The night passed after all.

When tomorrow jumps out of the horizon, when the first rays of sunlight pierce the clouds and spill onto the earth, the people of Dawei City also wake up from their sleep.

Many of them didn't sleep all night.

Because the sound of horses' hooves outside the city could be heard all night.

The number of coalition troops has exceeded 100,000, and the brave people once sneaked up to the top of the city wall to take a look, but they were scared into two trembling and sweating coldly.

The people of Dawei City are different from the people of other cities in the Tang Dynasty, they have experienced many battlefields, and they also know that the best time to start a war is early in the morning, because this is the time of the day when the defenders are most tired, and launching an attack at this time can have the effect of blitzkrieg.

The people understand the truth, and the guards naturally understand it.

Lin Gang got up from the bed, his eyes were red, and he didn't close his eyes almost overnight. It wasn't until dawn that he stared for a moment, and when the first rooster crow came from outside, he immediately turned over and jumped up.

Scooped a few scoops of cold water from the water tank into the copper basin, put his face in it, and held back half a cup of tea before he raised his head and let out a heavy wheezing sound.

" Come. " Lin Gang wiped the water droplets off his face. Yelled outside the door.

The adjutant immediately ran in.

" How are you?" Lin Gang was a little puzzled:" What are you doing squatting outside my house instead of guarding the city?"

" Captain, what are you still thinking about at this time, you can command. " The adjutant said.

Lin Gang yawned and patted his face after letting him pat himself :" Go and get my armor. "

" Okay. " The adjutant hurriedly ran to the hanger. Remove Lin Gang's armor.

Lin Gang shook his head:" Not this set. "

The adjutant was stunned for a moment.

" Flying Tiger Armor. " Lin Gang said.

The adjutant suddenly realized, put down the armor in his hand, and ran to the wardrobe to take out the set of Flying Tiger Army armor that Lin Gang had treasured.

This set of armor Lin Gang has not worn for a long time, but it is still as smooth as new, and it can be seen that it is usually not less maintained.

Helping Lin Gang put on this set of armor, the adjutant was also quite emotional.

Lin Gang stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at himself, he suddenly had a strange feeling.

" The last time I wore this armor, the general was still alive. " Lin Gang said.

The adjutant lowered his head and clenched his fists slightly.

" Before we knew it, it had been almost three years since the general left us. " Lin Gang said:" I thought that I followed the general back then, and I felt that there was no opponent in the world who couldn't be beaten, even if it was a temple, we would fight with them. I'm sorry general, I'm sorry for you, I can't bring you back to Chang'an. "

The adjutant looked up sharply:" Captain, don't say that, it's not your fault. "

Lin Gang smiled:" Oops, it's a little sad to wake up, this is not the style of our Flying Tiger Army. By my order, all the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army will put on the armor of the Flying Tiger Army, and this battle should be our last battle. Strong enemies are around, but we have to tell him that the Flying Tigers are not afraid of any opponent!"

" Command!" The adjutant wiped away the tears that had not yet flowed, turned and ran out of the room.

Lin Gang grabbed his saber, looked at the mark belonging to the Flying Tiger Army on it, and said: " General, I'm going to guard the door for the country! "

With that, he walked out of the room with his head held high.

Lin Gang came straight to the city gate, and along the way, the houses on both sides of the street opened one by one, and the people came out of the house and watched Lin Gang walk to the city gate.

Dawei City is not very large, and you can see the whole city from the top of the city.

However, because of its geographical location, Dawei City is still relatively prosperous, with constant merchants and displaced people.

But now because of the war. The merchants have evacuated one after another, and the displaced people have fled to other cities, but the people who lived here in the era were reluctant to give up this land, and finally chose to live and die with Dawei City.

Lin Gang walked to the city gate. There was a makeshift platform here, and Lin Gang jumped on it with a light jump.

When I turned around, I saw a black and crushed human head.

The people had spontaneously come to this small square in front of the city gate.

All the inhabitants of Dawei City, including the soldiers defending the city, totaling more than 2,300 people, have all arrived.

Lin Gang sighed secretly and said:" Fellow villagers, here, Lin Gang, on behalf of the Flying Tiger Army and Datang, apologize to you. As you know, the enemy we are facing is. The number of people alone is dozens of times ours, and the Dawei City cannot be defended, even if General Zhou Ding is resurrected, the Dawei City cannot be defended. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the city is broken, and we, as soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, cannot shelter the stability of the people, it is our dereliction of duty, and I apologize to you here. "

After saying that, Lin Gang saluted with one hand and bowed deeply to the people.

There were already faint sobs from the crowd.

If you can live. Who wants to die?

" Commander Lin, we don't blame you!" Suddenly, someone responded loudly.

