For a lone army, the most important thing is hope.
Of course, the situation of Shengle's army is not as pitiful as that of a "lone army" in the traditional sense, because the barbarians on the opposite side have not put much substantial pressure on them these days.
The defense of the city slowly turned into the feeling of checking in at the yamen. Sometimes I was really bored, so I deliberately showed my flaws and let the barbarians come in to play, and enthusiastically let them stay overnight.
However, when the savage front line collapsed, the atmosphere in Shengle City still ushered in a surge. They actually knew why they were staying here, and they understood that after the final battle was successful, They, oh no, what kind of rewards their General Zheng will receive and what achievements he will make, so the cheers on the city wall rise one after another.
But Liang Cheng did not take it lightly at all. He did not go down to the city wall at night and continued to patrol the city wall. This was to prevent the savages from completely destroying the city wall.
We have taken ninety-nine steps. If we fall at the dawn of victory, it will be such a loss.
Zheng Fan came down early. He was in a comfortable mood and asked someone to boil some hot water for him and took a nice bath.
Because there are demon kings outside who are carrying the burden for you diligently, General Zheng can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the years with peace of mind at this time.
After taking a bath, he felt refreshed, but because he was too excited and couldn't sleep for the time being, Zheng Fan simply walked out of the house and came to the street.
A Ming and more than 20 soldiers stood at the door to protect General Zheng's safety.
Because there were actually many people on the street, when the barbarians first attacked the city, they drove many Jin slaves.
As a result, these slaves basically played no role because the savages were operating blindly.
Later, under Zheng Fan's instructions, among the Jin slaves under the city wall, adult women and children were let into the city, while the elderly and men were turned away.
Some people who did not meet the requirements saw the city gate open and tried to come in, but were shot directly by the defenders on the city wall.
So, at this time, there were many women and children in Xueguan. They found some things and set up tents. They were allocated a small amount of rations every day, which was just enough to ensure that they would not starve to death. .
War does not tolerate much kindness. This is the greatest kindness Zheng Fan can do.
Old man, you can die, you have lived a long time anyway, just give the chance of survival to the young;
Adult men, God knows if there are any savages among them. The spy over there?
After all, it is not unheard of for the Savage King to use the methods of the Jin Ren and the Japanese Japs.
As for women, okay, even if there is "Yoshiko Kawashima" in them,
General Zheng will admit it.
So, that night outside the city wall was very touching. Most husbands and fathers took the initiative to send their wives and children into the city with tears in their eyes.They themselves huddled silently in the corner of the city wall, suffering from hunger.
When the savages came to attack the city again the next day, some people did continue to be confused, but there were also many people who took the initiative to pick up weapons from the corpses of the savages around them and went up to fight the savages.
Although they failed to achieve much success, they finally managed to win a battle before they died.
Perhaps they believe that their performance and death in battle can provide them with a chance and qualification to survive for their wives and children who have entered the customs.
Due to the savages’ behavior of “moving hamsters” in the past, a lot of food was left in the Snow Customs. However, food rationing actually started very early because no one knew how long it would take for the battle on the front line to end. Yan When will the main force of the army arrive? Therefore, we must plan ahead and save money in advance.
These women and children have become very thin these days, and their faces also show a state of malnutrition.
However, tonight, extra food was sent, because the savages had already broken out outside, proving that the Yan army led by Marquis Jingnan had won the victory on the frontal battlefield, and everyone continued to hold on here. The time will naturally be greatly shortened, so there is no need to save it so deliberately.
A soldier came over with a porridge bucket and began to divide the porridge. It was not as thin as before, but this time it was quite thick.
Women and children lined up to receive porridge.
Those who disobeyed were killed.
It is either cruelty, tolerance for a few people at special moments, or irresponsibility for everyone.
Why did General Zheng have to wait here with a group of soldiers when he went home to take a bath?
Because General Zheng once came back to work as a foreigner and took a nap when he came out. A woman tried to assassinate him with an arrowhead hidden from somewhere.
