Finally, the horse's hooves under An Yu stopped under the county seat of Kuidou County.

He looked up at the castle tower and saw the nervous deployment of the soldiers and horses of the county.

One step at a time, one in every five crossbowmen is ready to go.

With such momentum, if the city is sieged, I am afraid it will also be a protracted war of attrition.

"We don't necessarily have to do this last battle," on horseback, An Yu looked at the city tower, and said to the deputy general beside him, "I have a hunch that this battle of ours will probably be much more dangerous than any battle experienced in the past half a month, and I am afraid that there will be huge sacrifices." So if you can skip it, try not to do it first. ”

"Yes. ”

"You go and call the battle. ”

"Yes. ”

As soon as he gave his hand, the lieutenant general galloped out.

On the tower of the city, watching the horse gallop out, whether it was a crossbowman or an ordinary soldier, his heart was also hanging.

After all, there are less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in the city at this moment, and almost all of them are recruits who have never experienced the battlefield, and there are very few who survived half a year ago.

"The defenders in the city have listened to me!" After the adjutant general stopped his horse, he opened his throat and said loudly, "Today, our army is pressing the border, not to kill, but to avenge Lord Shang Ming, who died in vain in the county town. Therefore, as long as no one resists, then we will be kind to everyone, and we want only the life of the murderer!

"What a shameless statement!"

Immediately, a voice suddenly came from above the tower.

Immediately, the bandit and Sima Jiulong came out side by side, and Dongfang Shuo followed behind the bandit.

And the person who just spoke was the bandit.

"What is the sanctimony of the Dao?" the lieutenant raised his head and said loudly, "If my guess is correct, Your Excellency is the initiator of the betrayal of the empire, right?

"Hah, joke!"

The bandit sneered, and his voice resounded up and down the castle tower, "Since the Guihai Empire invaded the territory of my Longlin Empire half a year ago, we have endured humiliation for the sake of the people of Li, and we have been compromising until now, but the Guihai Empire has never intended to let us go, and it is still pressing us step by step. If it weren't Shang Ming who died that day, then it would be me and Sima County, and after that, the people of a city and even a county would probably not be spared!"

"The Guihai Empire has never persecuted you, how can you talk so nonsense!"

"Are we talking nonsense?" the bandit suddenly laughed, "The national enmity between the Guihai Empire and the Longlin Empire has long been hot and watery, how can the Guihai Empire let its long-standing enemies live well under their noses? Therefore, as subjects of the Longlin Empire, instead of sitting back and waiting to be killed, we should rise up and fight, and we are bound to expel the thieves of the Guihai Empire forever!"

"Rise up and fight!

"Eternal expulsion!

Before the bandits' words fell, above the head of the county town, a sound like a mountain shouted out.

These voices swept over the lieutenant general under the city, causing the spirit horses under the lieutenant general to retreat slightly.

Then it reached the ears of An Yu in the rear, and even more to the ears of the soldiers behind An Yu.

"The Guihai Empire has always been tolerant of all rivers, the Longlin Empire is incompetent, and there is no way to make the people's lives rich, so I will take over from the Guihai Empire, and the Guihai Empire will definitely bring wealth to all the people, isn't this good?!"

The lieutenant general.

And on the city tower, the bandits laughed wildly.

The adjutant frowned, looked at the bandit but did not speak.

After a while, the bandit opened his arms and said loudly: "The years have passed, how has the Longlin Empire been throughout the ages, and what about the Guihai Empire? Who has never been down, who has never prospered? Now the Longlin Empire is in decline, but as the people of the Longlin Empire, we have the blood of the Longlin Empire passed down from generation to generation, and no one can let us bow our heads, let alone let us give the inheritance left by our ancestors to others!"

"My 50,000 troops are under my command, and the most soldiers and horses in your city are only 20,000, such a huge disparity, the overall situation has been decided!"

His big mouth seemed to shake the hearts of the defenders at the head of the city.

After all, no one is not afraid of death, and they just want to be able to die with honor.

If death is worthless, then what's the point of blindly begging for death?

"Your words are simply ridiculous and generous!" "On the city tower, the bandit slapped his hand on the railing and scolded angrily, "As far as I know, you, the deputy general next to An Yu, were once a native of Kuidou County. You have accepted the protection of the Longlin Empire for generations, but now the empire is in trouble, but you have turned against you, not only that, but you are also making a lot of nonsense in front of the two armies, barking wildly, and starting like a lost dog?

"I ...... I ......"

The adjutant general's heart shook, and his face changed greatly.

"Your army is only 50,000, let alone 50,000, even if it is 500,000, what is there to be afraid of?" the bandit raised his arms and shouted, "Behind you is only a foreign territory, and no one cares if you die." And behind us, it is the homeland of the family and the country, the compatriots, and the father and mother of our own family!"

"Protect your homeland and expel the thieves!"

Dongfang Shuo stepped forward and shouted.

Above the city tower, there is a call for a hundred responses.

The sound shook the sky, and it made the people in the city also boil with blood.

The lieutenant frowned, and the spirit horse below him was also in fear, cringing and wanting to turn back.

Finally, the spirit horse ran backwards uncontrollably, and soon returned to An Yu's side with the lieutenant.

The lieutenant dismounted and hung his head.

"I'm sorry, General An, the last general is incompetent," the adjutant general knelt down at this point, "The last general is guilty!"

Seeing this scene, An Yu hurriedly stepped over and dismounted and helped him up.

"You're not guilty," Ann said, "it's just that the other party seems more difficult to deal with than I thought." ”

After the words fell, he looked at the city gate and was silent for a moment, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Get on the horse,"

While speaking, An Yu turned around and got on his horse, "Siege." ”

The adjutant general's face sank slightly, and he also got on the horse as soon as he gave up his hand.

The army began to advance.

"Kuidou County, you forced us!" Under the city, An Yu shouted, "We didn't want to persecute the innocent, but if Ruo'er and the others insist on resisting, then we have no choice but to slaughter the city." ”

These words reached the ears of the soldiers on the city wall, and it was like a stimulant.

And Dongfang Shuo hooked the corners of his mouth, and stood at the head of the city with a longitudinal sound.

He raised his arms and shouted: "Where there is a family of people behind him, the soldiers of Longlin should be based on flesh and blood, and the soldiers of the empire are still alive, and the Kuidou County City will not let an inch of land!"
