Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu looked out of the city and didn't speak, they were originally fighting a battle with no certainty and no hope. He muttered, "I don't know what happened to Xinye and Huyang. ”

If Li Yi can firmly hold down the Huyang County soldiers in Huyang, and Liu Ji successfully captures Xinye, then Xinye can also divide troops to assist them.

Deng Yu whispered: "According to the information we have received so far, the battle situation in the two places is not very optimistic. ”

Liu Xiu didn't speak again, which was the last thing he wanted to see now.

"It's eaten, eaten!" Gai Yan and Zhu You walked up to the city wall with a few soldiers of the Chung Ling army, and the people carried large wooden barrels, some containing rice, some vegetables, and broth.

Chaoyang granary has hoarded a lot of grain, and now there are less than a hundred of them, and they are very rich in food. Jiu'er helped Liu Xiu fill a bowl of soup, brought it over, handed it to Liu Xiu, and said, "Lord, drink a bowl of soup!" ”

Liu Xiuben couldn't eat, but he also knew that if he didn't replenish his strength, he wouldn't be able to hold on at all. He thanked Jiu'er, took the soup bowl, and took a sip. He blinked and smiled, "Dog broth? ”

Jiu'er nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "It's made by my people, it tastes good, right?" ”

During the Qin and Han dynasties, dog meat was particularly popular, but ordinary people must not be able to afford to eat it, and it is good to exchange one stone of grain for a dog.

Liu Xiu smiled at Jiu'er and said, "It's delicious!" He stubbornly drank a bowl of broth in two or three bites, then handed the empty bowl back to Jiu'er and stopped eating.

Just as the defenders of the city were eating, one of the soldiers shouted: "There is a soldier and horse from outside the city!" ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he immediately stood up, walked to the arrow stack, and raised his eyes to look out.

Sure enough, a team of people came in the distance, and because the distance was too far, it was not easy to see clearly, and the only thing that could be judged was that there were quite a few people and the size of the team was very large.

The other people at the head of the city also stood up one after another, and the people were still holding their rice bowls, looking at the people and horses who were constantly approaching Chaoyang City with nervous expressions.

As time passed, the distance between the men and horses became closer and closer, and people finally saw clearly, and someone exclaimed: "It's Shandu County soldiers!" It's the soldiers of Shandu County who came! ”

"And the Hecheng Fortress Army! Look at the flag, there is and become a fortress army! ”

People shouted loudly. Liu Xiu was solemn and didn't say a word. I'm really afraid of something. Now what they want to see most is their own reinforcements, and it turns out that it is the enemy army that comes.

The soldiers of Shandu County plus the Hecheng Fortress Army, a total of 2,000 people, the arrival of this army of officers and soldiers was undoubtedly the most fatal blow to the morale of the defenders.

They have resisted the strong attack of 3,000 Chaoyang County soldiers on their own, and they have already reached the limit, and now the other party has a new force of 2,000 people, how can this battle be fought?

The faces of the people became more and more ugly one by one, and some of them could not stand up, and sat on the ground with their butts down, their heads bowed, disheartened, and without fighting spirit.

A soldier not far from Liu Xiu muttered, "It's over, it's all over, we're all done!" ”

Hearing the soldier's self-talk, Liu Xiu came back to his senses, he glanced left and right, and saw that everyone on his side had a desperate expression of imminent disaster, he took a deep breath and shouted: "What are you all afraid of? ”

His sudden voice startled everyone around him, and people raised their heads and looked at Liu Xiu blankly.

Liu Xiu said loudly: "From the day we decided to start an incident, we have already put life and death out of the way!" Overthrowing the reckless and thief court, recovering the Han Dynasty, and saving the people from fire and water, this road is already dangerous, do you know it now? ”

When people heard this, they all had red faces and red ears, and their heads hung lower. But this time it wasn't despair, it was shame. Liu Xiu continued: "We are people with great ambitions, and we vow to be reckless and continue the great cause of our ancestors, so why do we ask for the horse leather shroud to be returned? In today's battle of the rising sun, we vow to play the prestige of the Han army, so that people of insight in the world can be inspired by us and stand up

Mangal! For this reason, Xiu Dan begs to die, not to live! ”

His words were sonorous and powerful, and they also rekindled the fighting spirit of the people who were in despair.

The people who were originally sitting on the ground got up one after another, and even the wounded soldiers who were sitting on the ground supported each other to stand up, looking at Liu Xiu with blank eyes.

Human beings are afraid of death, this is the nature of the species, there is nothing to be ashamed of, and once faith is established, people's fear of death will be greatly reduced.

Now Liu Xiu is erecting faith for people, overthrowing Wang Mang and restoring the faith of the Han family.

Zang Gong looked at Liu Xiu, who was obviously polite and polite on the outside, but he was like a person with incomparably huge energy in his body, his face was radiant, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Jun Weng is willing to follow General Liu, but he wants to die, not to live, and vows to fight to the death with the reckless thief to the end!" ”

With Zang Gong's response, everyone else also said in unison: "I am willing to follow the general, but I want to die, not to live!" ”

The mood of the defenders was driven by Liu Xiu, and the mood of the soldiers of Chaoyang County outside the city was also driven by the arrival of the soldiers of Shandu County.

In this battle, the defenders fought desperately, and the Chaoyang County soldiers of the attacking side were not desperate? Their strength is obviously ten times that of the rebel army, but they just can't defeat Chaoyang City, and from top to bottom, they are more and more discouraged.

The arrival of the Shandu County soldiers and the Hecheng Fortress Army seemed to give the Chaoyang County soldiers a shot in the arm, and the county commander Yi Zhen and the county lieutenant Xie Sheng were even more excited. The two of them went to greet the Shandu County soldiers in person.