Fortunately, General Zheng always wears armor when he goes out. No matter how hardworking a foreigner Zheng Fan is, he would not dare to wander around in casual clothes in a battlefield environment. Moreover, General Zheng is also a seventh-level warrior, so he is a He kicked away the woman who tried to assassinate him without even using the magic pill.
The woman was executed, along with one of her children.
During the death interrogation, the woman revealed the reason for assassinating Zheng Fan, because Zheng Fan did not let her parents and husband enter the city, so they all died outside the city.
The woman was not a savage spy. She assassinated Zheng Fan only because of this hatred. To be precise, she blamed Zheng Fan for this hatred.
Zheng Fan doesn’t feel too sad about this, nor does he think that his good intentions are being treated like a fool. After more experience, he naturally understands that most people in this world, he It is difficult to be absolutely calm and clear about love and hate at any moment.
The other women and children who were taken in last time in the city were not implicated in this. However, there was a group of Jin female slaves who were the first to be liberated in the city, holding simple sticks and watching them specially.
Men don’t have time to do this job, because there can’t be fewer people on the city wall.
Zheng Fan walked to a woman who was carefully blowing porridge and feeding her child.
Long-term malnutrition left her with little milk.
This woman was exactly the one Zheng Fan saw curling up in a corner to feed her child on the city wall that day.
That’s how the eyes come together.
Because she had touched and left an impression on Zheng Fan that day, every time Zheng Fan came in and out of the house, he would bring a candy to his child.
Sugar is brown sugar,
Yes,
That’s right,
No matter how hard it is, no matter how tired and materials are tight, the leader’s share is There will be no reduction. General Zheng still has a lot of snacks that Siniang prepared for him when he went on an expedition.
A piece of brown sugar was put into the porridge bowl.
The woman looked at Zheng Fan and wanted to stand up and kowtow to Zheng Fan out of habit, but Zheng Fan still stretched out his hand to hold the woman down out of habit, indicating that no need.
Every time, it’s like this.
Actually, for the first time, it was sincere.
The second time,
Zheng Fan discovered that the woman deliberately let the part where she was breastfeeding touch Zheng Fan's hand.
Women's clothes are very simple and tattered, and it is difficult to keep out the cold.
Zheng Fan didn't think that a woman's behavior should be despised.
In this situation, there was a child beside her, and there really wasn't much she could rely on.
However, even if your face is a little dirty, you can be sure that if you freshen up and dress up, you will be fine.
Although the demon kings privately believe that their master’s taste is no different from that of the Cao thief,
General Zheng is not likely to have any other thoughts in this situation.
Even though he had regretted more than once why he had left Siniang to guard the house in the first place! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Instructed A Ming to find some clothes for the woman and bring some candy or other snacks to the child every time he went in and out. This was all Zheng Fan could do now.
Yes, he can give the woman and this child better dignity and special treatment, but now that the future of the big guy is uncertain, there is really no need for that.
However, after so many days, the woman's way of thanking General Zheng has not changed.
Because once, General Zheng shamelessly curled his fingers.
It was just that one time,
It was really just that one time,
After curling up for a moment, Zheng Fan felt that he was too evil and shameless, It's so weird.
But the woman smiled.
This time, Zheng Fan quickly retracted his hand and said:
"The battle is almost over."
The woman was stunned.
The child wants to continue drinking porridge. Drinking porridge sweet with brown sugar water is enough.He started to cry, but the woman was indifferent.
Zheng Fan looked at her and continued:
"We are going to win."
The woman looked at Zheng Fan blankly,
On her face,
it no longer had the cunning attitude of a bad sister teasing her cute little brother.
On the contrary,
tears began to fall one by one. fall down.
"Will the savage...will die..."
The woman asked.
"Yes."
Zheng Fan nodded,
And added: "Not a single one left, all dead."
What kind of commander is Tian Wujing?
Zheng Fan knew it clearly when he ordered Zheng Fan to contaminate the water source of the snowfield with corpses and feces during his last expedition to the snowfield.
What’s more, Tian Wujing’s hair hadn’t turned white yet during the last expedition to the snowfield.
Although he has not received specific military orders, and although he has not yet been contacted by the outside world, Zheng Fan knows that the barbarians who enter the Jin Dynasty this time will not end well.
