In the camp of the coalition army, there is a military tent, which is still brightly lit in the dark night, and you can clearly see the figures swaying in it, as if they are still arguing about something. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The angry sound of slapping the table in the military tent from time to time frightened the patrolling soldiers passing by outside couldn't help but slow down their pace, for fear of provoking the people in the tent.

"General Changshan, I'm afraid you have to explain this matter well. A bearded general lowered his voice, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

"What is there to explain, isn't it inevitable that there will be casualties in the war?" Chang Shan directly ignored the dissatisfaction in the beard's heart, and said lightly.

"A good one is inevitable, in a battle during the day, the coalition army lost nearly one million, and half of them are my Yan country boys. Do you think that the inevitable sentence can explain this loss?"

Chang Shan looked at the bearded general and said coldly: "Is it just that you Yan Kingdom has suffered heavy casualties?

After speaking, Chang Shan's gaze swept over everyone present, and said loudly: "All of you here are famous and famous leading generals from various countries, and your ability is beyond doubt. But what Chang wants to say is that in the thousand-year-old peace of the Central Plains, how many generals have experienced war?"

After saying that, almost everyone present lowered their heads. Even the bearded general was silent. Because Chang Shan is right, in the thousand-year peace, except for the occasional friction on the frontier, no one has experienced even a battle that can be called a war.

Seeing that everyone was no longer speechless, Chang Shan continued: "In just one day, millions of soldiers died in battle, is the loss big? Of course it's big. Heartache? Of course it hurts. But what about heartache, the war still has to go on. ”

"But General, this time we have suffered heavy losses, but the imperial country's losses are less than half of ours, if this continues, even if we win in the end, I am afraid that such losses will not be able to bear?"

After hearing this, Chang Shan sighed softly: "Yes, we have always thought that the reason why the Imperial Kingdom was able to destroy Chen and Chu in just a few years was because Xuanyuan was a lone cultivator. Unexpectedly, even his army was so strong that he was not afraid of death. But it is precisely because of this that it is all the more necessary to take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the scourge of the imperial state. ”

All the generals nodded in agreement, and everyone had seen the horror of this army during the day. I'm afraid that even if there is no Xuanyuan Gu, as long as there is this army, not only the Central Plains, but also the entire continent, no country dares to guarantee that it can resist the invasion of the imperial state.

"General Meng, do you have anything else to say?" Chang Shan turned his gaze to the bearded man.

"I ...... I. The bearded man's face was flushed, and he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Even so, but my Yan Kingdom has lost this time...... The losses were so heavy. I ......"

"Alright. Before the bearded man finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chang Shan: "In the battle tomorrow, my Daqin soldiers will rush to the front." I just want to tell you that this battle is a matter of survival for the Seven Kingdoms, and we need to cooperate with eight real people to fight this war well. Don't let the war begin, and the man's heart will already be scattered. After speaking, he also took a deep look at the beard, and the bearded man felt that he was not a human inside and out.

Finally, the bearded man gritted his teeth, his face was full of determination, and said to Chang Shan: "Tomorrow I will rush to the front, and the men of our Yan Kingdom are not afraid of death." ”

"The general's words are serious. Chang Shan didn't mean anything else. After all, if the words are offensive, please forgive me. Chang Shan bowed slightly.

"General Chang was too worried, it was indeed my small belly chicken intestines before. As the commander of the coalition forces, the general was not convinced before, but now he is really convinced. ”

Seeing that the two of them had abandoned their previous suspicions, the generals couldn't help laughing: "Now that we work together, the imperial kingdom will be no problem, hahaha." ”

Chang Shan was also happy to see this, and arched his hand and said: "The generals can work together, Chang is not very grateful." As long as you hold on for another day or two, when the imperial city is in an emergency, Xuanyuan Gu will fight without a fight. ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed and swept away the haze in the previous tent.

It made the sergeant who had just patrolled the passing feeling confused. But at the same time, I am glad in my heart that these generals are harmonious, and I don't have to worry about being affected by this.

......

The next morning, the sun finally shone through the thick clouds and shone in the imperial city. But this dawn brought light, but it could not sweep away the gloom in the hearts of the people in the city.

On the streets, patrolling soldiers kept shuttling among them, their eyes like falcons, watching the movements around them. At this time, the streets and alleys, shops and restaurants are closed, and every household locks their doors and windows, and there is no longer the prosperous scene that once was.

In an ordinary house, a little boy shivered in the arms of a woman.

"Mother, did you say that those rebels are going to come in? The little boy was only seven or eight years old, and his immature face was full of fear at this time, and his little face was a little pale.

"No, how could it be. We have three princes, and there are troops stationed in the imperial city, and those rebels can't get in. The woman patted the boy in her arms, as if to comfort him and herself.

The little boy nodded slightly, and when he heard the woman say this, his heart was no longer so afraid.

