Gongsun Chan temporarily withdrew his troops, and Tai Shici breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the menacing Youzhou Army soldiers retreating like a tide, Kuaitai Shi Ci did not order the pursuit. This battle began in the morning and lasted until noon, not only the Youzhou army outside the city could not bear it, but the soldiers in charge of defending the city were also very tired. Tai Shi Ci had to let the soldiers rest, and it was impossible to chase and kill.

Tai Shici was covered in blood, standing on the ground with a spear, gasping for breath.

Around, there are dense corpses.

On the ground, pools of blood were formed, and the ground was also stained red with blood.

Stepping on the ground, the soles of his feet are covered with blood-red plasma.

Tai Shi Ci looked around at the soldiers on the tower, who looked tired, either standing against the city wall to rest, or sitting on their butts in a pool of blood to gasp, or bending over to rest......

There was not a trace of blood on Zhao Fengyue's body, and he didn't know where it came from. He came to Tai Shi Ci's side and said, "General Tai Shi, I asked people to prepare the broth and meatloaf, you should also fill your stomach first!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Fengyue asked the soldiers to have lunch.

Tai Shi Ci had time to rest and eat meat and drink soup with the soldiers.

The soldiers were quite excited when they saw that Tai Shi Ci was the same as them, and Tai Shi Ci spoke to them cordially. Even in the face of great enemies, I feel happy inside. After less than an hour and a half of rest, the sound of war drums was heard outside the city again.

The drums thundered, the trumpets sounded, and the battle began again.

This time, Gongsun Zhan's attack was even more fierce.

Cloud vehicles, ladders, siege vehicles and other siege equipment greeted the city tower in Wuji County. One by one, catapults aimed at the towers, bombarding them incessantly, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

The soldiers of the Youzhou Army killed on the city tower, and Tai Shici led the soldiers back and forth to block them.

The iron spear in Tai Shici's hand had given up the use of it, and instead used a large knife to slash back and forth on the city tower.

The knife is sharp and direct, which is convenient for fighting on the castle tower.

Tai Shi Ci is like a god of war, invincible. The big knife in his hand rose and fell, killing like cutting melons and vegetables, and constantly beating down the Youzhou army that rushed to the city tower.

Countless Youzhou troops attacked, but they were killed again.

The battle was unusually fierce.

The number of dead and wounded soldiers continued to increase, and neither of them was timid and fought with all their might.

The battle lasted until the evening.

It was getting late, and Gongsun Zhan once again called in gold to withdraw his troops, allowing his soldiers to retreat to rest.

The towers and outside the city were already covered with corpses. The remnant sun was shining, and the blood-stained city tower was scarlet and bloody, filled with a disgusting smell, which was unbearable to see. Tai Shi Ci's physical strength had been exhausted, and the big knife was on the ground to adjust the state of this body. At this time, Zhao Fengyue came out again.

Zhao Fengyue commanded the people to come up with broth and meatloaf, and these people were all initiated by Zhao Fengyue.

The soldiers on the tower were well fed and drunk, and regained some spirits.

After Tai Shici filled his stomach, he rested on the city tower, and he saw Zhao Fengyue commanding the people to clean up the corpses on the city tower, and his heart moved. There is a lot of pressure on the city to defend the city, and perhaps, the people can really come in handy.

With a plan, Tai Shici immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Fengyue.

Zhao Fengyue had a smile on his face and said respectfully: "The general is tired for a day, so he should rest early." ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "There is no sleepiness, I have an idea." ”

"General, please!" Zhao Fengyue said.

Tai Shi Ci pointed to the people who were still busy and said: "Wuji County was attacked by Gongsun Zhan, and there were only more than 6,000 soldiers defending the city. I intend to conscript the people into the army to help us defend the city. ”

Zhao Fengyue exclaimed, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The people are fleeing, not to mention whether they are willing to help us resist, they have not been trained, and they can't even hold a knife when they go to the battlefield, how can they kill the enemy!" ”

Tai Shici said: "The battlefield is the best training ground, and after a battle, it will naturally be." ”

Zhao Fengyue still shook his head, feeling unreliable.

Tai Shi Ci said in a deep voice: "Zhao Guoxiang, with our strength, we will hold it for three or five days at most." If there is no help from the people, I am afraid that if the lord arrives, the city will be broken, and once Gongsun Zhan's soldiers come in, you and I will not escape death. Therefore, the people must be recruited to help us resist. ”

"Okay, I agree!"

Zhao Fengyue couldn't hold back when he heard it, so he nodded and agreed without hesitation.

Right now, you can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor!

Tai Shi Ci waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go to the place where the people gather." ”

Tai Shici did not delay, and came to the place where the people gathered with Zhao Fengyue. He summoned the people nearby, looked at the unfamiliar faces with a hint of worry, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, my name is Tai Shici, and I am the chief general in charge of the defense of Wuji County. In today's battle, Wuji County defended, and Gongsun Chan did not enter. ”

When the people heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Tai Shi Ci continued: "However, the troops defending the city are insufficient. Tomorrow may be able to hold on, but the day after tomorrow may not be able to hold on. Once the city is broken, we will all be ruined. Many of you will think, "When the city is broken, we should flee again." But everyone fled from the counties, and they knew how powerful the Wuhuan soldiers were, and where the Wuhuan soldiers passed, there were no people or animals left, and there was a scorched earth. ”

"The army attacking Wuji County outside the city, and the Wuhuan soldiers, they are here to invade Wuji County."

"Once the city is broken, Wuji County will definitely become a scorched earth."

The villagers present also could not escape death. In order to be able to defend Wuji County, Tai Shici implored everyone to help. As long as you hold on for another three or five days and block Gongsun Zhan's attack, reinforcements will arrive. ”

"I beg you to lend a hand and help me fend off the army outside the city."

Tai Shi Ci's expression was sincere, but the people exclaimed again and again.

These people all fled to Wuji County from all over the world, and they knew the evil deeds of the Wuhuan soldiers, and they hated the Wuhuan soldiers to the core. Tai Shici said that Gongsun Zhan's army was in league with the Wuhuan soldiers, and the people suddenly couldn't stabilize. Once the city is broken, there is no doubt that you will die!

"General, what do you say, we will definitely help you defend Wuji County."

At last some of the people began to respond.

Tai Shi Ci was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately said, "It's very simple, I will recruit the middle-aged men among you to enlist in the army. All those who are recruited will take up arms and kill the enemy with me. Wuji County has reached the most dangerous moment, if you do not resist, your parents, wives and children, your relatives and friends, will become the ghosts of the enemy's steel sword. ”

At this time, Tai Shici did not forget to exaggerate it, so that the people could resist with all their hearts.

"Fight, fight with Gongsun Zhan."

"Yes, there are so many of us, we will definitely be able to defend Wuji County."

The people shouted, and Tai Shici had a smile on his face.

Tai Shici raised his hand and pressed down, signaling the people to be quiet, and continued: "The man's husband stands up to the sky, and now is the time to take up arms to protect his family. I will send soldiers to recruit them, and those who are willing to kill the enemy will come with me. ”

The people agreed, and Tai Shici ordered the soldiers in the army to take charge.

Next, Tai Shici went to a place where the people lived and called on the people to resist Gongsun Zhan. On this night, Tai Shici had very little time to rest, but the results were rich.

One night's recruitment, more than 10,000 more civilians to help defend.