There is no Geneva Convention in this world.
The woman began to cry loudly,
while crying she muttered several names.
It can be seen that the woman should have had a good family background, but everything was ruined.
After the child in his arms heard his mother crying, he stopped crying and began to actively rub his face against his mother.
Zheng Fan stood up and walked towards the city wall without further delay.
Behind him,
A Ming pointed at the woman and child to a soldier beside him,
said:
"Arrangement Take care of it."
"Here."
On weekdays, people always want to test human nature, but in a war environment, there is no need to test it. Everything has been torn apart.
When Zheng Fan walked through the open space between the "residential area" and the city wall,
he looked up at the nine wooden stakes.
Hanging on the wooden stakes were three corpses of Sheng Lejun and six corpses of male slaves.
Because there are many women in the city, many people have other thoughts.
For example, if you use the food you allocate and divide a little bit, you can get it from women...
Another example, if you are wearing the armor of Shengle Army, here, you are master.
Actually, it sounds a bit cruel. During the war, letting the soldiers vent can effectively stabilize the morale and morale of the army. Before the Shengle Army went on the expedition, the red tents in Shengle City were once full, and the queues stretched into the streets.
But here, who calls Liang Cheng a pursuing general? He does not want the army he has built and trained with his own hands to become the kind of army that cannot fight without rewards, without women and without smoke. pure warlord army.
Under the harsh punishment, everyone conscientiously controlled the little bird under their crotch.
Furthermore, as the savage sieges became less and less effective, everyone's restless mood was greatly relieved.
Later, when Liang Cheng and Zheng Fan explained, they said that when the Xue Customs was guarded and the battle was successfully concluded, then the Sheng Le Army that would drive out from here would not matter whether they were from Jin or not. The quality and core of Yan people or barbarians will be greatly improved and they will be sublimated.
Even if they only have less than 5,000 people left, or even only 3,000 or 2,000 people, with these people as the backbone, they will soon be able to support a strong army.
This is the inheritance of an army and the foundation of an army. After this great battle, the achievements of the Shengle Army are undoubtedly the first glory to be gained.
In the military, this is actually very important. It may be difficult for outsiders to understand, but the self-confidence of a truly strong army needs them as the foundation.
The Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army have fought successively in recent years. Veterans have died in battle and new recruits have joined in to replace them. Why are their combat effectiveness still so strong?
It is for this reason that when a new soldier enters this army, he will be immediately infected by the atmosphere and glory here. When the soldier becomes brave and unafraid of death, even if he is not an elite, he will become a soldier. The gap between them and the elites is not that big, not to mention that there are veterans around them.
Zheng Fan naturally agreed unconditionally with Liang Cheng's plan to build an army. As the same saying goes, professional people do professional things;
Zheng Fan was willing to do Liu Bang's work. The most important thing about being willing to let Liang Cheng be Han Xin is that the special relationship between him and Liang Cheng will not cause the problem of antagonism between Liu Bang and Han Xin in the future.
Since ancient times, it is not difficult for a superior to have capable subordinates. The difficulty lies in how to prevent capable subordinates from rebelling and usurping power. The examples of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms are there.
Only the special bond between the Lord and the Seven Demon Kings can truly solve this dilemma fundamentally.
Didn’t you see that even the magic pill had to hold its nose to protect its father?
On the tower, everyone was in high spirits, because the portion of food had doubled in the evening, and some wine was even served, which was just enough to moisten the throat and drive away the cold, but people are always good at comparing. Give yourself a sense of happiness.
The barbarian stronghold outside the city is still very quiet. No one knows what is happening in the barbarian stronghold now. Zheng Fan is also curious whether the barbarian king is also in the collapse. Or he was directly killed in the rout on the Wangjiang front line.
You are a powerful man, but you meet the Marquis of Jingnan.
Oh...
Zheng Fan took out a cigarette and lit it. He felt that the atmosphere at this time and the scene in the distance matched a cigarette very well.
Actually, to be honest, Zheng Fan still admires the Savage King, because he was almost successful, but his fate was so helpless.
BeautyLing Zeng made a prophecy that the Holy Clan would prosper.
