The next day, the snow was still falling, Yuan Shang waved his troops in the snow again, Bao Geng's face was not very good-looking, standing on the city wall, trying to maintain a normal appearance, commanding the soldiers to defend, the battle was very hard, no one noticed that Bao Geng's hand holding the knife began to tremble a little.

Until Yuan Shang's army retreated, and when the guard came to Bao Geng, Bao Geng smiled reluctantly, and let people continue to clean up the battlefield, and when he turned around, he stumbled, and the guard hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"General, you ......" The guard held Bao Geng's hand, only to feel a little hot, and then looked at Bao Geng's expression, he was shocked, and he wanted to say something.

"Help me back!" Bao Geng said lightly.

"Whoa!"

The guard general stroked Bao Geng back with a solemn face, and returned to Bao Geng's barracks without saying a word. ”

"What's the use?" Bao Geng raised his eyelids: "There are still medicinal herbs in the city?" ”

The medicine in the city has long been used up.

The Keeper shook his head.

"Myrrh, how to cure the disease?" Bao Geng took a deep breath and said: "Let the soldiers know, but it will shake the hearts of the army, only you and I know about this matter, and it is not allowed to spread it, just boil me some hot water." ”

"Whoa!"

The guard nodded in agreement and helped Bao Geng to boil water.

"You have been on the border for a long time, do you know when such a heavy snow will end?" What Bao Geng is more worried about now is that when the snow stops, if it continues like this, it will be them who can't hold it first.

"The longest snowfall in the past has lasted for more than half a month." The guard brought Bao Geng a bowl of hot water, and there was a worried look on his face: "Why don't you rest for a few days first?" Otherwise, this wind chill will worsen, and I am afraid that it will be ......"

"Others can rest, but I can't, if I don't show up in the city, my morale will be damaged." Shaking his head, Bao Geng said, "Don't worry, I can still bear it." ”

The guard opened his mouth, eventually nodded, and said nothing.

The war will not stop because Bao Geng is infected with the wind cold, on the other side, Yuan Shang's camp, the fire in the charcoal basin is very strong, the heavy snow has an impact on the defenders, and it naturally has an impact on the siege troops, and there are also soldiers infected with wind cold in the barracks.

Yuan Shang looked at Feng Ji and frowned: "If you go down like this, how can you attack the city?" ”

Feng Ji said with a smile: "Lord, although this heavy snow is not good for our army, it is an opportunity for our army to break through the city!" ”

"How so?" Yuan Shang was puzzled.

"Heavy snow covers the mountain, the enemy's food and grass supply is insufficient, and now the city is probably mostly infected with the wind and cold, the grain and grass are fine, I remember that this Lulongzhai in order to prevent such a situation from happening, every year will hoard a lot of grain and grass, enough to survive the winter, but this medicinal material is the key, according to the next look, within three days, Lulongzhai will be broken!" Feng Ji smiled.

This is still because of the reinforcements, otherwise Lulongzhai may have been broken now.

Yuan Shang nodded, the biggest advantage of their expedition this time was that they had brought all their belongings, and the materials and supplies would not be cut off because of the heavy snow blocking the mountain.

War...... Go on.

The soldiers of the Yuan army braved the wind and snow to attack the city, naturally it was extremely difficult, but it became more and more difficult to defend the city, the ice on the city wall became thicker and thicker, to the fourth day of the war, there were nearly two feet, the water altar thrown by the enemy, the water poured down in the pot here, and the blood water that had melted, now standing on the city wall, lifting your feet to step on the female wall, a careless, directly fell down, and for the besieging party, the water battle in the past two days made the slope full of ice, and the soil must be dug out and spread on it every day in order to move forward.

By the fifth day, the heavy snow finally stopped, but ......

"Is that all there is left?" Bao Geng looked at the three hundred soldiers assembled, but there was no one to replace them, and frowned.

"General, there are now more than six hundred people in the wounded barracks." The guard smiled bitterly.

"Split into three teams!" Bao Geng sighed and said.

"100 people defend the city......"

"The soldiers must also rest." Bao Geng shook his head: "Although it is difficult, at least it can last a little longer, now that the heavy snow has stopped, our army reinforcements are coming soon, you can hold on for one more day, and we will have a greater chance." ”

The snow fell more than a foot at a foot, and even if the snow stopped, it would seriously affect the march, and even if the army over there came to support immediately, it would take at least three or five days.

Hundreds of people defended the city, which naturally made the side see the flaws, and Feng Ji was overjoyed and said: "Lord, the enemy army has not many defenders, so you should attack the city with all your might!" ”

"Good!" Yuan Shang nodded in agreement, the catapult did not throw the water altar again, but replaced it with stone bullets, the war became fierce, just an hour, the defenders at the head of the city have died nearly half, many people have begun to flee, as a last resort, Bao Geng can only replace the troops in the city to continue to defend, hundreds of people to defend the city, it is still too difficult.

The tragic fight lasted until the evening, Bao Geng was hit by an arrow, and was slashed twice, but he stood on top of the city, the extreme sky darkened, when the Yuan army began to collect the troops, three hundred guards, and finally there were only more than 100 people left, during which several times there were already people who wanted to surrender and waved their hands to escape, but they were beheaded by Bao Geng several times before they stabilized.

