These few days, the Xiongnu soldiers outside the city had been launching waves of attacks. After a wave of attacks, another wave would come up. There was simply no time for people to rest. Liu Kun had been on the city wall the entire time and had never come down. No one knew how many times they advised him to go down the city wall to rest, but he did not listen. Basically, he went to block wherever the danger came from. Ran Zhan also did not sleep for a few nights. The Xiongnu soldiers who climbed up the city wall were not a big deal. He killed one when they came. He was afraid of those archers who constantly guerrilla warfare under the city wall. It was easy to dodge an open spear but difficult to defend against a hidden arrow.
Liu Qun was in charge of distributing all the supplies while Liu Yan was constantly strengthening the security in the city. Linghu Sheng was also training the militia, assigning troops to replace the soldiers on the city walls. I also asked Xiao Lu to gather all the maidservants in the manor to wash the soldiers, sew their clothes, and take care of the wounded. The City Lord's manor had become a gathering place for the wounded. I told Liu Yan to let the women in the city participate in the rescue of the wounded. Liu Yan also released the news while tightening the security in the city. Therefore, women came to help every day. Many commoners also took the initiative to join the army at Linghu Sheng's place. After all, once the city was broken, the consequences were unimaginable.
Xu Run also displayed his magnanimity as a celebrity very well. Every day, he would either play the piano or sing. He did not disturb others. He enjoyed himself every day and lived in peace with everyone. However, when his matter reached the ears of the common people, what else could they do other than shake their heads? Fortunately, the others were busy defending the city. It didn't matter if he was there or not. The commoners saw it, so no one was in the mood to pay attention to him.
outside the city
Shi Hu looked at the city that he had been unable to take down for a few days and felt a little anxious. After all, he was only 16 years old and it was his first time leading an army to attack a city. However, the military skills he had displayed in the past had already been recognized by everyone. This future Zhao Taizu Martial Emperor, the greatest bloody executioner of the Han, had his first fierce battle with the famous Western Jin general Liu Kun. In the battle, Liu Kun was only able to defend himself, and I was also trapped in the city. This person's ferocity and brutality would also grow with age, and his personality would also become more and more brutal…
Shi Hu looked at the soldiers who had been attacking the city for days and seemed a little tired. There was no emotion in his eyes. When the soldiers saw Shi Hu like this, they broke out in cold sweat. Did this little general think of an even more vicious method?
"Listen to my orders! "Withdraw the troops of the four gates. They won't escape. If they wanted to escape, they would have long escaped. They could have escaped before we came. Now, they're fighting desperately because they don't want to leave at all, so they'll definitely waste a long time with us. We'll capture the refugees tonight. You can enjoy the women as you like, but don't kill them after you're done. I have use for all these living refugees, hehe." After Shi Hu said this, his gaze towards Jinyang City became even colder…
noon the next day
I came to Liu Kun, a city wall guarded by Ran Zhan. I gave them and the soldiers a change of clothes and food. I also helped the soldiers bandage their wounds and transport the seriously injured back to the residence.
This was the time for everyone to eat. Only at this time of the day did everyone feel alive. From yesterday afternoon to noon today, the Xiongnu soldiers at the four gates had retreated quite a bit. They didn't even show any signs of attacking. Some soldiers were very happy, thinking that the Xiongnu had already retreated after knowing our strength and determination. Some soldiers felt that the Xiongnu's retreat was too strange and didn't look optimistic. Fortunately, everyone's morale was 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 had pushed the two of them to their limits. Ran Zhan drank the porridge I handed over and took big bites of the pancake. His eyes flashed with gratitude towards me. I looked at the two of them wolfing down their food, and for some reason, my heart calmed down a lot.
Suddenly, a large amount of sand and dust appeared in the distance outside the city. It was only when I got closer that I realized that they were refugees who had been kidnapped by groups of Xiongnu soldiers. There were men, women, young and old, children, and babies in their arms. The Xiongnu cavalry held whips and ruthlessly swung at the unarmed refugees, driving these poor people towards Jinyang City.
The soldiers and militia on the city wall were all nervous. When these refugees saw the city, they didn't need the Xiongnu to chase them away. They all rushed to the city gate like a swarm of bees. They wanted to live. The cries of the heavens and the earth, the miserable cries of children and infants, and the screams of women made me cry uncontrollably. I really wanted to let them in…
Little Green was already crying weakly. It was too tragic. The Xiongnu soldiers behind would kill anyone who retreated. Where was the way out? Jinyang City was the only way out. However, once it opened, the Xiongnu army would follow. How vicious…
Liu Kun's face turned livid. This person was a famous patriotic general in history. He cared a lot about the people. Looking at these refugees, his heart was bleeding. However, the decision he made now would affect the lives of all the people and soldiers in Jinyang City. What should he do with these unarmed people?
