Chapter 586: The Last Day
The former mansion of the Qiao family is now the temporary residence of King Jiang.
In the room, Jiang Mian took off his armor and stood in front of a yellowed and blurred bronze mirror, and saw himself in the mirror with a haggard, emaciated and long beard, the charcoal fire next to him was red, the lid of the kettle was steaming and trembling, and he picked up the kettle and poured water into the copper basin.
Pull out a sharp dagger and clean it in the hot water of the copper basin, and raise the knife to the neck......
Gently scrape the rustle, a pinch of dry beard slowly falls to the ground, and then put the knife in the water to wash and continue to scrape.
Rustle rustle......
The fire brings a touch of warmth to the old house under the haze.
Outside the door of the inner courtyard, Pan Hongzu held his sword and leaned on the door post in a daze as always, as if he had been getting more and more lazy recently and always wanted to find something to lean on, not far from him was Chenjia, who was meditating and chanting, and he was busy every day and had no time to shave his head, and his original bright head became a full head of short blue hair, and three thousand troubles grew again.
Chenjia turned her head to look at the old dark roof, showing sympathy.
"He wouldn't be tempted to kill himself, would he?"
"There's no need. Pan Hongzu God is saying.
"Why?"
"I'm going to die tomorrow anyway, so why bother today. ”
"Uh......"
Today, it is rare that the Chibi people did not attack the city, the Yuecheng soldiers and civilians breathed a sigh of relief, and then it didn't take long to see several huge catapults in the Chibi army outside the city.
Jiang Mian took a look and understood that today Chibi was accumulating strength, waiting to break the city in one fell swoop tomorrow.
After leaving the city walls, he returned to the mansion and began to bathe and shave, and he would die tomorrow, but he hoped that he could die in battle instead of surrendering and beheading in disgrace, even if he died, he would die vigorously.
Yue Cheng's crying was suppressed under his calm appearance, no one took advantage of the chaos to make trouble, he was too hungry, and he was so hungry that he was weak.
The granary sent the last remaining grain to the vicinity of the city wall, so that the scarred and hungry soldiers could eat the last few full meals, and only after they had eaten enough would they have the strength to fight tomorrow.
Pan Hongzu, who was leaning on the doorpost in a daze, suddenly felt something in his heart and looked in the direction of the Southern Wilderness, saw a ray of sunshine in the sky, smiled and muttered to himself......
"It's almost ......"
In the distance, dozens of large and small ships sailed at high speed.
In the cabin, the snake demon soldiers woke up from the dormant state of reducing consumption, tidied up their clothes and prepared armor without saying a word, took out a small piece of grinding stone to polish the bayonet, checked it several times to confirm that it was sharp, fixed it on their bodies, and kept their heads down.
Bai Yu lit the stove in his own cabin to cook river mussels to eat, this

Stuff has a lot of taste.
Mussel meat is rich in amino acids, and its flavor is delicious.
Half a meter high delicate small stove boils the water in the copper pot, throws the mussel meat into it and boils it for a while, in fact, the mussel is not good if the meat will be very hard and chewy, which is also the reason why no one usually wants to eat, there are kitchen utensils such as small cutting boards and kitchen knives for cutting vegetables in the exclusive cabin of Baiyu, and the boiled river mussel meat is put on the cutting board and gently knocked soft.
Put oil and spices in a copper pot and stir-fry until fragrant, pour in the mussel meat and stir-fry.
A certain white wielding a small shovel is extremely skillful, stir-fry for a while, pour water into the water and stew, the time is slightly longer, and you can go out to prepare other ingredients at this time.
Go out and fly into the heavy rain and disappear, go to a nearby town to buy tofu......
Half an hour later, I flew back, rolled up my sleeves and cut tofu, put it in the pot and continued to stew.
Not long after, a small pot of fragrant river mussel stewed tofu came out of the pot, and the iron ball was busy landing and had no time, so he could only enjoy this hot food by himself, and the river mussel umami was not said.
A bowl of white rice with mussel tofu, a river boat on the tip of the tongue.
After eating, he came to the cabin with the bowls, chopsticks and copper pot, stretched out his hand to summon the river water from the river water to wash the dishes automatically, looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, and returned to the cabin to sleep in the thick quilt.
