The morning light was faint, the rooster crow broke the silence of the whole night, accompanied by a heavy horn sounded, the head of Panyu City began to be noisy, the sergeants in South Vietnamese armor, woke up from a night of unsteady sleep, each shook off their dizzy heads, pursed their lips, stood up from the ground, and under the order of the captain of their respective teams, they walked on the post of today's fighting.

The entire head of Panyu City was stained with blood, as if red ink was randomly splashed on the cold and hard city wall, emitting a bloody stench. Outside the corner of the outer wall of the city wall, densely covered with the remains of severed limbs, limbs and internal organs scattered on the ground in an orderly manner, mixed with blood clots that have coagulated, many corpses have remnants of arrows, knives and guns, flags or fallen to the ground without color, between them are crooked and oblique, like a grave in the underworld. A faint red ray of sunlight came from the sky, gradually dispelling the darkness on the corpses all over the ground, and the red light outlined the outlines of these dead souls, and also covered the corpses of these dead in a foreign land with a harsh thick quilt.

Compared with the bloody mess outside the city, the city walls are much cleaner, and the sergeants who come and go add a lot of life to the place, which can suppress the breath of death and decay.

The sunlight, which gradually turned from red to gold, passed through the broken flags at the head of the city, and shot on the faces of the soldiers defending the city as calm as stagnant water, adding a bit of weirdness.

The frantic attack of the Minyue army outside the city for several days has made the soldiers of Panyu City who are still alive no panic and no passion in their hearts. As long as you are not stupid and really helpless, you can see that the attack of nearly 100,000 enemy troops outside the city is no longer something that these remnants of the army can withstand, and it is a matter of time before the city is broken.

Therefore, the expressions on the faces of these soldiers were only as calm as stagnant water, and the days of waving the blades in their hands and watching their comrades fall or let the enemy fall had gradually numbed them.

In a short time, the steaming cauldron was carried up to the top of the city, and the only desirable place in the city was that the food and grass were sufficient, at least the soldiers would not starve to death before they died in battle, so breakfast at the head of the city was the only consolation for these soldiers after a night of coldness.

Walking up to the city with the cauldron and basin, there was also a group of generals in robes and iron armor, six or seven people clustered together, and the stars and moons set off the middle-aged and elderly men at the head.

"Soldiers, eat this meal with this king! Life or death, this king is with you today in the city against the enemy! The city is in the people, and the city is dead! The man who has passed fifty straightens his body, and his eyes sweep over every soldier in the ruined city, the man faces the rising sun, and the dazzling sunlight spreads out, wrapping the blood of the city and countless soldiers together, so that the eyes of this resolute man have a moment of trance, "The people behind you are your parents and children, and there are ancestral tombs on the land behind you, this king is the same as you, there is no way to retreat, only by letting go, there is a glimmer of life!" ”

"My king, please rest assured, we will never take half a step back!"

"The city is in the people, and the city is dead!"

"I'd rather die than retreat!"

The man was naturally Bao Guan, the king of Nanyue, the first person in the kingdom who was not virtuous but was loved for his conduct. His speech was quickly echoed loudly by the soldiers, and his face showed a look of satisfaction and relief, with a little excitement. But Bao Guan knew very well in his heart that how many of these responses were from the heart, how much was to take care of his face as an old king, and how much was just for the sake of a sumptuous breakfast in the morning.

The head of the city is still very wet and cold, and I don't know if it is because the temperature of the masonry itself is lower after a night, or because the yin qi of tens of thousands of soldiers who died in battle inside and outside is too strong, but Bao Guan doesn't care about this, he takes a few of his sons and sons-in-law in the same uniform, and begins to inspect the city.

Regardless of whether Bao Guan really intends to live and die with this city in his heart, it is necessary to convince the tens of thousands of soldiers below that he has this determination, although the bloody battles in the past few days and the situation that has deteriorated to the extreme, have made the surviving soldiers have long lost much fighting spirit, and only the numb mechanical battle remains.

Because if you don't fight, you will die earlier.

"Father, there are less than 10,000 soldiers defending the city, but Yu Shan on the opposite side still has tens of thousands of troops. Yesterday's battle must have been fully prepared by Yu Shan's army, and today's siege battle will be extremely cruel, and this city will not know whether to defend or not. Bao Guan's eldest son, Bao Yan, said in a deep voice, his voice was very small, so as not to be heard by the surrounding soldiers.

"Looking at Yu Shan's formation, I want to finish my battle and capture my Panyu City in one fell swoop today!" Someone chimed in.

"Shut up!" Bao Guan scolded coldly, and the fierce light in his eyes made the juniors around him lower their eyebrows and shrink their necks, stop in place, and signal the surrounding sergeants to go away, Bao Guan scolded angrily: "This king knows what attention you are fighting!" It's nothing more than trying to persuade this king to make a plan early and prepare a way to retreat so that he can escape! After all, you are still afraid of death, since you are afraid of death, then get out of here now, don't be embarrassed in front of this king! ”

"Father, the son has no intention of doing so......"