Ran Zhan's heart was also twitching. He was the leader of the Begging for Life Army, so he knew all too well what kind of life the refugees were living, especially the refugees with families. In order to survive, they no longer had any dignity. As long as they could survive, as long as their children could survive, what was wrong with that?
Some of the soldiers guarding the city gate had already begun to become restless. No one could remain indifferent in the face of such a scene.。。。。。
"Ran Zhan, go to the city gate. If anyone dares to leave their post without permission, execute them on the spot!”，Liu Kun's face was a little twisted. How much perseverance and determination did 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 brought a team of people down the city wall and came to the city gate. The cold blades made those who had sympathy shrink back…
My back was facing the thick wall as I sat on the city wall. How could my heart endure such torment? Even with my life's worth of experience, I had never experienced such misery. I couldn't help but cry. Xiao Lu was also crying next to me. Her sorrowful voice was faintly calling out for her mother…Helplessness, sadness, and the complete wailing of the heavens. My soul was escaping. I couldn't face all of this…
Liu Kun grabbed me and hugged me. He made me look at the miserable refugees below. I struggled. I didn't want to look. Liu Kun pinched my face without any pity and made me look at the miserable situation below. I could only close my eyes. I hated Liu Kun so much…
"Mingyue, look, these are the people of Great Jin. As a princess, you have the noblest bloodline, but you have never known the sufferings of the people. You have never truly experienced what it means to live a life worse than death. You have extraordinary wisdom. Perhaps one day you will do something for the entire world, but first, you must carefully watch how these refugees die!”，Liu Kun's voice became louder and louder. I slowly opened my eyes, and my tears couldn't stop flowing. I saw that Little Green was also looking at me with tears in her eyes. She didn't have any intention of helping me out. Her gaze was exactly the same as Liu Kun's…
I didn't struggle anymore. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the refugees below the city. That tragic scene was deeply imprinted in my life. My body couldn't help but tremble.。。。。。
" Everyone, listen up. Leave your children behind. We will raise them for you. All adults, turn around. Do you see the Xiongnu soldiers behind us? Hold them back and give us time to open the city gate and take your children. If I see an adult trying to break through the city gate, we will no longer accept these children…" Liu Kun's words were cold and emotionless, but they were indeed effective.
When the refugees heard the repeated orders from the soldiers on the city wall, a glimmer of hope flashed in their despairing eyes. Parents were reluctant to part with their children. All the adults, regardless of whether they had children or not, turned around. They were unarmed and looked at the Xiongnu cavalrymen who were showing off their power. They no longer had any fear.。。。。。
I watched as these refugees prepared to die. My heart was already broken. I watched as they charged at the Xiongnu cavalry and prepared to die just to buy some time for the people in the city to accept the children. I hated them so much. Damn the Xiongnu. I shouted hysterically,"Me! Princess Mingyue of the Sima Clan! He swore to the heavens that he would pay with blood until he died!!!!!!!”，My eyes were red and my body seemed to have been drained of all strength. I fell into Liu Kun's arms and fainted...
The Xiongnu people did not expect such a thing to happen. They were originally convinced by the little general's brilliant plan. They wanted to wait for the city gate to open so that they could go in and burn, kill, and plunder wantonly. Now that they saw the crazy appearance of these refugees who did not care about death, they were a little confused.
Shi Hu looked at the scene in front of him without any emotional fluctuations. To him, war was always about death. On the battlefield, anything could be used, including the psychology of people. As long as he could win, it did not matter how many people died or how they died...
Just as he personally rushed into the refugees to enjoy the pleasure of slaughtering them, he heard my angry roar. Shi Hu suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound. A little girl's figure entered his sight. Although it was only a vague appearance, it already shocked Shi Hu. He had already seen too many women as a youth, but when he saw Mingyue, he still whispered in his heart," She's really beautiful…and a princess…hehe…"
I was still unconscious for three days and three nights. This made many people anxious…
Little Green never left my side. Ever since I said those words, Little Green took care of me in every possible way. She didn't let anyone help me change my clothes and personally took care of my daily life. Of course, she knew my secret. When she saw that little thing, other than shyness, there was also a hint of surprise on her face...
When I woke up, I realized that all my clothes had been changed. The only one guarding me was Xiao Lu. Looking at Xiao Lu's shy expression, I helplessly said,"You already know?"
" Mm." Little Green's voice was very soft.
I looked at her helplessly, but there was no killing intent in my heart. Looking into her eyes, my thoughts drifted elsewhere.
Xiao Lu saw my helpless look and immediately said obediently," Young Master…mm, Princess, no one else will know. Little Green is willing to serve Young Master for the rest of her life."
Only I knew the bitter smile in my heart. I smiled at Xiao Lu and slowly said,"If others find out, I will die, and you won't be able to live either. Do you understand?”
" I understand." When Xiao Lu heard my words, the only worry in her heart was dispelled. What she was most afraid of was that the person in front of her was unwilling to see her again. As for the rest, she was willing to keep this secret for the rest of her life. This secret that only she and he knew...
