Chapter Twenty-Six: The Siege of Jinyang

In the past few days, the Hun soldiers outside the city have continued to launch waves of attacks, one wave of fighting, one wave of coming up, there is no way for people to have enough rest, Liu Kun has been on the city and has never come down. Everyone didn't know how many times they persuaded him to go down to the city to rest, he didn't listen, basically where there was danger, he went to block, Ran Zhan didn't close his eyes for a few nights, the Hun soldiers who climbed up to the city were nothing, come and kill one by one, I am afraid that those archers who are constantly guerrilla under the city are easy to dodge and difficult to defend against dark arrows.

Liu Qun managed the distribution of all the supplies, and Liu Yan continued to strengthen the fortification in the city. Ling Husheng is also training the militia and assigning troops to replace the sergeants at the head of the city, and everyone is busy. I also asked Xiao Lu to gather all the maids in the house, wash for the soldiers, sew clothes, and take care of the wounded, the city lord's mansion has become a concentration center for the wounded, I told Liu Yan about letting the women in the city participate in the rescue of the wounded, Liu Yan also released my news while stepping up the vigilance in the city, so every day women came to help, and many of the people took the initiative to make Hu Shengna join the army, after all, once the city was broken, the consequences were unimaginable.

Xu Run also gave full play to his celebrity bearing, every day he either played the piano or played songs, and did not disturb others, he enjoyed himself every day, but he was at peace with everyone, but his affairs reached the ears of the people, what else could he do except shake his head? Fortunately, everyone else is busy defending the city, no more than him, no less than him, no less than him, these people are also in the eyes, so no one is in the mood to pay attention to him for a while.

Outside the city

Shi Hu looked at this city that could not be taken for several days, and he was a little anxious, after all, he was only less than 16 years old, and it was the first time to lead troops to attack the city, but the military talent he had shown before had been recognized by everyone. This future Emperor Taizu Wu of Later Zhao, the biggest bloody executioner of the Han nationality, the first vicious battle was the offensive and defensive battle with Liu Kun, a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, and in the battle, Liu Kun only had the strength to defend, and I was also besieged in the city. And the ferocity and cruelty of this person will also grow with age, and the character will become more and more brutal......

Shi Hu glanced at the soldiers who looked a little tired from the siege of the city for days, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuation in his eyes, the soldiers saw Shi Hu like this, cold sweat flowed down, did this little general think of something more vicious?

"Listen to my military orders! Withdraw the troops of the four gates, they will not run away, they will flee early, they can escape before we come, and now they are desperately resisting because they don't want to leave at all, so they will definitely spend a long time with us, we will go to catch the homeless people tonight, you can enjoy them as you like, women, but don't kill them when you run out, I have all the use of these living homeless, hehe." After Shi Hu said this, his gaze at Jinyang City became even colder......

The next day at noon

I came to Liu Kun, a city wall defended by Ran Zhan, to give them and the soldiers a change of clothes and food, and by the way, to help the soldiers defending the city to bandage their wounds and transport the seriously wounded back to their homes.

This is the time for everyone to eat, and this is the only time of the day that everyone has a sense of being alive. From yesterday afternoon to noon today, the Huns in Simen retreated a lot, and even did not attack again, some soldiers were very happy, thinking that the Huns knew our strength and determination, and had retreated, and some soldiers felt that the Huns had retreated too bizarrely, and were not optimistic. But fortunately, everyone's morale is still very high.

Liu Kun changed into the white shirt I brought, and sat on the city wall with Ran Zhan, the fatigue and killing of the past few days made these two people almost reach the limit, Ran Zhan drank the multigrain porridge I handed over, took a big bite of the pancake, and his eyes flashed with gratitude to me. I watched these two gobble up, and my heart settled down a lot for some reason.

Suddenly, a large amount of sand and dust came out of the distance outside the city, and it was not until I got closer that I realized that it was a group of Hun soldiers who were surrounded by a group of homeless people, men, women and children, and babies in their arms, Hun cavalry with whips, ferociously waved at the defenseless homeless, and drove these poor people to Jinyang City.

The hearts of the sergeants and militiamen at the head of the city were tightly entangled, when these homeless people saw the city, they no longer needed the Huns to drive away, so they rushed to the city gate in a swarm, they wanted to live, the sound of crying and screaming, the miserable screams of children and babies, and the screams and fears of women, I couldn't help crying for a long time, and I really wanted to let them in......

Xiao Lu was already crying weakly, it was too miserable, and the Hun soldiers behind him would be hacked to death as long as they saw someone withdrawing. Where is the way to live, there is only this Jinyang City, but once the door is opened, there will be an army of the Huns, so vicious......

Liu Kun's face is becoming more and more pale, this person is a famous patriotic general in history, and he still cares for the people, looking at these homeless people, his heart is also dripping blood, but the decision he makes now will affect the lives of the entire people of Jinyang City and all the soldiers, these unarmed people, what should I do?

