"Is it necessary?" Even though he knew it was inevitable, Xiao Jiu subconsciously asked the captain Jin Ju beside him. Jin Ju blew his nose and held back his nausea, saying, "If the commander makes it difficult for the master to swallow, you will do it for you." After saying that, he glanced at the corner of his eyes and looked at the three hot pots on the top of the city, and another nausea was felt in his belly.

In order to completely anger the Song army and to let the soldiers guarding the city have no way to retreat, Chen De once gave Xiao Jiu a last resort. What Chen De said was that Tubo and the Tang army competed for Lianyun Fort. In order to attack the morale of the Tang army under the city, Tubo army pulled the captured Tang army up to the city wall, opened the belly in public, and then shared it with it, which not only increased the enemy's fear, but also cut off the idea of ​​rebellion and surrender within the defenders. After five days and five nights of battle, the original tens of thousands of people in Changzhou were defeated.

Nearly half of the remaining soldiers were injured and killed. Last night, there was an incident where soldiers defending the city walls left the city to surrender to the Song army. Xiao Jiu had to use this method. However, Xiao Jiu himself also felt that it was too beastly and bloody, and suggested that Xiao Jiu could use the body of the Song army who died in battle on the city wall instead, and then let all the soldiers of the army eat in front of the enemy outside the city. In this way, the Song and Wu coalition forces would inevitably hate the defenders, and the army in the city naturally lost the idea of ​​surrendering to the city.

The Song and Wu coalition forces in the city were about to attack the city, but suddenly saw the Tang army on the top of the city setting up three large pots and boiling hot soup. They did this cruel thing under the attention of ten thousand people. They were all indignant and pointed at the city wall and cursed. After seeing that the bodies of the soldiers were Song army's clothing, the vanguard commander Ding Deyu shouted loudly that he would never leave prisoners in this battle.

Qian Chu, the King of Wu Yue, looked at the scene on the city with a serious expression. Some of the soldiers around him showed anger on his face, but more of them showed fear. In the war with foreign races outside the pass, he had heard of both sides' live and stripped prisoners, but he had not done anything to this point in the battle in Jiangnan. No matter what the result of this battle, the master guarding the city was completely ruined. As long as he did not go to the barbarians outside the border, it could be said that the world was almost invincible.

Wherever he paid such a great price, he just wanted to show that he was coercing the soldiers to fight to the death with his side. However, if the defenders in the city were really determined to fight to the last soldier and still fought with the trapped beasts, it would not only be a problem if they could take the Changzhou City within ten days, but even if they could capture this city in the future, there would probably be a few of their soldiers and soldiers. Thinking of this, Qian Chu sighed long and could not understand why the master guarding the city would take this worst.

Xiao Jiu took the big bowl of broth handed over by his personal soldiers with expressionless expression, took a big sip, swallowed it hard, and then looked at each Tang army officer with a sip, then returned to the city tower to rest. After leaving everyone's sight, Xiao Jiu could no longer help, lay on the ground and vomited in big mouthfuls, and subconsciously used his hands to snatch it into his throat, and he wanted to turn the entire cavity over and wash it.

"Sir," Jin Ju handed him a dirty boutique from behind. Xiao Jiu took it and wiped his mouth and started vomiting again. After three more times, he stopped and sighed with a sigh: "From now on, Xiao Jiu's appearance is no different from a beast in the eyes of the world."

"If the bodies of these soldiers were **, they could stop the Northern Army from slaughtering Jiangnan. My subordinates thought that Lord Xiao was a great act of righteousness and a true hero." Jin Ju shouted loudly, frowned and suppressed his stomach, and said, "To be honest, I have been a water thief before. Once, the subordinates were trapped on a small island for several months. The injured brothers next to him died one after another. Later, my subordinates were rescued by eating their remains." This was originally a secret that Jin Ju was about to take to the grave. He had been suppressed in his heart and was very taboo, but today the soldiers guarding the city ate the broth, which greatly alleviated his psychological pressure and actually told Xiao Jiu.

Seeing Xiao Jiu looking at him incredibly, Jin Ju suddenly felt that it was nothing. Instead of sitting and waiting for death, he said gloomy: "It is better to keep a useful body. After being rescued, I have all settled the families of several good brothers and owe them the kindness they have. After death, I will go to hell to pay it back. At worst, they will share some food. Lord Chen said that a real man is not afraid of the criticism of thousands of men, but wants to be worthy of his heart."

Xiao Jiu knew that Jin Ju, who was highly respected by the military soldiers, was not an ordinary person, but he did not expect that he would have such an unbearable experience. Now everyone is the same, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of compassion for the same disease. He reached out and patted his shoulder, looked at the Song and Wu coalition forces under the city tower, and said in a deep voice: "The suffering we have suffered must be doubled for the enemy." He immediately suppressed his disgust, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the north and said: "There are two days left."

Just as Xiao Jiu stood at the head of Changzhou and looked north at Jinling to look forward to reinforcements, Chen De looked at the Song army's Niushou Mountain camp at the head of Jinling.

