Volume 44 (Part 1)
Although Li Rui was angry in his heart when he mentioned this matter, he didn't want Mrs. Xu to worry, so he smiled and said: "Madame don't need to panic, although there are many thieves, there is no need to be afraid, Shangfeng has already planned for a long time, and reinforcements will arrive in three days, and we will definitely wipe out these rebels at that time!"
Mrs. Xu felt a little relieved when she heard this, and said: "If it is as the general said, the situation is finally good, but on the battlefield, swords and swords are dancing, and arrows and feathers are flying, please be careful with the general and all the soldiers."

Li Rui clasped his hands into fists and nodded in thanks, and Mrs. Xu returned the salute and retreated into the inner room. After Mrs. Xu went, Li Rui sighed and said in his heart: "Those dog officials who have suffered a thousand knives, now they don't know what kind of beauty they are holding happily, they don't take the lives of the soldiers in front of them seriously at all, and they stick to waiting for help for five days, what is the difference between that and suicide? If it weren't for General Xu's usual treatment of the brothers, and the brothers followed wholeheartedly, we would have run away long in the fucking morning, who would still be here stupidly working hard? Alas... ”
As soon as the day dawned, Qian Sheng ordered to continue the siege of the city, and the two sides were in a bloody battle on this day.
The remnant sun was like blood, and a large number of dead bodies were piled up on and under Flying Moon City, attracting a large number of vultures to rise and fall and clean up the battlefield. Xu Haiguang counted the casualties in detail, and knew that the city would be broken before they could wait for reinforcements. He had already made a desperate bet on this, and had a way that was not a solution, and doing his best to hold on for five days was the last belief in his heart.
At this time, Qian Sheng's army had surrounded Feiyue City. Xu Haiguang, who returned to the house after checking everywhere, said to his wife: "My seven-foot man, loyal and brave, going into battle to kill the enemy, and serving the country are all things that are within my bounds, even if the horse leather shroud is returned in the end, it will not disgrace the reputation! But Mrs. You are different, I have made arrangements, and I ask Mrs. to avoid it for the time being, and when this war is over, our husband and wife will get together again." ”
When Mrs. Xu heard this, tears immediately came out, and she cried: "That night, General Li Rui said that the reinforcements would arrive in three days, isn't it... Is there something going wrong? I know ... He was comforting me and trying to reassure me. You can die fighting for your country, why am I different? Women are also human beings, and they are just as famous, and if you want to die, I will never live alone!"
Xu Haiguang was shocked, stepped forward and hugged her tightly, and said lovingly: "Madame, don't say that, I don't mean to look down on Madame, it's just... It's just that... ”
Mrs. Xu said: "It's just that I have a child in my belly, and it's your first child, but if the child is born without a father, then his life is incomplete, if you really... What is the point of leaving us orphans and widows behind, even if we live?"
Xu Haiguang shook his head vigorously and said: "Our Xu family has been passed down for several generations, no matter what, I can't let the roots be broken in my place, no matter what happens, Mrs. must give birth to the child and raise it well." Although Qian Sheng, the general of Wan Shunguo who led the troops to attack this time, is an enemy general, but this person's moral character is not bad, when he used to guard the border passes, his troops had a good reputation, even if Feiyue City was really broken in the end, I believe he would not let his subordinates come nonsense. I have made arrangements, Madame only needs to rely on me, and I will not talk about any rich and noble days in the future, and it should not be a problem to live well. ”
The more Mrs. Xu listened, the more she cried, Xu Haiguang hugged her tightly in her arms, and let her tears rain down, after a long time, Mrs. Xu cried: "You want me to give birth to this child for you, but I want you to live, you promise me, no matter what, you have to live well, okay?"
Xu Haiguang's eyes were already moist, he closed his eyes and raised his head to take a deep breath, but he felt his nose sore suddenly, he gently stroked his wife's long silky hair, and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Really?" asked Mrs. Xu with a pair of teary eyes.
"Really, I promise you to live well. Xu Haiguang said softly.
Mrs. Xu cried with joy and kissed her husband hard, and at the end, Xu Haiguang said: "Now the war is extremely tight, and there are people in the city who take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, rob homes and make ill-gotten gains. For the sake of Madame's safety, Madame should first follow my arrangement to avoid it, and when this period of time passes, I will come to look for Madame, okay?"
Mrs. Xu said: "As long as you live well, it is better than anything else." ”
Xu Haiguang nodded and smiled, and said, "This is natural, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, please go here, Steward Wang, they are already waiting outside." ”
Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said seriously: "You have to remember that you treated me and... Commitment from the child. I'm ready to prepare, and I'll go later. ”
Watching Mrs. pack up everything and leave the house with Steward Wang and the others, and gradually fade away in the night, Xu Haiguang's heart was like a knife, and he muttered: "Madam, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, if I really die fighting for the country this time, please Madame... Don't blame me ... ”
The next day the two sides continued the bloody battle, and then the army of Wanshun finally broke through the Flying Moon City, after the city was broken, Xu Haiguang led the army to continue to resist, these days he has urgently built some fortifications in various parts of the city, after the city was broken, he ordered the archers to infiltrate many buildings as planned, and continued to arrange troops in an orderly manner, built a defensive line in the city, and launched a fierce street battle with the enemy, which was the last move for him to hold on to and wait for reinforcements.
"Until the last man in the battle, we must also defend it for five days!" These days, Xu Haiguang shouted this sentence to his subordinates over and over again, he dedicated everything he and his soldiers had to Wuji Kingdom, but when they really defended it for five days with extraordinary perseverance, a cruel fact fell like a thunderbolt from the sky, that is: there are no reinforcements!
After being besieged, Xu Haiguang knew that the communication of military pigeons must have been cut off, but he still held a glimmer of hope and let a lot of military pigeons out, but there was no response. In general, archers who specialize in shooting military pigeons are trained in the army.
At this time, Wan Shunguo's army had broken through the two lines of defense in the city, Xu Haiguang knew that they could not support this night, and the soldiers around him were scolding Shangfeng for taking their lives as a child's play, and indiscriminately promising to do nothing was also higher and higher. Xu Haiguang's face was pale, his fists were clenched, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt a fire dragon.
"General, for those bastard dog officers, everyone is benevolent and righteous, brothers are dead, wounded, we... Let's break through, in this case, it's not that we are disloyal, but that they are unjust!" said Deputy General Li Rui urgently.
"Yes, General, the brothers can't afford to continue to work for those bastards!" said the other lieutenant.
"General, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood! Let's leave this life to kill those dog officers and avenge the brothers who died in vain!" said another.
"Revenge!
"Revenge!
The angry shouts of the soldiers beside Xu Haiguang drowned him like a tide, he calmed down, cheered up and raised his right arm suddenly, everyone saw it neatly stopped scolding, and waited for him to give the order.
