684. Chapter 684
How could it be in the city...... If it was really from outside, then there was a war all this time, and the city gates had already been closed!
If it was the original inhabitants of the city, it would be even more impossible!
If someone had such means, they would not have had any news!
"Could it be someone sent by the emperor?"
A lieutenant general said with some excitement!
"It would be best if the court sent someone here, I'm afraid we will have a happy time! How's the count, how many more do we have? ”
The general asked in a deep voice!
"The statistical results have not yet come out, thinking that this time there are heavy casualties, it is a miracle that our 50,000 people can withstand it for so long! Now this battle is probably even more left! ”
A lieutenant general said with some sadness!
It was originally the duty of a soldier to protect his family and defend the country, but when his brothers fell one by one and died in the hands of the enemy, the kind of sad man who was powerless couldn't help but want to cry!
"General, the statistics are out!"
A man dressed as a lieutenant general walked in, with blood still on his face, but he still couldn't hide the exhaustion on his face and the red eyes!
"How!"
Everyone stared at the visitor and asked!
"Now there are only 3,000 troops in the city! Five hundred of them were seriously wounded, and only two thousand five hundred were able to take part in the battle! Grain and grass ...... I'm afraid the rations are only for today! ”
The adjutant general lowered his head and said sadly!
To block the enemy's footsteps, but the soldiers don't even have a full meal, how can people not feel sad!
"Since the siege, all grain and grass transportation has been cut off! If there is no food to eat, how can the brothers keep it! I don't even have the strength to hold the weapon in my hand! ”
A lieutenant said with red eyes!
There is no more to eat...... The enemy army is black and oppressive, and there is no hope for reinforcements...... How can they hold this side of the land...... "Do the people in the city still have food in their hands?" ”
After a long time, the general in the upper position asked!
No soldiers, no food...... The number of enemies has already surpassed them by dozens of times...... How long can this gate be held?
How long can the flag of the Morning Kingdom be hung?
"It's already been solicited once!"
An adjutant shook his head with a blue face!
"Report ......"
Outside, a soldier shouted!
"Come in!"
The general put away his sourness!
A soldier ran in and fell to his knees!
"General Qiyu, just now, the army of the State of Wu is at least 100,000 people coming towards us!"
The scout knelt on the ground and said!
The lieutenants who were standing and the lieutenants who were sitting all lost their pillars at once...... The 300,000 troops of Wu who fought first were now at least 200,000 remaining, and now another 100,000 are coming...... 300,000 people against 2,500 people, that is, one person can drown them with a mouthful of spit...... Now, what should they do!
"All four gates are blocked! But there are still many people in the city, what should these people do? ”
A lieutenant general said distractedly!
muttered to himself, but it was like a muffled thunder exploded in everyone's hearts!
What about the people...... "How many people are left in the city!" ”
The general also asked weakly!
"At least three thousand more! Many of them are women and children! ”
At the beginning of the war, many people were evacuated!
Now there are about 3,000 people left!
"Do you want the people to join in? Our soldiers need to rest! This will at least give our soldiers a sigh of relief! ”
There are four lieutenants in total, and this one is one of them!
He has fairer skin compared to others, and if it weren't for the armor that would make people think that he was not a soldier, but a scholar!
"yes, why didn't we think of that! The soldiers on the castle tower haven't closed their eyes and rested for many days, and I'm afraid they'll be able to fall asleep while standing like this! ”
Another lieutenant chimed in!
"There are some old and weak women and children left in the city, what can these people guard!"
Another lieutenant general said disappreciatively!
Let the people defend the city?
I'm afraid that not only will it not work, but it will also be cholera!
Now is the time when morale has fallen!
"Tomorrow, gather the people to defend the city! We have now reached the moment of breaking the cauldron and sinking the ship, and now the state of Wu has sent another 100,000 troops! We must fight to the last soldier! Never give up! ”
The general stood up and said categorically!
It's already this time...... The only thing they hope for is a few more days...... Everyone discussed some precautionary issues again, and then it was time to go to patrol the patrol, and those who should rest also seize the time to rest!
Because there is no encampment in the city!
All the soldiers who had retreated from the front line were arranged in the houses on both sides of the city gate!
The general went to patrol, and the decadence on his face was unspeakably uncomfortable!
Morale...... Reinforcements have not come for a long time, and after so many days, there is no morale at all!
The reason why they are still holding on one by one is only because they are still guarding the people of a city behind them!
Some of them are their parents and some of their children...... So now it's better to fight for the country than to fight for the family!
Everyone stood up and said hello when they arrived!
All the sallow and exhausted soldiers, the general asked everyone to sit on the spot!
Standing there, young but tired faces!
"General Ben knows that you are the best! Now, we have no reinforcements, no food and grass! It's hard, General Ben knows it! But we can't back down! I can't let the dog of the Wu Kingdom step into the land of my Chen Kingdom! We can't let the butcher's knife of the Wu Kingdom be pointed at the people behind us! So, we are now fighting not only for our country, but for the people behind us! Therefore, even if we die, we must also drag the enemy to the death! Do you have the confidence to stop the enemy's advance? ”
The sound was not loud, but it made the blood of all the soldiers burn!
Yes, they are now not only for the country, but also for the people behind them!
"Yes!"
The sound is not loud, but there is a kind of tragedy lingering in it!
"Even if we are the only one left, we will not back down!"
A lieutenant stood up and said with a firm clenched fist!
"Yes, no back-down!"
It's not that you don't want to return, it's that you can't return!
Their home is here, their roots are here!
!
"Well, tomorrow, tomorrow we will be able to hold this city! Isn't it, soldiers! ”
The general roared with red eyes, like a mad beast!
"That's right! We'll be able to hold it! ”
One by one, the soldiers have become beasts!
One day...... Tomorrow, tomorrow will be able to hold on!
Will be able to ...... Stop the enemy!
