Chapter 16 Pretagati

Jin Qianshi beside me also a little scared, said: "Chief, how to do?"

I was so confused, I didn't know what to do. The Serpents, who had been a little confused by our attack, gathered their banners and began to rush into the city again. I gritted my teeth and said, "Divide half the men and guard the entrance." However, I also know that this is difficult to do, the Snake people have stone cannons, if a few boulders again and again, holes in the wall, how can we guard against? Besides, our forcings are only a momentary impulse, and when the whole Serpents are pressed upon us, it will be very difficult for us not to talk of two men protecting the first. But, at this point, there is no other way.

At this time, behind suddenly came a burst of cry, mixed in the middle, is the loud cry of Bo Anli: "Get out of the way in front!"

Forward camp is here. Although the heart is settled, but I am a little unhappy. Forward Battalion is cavalry. Why are we so late? And even if the Vanguard battalion arrived, what would it do? I looked back and saw that Bo Anli was in the lead and had rushed to me.

They were pushing three carts covered with large cloths. The wagons were not large, the usual four-wheeled wagons of the baggage camp, and on top of them lay a square object covered with a tarpaulin. Three cars were pushing side by side, blocking the road completely. Bo Anli took the lead and opened the way for the three carts. Everywhere, the Dragon Scale Army broke the wall, and we had to stand on both sides of the road.

I didn't know what he was going to do, so I said to Jin Qianshi, "Go back quickly."

At this time, Pu Anli, already in front of me, suddenly laughed loudly and said, "General Chu, once you entered the Dragon Scale Army, you didn't even want your horse."

I was a little angry, way: "Pu general, snake people have to attack, you also say what sarcasm."

"That's why," said Lee. He shouted to the left sergeants who were still fighting at the gate: "Get out of the way. Forward Battalion is in charge."

Will the Vanguard stand up to the Serpents at the gate? "We are here," I shouted. "Hurry to the hole."

Pu Anli heard my cry and laughed: "General Chu, you don't need to make trouble, the road control is already there. Let go, brothers!"

His last words were certainly not addressed to me. Several of his forward battalions lit a wire in the vehicle and rushed forward. I was surprised, said: "General Pu, what are you going to do?"

There's got to be another fire bomb in the car. Bo Anli let his hand rushed forward, that is to kill snake people? But if such a load of gunpowder were to explode, it would be so powerful that half the wall would collapse. Bo Anli also ignored me, shouted: "ignition!"

There were still a few Left soldiers fighting with the Snake Man at the gate, but they were sure to be killed by the Snake Man soon. But in any case, it would have been cruel to be destroyed at this moment. "Wait," I cried.

Before I could cry out, dozens of flaming arrows flew out of one of the cars, straight to the gate of the city.

What's that? I almost cried out in surprise. Dozens of rockets flew from a nearby car. The arrows were so dense that the Serpents in front of them, among one or two Left soldiers who had not yet died, were hit together.

In the rain, the fire on the arrow posed no real threat, but the momentum surprised even the Snake man who was about to rush into the gate. They must have never seen such a weapon. It was almost the power of dozens of Guan Ri bows shot at the same time. It was almost the power of dozens of first-class archers like Tan Qing and Jiang Zaixuan shooting arrows at the same time, but the power was much greater. Pu Anli brought three cars, flying out of the arrow foot has hundreds of. A hundred arrows were shot so tightly that there was no space in their path. Where could anyone escape? Dead bodies lay at the gate, Imperial soldiers and Serpents alike.

"Good!" cried Lee. Close the gates!" He kicked his mount and lunged on.

At this moment the Serpents were stunned by the sudden attack. Most of those at the gate fell down, and those who were lucky enough to survive recoiled. I side of the gold Qianshi way: "Close the gate quickly!" Then he rushed up. Behind the Dragon Scale Army and forward battalion also rushed up, Pu Anli had reached the door, was about to close the gate, a few snakes outside the door woke up like a dream, a roar, and rushed in, at this time, I and Gold Qianshi also rushed to.

It was a hard fight, but we were in the right place, and, buoyed by the power of the rockets that had just been fired, the Serpents who had rushed into the city were quickly driven out and the gates closed.

When the door slammed shut, I put the gun on the ground. I didn't seem to have any wounds on me, but my shoulders were spattered with blood, whether of the Serpents or of our own, or even of my own. The Left army was urgently mending the hole in the wall. The Serpents' stone guns were so powerful that everyone was afraid, but the three rocket wagons of Bouanly gave us some comfort.