The night was blurry, and Bao Geng dragged his tired body back to the city, but was blocked by the soldiers.

"Are you going to rebel!?" Seeing this, the guard was furious and looked at the soldiers.

The soldiers did not speak, a little cringe, but more, they silently raised their swords and guns, and someone shouted: "The city can't stand it!" Why hold on!? I don't want to die! ”

"Presumptuous!" Dozens of other soldiers and horses rushed to Bao Geng's side, looking at these chaotic soldiers with cold eyes, and swords and guns came out.

Bao Geng's face turned a little pale, and he looked at these rebels and said: "In the half of my life, I met the lord in the West Garden at the age of eighteen, followed the lord to fight in the south and the north, and experienced no less than a hundred battles!" Mutiny, but this is the first time I have encountered it. ”

The crowd did not speak, but watched him quietly.

"Perhaps, Bao is incompetent and can't lead you to victory." Bao Geng took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became louder: "But a certain is a soldier, a soldier has the dignity of a soldier, military law is like a mountain, as long as a certain is still here, this Lulongzhai cannot be broken, if you want to escape, or surrender, you can, please step on a certain corpse!" ”

Half a life of horses, Bao Geng has his own iron and blood, at this moment, this step forward, although there is only one person, but the momentum of the forest makes a group of chaotic soldiers moved.

The guard general suddenly roared angrily in his throat: "You can know that the general has been infected with wind chill since four days ago, and these days, he has been defending the city with wind chill and you, have you ever seen the general retreat half a step!?" If you ask to live, with the respect of the general, even if you escape that day, the lord will not blame, but the general stays to fight side by side with you, and you think the general stays to protect what!? The general's family is far away in Luoyang, even if Lu Longzhai is broken, Hu Gou will go south, and the general's family will be fine, but what about you!? As soon as Lulongzhai was broken, the most idle and unlucky people were the people of Liaoxi, the people of Yuyang, the general fought to the death and did not retreat, and he had to wait for his parents, wives and children, and these gutless bandits, who did not dare to resist the enemy, but dared to mutiny here!? ”

After the guard finished speaking, he turned his head to Bao Geng and saluted: "General, the last general has violated the general's military order, please punish the general!" ”

"That's it!" Bao Geng waved his hand and looked at everyone: "People are afraid of death, this general is also afraid, I have an old mother in my family, a wife and children, two sons, the eldest is only eight years old this year, if, change the battlefield, fight until now, I will not surrender, I will take everyone to break through, after all, even if they are defeated, just if Yuan Jun is gone, they will not slaughter the people, there is no need to lose their lives here, but Lu Longzhai is different, it is really different, behind Yuan Shang, there are tens of thousands of Karasuma people, as soon as Lu Longzhai is broken, Karasuma people will definitely go south, most of you are people from the north, You should know better than I do. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they lowered their heads silently, Bao Geng tightened the clothes on his body, touched the wound, and grinned: "So-and-so, it is the general who protects Karasuma, what I want to do is to guard the border pass, and not let the Hu people harm my people, I can die, but the city cannot be broken!" Therefore, for the hundreds of thousands of people in this Youzhou, please follow me...... Die here! ”

"The last general, take the order!" The guard knelt down in front of Bao Geng and said loudly.

"I'm willing to die with the general!"

Looking at the defenders who were kneeling down, Bao Geng couldn't laugh, waved his hand and said, "Let's go and rest." ”

Here!

One night, without words.

Early the next morning, Yuan Jun set up a battle outside the city, looking at the seemingly low city wall of Lulongzhai from a distance, Feng Ji turned his head to look at Yuan Shang and smiled: "Today, the city can be broken!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded, but did not speak, the tenacity of this Lu Longzhai was far beyond their imagination, according to what they thought before, they should have been able to break the city yesterday.

"Siege!"

As the trumpets and drums sounded, reinforcements began to advance slowly towards the city walls, and the sound of fighting resounded through the valley again.

Originally, Yuan Shang and Feng Ji thought that they could easily break the city, but the tenacity of the defenders was far beyond their imagination, yesterday, there will be a lot of rout and escape in the city, but today, the defenders are fighting for their lives, even if they die in battle, they have to run down the city with the enemy.

After half a day of strong attack, the defenders on Lulongzhai became fewer and fewer, and under the onslaught of Yuan's army, it seemed that they could be broken at any time, but there was always such a resilience, that is, it was not broken, even if there were not many people left.

"Kill~" was stabbed several times in the body, and the soldiers who fought to the death frantically rushed to the city wall with two people, Yuan Jun was frightened by the crazy momentum of the defenders, and even began to retreat, the fight on the city wall was like purgatory, and the defenders seemed to be no longer human beings at this moment, but devils who crawled out of hell, dragging the enemy army to hell.

There are many factors that affect the outcome of the war, such as troops, armor, and the level of generals, but morale is also a very important part.

The war lasted for a day, and the defenders were not defeated, but the besieging army was killed and retreated several times.

The sound of gold finally sounded, and Yuan Jun retreated much faster than in the past.

Looking at Yuan Jun who was receding like a tide, Bao Geng looked at the remaining more than 30 soldiers around him, and sat down on the ground a little weakly, he was too tired......
