- As the weather got warmer, the ice and snow in Liyang City began to melt, and the Chu army's water dragon cannons lost their effectiveness.
Since that night, many Liyang soldiers and civilians have crossed the city and fled to surrender to Yan Liang.
From the mouths of the escapees, Yan Liang and the generals of Chu State got the truth about Liyang City.
At this time, Liyang City is already a purgatory on earth.
In order to solve the problem of food and grass, Guan Yu ordered hundreds of unarmed people to be captured and killed, and their meat was used as military food.
At the beginning, the Han army only quietly captured the people at night, but soon after, the Han army began to blatantly capture the people during the day.
The fact that Guan Yu captured civilians to serve as human flesh and food for the army soon spread among the people. The frightened people were naturally running away in all directions, fearing that they would be eaten by the officers and soldiers.
However, in a mere besieged city, with all the houses destroyed, where could the people escape? It was just that the Han army spent some effort to search, but in the end they could not escape the fate of being captured.
The people's only hope is to escape across the city.
But the troops deployed on the four front lines of Liyang are all direct relatives of Guan Yu. These people are absolutely loyal to Guan Yu and patrol the four walls of the city very strictly. It is lucky that one out of ten people can escape.
"It's hateful. Guan Yu calls himself Bo Yuntian, but he didn't expect that he could do such inhumane things!" Even Zhao Yun, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel indignant.
Yan Yan frowned and did not express his opinion. He only asked the kneeling escapee to continue talking.
After the common people talked about their tragic experiences, the soldiers who escaped also told about their unbearable ordeal.
Although the soldiers were hungry, not all of them were willing to eat human flesh. Guan Yu issued a death order to those who dared not eat human flesh. Rectify the law on the spot.
Therefore, under Guan Yu's severe coercion, the Han soldiers could only swallow the flesh and blood of Liyang people to satisfy their hunger.
After eating a few meals of human flesh, most of the soldiers felt the benefit of no longer being hungry, so they simply let go of their humanity and went to eat human flesh calmly.
???????????????? Many people even took the initiative to ask to join the ranks of arresting "military rations". In order to obtain more supplies.
Of course, there are some people in the Han army who are unwilling to destroy humanity, and apart from being executed by Guan Yu, these people have no other choice but to escape.
Like the people who crossed the city, these fleeing soldiers. Nine out of ten died, and most of them were either shot to death outside the city or taken back to serve as military rations.
After listening to the stories of these escaped soldiers and civilians, there was silence in the imperial tent.
Incomparable anger, incomparable shock, and incomparable contempt surged fiercely in the big tent.
"Shameless. Extremely shameless. Liu Bei claims to be benevolent and righteous, but those who sacrifice their lives for him are all such inhumane tigers and wolves. This is really complicit." Veteran Huang Zhong was so angry that his hair was flying.
At this time, Pang Tong sighed: "Guan Yu's hand is really cruel. There are still 20,000 to 30,000 people in the city. In terms of head count, each soldier can eat at least one person. If this person's portion is eaten sparingly, I can eat it for at least another month or two.¡±
Pang Tong¡¯s calculation shows that this is indeed the case.
The generals looked at each other in shock, thinking about the scene where Guan Yu ate up all the people in the city, everyone couldn't help but shudder.
"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we wait for another two months?" Wen Chou asked.
"There's no need to ask, tell me my decree and attack the city immediately." Yan Liang suddenly slapped the table and said bitterly: "If I don't attack the city, I'm afraid all the people in this city will be eaten by Guan Yu, the evil wolf. Attack the city, attack the city immediately!"
The generals who had already lost their fighting spirit and were already agitated did not need to be encouraged at all. They were eager to break through the city and kill Guan Yu, the man-eating demon.
The next day, an army of more than 100,000 people began to pour out and besieged Liyang City on all sides.
After more than six months of siege, the accumulated anger of the Chu army soldiers could finally be vented.
The three armies fought bravely and attacked to the death!
Guan Yu in the city had no choice but to force the more than 20,000 Han soldiers who threatened him to resist the Chu army's attack.
During the years when Liu Bei was running the Liyang defense line, there were countless arrows, hammers and other defensive equipment in the city. In addition, after eating human flesh, the Han army's physical strength and spirit had recovered, so the resistance was quite tenacious.
After ten consecutive days of strong attack, the Chu army sacrificed thousands of soldiers, and the corpses piled up like mountains under the four gate walls.
Even so, Guan Yu could barely manage by relying on the city defense system that Li Yang adhered to.He defeated the Chu army's crazy attack.
The Chu army suffered heavy sacrifices, and the Han army suffered heavy losses. After more than ten days of fighting, Guan Yu also lost a lot of soldiers and horses. Nearly three thousand people died under the strong bows and crossbows of the Chu army.
The Chu army was so numerous that even if five were exchanged for one, the Han army would still be defeated first.
Furthermore, when the strength of the Han army drops below 10,000, it will be impossible to defend the large city of Liyang with this strength.