Then, more and more people chimed in:" Commander Lin, it's not your fault. "

Lin Gang slowly straightened his waist and said:" War is coming. After a while, I will ask the soldiers to open the gate of the south of the city, and if they want to escape, they should go to the south of the city immediately, and don't carry anything with them, just run, run as far as they can. It is best to hide in the mountains and old forests. Outside the city, there were mostly cavalry, and the mountains and forests were not suitable for their pursuit. And our enemies will not bother for you, folks, please bear with me for the time being, because sooner or later this city will be recaptured by the Tang Dynasty, and our banner will be planted again at the head of Dawei City!"

" Come, take the people to the south of the city, and escort them away. "

" Yes!"

Immediately, a few soldiers came out of the ranks and led the people to the south of the city.

In fact, Lin Gang knew that there were very few people who could escape, because the outside of the city was full of coalition troops, and the people who were powerless were no match for those murderous soldiers.

But you have to give the people a little hope, don't you?

After all the people evacuated, Lin Gang called the adjutant and asked: Has the herald been arranged?"

" According to your orders, all ten heralds have been assembled and are ready to go. "

" Are the horses well-made?"

" They are all good horses. "

" Let's go. "

Lin Gang said:" Tell them that the fate of Datang is all in the information in their hands, and they must let those people in Chang'an know the true situation of Datang. We are not facing a single enemy, but the whole wilderness. It includes shrines and Buddhist sects. From this moment on, the only people that Datang can trust are the Tang people, and any other Chinese people are our enemies. "

" Xia Guan understood. " The adjutant said:" Captain, what about you?"

Lin Gang said:" The city is broken, the people are dead, I can't lose the face of the Flying Tiger Army! Go ahead and make arrangements, we don't have much time. "

The adjutant got down on one knee and said with tears in his eyes :" Take care, Captain. "

Lin Gang put his hand on the adjutant's shoulder," Datang Wushuang. "

After seeing off the adjutant, Lin Gang came to the wall.

Outside the city, there are more dense human heads.

The sound of horses' hooves and the clashing of armor was heard.

Lin Gang pulled out the saber at his waist and said to the soldiers on the city wall:" Are you afraid of death?>

The soldiers shook their heads.

Only a small soldier nodded weakly.

The others suddenly showed disdain.

Lin Gang didn't notice anything, and walked over and patted the little soldier on the shoulder:" If there is fear in your heart, go down. There is also a need for people in the city. "

This soldier is indeed very young, he is a member of the local patrol team in Dawei City, and he does not belong to the Flying Tiger Army, and the patrol team was established when Tao Chuankai was still in Dawei City, and the local residents are absorbed. This little soldier joined the patrol when Tao Chuankai was still there, because his father used to be the defender of Dawei City and died in an accident, so Tao Chuankai gave him such a place.

It's a kind of compensation in disguise, after all, the patrol team doesn't have much to do, and they are barely competent at a young age.

It's just that no one expected that a ragtag army would become one of the final forces defending Dawei City.

Lin Gang can fully understand the fear of this little soldier, in the face of war, especially in the face of enemies several times his own, even an old bird on the battlefield will be a little afraid, let alone a young man who has not yet reached the crown.

But Lin Gang's words had the opposite effect, and the young man, who was still trembling, suddenly straightened his waist and said loudly: " I don't, I'm going to stay here. Dad said, a man stands between heaven and earth, fearless. I'll admit I was a little scared just now, but I'm not scared anymore. If those people want to invade us, I'm going to fight them to the death!"

Lin Gang touched the young man's head and said: " Okay, it's worthy of being my Tang Dynasty man, bloody. Interested in joining the Flying Tigers?"

The boy was stunned, and then ecstatic:" Can I?"

Lin Gang said:" I'm the captain, do you think I'm going to lie to you?"

" Yes, of course I do. " The boy nodded excitedly.

So a small welcome ceremony began at the head of the city.

Outside the city, there were 100,000 coalition troops.

" Well, I officially declare that you are already a member of the Flying Tigers. Please keep in mind the military orders of the Flying Tiger Army, and if you violate them, you will not be spared. " Lin Gang said:" Unfortunately, the time is too short, there are still many processes that cannot be completed, and there is no chance to make up for it in this life. "

The young man touched the small badge on his chest, it was the badge of the Flying Tiger Army, and it was taken off his armor by Lin Gang.

" Captain, they moved. " Another soldier suddenly shouted.

Lin Gang turned around and looked out of the city.

Sure enough, the coalition forces began to attack.

Lin Gang said:" Brothers, the time has come to serve your country, listen to my orders, and prepare for battle!"

The soldiers let out a battle cry.

" Datang Wushuang!"

Although he is very enthusiastic, he can't keep it, and he can't keep it after all.

Dawei City's defense force is as fragile as a piece of paper under the iron hooves of the coalition forces, and it can be broken with a slight poke.

It took less than half an hour for Dawei City to be broken.

The coalition forces nearly flattened the city, which was full of corpses and blood.

There was only one corpse, standing.

This corpse is Lin Gang.

He clung to the flagpole and fell to one knee.

On the flagpole, the flag of the Flying Tiger Army was soaked in blood and collapsed on the flagpole.

On this day, the Zhou Family's Flying Tiger Army disappeared permanently.