This time, however, I always think of the Left soldiers who fought with the Serpents at the gate of the city when he released the rocket. I can't say that Paul was wrong, but I didn't see any hesitation on his face when he gave the order to light the fire.

I led the three guards towards the head of the city. The situation was too urgent just now. I joined the moat as soon as I came. I haven't seen Lu Jingyu yet. The first thing, of course, to see him.

As soon as I got to the top of the city, I saw all the left soldiers cheering. I could not help smiling bitterly. It's similar to the time we fought off the snakes at the North Gate. That time, the rear army suffered heavy casualties, and when the Serpents retreated, the rear army still cheered, perhaps congratulating itself on survival rather than victory. In the ascent, I whispered to the side of Wu Wanling: "General Wu, you point our casualties have not?"

Wu Wanling said, "Seven of my brothers were wounded. Two of them were seriously wounded. They were sent to the medical camp for treatment.

The Dragon Scales are getting stronger in battle.

I couldn't help but gain some confidence. The Snake Man is growing stronger, but we are growing stronger. However, if we become stronger, we cannot change the disadvantage in the besieged city.

Just on the city, I saw what smiled, came forward: "Chu general, you this dragon front double will really live up to your reputation."

Puzzled, I said, "What? Two generals?"

"Don't you know? You and the forward battalion road general are now called the dragon front double general, everyone is saying that in the future you will be the successor of the emperor."

I am a little sad, but also a little depressed. When Lu Jingyu just came back, he was like a man of God. Everyone felt that with Lu Jingyu in charge, victory was easy to come by. Now that Lu Jing and Yu Xin have been defeated, they have been called such names again. It may not be long before Lu Gongxing and I are said to be able to lead the whole army to victory. But where is the victory? If I really thought about it, I'd be the gloomiest man in the army.

I said, "I made fun of you, what a pair of dragons, just as a distraction. General He, is General Lu there?"

I remember the first time I met with He Zhong, I was still in the forward camp. I was ordered by Marquis Wu to capture Lu Jingyu. After ten days, things have changed so much, even I could not imagine.

"Your lordship is at the head of the city, conferring with General Lu. Let me take you there."

He Zhong is almost a little too attentive to me now. I said nothing, but followed him in silence. When I thought of him threatening me for the sake of the land, I was a different man. Does that mean that the prestige of land-based fishing is declining? I couldn't help feeling some pain.

I don't want this to happen to the man I respect most.

Lu Jingyu's temporary camp is located at the head of the city. As soon as he got to the top of the city, he saw that it too was in a mess. Perhaps the Serpents had attacked the top of the city and been repulsed. He Zhongyi pulled aside the curtain and said, "Sir, General Chu of the Dragon Scale Army is coming."

I told them: "You wait for me." He went in and said, "Chu Xiuhong of the Dragon Scale Army, see General Lu." Then he knelt down. Lu Jing Yu held me up and said, "General Chu, please rise."

I stood up straight and looked at him. He looked a little older than he had that day in the Lord's tent. Maybe he was still blaming himself for what happened to the Lord Cangyue, because if the Lord had not seen through the plan of the Lord Cangyue, he would have been the culprit responsible for the total collapse of the Imperial Army.

I said to the road who was standing aside, "Good day, General Road." He nodded to me and said to Lu Jing Yu, "Sir, snake men are not used to climbing the city, but the field battle is very fierce. If you encounter Snake men attacking the city in the future, you must first close the gate."

Lu Jing Yu's face was also depressed. He said, "General Lu taught me very well. I remember it."

The road reverted, "The last soldier dare not. But your lordship did not close the gates of the city before the Serpents arrived. What has happened?"

Lu Jing Yu's face was filled with pain and he said, "Upon hearing the news of the Snake Man's attack, all the people who had left the city before suddenly swarmed into the city again. I could not bear to shut them out of the city, so I ordered them not to shut the gates until all the people were inside. But the snake man came too fast. When he was about to close the gate, the snake man had cut the gate and entered. If it had not been for the generals today, the consequences would have been catastrophic."

I thought of the huge stone that the Snake man had thrown out just now, which had broken a hole in the city wall. I could not help feeling uneasy. "The Snake Man at the east gate even has a stone cannon," I said.

"It was five stone cannons, side by side, firing at the same time. I was a little surprised when I saw the Serpents at the head of the city with their five stone cannons, and I was horrified to find that they had brought in such a huge stone."

