Seeing the thief on the opposite side sending out fireworks for help, Qianhu and Zhang Yuan both breathed a sigh of relief, the thief asked for help, this will contest is considered a victory, and the thief's will is defeated, so what else is left?

But after thinking about it, Zhang Yuan and Qianhu both took a breath of cold air, and involuntarily looked left and right, their faces full of panic.

Originally, I thought that there were so many people and horses in this gang of thieves, but now they are all trapped in the fortress, and they are still fighting, and there must be no reinforcements and a half, even those forces that have benefited from the thieves have only sent observers to watch the battle, and there has been no abnormal help, so Qianhu Zhang Yuan and others did not send scouts to guard against it, but just went all out to deal with the bandits in front of them.

If it is really as Deputy Qianhu said, then the thief has a back hand, and now the two armies are in a strong crossbow at the end of the offensive and defensive stalemate, and the competition at this time is the number and will, if at this time, one side has a new force of even a thousand people to join the battlefield, it will be a devastating blow to the other party.

Now a decision must be made, should we stop attacking the whole team to prepare for a surprise attack, or should we grit our teeth and persist and strike a final blow while the morale of the bandits in the fortress is lost?

The thousand households looked at Zhang Yuan with their eyes, and they commanded and dispatched a connoisseur, but they commanded Zhang Yuan's guest army, and at this time, Zhang Yuan had to make a decision whether to advance or retreat.

Zhang Yuan saw Qianhu looking at him, knowing his consciousness, he was grateful, and he also knew that the situation he was in now was very strange and he needed to make his own decision.

Now Zhang Yuan's vision and mind are no longer the rich and rival country, and his eyes are only staring at the money, in the officialdom This paragraph, and after this shocking battle, his mind and vision are broadened, at this time, he began to look at the overall situation from the perspective of an ambitious and ambitious hero.

Look at the subordinates of the village brave who are constantly climbing the city and shouting and fighting in front of them, and then look at the people around them who are looking at them with expectant eyes, and think about the fact that they are about to succeed with heavy casualties, but they want to succeed, and they are very unwilling in their hearts.

Thinking of this arrangement again, there is no news of the team that went to cover the city to dig and bomb the city, and there is no result of success or failure, how can you give up easily?

Can't give up easily, give up the siege, just give the thief a chance to recover his physical morale, then I don't know how much it takes to fight again, I will work hard and persist until the end, this is the top priority, whether the township Yong battalion can become famous in a battle, let all parties fear, let the court value, at this time.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, according to our careful investigation before the war, all the soldiers and horses of this group of thieves are in the city, and now the thieves in the city are already at the end of the crossbow, and the soldiers have been lost, we are only one step away from victory, and at the same time, our plan has not yet come to fruition, so it is a pity to give up like this." ”

Looking at Qianhu nodded slightly, Zhang Yuan stepped forward and said loudly: "What's more, listening to what the big man said, the black thieves released fireworks to summon reinforcements, and the first to arrive at the battlefield are the so-called militia, that is, the militia, which must be scattered all over the place, so it will take time to assemble, not to mention that the time of being poisoned by the thieves here is still shallow, and the climate has not yet been formed, and there may not be many poor mud legs willing to follow the thieves, so there may not be how many people and horses, and then, even if the so-called militia comes to die, it has not been trained or fought for less than ten days, so where are he afraid?" ”

The thousand households nodded in agreement with the clarity of Zhang Yuan's analysis. At the same time, I also know the intention of Zhang Yuan to say such a loud voice, isn't it to boost morale? Looking at the generals on the left and right, everyone nodded yes, and the original little commotion began to slowly subside.

That Zhang Yuan continued: "What's more, in front of us, although there are more than 2,000 Xiangyong and 500 archers are exhausted, don't forget, we still have 1,500 veterans in the city, which is an absolute new force, not to mention that we still have 2,000 signatories, even if the thieves recruit thousands of militiamen who are not trained and killed, what are they afraid of?" It can give them a dozen and never forget the troubles. It also saves us from running around looking for their trouble. ”

Those veterans in the city who have seen blood, but they were all rotated by Zhang Yuan at the beginning, ready to rebuild the township warrior army as the backbone of the seeds in the future, and never take it to the battlefield again.

When the thousand households heard this, they nodded their heads and said that they were reasonable, but out of prudence, they still sent a dozen scouts to investigate, thinking that it was a warning.

Looking at the scouts who came out, Qianhu put his mind at ease and said loudly to the herald: "You take the order of the general and Lord Zhang, rectify the countryside in the city, and immediately go out of the city to fight again. ”

The herald knelt down to take the general's order, lifted his sword, and galloped away from the city on his horse.

He nodded and called a herald and ordered: "You hurry up to the city, meet the county lord, and ask him to hand over all the signs to me, even if it is to cook, and leave no one behind." ”

"Yes." The herald was just about to leave. Qianhu grabbed him and said: "You and the county zun said that this battle is related to the overall situation of Shaanxi, the net worth and life of all of us, and whether everyone is prosperous. ”

The herald looked at the stern-looking Lord Qianhe, nodded fiercely, ran directly into the city, ran to the city, and reported the decision and pleading of the thousand households one by one.

