It was late at night, Xu Baoshen had already taken a good look at a city, and asked Yao Fangyu to also change into night clothes.

"Master......." Yao Fangyu was thinking of Nangong Jin's sentence at this time, 'Do your best and obey the destiny of heaven'. There were still tens of thousands of people in the city, but the master took him and left.

Xu Baoshen found a backlit place, standing on the city wall in the dark and looking out of the city, like a bottomless abyss. "Don't be afraid, it's not high, we've seen it during the day. After a while, Master pulled you and soon went out. ”

Actually, you shouldn't go, right? Of all the heroic stories Master told, none of the heroes left like this, including his father, who had never met. Yao Fangyu hesitated.

Xu Baoshen thought she was scared, took her hand, and whispered, "It's okay, Master is here." ”

Yao Fangyu smiled. Those heroes include Daddy, Uncle Liang, and Master, who asked for their lives for the people and fought the Japanese at the cost of their lives, so Daddy died. Now, Uncle Liang is staying in the city, and even Nangong Jin is there, but the master wants to take her away ....... I must be a burden, and Master must be thinking about sending me away and coming back. "Ono is not afraid."

"Okay, let's go." Xu Baoshen took Yao Fangyu with him, turned over and jumped off the city wall, and soon disappeared into the darkness.

Not far away, a figure walked out of the darkness, holding a bow and arrow. Standing where they jumped and looking around, Nangong Jin was afraid that they would be discovered by the Tartar soldiers, but he didn't expect Xu Baoshen to choose a good place so that he didn't send an arrow. After a stick of incense, he estimated that he was almost out of the city, sighed softly, looked at the direction they left, and said softly with some reluctance: "I will never see you again." Ono. ”

I don't know if it's because Tartar has a big heart, or if Xu Baoshen really chose a good place. The two of them made their way through the encirclement almost without any danger. Xu Baoshen didn't stop, as if he was planning to go south overnight. It wasn't until dawn that I finally arrived at the abandoned village.

"Come, rest. There is still a long way to go. Strive to get out of the Datong range in three days, and then you don't have to rely on it, hire a car and go directly to the South China Sea. Xu Baoshen smiled and said lightly.

"Master is going to send me all the way back to the South China Sea?" Yao Fangyu asked suspiciously.

"Yes, didn't I say it before, no matter what this time, Master will take you back to the South China Sea, and I can't let you be wronged again." Xu Baoshen pulled her to find a leeward place and sat down together.

Yao Fangyu lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Xu Baoshen smiled, gently hugged her and whispered, "Come, lean on the master for a while." Rest for an hour and then leave, this time, I really wronged you. ”

Yao Fangyu leaned on him, closing her eyes with the familiar smell that had reassured her. But for some reason, I seemed to hear Dong Run and her again, 'Senior sister, you hide.' "Master owes 30,000 taels, and he wants to take you to blackmail the Nangong clan." ''This time, he will definitely ask you to go back to the South China Sea.'' 'Back to the South China Sea? Master said that this time he would take her back to the South China Sea no matter what. Uncle Liang said, 'Don't follow him anymore.' '......, Master, are you going to go back to Tianchengwei?

Let's go back to the South China Sea, just live like this for the rest of my life, I have always hoped to be like this, to be with Master, to stand behind him forever, to forget everything that happened before, to be with Master.

The warbler is dead, right? That's why Ah Jin ....... Yao Fangyu suddenly shuddered, opened his eyes, and seemed to be startled by himself. How could he have thought of him? He never mentioned Quanzhou, this story is ridiculous. Close your eyes and decide not to think about it anymore. Yunmengshan, he could have left with Yingying, but because he wanted revenge, he went to find Jia Daoren. That knife, he blocked in front of him, and he didn't hide at all. Why think about him? Returning to the South China Sea with Master is what I should think, yes, my dream in the past few years has come true. But ......, he is still in Tianchengwei.

**********

When the Ming army that followed Zhao Yingfeng knew that they were going to let them attack the city, they almost mutinied. They rebelled against Ming, but they heard that they had food to eat with the White Lotus Sect, and they didn't have to fight, and they didn't have to be pushed out by the chief official to resist the blame if the city was broken.

After seeing Tartar slashing a few soldiers with a big knife who wanted to theorize, there was an instant silence. When you wait for the battle, it is worth it to slip away directly than to be killed like this.

So, the siege in the morning was much later than usual. What the Ming army at the head of the city didn't understand was that this time the Tartars seemed to have played a formation, first more than a dozen big men rushed in front and rushed to the city gate, behind them were hundreds of infantry, and finally hundreds of cavalry pressed the formation. Strangely, they seemed to have given up the way of climbing through the city walls and attacked the city gates directly. But the city gate is only so wide that dozens of people can block it, let alone hundreds? Besides, they only attacked the main city gate, and gave up all the other three places, which made the Ming army only need to stand at the head of the city and shoot arrows below. The city gate was already full of boulders, and it was impossible to push them open.