Indeed, anyone who saw such a large stone thrown in the air would have been horrified. I said, "Then why did you stop?"

Lu Jingyu smiled and said, "Those monsters didn't use their siege equipment properly. The stone failed several times before it was finally sent out. However, they never brought such a big stone again.

I suddenly saw the light and blushed a little. I also thought a little too much about the snake man. Although the snake man was much stronger than the man, this huge rock was too big. How easy would it be to transport it here? If the Serpents were capable of transporting hundreds of these boulders here, they would have been able to break in long ago. I smiled and said, "Yes."

The road went, "Can the breach be mended at once? It's not easy now, to guard against a second attack from the Snake Man."

Land by fishing road: "Step up construction, can be repaired in half a day. It's just that I'm worried if the Snake people try the same thing again."

I suddenly shouted: "General Lu, your rocket vehicle is so powerful, can you equip the army with a few? That will keep the snake man from coming."

Lu Gongxing looked grave and said, "What you're talking about is Mr. Zhang's new fire, dragon and arrow, but," he paused and looked at my hopeful face. "It's just that the gunpowder has been used up, and only thirty have been made. According to Mr. Zhang, there are thirty-six rockets in one car, and it takes about ten rounds of gunpowder. What's more, this is intended for the class, but today we have to use it. I'm afraid the snake man will soon have a way to crack it."

I was silent, too, not knowing what to say. Chang Longyou's things are powerful, but they always need a lot of gunpowder. I said, "Is it because the elixir is gone?"

Ryuhuang grows in the fire Cloud Cave north of the city. We retrieved many of them when the snake first appeared at the South Gate. But now that the Serpents are stationed at the North Gate, where can we go outside the city to get them?

"Yes. Moreover, according to the Queen Army, the Serpents have sealed the Fire Cloud Cave. Even if we rush there, we can't get it out."

That's another bullet train thing to do. Fortunately, this greatest curse has now been removed.

At this moment, He Zhong suddenly pulled back the curtain and came in to report: "Your Excellency, there is a citizen who has escaped to the city and wants to speak to your Excellency. Does your Excellency want to see him?"

Lu Jing Yu raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

"He said it was about Snake people."

Lu Jing Yu eyebrows raised, said: "Let him come in."

I don't know how the guy knows where the snake people are, but it's better to hear than not to hear.

The man who came in was a man in rags, his clothes badly torn. Most of the people trapped in the city are shabby, but not as shabby as he is. He was a big man, but very weak, and came in with a limp gait. Upon entering, He bowed to Lu Jingyu and said, "Get down on your knees!" The man was so frightened that he threatened to kneel down. Lu Jingyu stepped forward and held him up and said, "No need. Have you anything to say?"

The man looked at Lu Jingyu, gritted his teeth and said, "General, I was reluctant to help the Empire, but since you let us in Kaesong, there is something I want to tell you."

Lu Jing Yu said, "What is it?"

The man looked at us again and said, "There are still fifty thousand people in southern Xinjiang outside the south gate."

We were all stunned. Outside the south gate is clearly the Serpent camp. What about 50,000 people? The man would not have deceived us with such a poor lie. He saw that we all looked incredulous and said, "Indeed, I am one of them. It is only that we, in the Serpent's camp, are, ha, ha, taken as rations."

He managed to chuckle twice, but by the last sentence he was full of hate. I also thought of the head found among the snake man's body. I shuddered and said, "Is it in the camp called Sandu?"

This humanity: "It is called Sandu. Outside the southern gate was the baggage-camp of the Serpents, who had captured seventy thousand of us and driven us all the way. We did not know why, until we discovered that we were."

His voice trailed off at the end, as if he could not go on. Lu Jing Yu said, "What are you going to tell us?"

The man gritted his teeth and said, "We had agreed that we would riot tomorrow. It's better to die than to die and be eaten by those monsters."

Road Gongxing grabbed the way: "Have you all discussed?"

The man was dismayed and said, "Last night, hundreds of us who were still strong were driven to the North Gate by those monsters. At first, we were just talking, and the monsters were talking, and they heard about the riot from somewhere. But they drove us to the east gate of the High Eagle City, and today they suddenly drove us into the city. Only then did we realize that we had been used as the first troops to gain access to your gates."

