It’s not just the Zodiac Week that is worried, everyone can’t see hope. This feeling of not seeing hope is like a bone-gnawing ant, gnawing at everyone’s heart every moment. Life is not going well.

, but is boiling.

The most unbearable thing is the Nanjing Forbidden Army. Few of them are from Yangzhou. Their families are not in Yangzhou. Now they are trapped in this hopeless city. Everyone's eyes are full of despair.

Today it was the turn of the 10th Division to guard the city wall. Soldier Wang Ergou had a thick layer of cloth wrapped around his nose. According to him, he would rather be suffocated to death than smoked to death.

There was that disgusting sound coming from the feet again, but there were too many maggots. Every morning I could sweep away a huge pile with a broom, but when the sun was high, the city walls were covered with these disgusting maggots again.

thing.

"Look!" Wu Erdan next to him pointed in the distance and jumped up and down. The cloth around his mouth was too thick, making his speech a little unclear.

"Look, you really think there are reinforcements." He said, but turned around. When Wang Ergou saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be startled.

I saw a big round thing rising from the sky in the distance, with a ferocious demon painted on it. The huge mouth was painted red, and the huge fangs were pale and pale. The thing was as big as ten miles.

You can see clearly from outside, and the lifelike demon seems to be coming to life.

"Monster!" Wu Erdan pointed at the big ball in the sky in the distance and ran towards the city.

"Stop, you are looking for death. We are on duty now. Leaving the city wall without orders is a capital crime for escaping from battle." Wang Ergou grabbed the man and grabbed him.

"Monster! Monster!" Wu Erdan, who had just turned seventeen, almost collapsed.

"Look, look again. It's not like we are the only two brothers here. Let's wait for them to run away before we run away. We will not blame everyone." After all, because he was two years older, Wang Ergou was still more thoughtful.

The facts disappointed him. It was obvious that he was not the only one with evil intentions on the city wall. No one wanted to be the leader. Everyone stretched their necks and looked up at the sky, but no one ran under the city wall.

Soon, the company commander also heard the news and ran up. He was also frightened by the huge guy in front of him, which the company commander had never seen before.

"What is this?" No one answered because no one knew.

The huge thing flew overhead. The company commander grabbed Wang Ergou's gun and fired a shot. It was too high for the bullet to reach.

Someone's jeers came from overhead. Although I couldn't hear clearly, I was sure they were human sounds. Gods? Monsters?

Soon, a handful of paper fluttered down like a goddess scattering flowers.

Everyone was scrambling for the flyers that fell from the sky, and then asked each other what was written on them. There was no way, not many people were literate.

The soldiers are illiterate, but the company commander is literate.

He also grabbed a flyer, and after reading it at a glance, his spine immediately went cold.

The ministers in Nanjing got together. Ma Shiying, the Minister of War, and Ruan Dacheng, the Minister of Rites, fought against Wen Tiren, the chief minister. Both sides called each other a national traitor and expressed their desire to clear the emperor.

Ma Shiying is in charge of the Ministry of War, so he naturally has a number of subordinates in the army. Wen Tiren's capital is the Thirteenth Division, plus the troops transferred from King Qin from other places. One of the two sides is in Jinling City, and the other is outside Jinling City. The city's offensive and defensive battles are fierce.

Lehu, shells have been pounding all day long, and the number of civilian casualties is already horrific.

The company commander was dumbfounded. No wonder the reinforcements were delayed. They were all involved in the civil war. Logically speaking, Jinling is only a short distance from Yangzhou. It has been more than a month, and the reinforcements have crawled over.

After a while, the big ball floated into the city along the wind. In the hanging basket below, flyers were sprinkled out one after another.

Huang Daozhou's hands trembled after reading the flyer: "Rumors! They are all rumors! We can't let them confuse people like this. I hope you, Sun Ke, will knock this thing down for me."

