Chapter 14: The Scarlet Sun
Zhao Yinzhi was very helpless, there was an uprising, and the eldest brother finally remembered himself. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Yin's martial arts are strong, and he is a general. Not only that, the most commendable thing is that Zhao Yinzhi has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and everyone knows it, so he is even more handsome!
The emperor does not have him for pleasure, but he is allowed to find him when he leads his troops to war. was reluctant, but he couldn't refuse, Zhao Yinzhi had no choice but to lead 150,000 elite troops to pacify the remnants of Huaiguo. Although the rebels numbered in the millions, they were a rabble of peasants. And Zhao Yinzhi only has 150,000 troops, but he is the most elite army of the well-trained Zhao State.
Zhao Yinzhi led the army to cross the Yangtze River after the soldiers were divided into two roads, ten days ago received an urgent report from Mingzhou, Fotian led 70,000 rebels to besiege Mingzhou, so Zhao Yinzhi wanted to relieve the siege of Mingzhou, and Mo Yaoqian attacked Wanzhou.
"General, Fotian has besieged Mingzhou for more than 50 days, and all the military horses in the city have been killed, what should I do!"
A young general has a dark complexion and is as thin as wood, where does he look like a general in the mouth of the deputy general? It is clear that he is a refugee! I saw that he was almost thin into a human trunk, with high cheekbones and a knife face, two eye sockets sunk into a black hole as terrifying, a tousled beard and long unkempt hair spread out in an orderly manner, and the armor that used to be tight and fitting was now empty on his body.
"I have sent an urgent letter to the imperial court, and if I insist on it, the imperial reinforcements will arrive soon. ”
The young general paced back and forth restlessly, he was not so scrawny, and after ten days of trapping, the city was exhausted of food and grass. He ordered the killing of the military horses to limit the rations, and now the military horses were eaten up five days ago. Not only him? Thousands of soldiers have long been as skinny as wood! With a pure heart, they are loyal to the country, but the country is corrupt and depressed and has no aspirations.
"General, the soldiers can't stand it anymore, sooner or later they will have to eat people if they continue like this!"
Cannibalism? Yu Fei's heart trembled, yes, the soldiers were hungry, and the people in the city had already fled. If this continues, if the rebels do not wait for it to break through, Mingzhou will fall into cannibalism. As for the reinforcements from the imperial court, he himself did not know when they would arrive, and whether the news had been delivered to the imperial court or not was a question.
"You go down first, let me figure it out......"
Yu Fei fell into deep thought, the reinforcements were delayed, and Fotian did not come to fight. If Buddha Tian came to attack the city, it would be a little better, and Zhao Jun could still grab some war horses and military food in a desperate fight, but he didn't come, but what could you do? Now Zhao Jun has completely fallen into a boundless tranquility and panic.
"General, you haven't eaten all day. A thin soldier carried a shiny copper plate, but there was only a half-cooked piece of horse meat inside. The meat shrinks as soon as it is cooked, so they just blanch the meat so that they can eat more.
Yu Fei, who was still frowning, suddenly smiled.
"Li Goudan, you are only sixteen years old and you are growing your body. You eat it. ”
Now that the rebels are besieged, you are the last hope in the hearts of the soldiers, what if you fall and let the soldiers do!"
The young soldier fell to his knees, and there was a cry in his voice.
"Why not, general, I'm physically tough, it's okay if I don't eat a meal. ”
"General, don't you, even if you die, you won't dare to take your food! My little soldier, it's not a pity to die, but general, you are the hope of Zhao Guo!"
"That's good, half for one person, if you don't eat, I won't eat. ”
Saying that, Yu Fei took out a knife and cut off half of it, and Li Goudan gnawed on the horse meat with tears, as if it was not meat that he was eating, but as difficult as old firewood.
Suddenly, Yu Fei's face changed, he saw a trace of cooking smoke, there was nothing to eat in this city for a long time, the mice were all caught, and the birds were all shot. Even the crows that croaked and stared at the wounded soldiers before were all beaten and eaten by them. Who's lighting the fire? Could it be...... A sense of foreboding permeated Fei's heart.
"Come with me!"
Yu Fei drew his sword and strode out, and the deputy general and the dog quickly followed behind.
"Meaty?"
The hunger is unbearable, and the smell of food wafting suddenly can be smelled immediately. But this city has long been a dead city, there is nothing left but thousands of soldiers, how can there be the smell of meat? Thinking of this, Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, and then an uneasy anger surged into his heart!
He followed the smell and rushed into a civilian house, where dozens of soldiers gathered around the fire, the pot boiling hot. The soldiers were all gnawing on the bloody bones with hideous faces, and it turned out to be a human calf bone!
