The thick Adam's apple on General Si's neck stalk rolled up and down a few times, stabilizing his mind for a while, and thinking about what Sun Chengan said also made some sense.

If it was really a reinforcement sent by the imperial court, he would have to find a way to inform the defenders in the city in advance, so that he could meet the outside world. Now that it has suddenly arrived, it is very likely to be a trick of the thief army, seeing that the city cannot be attacked for a long time, and if you want to open the city gate, you must not guard against it!

Desperately holding back the impulse in his heart, General Si also stretched his neck and looked into the distance. It's a pity that the dust and smoke are billowing up, except for the faint sight that it is the banner of Daqi, the rest of the eyes can't really see anything.

What can be clearly seen is that the front team of the Great Chu people and horses besieging the city all turned around and rushed back, and the rear team seemed to have formed a huge vortex, and the sharp sound of swords and guns colliding and the earth-shattering shouts of killing were clearly audible.

Tang Wannian, the king of Pingnan, who was hiding behind and watching the battle from afar, stared at the direction of the city gate without blinking, and sometimes looked up at the city tower, hoping to see any unusual movement of the defenders at the head of the city.

To his disappointment, half an hour had passed, and the gates were still closed, showing no sign of loosening. And the defenders at the head of the city did not move, as if they were all standing there watching the excitement.

Fine sweat broke out on his forehead, and he couldn't hold his breath again. Turning his head to Fan Junshi beside him, he whispered: "Military Division, the defenders are not fooled, how can this be good?" ”。

Fan Junshi raised his hand and stroked his snow-white beard, and said with a slight smile: "The prince is a little restless, he plays a full set of acts, and the guards are cautious and timid, and they dare not go out of the city, which was expected by the old man." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand lightly, and the herald behind him understood, quickly raised the command flag in his hand, and sent a signal to the rear team.

The shouting and killing sound at the whirlpool of the Great Chu rear team was more powerful, and the crisp sound of the "clanging" of weapons colliding was also louder, and it sounded like the battle between the two sides had entered a white heat.

General Si at the head of the city was a little impatient, and whispered to Sun Chengan: "Boss, in my opinion, it is really our reinforcements, otherwise we have not moved for so long, is there still a need for thieves to act?" ”。

Sun Chengan shook his head firmly and said, "The general listens to me, and you must not act rashly!" Now you and I are shouldering the lives of the people of the whole city, and if we make a mistake, we will fall into a state of no return! ”。

General Si hurriedly circled around the city tower with his hands behind his back, as if there was a villain in his head, constantly turning his head. He thought for a moment: I am the lord of a city at the moment, and I have military power, why should I obey the orders of this bad old man? If you miss the fighter, you should regret it for life! After a while, I thought: No, without the strong support of this old man, Taizhou City would have been broken by thieves a long time ago, not to mention that the reinforcements also came strangely, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, Jiang is still old and spicy, listen to him right......

After suffering for half an hour, the defenders of the city still did not move, even though the city was turned upside down.

Suddenly, the shouting and killing from the rear team of Da Chu gradually became quieter, and General Si stood on tiptoe and looked up, but saw that the banners of Daqi fell one after another, and were finally buried by smoke and dust.

There was a shout of neighing, and the army of Da Chu re-surrounded it like a tide, but they were not in a hurry to attack the city, but divided into two in an orderly manner, and slowly gave way to a passage in the middle.

A tall horse followed the passage to a place about a stone's throw below the city. The man on the horse held a long knife in his hand, majestic, his wrist flicked, and with a "poof", a general dressed in the black iron armor of the Great Qi Xuan, who was tied up by five flowers, was thrown to the ground.

The general struggled to get up, but raised his head and shouted to the city, "Who is the Taizhou guard?" Why are you so cowardly, don't you know what to do with the outside? Can you watch the reinforcements being slaughtered by the Great Chu thieves, but you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and watch from the wall?! ”。

Speaking of this, he lowered his head and gasped, stretched his neck and said in a loud voice: "It's too late to regret it now!" To tell you the truth, I came desperately to solve the predicament of Taizhou in one fell swoop, who would have expected this fate! We're the last support the Imperial Court can send!"

From now on, there will be no reinforcements from the imperial court! ……”。。

Before the words fell, the long knife in the hand of the sword-wielding general swung down. The person who was tied up by the five flowers let out a scream of "ah", his body twitched violently twice, and then he fell to the ground motionless.

The man on the horse raised the blood-dripping long knife in his hand, looked at the city and shouted: "The defenders of the city listen, the reinforcements sent by the Great Qi Imperial Court have been completely annihilated by our department, and Taizhou City will become an isolated island from now on!" Our army could have taken advantage of the victory to pursue, and today we can set foot on the Taizhou Mansion! If you know each other, quickly surrender the city, maybe this king's heart is soft, raise his noble hand and let you wait for a way out. ”

At this point, he shook the reins of his horse, hissed a long hissing from his crotch, and circled in place.

He raised his head again and looked at the city tower and shouted: "Listen, the people of the city, if anyone dares to secretly help the defenders and help the defenders, on the day the city is broken, this king will definitely break his body into ten thousand pieces, punish his nine clans, and wait for his own self!" Today and Stay and wait for one more day, and our army will attack the city tomorrow."

After that, he laughed three times and rode away. The army under the city also slowly retreated, and routinely did not forget to drag the corpse away.

General Si on the city tower was starless and annoyed, but he couldn't bear to blame the thin and withered old man next to him.

Sun Chengan's sleeve was suddenly pulled, and he turned his head to see that it was a dark-skinned man.

The man's face turned pale, and he said with a stiff expression: "Old man, the enemy army has not set up artillery to attack the city today, and there is no need to repair the city wall. The villain hasn't seen his wife and children at home for a few days, and he has long been very worried about this chaos. A little farewell, let's go down to the city and go home. ”

Sun Chengan sighed slightly, seeing that there were more than a dozen helpers he had found gathered around him, it was not easy to stop them, so he only advised: "It's okay to go back and rest for the night and reunite with your family." But tomorrow morning must come on time, and you can't do without holding the city! Also, keep in mind the old man's warning: After going back, it is strictly forbidden to chase after the wind and spread rumors. ”

The group of people chattered repeatedly, bowed their heads and bowed, and hurried away.

Sun Chengan turned around and glanced at General Si, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the general's body unwell?" Why is your face so haggard? ”。

General Si said: "General Ben is a little annoyed that he didn't make a decision just now, and he couldn't save the soldiers of the rescue army in time, and he is worried in his heart. Now, this Taizhou capital city is already an isolated island, and it should be broken overnight! ”。

Sun Chengan hurriedly persuaded him: "The general must not be discouraged, and there is no need to blame himself. According to the old decay, this place has long been an isolated island. The imperial court probably wants to send reinforcements too, but I'm afraid it's powerless. Do you remember your oath and mine: the city is in the people, and the city is ruined! ”。

At dawn the next day, Da Chu's men and horses came in a surge again.
