"Kill!" Zhao Jia stood at the top of the city with a sword in his hand, killing the enemy with ordinary soldiers. Although General Cui and the others did not want him to take risks, after all, no matter whether Zhao Jia's identity is true or false, he is now responsible for maintaining the morale of the army, so there must be no more accidents. However, Zhao Jia insisted on going to the battlefield because he knew that the situation was critical tonight. As long as he could appear on the battlefield, it would definitely greatly encourage the morale of the soldiers.

In fact, this is true. After Zhao Jia climbed to the top of the city and personally killed a Jurchen man who climbed to the top of the city, the morale of the soldiers on the city was immediately raised. The fatigue and hunger in his stomach seemed to disappear all of a sudden. The Jurchens attacked the city several times and were driven down by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty. Not only did they not conquer any of the city walls, they also suffered heavy losses. The city walls were covered with the bodies of Jurchens.

The fierce siege continued until midnight. After suffering huge casualties, the Jurchens outside the city were unable to conquer the city walls of Liaoyang Prefecture, which made Aguda helplessly withdraw his troops and return to the camp. The Song army soldiers on the top of the city also cheered loudly when they saw the Jurchens retreating, but then many people collapsed on the ground. They had exhausted their strength before and were all supported by a breath. Now that the Jurchens retreated, they naturally could no longer hold on when they were relaxed. They were lying or sitting, panting, even though they were covered in blood, dead bodies and meat everywhere, they were unwilling to move a little.

"It's time to eat!" However, with a shout, all the soldiers who were originally lying on the ground pretending to be dead bodies got up, and many people fought for the whole day without eating. Naturally, they were naturally hungry. In order to maintain their image, Zhao Jia could not lie on the ground like other soldiers, but she leaned against the city wall and gasped. Now that she heard that the meal was going, she immediately felt hungry in her belly. Even the clear soup she usually drank was a supreme delicacy in him now.

Zhao Jia stood up with the city wall, preparing to see where there was food to eat, but at this moment, General Cui walked over with blood, but with two steaming big bowls in his hand, he came to him and laughed: "Thank you for your hard work, if it weren't for your encouragement, I'm afraid the Jurchens might have been killed in this time. Come and have something to eat!"

Smelling the aroma of the food in the bowl, Zhao Jia felt even more hungry. She took the bowl and was about to drink it, but then he suddenly realized that the bowl was filled with a bowl of meat. This surprised him and asked, "General Cui. Isn't even the food ration in our army almost gone? Where did the meat come from?"

When he heard Zhao Jia's inquiry, General Cui showed a strange smile and said, "Hehe, the most in short supply of meat on the battlefield is meat. For example, the corpses under your feet are all good meat after they are washed?"

As soon as General Cui spoke, Zhao Jia was so scared that his hands trembled and almost threw away the bowl in his hand. He stared at the other party with a nervous look on his face and asked, "General Cui... General Cui, aren't you really eating human flesh?"

Seeing Zhao Jia's nervous look, General Cui couldn't help laughing. After a while, he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we have not been forced to eat human flesh and seek survival. These are horse meat. In order to replenish our brothers' physical strength, Lao Yu ordered his cavalry to kill all the war horses, but even so, at most two beats will be gone."

When Zhao Jia heard that this was horse meat, he was not human flesh. He then relaxed. He had courage to kill people. However, eating people was not just a matter of courage. In addition, he did not expect that Yu Huoshan's hot temper would kill the war horses at such a critical moment. You should know that there were not many cavalry in their Marine Corps. This time, he only brought 3,000 cavalry in the sneak attack on Liaoyang Prefecture. General Yu was the commander of this cavalry and was very caring about war horses. He had shortage of food in the army these days and had no food for war horses. However, he heard that General Yu would rather starve himself and give the dry food to the war horses for food. I believe that when he ordered the killing of war horses as military rations, he would definitely feel very painful.

However, after feeling the feelings, Zhao Jia still picked up the horse meat and started to swallow it. After all, for him now, filling his stomach is the most important thing. Speaking of which, he has not really been hungry since he was a child. Even after entering the navy, he occasionally encounters food shortage. But most of them are at sea, and even if they only fish, they can get enough food. Sometimes, they will feel like vomiting after eating too much fish.

Although the horse meat is light and tasteless, because the army lacks salt and other seasonings, this makes the horse meat a little fishy and smelly, and it is not an environment suitable for eating. For example, within three steps around Zhao Yan, there were no less than ten corpses. Some of the corpses' belly was cut open, revealing the colorful intestines inside. The blood and stench filled the entire space, but Zhao Jia was not affected at all. In the end, not only did he eat up all the meat, but he even licked the bottom of the bowl.