"This is God helping me!" He took a deep breath of cold and pure air and said excitedly. Jinling began to flutter and snow. The white snow covered all the ugliness on the ground, making the deserted suburbs of Jinling as white as a fairy tale world. The cold weather made the Song army, who had been on the expedition, hunkered in the camps and waited for the Wu Yue army to come and meet. The cold and ice and snow made the siege an extremely arduous task. Chen Dejian

In order to give the Tang army, the main force in Jinling City, a great opportunity to draw out a short time. The plan to concentrate its forces to attack the Song army on the Western Front is more likely to succeed in such weather. He turned to the Yuhou of Shenwu, the commander of Tiande Army, Hu Ze, said: "I received news from Ji Yan yesterday that Heiyundu had arrived in the water. I led my army out of the city to join forces with Heiyundu, and strive to defeat the enemy in the west within five days and return to Jinling. During this period, Jinling's defense was handed over to Brother Hu."

Hu Ze smiled and said, "It's really a pity in life that you can't participate in such a war. Don't worry, even if there are only a hundred people left in the Tiande Army, the Song army will never want to step over the top of Jinling City." While saying that, he wiped his sleeves on the snow-clear horizontal knife. This was specially made by Chen De with five kilograms of iron to give him. Hu Ze couldn't put down this sword. If his wife had not moved into Jinling City to live with her, she would have wished she could sleep with the knife at night.

The night was shining, and Hu Ze first led the German army to ignite fire outside the Song army camp, which made the noise. At this time, the ground was cold and the ground was slippery, and the generals of the Song army were unwilling to lead the army to fight. Cao Bin was sure that it was the plan of the Tang army to be tired of the enemy, and only ordered the heroes who were on the night to take the turn to the night to strengthen their guards and prevent the Tang army from taking the opportunity to attack the camp.

When the Song army was worried about the harassment of the Tang army outside the city, Chen De led the army to sneak out of the city without turbulence. The veterans of Jinfan Army with good eyes opened the way in front, and the soldiers behind them pulled the clothes in front one by one to march south. The mules and horses of the army all tied their mouths tightly with cloth strips, and they tied them up one by one to the other. Apart from the sound of people gasping for breath and the sound of footsteps, the 30,000 troops marched silently.

Chen De also followed the soldiers to open the way in front, and the cold wind was pouring into his mouth with heavy snow, but all the soldiers walked quietly, and no one said a word. Chen De suddenly felt that the army seemed to have become a living creature with his own life and will. In this dark night, without his extra commands and supervision, the soldiers walked firmly and calmly, and the entire team was just like a black snake quietly swimming towards the target.

After marching fifty miles overnight, the sky was clear. Chen De ordered the army not to rest and continue to march until a hundred miles away from Jinling City was not allowed to rest, but the soldiers were not allowed to rest, but fire was not allowed to rebel. The whole army, along with Chen De himself, had to finish breakfast with dry food. After a short rest, he advanced south at the speed of a marching force, and rested every twenty miles. He kept marching like this, and the soldiers were exhausted, relying on Chen De's Ya Barracks and the officers of the Divine Guards to barely march. Until later, Chen De suspected that as long as he encountered a two thousand Song army halfway, his army might not be able to withstand it, and finally saw the camp of Heiyundu.

Compared with the Shenwei and Tiande infantry who came from Jinling, Heiyundu's situation was much better. Although the cavalry did not ride horses when they were on the road, and nearly half of the horses were tired and sick, the horses could help the cavalry carry a lot of things. Moreover, although Heiyundu was the main force of Hukou Camp, the defense backbone of Hukou Camp itself was still a reorganized Jinfan infantry, so Heiyun was not in a hurry to rush back to assist in defense, and the marching time was relatively abundant, and he was still at the camp where he met two days ago. In the eyes of the cavalry who had fully repaired two days, they rushed to grab hot porridge as soon as they saw the camp. After drinking the porridge, the infantrymen who fell asleep in the camp were simply beggars.

However, an infantry army won the respect of all the cavalry. After they arrived at the camp, they maintained a strict formation. When other troops were rushing to distribute porridge, they were alert all around, and finally lined up to receive their own food. After leaving the necessary posts, the infantrymen formed a circle of ten people according to the team to eat, with swords, guns, bows and crossbows beside them, so they could get up to fight at any time. After the entire army had a meal, the postmen were proud to express their expressions with Yuhou, and Chen De, who was the centurion of the first capital of the Ya Military Camp, had dinner with Chen De.

Modern people are more impatient with hunger than ancient people. Although Chen De was so hungry that he was still willing to enjoy the honor of the final meal with the most elite soldiers in his army. He deliberately cultivated a sense of honor in the army. Dining at the latest is a kind of qualification and honor, which is the same as encouraging soldiers to fight for the first row of each phalanx. When the soldiers under his command developed such a unique feeling of gratitude, death, hunger, and fatigue were nothing, and they firmly believed that they could survive.
