Outside the city of Yuzhou, the raging fire is still spreading.

It was almost dawn, and Buzz looked at the raging fire in front of him, and the anger in his heart could not dissipate, and finally he was so angry that he protruded a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that the siege was in sight, Yuzhou rubbed his hands and got it, but he thought that Mu Kun and others would actually use fire oil, regardless of the consequences of burning down the city tower, and set fire outside the city into a sea of fire.

Above the city tower, Mu Kun looked at the sea of fire in front of him, and a trace of unknown emotion flashed in his heart, this was the most disastrous battle he had fought since he led the army. Looking at the corpses all over the city, I don't know if it is the enemy army or the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, one after another corpses are superimposed together. But Mu Kun knew that among these corpses, a large part of the soldiers were from the Celestial Empire.

"Mu Kun, are you playing with fire**, do you think that with the sea of fire, I won't be able to break through Yuzhou? Then you're underestimating me too. ”

Bass's words rang out with a fierce tone under the tower.

Mu Kun moved the spear he was holding in his hand, and his lowered eyelids made it impossible for you to see the look in his eyes at this time, so that he could hear his determination to swear to the death of Yuzhou from his next words.

"Hehe, even if I self-destruct the city, I won't let Yuzhou fall into the hands of your Batu, let alone Yuzhou City, my Mukun is going to be Baoding."

Hearing Mu Kun's words, Bass's deep eyes looked at the tall city tower in Yuzhou through the raging fire, and he didn't speak for a long time.

At this time, the sky has completely opened, and the people in the city have stayed awake all night and got up early under the great battle of work!

Last night, the sound of the city tower that cut the whole Yuzhou city of the sound of the fight into the ears of every person in Yuzhou, after a night of singing and singing, just after a night of waiting for me, when the day just opened, the people in the city have their own revenge, the bracket buckled towards the city gate.

After a night of high concentration and following the enemy's fighting, the defenders of the city had already been exhausted to the extreme, but they didn't want to suddenly rush towards the city gate with a group of people, clamoring for them to open the city gate and they wanted to leave the city.

In the face of such a panicked scene, the soldiers guarding the city had no choice but to run towards the city tower, report to Mu Kun, and said: "Report to the general, at this time, the city gate has been surrounded by the people in the city, and they are clamoring to open the city gate to leave the city!" ”

Hearing the soldier's report, Mu Kun's heart suddenly felt anxious, the enemy army had not retreated, there were hundreds of thousands of enemy troops outside the city, but the people in the city were suddenly going to open the city gate and leave the city, which was not a good sign.

Glancing at the Batu army guarding outside the city, Mu Kun finally said to Jiuhuang Nanming: "You guys are guarding here now, I'll go down to the city tower to see the people!" ”

Jiuhuang heard Mu Kun's words, nodded, and when Mu Kun turned to leave, he said: "General, persuade the people well, now is not the time to remove dust, there are tens of thousands of people in the city, we can't transfer them all out in a while, not to mention that there is still Batu's army waiting outside the city, and it is impossible to be even more stupid." ”

Mu Kun nodded after hearing Jiuhuang's words, and then followed the soldiers to scare the city!

Mu Kun, who came down with the soldiers, had not yet approached when he heard the people pulling the soldiers defending the city and asking to open the city gate. Suddenly, I don't know who was in the crowd, and said, "General Mu is here, General Mu is here." ”

After the words fell, the people heard the words and looked for Mu Kun's figure, and then after seeing Mu Kun who was scared of the city gate, he said, "General Mu, we are going out of the city, you open the dullness!"

"Yes, General Mu is going out of the city!"

"Yes, we don't want to take it with us in this city, Batu's army has already reached outside the city, aren't we staying here waiting for death? General Mu, you just open the city gates and let us out. ”

With the beginning of one person, the others shouted at Mu Kun one after another, demanding to open the city gate!

Seeing the noisy people draining the city gate, Mu Kun had no choice but to speak: "Everyone is quiet, can you listen to what Mu Mou said?" ”

After Mu Kun's words fell, the people slowly quieted down, waiting for Mu Kun to speak.

Seeing that the people had stopped making noise, Mu Kun glanced at the gathered people and said, "Now that the Batu army is attacking the city, I can understand your feelings. ”

Mu Kun paused, looked at the people who were listening to him more carefully, and continued: "However, now that the army of Batu is waiting outside the city gate, if I open the city gate now, before you can get out of the city gate, Batu's army has already manhole the city gate, and that is Yuzhou is really ruined, and where can you flee to?" ”

"Perhaps when the time comes, your relatives will either be captured or killed by the army of Batu, and if so, who of you will leave the city?"

