose to live, take your father, your mother, and your brother to live well, no matter how hard it is, you can survive!"

"I know, it can be hard to ......"

"But you can eat for them good food they haven't eaten, drink good wine they haven't drunk for them, and live in big houses for them that they haven't lived in. ”

"If you can get ahead, you can also marry ten and eight aunts, give birth to twenty or thirty little kings and eight lambs, and pass on the bloodline of your father and mother to you and your brother, and continue to pass it on. ”

He spoke slowly to himself, and more and more soldiers opened their eyes and listened quietly.

"Brother, there is no one in your family anymore, if you don't have it anymore, no one in this world will remember your father, you and your brother. ”

"Only if you live, your family can continue......"

"That's what I'm talking about, how to choose, you think about it yourself!"

After saying that, he got up and gently patted the soldier on the shoulder, and continued to inspect the city.

However, before he could inspect the entire southern city wall, the low and distant trumpets of the northern barbarians had already been heard again.

"Woo......"