The commander of the Shandu County soldiers was the county lieutenant Li Ying and the fortress army Hou Fu Chen. Li Ying, Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng are old acquaintances, and after meeting, everyone bowed to each other and greeted each other for a while.

After the greetings, Li Ying took the lead in cutting to the chase and asked, "Yi County Commander, Xie County Lieutenant, I don't know what the current battle situation is?" ”

Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng glanced at each other, and the latter said: "After a day and night of fierce fighting yesterday, the rebel army suffered heavy casualties, and it has become the end of the strong crossbow, and our army itself ...... There are also some casualties! ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand sideways and said, "County Lieutenant Li, Marquis Fu, please in the camp!" ”

"Please!"

Li Ying and Fu Chen took their soldiers and walked into the camp of Chaoyang County soldiers.

The camp was improvised, very simple, and there was not even a defensive wall, of course, the Chaoyang County soldiers led by Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng did not think that the rebels could take the initiative to attack from the city.

In the camp of the Chaoyang County soldiers, Li Ying and Fu Chen both noticed that the Chaoyang County soldiers could be said to be full of wounded soldiers, and the rows and rows lying in the camp tent were full of wounded soldiers.

From this, we can also see how fierce the fighting was yesterday and how strong the attack power of the opposing army was.

Just looking at this battalion full of wounded soldiers, Li Ying and Fu Chen's hearts have been clouded first, and they feel that the next battle may not be easy to fight.

Entering the Chinese military tent, everyone sat down one after another. After some greetings, Xie Sheng said: "We estimate that the number of rebels in the city is less than 100 now. ”

Seeing that Li Ying and Fu Chen both raised their eyebrows, revealing disbelief, Xie Sheng added: "No more than one hundred and fifty people." ”

Li Ying picked up the tea bowl and took a slow sip of tea, then he cleared his throat and said, "Since there are only so many people left in the anti-army forces, Yi County Ling and Xie County Lieutenant only need to launch another round of strong attacks, and they can easily take Chaoyang City." ”

Xie Sheng smiled bitterly: "Now the officers and men of our army are physically and mentally exhausted, and they are no longer able to launch a new round of strong attack!" Fortunately, County Lieutenant Li and Fu Junhou came to help in time, which can solve our urgent need! ”

As he spoke, Xie Sheng also deliberately bowed his hand to Li Ying and Fu Chen. Li Ying and Fu Chen didn't believe Xie Sheng's words at all. If there were really less than a hundred defenders left, wouldn't your Chaoyang County soldiers have already beaten Chaoyang City, why wait until now? When Xie Sheng said this, he undoubtedly wanted his side to take the lead. wait

If you succeed in conquering Chaoyang City, the casualties are your own, but the credit is someone else's.

Li Ying and Fu Chen glanced at each other, and the former said happily: "Captain Xie, our army has come from a long journey, and it is also tired, so we can only take a temporary rest today, and wait until tomorrow to assist your army and storm Chaoyang." ”

His words were very skillful, and he did not put himself in the position of the main attack, but assisted the Chaoyang County soldiers in attacking the city.

Yi Zhen and Xie Sheng looked at each other, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, what Li Ying was thinking in his heart, the two of them knew very well, but at this critical moment, Li Ying was still hiding his selfishness, and his narrow-mindedness and temperament were really annoying.

Xie Sheng Zhengse said: "County Lieutenant Li, if the time is delayed for a day, the rebels will also get a chance to breathe, and now the rebels have become the end of the crossbow, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the loss will not come again!" Li Ying shrugged his shoulders and said happily: "If County Lieutenant Xie is worried that the rebels will get a chance to breathe, you can consider carrying out multiple feints today so that the rebels will not have to rest!" "I can also take a closer look at the occupancy of Chaoyang City

How strong is this anti-army?

Xie Sheng helped his forehead, if he still has the strength to fight again, why should he ask your department for help? He opened his mouth and said: "County Lieutenant Li ......" As soon as he started talking, Fu Chen answered: "I think County Lieutenant Li is reasonable, the soldiers of our army, rushed overnight, galloped to the aid of Chaoyang, tired up and down, and are no longer able to fight today, Captain Xie should lead the soldiers of Chaoyang County, continue to attack the city, and do not give the rebels a breath."

Opportunity to breathe. Xie Sheng almost laughed, laughing angrily. He turned his head to look at Yi Chen, who shook his head at him slightly, signaling him not to get angry, now they could only count on the Shandu County soldiers and the Hecheng Fortress Army. Xie Sheng sighed and said straight to the point: "The battle has been fought

At this point, I'm not afraid of the two jokes, I have more than 3,000 soldiers in Chaoyang County, and now there are only more than 600 soldiers left, and I really can't do it anymore! ”

Li Ying and Fu Chen glanced at each other, and muttered secretly in their hearts, what's the matter, more than 3,000 people beat the remaining 600 people, it can be seen that the combat power of the anti-army in the city is strong, if their own side rashly attacks, wouldn't it be a repeat of the same mistake?

Xie Sheng continued: "However, I can assure County Lieutenant Li and Fu Junhou that the anti-army in the city is indeed at the end of the crossbow, and the two commanders have their own troops and horses, and they can easily take Chaoyang City with just one round of strong attacks!" As he spoke, he looked at Yi Zhen and said with a straight face: "I can also assure the two of you that after conquering Chaoyang City, Yi County Decree and I will report to the county government, and the merits of Chaoyang are recorded on the two heads, and Yi County Decree and I don't want an inch." ”
