On August 9th, the weather was as hot as cooking everything on the ground, and what was even worse was that Dongshuang City had not had any food for nearly 4 days.
Lin Muyu’s war horse has also been slaughtered, even Min Yulin’s own mount was used as food, but it is still to no avail. The remaining 20,000 soldiers have almost eaten up everything in Dongshuang City, and the bark in the city has been destroyed. Stripped, many soldiers dig three feet to look for earthworms, mice and other animals, and the whole Dongshuang city is silent.
With a gurgling noise in his stomach, Lin Muyu held the hilt of the Dragon Spirit Sword at his waist and walked step by step on the city avenue. As far as his eyes could be seen, the imperial army was sitting weakly on the side of the road, no one returned. Have the strength to stand up and walk around, not to mention daily training.
"Big Brother..."
Qin Yan rushed over happily, wiped his chapped lips, and said, "Hurry up and go back to camp. I have made some delicious food, maybe it will fill my stomach a little."
"Oh?"
Lin Muyu returned to the camp with him, but saw that Shen Han was cooking a big pot, and a faint fragrance came from the pot. He couldn't help asking in amazement, "What? We didn't eat everything two days ago. Up?"
"Soon you will know..."
After a while, Qin Yan lifted the lid of the pot, and saw pieces of black paint rolling in the boiling water. It was these things that gave off a faint fragrance. Lin Muyu couldn't help frowning, and said, "This is what?"
"I hate the hide, the hide I got out of the armor." Qin Yan said excitedly: "Although I hate the hide, it won't invade water or fire, but after boiling it for an hour, it will loosen like pigskin. It must taste like. It must be good, elder brother, sit down, I will serve you a bowl in a moment, and you will be waiting for a good meal..."
Lin Muyu smiled bitterly: "I only need a little bit, and give more to my brothers. They have been hungry for many days."
"Well, I got it."
A few minutes later, a bowl of soup arrived in front of Lin Muyu, with a slap-sized piece of leather floating on it, the cortex was boiled, and it exuded a faint fragrance. The chopsticks picked it up and took a bite, but it seemed to bite a piece of hard paper. Lin Muyu frowned, no matter how much it was, she quickly chewed it up and swallowed this piece of hideous cowhide with a "gudong", she didn't know what it was like, but somehow it still made something in her stomach.
At this moment, a messenger shouted outside the camp: "The deacon of the temple camp Lin Muyu, the prince summons the generals to discuss matters..."
"I see, go right away."
"good."
Lin Muyu stood up, instructed Qin Yan and Shen Han to close the camp, and then went to the city lord’s mansion. The generals in the city lord’s mansion were pale. He was not like this in Yancheng.
"Generals."
Min Yulin stood up slowly with an iron spear. The Junhou robe and armor on his body was a little wrinkled because of sitting for too long. He looked at the crowd and said lightly: "We... are going to go home."
A ten thousand master of Twilight City was taken aback: "Junhou, we are now surrounded by demons, how can we go home?"
Min Yulin smiled slightly and said: "Five days ago, General Chai Hong, the leader of the Tomahawk Battalion, had already led his troops to dig a tunnel under the east wall of the city. This tunnel was two miles long and completely beyond the encirclement of the demons. Let’s retreat at night tonight, and the battalions must gather 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 that the generals above the centurion are the elites of the empire. After the training, it will be a strong soldier, and it will not be too late to avenge the soldiers who died in Winterfrost City."
Xu Ying nodded: "What the Lord has said is reasonable, the battalions will immediately follow suit..."
Lin Muyu couldn't help saying more, and said with a fist, "Yes..."
…
Time passed bit by bit. At night, the stars were dim. Lin Muyu took Qin Yan, Shen Han and several centurion or more generals along the alley to the east of the city. All the way, he only saw the roads sitting quietly on both sides. Some of the silent imperial soldiers have been dead for a long time and starved to death. As for the tens of thousands of people in Dongshuang City, they have already starved to death. Many of them were taken away by the imperial army. Naturally, I can’t live on.
Qin Yan frowned and said, "The rest of us have to stay and wait for death?"
Shen Han sighed without speaking.
Lin Muyu said indifferently: "Keep our useful bodies and take revenge for them again. I didn't expect that the Demon Race would fall from the sky before Yihe Kingdom's blood debt was collected."
Qin Yan said: "Compared with the uprising and the country, the demons are probably more cruel, and they also... and cannibalize..."
Lin Muyu was silent.
The flames flickered in front, but no one spoke. Min Yulin stood on the edge of the cave in a robe of Junhou and watched the officers of the Tomahawk battalion enter. There were 7,000 or 8,000 people in the Tomahawk battalion, so all the high-ranking generals added together. After seventy or eighty people entered the cave in order, veteran Xu Ying raised his hand and said: "Let’s wait for Chai Hong to figure out the situation at the exit of the cave first, and protect the emperor's retreat after safety."
