If it weren't for the last resort, Yan Xing was really unwilling to send the elite soldiers who had been temporarily recruited in the city to defend the city.

In the hands of these people, there were farmers, merchants, craftsmen, prisoners, sons-in-law, and slaves, who were used to carry and transport arrows, stones, rolling wood, and operate stone-throwing machines and other defense equipment, which was far better than the defense of the city.

Even those Hanoi and Hongnong soldiers who are easily shaken by the morale of the army are more or less soldiers who have seen the battle, and they can not be counted on in the field battle, and they can be used to defend the city, as long as they are not flooded by a large number of enemy troops on the city, they can still barely come in handy.

However, after only hastily training, even the queue formation was uneven, and he had never seen the strong soldiers fighting in the city, Yan Xing could hardly imagine what unimaginable consequences would happen after they went to the city.

They may have the fighting spirit to defend Sangzi and protect their families, but no one knows what kind of reaction a group of farmers, merchants, and craftsmen who were still holding farm tools, calculation chips, and rulers not long ago, as well as convicts, sons-in-law, and slaves who were mixed with fish and dragons, will react immediately after seeing the cruel battlefield full of flesh and blood.

Yan Xing only knew that when he killed the enemy for the first time, behind his bold words, there were trembling hands and a trembling heart.

He even saw with his own eyes that some light heroes and evil teenagers who were brave on weekdays went to the battlefield and witnessed the blurred flesh and blood, stumps and broken arms, and they did not see the fierceness and courage of the past at all, and they even shouted and screamed, regardless of military law, and ran back regardless of it, until they were captured by the army, and their heads were cut off in a daze.

Therefore, after the order, Yan Xing was commanding the soldiers to defend while his heart was still hanging.

He didn't know if the soldiers who supervised the war could drive these good and bad elites to block this round of attacks for the city?

Yan Xing didn't know that while a large number of Ding Zhuang in the city had ascended to the top of the city, there was also a team of soldiers who were not in the establishment, and they also took advantage of the chaos in the fierce battle of attack and defense to join the soldiers who supervised the battle in the upper city and also ascended to the top of the city.

on the outer city wall.

There were constantly fierce Xiliang soldiers who turned over the city head in an attempt to seize the city wall, and this group of strong people who suddenly went to the city successfully killed and repelled the small number of Xiliang soldiers on the city head in a short period of time.

However, as time went on, the sturdiness of this group of Shangcheng soon revealed fatal flaws.

After a short period of fighting, with the gradual increase in casualties and the consumption of their own physical strength, the will to resist stubbornly at the beginning of the city is slowly weakening.

Gradually, the large number of strong people were killed by a small number of Xiliang soldiers who climbed the city wall and retreated, although they were numerous, they were panicked, and they had their own thoughts, and there were faint signs of rout and escape.

The number of soldiers in the city was too small, and the losses in the fierce battle were not small, and the casualties were also increasing.

"The thieves slaughtered the city and wiped out the people, Anyi is in danger here, if the second and third sons don't fight to the death, how can the families in the city survive?"

A brightly clad sergeant shouted, but his voice was overshadowed by the sounds of fighting on the battlefield for a moment, and it had no effect.

Fortunately, they did not just shout, a sergeant had already crossed the ranks, rushed forward, and cut down the two prisoners and servants who had retreated the fastest, and he immediately leaned down and cut off the head of one of the prisoners, and carried the bloody head, and drew a line of blood on the city, like a fierce god, and shouted to the retreating spirit:

"In the land of military contention, there is advance but no retreat, and there is death and no life. Death to those who retreat from this line! ”

While speaking, another sergeant with a team of soldiers had already crossed the chaotic crowd and struck forward one after another to kill the Xiliang soldiers who had climbed the city and rushed forward to kill.

Behind was the bloody head that had been cut off, and in front was the city wall that had re-stabilized the situation, and after being stunned by the sturdy people who had been forced to stop and retreat, they seemed to be aware of their situation again, and shouted forward again, rushing towards the city wall in front of them.

The tragic hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city continued, and under the leadership of this group of sergeants who suddenly appeared, the guards at the head of the city destroyed and knocked down many ladders of the enemy army besieging the city, which made the situation improve for a while, but the Xiliang soldiers who were unwilling to fail launched a new round of attack, and then the head of the city fell into a stalemate again.

From a distance, these living people, like small black shadows, slowly moved on the head of the city, moving forward and backward, backward and forward, and the cycle repeatedly.

Until the west slope of the sun was obvious, the last rushing car to attack the urn city had already been burned by the urn city guards, and the arrows were all around the urn city, so that the failed attack Guo Yan's army had to give up and retreat outside the city.

As for the outer city wall, although Wu Xi commanded the soldiers to attack in turn, he was not able to capture the city wall, and after the ladder was knocked down and destroyed for many rounds, it was also completely destroyed, and the momentum of the army's attack gradually weakened.

