In the big tent, Guo Shao and the civil servants and generals were covered with yellow mud, covered in dust, and their bodies were traces of smoke and dust. The guards put the iron cup Guo Shao used to serve vegetable soup and brought two more wheat cakes. He looked back and forth, everyone looked at him, silently waiting for Guo Shao to move his chopsticks first.

Everyone was not in high spirits, and the generals were used to sleeping in the open and eating in the open. Because the Great Zhou wars were frequent, there were many days when they went to war. But it was impossible to say that eating this kind of thing was comfortable. Those who could sit next to the emperor were the most prestigious people in the Great Zhou. When they were in Tokyo, they were not short of glory, wealth, and wealth, and they obviously did not eat this kind of thing.

But the emperors all had the same meals as soldiers, and ministers did not dare to do anything like this. In Guo Shao's words, it is: the soldiers who were fighting for their lives in the front can eat, but the people who drove the soldiers behind can't eat them?

Guo Shao looked back and smiled and said, "When I take down Jinyang, I will hold a banquet in Jinxiang Hall to celebrate you. Let's have a good time to eat and drink. What do you all want to eat?"

A group of people were quite cautious and cautious, and they all just thanked him. Gao Yanqi said at this time: "It's good to have wine and meat!"

"Yes, yes..." Wang Zhang, a general of the Hu Ben Army, muttered, "As long as you don't eat vegetarian food, your mouth will fade out!"

"Haha..." Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Guo Shao didn't blame Wang Zhang for complaining in his words, and said with a smile, "How about roasting lamb? I asked the imperial chef to carefully bake it. First sprinkle sesame oil and seasonings, and then roast it layer by layer over low heat. The golden color..." He looked at the thick iron cup that was bumpy and bumpy in front of him, "cut it down and put it on a jade plate to put it in a scent. The meat is fragrant. If you bite it, your mouth is covered with oil."

Someone had already swallowed his saliva at this time.

Guo Shao also said, "The delicacies also need to be served with good wine. How about glutinous rice wine that has been more than 18 years old? Take a big sip. The wine is fragrant and warmed up along the throat to the heart, making people feel warm and fluttering."

Lin Renzhao smashed his mouth. He didn't say anything before. When he talked about wine, he immediately said seriously: "I love to drink my daughter Hong, and the wine tastes good..."

Guo Shao then picked up the soup and took a sudden breath, sighing "ha".

Seeing this, everyone started to eat and drink. Guo Shao tore another piece of wheat cake and put it in his mouth to chew it with relish. Somehow he suddenly remembered Fu Jinzhan... She also tasted this kind of military ration when he took her out of the city to run a horse.

In the old and black tent, in the barracks covered with yellow mud, there were a group of rough and dirty strong men around him, but Guo Shao looked intoxicated. He seemed to see the beautiful woman with bright eyes and white teeth. The jade-like soft cocktail picked up a piece of wheat cake, opened her red lips and took a bite of the bald teeth. Chewing it slowly, you could taste the fragrance of wheat and the slight sweetness, although it was light but not greasy.

Guo Shao made salivation from his mouth and ate the coarse wheat cakes as delicious as the delicacies of mountains and seas.

Everyone looked at the emperor in shock, and seemed to think the food was delicious, so everyone ate and drank, enjoying dinner.

Wang Pu smiled and said, "I remembered Cao Mengde's 'look at plums to quench his thirst' back then. Today, His Majesty is looking for wine and meat to satisfy his cravings!"

"Haha, that's true." Several generals laughed.

At night, bonfires outside Jinyang City were covered with bonfires, like stars everywhere in the dark. The battle on the battlefield also temporarily returned to tranquility.

...But this relaxation only lasted until the next morning. As soon as the sky was dawn, the sound of drums and trumpets and the noise on the battle formation became noisy again. Soon, the sound of cannons also roared, and the flames and smoke were everywhere.

"Boom! Boom..." Gao Yanqi's tent was shaking in the Jiannan Army's garrison area.

Gao Yanqi picked up the helmet next to him and put it on his head, hung his sword on his waist, and walked out of the tent with great strides. His expression was solemn, no longer as relaxed as in the central army last night. A group of martial artists wearing strong and holding sharp edges gathered up, and they all held military salutes with one hand clenched one hand and held the other hand: "Lord, pay homage to the lord..."

Gao Yanqi looked out at the distance without anger and looked at the large number of soldiers and various siege equipment prepared in the distance, and then looked back and forth, everyone was watching him.

"Today we are already the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Only by doing the best job of martial artists can we be worthy of eating this bite!" Gao Yanqi said. He said something in his heart. In his cognition, he had to do everything well to maintain his existing status.

The generals looked solemn and expressed their opinions: "The last generals and others followed the lord from Shu, and they had already determined to live and die together, and served their lords' command!"

Just then, someone suddenly shouted: "The Emperor is here!"

Gao Yanqi and others turned to watch and saw Guo Shao riding a tall dark horse, leading a group of civil servants and generals to ride here. When they approached, Gao Yanqi took the lead in kneeling down on one knee and held a military salute: "I welcome your Majesty!"

