Chapter 753 Young General vs. Rich Lady 56
It's time for lunch.
Not only the Beirong people were hungry, but the Huo family army was also hungry. The meals in the kitchen of Beidaying had already been prepared on time and in quantity. The aroma wafted over, making their stomachs rumble with greed.
An old soldier cut the throat of the Beirong man with a sword, touched his rumbling stomach, and muttered: "I could kill him for three days and three nights even if I was hungry. After a few days of full meals, I get hungry when I don't eat for a meal."
Someone responded, "Who says it's not true? Who can live as comfortably as we do? We have three meals a day. I feel like I have become stronger. The gods are really good to us."
"You newcomers, go eat first. We are here to hold the fort. The barbarians will never get over this wall!"
The recruits felt embarrassed and were reluctant to leave.
The major general's order came down, asking the recruits to take turns eating and let them eat first, as someone else would take their place.
The new recruits then came down from the city wall. They felt like their hands and feet were not their own and many of them were injured. But as long as they were not injured in vital parts and could still move, they could still continue to defend the city.
Several tents were set up not far from the city gate, where the injured soldiers of the Huo family were bandaged. In addition to military doctors, there were also many women helping there. Occasionally, there were stray arrows and stones flying by, but they had become accustomed to it and applied medicine and bandaged the wounds without batting an eyelid.
The seriously injured patients were sent to the wounded camp, while the lightly injured were bandaged nearby and continued to fight on the battlefield.
The disinfectant irritated the wounds. Some people grimaced in pain, their faces distorted, but they held on and refused to cry out.
The woman smiled and said, "You are the same age as my son, go ahead and shout, no one will laugh at you."
There were young girls in the tent, and a group of young men who had just joined the army, trying to save face; no one wanted to show their weakness.
The recruits trotted all the way to the mess hall of Beidaying, ate their meals in a hurry, and then helped the mess hall staff carry the meals to the city gate.
A tent was set up at the foot of the wall to serve as a dining hall, where military doctors and the women who came to help took turns eating.
The people who were changing guards had already climbed onto the city wall, among them were a group of female soldiers.
The Beirong people were almost driven crazy by the aroma of the food. They wanted to rush in immediately to grab the food from the Huo family army and have a hearty meal.
Another group of people climbed up the city wall with the help of siege vehicles. They still defended the wall very firmly, cooperated with each other tacitly, and harvested the lives of the enemies one by one.
Huo Xiao said loudly: "The Beirong people are already at the end of their strength, just like a last gasp before death. There is no need to be afraid. Just keep calm. With only 10,000 people, you think you can break through the city gate?"
"Everyone, work harder! Kill them all before the main force arrives!"
The Beirong people who climbed up the city wall were particularly excited. They even saw big pots of meat and huge barrels of rice. The Beirong were also short of food. They had not had a full meal for a long time and were so hungry that their eyes turned green.
The Beirong people rushed forward desperately. Some of them had their heads chopped off, but their bodies still maintained a forward posture and fell into the city wall.
Both sides were blood-thirsty. The Beirong people fought on their own, with food on their minds. Some even jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the food. The outcome was predictable, they were smashed into a puddle of mud.
Tuolu personally led his soldiers to attack the city wall, determined to create a gap!
Seeing the female soldiers on the city wall, Takuya smiled contemptuously.
"I thought the Huo family army was so powerful, but they are just holding on. Even the women have gone to the battlefield. Are all the men in the city dead? Hahaha..."
The status of women in the Northern Rong was extremely low. Even a noble woman like a princess would be betrothed to a brave warrior by the Great Khan. Even if the princess was killed, it would only be a simple admission of guilt, and the Great Khan would not pursue the matter and would even reward her with a few more women.
If this is the case even for a princess, let alone ordinary women.
Women are not even as good as cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep can be sold for money, but if women get old and ugly, they are worthless and a waste of food.
The Beirong even have the custom of killing women as a sacrifice to the sky in winter. In fact, they just don't want to waste food on keeping useless women.
As for reproduction, a woman can give birth to many children in her lifetime. It is common for brothers to share one daughter, or even for three generations of a family to share one daughter. As long as they are strong enough, they can snatch more beautiful women. They don't care about the life or death of women.
The Beirong people were extremely sarcastic and spoke foul words.
"This one looks good, with a big butt. It looks like she's good at giving birth. I want it. Don't let anyone snatch it from me later."
"This one is even more exciting, with a knife in hand and legs spread, it looks like a good fuck..."
Pingyang City and Beirong had been fighting for a long time, and they could understand each other's language to some extent, and some Beirong people could also speak Wei language.
The Huo family army was very angry when they heard these words, and they killed even more fiercely!
Li Xiujiu was holding a knife. She had been grinding tofu for years and could push the huge stone mill. She was very strong and her lower body was very stable. She seized the opportunity, leaned over and cut the Beirong man's leg with a knife.
The Beirong man staggered and fell to his knees. With a whoosh, a crossbow shot out and hit him right in the throat.
There are also female soldiers in the crossbow team. Bows and crossbows do not require much strength, what matters is accuracy. The new recruits, regardless of gender, have not undergone much training. The Shenji Battalion has just been formed, and whether the new recruits can hit the target depends on their aura and talent.
"I hit it!" a girl cheered. "It's the first time I've shot so accurately! What's wrong with being a woman? A woman can still kill you!"
Now that Tuolu has climbed up the city wall, Huo Xiao will naturally not let him go easily. This man is quite skilled in martial arts, and ordinary soldiers can do nothing to him.
Tuolu has injured four or five soldiers of the Huo family, but he is also trapped. These soldiers of the Huo family are very difficult to deal with. He boasts of his unparalleled martial arts skills, but he can't break out!
Huo Xiao arrived with a sword in hand, "You did a great job. His martial arts skills are not weak, so we can't force him. Hold him back and kill the others as soon as possible."
Tuolu lashed out with a whip, but it couldn't even reach Huo Xiao's body, so he was hit back.
The whip slipped out of his hand, and he was caught in a weak spot and hit on the arm.
He still had a scimitar, so he immediately fought back and injured two more soldiers of the Huo family.
"Huo Xiao! You are shameless! You are insidious and cunning, setting so many traps. If you have the guts, fight me with real swords and guns."
Huo Xiao chuckled, "You speak well, and it seems that you have a high status in Beirong. This is a war, not a competition. Who wants to compete with you? I will kill you and hang your head on the city wall, and that will be the first victory of the day!"
If Huo Yuanyi were here, he might really fight with Tulu.
But Huo Xiao is different. He doesn't like to do useless work. When fighting, all he needs to do is win. He must win by any means necessary and protect the Huo family army to the greatest extent possible. Nothing else matters.
Huo Xiao stabbed a sword into Tulu's chest, but unfortunately he dodged quickly and the sword missed by an inch.
Tuolu didn't want to lose his life here, so he jumped out of the city wall. The siege vehicle caught him below and saved his life.
