Siege battles are difficult, and this is what history has summed up.

Many people long for victory, but before they can win, they lose their lives, leaving only regrets. If anyone is particularly enthusiastic about such a tragic battle, the only one left is the general who leads the troops.

They only need to sit in the rear and wait for the warriors to climb the tower and raise their arms and shout, which is an immortal achievement, especially the occupation of a world-famous city like Bianjing.

The withering of ten thousand bones is only for one success.

In this case, it is sad to ask for help. Even if you get the final victory, it will be greatly discounted because of the word "ask for help", and you will have to share the fruits of victory with others.

Zhan Wushuang didn't feel pathetic, he just wanted to break through the city tower and kill Tang An with his own hands, everything else was outside his body.

Speaking of which, he would rather take risks at the expense of the reputation of the war's "generational loyalty" for two reasons.

First, he didn't want to have no successor.

One family and three generals, all loyal and good for generations, how loud it sounds! It's ridiculous that the world only sees the grace of the imperial court, and sees the Zhanjia Guangzong Yao's ancestor as a very popular minister, but they can't see the terrible cry of the whole house when the loyal soul is buried in a foreign country, and they can't see a cold tombstone in the cemetery that doesn't even have a corpse.

The Zhan family used to be prosperous, the mother and son were filial piety, the brothers were harmonious, and the family was happy. But in an era that is not peaceful, after the mother bids farewell to her son who went on the expedition, what she is waiting for is bad news without exception.

Until now, his grandfather has not escaped the curse of fate, and he will always sleep in the land he guards. All the loyal and good families died on the battlefield, and he and his father became the only remaining men in the family.

In order to achieve the Qin family's grand wish to dominate the world, is it worth it to lose an entire family of loyal and patriotic generals?

On this question, he and Zhan Lingyun's answers must be the opposite.

In his opinion, it's not worth it!

He doesn't want to give up everything for a distant ideal, he wants glory, but he doesn't want to lie under the tombstone and accept the memory of the world.

But that's not the main reason.

More important than preserving the bloodline is that his heart no longer belongs to him. There was a woman who had already lived deep in his heart, infatuated him, intoxicated him, and made him fall into hell willingly.

Every time I see her dancing body, Zhan Wushuang is always in love. She is like the soft sunshine, like the warm rain and dew, moistening her parched heart.

When her smile always lingered in his mind, he knew that she was a dream worth pursuing for a lifetime.

But Tang An's appearance shattered this dream.

The dream of family and country, the dream of beauty, it is difficult to realize a good dream.

While he was immersed in an endless loss, he met the Far Away Voyage to the East.

It's like a straw found by a drowning man, which gives Zhan Wushuang a breath of fresh air again, and also gives him hope to pick up his old dreams.

For the sake of this dream, what is the point of asking for help? As long as he can kill Tang An and recapture Liu Qinge, he will not hesitate to let everyone under his command die!

It is gratifying that the battles at the other city gates have also fallen into a stalemate, and at this time, Zhan Wushuang made a military order: Give me another 10,000 soldiers and horses, and I will break the Bianjing City!

The battle that received reinforcements greatly increased. No matter how easy he is to be emotionally affected, in the final analysis, he is also a general who has led troops abroad for many years. Even without the urging of the military order, he found that the situation was developing more and more unfavorably for him.

Dongfang Yuanxing was forced to raise troops in a hurry in desperation, and happened to encounter the coldest season. Most of the southern soldiers were not accustomed to the water and soil, and they shivered in tents that could barely shelter from the wind and frost. Many of them were killed by soldiers, and their bodies were so weak that their combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

To add insult to injury, bad news came from the rear: a surprise soldier of the Donglingwei had cut off the rebels' beam road. At night, soldiers could be heard complaining about the thinner and thinner porridge in their bowls.

If you want to live, if you want to kill Tang An, if you want to become famous, you can hold the beauty, there is only one way to go-

Kill into the city!

He did not hide his subordinates, and the agitation of the people who were close to the bottom of the boat finally made the people whose morale was close to the bottom shine again.

If you don't get in, there is only one dead end left. When people are cornered, the will to survive is particularly amazing.

Watching the enemy pounce as if he had taken a stimulant, the defenders were like a rainbow and paid a lot of price.

For several days, although they barely managed to defend the city gates, the defenders became more and more tired and depressed.

Their losses have been more than half, and the Avengers, although they are the elite of the elite, have also paid a quarter of the price.

Tang An's heart was dripping blood.

But no matter how distressed he is, he always shows a calm and breezy appearance in front of people. The pressured forbidden army can no longer withstand a single blow, and his calmness may be a ray of sunshine in the endless haze.

But his sorrow, people who should know will still know, such as Chen Buping, such as Ji Chen.

The Avengers are his troops who escaped death with one hand, they have gone through thousands of difficulties and dangers, and they can grit their teeth all the way through the crisis-ridden Xia Kingdom, but one brother after another died at the hands of their own people.

When night fell, Tang An, who returned to the tent, took off his disguise and wept silently.

"Your Excellency!"

Ji Chen, who suddenly broke into the tent, happened to see this scene, and the whole person was slightly stunned. He saw Tang Antong's red eyes, this unprecedented picture made Ji Chen's heart seem to be choked by something, and he couldn't say a word.

Tang An wiped his face and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, nothing...... We're running out of arrows......"

"Running out?" Tang An stood up and took a deep breath: "When it's used up, we don't need arrows." ”

Without arrows? Do you want to fill it with your life?

Ji Chen's face turned bitter and said, "Big brother, this Bianjing City... Can it still be held? ”

"Whatever the outcome, at least we tried, didn't we?" Tang An smiled slightly and patted Ji Chen's shoulder. "A lot of people are already dead, and a lot of people are going to die soon. But we have to realize one thing: if the rebels win, the Tang Dynasty will be finished; When the Tang Dynasty is over, more people will die. And what we do is to keep more people alive. ”

Ji Chen was in awe and said, "With the words of the eldest brother, although Ji Chen has no regrets!" ”

********************************

Seeing off Ji Chen, Tang An lay on the plank bed and couldn't sleep.

In the era of war and chaos, human life is like a mustard. The war, which the people hate so much, is a power game in the eyes of those in power, and generations have enjoyed it.

It made him hate and make him sad.

He has already had the experience of brushing shoulders with death, and he just wants to live a chic and freehand life when he is reincarnated. He didn't use too many insights from later generations to try to change the world, he just wanted to quietly integrate into it and live a happy life.

But I don't know if I was lucky or unlucky, he was still caught up in the torrent of competition for fame and fortune. He is now not only living for himself, but for the survival of tens of millions of people.

But who understands?

He sighed deeply and closed his eyes a little greedily. Perhaps in his sleep, he will accidentally get a moment of peace in an illusory pure land.

Sadly, tranquility was not destined to belong to him.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he heard a faint sound.

The war was so urgent, and at any time he could receive news of a sneak attack by the enemy, Tang An, who was walking on thin ice, immediately woke up and sat up suddenly.

His judgment was not wrong, and there were indeed people who entered his camp. In the dim candlelight, he clearly saw the outline of a woman.