Seeing Zhao Jia starving to death, General Cui laughed and patted his shoulder and said that he was like a man. Then he gave half of his portion to Zhao Jia. Zhao Jia wanted to refuse, but General Cui glared at him and said, "You are so kind, let you eat as much as you want. Eat more to have the strength to kill the enemy. I am older and my appetite is getting worse and worse. If I were young, I could eat a sheep alone."

"Thank you, General!" Zhao Jia also knew that if he refused again, General Cui might be really angry. He thanked him and started eating again. When he licked the bowl clean again, General Cui smiled satisfied.

After dinner, General Cui stood up and seemed to want to leave. But at this time he seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and suddenly asked Zhao Jia in a low voice: "Boy, we have lived and died together on the battlefield. Now tell me the truth, are you real Zhao Jia or fake Zhao Jia?"

No one in this world is a fool. At the beginning, General Cui and the others might think that Zhao Jia was just an ordinary guard, but with Zhao Jia's performance over the past few days, they felt that Zhao Jia's origin was not simple, especially his demeanor, which was not something that ordinary people could possess. In addition, they had also inquired about Zhao Jia's origin in private, but those guards actually kept silent about Zhao Jia's origin, because although they did not know Zhao Jia's true identity, they knew that Zhao Jia was arranged in by Hu Yanping himself later. Therefore, Hu Yanping had already explained to them before and must not disclose any information about Zhao Jia, even if they could not discuss it in private.

From the performance of those personal guards, General Cui and others could naturally guess that Zhao Jia's origin was definitely not simple. In addition, Zhao Jia took the initiative to pretend to be Zhao Jia, and even the reason why he appeared in the army was "made up" by Zhao Jia himself, which made General Cui and others even more suspicious that the outstanding young man in front of him was probably the son of King Yue.

Zhao Jia was not surprised by the questions raised by General Cui, because he knew that there were too many loopholes in the lies he had made up. General Cui and others were all elites in the army. They all looked like rough people, but in fact most of them were meticulous, so it was not surprising that they saw through their lies. However, he did not intend to admit it immediately, but instead gave General Cui a mysterious smile and said: "What are General Cui's words? I am naturally Zhao Jia, the prince of King Yue!"

"Uh?" Seeing Zhao Jia admit it directly, General Cui was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly thought that in order to ensure that the "fake" Zhao Jia's identity in front of him was not revealed, they asked Zhao Jia to claim himself as the Prince of Yue at any time, so he didn't know whether Zhao Jia's words were true or false at this time.

Before General Cui could react, Zhao Jiayi clasped his fists and said, "General Cui, it seems that the Jurchens will not be called again today. I will go to visit General Huyan and say goodbye!"

After Zhao Jia said that, he saluted General Cui, then turned around and left. Zhao Jia has not forgotten to care about Hu Yanping's injuries these days. With his current identity, he can naturally easily see Hu Yanping. Moreover, he has always blamed himself for not being able to help Hu Yanping block the arrow, so he takes time every day to take care of Hu Yanping himself.

Although he was very tired, Zhao Jia still came to Hu Yanping's room. At this time, the medical officer was about to change the medicine for Hu Yanping's wound. Zhao Jia stepped forward to help him personally. However, just as he was about to change the medicine, he suddenly heard Hu Yanping make a sound, and then slowly opened his eyes, which made Zhao Jia excitedly say: "Uncle Ping, you are finally awake!"

Hu Yanping, who had just woken up from a coma, looked at Zhao Jia with some confusion at first. After a while, he thought about his current situation and the assassination before. This shocked him. He immediately wanted to sit up, but it touched the wound on his body. The pain made him sweat on his forehead. At this time, Zhao Jia hurriedly supported him and said, "Uncle Ping, please lie down first. The doctor said that your wound has just started to heal, so you must not move around, otherwise you will tear the wound open again!"

"How long has it been since I was injured?" Hu Yanping said hoarsely. Although he could eat some liquid food in his coma these days, it was very limited after all, and his throat was dry and he had some difficulty speaking.

"It's been four days, but Uncle Ping, don't worry, everything is normal in the army. Although the Jurchens outside the city launched a crazy attack today, they were still defeated by us." Zhao Jia also said happily at this time, and helped Hu Yanping take a glass of water and handed it over. Although he was just a temporary commander of the army and he didn't have to worry about most of the affairs, he was still under huge pressure. Now that Hu Yanping woke up, he suddenly felt that the burden on his body was much lighter.

"It's been four days. Don't the army know about me being injured and unconscious?" Hu Yanping asked in surprise when he heard this, and even forgot to drink the water handed over by Zhao Jia.