Everyone clasped their fists and said in a low voice: "Yes..."
…
However, after Chai Hong and others entered the cave, they did not come out again. After nearly an hour, Min Yulin frowned and said, "What's the matter, it took so long, Min Zhan, go down and see the situation."
"Yes, father..."
Min Zhan drew his saber and jumped into the hole, but the next moment he turned over, touched the muddy water on his leg, 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 level with the ground, all the people who entered the cave before must have drowned. Xu Ying's face was full of pain, and said: "It's over... This group of rascal demons must have discovered So I dug up the water from the Daojiang tributary and poured the water into the cave. Chai Hong led him..."
Everyone was silent, and the last vitality disappeared again in an instant.
Min Yulin closed his eyes, his body trembled slightly under the stars, his face was full of pain, and he looked up at the sky and said, "Why is it me, Min Yulin? Why..."
"Father..." Min Zhan looked up at Min Yulin and asked, "Now, what shall we do... Everyone has no sense."
"Go back to the City Lord's Mansion..." Min Yulin said lightly: "We have cut off the food and grass, and 25,000 people can't support it. We are going to open the city gate early tomorrow morning and have a life and death with the demons. Maybe Wang Xi is right. Rather than waiting to die here, but a heroic death, even if one more armor demon is killed, it is a loyalty to the empire."
"Yes…"
Hundreds of high-ranking generals, including Min Zhan and Xu Ying, were all but Lin Muyu, Qin Yan and others staying here.
…
"Brother, shall we not leave?" Qin Yan asked in surprise.
Lin Muyu looked at the Daojiang water in the cave with very clear eyes. She suddenly gave a wry smile and said, "Ayan, I have been into a few fishermen's houses before, and they have many fishing nets in their homes. Take a few people to get all these fishing nets. Find it out. Master Shen Han, go to the Temple Camp and Spirit Fire Division, and call people who still have a little strength over, let them dig and widen this tunnel, and bring in a lot of Daojiang water."
Qin Yan and Shen Han's eyes lit up at the same time, and Qin Yan smiled and said, "Big brother is really smart. He actually knows how to use tricks..."
"It's a stopgap, go ahead and do it..."
"Yes…"
In the middle of the night, hundreds of people worked hard to dig together, and soon widened the tunnel entrance into a pond with a radius of hundreds of meters, and the bodies of Chai Hong and others gradually floated out and were all buried on the spot under Lin Muyu's order. As expected, the Daojiang water brought many fish. Qin Yan caught a fish weighing at least three kilograms with his first net, winning the cheers of a group of soldiers.
Shen Han and others followed suit and used fishing nets to fish. Not long after, the temple camp caught fish weighing at least one hundred catties, and set a large pot on the side. It didn’t matter if the seasoning was exhausted, a pot of fragrant fish soup quickly came out. The pot, everyone is around to share food, in fact, everyone eats 30% full, but it is enough.
At midnight, nearly a hundred catties of fish were caught, and Qin Yan took these fish to Min Yulin under Lin Muyu's order.
On that night, pieces of food suddenly fell in the sky, including wild boar legs, venison, and even a dead hare and other prey.
The soldiers in Dongshuang City cheered.
"These foods cannot be eaten."
Lin Muyu looked at the sky and said confidently: "Ayan, if the order continues, no one can eat anything that falls from the sky."
Qin Yan nodded: "Yes..."
Shen Han wondered: "Why, big deacon..."
"How can the prey fall from the sky? It's the wingmen of the demon clan... They know that we are so hungry that they want to poison us to death, so don't eat it."
"Yes… "
However, all the imperial soldiers in the city were already starving, and they talked about whether it is poisonous or poisonous. Many people swallowed it as they knew it was poisonous, and they had to be starving to death, but they didn't disappoint them. They all ate them. None of the people who dropped food was spared, all Qiqiao bleeds and died.
…
In the early morning, there was silence in the office lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
"How many people were poisoned to death in total?" Min Yulin asked indifferently.
"3000 people." Xu Ying said.
Min Yulin showed a bit of pain, and said, "The cunning demons are too cunning... Come here, go and cooperate with Master Lin Muyu to expand the water source of the Daojiang River, try to catch as many fish as possible to eat, don’t make people hungry again. died."
At this time, a Seven Seas City officer wearing the rank of ten thousand chief among the crowd clasped his fist and said: "Prince, the subordinates have a way."
"General Shihuo, please speak."
Shi Huo looked cold and said, "The soldiers who have just died, their bodies..."
"Shut up…"
Min Yulin got up against the crime and said angrily: "I, Min Yulin, would rather starve to death than eat people..."
Shi Huo was taken aback for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Yes, Junhou Yingming, I didn't say it as a subordinate..."
