69. People are in the city

Everyone sensed that something was wrong, but they couldn't say what was wrong. Yilan's words were loud and impeccable, not to mention that she had indeed made plans like a general along the way, and her excellent strategy had already won everyone's approval. No one can stop a general from standing on the battlefield and fighting the enemy, which is the greatest respect.

"But, your body." Hua Wushan wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yilan shaking his head.

"Yilan, you said that we will continue to sneak attack while waiting?" Chafeng couldn't figure out why the usually resolute and decisive Sixth Master was so inked during this time. There is no time left, so I can only interrupt Hua Wu's emotion.

"The only way to stop them from continuing to attack is to cut off their supplies, yesterday's sneak attack was to startle the snakes, the purpose was to make them have no time to take care of the lower dam and the new dam, whether they can be used to attack the city with all their strength is hard to say. It is possible that the number of soldiers defending in the battalion will increase, but in any case, they must be lit at least 60% of their grain and grass before the time goes on today. In other words, all the granary strongholds you visited yesterday and let them come back to the rescue. When they retreat, two ambushes will come out to catch them off guard. Yilan stood up and talked eloquently, "This method has been approved by the sixth master, and all the hidden guards, at all costs today, must complete the task." Her eyes were like torches, and she announced the order firmly.

"Yes." Chasing the wind and chasing the shadow, several people immediately responded.

"Ylan, are you sure you've never been a soldier? Or has it never been in military training? "Chasing shadows is usually the most hanging, but at this time, it is even more with small eyes, looking like a probe exploring the brain.

How do you say this? Yilan can only apologize in his stomach, and can only say that judging from the resume of this body, it must have not been touched.

"Can you please leave for a while, I want to freshen up." Ylan changed her usual humble attitude and pleaded in a low voice.

Everyone is gone, but only Hua Wushan remains. Pursing his lips tightly, he really didn't know what to do, "Yilan, please stay here." Hua Wushan muttered quietly, but even he didn't have the confidence to say this.

"Sixth Master, let's go and prepare first." Yilan said lightly.

Today's grooming Ylang Ylang took a whole hour, changed into my favorite clothes, carefully groomed, and powdered. Covered with lead powder and rouge, all the tired pale, in the mirror is a beautiful girl who is clear and unearthly.

When everyone was ready to climb the tower, Hana Gogo was giving a lecture. Under the light of the morning sun, the white armor-clad Hua Wushan is mighty, handsome, and has the luxurious atmosphere of a superior person, but also kind and approachable. Yilan believes that every girl will be thrilled when she sees it. And he promised to take her as a concubine yesterday, and a touch of sweetness flew up at the corner of Yilan's mouth.

The wind was cold on the castle tower, and many of the soldiers defending the city were wounded, and the white bandages were stained with blood.

There are also some soldiers who don't even have armor, most of them are family members and civilians who volunteered to climb the city tower yesterday, and the weapons in their hands are not the unified swords and halberds of the army, but the weapons they usually use. Their faces were equally tired, and the longing for the end of the war was in their eyes.

"Yilan, do you want to say a few words?" In Yilan's trance-like thoughts, Hua Wushan had already finished speaking, and whispered to Yilan beside her.

"Oh, no." In fact, the enemy army had not yet arrived, and Yilan was already nervously pale. Although it took two days of psychological construction, Yilan found that it was still difficult for her to truly face bloodshed and death. Looking at the mottled blood stains of the wounded warrior, Ilan was already scared and wanted to flee.

There must be no escape, Yilan silently encouraged himself. Walked up to a wounded little soldier, took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "Your hand is still bleeding, I'll help you wrap it." ”

In the little warrior's panicked eyes, Yilan bandaged him carefully, lowered his head, and muttered softly, "Don't be afraid, let's work together, and this will end soon." ”

After bandaging, he hid behind Hua Wulin without raising his head, because he was already in tears.

"Ylan, wait for you to stay here with the officials." Lin Lang also walked over and pointed to the back. Sure enough, in a large platform on the city tower, dozens of officials, large and small, sat in civilian robes. Unfortunately, most of the people inside were shaking and crying, and some were already vomiting violently. It didn't look like he had come to supervise the war, but it looked like he had been kidnapped.

In fact, many people will wear swords and bows to show the style of chivalry, and their bows and swords are often much more exquisite than those used by warriors, but unfortunately exquisite weapons can not make people overcome the fear of death.

Yilan walked in and hugged his fists at the officials. But before she could speak, she heard a terrible woman's cry, and many people surrounded her, some comforting, some cursing, and some scolding Huai.

"It's the family of Master Fu Bofu, who was cut by the rebels while defending the city yesterday." Lin Lang said sadly.

