The last three kingdoms

Chapter 156
The gang leader took a large spoon to pour the meat soup from the marching pot into each soldier's bowl. The meat was so badly stewed that it was basically peeled off from the bones. Each soldier could get a big bowl of meat There is a thick layer of oil floating on the rotten minced meat, and it is shiny and greasy. The soldiers who have not tasted the taste of stew for a long time are eating this bowl of meat soup that lacks salt and vinegar. , I held it in my hand, and I didn't care whether it was burning my mouth, so I ate it with a sigh.

A soldier brought meat soup to Deng Ai and Deng Zhong. Deng Ai didn't seem to glance at the contents of the bowl. He picked up the bowl, raised his neck, and almost swallowed the bowl of meat soup in one gulp. down.

If it was in Longxi, Deng Zhong might not have the slightest interest in this bowl of stewed meat soup, but since he stepped on the Yinping Trail, Deng Zhong's food standard is no different from that of ordinary soldiers. He himself ate and lived with the soldiers, and Deng Zhong, as a major general, naturally couldn't be special. Deng Zhong also felt that this bowl of meat soup was particularly delicious.

However, Deng Zhong didn't gobble up like ordinary soldiers. As a member of the noble family, he sat and ate according to his appearance, and he paid attention to etiquette in everything.

Deng Zhong stirred the bowl with chopsticks, and suddenly he found a thin hard object floating in the bowl, and his face turned pale instantly. At this moment, all the doubts in his heart were solved, and he finally understood source of these foods.He suppressed the urge to vomit, put down the bowl, and ran to the back of a tent, vomiting profusely, almost vomited out the bitter bile.

Deng Ai came behind him, handed him a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "Useless things."

Deng Zhong wiped his mouth, his face was as pale as paper, and he said with shame, "Father, I'm sorry, I really can't help it."

Deng Ai's eyes were stern, and he said in a deep voice: "A man should do extraordinary things at an extraordinary time. We have no way out now. For the sake of the only three thousand remaining Yongliang children, we will lead them out of the Yinping path. Father has no choice!"

Deng Zhong looked up at his father, Deng Ai's gaze was so firm, his spine was always so straight, with iron-blooded will, he understood a lot in an instant.If you want to survive in adversity, there is nothing you can't do.

Deng Ai patted him on the shoulder and said: "Zhonger, this move for a father may be unacceptable to the world, but a father will never regret it. A father has only one belief, and that is to win!"

Deng Ai's eyes turned to the dark Jingjun Mountain not far away, cold and resolute.

At dawn, Wei Jun launched a new round of attack.

Although the Wei army had completely lost the crowds of the previous few days, their offensive was not inferior in the slightest, on the contrary, it was even better in momentum.Three thousand Wei soldiers lined up neatly, marching steadily towards Jingjun Mountain, no one backed down, no one was afraid, no matter how many robes fell around them, they still turned a blind eye to them and marched forward. .

Liu Yin gathered all the family soldiers on the first line of defense, and launched a desperate duel with the Wei soldiers who rushed up. All the weapons at the bottom of the box were used. Pour down.

This is destined to be a final contest.

At this point in the battle, fighting is all about will and blood. No one on either side takes half a step back. They seem to be gritting their teeth and persevering. Every breath of time, there are soldiers who continue to die, but death is no longer human. Fear, everyone is fighting with instinct, just like two exhausted professional boxers who are already crumbling in the boxing ring after fighting for twelve rounds, but are just holding on with instinct, waiting for their opponents to fall .

Zhang Le chopped down a Wei soldier who was rushing up with a knife, but more Wei soldiers continued to come forward one after another, killing them endlessly.

"Damn it, what on earth did these Wei people eat? They are so ferocious, so desperate to charge upwards? What a mess!"

Liu Yin didn't say a word, and commanded the soldiers to hold their positions, desperately blocking the mad attack of the Wei soldiers.

Liu Yin knew very well that this was Deng Ai's last madness. The blow that almost wiped out the entire army on the top of the mountain did not break Deng Ai's will. This Deng Ai is really not ordinary tough.

The current Wei Jun seems to be at the end of his battle, but he is not like this. To the end of the bloody battle, it is the will to fight. If you want to win this battle, it depends on whose will is stronger.

"Report to young master, Yuan Rong's crossbow arrows are exhausted!" A family soldier hurriedly reported to Liu Yin.

"Report to the young master, the gunpowder and arrows are also used up!" Another soldier followed closely behind and reported.

Liu Yin was taken aback, it was true that misfortunes never come singly, now at the last moment, the Yuan Rong crossbow and gunpowder arrows which were the main weapons of the battle were both exhausted, how will we fight the next battle?
"How many bamboo grenades are left?" Liu Yin asked back.

The family soldier in charge of ordnance immediately replied: "There is only about half a box."

The bamboo tube grenades are all packed in special wooden boxes, one hundred pieces per box, if there is only half a box left, there will only be fifty or sixty pieces, and although the Wei soldiers in front of us have died in countless battles, the rest are still fearless. After rushing up, fifty or sixty grenades alone could not solve it at all.

After losing the Yuan crossbow and firearms, the numerical disadvantage of the family soldiers will be highlighted immediately. In hand-to-hand combat, they will not occupy any advantage at all. Liu Yin made a decisive decision and ordered all the bamboo tube grenades to be distributed to the front-line family soldiers. , one in each hand, and throw them all at once.

Violent explosions followed one after another, instantly forming a line of fire at the front of the position, filled with gunpowder smoke, and the Wei soldiers who rushed to the front were all bloody and bloody, forming at least a separation zone of nearly a hundred steps.

Liu Yin decisively ordered to abandon the position and all retreat.

Zhang Le became a little impatient, and shouted: "Brother, we have worked so hard for this, why retreat, even if we run out of crossbows and firearms, we still have knives and guns, so we can still kill the enemy!"

Liu Yin looked at the 100 or so remaining people around him, took a deep breath, and said, "Without Yuanrong crossbows and firearms, the remaining Wei soldiers are enough to crush us. If we continue to fight, it will be a meaningless sacrifice. The significance of this is to retreat first, there are still Qingchuankou and Jiangyou Pass ahead, with Deng Ai's remaining troops, it is a daydream to escape!"

Zhao Zhuo said: "Brother, you retreat first, and I will stop later."

Liu Yin glanced at Wei Bing, who was forcing him over a hundred paces away, and said with a calm smile, "With Deng Ai's ten courage, he might not dare to chase after him."