But the barbarians who wanted to prosper encountered Dayan, whose country was on the decline.
This feeling of powerlessness is very similar to that of the former Southeast Asian bully.
Under the inner city wall, Xue San was directing the soldiers to re-adjust and inspect the trebuchet.
Fan Li led his men and began to carry bundles of arrows and other city defense equipment and supplies to the city wall.
Liang Cheng rearranged the number and equipment of the guards on the city wall.
A Ming stole a cigarette from Zheng Fan and bit it in his mouth.
"I don't have much left."
General Zheng said with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Lord, the savages have drunk too much blood these days and are tired of it."
After saying that, A Ming also ordered one. A cigarette, and at the same time handed back the small iron cigarette box that Xue San specially customized for Zheng Fan.
The front of the cigarette box is engraved with two big characters: China;
The back is engraved with six characters: Smoking is harmful to health.
It can be said that it is quite a pursuit of refinement and ritual.
"Do you miss the wine cellar at home?" Zheng Fan asked.
A Ming nodded.
"This battle is almost over." Zheng Fan said again.
A Ming nodded again.
"When the battle is over..."
"Lord, don't raise the flag."
"Yes, my fault."
p>
Zheng Fan finished smoking,
A Ming reached out to take it,
then reached out and threw it out of the battlement,
when he took his hand back ,
I found an arrow stuck in my palm.
"Alas..."
A Ming sighed.
"Hehe."
Zheng Fan couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
Outside the city,
arrows were shot one after another.
At the same time,
there were also the cries of killing from savages.
For the first time,
the savages launched a night attack on the city.
…………
Alai, wearing white wolf skin, escaped again.
His escape ability is indeed very strong.
The last time,
in the snowy field,
faced the attack of the Jingnan Army,
He escaped in the end. Although he was almost caught by the short Yanren general, there was nothing in the end, right?
This time, the situation was more dangerous than last time, but without the little man, Alai still escaped.
He didn’t know how much Yan people’s attention he had attracted, and he didn’t have time to think about it. He knew that from the moment he put on Wang’s costume, the later he got caught, the more likely Wang would be. The pressure on the sides will be smaller.
The defeated savages are everywhere.
After all, it would be difficult for Yan people to chop down more than 100,000 pigs in one go.
But the spirit of the savage army has been destroyed by the Yan people. Unless they can return to the snowfield to reorganize and cultivate themselves, it will be difficult for these armies to gather together, let alone fight like a wolf again. Tiger's Yan people went to war.
But the funny thing is that Alai knows that Xue Customs is still in the hands of the Yan people.
Alai was not particularly surprised by the sudden "rise" of the Yan Army. He had personally witnessed and witnessed the strength of the Yan Jingnan Army. However, he had actually been lucky in his heart before. of.
Let’s take a look at that damn star. Can you please help me for the sake of the Holy Race enshrining it for so many years?
But it is obvious that the stars are still so high and untainted by dust.
Alai was a little tired. He had just killed a Yan cavalry who was chasing him. This was a difficult opponent. The opponent stared at him and he tried to throw him away many times. Couldn't get rid of him.
But fortunately, during the final fight, his knife penetrated his neck first, but his abdomen was also stabbed by the opponent's saber.
Wounds are not easy to deal with, and now is not the time to stop and deal with them.
He cannot stay here for too long, he must continue to escape.
My mission has probably been completed, so the next step is to try to survive.
Alai doesn’t know what the use is of surviving. Perhaps the simplest idea is to survive and return to the king. Next time, the king will not have to find someone new. Let's dress him up.
This idea is a bit unlucky, but Alai doesn’t care about it anymore.
He continued to move forward, heading east. He knew clearly that the fleeing savages must also be heading east.
Suddenly,
an arrow shot over and landed in front of Alai.
Alai glanced at the arrow,
It was a savage, one of his own.
Alai covered the wound on his abdomen with his left hand and growled:
"It's me."
Alai has already entered the state. At this time , he instinctively believed that he was still the king.
Maybe, on the one hand, he felt that the king's identity could make the nearby savages gather around him again, so as to attract the attention of the pursuing Yan people and continue to reduce the pressure on the king.