Lu Gongxing looked at me and was shocked. That was the real idea of the Serpents. The East Gate remained open, and when we tried to release the city, we attacked and drove back the people who had fled. Coming and going, they may feel that the food in the city has been used up before they attack from the east gate. Today, if the high speed railway had not hit the trap and transferred many of the snake men from the northwest gate to the south gate, if the snake men had attacked the east gate on all fronts, I am afraid the east gate would have been breached. However, judging from the Snake-man offensive, today's attack is probably based on temptation.

Now that the Snakesmen have closed ranks, maybe next time it'll be a four-door attack? Snake man Zhang Chi orderly, deep in the art of war, is probably the high-speed Chong kind of people to give them advice. Why did they help the snake man? Did they have a sworn enemy of both the Empire and the Republicans that they had to kill?

I shudder again at the thought that high-speed trains would rather die than fall into our hands.

Lu Jingyu mused for a moment and said, "Will the riot still happen?"

He shook his head. "I don't know. The day before yesterday we were separated, and there were groups at both the West Gate and the North Gate. Have those monsters attacked at the north Gate today?"

"No," I said.

Indeed, the serpents of the west Gate and the north gate did not attack. It seems strange at first thought, but it's not hard to understand when you think about it. This strategy, I can smell the taste of high-speed rail, it is also a high-speed train set up specifically for the land by fishing. High speed Chong of the city of generals, also know in the west gate and north gate to use this plan is not workable, only the east gate, using Lu Jing Yu's compassion, this plan can be sold.

The main purpose of the snake man's attack today is to dispel the myth of fishing on land. When Lu Jingyu returned to the army, the morale of the whole army was uplifted, and even the right army, which was at odds with the left army, was quite cheerful. High-speed rush must also see this, so to land by fishing play a Xiama Wei, the morale of our army to play down.

He's dead, but his schemes still seem to be coming to fruition. If the Lord had not finally forced him to appear, I do not know how we would have fought this battle. "And this unexpected centaur."

Hearing our report, Lord Wu thought for a long time.

This Intel is highly credible. The Snake-man captives may not be strong fighters, but within the Snake-man, once they can work together, they can really win at once. After hearing our report, the marquis also paced up and down in his tent, as if he could not make up his mind.

The class is getting harder every day. If the idea said by the Lord Moon is true, it is not impossible. But now we seem to have no choice but to defend. A warrior who has fought many battles must have run out of ideas by now.

Lu Gong said, "Your Majesty, it would be a good idea if you could make contact with the captives of the Snake Group. Please think again. Tomorrow I would like to charge with my troops and horses. Even if this is the snake man's trick to lure the enemy, my troops are all cavalry, and they are enough to retreat into the city. It's better than doing nothing."

Marquis Wu paced a few more steps and suddenly stood still.

Has he made up his mind? I looked at the road kneeling beside me, and he looked expectant.

The marquis said, "Two generals, get up."

When we stood up, the marquis said loudly: "Eagle, you go to inform the thunder drum, so that the army quickly come to discuss military aircraft."

The result of the discussion is that if it is sunny tomorrow, the first snake movement, immediately attack, with the remaining half of the dragon dragon arrows. If it rains, this discussion is not possible, immediately send messengers flying back to Beijing for help.

I was somewhat disappointed by the decision. From the bottom of my heart, I agree with Lu's idea of walking honorably. When the Serpentine captives start fighting, they're gonna be in trouble, and we're gonna have a good chance. What Marquis Wu wants, it must be those firearms that Zhang Longyou can make on sunny days. With these firearms, we had a better chance of winning, and in the rain, even if the riffraff of the Serbians made a move, we had no chance of winning. And back to the imperial capital for help, it is also a few with the same dream. With the Serpents all around us, who knows how to escape?

We really need a win to boost our morale. Since the siege of the Serpents, we have not even won a single battle. We have suffered over ten thousand casualties, and the Serpents have left only a few hundred bodies. According to this ratio, Lord Wen would have to send at least one million troops.

After the meeting, out of the Marquis camp, I and the road to go. It was raining. The spring was cold, and the rain was chilling on me. I could not feel it during the killing, but now I felt my clothes wet and I was shivering with cold. I looked at Lu Gongxing. He just looked up at the sky, sighed deeply and said, "The destiny of heaven belongs to you. Alas."

The rain continued into the next day.

The next morning I took the Dragon Scale Army to the south Gate to stand by, but the rain kept falling and the Lord never ordered an attack. Far away, I also saw the snake people outside the south door in a commotion. But the commotion soon died down, and the captives who had provoked it were probably destroyed in a moment.