Early in the middle of the night.
The sailors of the first big ship in front shouted to the back to stop the ship, and one after another relayed the words to the rear.
The ship slows down, there is a slow and wide water in front of the water, suitable for the fleet to moor, can not go any further, if you land on the river beach outside Yuecheng, it is not to rush to land but to ask for hardship, rather than being blocked on the boat, it is better to line up neatly to play the greatest advantage, the river bay is not far from Yuecheng, and you can arrive soon.
As for darkness, it is not a problem, the beast has excellent night vision.
Bai Yu quietly watched the ships dock one after another, the thick gangplank was put down with a clatter, and the demon soldiers disembarked one after another to assemble under the greeting of the officers......
Some boats were parked in shallow water, and after disembarking, the snake demon soldiers waded through the water with spears and shields and landed with a loud noise......
It was dark as ink, and there was no confusion in the night, whether they disembarked or assembled, carrying bundles of arrows and other supplies, led by archers and patrols, marching towards the mountains.
The iron ball finds the white rain that has come ashore.
"Boss, what should I do with the ship, do you want to leave five hundred soldiers to guard it?"
Bai Yu looked at the dense large ships in the river bay, the sky was still windy and raining, and the boats were swaying and floating up and down.
"Don't look at it, whoever dares to come to fight the idea of the boat will die, there are nearly 10,000 water monsters in the river enough to guard the boat, in the wind and rain, in the river, all I have the final say. ”
"The boss deserves to be the boss!
Bai Yu is right, it's big at the moment

----- this is a gorgeous dividing line-
The river gathers a number of clear water monsters, the sky is raining again, people can't get on the boat and can't set fire, and Yuecheng is not far from here, and the white rain can take care of it at any time.
A certain white will not intervene in ordinary battles unless there is an accident, and it is to deter Xiaoxiao, who wants to be unfavorable to the demon soldiers.
Lightning appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance, splitting the mountain peaks to illuminate the heavens and the earth, and then instantly plunged into darkness, and the flickering moment revealed the army that was climbing over the hills......
At night, lightning flashes, thunder, rumbling, and depressing and dreary.
Yuecheng was silent, and the soldiers and civilians defending the city had a rare good night's sleep, recuperating and preparing for the final battle tomorrow, and the people outside the city did not shout and shoot cold arrows.
Everyone in the city hoped that the day would not come, and that the night would be preserved.
Everything was in vain, and it was dawn.
"The rain has stopped?"
Jiang Mian was speechless, as if God was helping the Chibi people to attack the city......
The low horn sound of the Chibi people seemed to come from hell, and all of them poured out of the nest, pushing the sophisticated siege equipment built by the people of Wu to slowly approach Yuecheng.
The Chibi people, who had advanced beyond the range of their bows and arrows, stopped, and the battlefield was extremely quiet.
The defenders of Yuecheng were short of breath, and today could be the last day of their lives......
Not long after, the bald black tattooed strong man roared, the Chibi people rushed to the city wall frantically, the stone throwers threw stones and swirled to the city wall, the Chibi people used sophisticated equipment to attack, at the beginning was the most tragic decisive battle, the soldiers on the city wall were desperate, and the old and weak women and children in the city hugged their heads and cried.
Jiang Mian waved his sword frantically and refused to retreat, there was no way to retreat today, and he would definitely die if he got off the city wall.
The fight was fierce......
More and more people climbed the city wall......
Looking at his subordinates who collapsed and died tragically, Jiang Mian, who was still high-spirited not long ago, looked sad, and did not listen to the advice and arbitrarily killed the two old brothers and the loyal followers, and everything was over.
"I Hurt You......"
Just when the Chibi people poured onto the city wall and were about to slaughter all the defenders, a melodious horn suddenly sounded in the distance!
Woo~!
What is that?
The two sides who were fighting parted and looked back at the bare hills.
The dark clouds at the top of the hill spread out to reveal the sky, and the golden sunlight that had not been seen for a long time shone down on the hill, and the light was dazzling, and many people raised their hands to block it and tried to see the top of the mountain.
Jiang Mian's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and hope rose in his desperate heart!
Then, everyone saw a black line appear in the golden sunlight at the top of the hill......