The boy's name is Zhang Yong, and he was still studying at the academy yesterday, but he heard that a rebel army was about to attack. Then the college was not opened, the friends all went home, and Zhang Yong was also taken home by his mother.

In the evening, the sound of war drums and the shouts of soldiers could be heard clearly, even though the house was far from the city gate.

This night, Zhang Yong never slept well, thinking of all the people he saw during the day, their faces were not good. Everyone was so heavy, even the old man who used to sell candy in the neighborhood didn't come.

Everything seemed to have changed in an instant, Zhang Yong was very afraid, afraid that the chaotic army would rush in and kill people, afraid that he would die. But at this time, his heart had slowly stabilized, and he shrank into his mother's arms, feeling warmth and security.

At the east gate at this time, Ye Yunjian looked at the army outside the city, his eyes were as sharp as knives.

Today's imperial kingdom is full of smoke and war. After most of the army moved out of the north, the domestic army was empty and could no longer suppress the rebels. Now he has gathered a rebel army from nowhere to attack the imperial city.

Although he fought hard one after another last night and repelled the enemy's attacks again and again, Ye Yunjian looked at the tired soldiers around him, and his heart was even more worried than before.

"Knock knock. A hurried war drum sounded.

"General Ye, the rebels are here again. The adjutant general on the side said in a deep voice.

In the distance of Ye Yunjian's gaze, there were more than 100,000 troops marching towards the imperial city without hurrying or slow.

"This is the first time the rebels have attacked?" Ye Yunjian said as he looked at the adjutant general.

"This ......" the deputy general looked embarrassed: "From last night to now, there should be more than a dozen times." ”

"Eleven times in total, one assault, the rest are all feints, just posturing. Ye Yunjian said lightly, but his eyes revealed worry: "But this time they should be planning to attack." ”

"Everyone cheers me up. The adjutant shouted. At that moment, the already exhausted soldier stood up straight again, but it was difficult to hide his tired face.

More than 100,000 rebels marched in, but they did not attack the city directly, but stopped more than ten miles away from the city. Just when everyone didn't understand what the rebels were doing, they saw one of the rebels walking to the front on a horse.

"Ye Yunjian, long time no see. There was a terrifying scar on the resolute face of the comer, and at this time his face was full of smiles, but it looked a little hideous.

The moment Ye Yunjian saw this person, his pupils suddenly constricted, and he said in disbelief: "Zhang Meng, it turns out that you are not dead yet." ”

"That's how you want me to die?"

"No, I thought you were dead. But seeing that you are okay now, then I am relieved. Ye Yunjian said.

"Hehe, less hypocrisy. Don't forget, you and I are hostile to each other, and we are no longer officials in the same dynasty. You shouldn't be happy to see me come back. ”

"Who is this general?" asked the adjutant general in a whisper.

"This person used to be a first-class general of Da Chu, and he was above me in terms of military ability and personal strength. Before the three princes attacked Da Chu, he was defeated and his whereabouts are unknown, but he didn't expect to appear here now. Ye Yunjian also said in a low voice.

"Well, I'm not here to talk nonsense with you. You are the general I once admired, and you have always been loyal to Da Chu. I also believe that you are not a traitor seeking glory, so as long as you open the city gate now, I will definitely ask the Emperor of Chu for credit for you. Zhang Meng shouted loudly below, trying to persuade Ye Yunjian to surrender.

"Haha, you're right, I, Ye Yunjian, am not a traitor seeking glory. ”

As soon as Ye Yunjian said this, he was shocked that the deputy general beside him was in a cold sweat, and quietly stretched out his hand to the matching knife.

Before the deputy general could make a move, Ye Yunjian continued, "The Chu Emperor is mediocre, and the crown prince is unbearable. Even so, I also fought for the Chu State until the last moment. Now the state of Chu has surrendered and no longer exists. I am ordered by the three princes to guard the imperial city, and I will definitely not be bewitched by you, otherwise it will be the real traitor seeking glory. How can I, Ye Yunjian, face the people of the world?"

"Hmph, stubborn, since that's the case, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings. After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he rode his horse back, and as soon as he gave the order, the army began to attack.

An army of more than 100,000 braved the rain of arrows, erected a ladder, and began to attack the city, but again and again rushed to the city wall, but was repulsed again and again, and for a while, both sides were killed.

Ye Yunjian also pulled out his long sword and fought hard. It didn't take long for his body to be stained red with the blood of the enemy. But there are still countless rebels who continue to rush forward without fear of death.

Although the city gate is tall, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But the enemy was outnumbered, and the soldiers defending the city had not slept all night.

This war has gradually made Ye Yunjian feel powerless. Feeling the psychic stone in his arms, Ye Yunjian gritted his teeth and continued to fight hard, until the last moment, he must not give up lightly.

This is a promise to the Three Princes, and it is also a promise to yourself......
