After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 97
A basket of improvised bombs did not repel the [-] army of Beimang, but caused relatively large casualties to the Beimang army.

Most of them were the casualties caused by the trampling on each other when the northern soldiers were hiding from bombs.

When there are no more bombs to throw in the city, the bloody battle really begins.

When the city was broken, there were less than a hundred soldiers of the Baiyun Kingdom who could stand, and they were all dripping with blood, and it was hard to tell whose blood it was.

The knife and gun in his hand had long been curled or broken, and could only be used as a firestick.

With the only men under his command, Zhong Lishuang fought a bloody path with great vigor, and retreated into the Huiyan Mountain Range under the heavy pursuit of the Northern Mang soldiers.

The Beimang people who were chasing him did not chase after seeing people running into the mountains, but returned to Luokou City to snatch the treasure.

...

The empty city of Luokou has long since been emptied, and the valuables have long been taken away by the people.

The Beimang people, who had nowhere to vent their anger, set fires everywhere in the city. An ancient border city with a history of hundreds of years was burned and turned into ruins.

Including him, everyone is wounded, no food, no medicine, nowhere to go, this is their predicament at this time.

Shi Gang and the seriously wounded had a tragic look on their faces. Looking at the Northern Mang army approaching the city, Shi Gang actually smiled in relief.

Not to mention this war that lasted for more than two months, Yunze Mansion and the imperial court did not reinforce a single soldier or food. "The general Ping Deyi said.

Zhong Lishuang, who retreated into the forest, counted the soldiers who followed, and there were only 15 soldiers left.

But at the most critical moment, they abandoned General Changsheng and fled the city.

Zhong Lishuang believes that as long as he enters the mountain, he will be able to find medicine to heal his wounds.

"General, Luokou City may have been abandoned by the Yunze Mansion long ago, so they are just waiting to make a fuss about us.

Because they neither want to die nor drag their families down, there may be a way out following the general.

In troubled times, common people whose lives are as cheap as mere trifles pin their only hope on the Son of Heaven who is aloof.

Ma Yuan, Pu Wu, Luo Haodang, Ping Deyi, and Qu Xingjin followed without hesitation.

A group of soldiers who thought they could get reasonable treatment when they returned to Yunze Mansion, but they got nothing.

Lin Li looked at Zhong Lishuang in disbelief. The General Chang Sheng in his mind was young, but he was a good general who loved soldiers.

At this time, we can only heal the injury and then plan to get rid of it.

Zhong Lishuang tore a piece of obscene cloth into strips, temporarily bound the wounds on his arms and legs, so as not to bleed too much to death.

"General, I am willing to swear to die with you!

The war in the north is everywhere, and a large number of refugees fleeing from the famine and the army flock to Yundu, and some people go south to the Jiangfu Plain.

As soon as this group of people left, the gates of the two major cities in the north and south were closed tightly, and no one was allowed to go out.

If the army is defeated and the city is broken, according to the law of the current dynasty, going back is death, and it will drag down the family.

With its gates tightly closed, Yunze Mansion has gathered [-] soldiers and horses to garrison here.

In the end, they had no choice but to obediently pay the required supplies, and the people of Luokou City who had their land scraped did not understand how kind General Changsheng was to them.

If the general hadn't taken us to thresh grain and hay, our family would have starved to death eight hundred times.

Going back is also death, so it's better to go to the rivers and lakes from now on, and be a person in the rivers and lakes who is happy with grievances and enmities. "Guard Qu Xing relished.

"General, are you really not going back? Are the brothers dying?"

In the end, the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and their worries for their families made them choose to report back to Yunze Mansion.

Sweat soaked the burning pain in the wound, since he wanted to take off this identity, he would no longer wear this obvious sign.

"General, I don't want to work for the imperial court anymore, the current emperor is incompetent and doesn't care about the suffering of the people at all.

Shi Gang, who didn't want to be a shield, fell face down on the city wall without any struggle.

A man of the right age who is a scholar and has a reputation for raising people can be exempted from military service, but he has to pay 20 taels of silver.

It is impossible to set foot in Dachengchi for a short period of time, and in the future it is bound to change its identity to walk outside, and it happens that it has never shown its face in front of people.

The seriously wounded who supported each other, either crawled, turned over, or fell to the ground, and followed Shi Gang away together.

After learning the news that the city was broken and the general and all the soldiers died for the country, he was in pain.

Zhong Lishuang took off the broken armor on his body and threw it on the ground. Wearing this thing in the sweltering weather, he could get prickly heat all over his body.

When the news of Luokou City's destruction reached Yunze Mansion, the Northern Mang Army, who had burned, killed and looted all the way, had already approached the city.

...

Even those generals who keep private soldiers, it is impossible for them to disperse their forces before the decisive battle.

In the end, they failed to escape the fate of being forced to go to the top of the city as targets. A group of iron-blooded men followed their comrades who died in battle with disappointment and tragic hearts.

Officials and wealthy families who got the news immediately fled Yunze mansion.

"What are your plans, tell them all!" Zhong Li looked at the Luokou City Road with thick smoke billowing down the mountain.

As soon as this order came out, the people in the city complained, but they couldn't resist the shining sword.

Young and middle-aged men in the city were conscripted on the spot, and non-disabled men between the ages of 50 and [-] all went to the top of the city to fight against the enemy.

Life can only be called a real person if the master is in his own hands. "

Fortunately, all the people in the city were evacuated. Although it was a bit chilling, it also saved many innocent lives.

Shi Gang and a group of seriously wounded people supported each other, and suddenly stood at the front of the city, followed by groups of Yunze Mansion soldiers holding bows.

"I did everything I could for them, it's up to them whether they survive.

The capital of a country is the safest place for most people, and the emperor can always earn a living at the feet of the emperor.

Those who are willing to go back to Yunze Mansion or other places, we will leave here. "

Every household in the city has to donate food and materials.

On the main streets of the city, several joint announcements from the masters of the Futai and the generals defending the city were posted.

Zhong Lishuang didn't have the ignorant idea of ​​trading his own life for the lives of others.

The head of Yunze Mansion.

Zhong Lishuang became more and more determined to take off the brilliance on his body and become an ordinary person from now on.

Maybe none of the seriously wounded who returned to Yunze Mansion could be saved. "Lin Li said in a deep voice.

"General, I will go wherever you go!" Ma Yuan said with blood dripping from his face.

"Those who want to go back to Yunze Mansion, take Xizhao Town to Ping'an Village, it is the fastest way back to Yunze Mansion.

All materials needed to defend the city must be donated free of charge.

"General, the last general will come to accompany you soon!"

The remaining ten people stood there, hesitating, not knowing what to choose.

...

We have been guarding the border for many years, and we haven't even returned home once, and the time is even more intermittent.

We went off like this, sure to be accused of running away.

Holding his half iron gun shaft, he sank into the forest.

There are few generals who can send the seriously wounded to the back of the city before the battle, and there is no one in the entire Baiyun Kingdom.

The ten people from Lin Li, who will not be able to enter the city in the future, hid in the distance and saw their seriously injured comrade commit suicide and die.

Loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and family members all vanished into nothingness. I just wish I could grow two more legs and stay far away from this evil Yunze Mansion.

The ten people left the place quietly, and returned to the Huiyan Mountains by the same route.

They wanted to catch up with the traces of Zhongli Shuang and the six people, but they couldn't find them for a while. The ten people could only find a place to heal their wounds first, and then plan the next road.
