In the Shuaifu, the atmosphere was very depressing.

The crowd was silent.

After a long time, a herald arrived.

"Most of the enemy troops have gathered outside the city, it is estimated that there are no less than 20,000 people, and there are many enemy troops in the northern jungle who are coming outside the city one after another!"

The commander waved his hand, and the herald withdrew.

"What the hell is going on? Who's going to talk about it? Did Morizawa die like this? "The coach is very optimistic, he likes this confidant very much, and he is very sad to hear the news that he has not returned.

"The vanguard of the Annamite must have crept out of the city at night, before we found out, and if they tried to march in the middle of the night, they would have tricked us out of the city. It's our carelessness. The general replied with great regret.

"It must be so, the Annamite people are scheming, every time they trick us out of the city to fight them, but I didn't expect to fall for them this time, losing 2,000 people at once, but fortunately only 2,000 people went out, if Morizawa takes 3,000 people out of the city, we will suffer a big loss." The general, who had struggled to go out of the city to annihilate the enemy, replied with no sadness or pity in his tone, and even seemed to be a little gloating.

"Two thousand people are gone, and they can't come back. Let's think about what to do now, the Annan people are afraid that they have spent a lot of effort this time, and they will definitely bite us hard. There are 20,000 enemy troops under the city, and we don't know how many are behind us, can we hold this point? A general asked.

"Why can't you hold it, the year before last, 30,000 Annam people came to attack the city, and it wasn't a gray back, as long as we didn't go out of the city, we were willing to defend it!"

"There are already people out of the city, and the whole army has been destroyed, before the war starts, two thousand people will die first, the morale of the soldiers is low, at this time the enemy is storming, it is not good to say that a wave of impact, the city will be broken."

"The people of Annam are really as powerful as you say, why didn't they break the city a few years ago? Why did you fight for decades or hang out under the city? Marshal, the people of Annam don't have to worry, as long as we hold the city gate, we will win this battle in the end! ”

"Don't argue yet, let me think about it." Coach Xiang Mu Tou found that his subordinates could not help at all in making ideas except for quarrels.

It's a pity that Morizawa died, but if you die, you will die, and there will be no immortals in war.

Fortunately, only 2,000 people were lost this time, and the whole army had 13,400 people available in addition to the old and weak, and there was no problem at all in holding the city and repelling the attack of the Annamites.

The Annan people are too cunning, and they still have to be careful in the future, not to be too careless, if they lose their capital, their position will be shaken.

Wait for the Annamites to retreat, and then go to the national capital Vijaya to lobby and recruit thousands of soldiers from the south.

"Okay, you all go back, all go to the city, no matter how the Annan people seduce, no one is allowed to leave the city, and whoever dares to disobey the military order will be killed. Remember, this battle can only be won, not lost! After the commander made up his mind to hold the city and resolutely not leave the city, he immediately issued the order to the generals.

"Yes!" The congregation should get up.

Just as he was about to leave, another officer came to report.

"Marshal, my subordinates went to check just now and found that General Morizawa took out of the city not two thousand people."

"Not two thousand? How much is that? The boss asked.

The generals who were about to leave immediately stopped and stood in place, could it be that Morizawa took more people out of the city without permission?

The officer cautiously replied: "Back to the commander, after checking, General Morizawa has taken 3,500 men out of the city. ”

"Three thousand five hundred?" Da Shuai was taken aback when he heard this.

Although he was mentally prepared just now, Morizawa would take more people out, but he thought that he would dare to bring more than 500 people, but he didn't expect that he would dare to bring 1,500 more people, which completely exceeded his expectations.

Now none of the 3,500 men have returned, and the defenders of the city are 1,500 less, and there are so many fewer people at once, I am afraid that the city will be difficult to hold.

Once the city is lost, he will eventually die as the commander regardless of whether he will die in battle or not, and if he does not die in battle, his family will be executed. This city must not be lost, not in any way!

"We have to ask for help, what do you think?" The coach turned his mind and immediately said what he thought first, and then asked the generals what they thought.

"I must ask for reinforcements, how can we defend the city if we lose so many people at once!"

"Call for reinforcements immediately, or it will be too late!"

"Yes, please go overnight, reinforcements must arrive within a day, if the Annanites attack fiercely, we won't be able to hold out for long!"

"Agreed, ask for help!"

The loss of 3,500 men, what this meant for the town, the generals knew very well. The 3,500 people who went out not long ago were 3,500 people, but the 20,000 defenders were imaginary, and even they did not know how false they were, and the real number was estimated to be no more than 15,000. Subtracting some of those who can't go to the city and can't pick up weapons, it's good to have 12,000 or 3,000 people, but now there are probably less than 10,000 people in the city who can fight, and 20,000 enemy troops have gathered outside the city, and there are still a steady stream of enemy troops gathered, and they don't dare to guess how many there will be in the end.

