Therefore, when they hear such words, they will inevitably feel a sense of fear in their hearts.

There is a saying that death is not terrible, waiting for death is terrible. When the black-clothed army suddenly set a three-day deadline. The city guards on the side of Baling City couldn't help but feel that someone was already holding a rope and slowly strangled their necks.

The suffocating feeling of fear that made people angry from the bottom of their hearts simply made all the city defenders in Baling City breathless.

Therefore, under such circumstances, some generals who did not have much loyalty to the Yuanmeng court and held official positions purely for money. In order to keep the human head on his neck, he couldn't help but have strange thoughts in his heart.

Of course, although most of the generals who do not see hope are now dissenting. But there are still very few people who want to surrender the city. The vast majority of generals at this time just planned to flee here with their family wealth and save their lives in the troubled times.

But even so, in the northwest corner of the Baling city wall, under the handsome banner, Pei Changqing, as the head of Yuezhou Road, felt the subtle changes in the minds of the generals under his command. But he still couldn't help but cry out sadly, and his footsteps fell to the ground with a soft foot.

But at this time, even Pei Changqing, as the coach, couldn't help but feel a sense of desperation.

……

At night, the time has reached five o'clock (ten o'clock in the future). At this time, as Pei Changqing's nephew, Qianhu Pei Song did not find anything unusual after inspecting the camp. Ben thought about going into the account and resting. But it didn't come to pass, at this time, Pei Changqing sent a personal guard to announce to him.

Thinking about this uncle, it will definitely not be a trivial matter for this uncle to send someone to announce him at this time. Therefore, Pei Song couldn't help but take three steps and two steps to the Chinese army tent where Pei Changqing was, and couldn't help but walk into the tent, so he said: "Uncle, you announced that your nephew came late at night, do you have something important to tell your nephew?" ”

"Song'er, come here." At this time, for the inquiry of his nephew. Pei Changqing waved his hand first, letting everyone else in the camp retreat. And after that, he also made a gesture for Pei Song to come and sit down beside him.

And Pei Song was full of puzzlement in the face of his uncle's behavior at this time. But at this time, he still didn't say a word, and obediently came to Pei Changqing's side and sat down.

"Song'er, so far, my uncle can't help but feel that relying on my Yuezhou soldiers and horses all the way, it is obviously difficult to resist the large-scale invasion of the black-clothed thieves. So at this time, my uncle wants you to go north to Wuchang Road by land at this time to ask for reinforcements for Baling City. ”

When Pei Song was beside him, Pei Changqing patted his nephew's hand, and couldn't help but say such a thing.

"Ask for help. At this time? Suddenly, hearing his uncle Pei Changqing say this, Pei Song's heart couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After all, the call for help can not be successful. But this act has the effect of calming the morale of the military. Therefore, Pei Song couldn't help but wonder why his uncle suddenly let him go north by land in the middle of the night to ask for reinforcements.

You must know that if you leave like this without letting other generals know, you will not be able to play the role of asking for help to appease the hearts of the army. Besides, it is hundreds of miles away from Baling City to Wuchang Road by land. It's obviously too late for time.

Moreover, even if you get to Wuchang Road, can you really ask for reinforcements?

Pei Song asked himself and asked for help from Wuchang Road. It's really not impossible. Although there are a lot of soldiers and horses on the Wuchang Road, more than half of those soldiers and horses are stationed in Wuchang City, in case there are still tens of thousands of remnants of the thieves, and they are desperate to fight for trapped beasts.

In this way, how could it be possible for this side of Yuezhou Road to ask for too many reinforcements. Besides, if there were really reinforcements on Wuchang Road, they should have come a long time ago.

After all, the black-clothed thieves attacked Yuezhou Road with great momentum, and Wuchang Road was next to Yuezhou Road. The officials over there are not blind, how could they not know that Yuezhou has very few soldiers compared to the black-clothed thieves.

So after thinking about this joint, Pei Song couldn't help but look at his uncle and said, "Uncle, I'm not an ignorant child anymore." Even if my uncle doesn't want to tell me, why bother with this. ”

Pei Song said so bluntly, but he couldn't help but make Pei Changqing stunned when he heard it, and sighed silently.

"Hehe, my Song'er has grown up." After being silent for a long time, Pei Changqing couldn't help but smile and sighed.

