Chapter 816: The Battle Must Be Fought and the Meal Must Be Eaten!
(PS: Report!The tanuki has now returned to the cat nest, and it will be updated as usual in the future ^-^)
At noon, as the western city gate was completely controlled and the other three city gates were closed one after another, after the extremely violent uproar, this northern trading city slowly calmed down again.
Not absolute silence, of course. There were still large groups of soldiers running through the streets and alleys, and from time to time there were faint shouts of anger, clashing of blades, and even terrible screams......
The defense of the mountains and seas was so light that it was quickly destroyed and crushed by the gray-clothed army, which was really unexpected by everyone. As a result, naturally, there were Bran soldiers who did not have time to withdraw from the city. And with the Grey Army taking over the city in an all-round way, now they are like rats burrowing into bellows, unable to advance or retreat, fleeing in a hurry, and it is a matter of time before they are besieged and killed.
Moreover, although the current Shanhai City has gradually quieted down, the atmosphere floating in the city is becoming more and more calm and depressing, as if you can grab a handful of them out of thin air, and you can grab countless negative thoughts from behind the cracks in the doors and windows, panic, fear, and tremble...... It's like a mountain pressing on the back, and it's hard to breathe!
The visions in the city a few days ago had led to some speculation in the minds of the citizens that there was probably a war going on here. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the seemingly majestic and impregnable mountain and sea city defense was so vulnerable! As soon as they heard the roar of Thor's hammer from the city wall, the west gate of the city had already been broken......
Immediately, I listened to the shouts and screams close at the door, the cruel friction of the knife into the flesh, and the sound of blood splattering wantonly...... In an instant, the citizens of the city were like falling into an ice cellar, and their bodies were cold. Gritted his teeth and trembled. In the past, I only heard various rumors of a city massacre from the alleyway liquor shops and limited channels. It becomes so clear and real. At your fingertips!
There are also those who are bold, holding iron rods, kitchen knives and other various self-defense weapons, slightly opening the gaps in the curtains, and looking at the fierce battles that appear on the street from time to time. Needless to say, one side dressed in standard armor is naturally a Bran soldier. In addition, most of the soldiers in mixed and matched shapes are not recognizable to them, but when they see that they are not northern barbarians with big shoulders and round waists, they can't help but relax a little. But then I thought that it might be a cruel thief or bandit, and I couldn't help but raise my heart to my throat again...... After all. There is really not much difference between the two for ordinary citizens.
The Bran soldiers, who had high hopes, were still so uncompromising, mostly running, running aimlessly, like headless flies. After being surrounded, he barely turned around to fight, and he was hacked to death on the spot after a short while, and some even threw away their weapons and raised their hands to surrender, but this cowardly move could not save their lives, and they soon fell in a pool of blood......
Comparatively speaking, the soldiers who came out of nowhere were much more heroic and cruel. Under their knives. There were no captives at all, and there were no living mouths. Fought to the end. often holding a bloody head to the sky and roaring, like crying and laughing, it seems that it can't help but be creepy!
It's over...... Sure enough, it's a bandit......
Under the frightened onlookers of all the citizens, Shanhai City finally gradually regained its original quietness, and basically no sound of infiltration could be heard. Immediately, the brigade of 'bandits and bandits' came under their noses and occupied every street, alley, and even every corner of the city!
This move undoubtedly deepened the panic in the hearts of the people, you see, the other party has scattered to prepare, and the next step should be Quan, Mian, Tu, and Cheng......
Silence, silence, dead silence!
It seems that even the air has become viscous and thin, and the trivial breathing that the atmosphere does not dare to breathe is unusually short. Faintly, as if there was a crying and whimpering sound coming from afar, ethereal and faint. A large, ethereal atmosphere of mourning hung over the city, like a thick dark cloud, and there was no ray of hope in sight.
Behind the doors and windows, countless frightened and desperate eyes stared at the streets outside, their brains were blank, and the thoughts of fear and resistance were fiercely intertwined all the time, but in the end, the people who were cold physically and mentally, and their limbs were stiff, could only wait for the cruel butcher's knife to come......
