April 18, fine.

In the early morning, on the official road from Xinyi Daofan City, a dense smoke and dust rose up.

The flags on the official road are endless, and the Yan army under the banner is marching, boundless.

After the general Wang Shi arrived at Xinyi City, he joined the Yan army that had gathered in the nearby cities. The Yan army only rested for four hours in Xinyi, one regular army, two reserve troops, a total of 100,000 troops, and hurried towards Fan City.

The march of 100,000 troops is not trivial, and it is connected from end to end, and there is no end in sight.

A scout came galloping on horseback, came to Wang Shima, and reported with his fists in his fist:

"General Qiyu, Tan Ma Lai reported, Fan Cheng is still in the hands of our army at this time, and our army in Fan Cheng is fighting fiercely with the enemy. Our army is less than fifty miles away from Van City, and it is about to come into contact with the enemy. ”

Wang Shi pondered for a moment on his horse, then turned to the herald behind him and ordered:

"Pass my general order, let the army slow down, go another twenty miles, and after a little rest, launch a general attack on the enemy."

"No." The herald bowed down on his horse, and then rode his horse to give the order.

Hu Guiliang, the commander of the Third Army, rode a horse to Wang Shi's side and said to Wang Shi:

"General, my defenders of Fan City have been holding out for so long, shouldn't our army speed up the march?"

Wang Shi shook his head and said to Hu Guiliang:

"General Hu, as long as our army meets the enemy, it will be a decisive battle. For our army, it is necessary to maintain considerable physical strength. You must know that our opponent this time is the world-famous veteran Lian Po! ”

Hu Guiliang hugged his fists on the horse and said to Wang Shi:

"The Admiral understands."

Under the city of Fancheng, countless soldiers of the Zhao army carried ladders and pushed carts towards the city wall in front.

Another round of offensive has begun.

Countless arrows rained down on the Zhao army from the wall to the city. The sound of gunfire in the city was also resounding, and the roar of fire and thunder was also accompanied by the roar of fire.

Once the ladder or the building car approached the head of Fancheng City, countless Zhao soldiers climbed up through the ladder, and many Zhao soldiers jumped from the top of the building car to the head of Fancheng City.

One by one, the soldiers of the Zhao army rushed to the top of the city, and in a moment, they fell from the top of the city, and the corpses under the city were all over the ground, and the flesh was like mud. The blood of the soldiers on both sides had gathered into a stream and seeped into the earth.

In just a few days, Erwazi has become a veteran.

The spear in his hand put a Zhao soldier who had just rushed to the head of the city, jumped down the city, pulled out the saber on his waist, and slashed at a Zhao soldier next to his company commander, and with a scream, this Zhao army fell.

The company commander surnamed Li was out of breath and shouted loudly to Erwazi:

"Well done, Erwazi. Quick, go to the side for reinforcements. ”

At noon, another wave of attacks by the Zhao army finally stopped.

Wang Youde, the commander of the navy, whose armor had been torn, stood on the city wall, holding a telescope and looking out.

I saw that the retreating enemy army was sorting out the soldiers not far away, and there were also many craftsmen of the Zhao State who accompanied the army, who were assembling siege vehicles on the ground, and repairing siege equipment such as ladders and building vehicles.

In the land of the Chinese army of the Zhao army, many soldiers of the Zhao army stood still, calm and calm, and the dense banners were flying and flying, which shows that the veteran Lian Po governed the army strictly.

The just-concluded offensive and defensive battle made the head of Fancheng City very busy at this time.

Numerous of the seriously wounded were carried down the city for treatment; For the lightly wounded, take some potions, bandage them, and then fight.

Several pillars of fire were also lit in the city, which was the Yan army burning the remains of soldiers who died in battle.

Now that the weather has entered April, it is not winter, and the body must be cremated as soon as possible. If left unchecked, the corpses of the dead are piled up and decomposed, which will not only damage morale, but also bring plague.

Wang Youde looked at the already dilapidated wall of Fancheng, and said to Gu Mulin, the deputy general beside him:

"Old man, if nothing else, after Zhao Jun has finished resting, he will attack again. It seems that the lives of you, me, and my brothers will be given here today. Who would have thought that a simple task of transporting grain would be like this? ”

Gu Mulin wiped the blood stains on his body, and said to Wang Youde with a smile:

"Youde, it's worth it. I think back then, I was in Xiangping City, my parents died early, I was just an orphan, and I thought I wouldn't survive the winter. Unexpectedly, the king came up and began to save many people like me. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Mulin's eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Now I am married and have children, and I have children in my family, and I will no longer suffer from hunger and cold. After I entered Xiangping Academy, I swore early on that I had nothing to repay the king in this life, but to repay it with my life. ”

"Today, it's time for me Gu Mulin to fulfill his oath, as long as he survives, Zhao Jun won't want to take Fan Cheng, unless they step on my corpse."

Wang Youde laughed and said to Gu Mulin: "Mulin, I'm the same as you, and I think the same way. ”

The hands of the two colonels were tightly clasped together.

