"Are you all full and drink?" On the afternoon of the next day, Meng You gathered everyone together and asked with a smile.

"I'm full, I'm full." Qian Jiu said: "The people are so enthusiastic that I can't burp."

"It's not because of the enthusiasm of others. It's clear that you scared them. They dare not be unenthusiastic. Just your face, no one who is not familiar with you is afraid of you." Zhang Hu smiled.

"Boss Zhang, you will destroy me!" Qian Jiu said angrily.

"Okay," Meng You said: "When you are disbanding, you are getting together to chat, let's talk about the main business first. There are also big food soldiers patrolling in the city. Do we want to intercept them?"

"Of course I have to be intercepted." Zhang Hu said immediately: "How can you let the big cannibal not kill?"

"Brother Meng, I don't think it should be intercepted." Fan Qi said: "Why do you have to risk the patrol soldiers at night when you can easily slaughter the big cannibals?" Although they were not afraid of death from the moment they decided to stand up and resist, it would be better to be alive.

"Fan Qi," Zhang Hu wanted to speak, but was stopped by Meng You. Zhang Hu opened his mouth and was afraid that he would offend people. There were only about twenty of them, so they could no longer hate each other.

"Fan Qi, I'm afraid I can't kill the big-seller tonight like last night." Meng You said to him: "We killed sixty people at one time. The big-seller general is not a fool. How could he not be prepared? The sneak attack tonight is probably not much different from the interception and killing now."

"Then what should we do." After hearing what Meng You said made sense, Fan Qi didn't know what to do.

"This," Meng You hesitated for a moment. He wanted to intercept the patrol soldiers, but there were probably people who thought like Fan Qi, and they might not believe his words, so it was hard to directly order them.

He was hesitating when he suddenly heard someone say, "I heard something at noon, which is very strange. The family I live in is actually working as a servant in the yamen. The great cannibals occupied the yamen and did not drive them all home. Although they could not get in touch with the secrets, they could also know something. The person went home for lunch and said that we would kill more than a hundred great cannibals."

"More than 100? Only 60? Could it be that some people went to kill people after they disperse?" Meng You glanced at the people present.

"No, I didn't. After I dispersed, I found a place to sleep, but I didn't go to kill the big cannibals anymore." Everyone said.

"Brother Meng, I don't. This is not a shameful thing. If I did, I wouldn't admit it." Fan Qi said.

"Then why do we kill more than a hundred people in the big cannibals?" Meng You said to himself: "Does you know that this news will reach our ears, so you won't tell the truth?"

"What's the use of this?" Danff said: "What's the use of exaggerating the number of people we killed?"

Meng You shook his head. He really couldn't think of exaggerating the number of people killed, what else could it be for beating his morale?

"I don't think about it anymore, I can't figure it out anyway." Zhang Hu said: "I'd better think about whether to intercept or kill the patrol cannibals first."

"I think," Meng You was about to analyze the pros and cons of intercepting and killing the patrol soldiers and killing the soldiers in the alley at night, so as to persuade everyone to agree to kill the patrol soldiers, but the person who was guarding the entrance of the alley suddenly shouted: "Brother Meng, something is wrong!"

"What's going on?" Meng You hurriedly walked over quickly and asked again.

"A lot of big food soldiers entered the city, as if they were going to do something." The man said.

"So many big cannibal soldiers have entered the city?" Meng You looked quietly and saw many big cannibals walking around, far exceeding the number of people patrolling in the morning. He couldn't help but wonder. "What are the big cannibals doing?" When he spoke, he felt something was wrong.

"Don't think about it for now. The big cannibal is coming to this alley. Let's hide first." Zhang Hu said.

Everyone hurriedly hid away. Many people wanted to enter the people's homes, but Meng You subconsciously felt that he could not hide in the people's homes, so he took them to the north near the warehouse. There were many warehouses of all sizes, which were very convenient to hide. Because the things had been moved away by the cannibals, they would not come here again.

They hid here for a long time until dark. During this period, Meng You wanted to go out and take a look, but after walking a few steps, they found that there were big food soldiers patrolling around. It was very difficult to bypass them and go to other alleys, so Meng You had to go back and continue to hide.

After it got dark, Meng You poked his head out again and found that there were no soldiers nearby. He hurriedly turned around and called everyone out together.

"The big food soldiers have withdrawn from the city? I want to see what they did in the afternoon." Zhang Hu said, standing outside the warehouse.

...

...

"All residents have evacuated?" Saleh asked Aziz.

"Yes, General." Aziz replied.

“Have the tent been distributed?”

“It has been distributed.”

Saleh asked a few more questions, and Aziz answered them one by one. Seeing that Aziz had arranged it well, he nodded and said, "You did a good job. Thank you for your hard work. I didn't take a few hours of rest yesterday. Today I have been busy since the early morning and have been busy until now. You can go back and rest."

"Thank you, General." Aziz hurriedly bent over and thanked him, and then saw that Saleh seemed to have nothing to say to him, and turned around and left the tent.