In the end, the formation of Guo Yan's army had to sound the sound of retreat, and the Chinese army regretfully ordered the whole army to give up the siege and retreat.

After a day of fierce fighting, the guards who successfully held the city under the fierce offensive of Guo Yan's army, after a period of cheering, had to stop their exertion and rest on the spot, in order to recover their strength as soon as possible.

Among the resting guards, the special sergeants who had fought bravely at the head of the city soon attracted the attention of the other guards, for some of them had taken off their hoods to reveal beautiful green hair, and their blood-stained faces were white and smooth, and their voices sounded different from ordinary people.

It turned out that in the battle to defend the city just now, there was a woman in the group of soldiers who fought bravely.

This couldn't help but shock the soldiers guarding the city, but what shocked them even more was that the identity of these women was actually the sister of General Pingbei, and some maidservants in the county government who practiced soldier armor.

Of course, they didn't know that it was Yan Wan who had just shouted, Dong Dai who killed and deterred, and Ma Yunlu who led the army to kill.

But this did not prevent the city guards from respecting and fearing these women who fought bravely to kill the enemy, especially Ma Yunlu, who rushed to kill in front, and there were five or six Xiliang soldiers who died in her hands.

Everyone subconsciously felt that this woman with a murderous aura on her body should be the general's sister.

So, after the first day of the city defense battle, the general's sister, Yan Wan's reputation for fighting bravely at the head of the city slowly spread among the guards.

At night, Yan Xing commanded the soldiers to take turns on duty in the city defense, inspect the wounded soldiers, and reward the soldiers who fought bravely today.

At the beginning of Guo Yan's army coming to the city, the people in the city were panicked, thinking that a catastrophe was coming, and even among the county government, there were some officials, thinking that the enemy was coming, and the troops in the city of Anyi were weak, in order to avoid repeating the mistakes of Xie County, it was better to escort the family of the prince of the prefecture and retreat to Wenxi and even Linfen, Pingyang and other places in the north.

But after Yan Zhu listened, he mercilessly rebuked this disguised theory of abandoning the city and escaping. Just imagine, when the princes, officials, and families in the city, as well as the county government Pengshi, fled to Linfen and other cities in the north, what did the soldiers, surnames, and people in this Anyi city think.

People's hearts are not solid, even if there is a city and a golden soup, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support it for half a day. When the time comes, they will be chased by the Xiliang cavalry, who have won consecutive battles, and they are afraid that these officials who assert that Anyi cannot be defended and retreat to the northern city will also be unable to escape the end of destruction.

Therefore, Pei Hui, Sun Zi and others of the United County Government were strictly instructed to mobilize the big surnames in the city, recruit the strong and strong into service, and vigorously support the preparation of the commander Yan Xing to strengthen the city defense and increase the armament, and make preparations for fortifying the wall and clearing the wilderness and holding on to Anyi.

Now, although only one day has passed in the defense of the city, the strengthened city defense armament has obviously had a noticeable effect.

What's more, although Guo Yan's army, which was attacking with all its might, took turns attacking the city today and once broke through the city gate, it was not able to make any other major progress.

The success of this defense successfully boosted the morale of all the officials and soldiers defending the city, and made the people in the city have a certain confidence in the next fortified city.

Yan Zhu waited for the county government officials to take this opportunity to strike while the iron was hot to consolidate the confidence of the city defenders.

And Pei Shu was pregnant, but she drove specially for Yan Wan and others.

It's just that during the condolences to the guards of the city, after hearing the deeds of the sister of the prince of the palace who was praised by the soldiers and Jingzhuang, who bravely killed the enemy at the head of the city, she thought about it, and finally changed her mind and did not take Yan Wan and the others who disobeyed the order and went out of the palace and mixed in with the guards.

Just after telling Yan Xing who came in a few words, and leaving behind the elite sergeants of Dian Wei, who were originally strictly awarded and specially sent by Yan Xing to guard the general's family, Pei Shu quietly got into the car again, without alarming too many people, and drove back to the house.

Sitting in the carriage, Pei Shu, who was entangled in many trivial matters, adjusted her breath and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Although she is a woman, she has wisdom and courage that is not inferior to that of a man.

In Anyi City, although it successfully defended the attack of Guo Yan's army, it was only a day in the past.

In the ensuing siege battle, the battle will only be more dangerous and difficult.

Therefore, the officials and sturdy guards of the city need to be constantly motivated, and Yan Wan, with the dignity of the general's sister and the body of a woman, went to the city to fight bloodily, which is just able to stimulate the fighting spirit of most of the city guards and the strong in the city in this critical situation.

Therefore, although Yan Zhu, Yan Xing and others saw it, they did not deliberately block it, nor did they deliberately publicize it, and Pei Shu naturally could not make a contrary decision to the remaining civil and military forces who insisted on resisting the enemy at this time.

Gently rubbing the life in her womb, Pei Shu, who was sitting quietly, showed a smile, she seemed to feel that Yan Xing and her life continued in silence.

Hopefully, all of this can slowly get better.