"Father's forgiveness."

"That's it!" Bao Guan waved his hand with interest, and suddenly felt that it was meaningless for him to be angry now, looking at the children he had cultivated for so many years, the future masters of these Nanyue kings, he sighed lightly, "This king is not angry that you are cowardly now, and you dare not stay in this city and fight hard." This king is angry, you still can't understand it, you can't understand it, even if you can survive for a while, even if you lose Panyu City, it will not be far from the day when you will be reduced to a prisoner! After Panyu, there is no barrier in the land of South Vietnam, who can stop Yu Shan's army again? ”

Who can stop Yu Shan's army again? This sentence is like a hammer slamming into the hearts of everyone.

"The father taught him that his son was stupid." Bao Yan looked ashamed.

"However, Panyu City really can't hold it, we have such a few people, the soldiers are exhausted, and Yu Shan has an army of 100,000 people...... "Someone still couldn't help muttering. In the face of death, no one would mind living a few more days, even if it did.

Bao Yan didn't answer his words, as if he hadn't heard it at all, his hand touched the cold city wall, the blood stains left on it made him feel a little sticky, he looked out of the city, this city gate could not see Yu Shan's military camp, and said softly: "This city, if you can defend it for a day, it will be a day." This king believes that His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will not ignore the situation on our side. After a long silence, as if he was cheering himself on, he muttered: "His Majesty the current Emperor of the Han Dynasty is a man of great talent, and there are countless strong generals and good ministers under his command......

Before Bao Guan finished speaking, someone next to him suddenly pointed outside the city and said loudly: "Father, look, there are people!" ”

"Huh?" Bao Guan looked in the direction of the man's finger, and sure enough, he saw two people coming over from outside the city gate. He frowned, and a sudden sense of joy rose in his heart for no apparent reason, which made his eyes much more eager.

These two people were able to reach the city through the passage guarded by Yu Shan's army?

One of the two was dressed in a white robe, the other was dressed in a green shirt, and the robe outside also had a coat and hat to block the wind, because they came with their backs to the sun, Bao Guan and the others could only see two black figures.

When the two approached, Bao Yan personally shouted and asked, "Who is coming?" ”

The two stopped at a hundred steps outside the city gate, the man in green shirt put down the hat on his head, looked up at the ruined city wall, showed a relaxed smile, listened to Bao Yan's question, he turned his head to the white-robed man beside him and said with a smile: "In the past, there was a man in ink who left to save Liangcheng, and now there is a legalist Dou Fei to help Panyu." ”

After a pause, he responded loudly to the city head: "Great Han, Dou Fei!" ”

......

Dou Fei entered Panyu City, experienced several twists and turns and episodes, met Bao Guan, and told him that he could help him defend Panyu City.

It is not difficult to understand that Bao Guan can meet Dou Fei, just his vague sentence "Big Han Dou Fei" is enough to make Bao Guan associate Fei Fei. Now Bao Guan is like a half-dead person who has fallen into a swamp and is about to sink completely, and any straw that can be touched will be tightly grasped by him to see if it is a life-saving straw.

Dou Fei said that he was not an official sent by Liu Che, but just a flat-headed commoner, not to mention that Bao Yan didn't believe it, and Dou Fei himself didn't believe it. A flat-headed people, will you know that Panyu City is in need of help now? Even if you know, you dare to come before others can escape for their lives? When you come, you dare to say that you can help people defend the city?

The more Dou Fei said this, the more Bao Guan didn't believe it, and he was very happy to understand Dou Fei's words as Liu Che's ulterior motives, or other hardships.

All in all, in short, as soon as Dou Fei arrived in Panyu City, he was treated at the level of a military advisor, and the change in status can be described as a step to the sky, that is, Gongsun Ce, who was in the same company, also got a set of extremely majestic armor and wore it on his body. Putting on the armor, Gongsun Ce quietly sighed to Dou Fei: "I didn't expect that my General Gongsun wore a general's robe for the first time, but he was a general of the South Vietnamese. ”

Dou Fei shook his head and said seriously: "The four seas are all Han lands, and the same is true of South Vietnam, so you are still the general of the Han Dynasty." At most, he is a general who does not enter the stream! ”

Bao Guan received Dou Fei in the attic of the city, and the two talked for less than half an hour, when Bao Guan admired Dou Fei a lot, a soldier defending the city came to report: "Report, the Minyue army is gathering!" ”

"Yu Shan has already started to transfer troops!" Bao Guan's sitting body subconsciously straightened up, and when he realized that he was out of shape, he bowed to Dou Fei, and said in a sincere tone: "The thieves are about to attack the city, do you have a good plan to help me defend the city?" ”

Dou Fei smiled indifferently, full of confidence, he returned the salute to Bao Guan, and said very seriously: "Open the door and surrender!" ”
