Chapter Ninety-Eight: Merge the State in Danger

The setting sun shone on the ruined city, and several disabled soldiers leaned tiredly against the city walls. They were so tired that in just a few days they had repelled the fifth attack of the Huns and the family.

"Damn", Chen Gong smashed down the city wall with his fist, "Damn family, you shouldn't have shown mercy to your subordinates in the first place, you should have killed them all in one fell swoop, not a single one." If not, I would not have fallen to this point. But it's too late to say anything. Chen Gong looked at the sunset in the distance, the blood was remnant, and the blood stained the earth. Wreckage everywhere struggled in the setting sun.

Chen Gong was silent for a long time, how long could he hold on, three days or five days, he didn't know, he only knew the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Bingzhou City behind him. Before leaving, the lord handed over the annexed city to himself, and he will live and die with it.

A few days ago, a well-equipped Xiongnu army of about 10,000 people suddenly surrounded the city of Bingzhou, originally there was nothing, Lu Bu left more than 15,000 people to stay in the city of Bingzhou, according to the ratio of 1:3 of the siege, that is, the number of siegers is at least more than 3 times that of the defense to capture it, but this ratio is only an approximate number, not absolute, for example, now, the Xiongnu take advantage of the night to attack the city of Bingzhou, and at the same time, there are many families who directly gather private soldiers, forming a team of about 20,000 people, They directly attacked the general's mansion, hit the Chen Palace by surprise, under the internal and external attacks, the defenders of the state city were defeated, if it weren't for General Gao Shun and his trap camp, and the city was lost on the same day, even if it was desperately defended, the defenders of the state city also suffered huge losses, the standing camp lost five hundred a day, this number does not seem large, but you have to lose no more than three hundred people in the previous dozens of battles, and that night lost more than the sum of all the previous losses, In addition to the 15,000 defenders who were trapped in the camp and state, they lost 7,000 that night, and the remaining 8,000 people were also wounded.

If this is the case, in the next continuous attack, Bingzhou City will also suffer continuous losses, not because Chen Gong is incompetent, but because heroes are useless. The Huns, he didn't reason with you at all, he came up directly to charge, let you have all kinds of clever plans, and you can't use it, and the most hateful thing is the family, originally the Huns came from afar, as long as they dragged on, the Huns will die, but who would have thought that the family would actually open the door and fund the Huns, and that's it, they are still constantly bewitching the family and the people in the city, making the people in the city panic. At the same time, a lot of money was thrown out to continue to recruit private soldiers, so that in the past few days, a series of measures have taken to increase the number of people surrounded outside, not only has not increased, but has actually increased a lot.

In the face of such a situation, Chen Gong was also in danger, the first thing he did was to dig a trench outside the city, lay thistles, and divert water to the moat. Secondly, what he did was to take out the treasures in the general's mansion, and reward the many soldiers with fine wine, and at the same time call on the people to join the army, not only to give them a lot of money, but also to give a high-ranking official, he believes that Lu Bu will never blame him in the end, the top priority is to hold the city of Bingzhou, and the rest of the belongings will be full of savings in the future, and finally it is to arrest the spies of the family in the city, raid the house, and at the same time directly go to prison for spreading false news, minimize the influence of the family in the city, and at the same time cut the spies caught directly on the city tower. They were then hung on the city walls as a way to intimidate the people of the family.

After a series of measures, Chen Gong finally stabilized the situation in the city, but the threat outside the city was the most deadly, he had not closed his eyes for two consecutive days, although he was a civil official, but he was by no means greedy for life and afraid of death. And at night, he still has to deal with government affairs, and he is already a little unbearable.

The night is getting late, and the lights are sparsely dotted on this once prosperous city of Bingzhou. There was no one to speak, they were so tired, they were so tired that they couldn't open their mouths. According to a few days of experience, the Xiongnu will stop attacking at night, take a short rest, and wait for the next day's attack, it is estimated that it will be the same today, but Chen Gong did not dare to be careless, and still let people defend tightly. And he himself stood up against the wall and prepared to go about the day's political affairs.

Just a few steps out, a sharp horn sounded in the sky, and then I heard the soldiers shouting: "The Huns are coming, ready to resist the enemy"
