What they saw in front of them made the soldiers of all countries can't help but show despair, what are they fighting for with all their might?

But now the situation of the ancient Yan country surprised them, it was completely different from what they imagined, the plague was even more powerful than their country.

The purpose of invading Gu Yan was to snatch food so that his country and his family could survive.

Not to mention the grain, they didn't even look at the millet pole, there were corpses everywhere they looked, they didn't dare to rely on it for too long, and they covered their mouths and noses tightly, and at this moment there was no way out, if they wanted to find food, they could only look for the trajectory of the living and go forward, and only go forward Their remaining food was no longer enough to sustain them to go back.

From the beginning of the war, the four border cities of Gu Yan in the southeast, south, and northwest to defend against foreign enemies were all broken, and the enemy troops in the frenzy swarmed in.

The people who got the news in advance panicked and instinctively followed the remnants of the defeated army to flee to the nearest city or the most central direction of power.

At this moment, a large number of refugees, even though they were suffering from illness and hunger, still used all their strength to escape from the border city, and then scattered like headless flies.

As long as there is a way, you can't stay where you are anyway, and the end is only a dead end.

The Wing City broken by the Northern Tartar Beicang Kingdom is only one state away from the middle of Lingyun Prefecture where Huajin is located, and even according to the curve, the distance is less than two thousand miles.

At this moment, the surviving people in Lingyun Prefecture had no idea that it would not be long before a large number of refugees would flock to it.

At this moment, the survivors are rejoicing that they have not only survived the plague, escaped a hurdle, but also harvested food, and are imagining that there is hope for the future.

One month later, Crescent City.

I thought it would take more than a month to mature the grain, but because of the weather, all of them were ripe, which made the children of Da Liu Gouzi happy and wanted to grow in the ground.

Although I was very tired during the harvest, I still enjoyed it from morning to night, using the farm tools left by my benefactor's big brother to harvest all the grain in and out of nearly three acres of land in and out of the courtyard for five days, and spent two days to dry.

Looking at the yellow millet rice, the golden wheat grains, the sweet sweet potatoes, and the soft and glutinous potatoes, the next few days were the few days when they could eat enough in the past few years, and they laughed out loud in their dreams at night.

As the grain dries and is stored, the day the children open their eyes when they want to plant another crop of grain, they feel extremely hot, even if they stay in the room and do not move, they are sweating, and they can still persist in the shade outside.

I didn't need to be dizzy in the sun for half an hour, and I couldn't hold on to it before I planted it, and finally went back to the house, so the hot temperature also made Da Liu Gouzi and them temporarily rest the idea of sowing seeds during the day.

What they were most afraid of was that they were riddled with illness and did not dare to gamble.

And Yunzhou, which was suffering from the fierce attack of the Northern Tartars, was even more because of the sudden high temperature, which made the Northern Tartar army, which was not very patient and irritable, even more ferocious, and the attack was even more ferocious, and the high temperature above their heads was like a fierce fire that made them unable to bear it, and they just wanted to capture Yunzhou quickly.

The rushing car kept banging on the city gate, and under the cover of the rain of arrows, the ladder was full of soldiers and attacked.

Yunzhou's already small number of troops to protect the city for half a month is already the limit, and the generals defending the city looked at the soldiers who were desperately defending the city and smiled bitterly.

In any case, it was enough to buy half a month for the people who fled with Yicheng, and they were worthy of the people of Yicheng in Yunzhou.

Looking at the soldiers who kept falling and people were constantly making up, their faces were flushed with the sun, their clothes were soaked with sweat, and even some of them were crumbling but still gritted their teeth and insisted on being substituted, even if the next moment was death, they were not afraid, and the generals couldn't bear it.

City...... They could not hold on, and there was not enough food to last them for three days.

Seeing the soldiers who had been fighting with him for half a month, some of them were still protecting the people all the way to this point, knowing that it was a certain death, they still followed them to defend Yuncheng, and they were all good.

Can...... Can you really bear to let your brothers die with him?

Sun Tan couldn't bear it, cut down a few Tartar troops who tried to climb the city wall, a determined light flashed in his eyes that were stained red with blood, and he immediately shouted: "Soldiers, hold on, you must hold on, think about the family members behind us, they only have us, build their hope of survival with our flesh and blood, no matter what, we can't let them attack today." ”

While doing the war, Sun Tan shouted loudly in a hoarse voice, this is the reverse scale, thinking that their insistence is for the family to survive, the soldiers who were crumbling seemed to be suddenly injected with a divine power, one by one, stones, logs smashed into the northern Tartars on the ladder, the weapons in their hands waved, and they protected the city wall with their lives again and again, and the others immediately made up for the fall of one person, in short, they had to defend it even if they died.

In this way, from the early morning to noon, although the Northern Tartar army wanted to break through Yuncheng for several hours, it was really too hot, and there seemed to be a huge fireball hanging in the sky, which kept scorching people, and even the sweat was about to run out.

If you don't retreat, you can't do it, there are many soldiers who did not die from the resistance of the Yuncheng soldiers, but were stunned by the scorching sun.

As the horn of the enemy's retreat sounded, the Yuncheng soldiers, who were already at the end of the crossbow, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and all the soldiers who left the guard went down the city wall under the orders of Sun Tan and others.

At the first time of going down to the city tower, almost everyone rushed to the dozens of large vat placed in the corner of the wall, a bowl of cold water to the stomach, only to feel alive, and then a bowl of wild vegetable porridge for one person, exhausted they found a cool place to sit on the ground and rest on the spot.

Looking at these exhausted and scarred soldiers, Sun Tan silently drank the bowl of wild vegetable porridge that belonged to him.

In two days, they will not be able to drink the porridge with wild vegetables, and once they have nothing to eat, it means that they have no strength, and how can they resist the barbaric Northern Tartars.

With a bowl of wild vegetable porridge in his stomach, Sun Tan's eyes became more and more determined.

Although he was ready to die on the battlefield on the day he became a soldier, defending the country and protecting the people was also his lifelong belief, but now Yuncheng is also an empty city, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great, and it is the limit to be able to hold on until now, and the outcome has long been predicted.

Thinking of sending out letters asking for help like a stone sinking into the sea, and then thinking of the current situation of Gu Yan, Sun Tan didn't understand, I am afraid that now Gu Yan's current saints are also difficult to protect themselves, and they can't take care of these soldiers who protect the country with their lives.

The green mountains left behind, not afraid of no firewood, for an empty city, lost the lives of thousands of soldiers, he ...... Can't do it.

It's better to keep your life and continue to guard the living, and you can always block the people of Yunzhou in Yicheng who escaped.

Immediately, Sun Tan stood up, and "Zhao Gao" shouted.

"Command to go down, rest for two hours, and after two hours, the army will all withdraw from the south gate."

The previous big battle was extremely costly for both sides, and they had a one-night buffer.

"General...... What do you mean? ”

"Yes, as you think, the destruction of the city is an established fact, I can't watch you soldiers just lose their lives and do what I say."