On the other hand, it may be because he is injured now. If he is accompanied by a group of savage warriors, he will have a greater chance of returning alive.
As for which reason is the main reason, even Alai himself may not know.
In front, more than thirty savages came out. The leader, Alai recognized, was a Qianhu.
"See the King!"
A group of savages knelt down.
"Get up."
AhRai waved his hand.
The Qianhu stood up and came over to hold Alai's hand. But at this moment, he suddenly exerted force and threw Alai to the ground. The other savage warriors around him immediately came over to get the horse rope. Alai was tied up.
Alai wanted to resist, but firstly, his strength was almost exhausted, and secondly, there were injuries on his body. This Qianhu also had some skills, so he took advantage of the situation and hit him when he fell down. His neck caused his body to fall into paralysis.
"King, there are Yan people in front of us. We have just been driven back. We have been defeated. King, as long as you are handed over, we can get a chance to survive among the Yan people. Don't blame us."
......
The pursuing army of Yan State spread out in a fan shape to the east, sweeping all the way, trying to annihilate the fleeing savages as much as possible.
Of course, that is just cleaning up some leftovers. According to the current situation, there are still some organized savages who have broken down and are heading east with all their strength from the beginning.
The Marquis of Jingnan personally led 30,000 cavalry, following closely behind.
In the Battle of Wangjiang, the savages were completely defeated. What we have to do now is to seize the time to prevent the possibility of the savages regrouping.
It is best to defeat them again before they are about to gather or just when they gather, and the defeated savages, that is, the Yan army will just waste some effort to collect their heads.
However, there is another purpose for Marquis Jingnan to march in such a hurry, that is, Zheng Fan's Sheng Le Army has been stationed at Xue Customs for a long time.
Just like Zheng Fan didn't know the specific situation on the Wangjiang front line, Marquis Jingnan didn't know what the situation was like for Sheng Lejun at Xuehaiguan.
Our battlefields are too far apart. Even if they want to convey some news to each other, they can only rely on the only messenger between the two to convey it.
Yes,
The messenger is the savage.
Tian Wujing understood from the reaction of the savages that there might be problems in the savages' rear route;
Zheng Fan, on his side, saw from the savages' defeated army that Yan Yan on the front line The army has already won a great victory.
But this kind of communication is too simple, so simple that it can only be understood but not expressed in words in the true sense.
As for Marquis Jingnan,
he didn’t know that General Zheng had been eating and sleeping so hard these days that he was so bored that he felt like he was about to break through while practicing.
Also I don’t know that General Zheng would also tease the children with brown sugar, and his fingers even curled up uncontrollably in an evil way.
From the perspective of Marquis Jingnan,
In other words,
Leaving aside the master-disciple relationship between him and Zheng Fan,
Leave aside the fact that his son, Zheng Fan’s godfather, is still being raised by Zheng Fan in Shengle City,
Simply speaking from the perspective of a head coach,
A lone army is already here Under the premise of making such a huge contribution to the army's campaign,
No matter what,
you have to seize the time to support them and rescue them.
As a general, the most important thing is to distinguish rewards and punishments.
So,
Jingnan Hou was afraid that Zheng Fan might not be able to hold on tonight or tomorrow morning and collapse, and finally die tragically.
This time He directly led his cavalry to carry out crazy military movements in an almost non-stop manner.
This is a very risky behavior, because once the defeated barbarian army in front responds to the barbarian soldiers and horses outside Xuehaiguan, they can completely attack Jingnan Hou’s pursuing Yan army. Make dumplings in reverse.
But maybe it’s because the barbarians have lost their courage, or maybe it’s because the barbarians’ command system has collapsed.
It’s more likely because the banner of Jingnan Hou pursuing from behind is just too big. It's scary. The savages no longer have the courage to turn around and face the cavalry led by the Yan Nanhou.
In short,
pursue all the way.