Hearing Mu Kun's words, the people looked sideways, looking at their relatives or companions around them, their eyes showed horror, and a slightly bolder common person cowardly thought Mu Kun asked: "But General Mu, Batu's army is outside the city, and we stay in the city, aren't we also waiting for death?" I heard that Batu has a lot of troops this time, will we be taken away by Batu like the puppet? ”

The middle-aged man who questioned him was actually a citizen who fled from Jingzhou to Yuzhou during the former Jiangzhou War. In the Jingzhou War of that year, he saw it in his eyes, but he didn't want to escape from the Jingzhou War that year, and he encountered today's scene ten years later, and he was really unwilling in his heart.

When Mu Kun heard this, he looked at the people who were asking, and said: "Batu's army is indeed outside the city, but he can't break through the city of Yuzhou like this, as long as my Mu Kun's breath remains, I won't let Batu's army step into the city of Yuzhou." And if you are going to leave the city now, then Batu's army will definitely kill you, if you stay in the city, until the arrival of reinforcements, then Yuzhou is still the same as before, and Batu's army will also be driven out of the territory of the Celestial Empire by us. ”

Mu Kun's words made many people dispel the idea of wanting to get out of the city just now, and at this time they were all pondering Mu Kun's words just now in their hearts.

The people were so anxious to get rid of the dust, just to escape the war. Because the biggest victims of every war are these helpless people, and in their hearts, all they want is to be able to live a plain life, to live and work in peace and contentment, they have no great ambitions, and their only idea is to live a good life.

So seeing that the people fell into contemplation after listening to his words, Mu Kun was not in a hurry, because he knew that in the eyes of all the people, they would definitely choose to stay in the end, rather than continue to choose to make noise for the soldiers to open the city gate.

As Mu Kun expected, after a moment of silence, many people in the crowd spoke up and chose to stay in the city.

By the time the people had dispersed, it would be an hour later. Mu Kun looked at the tired soldiers defending the city, and said loudly: "Everyone cheer up, we must try our best to hold Yuzhou, strive to wait for reinforcements, and then recover Jingzhou, and then, you will all be heroes of the Celestial Empire." ”

Hearing Mu Kun's words, the soldiers who were already exhausted suddenly shook their spirits.

Let's ask, who does not want to be loyal to the country, who does not want to make some achievements in the army, and then stay until one day to return home to glorify their ancestors. And Mu Kun's words undoubtedly gave these soldiers a goal to strive for, even if they are tired to the point where they can't do it now, they still rely on the ambition in their hearts and insist on keeping it.

Seeing the performance of the soldiers in his eyes, Mu Kun was happy in his heart, and then gave an order to the soldiers around him, and turned around and walked towards the city tower.

At this time, the sky had completely brightened, and Bas looked at the fire that was still burning in front of him, and looking at such a situation, I was afraid that the fire would not be extinguished for a while.

Subsequently, Bas ordered the army to strictly guard outside the city of Yuzhou, and said: "Batu's sons, stay here, we will wait for this fire to burn out the people of the Celestial Empire army in Yuzhou City!"

Although Mu Kun and others used a fire to burn outside the city, but in this summer season, the weather was already terrible hot, and now there is this fire scorching Yuzhou City, in Bass's opinion, Mu Kun and others must not last long to come out of the city.

Mu Kun came to the top of the city tower and looked at the Batu army that could not see the retreat. With the fire burning outside the city, Mu Kun believed that for a while, Buzz would not be attacking the city, and then ordered the soldiers led by Yumu to clean up the scene, and he returned to the general's mansion with Jiuhuang Nanming Su Ran and others.

Faced with the estimation of the losses of his side after Batu's attack on the city this time, Mu Kun already knew in his heart that the losses would be heavy.

It's just that when Yumu reported the number of casualties to Mu Kuntai after cleaning up the battlefield, Mu Kun was still shocked by this number.

The loss of 5,000 elite soldiers, 8,000 of the archers and crossbow archers, and the loss of nearly 20,000 men of the other town guards, and the loss of weapons was also too great.

If it weren't for Jiuhuang asking people to bring fire oil to cause fire outside the city, maybe the losses would have been even heavier, and Batu might have already captured the city gate.

Mu Kun summoned all the generals in the Yuzhou army to discuss the matter, but the people in Yuzhou City were as Ba expected.

There is no river on the border of Yuzhou, and it is terriblely hot in summer. Now there is still a raging fire burning outside the city, although the city wall of Yuzhou is strong and mellow, but it can't help the scorching fire, making the air in the city more and more hot.

It's just that the only thing that Buzz didn't expect was that when the people in the city began to make noise towards Mu Kun again because of the hot weather, Jiuhuang asked the people in the city to dig cellars in the courtyards of each house, so as to avoid the heat of the matter in Yuzhou City.

The generals in the city also often drank the mung bean soup made by the women of the people of Jiuhuang at the suggestion of Jiuhuang.
