Gao Lang looked at Ye Heng strangely, and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by the city lord? This person is the commander of the rebels, I understand that you put him in prison, why do you still treat him politely and treat him well?"

"Because I have something very important to ask him, let him be taken down. Ye Heng replied, but he didn't explain too much. Gao Lang also knew that the war was tense now, and there was no need to break the sand pot and ask to the end, but since Ye Heng valued this person so much, he didn't worry about letting others do it, and he personally sent Han Kaiyuan to prison.

At this time, the prison was really empty, when the rebels attacked Pingcheng for the first time, Gao Lang in order to increase the number of people, all the most heinous people were killed, and those prisoners who made small mistakes or repented were all placed by him to replenish the troops and contribute to the protection of Pingcheng.

Gao Lang chose a clean cell and locked Han Kaiyuan up, and said to him coldly: "You'd better be honest, if it weren't for the face of the city lord, I would like to dismantle you!" Lao Tzu will go to the war first, if you are hungry, you will endure it, and then I will send you food after the battle." ”

After saying that, Gao Lang walked away. Han Kaiyuan didn't act abnormally, as if he was resigned to his fate, he sat down against the wall, and he looked like he had nothing to love. With a long sigh, Han Kaiyuan slowly closed his eyes, and the picture of the past couldn't help but appear in his mind.

Gao Lang soon returned to the city walls and continued to join the battle. After the loss of their commander, the offensive gradually slowed down, and after it was completely dark, the fighting that lasted for two days and one night finally stopped, and the rebels all withdrew to the camp for repairs, and the commanders of the various armies gathered to discuss the next steps.

"Marshal Han personally attacked the city wall, now his life and death are unknown, you say, what should we do next? Do we continue to fight, or withdraw our troops?" General Zheng Lei, who was in charge of attacking the north of the city, spoke first, in this battle, because Han Kaiyuan was in the north city, his army had to attack desperately, so the death was also the largest, and now there are no three out of ten, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"Pingcheng can't be attacked for a long time, our army is exhausted, and the morale has fallen to the bottom, and the tired division will fight again, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make contributions, so it's better to repair for a few days and then make plans, what do the generals think?" Yang Ziang stroked his beard and said slowly.

"Our losses are also very large, and the soldiers who continue to attack the city are not physically strong, and I am afraid that the losses will be even greater. Our 80,000-strong army has lost more than half of it so far, and if we continue like this, the results will be worrying!" said the chief general stationed in the east of the city with the same sorrow.

The generals of the various armies spoke one after another, and the vast majority were reluctant to continue the siege. It's just that there is no one in charge in the army, and no one wants to make a decision, after all, the responsibility for this matter is very heavy, and no one can afford it.

Wu Haoren, the leader of the Taiyin Sect, sat on the main seat and watched coldly, listening to everyone's discussion expressionlessly, and did not say a word from beginning to end. Zheng Lei finally looked at Wu Haoren and said, "Sect Leader Wu, in your opinion, how should this battle be fought?"

As soon as Zheng Lei's words came out, all the generals looked at Wu Haoren in unison. Wu Haoren looked around, was silent for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"If you erase several of the main characters in Pingcheng, can you take Pingcheng?" Wu Haoren asked coldly.

Yang Ziang was shocked and did not speak.

Zheng Lei was a straight man, and immediately replied: "No problem! Especially that young general with strong martial arts, as long as he is killed, the difficulty of our siege will be much reduced! He has killed many of our masters alone, to be honest, I am not afraid of your jokes, when my subordinates attacked the city, they all avoided him and climbed the city wall, and whoever went up where he was would die." ”

"Sect Leader Wu, at present, it seems that no one on our side can beat that young general, and I am afraid that your assumption will be difficult to realize. The general in the east of the city shook his head and said, and the others echoed. Ye Heng's strength has been proven again and again by the masters of the Taiyin Sect, and if this is the case, they don't have to deliberately elevate others and belittle themselves.

"Don't worry so much, I just ask you, if a few important personnel in Pingcheng are erased, can you take Pingcheng?" Wu Haoren raised his hand to stop everyone from continuing to discuss, and asked bluntly.

The generals looked at each other, and finally Zheng Lei took the lead and said: "Sect Leader Wu, let's talk about it here, if the important people in Pingcheng suddenly disappear, I promise to take Pingcheng within an hour! If it can't be done, I, Zheng Lei, will come to see you!"

"What about you, what do you say?" Wu Haoren asked, turning to the others.

"We are willing to share the same hatred with General Zheng and take Pingcheng together!" the other generals expressed their positions one after another.

"Okay, the whole army will rest and eat, and gather in front of Pingcheng in an hour, ready to attack the city again!" Wu Haoren said undoubtedly, "At that time, several important people in Pingcheng will disappear, you remember what you just said, if you can't take Pingcheng within an hour, I will take off your guys who eat and kick them as balls!" They knew that although this big man was not a member of the military, his power was still above that of the marshal, and he was the most powerful person they knew at present, and he could not afford to offend him.

offended Han Kaiyuan, and there is a military law in charge, if you offend this person, he doesn't care about you so much, and he will take your life by reaching out, that's not a joke.

In Pingcheng, many people were tired and collapsed on the ground. When the battle was over, some people fell asleep leaning against the wall. The intense fighting of these two days and one night has seriously overdrawn everyone's physical strength, and it is completely supported by perseverance to survive until now. However, in the temporary headquarters, some important figures in Heijo were still in meetings. Ninety-four Good Book Network

"Report to the city lord that there are still 3,167 people in the city who can directly participate in the battle, and 4,318 are wounded, of which 3,583 are seriously wounded, and the losses are too heavy; in addition, there are many damaged houses in the city, and the task of subsequent construction will be arduous; the most important thing is that there is not enough drinking water, and we must find a way to solve the problem of water within three days. Gao Lang concisely introduced the situation in the city.

