Chai Sang, looking at the Jiangdong soldiers outside the city who finally receded like a tide, Chen Lan threw away the ring-headed broadsword in his hand that had been knocked out of several gaps, and the whole person collapsed against the female wall and gasped for breath, his bloodstained face was full of exhaustion.

"How? General Chen, can you still stand up? Xu Sheng came to Chen Lan and said with a worried expression.

Chen Lan looked up at the sky, let the drizzle fall on his face, and said blankly: "It's been three days, and the Jiangdong Army's offensive is becoming more and more fierce day by day, Wen Xiang, you say we ...... Can you really keep Chaisang? ”

Xu Sheng sat next to Chen Lan with a butt, greedily took a breath of cool air with a hint of blood, and said with a wry smile: "If you can defend it, if you can't keep it, you have to keep it, I believe that at this time, the governor has received our urgent letter, maybe soon, my Jinfan's reinforcements will arrive." ”

Chen Lan was obviously not as optimistic as Xu Sheng: "The governor has led the army north to join the main guild before, maybe when he receives the news, the army has already passed Wanling, even if he immediately leads the troops back to help, there are no three days, and he will definitely not be able to reach Chaisang!" ”

Xu Sheng was silent, three days was just the time it took for Gan Ning to bring the army back, plus it would take one or two days for the messenger to deliver the news, adding up, how could it take five days, right? However, now that only three days have passed, more than half of Chaisang's Jinfan soldiers have been killed and wounded, so far, Chaisang's remaining soldiers and horses are less than two thousand, and everyone is wounded, all of them are tired, in this case, can they really survive the Jiangdong Army's attack for two consecutive days?

Xu Sheng's expression was gloomy, and he said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, it's me who has caused the general, if it weren't for my negligence, how could Chai Sang have this catastrophe?" ”

Four days ago, Xu Sheng carelessly, was just incorporated into the family private soldiers secretly opened the city gate, eight thousand Jiangdong army homeopathic into the city, Xu Sheng was defeated, the sea dusk fell, in the end, Xu Sheng only with more than 1,000 remnants of the army retreated to Liling, but the city wall of Liling is low, not even a moat, Xu Sheng knew that he could not defend, simply gave up Liling, directly returned to Chaisang, and this, also made the Jiangdong army all the way unimpeded soldiers to Chaisang City.

Chen Lan shook her head and said: "You don't need to apologize to me, it is my duty to guard Chai Sang, the sea is lost, the responsibility is indeed yours, but if Chai Sang is lost, it is my fault, when the time comes, I will take the initiative to ask the governor and the lord for guilt!" ”

Chen Lan's answer made Xu Sheng even more ashamed, he got up again, holding on to the female wall, Xu Sheng looked at the Jiangdong soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield outside the city with deep eyes, and his resolute face couldn't help but rise up with a touch of determination: "I have retreated twice in a row before, this time, I will not retreat again, no matter what, I will live and die with Chaisang City, the city is in the people, the city is dead!" ”

"Wen Xiang, you said this, but how do you let me deal with myself?" Chen Lan then stood up, looked at Xu Sheng, who looked embarrassed, patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't mean to blame you, although I don't want to die, I won't give up Chai Sang lightly, won't it take two or three days?" Gritted my teeth and survived, as long as I can hold out until the governor returns, when the time comes, it will be our turn to launch a counteroffensive against the Jiangdong Army! ”

"Newspaper—"

Suddenly, with a shout, a soldier panted and ran up the city wall, and reported: "General Qiyu, the governor has a letter!" ”

"Letter from the Governor!?" Chen Lan was overjoyed after being taken aback, snatched the letter from the soldier's hand, and quickly checked it.

"Hah!" After a while, Chen Lan let out a long sigh, handed the letter to Xu Sheng, who had already seen through the autumn water, and said with a smile, "Wen Xiang, it seems that you don't have to die in the city, it's really immortal my chaisang!" ”

The content described in the letter is very different from Chen Lan and Xu Sheng's previous judgment, Gan Ning has actually led the army south before this, and when the messenger delivered the news, the Jinfan army had already arrived in Yixian, so Gan Ning's return time was much faster than they imagined, and the army had already arrived at Hukou, if nothing else, it would be officially stationed in Chaisang tonight.

——————————————————————

At that time, it was late at night, and the people of Chaisang had rested early, Chen Lan and Xu Sheng led their troops to the east of the city, secretly opened the water gate, and a large fleet sailed into Chaisang City quietly.

Gan Ning and Lu Su led the troops to disembark, Chen Lan and Xu Sheng hurriedly greeted them, and saluted: "The last general, Chen Lan (Xu Sheng), see the governor, see the military division!" ”

"Alright, let's excuse me!" Gan Ning waved his hand, glanced at the two of them lightly, and asked, "How is the situation in Chaisang City?" ”

Chen Lan took a deep breath and said with a solemn face: "Back to the capital, the Jiangdong army has attacked for three consecutive days, and my Jinfan has suffered heavy losses, and there are less than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the city now!" ”

Xu Sheng knelt down in front of Gan Ning with a 'poof', and said with grief: "Governor, the last general will not investigate for a while, so that he even lost the two cities of Haidusk and Liling, he really deserves death, and I implore the governor to punish him heavily!" ”

Gan Ning ignored Xu Sheng, let him kneel there, and continued to ask Chen Landao: "What about Jiangdongjun?" How many soldiers are left? ”

Chen Lan replied: "As the besieging side of the Jiangdong Army, the lost soldiers and horses must be above my Jinfan, and there are almost 5,000 soldiers left!" ”

"Five thousand?" Gan Ning muttered, looked down at Xu Sheng, who was already in tears, and felt a faint trace of unbearability in his heart, and sighed, "Get up, this time and give you a chance to atone for your sins, tonight I want to attack the Jiangdong camp at night, and you will lead a thousand soldiers as the front army. ”

Xu Sheng kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Governor!" ”

In the Jiangdong battalion, the main general Sun Benzheng and his cousin Sun Wei discussed the military aircraft in the tent.

Sun Wei said: "Brother, how can you conclude that the Jiangdong Army will attack the camp tonight?" ”

Sun Ben said confidently: "Now there are not many Chaisang soldiers left, if you just defend to the death, you will definitely lose, rather than so, it is better to take a risk, although I don't know if the enemy commander has the courage to do so, but just in case, we must be strictly vigilant!" ”

Sun Wei smiled and said, "It seems that my brother really wants the enemy army to attack the camp?" ”

Sun Ben said: "Of course, if the other party keeps defending, I Jiangdong will still need to pay a lot of casualties if I want to take Chaisang, but if the other party attacks the camp, maybe we can take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill Chaisang!" ”

Sun Wei got up and said, "In this way, the little brother will go down and make arrangements!" ”

Sun Ben reminded: "Remember to send soldiers to patrol normally, and don't let the other party see the flaws!" ”

Sun Wei nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry, little brother can save it!" (To be continued.) )