Moreover, after days of fierce fighting, the soldiers' physical strength was greatly exhausted, and the daily human flesh rations they needed naturally doubled. Even if Guan Yu killed all the people in the city to make military rations, it would only last less than a month.
The situation in Liyang City that eased slightly soon became dangerous again.
But Guan Yu had no other choice but to cling on like this, hoping that one day Liu Bei would send his army to rescue him and free him from the hell city of Liyang.
Thirty miles away, there is Dangyin City.
In the imperial tent, the aroma of wine and meat filled the air.
Looking at the table full of wine and meat, Liu Bei was listless and his expression was gloomy.
Liyang City has been besieged for more than six months. Guan Yu has exhausted his supplies, but the Chu army has shown no sign of withdrawing. From this point of view, the fall of Liyang City is an immediate matter.
Faced with such a defeat, it¡¯s surprising that Liu Bei can afford to eat.
At this moment, Chen Dao hurried in, his face full of solemnity.
As soon as he saw Chen Dao's face, Liu Bei was shocked. A bad premonition came into his heart. Before Chen Dao could speak, he said in a deep voice, "Is it possible that Liyang City has been captured?"
"Your Majesty, Liyang City is still in our hands. According to detailed intelligence from the south, the Chu army has begun a large-scale attack on the city. However, General Guan defended to the death, and the Chu army continued to attack for more than ten days."
After hearing the information in Chen Dao's newspaper, Liu Bei was refreshed, but in an instant he became confused again.
"It stands to reason that Liyang's food and grass should have been exhausted long ago. The morale of the army has collapsed. How Yun Chang can still withstand the Chu army's strong attack for more than ten days is incredible." Liu Bei's face was filled with surprise and confusion.
Zhuge Liang also wondered: "Is there anything else in the intelligence? Does it say how General Guan can stabilize the morale of the army?"
"Xizuo said in the intelligence that General Guan has found a new food source." Chen Dao said silently.
New food source?
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang looked at each other, their expressions becoming more and more surprised.
"What food source did Yun Chang find?" Liu Bei asked impatiently.
Chen Dao took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "General Guan, he arrested all the people in the city and turned them into military rations!"
When Chen Dao told the truth with difficulty, both Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were stunned.
Zhuge Liang, who was as smart as he was, did not expect that Liu Bei, who was a brother, also did not expect that Guan Yu could use such methods to eat the people of a city alive.
"I didn't expect that Yun Chang would come up with such a clever plan. His method is indeed"
Liu Bei subconsciously wanted to agree with Guan Yu's approach, but as he spoke, he suddenly remembered something.
Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and said: "Our Han army is a benevolent and righteous army that protects the country and the people. How could Chief Yun do such a harm to the people? It is really detrimental to the benevolent and righteous people of our Han army, no matter what." Yes, he really shouldn¡¯t.¡±
Guan Yu fought to the death for Liu Bei. Instead of being moved by Liu Bei, Liu Bei complained that Guan Yu had damaged his reputation.
"Although Yun Chang's move is to protect Liyang, killing people and cannibalizing human flesh is indeed contrary to your majesty's national policy of governing the country with benevolence and righteousness." Zhuge Liang also echoed Liu Bei and complained about Guan Yu's actions.
The look of disgust on Liu Bei's face became more intense, and he waved his hand to push Chen Dao and others away.
There were no outsiders in the tent, only Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang remained.
Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't expect Yun Chang's methods to be so ruthless. If he really defends Liyang, I will promote him to a general in the future. With Yun Chang's ruthlessness, I am really worried about the Prime Minister's scruples." It will become true one day.¡±
At this moment, Liu Bei was deeply afraid of Guan Yu.
Zhuge Liang rolled his eyes slightly, but said: "Your Majesty is overly worried. In my opinion, although Yunchang killed the people to make military supplies, Liyang City still cannot be defended."
"How do you say this?" Liu Bei's expression changed.
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said: "Most of the people in Liyang City have starved to death. Even if the remaining people are eaten by Yun Chang, they can only survive for another month at most.Now Yan Thief has been besieging Liyang for more than six months. Just imagine, will he care about one more month of siege? "
Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, and seemed to feel lucky that Li Yang could not defend himself.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Bei realized that there was something wrong with his attitude, and immediately showed worry again.
"Alas~~" Liu Bei sighed, "If Li Yang falls, the Yan thieves will march straight in and head towards Yecheng. This is not what I want to see."
At this time, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Yan thieves have been besieging Liyang for more than six months, and the grain and grass have been greatly damaged. And in the plains hundreds of miles from Liyang to Yecheng, there are no rivers to transport grain. The Yan thieves could only take the land route and rely on the people to use their food. At that time, our army only had to hold on to the wall without fighting, and then attack with light cavalry to harass its land routes. The Yan thieves were short of food and grass, so they had to retreat without a fight. ¡±
Hearing Zhuge Liang's eloquent comments, Liu Bei's tense nerves finally relaxed.
He stood up and walked around the tent, thinking and weighing for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Bei nodded slightly and said silently: "What the Prime Minister said makes sense. If so, then let me pass on my decree. Tomorrow the entire army will retreat northward to Yecheng." (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
