When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 420 Hunger Makes People Crazy
Looking at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao's command in front of him, the smile on Zhang Fei's lips froze instantly. He and the other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured down their hearts, and their eyes became extremely solemn.

The man in front of him with disheveled hair and slumped on the ground was the squad leader of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

But judging from the appearance alone, even Zhang Fei could not be sure of the man's identity. It was not because Zhang Fei was short-sighted. He could not call out the soldiers' names accurately like Liu Bei, but he could tell the surnames of his soldiers by looking at their appearance and listening to their voices.

All in all, there is a huge difference between this man before and after. There is not a single piece of good meat on his body, his cotton armor is gone, and the spare leather armor is put on a man. Judging from the man's appearance and his empty arms, he should be an ordinary citizen.

There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on the sergeant's body, which was covered with shocking wounds. There was no blood on his face, and his lips were chapped and pale. When he saw Zhang Fei, he tried to support himself with his scarred arms, preparing to salute Zhang Fei.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei stopped the sergeant and called a doctor.

After the doctor's preliminary diagnosis, the captain was not fatally injured. Compared with the wounds on his body, his empty abdomen was the culprit that caused him to be in such a state.

"General Sansan, I...I have something important to report to you," the sergeant said weakly.

Zhang Fei stuffed the naan and water into the captain's arms and said, "No matter what the matter is, eat first."

After saying this, he signaled with his eyes to the guards beside him. He looked at the naan and water, and then at the people sitting slumped beside him.

The guard hesitated for a moment before realizing that Zhang Fei meant to give some dry food to the man.

Looking at the naan and water in his hands, the sergeant didn't know where he got the strength from, and began to eat the naan with big mouthfuls of water. Before he chewed the last piece of naan and swallowed it, he couldn't wait to say, "Third General, Captain Cao is in danger!"

Zhang Fei frowned slightly, thinking to himself that something was wrong, but he did not make any noise to disturb them.

After listening to Shi Chang's story, Zhang Fei finally understood the whole story. It turned out that Cao Cao advanced recklessly and was defeated by Zhang He, so he fled to the mountains.

It was also Cao Cao's bad luck. He escaped from the tiger's mouth but then fell into a wolf's den, and now he was trapped in the mountains by the bandits.

As for the others, they all died at the hands of the villains.

Thinking of Cao Cao's actions, Zhang Fei's blood pressure rose a lot. He really wanted to scold Cao Cao, "How dare you chase Zhang He?" Even if you chased him, you shouldn't be so reckless, right? As a result, so many people were sacrificed. Whose lovers, whose sons, whose fathers and brothers were they?"
While being angry, Zhang Fei was also a little glad that Cao Cao did not become the Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

As for those thieves
There was a hint of coldness in Zhang Fei's eyes. Not to mention the friends who besieged his eldest brother, he just turned his butcher knife on the fleeing civilians and killed his soldiers. In Zhang Fei's eyes, this bastard was not even a human being. He was simply a bastard of the worst. He wished he could cut this beast into pieces!
"Order the troops to march quickly and lightly, follow me to rescue Captain Cao, and at the same time wipe out these man-eating beasts!"

At this moment, Zhang Fei's words were full of coldness, and he completely threw away his previous calmness, but no one spoke up to remind Zhang Fei.

From ordinary soldiers to generals, everyone was indignant and responded to Zhang Fei with the loudest voice, "Yes!"

The man who was following the captain and leading the way for him laughed heartily at this moment, "Hahaha, great revenge has been taken, great revenge has been taken!"

The man started crying while laughing, his tears rolled down and he cried like a tearful man.

"hiss--"

General Dong, who was sitting in the camp, suddenly shuddered. He felt a chill down his spine for no apparent reason. He subconsciously murmured, "Could it be that the curtain is not closed?"

When he raised his eyes, he saw the closed tent.

He frowned and muttered to himself, "This is so weird, there's no wind, why do I feel cold?"

Before General Dong could figure out what was going on, a messenger hurriedly pushed open the curtain and rushed into the tent.

"Report! General, after several days of fierce fighting, the bandits on the top of the mountain are exhausted! We will be able to capture the top of the mountain by noon today at the earliest, or dusk today at the latest!"

"Hahaha! Good, good!" General Dong forgot the coldness just now in an instant. He laughed loudly, slammed the table and shouted: "Give me my armor! I will kill the bandit leader with my own hands today!"

"promise!"

However, when General Dong walked out of the tent with great strides, another messenger stumbled in front of him.

"Hmm? What's up?!"

"Great General, something bad has happened! There's a black guy with a full beard challenging us from outside!"

"Blackie?" General Dong was startled and thought to himself: Could it be that what they said was right? Did the enemy really send reinforcements?
His palms were sweaty, and he had trouble holding the weapon, but he still asked, "How many people are there on the other side?"

"The black man who challenged us seems to be leading a thousand people."

Hearing the messenger's answer, General Dong laughed out loud, "I thought it was Zhang Yide who came, but it turns out there are only a thousand men! There is nothing to be afraid of, warriors, come on! Let me fight this black fellow! Whoever kills more enemies will be rewarded!"

"promise!"

mountain top.

Cao Cao felt dizzy and felt light-headed when he walked. His stomach kept protesting, making his already exhausted body even worse.

He was still too optimistic and thought that killing horses and eating horse meat would be enough to get by.

However, in order to defend against the attack of the bandit army, the consumption of food and fodder was undoubtedly very high. Not to mention horse meat, even the few dry food supplies were consumed in the past few days. Yesterday, even the wild vegetables were at the point where there was nothing left to dig.

They have really been reduced to eating leaves and gnawing on tree bark.

But eating leaves and gnawing on tree bark doesn't help. I'm still hungry.
Hunger was really a torture. It made him dizzy, it made him stagger, it made him feel like dying, and it made him have this thought more than once: should he just follow the method that the thief had used before?
"Snapped--"

Every time this thought came to his mind, Cao Cao would slap himself hard, and scream hysterically in his heart, if I really do this, wouldn't I be the same as a thief? ! I would rather die than associate with thieves!

"Captain." Zhang Xiu took weak steps and spoke in a weak voice.

Cao Cao also squeezed out his little strength, and asked with a pale face, saying every word carefully: "What's the matter, Sima?"

"Good news. The enemy's offensive has weakened."

"Bad things are about to be unstoppable"

Silence, deathly silence. Cao Cao held the hilt of his sword, as if he had made up his mind. He said, "Sima, please accompany me to hold the last line of defense."

"Yes." Zhang Xiu agreed. Although his voice was still weak, Cao Cao felt it was as heavy as a rock.

Even the civilians who were able to move stood up, followed Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, and stared at the entrance in front of them.

However, as they waited, Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu felt it was becoming increasingly strange that no one showed up after waiting for so long.

"?"

"Wait a minute, what is that?!!"