Ylan nodded, which was to be expected.

When I walked over, I saw a man lying on a stretcher with a thick bandage on his head, his face pale, his eyes closed, and his breathing weak. The two women of about the same age next to him were already crying, but they were holding on to the stretcher and sobbing continuously. The officials next to him were obviously full of compassion, and many of them were tearful and rubbing their eyes. Yilan felt that most of the eyes that shot on her body were full of resentment, and many people let out angry sighs, obviously daring to be angry but not daring to speak.

Looking at their appearance, Yilan's heart, which was still sad and scared, suddenly became stronger. sneered, "General Lin, I see that there is still a team at the gate here, why don't you arrange a defensive position?" ”

"This is specially reserved for the protection of you and your lords. Fighting does not guarantee that it will be able to defend tightly, and the enemy will not climb the tower. Lin Lang said.

"I don't need protection, I'm not going to stay here, and they don't need to. Where the sixth master is, I will be there, remove the guards here and put them where they are more needed. Yilan said lightly.

Before Lin Lang could agree, some of the officials here suddenly exploded. I can only rely on this insignificant guardian to seek self-comfort, thinking that there are six princesses and women who are always there royal guards, and there is still some reliance. Now that I have heard that both of them are gone, where are I willing to do it. Immediately screamed.

"Shut up." Yilan suddenly became excited, and stretched out his hand to point outside, "Look outside, all the warriors are only half your age, the size of your sons and nephews, and they are also bleeding and even dying, why don't you see that you have compassion for them."

Yes, you are all high-ranking officials, and you get several times or even dozens of times more money every year than these soldiers outside. But don't forget that your duty is not only to fish and flesh the people, but also to defend the territory is your mission. Protection? Why do you want others to protect you? Those outside who are not wearing armor deserve your protection, but have you done it? ”

Yilan was tired and took a breath, "Don't tell me how big your officials are and how important their lives are. The royal guards who were sent to the enemy camp today were at least third-rank officials, an official position that would be difficult for you to achieve in this life, but the order they received at the moment was to spare no cost, no casualties, in other words, if the mission was not completed, none of them could come back alive. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but you are the same today, if the city is broken, you will all be killed. ”

After speaking, Yilan made a circle and turned around to get out of the city.

"Wait." After a moment of stunnedness, someone finally reacted, "You, who are you, and what qualifications do you have to make a big deal out of this." We want to see the sixth master, we want to see the emperor. ”

Only then did he realize that Hua Wushan was no longer around, and when he looked out, a majestic figure was already busy in the city, fulfilling his duties. A faint smile, "Me? Nothing, an ordinary woman. Don't think too much, I'm not a princess, my life is not worth much, and there won't be any royal guards to protect me, all the guards have already been sent on a mission. Want to see the Sixth Master? It's okay, but now the sixth master is afraid that he won't have this time. As for wanting to see the emperor, if the defense of the city is successful today, Yilan will definitely convey it on his behalf. ”

Yilan walked out, and someone wanted to say something more, but Lin Lang stopped them.

Seeing Hua Wushan looking into the distance from the city tower, Yilan walked over, "Lord, I hope Yilan didn't cause any trouble for the prince today." Yilan said apologetically.

"Trouble?" He smiled indifferently, but changed his serious expression, "Yilan, you are so beautiful today, and what you say is what this king wants to say." It's just that you're not right. ”

"What?" Yilan was stunned.

"You are not nothing, you are the beloved concubine of the lonely king, the only princess of the lonely king." Hua Wushan said very seriously, and the voice was loud enough for the people around him to hear.

Before Yilan could feel anything, there was dust in the distance, and it was the enemy army who had arrived. Yilan held Hua Wulone's hand coldly.

"Are you sure you won't go down?" Hua Wulin asked again.

"No, never go down, the people are in the city." Ylan-ylang's voice was soft, but it no longer trembled.

The spies came to report that there were about 60,000 troops under the city today, which means that they have poured out of the nest, and there is no danger in the lower dam and the new dam, Yilan breathed a sigh of relief.

After they arrived, they did not attack immediately, but had a few words of simple conversation between the coach and Lin Lang, which was nothing more than a persuasion to surrender. Their budget is very accurate, and we don't expect more than 10,000 soldiers left. They had six times our strength, shouting that we would not be able to withstand a second wave of their attack.

Lin Lang naturally reaffirms our determination to live and die together in the city.

Time passed quickly, and Yilan became more and more nervous, hoping that there would be thick smoke in the distance, and the sneak attack troops would be successful, which would alleviate the pain of the siege. Fearing that they had not attacked at that time, he calmly sent a small force back to help, and the crisis here was still there.
