In summer, whether it is outside the city of Chaoge or the grassland of the Rong people, it is full of flowers and full of vitality. The offensive of the Endless and Kui Rong coalition forces had long passed the climax, and waves of cavalry reluctantly retreated again and again in the face of the iron-clad wall of Chaoge City and the rain of arrows of the guards. The corpses under the walls had been built several layers.

The grassland peoples live by water, and they have never had the determination to fight a protracted war. In such a situation, he finally lost the heart of attacking, and only arranged the camp tent densely outside the city wall of Chaoge, and surrounded it with three layers inside and three layers outside, hoping to trap and starve the enemy to death. The war is in a stalemate.

But shepherds are busiest at the moment. Rong Di has always fought with cavalry regiments and cattle and sheep regiments, one for combat strength and the other for military rations. The morning songs of early summer are similar to the grasslands, with layers of "mist" chasing their cattle and sheep. This is the army of mosquitoes, countless mosquitoes fly up and cover the sky, and from a distance it looks like a faint mist. People can also hide in tents, cattle, sheep and horses can only stand up, and even cattle and sheep will be bitten to death. The herders had to use cow dung to light the herbs to drive them away, and they survived the summer in torment.

At this time, outside the Chaoge City, both the herdsmen of Wuwan and Kuirong were doing the same thing, but they had to work harder than before. Because the population and herd of the expedition are dwindling day by day, the hungry mosquitoes are swarming and almost sucking the blood of cattle and sheep dry.

The shepherds are grieving and complaining, but they don't know that the real disaster is yet to come------

Out of nowhere, there was a strange sound of a bone flute, with a long, strange tone, which, even if heard in the daytime, could give people goosebumps. Before the sound of the bone flute was gone, there was another "buzzing" sound from far and near, getting closer and closer------

The frightened people looked up to the sky, and suddenly saw a cloud of black clouds covering the sky and covering the sun in the northeast of Chaoge------ what was that? The sky was cloudless, the sun was scorching, and it didn't look like it was raining. And the black clouds were moving fast, with a "buzzing" sound that shook the eardrums, as if it was the sound of thousands of insects flapping their wings together.

"No, it's locusts! So much? It's an army of flying locusts! A shepherd cried out in horror. Whether it was outside the city or inside the city, all the people hid in tents in panic, and inside the corner tower, they really found a broken burlap bag to wrap themselves.

Millions of locusts obscured the sky, and for a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and no one could see the sun, even though it was still high above the clear sky. The sound of locusts flapping their wings was so close that it almost broke people's eardrums------ and it hit the tent cloth like a torrential rain on the roof tiles of Chaoge. It's a carnival of locusts, gnawing at everything the naked eye can see------

All the trees in Asagajo were gnawed to the point that there was not a single leaf left, but fortunately, the grain was already stored, and the loss was slightly lighter. But the Rong people outside the city are miserable. Although Childe and Shijiao have cut down all the big trees, there are still a lot of low bushes and new grass seedlings growing in the spring, which were originally the ingredients of cattle and sheep, but now they are all gone.

The army of flying locusts entrenched in the Chaoge area for less than a day, flapping its wings and flying away, leaving only a mess------

The Endless King in the tent had been lying for several days in a row, and every day he was reincarnated between sobering up and getting drunk, and occasionally fooling around with the women who had been sacrificed by the Kui slaves when he was awake. When the eldest prince was summoned, as soon as he entered the tent, he saw an unsightly and obscene scene. Zhi Yu forcibly endured disgust and saluted his father: "Father, the child has been ordered to come to see you. ”

The king of the end put his arms around the two women one by one, and told the rest of the women to pour wine for their sons. The women laughed coquettishly and brought the wine glasses to Zhiyu's eyes, and he slapped them away. He said to King Wuzhong with a straight face: "Since the child was specially invited to come to discuss, it must be a military matter, and it is not good for these subordinates to hear it." ”

The King of Nothing reluctantly pushed the women around him away and waved them back. Then he put on his clothes and asked his son in a confused voice, "How is it going outside?" Do the cows and sheep have anything to eat? ”

Zhi Yu replied in a mocking tone: "What are you afraid of when the cattle and sheep starve to death, the king just asks King Kui Rong to solve it." ”

When the King of the Endless Ending heard this, his face changed, and he scolded: "Bastard, it's because you always contradict me that I didn't make you the crown prince." Looks like you're not improving at all! Pioneer was done by you in a hurry, how is it now? Isn't it the same that you can't conquer Chaoge? ”

Zhi Yu didn't dare to stiffen his mouth anymore when he heard it, so he listened to the nonsense that King Wuzhong nagged for a long time about Kui Nu asking the heavens and saying that the Central Plains would be conquered within a year or two. Finally, he couldn't bear to interrupt the king of the end and said, "Father, do you know the situation of our army now? ”

King Wuzhong glared at a pair of bull's eyes and said, "Lao Tzu is clear! King Kui Rong reports to me every day! ”

