Wu Fei listened to what Yan Sui said, and was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking at Yan Sui for a moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He still couldn't understand what Yan Sui meant by what he said at this time......

Two days later, the remaining civilians and wounded in the city had been evacuated. Most of the iron tools in the city were smelted into molten iron.

The Jin army once again approached the city, and this time there were more soldiers and horses than the previous one......

And it was still not Chu Lingtian who led the troops to fight this time, but it was not the leader last time.

"What should we do now?" Wu Fei became anxious again, and said with a heavy face, "Reinforcements, I'm afraid I can't wait......"

"A hundred people, leave a hundred soldiers." Yan Sui looked at the Jin army under the city and said in a low voice, "The rest of the soldiers and horses will immediately withdraw from the rear of Jiushuo City. ”

"What are you going to do?" Wu Fei looked at Yan Sui's solemn face, and also felt the danger of the situation.

"Molten iron locks down the city." A trace of weakness flashed in Yan Sui's eyes, and it can be said that it was a last resort to come to this point.

"What! You ......" Wu Fei looked at Yan Sui in shock, and said in disbelief, "Then the hundred soldiers left behind ......."

"Surely we will die." Yan Sui said bluntly, "And they can only commit suicide by taking poison." ”

"Why is that?"

"Once a person is in a desperate situation, there is nothing that cannot be done in order to survive. Tens of thousands of Jin troops were sealed in a dead city with no food, and in the end, in order to survive, they would not recognize their relatives and would be eaten. Person. Do you want your soldiers to be food for the enemy when they die? Yan Sui's tone was cold, without a trace of emotion.

She hadn't experienced having to eat. People live in a desperate situation, but they also truly experience the feeling of having no food and no water for more than half a month. At that time, in order to survive, she could even drink horse blood and eat half-cooked horse meat......

Listening to Yan Sui's words, Wu Fei was silent. He has no choice, everyone's fate is the same, how can he know that the road ahead is death, and let people walk over.

"You don't have much time to think about it." Yan Sui reminded again, "The Jin army may attack at any time, and there may be more than 100 people killed by then." ”

"Does it have to be that way? Is there no other way? Wu Fei looked at Yan Sui again and asked.

"Now you can also choose to abandon the city and retreat to Zhuyang City with the remaining soldiers and horses to wait for reinforcements." Yan Sui said.

Wu Fei lowered his head, if he abandoned the city now and fled and retreated to Zhuyang City, it would undoubtedly give all the borders of the Zhou State to the Jin State.

Regardless of whether Zhuyang City can be defended or not, even if it is defended, according to the current strength of the Zhou State, it will be difficult to recapture the area around Jiushuo City. With the loss of nine, the Zhou State lost a solid barrier.

"Before the reinforcements arrive, the Jin army will definitely not be able to cross the Nine Cities! Otherwise, the next thing to lose is the last barrier in the northwest of the Zhou State - Zhuyang City. Wu Fei's tone was firm, and his eyes flashed with a light that looked at death as if he were at home, "This time, let me stay and live and die with the Nine Cities!" ”

When Yan Sui heard that Wu Fei was going to stay in person, he immediately frowned. If Wu Fei died, what was the use of what she had done before?

"If you stay, who will command the rest?" Yan Sui hated that iron could not become a steel road.

Wu Fei was unusually firm, and said: "If I can't lead by example, how can I say the careless words that let the soldiers sacrifice themselves to defend the country?" ”

At this moment, Yan Sui was shocked by the person in front of her. A small military general can have such a pioneering spirit.

At this moment, for some reason, Yan Sui thought of his father.

"That's it, that's it......" Yan Sui sighed deeply, and finally took a step back, "Let's let go of the gamble this time." ”

When the words fell, he immediately said to Wu Fei: "Order someone to move all the molten iron smelted in the past few days to the city wall, and then move a few buckets of water to it, and prepare a strong rope of sufficient length." Finally, the archers were also on standby on the ramparts. ”

"So ......"

As soon as Wu Fei was about to speak, whether he could avoid the inevitable end of death, Yan Sui had already spoken: "This may not be able to trap many Jin troops, but at least it can block them for a few days and reduce their strength." And the casualties of the Zhou soldiers you care about the most can also be greatly reduced. ”

"So good, so good!" Wu Fei immediately said, "I'll order someone to prepare." ”

"Tell me to go down, if the Jin army attacks the city for a while, you don't have to do too much resistance, you can let them in." Yan Sui explained, "Once the Jin army entered the city, he immediately closed the city gate, ordered people to pour molten iron on the city gate, and at the same time ordered people to pour cold water to accelerate the solidification of molten iron. ”

Then the archers on the walls immediately fired rockets to help the soldiers of the city run as far as they could. The second is to prevent the Jin army from climbing the city wall. ”

"Okay, I'll give a good explanation." Wu Fei didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately ran down the city wall to deploy.

While ordering the deputy general to lead the redundant soldiers to withdraw from the rear of the Nine Institutes, Wu Fei also personally arranged according to Yan Sui's deployment.

The Jin army did not give them much time to prepare, and almost when the molten iron was moved to the city wall, the horn of the Jin army's siege was sounded.

Seeing the menacing Jin army, Yan Sui glanced at the archers of the Zhou army behind him before they had time to take their positions, and immediately ordered the soldiers guarding the city gate: "Open the city gate." Everyone, go up to the walls at once! ”

Rushing to the bottom of the city and seeing the city gate that opened automatically again, the Jin army was no longer as surprised as last time.

The leader of the Jin army rode in front, looked at the open city gate, which was empty, and said with a disdainful face: "Pretending to be a ghost, do you think we will be fooled this time!" ”

"Soldiers, rush me!" The leader raised the sword in his hand and rushed into the nine castles first.

The Jin troops behind also rushed into the city one after another.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the Jin army rushing in, Yan Sui immediately led a dozen people to slide down from the outside of the city wall.

With the joint efforts of all the soldiers, Yan Sui and others quickly closed the city gate.

At the same time, Wu Fei, who was on the city wall, ordered the molten iron to be poured down.

Basins of red-hot iron poured down instantly, and after being washed by cold water, the molten iron quickly solidified.

After sealing the city gates, the soldiers began to slide down the city walls with pre-prepared ropes under the cover of archers, and then joined the battle against the remnants of the Jin army who had not yet had time to enter the city.

The moment the city gate was closed, the Jin army knew that they had been deceived, but when they reacted and immediately ordered a retreat, it was too late.

The Jin army commander was also a little panicked at that time, and immediately ordered to find other exits, and he was sure to get out of the city as soon as possible.