"Okay. That way, I don't have to hide anything. Song'er, now most of the officers and men in our army are already panicked and have no fighting spirit. Under the coercion of tens of thousands of black-clothed thieves and horses outside the city, those generals inside and outside Baling City did not dare to betray me.

But after these three days, in order to save my life, I think there will be many people who will abandon me. In this way, what are the chances of our army to win! When the words were said here, Pei Changqing, who was desperate in his heart, couldn't help but sigh silently again.

"I, Pei Changqing, joined the army at the age of sixteen and enjoyed the benefits of the imperial court. Now, 25 years have passed. Twenty-five years, it can be said that he has been a courtier for most of his life under the rule of the imperial court. Over the years, although I, Pei Changqing, have rarely had the opportunity to witness the face of the sky. But if you count it before and after, I can be regarded as an old minister who has experienced four sons of heaven.

And now, the Son of Heaven does not regard me as a southerner and despises me, and promotes me, a vulgar martial artist, to be the head of this Yuezhou Road. This hand, for me Pei Changqing, is definitely as kind as a mountain! Receiving this grace from heaven, but now he cannot refuse the thief and defend the land for the Son of Heaven, and there is really no greater sin than this.

Therefore, I, Pei Changqing, should defend this city to the death. So that the Yingzhou thief, look at the integrity of my Dayuan subjects! Pei Changqing said. And when the words came to this, they couldn't help but turn from sadness to passion. After speaking, he pulled out the saber at his waist and threw it angrily on the table in front of him.

However, this kind of excitement that would rather be broken than broken, and when he turned his gaze to his nephew Pei Song, he couldn't help but soften a lot.

"Song'er, I, Pei Changqing, have been favored by the emperor for a long time, and I have been a minister for most of my life. There's really no idea of changing the court. But Song'er, you are different, you are still young, and you still have a good youth. It is not necessary for me, an old man, to die among the thieves.

and thou art the only child in the house, if thou die. Shall not the blood and incense of my brother and your father be cut off by this? Pei Changqing looked at his beloved nephew, and said at this time, he couldn't help but say what he thought in his heart.

"Uncle, uncle, why do you say that. The Zhang Shihua outside the city is just a thief who coerces the mob to make trouble. This thief, who served as an inspector back then, was a minister but did not know loyalty. After making a mess, he regarded his uncle as a subordinate, which can be said to be for the son and did not know filial piety.

An unfaithful and unfilial thief like him Zhang Shihua, even if he has a slight upper hand for a short time, how can he last long. And think of me Baling City, there are nearly 20,000 armored athletes inside and outside the city. And there are tall and strong walls to lean on.

Therefore, as long as you can regain your strength, uncle, and unite the soldiers of my Baling City. So no matter how strong the black-clad thieves outside the city are, what do we have to be afraid of? Pei Song said this, and his tone was full of confidence.

However, his remarks, in the current situation, are obviously nonsense.

That's right, although Zhang Shihua did not occupy any righteous position from the perspective of the Yuan and Mongolian courts from the beginning of the army.

But you also have to know that today's imperial court is the Yuanmeng court ruled by a group of Tatars, not the Han dynasty under the rule of the Han people. Moreover, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yuan and Mongolian courts have been extremely discriminatory against Han and Nanren. Therefore, from the perspective of righteousness, the responsibility of the black-clothed thief is actually untenable at all.

After all, out of the pride of the Han people and the discrimination of the high-level leaders of the Yuan and Mongolian families, the people of the Huai River and the south of the Huai River, except for a very few people, few people will call themselves 'Yuan people'.

The righteousness did not occupy much, and the other words that Pei Song said were even more naïve and ridiculous.

Therefore, for Pei Song's words, Pei Changqing only sighed, and his expression was still depressed.

"Song'er, listen to your uncle's words and leave quickly. Don't leave this place empty and lose your life here. Pei Changqing, who looked depressed, waited until his nephew's nonsense words were finished, and was silent for a moment, but he still couldn't help but say so.

But Pei Song wanted to stay, since he had already said something like that. At this time, how could he be willing to flee alone, and leave his uncle, who raised him single-handedly, here.