The Marquis of Jingnan kept chasing, and the barbarians kept running away;
The barbarians in front would fall behind from time to time, but the Marquis of Jingnan didn’t bother to allocate energy to deal with them, and just ignored them and continued. Xiangdong, on the contrary, made the savages who were either preparing to surrender or prepare to fight to the death with the Yan people and return to the stars feel very helpless, as if their emotions had been ruined.
......
The war situation in the Three Jin Dynasties, and even the overall situation in the entire north, is undergoing rapid changes. More than sixty miles south of Yupan City, There were two horses galloping fast.
The Eighth Prince's face was in pain. He was used to riding in carriages, and he had never experienced the pain of such a bumpy ride. He felt that his legs were already burning and bleeding.
But he didn't dare to complain at all, because if he didn't leave now, or if he delayed anything, he might not be able to leave.
/p>
As for Yupan City, the Yan people are still mainly besieging it. Therefore, the Yan people have not had time to disperse too many troops to expand to the south. This also creates opportunities for the sword maker and the Eighth Prince to escape. Chance.
From here, go south along the Wangjiang River, then turn east along the tributary of the Wangjiang River, and then cross the river, and you will almost enter the Chu Land.
Although it is still far away from the pass between Chu Di and Situ's family, which is heavily guarded by the Chu army, that location is really too far to the east, and the savages also fled in that direction. , the Yan people will definitely chase after them. The two of them dare not go there, and would rather go over the mountains and ridges to have a hard time.
On horseback,
His Eighth Prince almost cried and wailed:
“Aren’t you one of the four great swordsmen? You won’t look like the one in the scroll. Like the Sword Immortal, flying directly with Gu Yujian?"
The sword maker?He replied:
"My sword can only carry one person."
The Eighth Prince said seriously with a mournful face:
"It is my loneliness that is dragging you down. ”
As the most mysterious of the Four Great Swordsmen, the world only knows that he is good at making swords, but no one has ever seen him take action.
Many people believe that this sword maker may not be a master at all. It is purely because he gave the Dragon Abyss forged by himself to the Sword Master, and the Sword Master praised him a few words. Only then did he become famous.
But many Chu people firmly believe that this one of the four great swordsmen of the Chu State is just hiding it and is too lazy to take action.
Regardless of whether you are the real Four Swordsmen or the Four Swordsmen who are mixed with water,
For the senior officials and nobles of Chu State,
As long as you You just need to bear the name of the Four Great Swordsmen. Therefore, everyone in the Chu Kingdom has great respect for this sword maker. Even when the late emperor was in power, whenever he saw him, he would call him "Sir".
/p>
But now,
Seeing that the sword maker was just like him, gritting his teeth while riding a horse, with a look of pain on his face,
The Eighth Prince I feel more and more that this "sir" may really be...
"Twenty miles further south, we will meet the Dachu caravan that will support us." The swordmaker said .
"Is it true?" His Highness the Eighth Prince said in surprise.
"I arranged it myself, that is my family's caravan."
"Sir, you are indeed far-sighted."
"That's natural." Making swords The teacher replied like this.
In fact, this caravan came here because people in the family wanted to transport goods back. It was not just the savages who were robbing and looting, but the Chu army was actually not idle either, just because the Chu army needed to be stationed. Yupan City was wary of the Yan army, so it didn't dare to be as exaggerated as the savages, but it also accumulated a lot of materials that originally belonged to the Jin people.
The value of these materials is greatly reduced here, but if they are transported into the country, their value will be their real value.
People in the family sent a letter to contact him last month. The sword maker just put down the letter and didn't take it seriously, because it was not only his own family who did this, but also members of Qu Tiannan's Qu family caravan. Coming early is an established rule.
Since the nobles sent out their own private soldiers to fight, then 10% of the captured spoils and property should be kept and handed over to His Majesty’s treasury. As long as everyone can live with it, the rest will be enough. , give part to the sergeants, and the rest will naturally go into the pockets of that noble family.
However, this kind of good life will obviously not last long, because His Highness the Fourth Prince who is about to ascend the throne, judging from his original actions, obviously wants to imitate the Emperor Yan.
The Eighth Prince suddenly askedSaid:
"Sir, what should we do with the Qingluan Army in Yupan City?"
"Please ask for reinforcements after returning home."