"Before the locusts came, the cattle and sheep were thin day by day due to the lack of adaptation to water and soil and the blood sucking by mosquitoes. Now the abominable locusts have eaten up all the grass, trees, leaves, and roots in the ten miles of Chaoge City, and the cattle and sheep have no food at all. The herdsmen had to herd them dozens of miles away from Chaoge to find food, and the roads were blocked, and they were often lost, or attacked by the guards, and often they were released and could not come back. Even if they can come back in three or five days, there will be few sheep left. Father, nearly half of my 100,000-strong army has been lost, and I can no longer afford to storm the city. It's better to withdraw without end! ”

He was still kneeling and listening to his father's answer, but when he saw King Wuxuan staring at the tent in a daze, he began to daydream of sending an envoy to surrender: "Capture the song of the court, and destroy the country first." Let the king of Zhou in Hojing personally pay the tribute, as well as the women and craftsmen of the Central Plains, if you want a lot, even if you send it over, you will not die! ”

Zhi Yu sighed, turned around and walked out of the big tent, but he heard the King of Endless Ending shouting behind him: "You join forces with King Kui Rong, you must attack the head of Chaoge City!" Otherwise, I'll pass the throne to Kui Nu!" Anyway, he's my son too. Hahaha------"

When Zhi Yu heard this last sentence, he clenched his waist scabbard with hatred. He squeezed so hard that he almost crushed the scabbard------

The plight of the Rong people has long been known to Chaoge. Seeing that the herds of cattle and sheep roaming around the tent are becoming scarcer and scarcer, how can we not know the plight of the enemy? Kui Duoyou advocated the immediate removal of the masonry barrier outside the city gate, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, and completely drive the enemy back to the grassland. However, Shijiao advocates that it is still necessary to hold on and wait for help, anyway, the grain and grass in the city can still support more than half a month, counting the days, and the rescue is almost here, so why take the risk?

The two parties are at loggerheads, and it is difficult for Childe and Mrs. Yu to decide. Should you stick to the rescue or take the initiative? Which side is right? In the stalemate day by day, the Rong people began the final counterattack------

The skies are darkest before dawn, and the enemy is the most ferocious in their counterattack before they are destroyed. The city wall of Chaoge instantly turned into a hellish Shura field, and the battle between life and death was only a thin line.

The soldiers brandished their full moon scimitars, their red-eyed eyes rounded, and climbed the long ladder bound with vines and lengthened. Kill! The rain of arrows overhead has weakened, and the cattle and sheep in the camp have been decreasing day by day. So what are you waiting for? Rush up!

The soldiers and civilians defending the city were also red-eyed. The food and grass in the city was almost exhausted, and Kaesong surrendered and had no choice but to accept the slaughter. Left and right is a death, it is better to fight to the death with the enemy soldiers, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one. Fight!

After a flesh-and-blood battle, the Chaoge City Wall seemed to become a huge meat grinder, and countless fresh lives and youthful bodies were thrown into it, turning into countless flesh and blood blurred and fragmented corpses. Under the fierce burning banner, the blood above and below the city was scorched by the heat, and the blood on the ground reached the ankles------

Wei He's armor was soaked with splashes of blood, and there were already several knife cuts on his arms and legs, but he didn't feel the pain. He and Kui Duoyou looked back to back, looking at the sand dunes in the distance outside the city, and asked abruptly, "Brother Duoyou, are we going to die here?" When will the reinforcements arrive? ”

Kui Duoyou's amber eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and he replied: "Childe, we are all descendants of the Wei family, and in order to protect the ancestors and society, we should also do our part when we die." What is there to fear? ”

"Yes, Wei He has been taught." The two of them broke off their snorts, and once again slaughtered into the tide of enemy troops pouring into the city.

Under the city wall, Kui Nu and Zhi Yu stood side by side, nervously watching the battle on the city wall. Every hour that passed, the troops led by a commander were put in, and the Kui Rong and the Endless Forces took turns to attack. This time, the two who have never been on good terms have a rare cooperation. Because the King of Endless Perfection has gone mad, if he doesn't take Chaoge City today, the two of them will definitely be killed.

It was a matter of life and death, and all the attention was on the city wall of Chaoge, and no one noticed that the base camp behind him was already in danger------

A mysterious squad was making their way through the empty camp of the Rong people, their clothes were mostly woolen white jerseys, which had already turned hazel after a long wave, but they blended in with the color of the tent. They carried swords at their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and earthen jars in their hands.

Whenever they approached a tent, they opened the lid of the jar and poured out a black, oily liquid from it and let it run around. When the matter was finished, there was a sudden whistle, and they were unified, quickly exited the camp, and quickly drilled out of the wooden fence and drove away.

As the sun sets, everything that shines on the earth is stained with a layer of blood. Kui Nu only felt that the ground under his feet was trembling, and the mount under his crotch was frightened, and when he looked back, he suddenly exclaimed: "There is an enemy horse!" ”
