Chapter 1168: Sooner or Later, You Have to Die

Wielding his long sword, Yuan Tan at the head of the city shouted loudly while slashing at Cao Jun who was blocking him.

A Cao soldier held a shield and blocked a sword that Yuan Tan had chopped down.

Yuan Tan slashed his sword into the shield in his hand, and the soldiers of the Cao army could feel the hand holding the shield tingling under the slash of the sword.

Just as the numbness in his wrist had just subsided, and he was about to carry the short spear towards Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan raised his right foot and kicked it towards his shield.

This kick was fierce and very, Cao Jun, who was holding a shield, slammed the shield to the side in his hand, and sat on the ground with his buttocks.

Before he could turn over and get up, Yuan Tan had already stepped forward, holding a long sword, and stabbed him hard in the heart.

The blood-stained sword pierced the heart of the Cao soldier's heart and leaked out from his back.

Cao Jun, who was pierced through the heart by the long sword, was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yuan Tan with a murderous face covered in blood.

Inserting the long sword into Cao Jun's heart, Yuan Tan immediately pulled out the sword violently, and at that moment, he didn't forget to raise his foot and kick it on Cao Jun's shoulder.

Blood splattered on his chest, and Cao Jun fell to the ground, his body twitched twice, and then he didn't move again.

Yuan Tan, who was holding a long sword, was about to rush towards another Cao army, when a loud roar suddenly came from behind him, and a Cao soldier with a short spear poked him in the back of the heart.

Hearing the roar, Yuan Tan hurriedly turned around.

The short spear in Cao Jun's hand was already close to his heart, and it was about to poke into his body.

There was no way to avoid it, and at the moment when he was almost desperate, Cao Jun, who was carrying a short spear, was stunned, and the short spear raised high failed to fall.

When Cao Jun's body fell to the ground crookedly, what appeared behind him was Guo Tu, who was also covered in blood.

As a scribe, Guo Tu did not retreat in this battle, and he was also determined to die.

Nodding to Guo Tu, Yuan Tan held his long sword and let out another roar of rage, pounced on the nearest piece of Cao Jun.

From dawn to sunset.

Cao's army attacked the city several times, but was finally repelled by Yuan's army on the city wall.

The setting sun hung at the end of the horizon, and the ground was covered with orange light.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the blood stains on the city wall of Liyang became more and more shocking.

At the foot of the city wall are piles of Cao Jun's corpses.

After attacking the city for several days, the Cao army did not collect the corpses of the dead soldiers at all, but fortunately, in the early spring when the weather was relatively cold, although the corpses were piled up, they did not emit a foul smell.

On the city wall, there are also patches of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun who died in battle.

The bluestone-paved city wall has been stained red with blood, and when people walk on it, their feet will make a soft "pop" sound.

The soldiers of the Yuan army, who repelled the attack of the Cao army, piled up the corpses of the Cao army and stacked them into small stacks behind the battlements.

The stones on the city have been completely exhausted, and the soldiers of the Yuan army could have thrown Cao Jun's corpse directly out of the city, but Yuan Tan thought that in this kind of situation, although Cao Jun's corpse is not as hard as the stones, it can be thrown from the city, and it can also smash the Cao army who climbed the ladder.

Cao Jun, who was still bravely climbing the city during the day, became a weapon used by Yuan's army against their Tongze after he was killed in battle.

After one battle after another, the casualties of the Yuan army on the city wall were also extremely heavy.

The Yuan army who died in the battle was carried by the Tongze people to the open space in the city and buried on the spot, and the seriously injured Yuan army was carried to the city and temporarily cared for by the women temporarily recruited in the city.

Minor injuries did not affect the fighters, but they stayed on the city wall, waiting for the next round of attacks by the Cao army.

With his back against the battlements, a Yuan soldier tore a strip of cloth from his shirt and wrapped it around the wound on his arm.

The wound was deep, and the strips of cloth wrapped around the soldiers of the Yuan army were quickly soaked with blood.

He wrapped one hand, and after six or seven times, he bit the end of the strip of cloth with his teeth and pulled it tightly before tying a slipknot.

The strip of cloth that tightly strangled the wound prevented the flow of blood, and Yuan Jun, who had bandaged himself properly, leaned his back against the battlements, raised his face and closed his eyes, wanting to take advantage of the calm before the war to recuperate his spirit.

"Brother, it's time to eat!" Just as he closed his eyes, another Yuan soldier ran over and handed him a thick piece of bread.

This cake is not made with white flour, but with soba flatbread.

The cake looked a little black, and the fingers of the soldiers of the Yuan army pinching it pinched it, and they also left a few bright red bloody fingerprints on the cake.

Glancing at the cake handed to him, Yuan Jun, who had bandaged his wound before, took it, and regardless of whether there was blood on it, he opened his mouth and bit off a piece fiercely.

"Brother, when did you say Cao Jun would come up?" sat next to him, and Yuan Jun, who handed the cake, asked him.

"What the hell are you doing?" Turning his head and glaring at his brother, Yuan Jun, who injured his arm, said: "Cao Jun has surrounded Liyang like a bucket, and there are no reinforcements outside, so I will ......die sooner or later."