The problem was that the group of infantry was actually wearing the clothing of the Ming army. What's even more strange is that the hundreds of cavalry did not step forward at all, but only raised their swords and bows and arrows, aiming at the fleeing infantry. After being killed by dozens of people, the group of infantry seemed to resign themselves to their fate, because they found that the whole city was surrounded by the Tatar army, and no matter which direction they ran, they had to pass through the Tatar army's encirclement, and the Ming army's arrows were less powerful in comparison.

All the people were desperate to slash the gates, and the gates were getting worse and worse, and they were no longer relying on the wooden gates to block the attack. Chen Baishui kept asking people to use various materials to reinforce and block the city gates. Unlike usual, for more than two hours, their attack on this point did not stop, and the enemy had already chopped down stones. Chen Baishui was in a hurry, and it was difficult to say whether the city gate could be guarded if it continued like this. It was Lin Fei who was even more anxious, because the arrows were gone.

Han Hongzhou had already led his troops to the main gate, and cooperated with Chen Baishui to arrange troops in the main gate urn city, while Jin Jianchang, Zhang Maocai, and Huang Huanbiao each guarded one gate, leaving Lu Ao as reinforcements, and the head of the city was responsible for Ding Xionghui, and only Nangong Jin was left on the city wall to defend the enemy who might attack the city wall.

Liang Lie had already received Lin Fei's report that his weapons were insufficient, so he had to ask Lin Fei to prepare stones and other heavy objects to continue the assistance on the city wall. Lin Fei responded here, and hurried to find Chen Baishui over there. He, the quartermaster, is at the end of his rope and has nothing, so he can't throw people down, right? According to Lin Fei's idea, after guarding for so many days, there are no reinforcements, and he can already give an explanation, and if he continues to defend it, it will already be a dead end if the Tartars don't attack, not to mention that the Tartar army has no main force at all.

When Lin Fei ran to the main city gate, he was really startled. In Tianchengwei for so many years, I have never seen a Tartar fight like this. Either rush in and loot and leave, or send troops to rush out to chase and kill, or just wait for the battle but jump directly over Tianchengwei.

Outside the city, the Tartars slashed at the boulders, and the stone chips flew sideways. On the boulders in the city, some soldiers climbed the rocks and slashed at the hands and legs that came in, and some kept piling up stones to block the enemy.

Suddenly, I saw the enemy army rushing to the same formation as before from far outside the city, but this time, it rushed to another city gate, and the spies standing at the head of the city rushed to the commander's tent.

Feng Yue stood at the head of the city and was stunned, frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Is this going to break the city today?" ”

The additional enemy army went straight to the north gate, Lu Ao was ordered to guard the north gate with Zhang Maocai, the city head was handed over to Feng Yue, and Ding Xionghui was on standby for reinforcements.

Ximen, Chen Baishui ignored Lin Fei at all, and Lin Fei had no choice but to order the demolition of the house. Perhaps because he knew that the war was critical, he did not encounter much resistance this time, but Gao Changjing united with several elders and began to organize the people in the city to take refuge.

An hour later, the north gate was gradually cut down. Suddenly, I heard a sharp whistle from the Tartar barracks, the whistle was smooth and long, but it resounded through the sky. With this long whistle, the enemy troops who were attacking the west and north gates began to divide their forces and march towards the east and south gates respectively. What is surprising is that the more than ten big men who were originally in charge seemed to be unharmed, and directly divided half of them to attack the other city gate.

Ding Xionghui was ordered to guard the east gate. Liang Lie always stood at the head of the city, looking at the Tatar army's completely different fighting style from before, silent.

"Boss, today's situation is that the enemy is afraid that he wants to storm the city! The general was not willing to guard the south gate with General Huang. Feng Yue stood beside Liang Lie and said loudly. Indeed, the soldiers in the city today were almost unharmed, and the Tartars didn't even shoot arrows at the city, let alone siege ladders and siege ropes, and even with Nangong Jin, they could only patrol the city in a circle.

Liang Lie was silent, looked at Nangong Jin who was standing not far away, and ordered: "Lin Fei and Huang Huanbiao guard the south gate together. Nangong Jin, take over the quartermaster. ”

On the head of the city, Feng Yue and Nangong Jin glanced at each other, and were stunned at the same time.

Lin Fei was really relieved when he received the order, at this time, it was better to kill the enemy than to be a quartermaster. Therefore, he didn't wait for Nangong Jin to hand over at all, and directly led the troops to the south gate.

