As soon as Kuang Zhi was ready for defense, Cen Gao's army had already arrived at the foot of Wanchuan City.

In addition to the permanent garrison of more than 15,000 people, Wanchuan City also has more than 5,000 city defenders in the city, totaling more than 20,000 people.

With more than 20,000 people, wanting to block the 80,000 Fengguo army led by Cen Gao is tantamount to an idiot's dream in the eyes of ordinary people.

Many wealthy families in Wanchuan City moved their families as soon as they received the news, taking everything they could with them, and the road from Wanchuan to Lingyang County was full of fleeing people.

Those who stay in Wanchuan City are either people who have lived on this land for generations, or the kind that is so poor that they don't know where to go when they leave Wanchuan, and it is better to live and die with Wanchuan than to die on the road of wandering.

Because Wanchuan City is located on the border, the generals are basically transferred from the Banlun Mountain Range. At this time, almost none of these bloody generals were afraid to fight, and they were all sharpening their knives, ready to fight the enemy.

However, the civil officials of Wanchuan are different, as a civilian official, they naturally don't like this kind of scene of fighting and killing, they can retreat without retreating, in the eyes of some people, they are just looking for death, even if there is a military order under Kuang, there is no shortage of civilian officials sneaking away.

When Kuang Zhi knew that some people had escaped, he was not very angry and did not hold these people accountable. In his opinion, it is normal for people to flee, and he himself is not sure of victory, let alone these literati with pen and stick.

However, there was one person whose performance was unexpected.

Wanchuan City Dian Shi Lu Lin, from the moment he left the City Lord's Mansion, he had already begun to prepare how to resist the enemy.

Lu Lin is a civil official, so naturally he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, but he has his own way.

Leaving the City Lord's Mansion, the first thing he did was not to go home to settle his family, but to go straight to the various wealthy mansions in Wanchuan City and persuade them to stay and fight.

These rich people usually have private armies, and they are also a lot of force when they are gathered.

Lu Lin is an upright and honest person, usually popular, many rich people have received his favors, and they owe him a lot of favors.

However, this time, in the face of life and death, none of his proposals were responded to by the rich, so he was closed all the way.

Although the rich did not keep it, these rich people also thanked him for his favor and loyalty, and left some of the soldiers to him, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

In the end, Lu Lin gathered more than 3,000 soldiers from the rich.

Upon learning of this, Kuang Zhi was very happy and directly promoted Lu Lin to Wanchuan Zuocheng. At this time, if you can have a little combat power, you have a better chance of winning, and what Lu Lin did is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

Whoever says that civil officials are useless, there are no useless officials, only incompetent people.

As soon as Cen Gao arrived at Wanchuan City, he did not delay at all, and immediately launched an attack on Wanchuan City.

Every siege was extremely tragic, and both the attackers and defenders were fighting with their lives.

The city wall of Wanchuan City is very high, and there is an urn city. Cen Gao is no better than Han Ming, he doesn't have a bunch of ghost designers, so naturally he doesn't have Han Ming's terrifying mountain-breaking cannon.

Although the rushing cars bombarded the gate again and again, the crumbling gate has always stood firm and has always stood tall. The Wind Army's ladder only reached the edge of the wall, and every time the soldiers climbed halfway, the defenders pushed the ladder away, causing the Wind Army on the ladder to fall to the ground.

This siege was extremely difficult.

The number of casualties on both sides has been increasing, and the wind army has had a few lucky occasions to storm the tower, which has a great impact on the morale of the defenders.

However, Kuang Zhi has been fighting side by side with the defenders on the city walls, and has repeatedly personally led his troops to recapture the fallen walls. The soldiers of the defending army saw that their commander was so brave and their morale was extremely high, and they used this morale to make the wind army retreat in embarrassment.

The battlefield was fought from the afternoon until dark, and when it got dark, Cen Gao had no choice but to temporarily withdraw his troops.

After collecting the troops, he counted the battle damage, and this siege alone cost him 3,000 men. When Cen Gao heard the news, his teeth clenched and his eyes widened with anger.