"Do I want to go to the place where the Qinnasteans are placed? No, I still won't go. They will definitely not be happy. If they go, they will only receive hatred eyes. They have no idea that if I were not here, all of them would have become dead bodies." Saleh said to himself.

"What I did was right. The army needed a logistics transfer base, which was much safer in the city than in the wild. All the Qinnasteans who were still resisting in the city must be killed."

Just as he was thinking, a messenger suddenly walked into the tent without permission and said in front of Saleh: "General, General Houmede has heard news that he has seized the United States City."

"So fast?" Saleh was very surprised. The distance between New City and American City was thirty miles, and the infantry had to walk for half a day just by walking. Hou Mead led his troops to leave at around 10 a.m. and arrived in the afternoon. It took a few minutes to capture the city?

"General, according to the report documents, General Houmede led the cavalry and craftsmen to go first, arrived at the American City at noon, surrounded the city, and ordered the craftsmen to dismount and build a catapult. After the infantry arrived, they used the catapult to launch stones to bombard a city wall, collapsed the city wall and sent troops into the city, occupying the city at 17:00 pm." The messenger said.

"So that's it. He can also be considered good at learning and applying it. But then it was Shaleye City. This city is a big city and the walls are very thick. It is impossible to hit it in with a catapult. However, as long as he surrounded Shaleye City and prevented the reinforcements of the Qinnasteans from entering the city or rescuing the siege, he completed the task assigned to him by the governor." Saleh said after hearing the messenger's words.

He said a few words to himself, and he was about to instruct the messenger to retreat. But he looked down at the man, feeling that he seemed to have nothing to say, and asked again: "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"General," the messenger took a deep breath and said, "After capturing the American City, General Houmede will also follow the general's approach to moving all the people in the city out. However, General Houmede did not organize it well, and almost evolved into a rape and plunder of the residents in the city."

"Oh!" Saleh sighed, "I knew! Everyone is like him, and good intentions can do bad things. Fortunately, when he conquers Shuye City, the governor should have arrived, so don't worry about him doing something wrong!"

"No," Salih said again, "Not only are there many people in the city, but there are also many farmers and herdsmen outside the city. According to Houmeide's approach, these people will probably be forced to the Qinnastean side of the people. I will destroy the people who are still resisting in the new city as soon as possible and go to Suiyecheng to persuade him."

"Go and call all the generals, and I have something to discuss with them."

...

...

"Empty, empty!" Zhang Hu shouted: "The whole city is empty!"

After leaving the warehouse area in Wan, Meng You led people into the alley and asked someone to ask what the big cannibal had done in the afternoon. But after they flipped into a yard, they found that there was no one there. Meng You looked carefully again and found that the residents were leaving in a hurry. Although they took away all the valuable things, many things were not available to clean up.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart, which made everyone disperse. After a while, everyone came back and said, "I can't find anyone, there is no one in all the yards." Zhang Hu even shouted that the whole city was empty.

"To kill us all, the Great Cannibal really took a lot of effort." Meng You didn't know whether the people in the city were placed outside the city or found a place to kill them, but no matter which method was done, it exceeded his expectations. He never thought that the Great Cannibal could invest so much in order to eliminate them.

"What should I do now?" Danf said in a panic.

"Yes, Brother Meng, what should I do?" Fan Qi also said. Although he was good at killing people secretly, there was no one in the city, and his methods were no longer used.

"Finally find something to eat." Meng You said: "We don't have a few kilograms of dry food in our hands, and we will lose it after a few meals. First, collect all the remaining grains, fruits, vegetables, and meat in each yard, and then bring oil, salt, sauce and vinegar from several yards. Let's have a meal first, and then discuss it after eating."

"Yes, eat first." Qian Jiu said: "I'm hungry, eat first."

Everyone dispersed and went to the yards of various families to search for food. Although the people tried to take away all the food when they left, the soldiers of the Dashi searched again later, but some were left. They went through two alleys and found about ten kilograms of noodles, a few kilograms of vegetables, and a little salt, and cooked on a stove that could not be moved away.

These twenty people are not from cooks and have never cooked at home, so many people don’t know how to cook them. Fortunately, Zhang Hu and a few older people have seen the wife at home cooking, and they barely cooked the dough. As for the dishes, they simply wash and eat them directly.

"We will have to eat this kind of meal in the next few days?" Qian Jiu forced a piece of cake to swallow and said with a bitter face.

"If you can catch a chef, we won't have to eat this." Fan Qi picked up a cucumber and swallowed half of it in one bite, and said.

"Can't you eat dry food?" Qian Jiu usually doesn't like eating dry food, but now he thinks dry food can be regarded as a delicious food in the world.

"Dry food will be stored for a long time. You have to eat all these things first before you can eat dry food." Meng You said, and then said to Fan Qi: "Don't just eat vegetables and vegetables, leave some for others. Moreover, vegetables and vegetables are not hungry, so you must eat cakes."