Nangong Jin didn't have much ups and downs in his heart when he saw the soldiers demolishing the houses in the city, but when he saw the empty warehouse, he was really dumbfounded. No city can be empty for ten days, as if it had never been. At the beginning, Chen Baishui said that there was still half a month's food, and after so many days of fighting, at least two or three days of armament should be available. Now that he suddenly changed the quartermaster and let himself be taken over by an outsider who is nothing, is it to exonerate Lin Fei? Liang Lie's intention in arranging this was obvious, and Nangong Jin was angry.

The soldiers who contacted kept coming to report that the city gate needed all kinds of materials. Nangong Jin calmed down, now I can't say whether Liang Lie will open the city, if the city is broken, the responsibility is set. If you don't break the city, you still have a chance to cure Lin Fei's crimes!

The demolition continued, and the stones were divided equally between the east and south gates. On the city wall, Nangong Jin ordered to boil boiling water in a cauldron, although the boiling water is not too lethal, but after being burned, the strength can be reduced somewhat. Feng Yue seemed to know the situation of the military quartermasters, and he did not embarrass Nangong Jin.

All the blacksmiths in the city have gathered in the blacksmith shop in the city, and although they sweat like rain, it is not the iron that melts in the blast furnace. Nangong Jin stood in the blacksmith shop here for a while, and an old blacksmith saw it and stepped forward to ask, "This is the one who took over General Lin?" ”

"Yes."

"General's surname?" The old blacksmith seemed to want to get close.

"Excuse me, Nangong." Nangong Jin didn't want to take more.

"General Nangong, then General Nangong and I should also mention this matter." The old blacksmith looked at Nangong Jin, "I told General Lin before, but it's not ......." General Nangong, if there is no more fuel, this blast furnace will be extinguished. ”

Nangong Jin was stunned, as if he didn't think that the old blacksmith would mention this matter.

"Actually, we have melted everything that can be melted in the city, and if the blast furnace continues to open, there will be nothing to melt." The old blacksmith's words were full of helplessness, and more of a sad resignation, "......Outside, everyone knows it, I'm afraid it's today...... ”

Although these few words were silent, they quieted the entire blacksmith shop. After a moment, Nangong Jin suddenly asked, "Can you transport these molten iron?" ”

"What?"

"And he carried the molten iron to the four gates and poured it on the gates. Now the front of the gate is full of stones, and if you pour molten iron on it, the gate should melt down immediately. I don't know if the stone will weld as a result. ”

The old blacksmith's eyes lit up, "It's not that no. Depending on what kind of stone is used, it may generally crack and crumble. However, we don't have so much molten iron, the four city gates are ......, General Nangong, you can give it a try. ”

I don't know who said, "Anyway, if you want to break the city, maybe you can keep it for a while." "Yes, keep this moment longer, maybe the Tartar will retreat."

One sentence gave the little blacksmith shop another glimmer of hope. The old blacksmith smiled and said, "General Nangong, leave this matter to us." ”

**********

Nangong Jin went back and forth between the four city gates to investigate and communicate, but he didn't expect that this method of casting molten iron actually made Chen Baishui and Lin Fei strongly oppose. Chen Baishui only replied with two words: 'Ridiculous! But Lin Fei said, "It's better to pour it on your head, maybe a lot of people will die." In addition, Lin Fei kissed the person who came over and said, "How to fight is their business, if Nangong Jin is the quartermaster, just provide the materials they want." Nangong Jin listened to the fire in his belly.

"Young Master!" With a crying voice, Baxi finally stopped Nangong Jin in front of the inn.

Without waiting for Baxi to speak, Nangong Jin directly ordered: "Go back and find a place to hide in the inn." In case ......, protect yourself and I'll come to you. ”

"Young master, young master, ......." Baxi pulled Nangong Jin, "Baxi wants to follow the young master ......." ”

"Second son." Behind Baxi, Xiao Lian also rushed out, "Xiao Lian is willing to follow the second son." ”

Nangong Jin sighed, looked at Xiao Lian and said, "It's nothing wrong now." However, the enemy may break the city, and you protect Yaxi. If Tianchengwei is really undefendable, I will come to you, understand? ”

Xiao Lian hurriedly said: "Second son, Xiao Lian wants to defend the city with you!" ”

"You're not healed yet......

"I—I'm really fine. Baxi is very well taken care of! ”

Nangong Jin stared at him, and finally said, "Okay, I'll give you the task now." In case the city is broken, protect Baxi, I don't want to see either of you make a mistake. Got it? After saying that, he ignored the two of them and hurried away.

"What should I do?" Baxi looked at Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian thought for a while and said, "Tianchengwei may not be able to keep it." ”

"Will it break the city?" Baxi's face turned pale, showing a look of fear.

"Don't be afraid, I'll protect you."