Ran Zhan's heart was also twitching, he was the leader of the beggar army, he knew too well what kind of life the homeless people lived, especially the homeless people who dragged their families with their families, in order to survive, they no longer had any dignity, as long as they could live, as long as the children could live, what could not be done?

Some of the soldiers who resisted the city gate had begun to become agitated, and it was impossible for anyone to remain indifferent to such a scene......

"Ran Zhan, you go to the city gate, who dares to leave their posts without permission, and correct the law on the spot!" , Liu Kun's face was a little distorted, how much perseverance and determination does it take to give such an order?

Ran Zhan didn't say anything, because he knew that Liu Kun's decision was correct, so he immediately led a team of people down the city wall to the city gate, and the cold sword made those who had sympathy retreat......

I sat on the city wall with my back to the thick wall, how could my heart bear such suffering, even if I had the experience of a lifetime, I had never experienced such misery, I was crying uncontrollably, Xiao Lu was crying next to me, the sad voice faintly called my mother's ......, helpless, desolate, the complete wail of the sky, my heart was fleeing, I couldn't face all this......

Liu Kun grabbed me, hugged me, and let me look at the miserable homeless people below, I struggled, I didn't want to look down, Liu Kun pinched my face without pity, and let me look directly at the miserable situation below, I could only close my eyes, I hated Liu Kun so much......

"Mingyue, look at it, these are the people of the Great Jin Dynasty, as a princess, you have the most noble bloodline, but you have never known the suffering of the people, you have not really experienced what life is better than death, you have superhuman wisdom, maybe one day you will do something for the whole world, but first you must carefully show me how these homeless people died!" , Liu Kun's voice became louder and louder, I slowly opened my eyes, tears couldn't stop flowing, I saw Xiao Lu also looking at me with tears, and didn't come forward to help me out, that look was exactly the same as Liu Kun's eyes......

I didn't struggle anymore, I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the displaced people in the city, the horrific scene will be deeply imprinted in my life, my body trembling uncontrollably......

"The people under the city have listened, leave your children behind, we will raise them for you, all the adults turn around, you see that the Hun soldiers behind you are not, drag them down, give us time to open the city to receive your children, if I see an adult who wants to storm the city gate, then we will no longer accept these children's ......", Liu Kun's words were cold and emotionless, but they did work.

The homeless people heard the orders repeated by the sergeants at the head of the city, and there was a glimmer of hope in their desperate eyes, and the parents were saying goodbye to their children, and all the adults, whether they were children or not, turned around, and they looked at the Hun cavalry unarmed, and there was no longer fear......

I watched the death of these outcasts, my heart was broken, watching them attack the Hun cavalry to the death, just to buy some time for the people in the city to accept the children, I hate it so much, damn the Huns, I shouted hysterically: "I! Princess Mingyue of the Sima clan! Swear to the heavens, pay the debt with blood, and never die!!!!!! My red eyes and body that seemed to have been drained of all its strength fell into Liu Kun's arms, and I fainted......

The Huns did not expect such a thing to happen, they were originally impressed by the little general's clever plan, and they wanted to wait for the city gate to open and go in to burn and loot it, but now they saw the crazy appearance of these homeless people desperate for death, and made a little messy.

Shi Hu looked at the scene in front of him, and did not have any emotional fluctuations, for him, war was meant to kill people, and when it came to the battlefield, anything that could be used, including people's psychology, as long as they could win, it didn't matter how many people died and how to die......

Just as he personally rushed into the homeless people to enjoy the thrill of the slaughter, my roar was heard by him, Shi Hu suddenly looked up at the direction where the voice came from, and the figure of a little girl came into view, although it was only a vague appearance, but it had already shocked Shi Hu, he had seen too many women as a teenager, but when he saw Mingyue, he still whispered in his heart: "It's really beautiful...... Or a princess...... Hehe......"

For three days and three nights, I was still in a coma, which made many people anxious......

Little Green has never left me for a single step, since I said that, Little Green has taken care of me meticulously, and she didn't let anyone help me change my clothes, and personally took care of all my daily life and food, of course, my secret was also known to her, and when she saw that little thing, the girl's face was not only shy but also a little surprised......

When I woke up, I found that all the clothes on my body had been changed, and only Midori was by my side. Looking at Xiao Lu's shy appearance, I said helplessly: "You know everything? ”

"Hmm," Midori's voice was soft.

I looked at her helplessly, but there was no trace of murderous intent in my heart, and when I looked into her eyes, my own thoughts drifted away.

Seeing my helpless look, Xiao Lu immediately said obediently: "Childe...... Well, princess, no one else will know about it anymore, Xiao Lu is willing to serve his son for the rest of his life."

The bitter smile in my heart is known only to myself, I smiled at Xiao Luwei, and slowly said: "If others knew, I would die, and you couldn't live, do you understand?" ”

"I understand", Xiao Lu heard my words, the only concern in her heart has been dispelled, what she is most afraid of is that the person in front of her does not want to see her again, as for the rest, she is willing to keep this secret for the rest of her life, this secret that only she and him know......
