On August 9th, the weather was so hot that it seemed like a qiē on the ground was about to be roasted, and what was even worse was that Winter Frost City had not had any food supplies for nearly 4 days.

Lin Muyu's war horse has also been slaughtered, and even Min Yulin's own mount has been used as food, but it still to no avail, the remaining more than 20,000 soldiers have almost eaten up a qiē in the Winter Frost City, and the bark in the city has been stripped naked, and many soldiers dig three feet into the ground to look for earthworms, rats and other animals, and the entire Winter Frost City is dead silent.

With a rumbling in his stomach, Lin Muyu held the hilt of the Dragon Spirit Sword on his waist and walked on the city avenue step by step, seeing that the imperial army was sitting weakly on the side of the road as far as his eyes could see, and no one still had the strength to stand up and walk around, let alone daily training.

"Big brother..."

Qin Yan rushed over, wiped his chapped lips, and said, "Hurry up and go back to the camp, I made some delicious food, maybe I can fill my stomach a little." ”

"Oh?"

Lin Muyu returned to the camp with him, but saw that Shen Han was boiling a large cauldron, and a faint fragrance came from the pot, and he couldn't help but ask in amazement, "What is it? Didn't we eat everything two days ago?"

"Soon you'll know..."

After a while, Qin Yan lifted the lid of the pot, only to see pieces of black stuff tumbling in the boiling water, it was these things that emitted a faint fragrance, Lin Muyu couldn't help frowning, and said, "What is this?"

"Cowhide, cowhide out of the armor. Qin Yan said excitedly: "Although I am tired of cowhide, it will not invade by water and fire, but after boiling it in boiling water for an hour, it will loosen up like pigskin, it must taste good, big brother, sit down, I will serve you a bowl later, you just wait to enjoy the delicious meal..."

Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "I just need a little bit and give some more to my brothers, they have been hungry for many days." ”

"yes, I see. ”

A few minutes later, a bowl of soup was brought to Lin Muyu, there was a palm-sized cowhide floating on it, the cortex had been boiled, exuding a faint fragrance, the chopsticks were picked up and bitten, but it was as if biting a piece of hard paper, Lin Muyu frowned, no matter how much, quickly chewed it, and swallowed this piece of cowhide with a "goo-dong", I didn't know what it tasted like, but I still had something in my stomach.

At this moment, a herald shouted from outside the camp: "Archdeacon Lin Muyu of the temple camp, the prince has summoned all the generals to discuss it..."

"Got it, go right away. ”

"Good. ”

Lin Muyu stood up and told Qin Yan and Shen Han to put away the camp, and he went to the City Lord's Mansion, the generals in the City Lord's Mansion were all pale, even Min Yulin's complexion was not very good, his face was a little frightening, he was not like this when he was in Lanyan City.

"Generals. ”

Min Yulin slowly stood up with an iron spear, the prince's robe and armor on his body were a little wrinkled because he had sat for too long, he looked at everyone, and said lightly: "We...... Ready to go home. ”

A captain of Twilight City was stunned: "Prince, we are now surrounded by demons, how can we go home?"

Min Yulin smiled slightly and said: "Five days ago, General Chai Hong, the commander of the Tomahawk Battalion, had already led his generals to dig a tunnel under the wall in the east of the city, this tunnel is two miles long, completely beyond the encirclement of the demons, tonight we will retreat at night, and each battalion will gather the generals above the centurion to retreat together." ”

Lin Muyu's heart sank and asked, "What about ordinary soldiers?"

Min Yulin shook his head: "If there are too many people...... The demons will definitely find out, the generals above the centurion are the elite of the empire, we are not afraid of running out of firewood, and we can still recruit new soldiers after returning to Lanyan City, and after training, it will be a strong army, and it is not too late to avenge the soldiers who died in Winter Frost City. ”

Xu Ying nodded: "What the prince said is reasonable, and the battalions should do it immediately..."

Lin Muyu didn't say anything, so he hugged his fists and said, "Yes..."

......

Time passed bit by bit, at night, the starlight was dim, Lin Muyu took Qin Yan, Shen Han and a few centurion generals and more than a few centurions to the east of the city along the alley, along the way only saw the silent imperial soldiers sitting on both sides of the road, some of them had been dead for a long time, and they were starved to death, as for the tens of thousands of people in the Winter Frost City, they had already starved to death, and many families were robbed of the last rations by the imperial army, so they naturally couldn't live.

Qin Yan frowned and said, "The rest of the people, can only stay and wait for death?"

Shen Han sighed and didn't speak.

Lin Muyu said lightly: "Keep our useful bodies, and then avenge them, I didn't expect that the blood debt of the Yihe Kingdom would not be paid, and the demon clan would fall from the sky." ”

Qin Yan said: "Compared to the uprising and the country, the demon clan is probably more cruel, and they are still ...... Also cannibalistic ......"

Lin Muyu was silent.

The fire in front of him was swaying, but no one spoke, Min Yulin stood on the edge of the cave in a princely robe, and watched the officers of the tomahawk battalion enter, there were still seven or eight thousand people in the tomahawk battalion, so all the senior generals together also had seventy or eighty people, and after entering the cave in order, the veteran Xu Ying raised his hand and said: "Let's wait for Commander Chai Hong to find out the situation of the exit of the cave, and then protect the prince and retreat after it is safe." ”

Everyone clenched their fists in unison and lowered their voices: "Yes..."