These 80,000 people can be said to be the entire foundation of the Wind Country, and now he has lost so much just in Wanchuan City, the key is that he has not been able to take down Wanchuan City, how can he not be angry, if the loss is too big in the future, what will he do to complete the task explained above.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Zuo Quinoa, Wuyou, tomorrow you two will personally lead people to attack the city, if you can't attack it, you two don't have to come back." ”

Zuo Quinoa and Wu You stood up and received the arrow, and the generals could see that Cen Gao's move was to take down Wan Chuan at any cost.

Zuo Quinoa and Wu You were both from the Southern Barbarian tribe, eight or nine feet tall, a head taller than everyone else, full of bursting muscles, and their chests and backs were covered with stripes, and their faces were angry.

Nanban is in the south of the Wind Country, and was later conquered by the Wind Country, these two people are the warriors of the Nanban Clan, the Wind Country wants to fight the Chu State, and the Nanban, as a vassal country, is naturally recruited by the Wind Country.

Cen Gao's casualties were very large, and Kuang's losses were not small, and the Wanchuan defenders, who had not many people, died more than 1,000 people when defending the city, plus the soldiers who lost their combat effectiveness, there were not many people in Wanchuan City who could continue to fight.

In the coming days, it will definitely be more difficult, Kuang Zhi's heart has been beating, and he is not sure how long his group of people can last.

Even the rest of the people were exhausted, everyone collapsed weakly on the ground, some leaning against the wall, some snuggling up to their companions, although everyone looked tired, but their hands held their weapons tightly, and they did not let go even when they were resting.

Kuang Zhi looked at the collapsed people on the city wall, with a resolute face. He, like this group of soldiers, fought all afternoon, but he did not rest, the enemy could take advantage of the night to sneak attack, and he had to arrange a vigil.

"My lord, you will rest for a while, and I will watch for you in the future. Niu Zhu persuaded on the side. He saw all Kuang Zhi's actions, a commander, in the case of life and death, was able to live and die with the soldiers, and he also rose from admiration to reverence.

Kuang Zhi waved his hand and said softly: "No, I'm not tired, you go and rest, there will be another fierce battle tomorrow, you must recuperate." ”

As the commander, he is the belief in everyone's hearts, as long as he stands here, it is equivalent to giving the soldiers a reassurance, so no matter how tired he is, he will not leave here.

Niu Zhu wanted to say something, but he saw Lu Lin trotting all the way up the city tower and walking to Kuang Zhi's side.

"My lord, the subordinate led the people to bring some food to the soldiers. Lu Lin whispered in Kuang Zhi's ear, for fear that his voice would disturb the resting soldiers next to him.

Kuang Zhi looked at Lu Lin and nodded with a smile.

Groups of people carrying eating utensils walked up to the city one after another, opened the utensils, and inside were steaming steamed buns and meat porridge.

When these soldiers saw the fragrant food, they immediately opened their eyes, and they didn't care about the image, and ate in embarrassment, each holding a steamed bun in each hand, holding it in their mouths, and their hands kept stuffing it into their mouths.

These people looked at the soldiers' eating appearances, and not only did they not feel funny, but they were a little moved. Faced with this situation, some people have begun to hide their faces and cry. In their eyes, these soldiers are protecting them with their lives, and they are the most respectable people.

"My lord, you can eat some too. Lu Lin held the steamed bun in one hand and the meat porridge in the other hand and said to Kuang Zhi.

After an afternoon of fighting, Kuang Zhi's stomach began to be unbearable, so he picked up steamed buns and ate them casually.

"Where did you get all this meat?" asked Kuang Zhi as he ate.

"My lord, this is the lower official prying out of the mouths of those rich people. Lu Lin replied with a smile.

"The lower officials are popular, and those rich people are willing to sell me face. ”

Kuang Zhi nodded and patted him on the shoulder, "Good job." ”

Lu Lin was a little embarrassed by Kuang's praise.

After Kuang Zhi finished eating, he looked at the people and said emotionally: "Brothers, in the future, the battle will only be more fierce, but as long as the official is still there, he will not let the wind thieves cross the city wall by half a step." ”

When the soldiers and civilians heard Kuang Hua's words, they were all excited.
