The successive battles not only caused the siege of the Rogue Coalition to suffer heavy losses and exhaustion, but also made the defenders pay a great price, and they were already extremely difficult.

Although the army is well-trained, there are not many people after all, and now, it only plays the role of the backbone and firefighting, and the main force to defend the city is still the sign Ding summoned by the embarrassed but dedicated Jixian County.

Originally, the signatories were all peasant coolies, or small citizens, and for them, the bloody war was like a heavenly existence. However, in troubled times, there is no choice, in the face of more than 300,000 rogues attacking, everyone knows the result after breaking the city. Protecting their families and lives forced them to exert all their strength, including their lives. But, in the beginning, defending the city? Don't even think about it, as soon as the military equipment in Ji County was abolished, and there was even more influence on the military forces, the Qianhu was even more simply, directly disbanded the military households of the guard, and let them find a well-earned livelihood on the dock to support their families, and he also took a group of pro-soldiers to serve as a caravan guard, walking between the mountains and Shaanxi, and his income was already much more than that of his half-dead military attaché.

Originally, everyone thought that the local pole had a Chuang army town, and the official army had a county honor, in this troubled world, everyone was fortunate to get this piece of paradise, but they didn't want to, that is also a big Chuang King's rogue, he was not afraid of the strength of King Lu Shi, and started the idea of his own homeland, not only made the idea, but also dispatched 300,000 to attack at a time, and the day collapsed.

Who is not sad to see that the home that is getting richer and richer is about to be shattered, that the better and better days are about to be lost, and that they have to go home again and break the starting point of the dead? Not painful?

Fortunately, at the most dangerous time in Ji County, the army of King Chuang came, so that these people and citizens saw the hope of survival, and also gave birth to some confidence.

The county has worked hard to rectify, thousands of households have the courage to take responsibility, and countless businessmen have poured their money into help, all of a sudden, so that the people can see the hope and confidence of keeping their homes. As a result, it has never been easier to sign Ding, not only the young and strong people in the city have been recruited, but also the wealthy families have also organized the Jiading Nursing Home, and there are also those merchants who have sacrificed their warriors to protect the caravan, even the elderly, children and women, all under the organization of the women's army in the army, join it, or wash and cook, or transport equipment back and forth, but also treat the wounded, and they are very busy, and now, the entire Ji County is all moving, and there is hardly a single idler.

However, at the beginning of the war, when standing on the head of the city and seeing the boundless poles outside the city, one by one the signs were still tightened, their hearts trembled, and their faces were colorless. Even those big clan guards and caravan guards, at the beginning, they all showed off their might and talked a lot, but at this time, their faces were colorless and cold sweat rippled.

However, the army met the battle, only one round, so that the ants as endless as the boundless rogue defeated and returned, seeing the embarrassed retreat of the rogues, seeing the death and injury in one place, this huge result, suddenly inspired the blood of those men in the signing, and strengthened the confidence of the people to keep their homes.

At the beginning of the war, Guangwu and Qianhu set a plan, the first formation was all taken by the brothers of the army, and the force of the army was shown, just let the Jixian Ding and other people watch the battle, so that they could quickly calm people's hearts and boost morale, and the second battle began, it was assisted by the Ding, so that the Dingding could quickly enter the role and see the blood, after the third formation, it was almost all handed over to the Jixian coalition army, and the brothers of the Chuangjun army were only auxiliary, where there was danger, the brothers of the Chuangjun army would go, so that not only could the large number of coalition troops be exercised, It can also preserve the physical strength of the brothers.

Such an arrangement was unanimously agreed upon by everyone at the joint meeting, because, as everyone knows, this time the Liukou came to attack, not just a passing by, the Liukou to Ji County, to the base of the army on the other side of the ferry is bound to win, and the main force of the army that their own reinforcements are counting on is fighting in Weinan, and it will not come for a while and a half, the war has just begun, and the battle is still fighting, and it will not end at all in a day or two, even if it is possible in January or February, so it is the most direct way to practice while fighting, and it is also a last resort.

This method is good, under the personnel of Ji County and the equipment of the army, the soldiers and civilians defending the city are becoming more and more courageous, and their confidence is getting stronger and stronger.

"What about today's casualties?" Holding the somewhat broken battlement with both hands, looking at the lights of the Liukou camp connecting heaven and earth in the distance, Guangwu asked the thousand households next to him indifferently.

The thousand households, like Guangwu, looked at the lights of the Liukou joint venture, and replied in a flat tone: "There are nine hundred and four casualties in the signing, more than one hundred and seventy casualties in the Jiading Courtyard and caravan guards, and more than three hundred people have been mistakenly hit. And the Chuang Jun brothers also lost thirty-two people. ”

His answer was orderly, not half confused, and his tone was also a kind of report to his superiors, but this change was unconscious, but this five-grade court general did not feel that it was inappropriate.

"What about Du Ruhu's Xiangyong loss?" Guangwu looked at the outside of the city motionlessly, and his hands involuntarily left a little female wall battlement, this battlement was very uncomfortable to the touch, don't look at it, it was the blood on the battlement city wall, the blood and ice have enemies, and there are also their own brothers, but more are still enemies.

