Chapter 1952 People are competing to eat
Although he took down Jian'an City, Hua Qiu was still very unhappy. This time he ambitiously surrounded Jian'an City, just to annihilate all the Wu army in one fell swoop.
But unexpectedly, there was a gap in the Hundred Secrets, and the Wu people actually escaped from the water. Even if the Shanyue people took down Jian'an City, it was just an empty city. Such victory was not very similar to what Hua Qiu expected, and it inevitably made him feel a little depressed.
Of course, this is also helpless. Jian'an City has no special solution to the water environment on three sides, and Huaqiu has no special way. After all, in the water battle, it is the shortcomings of the Shanyue people. Although they set up barriers with bamboo and wood on Jianxi, they still cannot stop the departure of Wu's army. Those levels were as pale as paper and were easily broken by the Wu army's warships.
After hearing this, Hua Qiu couldn't help but get furious. Are these people all pigs' brains? They can't stop them on the water. Can't you shoot arrows on the shore?
The Shanyue soldiers were also very aggrieved. Jianxi was so wide and the river was pitch black. There was no trace of his hand. Where did the arrow shoot?
This is probably the reason why Liu Ping chose to break through in the middle of the night. It was rainy and rainy during this period. There was no moon or starlight at night, and it was pitch black. Even if the people of Shanyue knew that Wu was breaking through on the water, they had no choice.
Hua Qiu also knew the reason, but he was angry and lost his temper. In the end, Hua Qiu did not hold anyone responsible, but issued an order to attack the city at dawn.
At this time, most of the Wu army had fled, and Jian'an's city defense was useless. The Shanyue people easily captured Jian'an City without encountering any resistance.
Not much different from what Hua Qiu expected. Most of the Wu people in the city had escaped, leaving only a few people. After the Shanyue people entered the city, they slaughtered and killed no one to keep.
Of course, Hua Qiu would not stop the barbaric behavior of Shanyue people. He originally planned to take Jian'an, Shanyue people would celebrate the victory by massacreing the city, but now there are not many people who can slaughter them, and they have to use chickens and dogs to make up the numbers, which obviously made them feel very unhappy.
At this time, a good news came from the people below. They caught the Emperor Sun Hao of Wu, which made Hua Qiu overjoyed, and at the same time, he also had a hint of suspicion. Is this true or false? Isn't it said that most of the officials and troops of the Wu army fled? How could the emperor of Wu be stranded in Jian'an? Could it be that someone faked it?
Hua Qiu ordered Sun Hao to be brought to him. Although Sun Hao was dressed in emperor's clothes, he looked extremely embarrassed, his face was filled with horror, and his face looked particularly pale. Hua Qiu didn't recognize Sun Hao, so he did not infer whether the emperor was true or false.
So Hua Qiu ordered the killing to stop and find some Wu people who knew Sun Hao to defend it. This trick was indeed effective. Many captured Wu people all pointed out that Sun Hao was the emperor of the current Wu Kingdom.
Hua Qiu was very satisfied with this. Although most of the Wu people ran away, he still caught a big fish. Although he was very surprised at why Sun Hao appeared outside the city, these were irrelevant. As long as it could be confirmed that he was the Emperor of Wu.
Just as Hua Qiu was still thinking about how to deal with Sun Hao, his subordinates came to report that the abducted Shanyue people had been found.
After the capture of Jian'an this time, the Shanyue people not only came to massacre the city, but also had a more important responsibility, which was to find those tribe members who were captured by the Wu people.
After entering the city at first, they did not find any traces of Shanyue people in the city. They only thought that the Wu people took all of these Shanyue people away when they evacuated. However, after careful search, they found that their tribe members were not taken away, but were imprisoned in the dungeon. The dungeon was dark, no wonder they did not find it at the first time.
Originally, Shanyue soldiers opened the dungeon with joy and prepared to rescue their compatriots, but after entering the dungeon, they were all shocked. There were countless white bones piled up in the dungeon, dark, warm, dirty and terrifying, as if they were hell on earth.
Originally, there were thousands of Shanyue prisoners imprisoned in this dungeon, but when they were rescued, there were no more than 300 people who could walk out of the dungeon gate alive. They were all pale and thin, dying, not much different from dying people.
It turned out that after these Shanyue people were captured, they were escorted to Jian'an City to build palaces and engaged in the most tiring labor. Many people were either tired to death by vomiting blood or whipped to death by the Wu people who were taking care of them. In just a few dozen days, most of these slaves died.
But the Wu people didn't care. All they wanted was the speed of construction. Anyway, there would be a steady stream of Shanyue slaves sent, and it would be a pity to die.
But the good times did not last long. Wan Yu, who went to conquer Shanyue, was suppressed by Shanyue people. Shanyue people counterattacked and surrounded Jian'an City.
Under such circumstances, the construction of the palace could only be suspended. The Wu people locked these Shanyue slaves into the dungeon. At first, they would throw some food in, but later, the Wu people themselves also had a shortage of food, so they no longer gave these slaves food and let them fend for themselves.
In the narrow dungeon, the Shanyue people tortured by hunger could only crazily eat the bodies of their dead companions, those who were weak and sick and unable to torture and die prematurely.
But soon all these corpses were eaten, leaving only a bunch of bones left, but the famine continued, and the hungry eyes were like wild animals, staring at the living people. In fact, eating dead bodies is essentially no different from eating living people. In such a dark place, in order to survive, only people compete to eat.
For a bite of food, almost all these Shanyue people are going crazy. Today, they may be able to bite the bloody flesh and breathe. But tomorrow, you may become the food in the mouth of others. This place has completely become the existence of the devil hell. If they were not rescued and could see the light of day again, then it is very likely that they will continue to kill each other until there is only the last person left--even no one exists.
Everyone who steps here has a kind of depression that is suffocating from the nearest place. Even if the Shanyue people live in an extremely primitive and wilderness, they still have a moral bottom line, but in order to survive, this moral bottom line is still ruthlessly trampled on.
This place has become the cruelest Shura hell, a real purgatory.
