Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 3162: Carrying corpses and burying food into the city

Two days later, outside Guanggu City, south gate, Changweitou.

Liu Yu stood with his hands behind his head and surrounded his head independently. Wang Miaoyin and Liu Muzhi stood side by side with him. The nearest guards were all a hundred steps away from the surrounding area. All three of them had their brows locked tightly, looking at Changwei. The flow of people coming and going.

On one side are the two thousand unarmed civilians here in the Jin Army. They all covered their mouths and noses with cloths dipped in anti-epidemic medicine, their hands and feet were tightly wrapped, and there was no bare skin at all. They were in Pilu Daoci and others. Under the command of ant, he tied the dead Jin army corpses under the city with ropes on the bodies that were not completely decomposed, and pulled them back to their own carts, and then drove these carts and transported them. Back within the long circle of this side.

Twenty to thirty large pits with a radius of about ten meters have already been prepared in Changwei. All the bodies of Jin soldiers who died in the battle will be put into these pits after they have stripped off their armor and removed their number plates. Among them, after sprinkling with lime, bury them deeply.

Thousands of Jin army generals, standing by the edge of these big pits, with tears in their eyes, chanting the names on these number plates one by one, and even some familiar people, choked up and reported them. Hometown, birthplace, and even his nickname, Jinying is full of white banners and linen cloth, and there is a sound of evocation and wailing.

On the other side, there are three or four thousand Xianbei women who resemble skeletons and walking corpses, in groups of two or three, dragging bags of rice bags hard, dragging them towards the city on their own side, three times. The trenches outside the city have been filled with lime, and there is the smell of choking nose everywhere, and the white powder mist is also permeating outside the city. After these Xianbei women transported the rice bags back to the city, a stick was dropped from the city. The long rope of the root, the women tied the bag of rice, and then the long rope was pulled away, and the bag of rice was transported to the head of the city. The cycle repeats, the corpse transporter and the grain transporter are in different directions, each side.

Liu Muzhi shook his head gently: "Ah, 500,000 stone army rations, these thousands of women carry it back and forth like this. In less than three days, they are going to be emptied. The black robe is really cunning, not even the city gate. Open, let these women hoist rice bags from below into the city like this. This way, it also prevents our army from taking the opportunity to attack the city while they are transporting grain. I have to say that the black robe's trick is indeed high."

Wang Miaoyin sighed: "It's just that these women are so hungry that they can't drag a rice bag. Why don't they come to us? Since yesterday, we have prepared congee shops outside Changwei, even I started roasting lamb skewers today."

As she said, she looked at a corner outside the long enclosure. Several hundred sergeants were standing on the grill. They put a bunch of large lamb skewers through the fire and grilled them. , Was holding a small bowl, and kept pouring cumin powder and other seasonings on the meat skewers on these grills, while some sergeants on the side brushed the meat skewers with mutton fat, and the smell of mutton was overflowing. Liu Muzhi sniffed when he smelled it.

Liu Yu shook his head: "I'm afraid that these women's children are in the city. Women's nature prefers to protect the children if they lose themselves. Therefore, they will not flee, but will use the last bit of strength to continue to carry them. food!"

As he spoke, there was a "plop", a skinny pigtail was scrambled out of hunger, a thin black woman who was about thirty years old, suddenly fell to the ground, and there were several women who were like zombies. Ren numbly stepped forward to look at her. An old woman sniffed her snort, and then shook her head. Several women around continued to drag the grain bags forward, and even did not even treat the hungry woman. Take another look.

Wang Miaoyin gritted his teeth: "How can they be like this, why these women would rather starve to death than eat our food?"

Liu Muzhi sighed: "I'm afraid, I want to save the last bit of food for the children and families in the city. I think those Xianbei people in the city have just thrown down a few buns and a cake these days. Seven or eight women can grab it. To be honest, even though it is an enemy, all I see is heartache. After all, they are all humans. Can't you bring them all back?"

Liu Yu shook his head: "No, these women themselves are unwilling to come back. If we pull people forcibly, it will break the agreement this time, and if the hearts of the people are not willing to come, if you pull them over, they will also seek death, and on the contrary, they will increase the number of defenders. Morale, now both the soldiers and civilians in the city are afraid of us, thinking that if we win, they will slaughter the city and take revenge.

Wang Miaoyin sighed faintly: "This war is really a terrible monster that destroys human nature. This time I followed the army in the Northern Expedition. The original lofty ambition of regaining lost ground and expelling Hulu is not much. I only hope this time. The catastrophe can pass early, Brother Yu, are you really going to start the storm?"

Liu Yu cast his gaze on the distant city wall and muttered: "I still hope that Alan can move the black robe and Murong Chao, and let the black robe leave, so as to save the hundreds of thousands of creatures on both sides."

Liu Muzhi said sternly: "If Hei Pao is willing to accept this proposal, Murong Lan will accept it when he goes back the day before yesterday. Now that there is no movement, then he wants to continue fighting. And he obviously has so much food, but he does not distribute it to those outside the city. These women are eating, obviously they are collecting food and preparing for long-term resistance."

Liu Yu said coldly: "If you attack, UU reading www.uukānshu.com has no use for more food. I put the food into the city and collect the corpses for burying, which can also reduce the disease in the city. It is the end of my kindness. These women Willing to continue to transport food for their families shows that they still have things to worry about and hope, and if the soldiers and civilians in the city have the hope of survival, they will reduce their will to fight to the end. This war is already beating people's hearts. To overcome the war itself, only by gaining the support of the people, can the war be ended, and the long-term peace and stability after the war can be achieved."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "But we really don’t have much time. The news came today that Liu Daogui sent Jingzhou Sima Wangzhen’s troops to chase Lu Xun, but they were also defeated. Now Lu Xun has moved eastward. They joined with Xu Daofu. Once they join forces, Liu Yi's pressure will be great, and this siege must be ended as soon as possible."

Liu Yu sighed: "I wish the whole army could fly back to Dajin now, but this matter is impatient. If we don't solve Guanggu's black robe, we will be chased even if we withdraw. Within three days, I will win. Guanggu City, Mu Zhi, is there anything happening in Zhang Gang?"

Liu Muzhi hooked the corner of his mouth and took out a scroll from his sleeve: "Since Zhang Gang woke up, he did not eat or drink and sleeplessly. He drew all the city defense agencies in Guanggu City, and then He was going to personally supervise various organ warfare equipment. He said that he would commit suicide and enter Guanggu City, pluck out the hearts of Heipao and Gongsun on the fifth floor, and avenge his mother!"
