Night falls soon It was pitch black everywhere, except for the barbarian camp three miles away on the Jianning city wall, which was brightly lit, lighting up the dark night.
"General" a cry sounded from the city wall.
After the barbarian army withdrew, Liu Cong, who had been staying by the city wall, turned around with his sword in hand and saw Jiang Wan standing behind him with several soldiers holding some food.
The corpses piled up on the passage of the city wall were also carried away and placed properly.
Only the blood stains flowing all over the city wall could not be removed.
After drying, they turned black and looked a bit eerie under the light of the fire.
Seeing that Liu Cong didn't speak, Jiang Wan waved to the soldiers holding food to place the food on the ground.
After those soldiers left.
"General, it's time to eat," Jiang Wan reminded.
Liu Cong nodded, sat cross-legged on the ground casually, looked at the food in front of him, and asked: "What are the casualties of our army?"
"Including the injured, there are less than five thousand soldiers," Jiang Wan replied with grief in his eyes.
Liu Cong was stunned for a moment.
Although he knew the casualties would be heavy, he did not expect them to be so severe.
Now even including the injured, there were less than 5,000 people.
It could be said that the entire army was about to be annihilated in this battle.
After thinking about it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
If the barbarian army had not withdrawn in the end, the whole army would have been wiped out by now.
"There are less than five thousand people," Liu Cong lamented.
Jiang Wan didn't know why Liu Cong was lamenting, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Liu Cong ignored Jiang Wan and glanced around the city wall passage.
I saw.
The flickering firelight shone on the faces of many soldiers.
On the faces that looked a little numb, a famous soldier was holding food in his hands and eating slowly one bite at a time.
Although the expressions of many soldiers were a little numb, there was no gray color in their eyes, but sadness and fighting spirit, proving that they still had vitality.
"Gong Yan, ask someone to bring up all the drinks," Liu Cong suddenly said.
"Ah this" Jiang Wan obviously didn't react.
"Go ahead, the barbarian army won't come to attack the city again tonight, and I know it well."
Liu Cong turned his head and glanced at the barbarian army camp far outside the city, waving his hand.
"promise" Jiang Wan thought for a while, no longer hesitated, bowed his hands and walked away, taking more than a hundred soldiers with him down the city wall. from time to time
Jiang Wan, who led more than a hundred soldiers down the city wall, led them up again.
The difference was that before going down, they were all empty-handed.
When they came up, everyone was carrying several jars of wine in both hands.
On the passage of the city wall, there were soldiers sitting casually in twos and threes, eating each bite of food.
They also noticed that they had some confusion in their eyes, but they did not speak.
They also all know that the current situation is just waiting for the next wave of attacks to arrive.
This may also be their last supper.
Jiang Wan brought up more than a hundred soldiers with wine and placed them everywhere, and then asked the soldiers to start pouring the wine.
Everyone filled it, and no one was left behind.
Finally, he came to Liu Cong and poured a bowl for Liu Cong himself, as well as his own.
Liu Cong stood up with the wine bowl in hand, looked at the soldiers on the city wall passage, and said loudly: "You came with me from Guangxin and fought bloody battles to ensure the peace of Jiaozhou.
I, Liu Cong, was powerless and let you down, leaving many soldiers buried.
"Being here" "However, you are all good sons and daughters of Jiaozhou, upright men.
This first glass of wine is a tribute to the brothers who have never left."
As soon as Liu Cong's words changed, he spilled half of the wine in the wine bowl on the passage of the city wall, and drank the remaining half in one gulp.
"Respect the brothers who never left."

Jiang Wan also stood up and echoed.
"Respect the brothers who never left" All the soldiers on the city wall passage stood up.
Even the injured who could not stand were helped up by the other soldiers, holding the wine bowl high.
Using the same action as Liu Cong, he spilled half of the wine in the wine bowl and drank half of it.
Soon, someone else came forward and filled the wine bowls of many soldiers with wine.
"This second glass of wine, I still wish to thank you brothers for standing up and coming with me when you are in trouble.
But I, Liu Cong, do not have the ability to bring you here, but I cannot take you back safely."
After saying that, Liu Cong drank the wine in the wine bowl in one gulp and quickly refilled it.
"After Jianning, there are our fellow villagers.
Once the city is broken, nothing can stop the Nanman army from attacking.
Therefore, we must stick to this place and intercept the Nanman army outside Jianning.
If the Nanman army takes one step, it will not stop until death."
Liu Cong shouted.
"I am willing to fight with the general until death" "I am willing to fight with the general until death" "I am willing to fight with the general until death" On the city wall passage, the surviving soldiers shouted loudly.
"This third glass of wine should be regarded as the farewell wine we drank in advance, and here's to you all." snap After finishing speaking, Liu Cong drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and slammed the wine bowl on the passage.
The wine bowl instantly fell into pieces.
"Respect all of you"
Snap, snap, snap The sound of wine bowls falling down one by one rang out, like a solemn farewell song being played.
"Everyone has had enough to eat and drink tonight, and tomorrow I will kill him and turn everything upside down," Liu Cong drew out his sword and shouted loudly.
"kill" "kill" "kill" Many soldiers also shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heaven and the earth.
Now the expressions of the soldiers on the passage of the city wall are no longer numb, but very determined, with hot fighting spirit in their eyes.
After a day of fighting, the evil spirits all over their bodies have dispersed, gathered together, and shot straight into the sky.
Desire seemed to pierce the dark night sky.
The general is the soul of an army.
When the general is there, the morale is there.
Liu Cong's determination and fearlessness of death also influenced many soldiers.
Jiang Wan looked at the many soldiers who were full of fighting spirit, and felt a little happy in his heart.
Even he himself felt that his blood was boiling.
Although he knew that without the arrival of reinforcements, they would only have one ending, but there was still something wrong with that.
What is terrible, what is terrible is the death of the heart.
On the city wall passage.
Now it is no longer as silent and lifeless as before.
The soldiers are walking around, drinking from big bowls and eating meat with big mouthfuls, looking full of life.
There were shouts and shouts everywhere.
Seeing this situation, Liu Cong also put a smile on his lips, and sat opposite Jiang Wan, drinking wine and eating meat.
But neither of them mentioned what would happen if the barbarian army launched an attack or how to resist.
They were just joking and talking about some interesting things.
After all, now, there is no need to discuss any countermeasures, it is enough to just fight to the death.
The situation on the city wall also spread to the barbarian camp.
Meng Huo and others had no opinion on this at all, thinking that they were just struggling to their death