However, the next moment, those 'bandits and bandits' who were in the focus of their eyes suddenly sat on the ground on the side of the street, shouting to their companions and laughing. While reaching into his arms, he took out bread, rice balls, and other foods, and chewed them heavily. Grinning from time to time, looking satisfied and happy......
Battles have to be fought, and lunch has to be eaten!
A short moment later, the city was filled with the sound of chewing one after another. The food was cold and ordinary, so the aroma of the city could not waft through, but these 'bandits' seemed to be tasting some delicious food, and they seemed to be extremely happy and satisfied.
This strange and strange scene directly made countless snooping eyes dumbfounded. They couldn't figure out why there was only one door apart, but these 'bandits and bandits' would rather sit on the ground than force their way in. To put it mildly, even if it's not for money and beautiful women, you can find better food than their hands when you come in......
Swallowing their saliva, the fearful people realized that before they knew it, it was indeed time for lunch......
......
Tsk, it's worthy of being in the city! Hang out a tin sheet with flowers, it's really beautiful...... Looking at the exquisite signboards of the shops not far in front of him, Erniu is now in a very good mood, or rather very happy. It's not just that you just won the battle and survived.
The name Erniu is not a so-called nickname, but a real name. Erniu's background is extremely poor, and it is a bit of praise to say that he is a poor person. In that ignorant and backward mountain farm, my father, who had never been out of the mountains in his life, took it for granted that the life of the old cow was the strongest and the best to feed, so the second cow in the family had such a name.
For this name, Erniu has never felt dissatisfied, especially after seeing the names of the two dogs and two cats of the same age in the same village, he sincerely feels that his father is really educated, and he has always been proud of such a domineering name.
Erniu himself did not live up to this name, he is the child king, but he is a little distressed, his food is also amazing, and the harvest of two acres of thin fields at home cannot supply his hungry stomach at all. Therefore, when he grew up a little, Erniu made the biggest decision in his life after meditating on it - to go out of the mountains, not to drag down his family, and to find food by himself.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny. The scope of the mountain was far beyond Erniu's expectations, and after eating his own rice balls and not touching any wild things, he could only take a qiē flower and grass in the barren mountains to satisfy his hunger, and finally fainted on the side of an unknown hill.
I thought I was going to die, but who would have thought that when I woke up, what appeared in front of me was a bowl of hot noodle soup.
Then Erniu knew that the place he was in was called Dawning City, a territory called the Gray Army, and the person who saved him was a Scout of the Gray Army. Oh, that's not important, the important thing is that after Erniu finished eating that bowl of delicious noodle soup, the unique cunning of the mountain people immediately made him make up his mind that he must stay here with a dead face. Well, keep eating the noodle soup......
This stay is two years, one year in Dawning City, and one year in a barren place deep in the depths of the 100,000 mountains.
Erniu became a Grey Soldier, oh, now a squad leader. But it doesn't matter either, the people in the mountains are cunning and cunning, but they are also kind. Since you give me food, then I will work for you, fair and correct logic! The important thing is that Erniu often eats noodle soup as he wishes. Although he later knew that there were many delicious things in this world, and noodle soup was just the most common one, Erniu still liked noodle soup the most, and he liked it for no reason......
It's just a pity that Erniu, who was sitting on the ground, carefully stretched the dough in his hand, and smacked his lips regretfully, there is no fire, no water and no wild vegetables here, so he can only eat dry, and can't make noodle soup...... A little regret was fleeting, and Erniu quickly became happy again, because thinking about the starving days in the barren mountains in the past year, it is already very good to be able to guarantee food now.
"Woo ......" sucked on his lips, and the thin and long noodles entered his mouth, chewed a few times and then fell into his stomach. Erniu squinted his eyes, feeling the taste similar to the noodle soup strips, and his face was full of enjoyment, and the exquisite shop not far in front of him instantly lost the charm just now......
