284. Recounting

The head of the Tiancheng Acropolis is full of flags, although most of them are damaged, they are still floating. I don't know who ordered a lot of wrapped dummies to be placed at the head of the city, and the real defenders would not have more than fifty people on the entire city wall.

Jin Jianchang and Gao Changjing were at the head of the city, only to see a commotion on the periphery of the enemy army in the northwest, and black smoke rose from several rear camps.

"What's going on?" Nangong Jin, dressed in navy blue clothes, strode to Jin Jianchang's side.

"Back to the boss, maybe, probably, it's General Ding'......." Jin Jianchang is not sure, it stands to reason that Ding Xionghui is not a very impulsive person, although he is not very old, but he has done a good job of reconnaissance and espionage before.

On the side, Gao Changjing said: "General Ding is leading troops outside the city, I'm afraid he wants to help relieve the siege." ”

"Nonsense! He only has a hundred soldiers, what can he do? Nangong Jin was a little angry. Originally, letting him out of the city meant to protect him, Nangong Jin didn't want anyone to sacrifice in vain.

At this moment, there was more black smoke in the enemy camp in the distance outside the city, and there seemed to be open flames in a few places. And these two enemy camps were actually a little chaotic.

Nangong Jin took a deep breath, can she break the siege by setting fire? Or did he find something? I really can't guess Ding Xionghui's intentions. So, after calming down, I didn't guess, but I was still ready to implement it as originally planned. Turning his head and asking Gao Changjing, "How is the situation of the people?" Can you open the gates? ”

Gao Changjing shook his head and reported, "General Feng has been doing this, the number of people is not small, and it will take some time for all of them to enter the cave." I have roughly collected more than 400 people here, and I have formed ten teams to scatter them in the city to make traps. It's also not so fast, and it will take more than an hour to be fully ready. ”

"No, we have to find a way." Nangong Jin stared at the commotion in the distance, not wanting Ding Xionghui to die like this. But my mind was so muddy that I couldn't think of any way at all. The awakening that had just been stimulated by the cold water seemed to be almost over.

"Boss, General Ding shouldn't be blindly sent to death, he must have discovered something by doing this." Jin Jianchang is not defending Ding Xionghui, but really feels that it should be so. Seeing that Nangong Jin was still frowning and pondering, he continued: "I will lead the troops out of the city, and the inside and outside should be ....... ”

"It's an egg hitting a stone!" Nangong Jin disagreed. Not to mention how many soldiers are there in the city? Could it be that Gao Changjing's new group of private soldiers is used? Not!

Jin Jianchang stared at Nangong Jin and became anxious, "If you don't do this, what other way is there?" ”

After a while, Nangong Jin stared at the enemy camp in the distance and muttered, "Break the siege? Either let them go in, or let them retreat, so it will definitely not work if they don't move. It will take another hour. That retreat? What is the reason for them to quit? These few words seem to force yourself to be sober. After all, if there was a way to get the enemy to retreat, they would not have to fight a long time ago.

Nangong Jin pondered for a moment, but still shook his head, "They have tens of thousands, and we only have a few hundred, even if they retreat, can General Ding escape?" ”

"It's just one against a hundred." Jin Jianchang laughed, and a sense of arrogance rose in his words. "Besides, the general died in a hundred battles, whether it was me or General Ding, if we can fight vigorously, we are worthy of this armor!"

Nangong Jin didn't seem to be listening to him, but just muttered to himself: "Those Tartars only listen to their own subordinates, and only besiege and don't attack?" Why is Surig the main force? None of the Grile Tu Department is a war-fighting character, so many people came out this time? Didn't I want to fight? Am I all wrong? Are they also looking for reasons to quit? What about General Ding? "All the questions were unanswered.

Nangong Jin even faintly had an idea, if he was all wrong, he should have asked Liang Lie to open the city to sue for peace. In this way, there will be no Chen Baishui, Liang Lie doesn't have to die, Lu Ao doesn't have to die, and the people in the city who died in the tunnels in vain, thousands of soldiers guarding the city! Is it wrong? It's a pity that time can't be turned back, and I killed people again. Brother Luo, Yingying, and Tianchengwei!

"Boss, the last general asks for orders to cooperate with General Ding to attack the camp!" Jin Jianchang didn't see any movement from Nangong Jin for a long time, and asked for troops again.

"You're just going to die one more person. Forbid! Nangong Jin's attitude is not negotiable. can't die anymore, Ding Xionghui, Jin Jianchang, Feng Yue, Gao Changjing, and the only remaining Tiancheng guards and people. The city is guarded by the territory of the city and by the people who are in it.

However, Nangong Jin's thoughts, even if they say it explicitly, Jin Jianchang will not understand. Because in his heart, soldiers should have died on the battlefield! Tianchengwei has fought until now, and it is only a matter of time before he dies, and it also gives him a chance to die in battle. From this point of view, he was luckier than General Liang. Now the question is, what did General Ding want to tell them?