Standing at the head of the city, the county has already seen the fireworks set off on the fortress, he knows that this is a thief fireworks message, it must be a call for help, or a notice to the thieves outside to fight back, once a large number of thieves are killed, the military households and townsmen who have been exhausted from fighting outside the city can no longer withstand it, and in their own county, even the signing has been mostly taken out, and once the outside is defeated, he will no longer have the strength to defend the city, the fall of the county has been a certainty, at that time, the responsibility of his own lost place can not run, thinking of this, At that time, my legs and stomach were trembling to the front, and if it wasn't for my master's support, I would have collapsed to the ground.

Wait for yourself to stand firm in front of you, immediately let the master go down to the city, and ask the master to quickly notify the army outside the city to withdraw to the city, and it is important to defend the county seat with all its might.

Before the master could go down to the city, the herald of the thousand households came, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the city, and without waiting for the county to ask, he said what Zhang Yuan and the thousand households said as it was, and implored the county to agree to the request of the thousand households.

After getting Zhang Yuan and Qianhu's explanation, and the analysis of Qianhu later, the county respected thought about it again and again, and finally stomped his feet and made up his mind: "The so-called wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and everything is in accordance with the general's words." ”

After Qianhu finished giving the order, he turned his head to look at the battlefield in full swing, and his heart was nervous, hoping that the personnel of the death squad to bomb the city would work quickly, and in his eagerness, he suddenly felt a tremor of the earth, followed by a rolling thunderous sound that hit everyone's eardrums, and then rushed up behind the fortress A burst of flames, black and red gunpowder smoke and flames flipped and gushed, like a dinosaur straight into the sky.

Look at the fortress that was originally silver, but now stained with blood, like a bloody god, trembled in the sound of this huge explosion, and the mirror-like smooth surface began to crack into countless cracks like wrinkles. In the tremble, the filthy ants on the body were shaken off, and the whole fortress became crumbling. Even the village warriors under the city were like drunks, staggering and unsteady, and fell to the ground one after another.

All the sounds on the battlefield were muffled and shocked by this sudden loud noise, and as the thunderous sound slowly dissipated, the battlefield became deathly silent, as long as the buzzing hiss in everyone's ears kept echoing.

Zhang Yuan and the thousand households opened their mouths wide in shock, and they couldn't retract their consciousness for a long time, so they felt the shocking scene like most people, and only came back to their senses after about a quarter of an hour, glanced at each other, and said blankly: "It's done, our plan is done." "Then they forgot their feelings together, and hugged each other and cheered regardless of their dignity and authority;" It's done, we've succeeded, the thief's village is broken, the thief's village is broken. ”

As they cheered, the battlefield suddenly erupted in earth-shattering cheers: "The thief's village is broken, the thief's village is broken." ”

On the city of Ganquan, the officials of Ganquan County, regardless of fatigue watching the battle, were all cheering at this moment, and the county was even more cheering and couldn't stop the tears, the thief village was broken, when the thief sent out a call for help, it was broken before the thief reinforcements arrived, and his own military exploits and his own future and his own money came with this earth-shaking cheer.

The sentinels of the various forces watching the battle on the mountain in the distance, as well as the deputy who had a gust of wind, all bowed their heads gloomily, and the fortress was broken, along with the respected hot-blooded men in the fortress, and they disappeared and were never seen again.

Cao Meng, who was fighting hard at the head of the city, was shocked to the ground by this sudden explosion, and the leader of the Women's Army, who followed him closely and fought with a gun in his hand, fell down with Cao Meng in this sudden explosion and fell together.

After the explosion, Cao Meng saw his seriously injured brothers all bleeding and dying peacefully, there was no one standing on the city, and not a single enemy shouted to kill, and the ice wall of the fortress under him shook loudly in the explosion, and at the same time, there was a terrible click of ice cracking, and cracks like poisonous snakes began to spread throughout the fortress.

The fortress is broken. Cao Meng thought, looking at the squad leader of the women's army who fell beside him, he actually laughed with relief, and the squad leader at this time, he stretched out his arm without shyness and hugged Cao Meng tightly, and Cao Meng also hugged the weak but absolutely strong body tightly, "The city is broken, we can finally die together." ”

"Yes, we finally died together, but I don't regret it, I'm still happy." The squad leader muttered.

"Me too, it's enough to have you as a companion."

Looking at the far-reaching night sky, Cao Meng muttered: "Farewell, King Chuang, Great Commander, my brothers, I can't follow you to see the Datong world, but I am satisfied, but I have no regrets, if there is an afterlife, I am still willing to fight for you, for the Datong world depicted by the military advisor, and die without regrets." ”

Everyone was either excited or sorry that the fortress was broken at this moment.