The company commander surnamed Li looked at the dilapidated head of Fancheng City, and also explained to Erwazi: "Erwa, we don't have more than one platoon left now, I have failed your father's entrustment this time, it seems that I can't take you back if I don't get it right." ”

"Uncle Li, when I came, my father explained that I, Yanren, would rather die standing than live on my knees. Anyway, the men in the family, as well as my brother and my brother! It doesn't matter if I have it or not. ”

Er Wazi wiped the spear in his hand and said to the company commander surnamed Li.

After listening to Erwazi's words, the company commander surnamed Li patted Erwazi's head dotingly.

"You're still young, you haven't even tasted the taste of a woman, don't say this until you have to, if you can live, you must live, you have to find a way to go back alive, do you hear?"

"Uncle Li, I know." Erwazi replied.

The company commander surnamed Li looked at the bamboo flute still pinned to Erwazi's waist, and then looked at Zhao Jun outside the city, and said with a smile:

"Erwazi, let's blow "Embroidered Purse" to Uncle again! Uncle wants to hear it. ”

Erwazi nodded, put the flute to his mouth, and the sound of the flute rose melodiously.

From the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, the fifteenth month is high.

The spring breeze is swinging, and the willows are poplar.

In March, the peach blossoms bloom, and the lover brings books.

Carry a book, a letter, and ask for a purse.

One embroidered boat, with sails on board.

The meaning of it, Lang, you have to guess for yourself.

Two embroidered mandarin duck birds, perched by the river.

You will rely on me, and you will never be separated.

……

From the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, the fifteenth month is high.

The spring breeze is swinging, and the willows are poplar.

Lang is a young man, and his sister is like a flower.

Receiving this purse, Lang you have to come back early.

……

At the head of the city, the company commander surnamed Li first hummed with the sound of the flute, and then the surrounding Yan troops began to hum.

After a while, the Yan army in Fancheng City, including Brigadier General Ma Liang and other Yan army generals, also began to chant softly.

A gust of spring breeze blew slightly, spreading this melodious singing to any corner of Fan City.

Listen to the soldiers singing softly, and look up at the sun that has been in the sky. The sun is shining, sprinkled on the bloodstained soldiers in the city, it is the cruel war in this world, which also makes Ma Liang so nostalgic.

Ma Liang had a wonderful premonition at this time, and he already knew in his heart that if reinforcements did not arrive, today would be the day the city would be broken. I'm afraid I can't even see the sunrise tomorrow.

In the city tower to the east, the deputy general Gu Tao wrote on a piece of paper:

"My wife, I will say goodbye to you with this book...... At present, our division and the naval brigade have less than 5,000 officers and men. Yu is determined to fight with all the officers and soldiers to the end, to repay the king and the country with death, and to live up to the teachings of peacetime......"

“…… When I die, you may remarry, and you will have a pair of children, and they will take care of them. Adults, they teach their fathers to die for their country, and teach them to follow their father's will......"

After Gu Tao finished writing, he folded the letter.

Let someone call Wu Fang, the person in charge of Fancheng's intelligence, and please:

"I would be grateful if you would give this letter to my wife."

Wu Fang had already understood Gu Tao's thoughts, and solemnly bowed deeply to him and said:

"Please rest assured that the general will live up to the general's trust."

On a stretcher, a seriously wounded officer of the Yan Army, listening to this song, said with his last strength:

"Really...... Good...... Listen ......"

With that, he slowly closed his eyes.

A young female doctor hurriedly ran over.

The pulse of this Yan Army officer was called, and he said to the two Yan soldiers carrying the stretcher:

"...... It's gone, it's been sent to ...... Cremation now! ”

The two Yan soldiers carrying stretchers just shouted sadly: "Regiment commander." ”

I want to cry, but I have no tears.

The singing in Fan Cheng City reached the Zhao Army outside the city.

Many Zhao Jun also listened to this beautiful folk song, and they all fell silent.

On the temporary command platform outside the city, the veteran Lian Po looked up at Fan Cheng, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the head of Fancheng City, the broken Yan Army flag was also fluttering in the wind.

No matter how stubborn the Yan army defending Fan Cheng was, the resistance was. But at this time, in the eyes of this world-famous veteran, the Yan army in Fan City at this time was already at the end of his life and had reached the end of his life.

The veteran Lian Po admired the generals of the Yan army who defended Fancheng. In the face of several times the Zhao army, if the battle can be fought like this, it can be called a "famous general".

"The generals of the Yan army defending the city still refuse to surrender to our army?"

Lian Po turned around and asked one of the generals who had just returned from persuading him to surrender.

"General, Ma Liang, the general of the Yan army defending the city, swear not to surrender."

"Okay, I see, you go down." Lian Po said lightly.

A general of the Zhao army, Chao Lian said:

"Old general, Yan Jun still has kung fu to sing at this time. Is our army attacking at this moment? Let them not be able to sing. ”

Lian Po shook his head, his eyes were unusually complicated, and he whispered to the general:

"This is the Yan army defending the city, saying goodbye to their relatives, don't ...... Don't bother them. Wait...... After the Yan army's singing stopped, our army attacked again, you know? ”

The general of the Zhao army was stunned, clasped his fists and bowed and said, "I understand, my subordinates obey the order." ”

Lian Po was on the command platform, and looked up at Fan Cheng in front of him again.

The general of the Zhao army who made the suggestion just now only heard the old general Lian Po say two words: "Strong!" ”