......

However, after Chai Hong and the others entered the cave, they did not come out again, and after nearly an hour, Min Yulin frowned and said: "What's the matter, it took so long, Min Zhan, you go down and see the situation." ”

"Yes, father..."

Min Zhan pulled out his sword and jumped into the hole, but the next moment he turned over, dipped his leg in muddy water, and said, "Father, it's not good, it's all water..."

"What?" Min Yulin was shocked.

Seeing that the water at the entrance of the cave was about to be flush with the ground, and all the people who had entered the cave before must have drowned, Xu Ying's face was full of pain, and he said, "It's over...... This group of bastard demons must have discovered the hole in the ground, so they dug up the water from the tributaries of the Daojiang River and poured the water into the hole, and Chai Hong led him ......"

Everyone was silent, and the last of their life vanished again in an instant.

Min Yulin closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly under the starlight, his face was full of pain, he looked up at the sky, and said, "Why me Min Yulin......?"

"Father......" Min Zhan looked up at Min Yulin and asked, "Now, what should we do...... Everybody's out of proportion. ”

"Let's go back to the City Lord's Mansion......" Min Yulin said lightly: "We have cut off food and grass, 25,000 people can't hold on, prepare to open the city gate early tomorrow morning, and fight the demon clan to the death, maybe Wang Xi is right, instead of waiting here for death, but dying in a heroic battle, even if you kill one more armor demon, it is also a loyalty to the empire." ”

"Yes..."

Hundreds of high-ranking generals such as Min Zhan and Xu Ying have arrived, and only Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others are still here.

......

"Big brother, aren't we leaving?" Qin Yan asked in surprise.

Lin Muyu looked at the Daojiang water in the cave, his eyes were very clear, and he suddenly smiled bitterly and said, "Ah Yan, I have entered the homes of several fishermen before, and their homes have many fishing nets, you take a few people to find out these fishing nets." Lord Shen Han, you go to the Temple Camp and the Spirit Fire Division, and call all the people who still have a little strength, and let them explore and widen this tunnel, and bring in a large amount of Daojiang water. ”

Qin Yan and Shen Han's eyes lit up at the same time, and Qin Yan smiled: "Big brother is really smart, he actually knows how to calculate..."

"It's just an expedient measure, let's do it quickly..."

"Yes..."

Late at night, hundreds of people worked hard to dig together, and soon widened the tunnel mouth into a pond with a radius of hundreds of meters, and the bodies of Chai Hong and others gradually floated out, and all of them were buried on the spot under Lin Muyu's order, as expected, the water of the Daojiang River brought many fish, and Qin Yan's first net was thrown out and caught a fish weighing at least three catties, winning the applause of a group of soldiers.

Shen Han and others also followed suit, fishing with fishing nets, and not long after, the temple camp caught at least a hundred catties of fish, and directly set up a large-mouth pot on the side, it didn't matter if the seasoning was exhausted, a pot of fragrant fish soup quickly came out of the pot, and everyone gathered around to share the food, in fact, everyone ate thirty percent full, but it was enough.

At midnight, nearly 100 catties of fish were caught, and under Lin Muyu's order, Qin Yan took these fish to Min Yulin.

It was also on this night that pieces of food suddenly fell from the sky, including wild boar legs, venison, and even dead hares and other prey.

The soldiers in Frost City cheered.

"These foods can't be eaten. ”

Lin Muyu looked at the sky and said firmly: "Ah Yan, pass the order, no one can eat anything that falls from the sky." ”

Qin Yan nodded: "Yes..."

Shen Han was puzzled: "Why, archdeacon......"

"How could a prey fall from the sky in a good way? It's the winged man of the demon race...... They know that we are hungry and want to poison us, so don't eat it. ”

"Yes......"

However, the Imperial soldiers in the city were already hungry and crazy, and they were still talking about whether it was poisonous or not, and many of them swallowed it knowing that it was poisonous, and they had to die as a starving ghost, but they were not disappointed, and all those who ate the airdropped food were spared all the seven orifices bled to death.

......

In the early morning, there was silence in the office hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"How many people were poisoned in total?" Min Yulin asked lightly.

"3000 people. Xu Ying said.

Min Yulin showed a look of pain and said, "The cunning demon clan is really too cunning...... Come on, go and cooperate with Lord Lin Muyu to widen the water source of the Daojiang River, catch as many fish as possible to satisfy your stomach, and don't let people starve to death again. ”

At this time, a Nanami City officer in the crowd wearing the rank of Captain of Ten Thousand Masters clenched his fists and said, "Prince, there is a way for your subordinates. ”

"General Shi Huo, please speak. ”

Shi Huo's expression was cold, and he said, "The soldiers who just died, their corpses ......"

"Shut up..."

Min Yulin took the case and said angrily: "I, Min Yulin, would rather starve to death than eat people..."

Shi Huo was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and said, "Yes, the prince is wise, just don't say it as a subordinate......"