"If you are going to die sooner or later, what are you going to do?" Yuan Jun, who was next to him, took a bite of the cake and muttered, "Just hand over Liyang to Cao Jun!" ”

"You are willing to kneel on the ground and be cut like a dog by Cao Jun, I don't want to!" Glaring at his brother, Yuan Jun, who had an injured arm, said angrily: "Even if you die, you have to pull a few more pads!" ”

Yuan Jun, who was sitting on the side, didn't say anything more.

In his opinion, it's all a death anyway, and as for how to die, it doesn't matter.

All he thought about was his parents, wife and children at home.

"Homesick again?" Seeing a touch of loneliness on his face, Yuan Jun, who injured his arm, asked him softly.

"Hmm!" nodded, just responded, and Yuan Jun, who had just gone to get the cake, did not say anything more.

"There will be no more conquests in the world, and there will be no more soldiers in the next life!" With a sigh, Yuan Jun, who injured his arm, patted his brother lightly on the shoulder and said to him: "If our brothers are still brothers in the next life, they will both buy a few acres of land and accompany women and children all day long, so that they can live a good life." In this life, I'm afraid I have to explain it in Liyang! ”

Although the soldiers of the Yuan army at the head of the city knew that they would definitely die here after a long time, few of them had the idea of surrendering in their hearts.

Yuan Tan said to them very clearly, defending Liyang will die sooner or later, what they are doing is nothing more than killing a few more Cao Jun before they die, so as not to be slaughtered like pigs.

The soldiers sat on the bloodstained city and ate war meals, and Yuan Tan also sat against a battlement.

In front of him was not a buckwheat cake like a soldier, but a yellow, orange and orange rice.

On top of a large bowl of small rice, there are also a few slices of fatty white meat.

Holding this bowl of rice in his hand, Yuan Tan beckoned to a nearby soldier of the Yuan army.

Seeing him beckoning, the soldier hurriedly approached and stood aside with his fists clenched.

Standing beside Yuan Tan, the soldiers of the Yuan army who were clenching their fists were glancing at the few pieces of white meat on the bowl and swallowing their saliva.

Cao's army has been attacking the city for a few days, and in these days, the grain and grass in the city have been depleted quite quickly, and the soldiers have not eaten a little meat for several days.

Looking up at Yuan Jun, Yuan Tan handed him the bowl of corn and meat.

Seeing Yuan Tan handing him the bowl, the Yuan soldier was taken aback, where did he dare to take it, and hurriedly knelt on the ground with his legs bent, trembling slightly.

Yuan Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, was terrified in his heart, and he thought that Yuan Tan had noticed his eyes and deliberately handed him the bowl.

"Take it and share it with someone else!" Taking the soldier's hand, Yuan Tan handed the bowl to him and said to him: "General Ben doesn't like to eat corn, but he also likes to eat buckwheat cakes." ”

Stuffing the bowl to the soldier, Yuan Tan said to the soldiers on the side: "Go and get two buckwheat cakes for General Ben." ”

"General...... This ......" Looking at the corn rice in the soldier's hand, Yuan Tan's personal soldiers were a little hesitant whether to go and get him buckwheat cake.

"What, this, that! From this day on, the general will eat whatever the soldiers eat! Glaring at the soldiers, Yuan Tan roared, "Go!" ”

"No!" was yelled at by Yuan Tan, and the pro-soldier responded, and quickly ran to get him buckwheat cakes.

Yuan Jun, who was holding the corn, knelt on the ground and looked at Yuan Tan, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he was actually a little choked.

He has been following Yuan Tan for a long time, and he has never seen this general so sympathetic to the soldiers, he actually gave him corn, but he wanted to eat buckwheat cakes.

"Let's eat!" Waving his hand at the soldier, Yuan Tan gave an understatement of his order.

"No!" Moved in his heart, the soldier of the Yuan army, who was holding the corn, answered, stood up from the ground, bowed and took two steps back, before turning around and walking towards the place where he was sitting just now.

"Brothers, the general's reward for meat and corn!" When he arrived at the few Yuan soldiers who were sitting with him just now, the soldier held the bowl and said to the Yuan soldiers: "Everyone eat together!" ”

The meal was sent by Yuan Tan, and at first several Yuan Jun didn't dare to come up to eat, and they looked at Yuan Tan with apprehension in their eyes.

Seeing that Yuan Tan didn't look at them, one of them picked up a piece of white meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Fatty white meat, if eaten by people who are used to eating meat, must be difficult to swallow.

But the soldiers of the Yuan army have not eaten meat and greasy taste for several days, and it is undoubtedly an extremely satisfying delicacy for them.

Someone picked up the first piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and several other Yuan Jun hurriedly took meat from the bowl.

Yuan Jun, who was holding the bowl, was also quick-eyed, and before the meat was snatched up, he also grabbed a piece and quickly filled it into his mouth.

A few Yuan soldiers were like wolves, but in the blink of an eye, a bowl of corn and meat was swept away by them.

The other Yuan Jun in the distance, seeing them gobbling up, all of them were salivating with greedy mouths, but they were helpless.