I sat motionless on the battlements, watching the rain. The rain was so heavy that it couldn't be seen dozens of paces away. It was all gray. The rainy season in southern Xinjiang lasts for more than a month. It is said that in the rainiest year, it rains for more than 40 days in a row.

Even with Chang Longyou's firearm, in this piece of rain, we can still hold on for a few days? Besides, the food will only last ten days.

"The rain is heavy, the attack is called off, and the departments disband and return."

Thunder and drum came running again, Shouting to the troops standing at the head of the city. Hearing his words, my heart sank and I could hardly breathe.

My clothes were drenched by the rain. My armor and underwear were wet and stuck to my body. It was extremely uncomfortable, but I didn't seem to feel it anymore.

The cold rain pelted me from time to time. On my way back down town, I took another look outside.

The Serpent camp was only a mile from the city, and its gates could be seen from above. From a distance, my heart soured as I watched the calm return to the Serpent camp.

Perhaps this is the last chance to turn the tide. From now on, all we can do is defend and ask the Imperial capital for reinforcements.

The best hope is that a messenger for help will not arrive for a month, if at all. But I cannot see how the Empire could have sent a greater force than the one hundred thousand that the Lord had under his command. Of course, Lord Wen's direct line could not be defeated by Lord Wu, but Lord Wen had only ten thousand men in total, of which two thousand were borrowed by Lord Wu to the Central Army. Even if Marquis Wen cobbled together an army of 100,000 men to reach southern Xinjiang, would he be able to defeat the Snake people?

The Lord will not be unaware of this fact. He could not think of any practical plan now. Five days passed. The messenger left on a flying horse. If he ran day and night, it would take him seven days to reach the imperial capital. It is also a miracle that the imperial capital can move troops, secure the transport, and arrive a month later. The Lord kept this news very tight, and although the rations were still three dry cakes per person per day, I do not think this number could support them for a few days.

It was while eating the supplies that came from the baggage battalion that I discovered for the first time how delicious the dry cakes were. I chewed the cake hard and swallowed every last bit. Fortunately, there was enough water in the city to keep me from choking.

When I swallowed, my headache seemed to crack. I have always felt a little dizzy since that day, and it is worse today. Today, chewing dry cakes is almost like a punishment. It rained for five days. Every day we were afraid that the snake would attack us. What was hateful was that the serpents would attack almost once a day, and each time they would attack and leave, clearly to harass. But each time we had to brace ourselves for God knows when the Serpents had launched a real attack.

That day is coming, too, but everyone is afraid to say it.

The rain was still falling, and from time to time the sound of rain from the tent was very noisy. I finished one piece of cake, rubbed my head, and prepared to put the other two in my pocket, when Jin Qianshi brought some soldiers into my camp. As soon as they were inside, they fell to their knees and said, "I'll ask the Governor for his order."

I took a sip of water, swallowed a bit of cake residue in my mouth, and said, "What's wrong?"

Training was suspended long ago. Where can you train when you can't get enough to eat? The Serpents attacked every other day, and our casualties began to diminish, but it wasn't that we were any better, it was that the serpents were quick to attack.

Jin Qianshi said: "Commander, we will kill the captured snake man."

'What?

The captured snake man had been held captive in an empty tent. The snake man's hunger was amazing. We never gave him anything to eat, and he did not change. I went to torture him a few times at first, but it was a waste of time. The snake man only stammered and incoherent words, and I left him alone for two days.

"Governor," Jin Qianshi said, straighting out his chest, "the brothers are starving. The snake man is useless anyway. We want to kill him for meat."

Jin Qianshi had proposed this many days ago, but I was sick to think of the head in the snake man's stomach. 'But they are man-eaters,' I said

"But there's more than a hundred pounds of fresh meat on that."

I was a little dizzy in front, said: "Whatever."

His face lit up. "Thank you, Sir," he said.

He stood up and looked back. 'The Governor has promised. Let's go.'

Looking at them from behind, I can't help thinking of the Republican forces we besieged. The Republicans of that time began killing and eating the city after a two-month siege. For a while the city was more heavily guarded, but after a few days morale fell even lower.

Man is not a beast after all. When you eat the flesh of your own kind, that fear is only on top of the fear of death. Under the city to see the Republican army in the city at the end of the murder cut meat to roast food, only feel that it is no different from the beast, in the nausea is more disgust. But the cannibalistic Republicans are more afraid than we are.