Bang!
Yu Fei kicked over the pot, and the hot water sprayed out, but even so, the soldiers who were splashed with the boiling water seemed to be unconscious, and instead became even more gobbled up!
"General, they ...... They're eating the wounded!"
Next to the room, a wounded soldier lay on a straw mat, his mouth gagged, his legs gone! Yu Fei was furious, swung his sword and slashed, and a soldier who was gnawing meat fell to the ground.
"All of them will be beheaded!"
At the sound of an order, several soldiers immediately rushed in and quickly cut down the dozens of soldiers to the ground. These soldiers did not resist until they died, Yu Fei was good to them, they couldn't do anything to the general. But hunger erodes their bodies, and such a day is really worse than death, but even if it is death, it is better to be a full ghost, right?
The horn sounded, and Yu Fei gathered the sergeants, although he was thin, he still did not lose his courage and majesty, standing like a banner, standing on the wall.
"Soldiers, we are human beings! We are all comrades-in-arms who bravely kill the enemy on the battlefield, and we cannot eat people even if we starve to death! Are you right?"
However, Yu Fei was impassioned, but the soldiers were silent. The silence chilled Yu Fei's heart. Yes, everyone is hungry, where is the spirit to shout? Looking at this group of soldiers who drooped their heads and said nothing, Yu Fei's heart was full of happiness and sadness......
The young general looked down at these good brothers with a pair of deep-set eyes, and he clenched his teeth, as if he was expecting something, where was the familiar cry of the past?
For more than 50 days, he knew that he couldn't hold on, he could hold on, but the soldiers couldn't.
With a sigh, he looked around the empty and desolate Mingzhou City again, and the prosperity and liveliness of the past seemed like yesterday. Yu Fei closed his eyes in grief.
The motherland, my mother, the imperial court, the country I serve, Yu Fei wants to protect you, but he can't do it. Let me dedicate my last battle song and last blood to you!
"The body is dead, the god is the spirit, and the soul is resolute. Brothers, let's die on the battlefield and not starve to death in the city!"
The matter has come to this point, and the morale of the army has been dispersed. Yu Fei had tears in his eyes, maybe the reinforcements would not arrive at all, maybe the news would not arrive, or maybe it would arrive, but King Zhao did not send troops at all......
"Die on the battlefield! Die on the battlefield!"
Who knew that the soldiers actually let out an angry roar, this familiar cry shook Yu Fei's heart!
They are all soldiers, no matter how corrupt the Zhao State is, they still have dignity! Soldiers can be killed, but they cannot be humiliated, they would rather die in battle and die in battle, than be a starving ghost without dignity!
The city gate slowly fell, and a group of 5,000 soldiers were all scrawny and torn in their armor. However, such a force exudes high fighting spirit!
The body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost is the hero!
......
"General, the enemy is in battle!"
Fo Tian was playing chess with the deputy general, but suddenly received a battle report, and he was immediately overjoyed.
"Yu Fei finally couldn't bear it anymore! This person is a talent, 5,000 people have stubbornly defended Mingzhou City, if such a talent can serve our army...... Alas, it's a pity that I'm stupid and loyal to Zhao Guo. ”
The 70,000-strong army besieged 5,000 people for more than 50 days! Even the Buddha had a love for talent.
"Fight!"
There are no relatives and friends on the battlefield, let alone just admiring a person? Buddha Tian has tried to recruit Yu Fei I don't know how many times, but it just doesn't work. In that case, it can only be killed!
Buddha Tian quickly surrounded this group of soldiers, and in the face of an army of 70,000, the team of 5,000 people was too insignificant. However, such an army exudes monstrous fighting intent, and that indomitable momentum is difficult to stop even if it is a nine-day barrier!
"Kill!"
Throw your head and spill your blood!
The soldier still wields the spear in his hand with seven or eight spears in his body, and even if he is cut off an arm, he still wields his one arm to kill the enemy! When he breaks a foot, he jumps on one foot and rushes at the enemy! Even if his arms are cut off, even if he bites with his teeth, he will bite off a piece of the enemy's flesh!
This is simply a demon from hell, and the soldiers are laughing and fighting. They are soldiers, they are soldiers under Yu Fei! They will shed their last drop of blood on the battlefield!
The horses' hooves trampled their bodies, and the horses' hooves could crush their flesh but not their fighting spirits! Outnumbered and hungry for so long, the 5,000-strong army was finally surrounded by cavalry and harvested their lives......
The soldiers fought frantically and laughed miserably, this is the last battle song of their lives, sad and sad......
The sun sets, and the sky is bloody. In this blood-colored remnant sun, the soldiers used blood to write the last chapter of their lives.