Guo Shao turned over and got off the horse, stepped forward and helped Gao Yanqi up with his own hands, and said to the generals: "Heroes, please get up."

Guo Shao looked up at the square flag with the words "Da Zhou" written on it, and said seriously: "Shu is the country of Tianfu, and is the back of China. However, for thousands of years, when our Han family fought for the world and resisted foreign humiliation, the people of Shu have always tried their best to send people to feed and sacrifice blood! They will not defeat their great cause in the world! The men are determined to go out of Shu and fight for great cause, and have earned their face for the elders and villagers in Shu!"

He raised his scabbard and shouted loudly in the dialect of the Shu army soldiers: "Xiong rise!"

The emotions of the troops were immediately excited and they shouted: "Get up! Get up..."

A general in the crowd excitedly said, "It is the son of the turtle who retreats!" Gao Yanqi also encouraged him, "The emperor is behind him, and His Majesty sees the courage of the soldiers!"

After a burst of shouts, Gao Yanqi issued a military order to roar the drum. For a moment, the flag swayed, and the drum sounded like thunder as the roar of artillery.

In the first line of defense, a tall ladder was pushed out among groups of people, and the armored soldiers spread to the city wall like a tide. After a while, the roar of artillery around also stopped, in order to prevent accidental injury of one's own people.

A young general of the Shu army who walked in front was holding a sword, staring at the top of the city with his eyes wide open, and followed the large group of people to keep walking. His hand was tightly holding the hilt of the sword, and he was actually very scared. I am afraid that no one was not afraid... The flesh and blood attacked under the rolling stone of the arrow, facing each other, just under the noses of the enemy soldiers, and for a lifetime, this situation is really not so easy.

Nearly a hundred steps, the crossbows and catapults on the city wall began to fire, and stones and crossbow arrows were greeted from the air. The continuous artillery damaged many defensive equipment of the Northern Han army, but at this time they seemed to have temporarily reinforced the city.

"Ah!" With a scream, the general turned around and saw a soldier hit by a crossbow as thick as his arm and fell to the ground. Everyone around him was staring at his eyes with weapons. At this time, people's eyes were very bright and their hearts were tense.

Not long after, suddenly, "bang bang bang..." a string sounded, and fire flashed in the air. Rockets roared in the air like a meteor shower, and fell like a rain of fire. There was a metal sound in the crowd, and screams came from time to time.

The closer the troops were, the more people were injured by arrows. However, the soldiers of the Shu army were still equipped with plate armor, and used swords and shields in close combat, so they were quite good at defending the bows and arrows. The troops advanced in the rain of arrows, and there was no sign of defeat. The archers of the Jiannan Army also entered the range, and shot and fought back dozens of steps away. For a moment, the arrows in the air flew around like locusts.

The crowds of people rushed closer to the city wall. The first tall ladder had passed through the filled moat and was placed on the city wall. The bow and crossbow below were constantly ejected towards a place; the first wave of swords and shields behind were ready.

The commander who was in front of the battle shouted: "Kill!"

He heard the sound of the gong "clang", and the square flag with the number written on it immediately tilted flat. The high city head seemed to be another world, the gate of life and death! The general in front raised his sword and shouted in a trembling voice: "Long live my emperor!" Then he led a group of soldiers to climb up the ladder. Everyone shouted, only in this way could they slightly offset the torture of fear.

A group of people shouted like crazy, with their mouths wide open, and the noise suddenly became louder, and the soldiers climbed up desperately. Arrows from all over kept flying upwards.

The officials of the Privy Council below were also wearing armor and chanting loudly in their voices: "The third command of the Fifth Army of Jiannan Army, Li Damao's letter from the family... My son, because you are under the command of the emperor to fight for the country, the emperor's kindness is great, and your family has been exempted from corvee labor..."

"Kill!" The young ten generals in front of him used their hands and feet. The tall city was getting closer and closer, and he did not dare to look back at the bottom.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a large tank was suddenly hung with iron chains and poked out of the female wall. White smoke was still coming out of it, and a foul stench immediately. Ten generals immediately guessed what it was... golden juice! Boiling feces! If this thing is burned, the wound will ulcerate, and it is basically impossible to kill the doctor.

At this moment, Ten generals' minds were blank and their faces were ashamed.

"Wow" the boiling water with a foul smell immediately poured down, "Ah..." The ten generals in front were all over their bodies, and they screamed and fell from the ladder to the city nearly three meters high.

Some soldiers who were not seriously injured screamed and continued to climb upwards. Some of the weapons were thrown away, but they just thought about climbing. At this time, another big bucket was immediately thrown out, and the sticky stinky oil poured on the ladder, and the soldiers' bodies... The stinky oil was from the Southern Tang Kingdom, and was transported to the north by ship to the Northern Han Kingdom.

The foul-stenched soldier who was burned by the "gold juice" on his body was poured on his face by black oil. At this time, he understood his fate. Tears came out and looked at the city in despair. As expected, a torch was thrown out. The black oil was touching the fire and ignited with a "boom". The soldier only felt his eyes lit up, and it seemed as if he was in a sea of ​​fire. Extreme fear and pain were thrust into his head and face. His body could no longer control it, and his hands and feet became soft and he fell straight from the ladder.