And if we start eating snake flesh today, in a little while we may end up like the Republican Army.

The tide turns. Thinking of this sentence, I only have a wry smile.

Soon after they walked out, I heard a scream in the courtyard, but it was not a human cry. I grabbed an umbrella by the side and went out.

Inside the empty tent where the Snake Man was kept, a Longscale soldier came out grinning with a piece of the Snake Man's tail, his hands covered in blood. Seeing me, he smiled and said, 'Will you have a piece of meat, Governor?'

I shook my head and said, "I don't want it."

When I reached the tent door and looked in, I was shocked. Jin Qianshi rolled up his sleeve and was holding a knife to cut flesh on the snake man. Under the serpent's head, about the size of a man's neck, had been cut off, and the blood was lying in a bowl, slightly hot, not dissimilar to human blood.

Snake blood is not as hot as human blood, but it's still blood. My head was dizzy, but also at a loss, at the foot of a float, a foot empty, umbrella is still to one side, people also fell in the rain.

Jin Qianshi turned around and exclaimed: "Governor, what happened to you?"

His hands were still bloody. After washing them in the water outside, he reached out and touched my head. "Governor," he cried, "your forehead is burning."

Someone helped me up, I said: "Never mind, send me back."

In front of me, like many colorful lights lit up, and I also like to be in the flame. Fire was burning all around, and I couldn't find a way. In a groan, a soft hand touched my face, warm in the cool.

Is that her? I tried to open my eyes, but they were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and I could not open them. I lay as if I were flying through the air, rising and falling without a moment's rest. Drowsy, I fell asleep again, not knowing where I was. It seemed to me that I was in a vast open field. Now and then there was a wildfire burning, and I ran hopelessly, only watching the fire get bigger and bigger behind me. In the heat of my body, the shadows of some people dangled before my eyes.

When I woke up, I was still confused and had forgotten where I was. When I opened my eyes and saw the top of the tent above, I realized that I was still in the camp of the Dragon Scale Army. I turned my head to the side of the bed and placed a small table. On the table, an oil lamp was on and a woman was sitting with her back to me. Beside her, a pot of something was simmering on a small charcoal stove, and a sweet smell of rice came out, and she was stirring it with a little spoon.

I groaned, and she turned her head, surprised, and said, "General, are you awake?"

I said, "How long have I been lying there? Who are you?"

With a look of fear on her face, she said, "General, you've been sleeping for two nights and a day."

I struggled to sit up and she held me up. I sat up and said, "Who the hell are you?"

This woman is not like her, and Bai Wei is somewhat similar. But her chin was sharper, her complexion more haggard, and she probably never had enough to eat. "I am General King's concubine," she said. "Now General King has given me to him to serve you."

Is it a captive girl of Kim Cheon-seok? I remember when he sent me the white myrgonum sisters, he told me he had five concubines. Although the conquest of Gao Eagle City, most of the senior officers have captured one or two women, even Qilie also captured a, but as many as he is rare. I can not help but smile a little bitter, gold Qianshi this person is not what bad, but too like to send concubine. Perhaps he also raised too much, how can he live now? Give it away as a personal gesture.

Maybe he didn't have much faith in survival either.

I said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Sue Wenyue," she said.

Sue Moon? Then I remembered that the white Polygonum had not told me their names when she had given them. At that time, they wanted to hide the fact that they were the daughters of Duan Hairuo. However, there is no Su in the seven days of the Lord of the Moon, so Su Wenyue is probably not the daughter of any general.

"What officer was your father in the Republican Army?" I said.

Her eyes flashed a tear, said: "General, my father is a Minsheng school instructor, not in the army."

Minsheng Academy is the highest institution of learning in the Republic of China. It was originally called Nandu Academy in southern Xinjiang. It was changed after the rebellion of Cang Yue Gong. Before the Empire, the northern military academy, the southern school, Su Wenyue's father in the Nandu Academy when teaching, status will not be too low. But it has nothing to do with the army. The city of Gao Ying was besieged, and they were destroyed.

I said lightly, "Nandu Academy. Is there anyone else during the war?"

Su Wenyue's face changed and she said, "My daughter should die. It is the Nandu Academy. When the war broke out, half of the students in the academy had joined the army."

I was still a light tunnel: "Nandu Academy, Minsheng Academy, or a place, you don't have to care."