Sun Kewang looked helplessly at the big ball flying high in the sky. The bullets were definitely out of reach. If he wanted to hit it, he could only use cannons, but these days the cannons all shoot flatly, so there are no cannons that can shoot into the sky.

"You should fight!" Huang Daozhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Reinforcements are the only spiritual support for the soldiers and civilians in the city. If this leaflet is allowed to spread like this, the morale of the army will be lost.

"It's too high! It can't be beaten down." Sun Kewang told the truth.

"If you can't beat me, give it to me!" Huang Daozhou yelled, jumping on his feet, his head spinning with anger.

"Fight! Fight! If you kill him, you will be rewarded." Being urged by Huang Daozhou, Sun Kewang had no choice but to let his men shoot into the sky.

As a result, the big ball was not shot down. After the bullet lost its power, it fell down. Several guys who were grabbing leaflets on the street encountered sudden disasters and suffered several bloody holes in their bodies.

Seeing that it was really impossible to get it down, and the thing had floated away from Nancheng, Huang Daozhou could only order angrily: "People are not allowed to hide this thing privately, and they will turn it in after picking it up."

After a while, several sacks of leaflets were collected. However, many literate officers had one or two hidden away. There were not many of these. Who knows if there were one or two more or one or two less.

"Have you heard? In Jinling City, the elders are fighting. Is this true?"

"I'm afraid not, are you still engaging in internal strife at this time?"

"Why not? The Ma Bingbu and Mr. Wen Ge have been at odds for a long time. The Ma Bingbu has an elite guard, who should they guard against? Not against Mr. Wen Ge!"

"Well! Mr. Wen Ge's nephew is the commander of the Thirteenth Division, which is the largest division of our Nanjing Forbidden Army. His one division is more powerful than two of our divisions, not to mention that there is an artillery regiment in the division."

"If this really breaks out, what can we do? Two divisions of the Liao Army are guarding the outside. If we go out, we will be hit by artillery shells. If there are no reinforcements, we will be trapped here alive."

"Damn it, we don't even have firewood for the cooking class. We secretly cut down two trees last night, otherwise the brothers would have to eat uncooked rice. It can only be cooked half-cooked, and many brothers have finished eating it.

My stomach hurts."

"We are always so trapped and lacking everything. The artillerymen dare not fire at all. The artillery shells will be fired every time."

"If you think we dare to shoot at will, won't the bullets be missing one by one?"

"What should we do? We are not from Yangzhou. Why are we trapped here? I heard it was said that Jinling City was beaten with mountains of corpses. There were many civilian casualties. I really want to know what is going on inside my house."

"Who can say otherwise? When I came out, my wife was going to give birth in two months. Counting the days... I don't know if mother and child are safe!"

"My mother was sick when I came out!"

"My wedding is next month, and I have already made an appointment."

After dinner, the officers gathered together and talked in a hurry. There was only one topic, what happened to Jinling City. What was said in those leaflets was whether it was true or not.

There were still complaints at first, but eventually some people started scolding. Although some people still didn't believe it, most people already believed that this thing was probably true. When they were in Aurous Hill, they had vaguely heard about the discord between the big bosses.

Rumors spread at an alarming speed, even faster than the wind. Soon the news of the civil war among the elders in Jinling City spread throughout Yangzhou. It topped the list of the hottest topics in Yangzhou, and it has a tendency to continue to ferment.

.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! The commander-in-chief still had some ideas. He distributed this leaflet. Don't think about military morale in Yangzhou City. The desperate people are even more desperate now. It is when we play our role. Miss Luzhu helps me

Contact the battalion and company commanders, I want to see them.

After coming to Yangzhou for such a long time and eating idle food for such a long time, it’s time to do something.” Shi Kefa’s eyes narrowed to a slit, and now the city of Yangzhou is like dry firewood soaked in kerosene, Jiangnan

The soldiers of the Forbidden Army did not want to fight, they just wanted to go home.
