Chapter 58
The moon and stars are rare...

Only when night falls will the dryness and heat in the Southwest fade away, and the people in the Southwest will fall asleep in this coolness, which is simply not too comfortable.

Li Ba is a soldier in Qucheng, who was ordered to guard the granary——

Some time ago, he dispatched soldiers to attack Shaoliang, but he did everything he could to avoid it, not because he was afraid of anything else, but mainly because he was afraid of death.

Although Shaoliang is weak, he can always kill a few Kang people, right?What if he was one of the people killed?
In the end, Li Ba still stayed in Qucheng, which was also the decision Li Ba regretted the most...

No one could have imagined that the Shu army would come so quickly and directly threaten Qucheng.

Now Qucheng is surrounded by the Shu army, who can't even run away, and the sound of the Shu army attacking the city can be heard every day. In less than three days, more than half of the city was destroyed.

Some people say that the Shu army has not really attacked the city yet, this is just grinding them...

Thinking about it, Li Ba tightened his clothes and held the knife tightly, which made him feel confident.

He doesn't even have half a pair of armor, and the knife in his hand is still picking up the dead. If the Shu army comes here, how can he beat it?
Therefore, Li Ba was very flustered...

Looking back at the granary, he saw that the door was closed tightly and there was a big lock on it. Only General Daotuo had the key.

The day before yesterday, General Daotuo locked it himself, and only he and the food officer could go in to get food.

At this time, a soldier from the Kingdom of Kang came over and asked mysteriously in his ear, "How much food is there in the city?"

Li Ba was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, and whispered, "How do we know? The general won't let us see it."

"Um……"

The soldier shook his head after hearing this, his face was a little heavy, he looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered: "I heard that there is no food in the city—"

"Varied--"

Covering his mouth, Li Ba looked left and right, then glared at the person in front of him: "Don't talk nonsense, this is going to be beheaded!"

This can't be said nonsense. General Daotuo killed a soldier who disturbed the morale of the army yesterday.

"Otherwise why lock it up?"

The soldier said to Li Ba with a suppressed voice: "The porridge given has become less and less in the past two days, and they are all starving to defend the city..."

Hearing this, Li Ba glanced at the gate behind him and the big lock over there, touched his shriveled belly, Li Ba shook his head.

"We just need to stay safe and guard the city."

Now they can only wait for reinforcements to come to rescue them.

"Ugh--"

The soldier shook his head and walked towards the tower: "Defend the city, defend the city... I don't know when it will be the end..."

Watching the man leave, Li Ba was actually also afraid. He didn't know when the reinforcements would arrive, and they were about to run out of food...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ba vaguely heard noisy voices, mixed with screams.

Has Shu started to attack the city again?
The voice is very familiar, but compared to the past, this time it is more tragic...

Indistinctly, a bad premonition rose in Li Ba's heart.

……

The North Gate was under the most violent attack, three rounds of arrows passed, and its momentum did not weaken.

"Who is the guard in the city?"

Wei Zhang from the rear looked at Qucheng, he really wanted to know who the guard of Qucheng was?In the case of insufficient defenders, he forcibly defends for three days, and he can be regarded as a good general.

Turning his head, Wei Zhang asked a soldier next to him.

If you look carefully, you can see that there is a strange writing mark on this person's face.

He was originally from Kang, and a member of the Six Miao Army. Because Kang's policy was too tyrannical, he fled to Shu and was discovered by Wei Zhang.

The reason why Wei Zhang was able to reach Qucheng quickly is thanks to this person who led the way. With his familiarity with the road, the Shu army reduced many unnecessary losses.

"Reporting to General, it should be Daotuo."

The soldier thought about it for a while, and then said: "The subordinates only know that he has followed Lord Kang for a long time, and Lord Kang trusts him very much."

"I once planned to ambush the [-]-strong army of Young Master Zhen, and he has a high prestige in the Kang Kingdom."

"Ok?"

Wei Zhang turned his head to look at the soldier beside him, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "The trick was set up by him?"

Wei Zhang heard about that battle, it should be said that the whole of Shuzhong, and even the Central Plains had heard of it.

It was also at that time that the Central Plains noticed the existence of the Kang Kingdom. It can be said that the Kang Kingdom stepped on the Shu Kingdom to become famous. Even if the Shu Kingdom won later, the [-] army could not be revived.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhang clenched the long knife in his hand, looked in the direction of Naqu City, and said slowly: "Command!"

"Whoever offers the head of Dao Tuo will be rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

"Yes!"

……

A loud noise came from the north gate, and the north gate of Qucheng was breached first. Wei Zhang narrowed his eyes and led his headquarters to rush towards Qucheng.

The enmity between the Kingdom of Kang and the Kingdom of Shu was quite deep, and the attacking army and the defending army engaged in a fierce battle.

When the blades intersected, with the piercing sound, blood splashed, there were stumps and broken arms, and screams.

The armored soldiers of the Shu Kingdom never stopped. After a gap was breached in Nagqu City, the Shu Kingdom's army rushed in like a torrent.

Wei Zhang led his troops into the city, because Wei Zhang was very conspicuous, and for a while he entered the army as if there was no one in the land.

None of Kang's soldiers were his all-in-one enemies. They were covered in blood, and all the troops avoided what they pointed at with their long knives.

Turning his head, Wei Zhang saw a white-haired veteran behind the army.

At this time, Daotuo was still in Qucheng, his eyes were sunken, and his whole body was much thinner, with a haggard appearance.

The long knife was tightly held in his withered hand, and he could only lift this knife at this moment.

"Let's go, general!"

The Shu army has already entered Qucheng, and it is meaningless to continue to hold on, it is better to preserve its strength.

Hearing the soldiers' remonstrance, Daotuo panted heavily, nodded and said, "Get out of Qucheng!"

Following Na Dao Tuo's order, the surviving members of the Kang Kingdom began to retreat.

The Kang soldiers following Wei Zhang saw Daotuo retreating at this time, and immediately said to Wei Zhang: "Those with long beards and white beards are also Daotuo."

"Ok!"

Killing the enemy in front with one blow, Wei Zhang shouted loudly, "The one with the long beard and white beard is Daotuo, kill the one with the long beard and white beard!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the middle of Shu stared at Daotuo's direction, and their eyes lit up.

Ok?
kill me?

At this time, Dao Tuo was out of breath, looked at Wei Zhang's direction, gritted his teeth, cut off his long beard and discarded it, and ran towards the south gate with the support of the soldiers beside him.

Unexpectedly, this scene happened to be seen by Wei Zhang, and Wei Zhang shouted in the direction of Daotuo: "The one with the white beard and short beard is Daotuo! Kill the one with the white beard and short beard!"

Hearing this, Dao Tuo, who already had bad legs and feet, staggered and almost fell down.

He stroked his beard, covered his face with one hand, and ran faster following the soldiers...

　I'm going to get a drip and come back. The next update will be around two o'clock.