She was not sure what I meant by this. At this moment, there was a loud noise, and a cloud of ash rose from the stove, but the pot of porridge was boiling and spilling out. She was in a panic: "The daughter should die." Reach out and remove the pan on the stove. The ears of the pot were very hot, and when the pot was put to one side, she held them in her hands and gasped.

I looked at her and laughed. Her appearance was suddenly full of a young woman's lovely, remind me of the military academy when the "military flower" that "military flower" is actually a military academy in the side of the small hotel owner's daughter, every time to the military academy holiday, the small hotel is crowded. We did not drink to such an extent. The wine was so expensive then that we drank rather than drank, only a small glass at a time. But it wasn't about drinking, it was about that sweet girl. Every time she came out of the kitchen with a dish, it was a holiday for our poor, crazy cadets. I still remember that once, when she put down a pot of hot meat and tofu, she was so hot that she pinched her ears, which was vaguely similar to her now.

When she saw my smile, she was a little stunned and said in bewilderment, "My daughter should be damned. I beg the general to punish her."

For some reason, I was upset and just said, "No, none of it deserves to die."

I do not know whether she understood this sentence, Su Wenyue just took a bowl, said: "General, eat some porridge."

I said, "Where did you get the rice?"

"Your Lordship sent it himself. Only a little over a catty, well, only enough to cook a little."

I took the bowl and said, "Have you eaten?"

She was a little embarrassed and said, "I already ate."

Her face flushed a little. You can't even tell a lie. I said: "You go to get a bowl, we divide it."

She was startled, said: "General, my daughter dare not."

I said: "What dare dare, eat it."

There were tears in her eyes again, but, in a trance, I remembered that I had said the same thing to the white vivine. It has not been many days, but it has seemed an eternity.

Su Wenyue took a bowl, filled it up a little, and took a bite carefully. I said, "Eat more, because I can't eat it anyway."

Her face flushed, but she ate slowly. I also sip porridge, only feel a little warm body.

Now, the best reward Wu could offer was probably this little white rice.

Drink two mouthfuls, suddenly feel some strange delicious mouth. I put the bowl in front of the lamp and said, "What's in the porridge?"

She put down the bowl and exclaimed, "It's a piece of meat from General Kim. I chopped it up and put it in porridge."

It's the flesh from the snake man. The thought of the inside of the snake man made me a little uncomfortable, but the delicious taste left in my mouth prevented me from feeling sick at all. I sighed and took another sip.

After drinking the bowl, Su Wenyue poured some boiling water and washed the pot clean. She drank all the water. I felt comfortable after eating. Touch my head, and I feel better. As I was about to rise, Su Wenyue supported me and put on my coat and soft armour. I laughed and said, "Are you serving me these two days? Thank you."

She blushed. She probably had to take care of me, too. "General," she whispered, "you are very ill. You are always talking nonsense."

I laughed. "What nonsense did I say?"

"It's all pipa and stuff. General, can you play the pipa?"

My face froze, too. I couldn't remember anything I had said during my fever. "I like to listen to the pipa. How old are you, by the way?"

She did not pay any attention to my diversion. She simply said, "Nineteen."

I sighed. Her appearance and character made her a former socialite. She would have lived on smoothly, married a promising young man, cared for her husband and children until she was old. But the war had broken everything for her, and perhaps that road no longer belonged to her.

I slipped my feet into my shoes and said, "Why don't you rest while I go for a walk?"

She gave a cry and said, "It's still raining outside. I'll give you an umbrella."

She and I stepped out of the tent side by side. It was raining hard. Some of the Dragon Scales had taken shelter under an awning outside.

I nodded. "General Kim?"

"They've gone hunting," said one of the Longscale soldiers.

Hunting? I didn't understand, but the dragon Scale Army laughed and said, "The Serpents attacked again today and left a dozen dead bodies. If we leave late, we won't be able to share the good meat."

Even though I had eaten snake flesh myself, I was still sick. Now, the snake people are in a different situation, and I wonder what these man-eating monsters would think if they knew they were going to be our food. I said: "You can have any orders?"

"Marquis Wen said," Lord Wen has already deployed troops in the imperial capital. We only need to hold on."

Jun Hou also completely gave up the plan to quit the army. I don't know if that's good news or depressing. During the days when I was sick, sometimes when I was slightly awake, I was afraid that I would open my eyes and see no one, only to see several snake people staring at me. If that were true, one of my patients would have been left behind.

