The four of them hurriedly went to find Chen He who was lying on the bed, and along the way, Hongrui said that Chen He's handwriting was similar to Chen Hongyi's, but it was lacking in strength, but ordinary people couldn't see it, as long as Chen He wrote a letter in the name of Chen Hongyi to inform the soldiers defending the city that reinforcements would arrive soon, and it would stabilize the army's heart.

When the four of them rushed to Chen He's bed, Chen He was trembling with a silk cloth in both hands, and Li Xiaofei approached: "Is it a letter from the hussar general?" ”

Chen He nodded: "It's my uncle's handwritten letter"

Hongrui smiled: "It turns out that Chen Taishou has been prepared for a long time, and the content of the letter must have been long-awaited for a long time." Don't tell us, we'll pass it directly to the soldiers to watch," and went to get the silk cloth in Chen He's hand as he spoke.

Chen He pressed the letter under him and shouted with all his might: "I can't show them it, we can't pass it on, let's find a way to escape from the city."

The four of them pounced together, and Li Xiaofei reached out and took out the silk cloth from under Chen He and handed it to Hongrui.

Hongrui's face turned pale and trembled: "Impossible, impossible, this must be written by Chen Taishou!" Hongrui's hand shook violently, and the silk cloth fell to the ground.

Xiao Qian picked up the silk cloth and looked pale when she saw it: "How can this be?" Does the prince not want me? ”

Zhang Sheng took a look at the silk cloth, and the content on it turned out to be that Chen Hongyi and Liu Jian led the army to conquer Yingchuan and went all the way north, and the letter asked Zhang Sheng that they could keep the rules, and if they couldn't keep it, they would return to Jinling, and then return to the division to recover Xinye Suizhou after Chen Hongyi smashed the court of the Black Flag Khan.

Li Xiaofei also muttered to himself: "How can this be? Are we just pawns to be discarded at any time? ”

At this time, Chen He, who had been weak, got up and spoke: "My uncle has always behaved perversely, and he is unpredictable, and they are really ruthless enough, and they can abandon their relatives and lovers as pawns." These barbarians can't fight them, but we will surely die."

Li Xiaofei came to the spirit: "According to Lord Chen, the final victory must belong to us, so what are we worried about, do our best to defend the city."

Chen He stomped his feet: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, what are we?" They have achieved great things, and we are here to be buried! ”

Zhang Sheng snorted: "I have had the consciousness of death since I joined the Chen family's army, and the enemies outside the city can't break through our city defenses at all, and they can only spend it here!" ”

Hongrui shook her head: "The Fire Dragon Clan will not be much worse than the Chen Family's army in battle, not to mention that there are many of them, today is only the first day, and there may be some situation waiting for us later."

Xiao Qian looked at them: "I don't care, if I die, the Xiao family will not give up, I still don't believe that Liu Jian dares to leave me alone!" If I die here, I'll go to him to settle the score!" ”

Chen He put on his clothes and stood up: "It's all here, I'll accompany you to play with your life, isn't it just playing with your life?" Ben Taishou led people to charge into battle tonight and broke the enemy camp! As he spoke, he walked out, Li Xiaofei hugged Chen He: "Lord Chen, don't be impulsive, the enemy army outside the city has been in battle for a long time, and they will definitely think that we will rob the camp tonight, and we can't send them to death in vain."

Chen He tilted his head: "You haven't fought much, how can you conclude that the enemy army can know that we are going to rob the camp, in case you miss the opportunity, how can you explain?" ”

Seeing that Li Xiaofei and Chen were arguing with the two, Zhang Sheng stepped forward and grabbed the hands of the two: "Lord Chen and Li Taishou don't have to argue, whether the enemy army is prepared or not, we will try it on the city tower." But when the enemy is ugly, beat the war drums, and light a bonfire in the city tower, I will lead 500 cavalry at the gate of the city to stand by, if the enemy is moving loudly and shouting, I will lead the army to kill, if the enemy army does not respond, we will stand still and strengthen the guard."