Fan Qi laughed and put down a carrot, and had to pick up a cake and start gnawing. From his expression, it can be seen that he doesn't like to eat it, but he doesn't complain.

While eating, Danfu looked at the noodle cake in his hand with disgust. He wanted to secretly take out the dry food to eat, but he didn't dare to, so he could only continue to eat the noodle cake.

After finally finishing the meal, everyone leaned against the wall to digest food. Qian Jiu asked again: "Brother Meng, what will we do in a while?"

"What else can I do? Let's go to bed." Fan Qi said: "The Great Cannibal will send troops to the city to destroy us tomorrow morning. I will have a good sleep tonight so that I will have the strength to deal with the Great Cannibal tomorrow."

"I'm thinking, let's find a way to leave the city." Another man said, "We must be very careful when we enter the city and attack us. We may not be able to kill a few big cannibals anymore. Why not try to leave the city. Anyway, we have already killed a hundred or dozens of big cannibals, and we won't lose money if we are beaten to death on the road."

"This," Meng You didn't know whether it was better to sleep and wait for the best time to deal with the cannibal tomorrow, or to break through, so she lowered her head and thought about it seriously.

"Brother Meng," Zhang Hu was about to say what he thought when he saw Meng You pondering. But after he had just said three words, he suddenly heard a scream. He quickly turned his head and saw that the man who was originally lying on the yard wall was caught in an arrow in his throat and fell off the wall. He saw that he was not alive.

"Go away!" Zhang Hu shouted immediately, calling him to grab the bow and arrow, carry the big food scimitar, and reach out to grab the window and go up to the roof.

But he just turned up the roof, and seven or eight arrows shot from both sides. Zhang Hu quickly turned over and avoided the arrows. But then several arrows shot from him. Zhang Hu had no choice but to turn down from the other side of the roof.

He had just landed on the ground and a few arrows chased after him. Zhang Hu hid in the room and saw that the front yard was opened. Two big food soldiers walked in. He quickly opened his bow and arrow to shoot one person to death. Another big food soldier suddenly screamed and was about to rush over. But at this time, an arrow shot from behind Zhang Hu and stabbed the big food man, and blood blew his mouth and fell to the ground.

"Danfu." Zhang Hu looked back and shouted happily: "You have entered the house too." He asked again: "Where are the others?"

"Where is this!" Fan Qi's voice came from the east room.

"Brother Fan Qi is in the east room, and Brother Qian Jiu is in the stream room. When I came in, I saw Brother Meng bringing a few people into the wing room. But the rest were all dead." Danfu said sadly.

Zhang Hu was about to speak when he suddenly saw several people jumping in the backyard, one of whom had already pulled the bowstring. "Be careful." Zhang Hu shouted, pressed Danfu to the ground, and hid to the right, and Jiang Jiang avoided the arrow.

The man didn't see it, and pulled the bowstring and wanted to shoot another arrow. But at this time, an arrow shot from the east room, hitting the man's heart. Zhang Hu looked to the east and saw Fan Qi killing another person, leaving one left. The remaining big cannibal immediately rushed into the room. Zhang Hu didn't have time to Zhang Gong, so he picked up something and threw it at him.

The man waved his knife to split the things he threw, kicked open the door that was only half closed, and was about to come in. Zhang Hu pulled out the scimitar and slashed his head. The man avoided and waved his knife to slash Zhang Hu's neck. But he was only halfway through the knife, and suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

"Thank you." Zhang Hu said, looking at Danfu who was pulling the knife out of the man's waist.

However, Danfu probably didn't hear these two words, and after drawing out the knife, he continued to deal with the Great Cannibal; Zhang Hu himself suddenly felt that these two words were a bit redundant, so he didn't say anything else, but just dealt with the Great Cannibal with Danfu.

Some people jumped down in the front and back yards to rush into the house several times, but they all killed them, and the bodies were lying in the yard. The cannibal had no choice but to deal with them for a moment, and the scene was in a stalemate.

But both Meng You in the wing room and Zhang Hu in the main room all understood that the final result of this stalemate was that they died in this yard. The big food soldiers were not endless, but they were always much more than them, and there were much more arrows than them. When their arrows were exhausted and people were exhausted to the extreme, they would surely die.

"Danfu," Zhang Hu suddenly shouted.

"Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"

"I'm sorry to you." Zhang Hu said in a low voice: "You shouldn't have come to Xincheng. It was me who told you about this and you followed you, but it turned out like this."

"How could this be Uncle Zhang's fault?" Danfu said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I can also know from others that I want to transfer troops to Xincheng. You didn't know in advance that the cannibals would suddenly go to war with us. I beg you, you won't agree. This is my own mistake and it has nothing to do with Uncle Zhang."

"But you are still young." Zhang Hu even wanted to cry, but although he held back, his voice was still low. "I am in my forties. I don't have to worry about my wife and children having Liu Qi, and my parents are in the Central Plains, so I don't have to worry about death."
