Seven days in a row.

Every day the grassland coalition army is frantically attacking the city, it is impossible to count how many people the grassland coalition army has died in total, but the number of casualties among the soldiers in the capital is constantly rising, and the face of each general is full of exhaustion, although Luo Xin has been rotating to defend the city, but this high-intensity attack and defense makes every dusk, the moment the war ends, all the soldiers have a feeling of prostration.

The tense atmosphere made all the generals impatient, and in the course of seven days, there were several times when the grassland coalition army could attack the city wall, but they were all suppressed by the Ming soldiers.

This is also the happiest thing for Luo Xin, the grassland coalition army has never attacked the city, which means that the barbed wire fence laid by Luo Xin has not been used, if in seven days and ten years, let the grassland soldiers attack the city and start to climb the barbed wire, Luo Xin really has no confidence to finally hold the capital.

But......

At this time, Luo Xin, who was standing above the city, had worry in his eyes. He saw the intensity of today's attack and defense, and the situation that the grassland soldiers almost attacked the city several times, and knew in his heart that maybe tomorrow would be the time when the grassland coalition army attacked the city.

"My lord, this barbed wire fence ......"

Admiral Li also realized that tomorrow's war may be more tragic, these seven days, all the generals came to the city, they all saw with their own eyes that the grassland coalition army approached the city more and more times day by day, according to this momentum, tomorrow may be the time when the grassland coalition army attacked the city, so all the soldiers also pinned their hopes on the barbed wire that Luo Xin could come out.

"Barbed wire is able to stop the steppe tartars!" Luo Xin said in a low voice: "It's just that the day when the steppe Tartars will attack the city is still too early. We...... There are still dozens of days to hold on until the cold winter......"

The generals were silent, and everyone understood the meaning of Luo Xin's words in their hearts, even if the effect of this barbed wire fence was huge, it would eventually be broken.

For a moment, a tense atmosphere hung over the city.

The camp of the Steppe Alliance.

The Great Tent of the Chinese Army.

The atmosphere inside the tent was equally tense. Huang Taiji shouted in a condensed voice: "Seven days, it took us seven days, and we didn't even touch the head of the capital, but nearly 10,000 people died. If we continue to fight according to this trend, we don't have to return to the grassland, and we will all die under this damn city of Beijing. ”

There was silence in the big tent, Huang Taiji took a deep breath, and shouted:

"On top of that, we don't have much to eat. Originally, it was only enough to eat for ten days, and during these seven days, we went out and plundered non-stop, but we only grabbed enough food and grass for five days, which means that our food and grass were only enough for eight days.

Eight days!

We must take the capital in eight days. ”

Above the city.

Luo Xin looked at the grassland company camp opposite, and said secretly in his heart: "We must come up with a way." ”

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened, Luo Xin stood there motionless, and the generals behind him did not dare to move, all of them looked at Luo Xin's back expectantly, expecting that Luo Xin, the long-won military god, would be able to come up with a solution to the problem.

Stars appeared in the sky, blinking and blinking......

Luo Xin's heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and shouted, "Let Jiang Song come to see me." ”

After a while, Jiang Song, the weapons supervisor, hurriedly came to the city.

"Meet your lord!"

"Master Jiang, you immediately make some Kong Ming lanterns now, and then control the length of the candles in the Kong Ming lanterns, and control the distance of the Kong Ming lanterns to be able to land in the grassland camp, how much time will it take to calculate?"

"An hour."

"Do it now!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'll leave it to you."

"My lord, where are you going?" Admiral Zhang asked softly.

"Guozijian."

At the gate of Guozijian, Luo Xin kicked off his horse, strode to the gate, held the knocker and knocked on it.

There was a sound of footsteps inside, the door opened, and the porter appeared in the doorway. As the porter of Guozijian, he naturally knew Luo Xin, the champion of the new department, and Luo Xin and they came to Guozijian to erect a monument. When he saw that it was Luo Xin, he immediately saluted and said:

"The villain has seen Lord Luo."

"Who's on duty today?"

"It's Lord Wu."

"Take me to him."

"Yes!"

In the duty room of Guozijian, Wu Qiugui saw Luo Xin, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Lord Luo......"

"Lord Wu!" Luo Xin got straight to the point and said: "I don't come here today, I have something to ask for." ”

Wu Qiugui's expression was stunned, and now Luo Xin is serving as the privy councillor and overseeing military affairs. At this time, he came to Guozijian to be related to military affairs.

But......

Guozijian is a group of scholars, what can they help with?

The scholar of Guozijian is the future of the Ming Dynasty, and nothing can happen, so he cautiously arched his hand:

"Lord Luo, please speak. If the lower officials are not able to call the shots, they will go to consult the great sacrifice wine. ”

Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't waste time, I just came to ask the scholars of Guozijian to help me copy some leaflets." ”

"Just copying something?"

"Yes!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "However, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone must be provided by Guozijian." ”

"No problem!"

Wu Qiugui's heart was relieved, and his heart was also excited, a few days ago, Luo Xin scolded Xu Jie at the gate of the city, and even the face of all the civil officials was not good-looking, and now Luo Xin begged to come to the door, if the Guozijian can make a little contribution to defending the city, he can also block the mouth of the people in the capital. These days, the phrase "useless scholars are useless" has begun to circulate in the capital, which makes them feel very uncomfortable in the hearts of civil officials.

"How many students does Guozijian have now?" Luo Xin asked.

Wu Qiugui smiled and said, "Your Excellency, rest assured, after the war began, Guozijian ordered all students to live in Guozijian, and there were nearly 3,000 students in Guozijian at this time. ”

"Good!" Luo Xin nodded happily and said, "You go and gather them, let them wait in each academy, and the official will start writing." Then let them start transcribing. I just need them to copy this night, and tomorrow I will arrange for the Ministry of Industry to print it. ”

Wu Qiugui left in a hurry, and the Guozi prison soon became noisy, and when these scholars heard that Luo Xin wanted them to help, and it was to help defend the city, they all became excited, and they entered the schools one by one with their bookcases, and sat there anxiously waiting.

Half an hour later, I saw Luo Xin's figure appear at the door, and the scholars immediately stood up and said:

"Meet the Rhoda!"

Luo Xin waved his hand and said: "The war is urgent, so don't be polite." ”

As he spoke, he handed a piece of paper to a scholar in front of him and said, "You read it out and let others copy it." ”

"Yes, Lord Luo!" The scholar excitedly took the piece of paper with both hands, this is Luo Xin's own pen and ink!