So seeing that his uncle hadn't been able to change his mind because of his words, Pei Song couldn't help but reply with a solemn face: "I was brought up by you, uncle." Isn't your kindness to me as great as a mountain? Uncle, don't persuade anything. Song'er only wants to stay in this city with your uncle and kill the thieves. ”

"Bastard! You fool, why don't you listen to persuasion like this! Seeing that Pei Song was still doing his own thing, Pei Changqing was naturally furious.

It wasn't enough to slap the table like this and shout and scold, and he couldn't help but get up and raise his feet, and kicked Pei Song to the ground.

"I raised you bastard, are you going to repay me like this! Parents of the body, you are so reluctant to spare your life at a young age, how can you be filial! Pei Changqing, who was furious, pointed at Pei Song who was on the ground with a halberd. The end also has an angry face.

"Uncle!" Seeing this, Pei Song, who turned to the ground, couldn't help but feel more and more sad.

The boy did not dare to disobey his uncle. But uncle, you raised the child single-handedly, and with such a nurturing grace, if the child abandons his uncle and flees for his life at this juncture, it is really inhuman. Today, I only ask my uncle to keep the child by his side and do something for your uncle! ”

At this time, Pei Song was naturally also in tears. Kneeling on his knees, he refused to get up for a long time.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Pei Changqing couldn't help but sigh again. "Okay. But I didn't think that I, Pei Changqing, had raised such a loyal and righteous son. Child, get up. Our uncle and nephew will fight hard this time, and we will definitely make those black-clothed thieves who dare to commit crimes pay some price! ”

Pei Changqing said with a cold face. Because of his nephew, he cheered up a lot.

But even so, for the entire battle situation, Pei Changqing's personal emotional changes. But it did not have a decisive impact on the overall situation.

With the black-clad army's artillery bombardment, it showed its strength and ruthlessness when killing prisoners. With the short fermentation of time, by the evening of the second day, a large number of fugitives appeared inside and outside Baling City.

In the beginning, phenomena such as desertions were limited to ordinary soldiers and grassroots generals. But when fear spread like a plague among the defenders in and around Baling, the phenomenon of desertions intensified.

……

"Thief, where to escape!" In the northeast corner of Baling City, the lights suddenly brightened up in the dark night. At this time, looking at the sound and lights, a group of more than 100 people, all of whom were wearing cloth clothes, disguised themselves as a group of ordinary people's escapees, but they couldn't help but let Pei Song lead more than 200 loyal horsemen to surround a square.

"Little general, little general, don't do it, I'm Zhang Rong, I'm Zhang Rong!" These more than 100 people were blocked by the overseer team led by Pei Song, and they saw Pei Song and others preparing to ride their horses and rush to kill. In the panic in his heart, Zhang Rong, who was also an official of a thousand households, couldn't help but stand up from the crowd at this time.

"Oh, who should I be. But I didn't think that it was you, a thief, who wanted to be a fugitive! At the same time, there are thousands of households in the army, and the two naturally know each other.

However, although at the same time, thousands of officials are not fake, but Zhang Rong is also a middle-aged man who is only forty years old. In public, Pei Song, who was more than ten years younger than him, was often called a thief. I couldn't help but feel a little angry in my heart. But this little bit of anger, when he saw the cold and shiny weapon in Pei Song's hand, he was also clean in an instant.

So facing Pei Song, who was blocking their road, Zhang Rong couldn't help but salute him with a smile on his face in order to survive: "Little general, this time, I beg the little general to raise his noble hand and let me wait." As long as the little general can spare me and others, we are also willing to dedicate half of the wealth on our bodies to the little general. ”

"Oh, really?" Suddenly, hearing the words of Zhang Rong of Qianhu, Pei Song's originally cold face couldn't help but show a faint smile.

Therefore, seeing Pei Song like this, Zhang Rong couldn't help but be overjoyed. He couldn't help but take two steps forward, and saluted Pei Song again, who was riding on a war horse, "Of course." If the little general can raise his noble hand, it will really save my life.

In the face of such great graces, what is the value of some things outside the body? ”

"Hahahaha, okay! Since General Zhang said this, I am very pleased! But ......"

"But what?"

"But I like your head as a dog thief more than gold and silver!"

Phew, poof!! A neck blood rushed to the sky, and at the same time, there was a good head.