" The savages here have been defeated, the Qingluan army is trapped, and the fourth brother, the fourth brother's side..."
The sword maker knew that the Eighth Prince was worried that the Fourth Prince's good situation in the country would be destroyed. Destruction, this child, even though he looks like a little fox at ordinary times, he has not fully grown up and has not really settled down. At this moment, it is inevitable to panic.
"What are you afraid of? After the Yan people expelled the barbarians, it was equivalent to annexing the entire Sanjin land. The Yan people were attacked at the door of their homes, and those old immortals at home still dared to pull the strings. The legs continue to fight?
This is a good thing for His Highness. ”
As he said that, the sword maker couldn’t help but sigh:
"It's just that now that the Yan people are in a strong position, I, Da Chu, must join forces with the Gan people next."
......
It lasted all night In the siege battle, the savages broke out with amazing fighting power, which was a blowout forced out of despair.
Even once, the savages stormed the city wall and occupied multiple points on the city wall.
But fortunately, the Shengle Army was not completely overwhelmed by the appearance of the barbarians' rout. Instead, they were actively preparing for the barbarians' death struggle.
When the savages stormed the tower, they sent fresh troops to drive them down. Wherever there were loopholes, they repaired them.
After a fierce battle all night, the savages withdrew at dawn.
The Shengle defenders on the city wall could even hear the cries coming from the retreating savage troops, which was a sign of deep despair and sadness.
Home is right in front of them, but they can't go back.
In the west, the terrible Marquis of Yan is leading his army. They have already been defeated once by that Marquis, and they no longer have the courage to face him and the army he leads. .
The cries of the savages were the most beautiful music to the ears of the Shengle garrison, because the Shengle army had a large number of people in Jin. Furthermore, many slaves in the city were also from Jin.
So, I don’t know who started it, but the folk songs of Jin Dynasty began to be sung, with a tone that is most familiar to Jin people in the three Jin Dynasties.
Zheng Fan was exhausted and lying on the ground. Last night, he killed many savages with his own hands. When the situation was most critical, even A Ming could not protect him. There was also a savage. The general tried to force his way onto the wall with his tyrannical power. Finally, when he faced Zheng Fan after killing several Shengle defenders, he was attacked by a magic pill and smashed the back of his head.
In the dark night and on the messy battlefield, it is not very convenient to use magic pills for sneak attacks.
Even so, General Zheng also suffered a cut on his right arm and an arrow on his back. However, because his armor was of good quality, the problem was not that big and the injury was clearly visible from a distance. The level of bones is also far behind.
But this is enough to show how critical the situation last night was.
However,
Fortunately, all this is over.
After experiencing the madness last night,
it is difficult for the savages to return What kind of offensive was launched?
The front line suffered a disastrous defeat and the back road was blocked. All that awaited them was the fate of destruction.
"My lord, drink some water."
Xue San diligently brought the water.
Zheng Fan nodded, sat up, took the water bag, drank two sips and rinsed his mouth, then drank several sips, and then he felt like he had come back to his senses. .
"Huh..."
Take a long breath of relief.
Liang Cheng was still busy counting the casualties. At the same time, after the savages retreated, the Jin slaves were hung down in baskets and asked to collect arrows and other ordnance under the city.
After all, he is a cold zombie with no emotion.
He is so meticulous at all times.
Zheng Fan put his hands on the battlements,
wanted to shout loudly, but when the sound passed through his throat, it suddenly became hollow again. This was because he shouted too much last night. .
In that kind of chaotic scene, you have to encourage yourself. The city wall is so wide, which is equivalent to repeating the situation of meeting on a narrow road and the brave will win.
This was a war that lasted for more than a year. Due to the failure of the Jin people, the barbarians entered the pass and the Jin land was corrupted. However, in the end, it was relying on this army of mostly Jin people to defend the barbarians. The escape route was a coffin lid for the savages who entered the pass this time.
Zheng Fan suddenly felt a little tired.
He wanted to go home.
I missed the hot springs in General Shengle's mansion.
I miss Siniang’s smooth skin,
I miss Shengle’s sunshine,
I miss those stable days.