Now, after many days of fighting, Signding has been trained into a strong army in battle, although this training is at the cost of life and blood, but as long as the goal is achieved, it will not hesitate.

"If King Chuang knows that I am doing this, will I have another punishment?" At this time, Guangwu suddenly thought of King Chuang, and when he thought of Lu Shi, who was in a heavy mood even if he killed and injured many enemies, he felt inexplicable admiration and respect in his heart.

Qianhu didn't know what Guangwu was thinking, and when he saw Guangwu asking, he still replied with a report on his work: "Xiangyong has been left on the back to defend, and it is not the direction of the main attack of the Liukou, so the loss is not big, and after a few days, there are more than 100 dead and wounded, compared to our front, it is simply unbearable." ”

Guangwu nodded absentmindedly, and sighed casually, as if he knew.

Qianhu turned his head to look at Guangwu, who was a little absent-minded, thought about it, hesitated for a long time, and then spoke again: "Brother Guangwu, I still don't understand why the thousands of villagers who have been trained are put on the back to dry up there, and at any cost to block the signing on the front, if the two teams are dropped at the beginning, then the casualties of the signing will be reduced a lot." ”

Guangwu turned his head at this time and glanced at Qianhu with frowning eyebrows. The Qianhu immediately defended: "Guangwu, don't misunderstand, but in the past few days, I have heard some gossip from my subordinates. ”

Guangwu looked back at the Liukou joint venture again, as if he could see something in the continuous campfire. But he still didn't care and asked casually: "What gossip?" ”

Qianhu hurriedly swallowed his saliva and quickly explained: "Brother Guangwu, the brothers below do have some ideas about your arrangement. Seeing that Guangwu was not unhappy, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "When assigning tasks, there is nothing to sign Ding, but those big clan forces, as well as the Shangjia Guard, have quite a few complaints, they said that the most effective are the Chuang Jun brothers, and Du Ruhu's village bravery, but the Guangwu brothers' arrangements are inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Guangwu asked lightly.

"That is, the brothers of the Chuang Army retain their strength, everyone can understand, after all, this is to use good steel on the blade, I don't know when to fight the city defense war, keep the main force of the Chuang Army, and it is serious to use it at the most critical time, at the same time, with you, everyone also has the bottom in their hearts, even if they fight for a fine light, they will not break the city, and their families and children will have a good life."

"Seriously." With the increase of time, and with the appointment of King Chuang as the deputy garrison of the base area, Guangwu was also different from the original in terms of momentum, and at this time, the general of Qianhu, who was not under his command at all, also brought some momentum.

Seeing that Guangwu was displeased, the thousand households were busy chattering, and said in an octave lower voice: "It's just that the general put Du Ruhu, who should be the second combat-effective Du Ruhu's fellow Xiangyong, to be idle in the back, but he thinks it's inappropriate, this is a somewhat thought-provoking arrangement." ”

"Think too much? It's not that Du Ruhu may have bribed himself to let him preserve his strength. Guangwu secretly smiled bitterly.

These days, it is true, according to common sense, Du Ruhu's three thousand village warriors were personally trained and supported by Du Ruhu, and in terms of equipment and membership, it is indeed much stronger than those signatories, and those big clan armed forces and caravan guards.

But is that really the case? No. After thinking about it again, at this time, the performance of this Qianhu in this city defense can really be commendable. In particular, he was an official general, the name of the Ming Dynasty is still there, and the people are still in awe of this official, so this thousand households in this defense of the city, but also use him to go to the front line, day and night to make the people have a heart of love, envelop this thousand households, and have great help to defend the city, some words, I still have to say to him, so as not to have a dislike in the future, affecting Mr. Zhao Zi's decision to recover Ji County, thinking that it is a springboard for the east to enter Shanxi. So, Guangwu nodded to Qianhu and said in a low voice: "And please move to Lord Qianhu, I have something to say." ”

Hearing Guangwu's low call, Qianhu was stunned, and suddenly ecstatic, this call shows that Guangwu has confidential things to say to himself, and he will tell himself the secret, which means that his efforts these days have not been in vain, and finally in exchange for Guangwu's recognition, Guangwu's recognition, that is, the recognition of the army, the recognition of the army, it means that he has been valued by the king of Chuang, and things from then on are logical. As long as what you want in your heart can come true, you can be regarded as having an explanation for the brothers who have followed you for many years and worked hard in the wind and rain.

So, he hurriedly whispered to the two brothers who were inseparable from him: "I have important matters to discuss with General Guangwu when he enters the enemy building, and you are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

The two pro-soldiers immediately nodded happily, because they knew the thoughts of their own generals, and at this time, seeing that things could be done, why didn't they follow suit? Immediately held down the handle of the knife, stood in front of the door of the enemy building in an orderly manner, opened the door of the enemy building to let the two of them in, and then closed the door, looking around vigilantly.