Once the city is broken, they all have to die. Asking for help is the safest thing to do, you have to ask for help, and the nearby reinforcements can arrive within a day, and as long as they hold on for a day, their lives can be saved.

"Okay, help!" Seeing that the generals had no objections, the marshal made a final decision.

"Yaliara, you stay, the others go to the city, be sure to hold on for a day!"

At the sound of the order, the generals left, leaving only one man.

Commander Xiang took up the pen and wrote the letter asking for help, stamped his seal, sealed the letter and handed it to the general.

"Yaliara, you go and deliver this letter in person, and it must be handed over to the Marshal Hongliye, just say that the Annanites are attacking the whole country this time, and the enemy army is no less than 60,000, and we can hardly resist it, so we can only hold on for one day, please be sure to lead at least 20,000 reinforcements to come, otherwise our city will be broken, and the next one will be the city he is stationing! Do you understand? After speaking, the marshal took off a personal item from his body and handed it to the other party.

General Aryara took the belongings of the new and marshal for help, and immediately replied: "The last general understands, the marshal can rest assured, and I promise to invite reinforcements!" ”

Da Shuai patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Okay, go and come back quickly!" ”

After General Aryara saluted, he quickly turned and left, leaving the city south to find reinforcements.

At the top of the city, the archers' arms were sore, and they still did not see an enemy approaching under the city.

Looking at the growing firelight in the distance, the defenders began to fear in their hearts.

If the people of Annamite had such bows and arrows in their hands, so many enemy troops, one man and one arrow, the head of the city would probably be full of sharp arrows, and they would all die on the head of the city by then. But fortunately, the Annamites did not have so many bows and arrows that could shoot more than one hundred and fifty paces, which was undoubtedly the luck of their occupiers.

The generals patrolled the city, one by one extremely nervous, looking at the fire in the distance, I am afraid that the enemy army is really thirty or forty thousand, or even fifty or sixty thousand, if they continue to attack the city, maybe in less than a day, the city will be broken, once the city is broken, they will definitely die without a place to bury.

"Cheer up, the enemy is there, they will rush through at any moment, and if you want to live, keep your eyes open, take up your bows and arrows, and let not any enemy come down to the city! Do you understand? "The generals were patrolling the city, and when they saw that the lifeless soldiers were starting to get tired after being on guard for a long time, they immediately tried to revive their morale.

As soon as the sergeant in the city heard the general's shout, he naturally reacted and replied loudly: "Understood! ”

Hundreds of people responded at the same time, their voices were very high-pitched, and their tired spirits suddenly lifted up, and their eyes, which had begun to be astringent, were reopened.

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

“.......”

After the generals patrolled the city and shouted a circle, they came to the city again, and shouted a few words everywhere they went, until the lifeless city was boiling, and the whole city was no longer sleepy.

In the distance outside the city, the fires of the jungle in the north were still gathering in a steady stream, and I don't know how many there were, and it seemed that there was no time to stop.

Just when the generals looked at the moving fire dragon and their hearts were full of despair, the fire dragon suddenly began to disappear in front of their eyes, and after a short time, it disappeared completely.

They looked at what was happening in front of them and didn't know what was really going on.

Judging from the speed of the fire dragon's movement, the Annan people have not completely come out of the jungle, there should still be people inside, and now it is still dark, what do they mean by extinguishing the fire, aren't they ready to come out? It won't be that simple! The Annanites are very cunning, and this must be another trick.

They stared at the north until dawn, and the fire never came up again.

It was dawn, how many enemy troops were outside the city, they finally saw clearly, it was really the army of Annam!

A mile away, densely packed, groups of enemy troops stood in order, like stakes, standing motionless as the ranks stretched into the jungle in the distance. It is difficult to estimate how many enemy troops there are, but it will certainly not be less than 30,000 or 40,000 people, it seems that the Annan people are determined to win this time, and they will be more than lucky!

None of the 3,500 people who left the city last night could not come back, and several groups of enemy troops in Annam were searching for something on the battlefield with black smoke, maybe it was the money of the dead, maybe it was the enemy army who was alive, who knows, they were the victors, what to do, how to do it, it was up to them to say, and the people of the city could only watch from the city now.

The occasional scream from the ragged and chaotic battlefield came to an abrupt end, and it should have been the undead Occupy people.

When the day dawned, now standing in the city and watching the enemy kill their living companions, to be honest, they felt very uncomfortable, but they could only watch, and if the enemy did not rush over, they would have no choice, and it was impossible to take revenge.

But if the enemy does rush over, they may be the ones who die.

Fortunately, the Annanites were not so impulsive.

After clearing the battlefield, they returned to the army, and stood quietly, like many of the enemy, and entered into a confrontation with the archers of the city of Cham a mile away.