"Have you heard from the messenger?"

The Dragon Scale's face fell too. "We don't know," he said.

A synonym for not knowing is no news. Perhaps the messenger who asked for help could not escape the blockade of the snake people. Maybe Marquis Wen thought we were on our way to celebrate the victory of the victorious Marquis.

The rain crackled against the awning. Suddenly there was a rush of trumpets, and someone was Shouting, "The Snake Man is coming!"

I was surprised, but the waiting Dragon Scales brightened and cried, "Great!" One of them said to me, "Stay quiet, Captain, and come back when we've fought back the Snake Man." He rushed out. I looked at myself. I was wearing only a soft coat of armor, and my limbs were weak. But I couldn't wait any longer.

I stepped out of the awning and ran after him. But they ran so fast that they splashed on the ground, and after a while I was a little out of breath. In front of him was a shout, which grew more and more urgent and subsided.

I ran after him in a hurry, but before I reached the wall the voice died down.

Was the snake man's attack over so soon? It's kind of incredible. I quickened my pace and ran to the head of the city.

The town-heads were crowded, huddled over the battlements, Shouting as if they had just been fought. I was about to go up to him when I heard a groan.

It was a dragon army named Yao Shizheng. This man is a veteran of the sentry, always follow Jin Qianshi, I also remember his name. He's got a bloody gash on his leg, probably from a gunshot. The rain fell and the water around him turned red, but no one paid any attention to him.

I went to his side, squatted down, said: "Yao Shizheng, what's going on?"

He moaned, "Captain, they're hunting."

Before he had finished, he groaned again with pain. I helped him out of the rain and said, "You call fighting hunting?"

At that moment someone in the company cried out: "Bah! This meat is clearly my favorite, do you want to face?"

Then I suddenly realized that they were dividing the meat of the snake and killing it. No wonder it was called "hunting" and so happy. If you can get some meat from a fight, that's almost as good as hunting.

At this moment, I heard someone shout: "The snake man was killed by a single stroke of my sword, but I want this piece of meat?"

This is the voice of Kim Cheon-seok. When those who had gathered around parted ways, someone said, "This is not your Dragon Scale Army garrison. If you want meat, you can see it in person." The right soldier who was quarreling with Jin Qianshi shouted loudly: "Do you think your Dragon Scale army is very great? I put it all together, too, you son of a bitch!"

Jin Qianshi pulled out a knife, roared: "OK! Let me try you!"

When I saw what was wrong, I cried, "General King!"

Jin Qian Shi turned his head, surprised and happy: "Governor! Are you well?"

I walked over and said, "Do you want to share the flesh of the snake?"

As soon as I got to the edge, I felt sick. The snake man's stomach had been cut open, and inside was the body of a small man. The corpse was half digested, and only half of the body was still visible. But they didn't seem to see it. The snake man had been cut off so much flesh that more than half of his body was just a skeleton.

Jin Qianshi said, "Commander Chu, I killed this snake man today. I was about to send you a piece of meat. The boy is so rude."

I only felt sick in my stomach, and the bowl of porridge I ate seemed to have a strange taste. Ear only to hear that several right army is whispering tunnel: "Originally he is and the road general and the dragon front double will ah", "not how tall look" and so on. Perhaps my name is almost a legend in the army, but I am more depressed.

Beginning with Marquis Wu and later Lu Jingyu, they were all imagined as invincible figures. When the truth shattered this illusion, even Lu Gongxing and I were carried out. If we were killed in battle, some would be carried out of their own accord, probably before the whole army was lost.

I said, "General King, we are all brothers. Whatever you say, let's go."

The right soldier who was fighting with Jin Qianshi said, "General Chu, it is my fault. Please don't take it personally. Don't blame you, General Kim."

I smiled and said, "General Jin, Yao Shizheng is injured. He has to be helped to see the medical officer. Go ahead, don't delay."

Jin Qianshi looked at Yao Shi 'an sitting on the side, picked up a few pieces of meat on the ground, said to the side of a dragon scale army: "You send Xiao Yao, I immediately send the commander back to camp."

As we were coming down the steps, I said, "General Jin, what are you arguing about with the rightists? If General Yue knows, it will be our fault."

Jin Qianshi still holding two pieces of bloody meat, was the rain, has been washed clean. 'Did you know, Governor,' he said, 'that there's only been one a day since yesterday?'

The day has come. I was speechless. I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say.