"It's really not easy to defend Pingcheng!" Ye Heng said with emotion, "I just don't know what the rebels will do next, after everyone returns to their respective teams, they must arrange for the soldiers to rest well, and the war may break out at any time, so don't be careless." In addition, I think that the data just reported by General Gao may be false, just take the number of people who can participate in the battle as an example, I think that some soldiers concealed the report, and even though they were injured, they pretended to be okay and stood up. I understand their feelings, but if they drag the wounds that could have been healed, even if we win in the end, there is a high risk that they will be left with a lifelong disability. Therefore, I propose that we carefully screen the soldiers who can participate in the war, and we must be responsible for our soldiers. ”

"This should be the case, and this screening is not impersonal, but to protect our fighters to the greatest extent. If it is time for life and death, of course, there is no need to say anything, even if only the mouth can move the whole body, then it will bite the rebels, now, let them be treated as soon as possible, so that they can return to the team as soon as possible. Li Quan agreed.

"It was my negligence, and I immediately arranged for someone to re-screen. Gao Lang immediately accepted the opinions of the two and immediately made adjustments.

"Also, the food in the past few days should be adjusted, adding more vegetables and fruits, the taste should be lighter, less oil, less sugar, less salt and more vinegar, and reduce the demand for water. Also, to organize the people to collect arrows in the city, relying on the craftsmen and masters alone to make sure that the speed of consumption can not keep up, to ensure the maximum number of arrows, we condescendingly occupy the advantage, can enhance the power of the crossbowmen, we must give full play to our advantages. Ye Heng continued, and then thought about it, and couldn't think of anything else to pay attention to for a while, so he asked everyone, "Do you have anything else to add?"

"City Lord, the corpses of the soldiers have been placed in the old site of the City Lord's Mansion, and they have been placed for a long time for fear of causing a plague, so take advantage of the truce now, do you want to deal with it?" Lu Chengshan, the deputy head of the Wolf Warrior Regiment, asked.

"General Gao, how should I deal with it according to the convention, I really don't understand these things, you can give me an idea. Ye Heng looked at Gao Lang and said.

"Then bury them first, and record their names. If there is an opportunity to build the Pingcheng Martyrs Monument, their names must be engraved on the monument. Gao Lang said.

"Okay, just do what General Gao said!" Ye Heng said.

"Regiment commander, the enemy has been fighting us for two days and one night in a row, if they stop attacking tonight, how about we make a sneak attack?" Lin Xiuran said eagerly.

"That's a good idea, the rebels would never have thought that we would take the initiative to attack! As long as they rest, they will inevitably relax, and we should be able to achieve good results if we launch a surprise attack!" Li Quan said excitedly with wide eyes. In this battle, Li Quan's infantry suffered heavy losses, and he had been holding his breath in his heart, and after listening to Lin Xiuran's idea, he immediately moved.

"However, our soldiers are also tired, and if their movement is hindered and they are besieged by the rebels, we are afraid that they will not return. Gao Lang said worriedly.

"Yes, although it is said that the siege of the city is laborious and the city is easy to defend, but our soldiers also do not get a good rest, if they attack rashly, in case of stubborn resistance from the rebels, it is really a lot of luck. Liu Changhai, head of the Wolf Warrior Regiment, said.

Some of the people supported and some opposed, but they couldn't make a decision for a while, and finally looked at Ye Heng.

"In this case, let the soldiers rest first, and a few of us pay close attention to the movements of the rebels. If they are negligent in their precautions, they will organize a sneak attack when it is too late. Don't tell me now, lest the soldiers don't sleep well with things in their hearts. Ye Heng finally decided.

"I'm afraid that the rebels will not be reconciled, so they will continue to attack us after resting and not giving us the opportunity to take the initiative. The snow wolf said faintly, like a scoop of cold water splashed on everyone's faces, which made everyone's hearts sink.

"Their commander Han Kaiyuan has become a prisoner of our prison, and the rebels are leaderless, can they still organize an effective attack?" Gao Lang said suspiciously.

"Don't forget, there are people from the Taiyin Sect among the rebels, if they take over the power of the rebels, will they continue to attack us?" Snow Wolf said calmly, although this matter sounded very serious, but from her mouth, it was still light.

"No matter how much, now seize the time to rest, as long as we are full of food and drink enough to nourish our spirits, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, and we will see the moves. Ye Heng stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first, even if the Taiyin Sect Leader comes, we will have the strength to beat him when we are full!"

"The city lord is right, only when you have enough to eat can you have the strength to beat people! The rebels have lost so many people, I don't believe that they can launch a fierce attack than during the day!" Gao Lang said with a laugh, showing heroic spirit.

"Yes, yes, yes, go eat first! I still want to eat a large piece of meat, today is the big day of the city lord and his wife, but this wedding wine is too little, only drink such a small sip, it's really not enjoyable! The wine is not enough, the meat is to make up, you must eat it well, I can resist it anyway, I am not afraid of thirst!" Niu Yong, the captain of the big knife team, laughed heroically.

"Everyone, I'm really sorry, the two of us didn't even prepare a decent banquet for everyone when we got married, I hope you will forgive me!" Ye Heng said with his fists clenched.