Chen He and Li Xiaofei both followed Zhang Sheng's suggestion, and everyone waited until the beginning of the ugly time, just about to light a bonfire and beat the war drums, but countless torches were lit outside the city, and the shouting of killing shook the sky and the war drums were earth-shattering, and suddenly no one in the city could sleep peacefully, the dog barked wildly, and the rooster also crowed all night. Everyone on the tower of the city was on guard, their palms were sweaty, the sweat dried and came out, repeated several times, the enemy army just shouted and shouted, but did not attack the city.

After tossing all night, Chen He admitted defeat, Li Xiaofei was right, but Li Xiaofei said: "The most dangerous time has come, now our soldiers and civilians in the city are tired, and the enemy army will definitely attack the city at this time, this time it will be very dangerous."

The enemy army really distributed an attack at dawn, when the day dawned, the enemy army had occupied the city tower, Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng were wounded, seeing that the city was about to be broken, it rained heavily, the enemy troops under the city could not climb the slippery ladder, hundreds of enemy troops on the city tower were also killed, and the Liang army barely kept the city.

Hongrui took the military doctor to bandage Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng's wounds, and Li Xiaofei instructed his subordinates to move all the vats in the city to the city to store water, as long as they can carry it until the tenth day of the winter month, once the north wind blows, they can keep the city by relying on ice and snow.

The enemy army outside the city was not idle, they dug up all the graves outside the city, and threw the corpses of people mixed with the corpses of pigs, cattle and sheep into the city with trebuchets, and the people in the city saw that their ancestors and relatives were dug up and thrown corpses, all gritted their teeth but were helpless, and what was more deadly was that the weather was surprisingly fine at the end of October, and many of the original half-rotten corpses were fermented in the city, and the foul-smelling sewage flowed sideways, and the city did not have time to bury it. Soon, the people in the city began to fall ill, and Chen He began to waver, and found Li Xiaofei, Zhang Sheng and others to discuss the matter of going out of the city to negotiate peace.

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng categorically refused, and Chen He was also angry: "We negotiated peace and handed over Suizhou City, the people still have a glimmer of life, if we continue to consume like this, the army and civilians will die of illness here, and the city will not be saved!" Hongrui slapped the table: "Pedantic!" Do you think that you can live by giving up the people of the city? Will the army of the Black Flag Khanate come to the rescue of the people in the city? Lord Chen wants to discuss with us, you first take a thousand sick people out of the city, see how they treat, if they really go to save these people, we are willing to sacrifice the city."

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng continued to dissuade Chen He, but Chen He insisted on negotiating peace, so he took a thousand people who could still move out of the city to negotiate peace.

The Black Flag Khanate saw Chen He leading people out of the city under the white flag, so he sent someone to pick up Chen He first, and the horned helmet general was very happy to see Chen He: "My lord really knows the current affairs, I am the left marshal of the Black Flag Khanate, Hudu Mengke, the people brought by the adults can help open the city gate at the city gate and let our army enter the city", Chen He said: "I brought all the sick, and asked the marshal to send someone to help treat him", Hudu Mengke was taken aback and replied casually: "I will save them, please help me order the people in the city to open the city gate before the battle, I can save the people in the city", Chen He was very happy and asked Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng to open the city gate in front of the battle, and the people who went out of the city also shouted outside the city to open the city gate.

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng didn't pay attention, but the people in the city had already begun to flock to the city gate to open the city gate. Soon the men of the city rushed the soldiers guarding the gates of the city, and they opened the gates.

Li Xiaofei and Zhang Sheng led their troops down to stop them, but it was too late, Hudu Mengke waved his scimitar, and the army of the Black Flag Khanate rushed directly from the crowd, the horses' hooves trampled over many people, and the scimitars of the cavalry also cut down the people outside the city gate all the way. At this moment, the army of the Black Flag Khanate finally rushed into Suizhou City. Chen He grabbed Hudu Meng Ke and shouted: "Marshal, you said that you wanted to save these people, how can you kill them?" You don't believe what you say! Hudu Meng Ke flipped Chen He to the ground with a palm: "You idiot, you Central Plains people are sick men, our cattle and sheep, we only need the city and the property of the Central Plains, your people are superfluous!" After speaking, he hacked Chen He to death.