Gao Changjing seemed to hear Nangong Jin's muttering just now, and proposed: "Boss, in fact, as long as they take a step back, they can completely turn into a defeated ...... fleeing." ”

To Jin Jianchang's ears, this is really no different from nonsense. So, he said helplessly: "Retreat? Why should I return? Besides, the Tartars were defeated? How can it be? This is how we are defeated. Alas......, General Ding, I really don't know what he found? ”

"Ask for a reason." Nangong Jin closed her eyes fiercely and forced herself to wake up. His words seemed to approve Gao Changjing's suggestion, "I want a reason for them to retreat." ”

Since knowing that Su Rige was the main force, Nangong Jin's mind had changed. Even if his thoughts were right before, but now that Zhao Yingfeng has no soldiers in his hands, and the soldiers don't listen to him, even if the city is broken, what will he take to capture the people in the city? Unless he still has some unknown spells, the only way to break the city is to slaughter the city. Slaughter the city? The Grile Atlas Department is not going to do this. There are several other ministries, will they? I don't know, there aren't many people left anyway, so I'm going to fight.

"Why don't we shout in the city, Altan Khan is dead, and the armies will return quickly?" Gao Changjing suggested.

Jin Jianchang laughed, "It's so far away, we can't hear it, we are surrounded here, how can we know if Altan Khan is dead or not?" How could a Tartar believe? ”

"If you can't hear the shouting in the city, then go out of the city and shout Tatar ......." Gao Changjing is still not giving up.

"Mr. Gao, now that there are no monsters, it's no problem to get out of the city, but it's not a matter of whether you can hear or not." Jin Jianchang emphasized, "This is a question of whether people believe it or not. ”

I don't know if Nangong Jin heard what they were talking about, Gu Zi said thoughtlessly, "Those monsters, even the Tartars themselves are afraid of ......." ”

"Boss, those monsters are gone now." Jin Jianchang looked at Nangong Jin with some worry, and saw that his face was pale and his eyes were blank, and he was afraid that he would be delirious.

"The Tartars are very afraid of the gods and ghosts, and those monsters are living corpses to put it bluntly, and they dare not touch them." As he spoke, Nangong Jin looked out of the city, "Although they made up the east and south sides, they never stepped into the place where the monster used to stand, and the carrion was there." ”

"Boss ......." Jin Jianchang kept staring at Nangong Jin, afraid that what he said was a foolish thing, and he was even more worried.

Gao Changjing also looked out of the city. Outside the Tiancheng Acropolis, there was a corpse in the first place, and outside this circle of corpses, there were unformed corpses scattered around. The enemy troops to the east and south stood far away from the corpses. This situation is indeed the same as what Nangong Jin said. Gao Changjing seemed to think of something, and vaguely didn't know how to answer.

Nangong Jin suddenly laughed, and said in a brisk voice: "General Jin, let's act." ”

Nangong Jin's method is very simple.

Let Jin Jianchang send someone to pick up carrion in the formation first, as long as he makes these things look poisonous, he must pick them up and take full precautions, and it is best to wrap them from beginning to end.

At the same time, Gao Changjing organized the people to pack all kinds of foul-smelling filth in the city into fragile things and pile them up at the head of the city. Then, when the pickers returned to the city, the soldiers threw the filth into the enemy camp.

In the end, Jin Jianchang led people out of the city and shouted, 'This is corpse poison, and there is an antidote in the White Lotus Holy City'. It would be better if Ding Xionghui could cooperate behind enemy lines and shout 'Defeat of the corpse poison in the front camp'.

After listening, Jin Jianchang laughed, anyway, he was going to go out of the city and shout, let Feng Yue use the war drum to cooperate, and shout until Ding Xionghui heard it. However, this method is really child's play, but at least there is no need to open the city to meet the enemy, anyway, the matter has come to this point, and it is not impossible to try.

Jin Jianchang and Gao Changjing looked at each other and smiled, and each took the order.

**********

In the city, Feng Yue packed all the food and transported it into the cave. At the same time, he tried his best to organize the people to take refuge in the cave. But no matter how hard he tried, more and more people chose to stay, first the family members who volunteered to be private soldiers, and then almost no men chose to enter the cave except for women and children.

Feng Yue finally brought these women and children to the mouth of the cave, but an old woman on crutches refused to go in, Gu Zi sat directly on the ruins, and said with tears in his eyes: "I am a widow at the age of forty, and now my three sons are going to fight, two are gone, and one is gone." If the city is broken, he can't live, so what am I doing alive? ”

When she said this, there was silence, and many women sat silently with her on the ruins with tears in their eyes, until a child of about ten years old said in a loud voice, 'Live and die with the city!' ’

In the end, only a small half of the people were left in the cave, and most of them were passing merchants. Feng Yue really didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh, in short, according to Nangong Jin's original plan, it would definitely be impossible.

Feng Yue had to find a place to settle everyone temporarily, and then hurried up to the city.

At the head of the city, Nangong Jin stood alone, holding the city wall with one hand, his eyes closed, and his face was bloodless.

"Boss!" Feng Yue stepped forward quickly and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.

Nangong Jin seemed to be startled, opened her eyes and saw that it was Feng Yue, smiled and asked softly, "Are you all settled?" As he spoke, he didn't let Feng Yue hold on, and stubbornly let go of the hand on the wall, pretending to be fine.

Feng Yue was afraid that he would be embarrassed, so he let go of his hand and replied: "Those who are willing to enter have entered, half of them are unwilling, I can't force ......" Feng Yue originally meant that he wanted Nangong Jin to issue a military order to force the people to take refuge.

"Wait, maybe you don't have to open the city." Nangong Jin interrupted him, still smiling.
