Snow, full of snow.

Winter has finally arrived. Standing at the head of Linwu City, Han Yuan's heart was full of indescribable bitterness.

Why, why haven't the imperial court reinforcements arrived? Isn't the imperial army going to come?

What Han Won didn't know was that the imperial army had actually arrived. It's just that the imperial army was divided into two parts, the main force went straight to Zhou Xuan's old nest Yuezhou, and the rest of the divisions were led by Bai Junwu and guarded in the city of Chuzhou. The imperial court had no intention of supporting the officers and soldiers of Bei'an Prefecture at all.

Judging from the use of troops, the plan of the imperial court is undoubtedly the most correct. It's a pity that these officers and soldiers in Linwu City are destined to be regarded as outcasts.

"Sir, we still have less than 3,000 brothers, and there is not enough food."

In the city, Ma Erhan froze weakly to Han Yuan.

"Ma Erhan, do you regret eating the military rations of the imperial court until now?" Han Yuan asked lightly.

Ma Erhan shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing to regret." If it weren't for you, I would have died in the horse farm. Now that we're both going to die here, it's really fateful. ”

"Okay, okay." Han Yuan nodded and said softly: "From today onwards, if there is no food, we will eat dead human flesh!" ”

Ma Erhan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. When that time really comes, what else can you do besides eating the dead.

"Sir, in fact, I have never understood, why didn't you surrender to Zhou Xuan? Actually, I think that we voted for him, and when the imperial court reinforcements arrive, it will not be too late for us to defect again. ”

Ma Erhan asked suddenly.

Han Yuan looked at him, and Fang shook his head for a long time and did not answer.

Ma Erhan thought too simply, if his people surrendered in the past, they would definitely be broken up and reset by Zhou Xuan, and they couldn't contact each other, so they couldn't talk about defection.

In fact, in Han Yuan's heart, another important reason why he chose not to surrender was for his younger brother Han Xian and his fiancée Jiang Luoyue. At this point, he was selfish to everyone in Linwu City.

If the won surrendered, for the imperial court, the people related to the won would become the family members of the traitors, and they would definitely be implicated in the future. Therefore, Han Yuan is unwilling to surrender, at least, he must not surrender until Zhou Xuan ties Jiang Luoyue and his younger brother to his eyes.

…

"Lord Wang, Yuezhou is in a hurry. The imperial army rushed straight to the state city. Where to go, please make a decision. ”

The rebel army tent, Liu Dong anxiously reported to Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan still looked light and light, and slowly asked, "Is Chang Chao back?" ”

Liu Dong said: "I'm back." However, the person did not bring it back. ”

"Huh." Zhou Xuan snorted coldly and said, "Order, remove Chang Chao from all military positions, and let him start as a pawn." By the way, beat him with fifty sticks! ”

Liu Dong hurriedly said: "King Yue, I'm afraid this is not appropriate, General Chang has a high prestige in the army..."

"Prestige? This king asked him to help me arrest a few unarmed flat-headed people, but he couldn't catch them! Is it that this king is usually too good to them, and when this king wants to use them, they will perfunctory this king one by one? Beat! Hit me hard! ”

Liu Dong didn't dare to say anything, but he faintly felt in his heart that King Yue's temper might not be a big deal. If you follow him, you may die without a place to be buried.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Dong was about to leave, but Zhou Xuan suddenly stopped him.

"Tell the brothers, let them work harder, and they must take Linwu City within today."

Liu Dong couldn't help but ask, "What if you can't take it down?" ”

Zhou Xuan sighed and said, "What else, naturally retreat." If Yuezhou is lost, the fate of this king will be your fate. Especially you, Liu Dong, Gu Feng's death, you have the responsibility that you can't get rid of. You have no choice but to be with this king. ”

"I dare not have two hearts." Liu Dong was afraid that Zhou Xuan would suspect him, so he hurriedly explained.

"Alright, alright. Organize the men and horses to attack the city! ”

Zhou Xuan waved his hand impatiently.

…

The rebels attacked again.

The people at the head of the city were numb, and no one could remember how many times the rebels had attacked. They just stuck to their posts, numbly shooting arrows, throwing bricks and stones, and pouring boiling water at the city.

The rebels under the city also seemed to be numb, they had lost their previous fierceness, and they just climbed towards the city involuntarily.

Every moment, there is a living life that disappears from this world forever.

"Whoosh,"

Han Won was suddenly hit by an arrow in the chest, and he didn't know if it was poisonous.

"The leader is injured, quick, send him down to the city and find a doctor! Get him a doctor! ”

Li Kui ordered a few soldiers with red eyes.

The soldiers carried Han Won to the bottom of the city, and a grizzled doctor (who had been busy for dozens of days) hurriedly took off Han won's armor and tore his clothes.

"There is no poison on this arrow, but the leader is badly injured, there is a shortage of medicinal materials here, and there is not enough food, whether the leader can hold on depends on the will of God." The doctor said.

"Before the leader wakes up, everything is under my command!" Li Kui shouted to the surroundings.

Ma Erhan knew that Li Kui was better than himself, and also said: "Listen to Brigade General Li, now is a matter of life and death, everyone must unite!" ”

Everyone had no opinion, and the two brothers, the big tiger and the two tigers, did not dare to say anything against it. Originally, a long time ago, the two of them had the intention of surrendering Zhou Xuan, but since Han Yuan stabbed Zhang Zhuangyang and Wu Jier that day, both of them were shocked, and they didn't dare to make any small moves.

"You all listen to Brigade General Li." Han Won struggled and commanded several officers around him.

He moved his mouth, and said slowly: "If, if the thieves break the city, bother you, give... Give me a good time. ”

Han Yuan said, his eyes darkened, and he didn't know anything.

…

Won had a dream.

In the dream, he did not participate in this battle, but stayed in Gaoyang City and married Jiang Luoyue.

It was a wonderful night, and he lifted Jiang Luoyue's red hijab and lingered with her until dawn.

Then, Jiang Luoyue gave birth to a son for him, and he changed from a teenager to a father.

His younger brother Han Xian participated in the imperial imperial examination, successfully passed the top prize, was summoned by the emperor, and glorified his ancestors.

"Sir, sir, wake up!"

Ma Erhan's voice surrounded Han won's ears.

Han Won slowly opened his eyes, he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and even felt that he might still be in a dream now.

"Sir! It's good that you're awake! Ma Erhan said excitedly: "The rebels have retreated!" The rebels are back! This Linwu City, we have defended it after all! ”

Han Yuan moved his lips and wanted to ask clearly, but his whole body was weak, his throat was dry and hoarse, and he couldn't say a word.

…

The rebels really retreated.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers in Linwu held the lonely city for two months, and now there are less than 1,000 people left.
