Chapter 296: After the War

The war was brutal and unusual, several hours of fighting, on the walls of Xuchang and covered with blood. From a distance, the entire Xuchang City exuded a somewhat evil blood-red light. Under the city walls, Lu Bu's soldiers were densely covered. It was like a scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and people couldn't help but feel creepy when they looked at it.

But in such an environment, the walls of Xuchang City are still fighting desperately. I don't know how many times Lu Bu's army attacked the city wall of Xuchang, and I don't know how many times it was beaten down by Cao's army. Anyway, all the wars revolved around the walls of Xuchang City, and Lu Bu's army attacked the walls of Xuchang City several times, and Cao's army beat Cao's army several times.

In the Lu Bu military camp under the city, Chen Gong looked at the time and the proportion of casualties, turned his head and said to Lu Bu behind him: "Wen Hou, today's offensive will stop here." ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu was somewhat dissatisfied, but he didn't know if he was dissatisfied with Chen Gong or dissatisfied with not capturing Xuchang City. However, Lu Bu did not give an order immediately, but waited for a while, and saw that there was still no much progress on the city wall, so Lu Bu ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

With the withdrawal of Lu Bu's troops, the defenders of Cao's army sat on the city wall one by one exhausted. Several hours of fighting and draining everyone's physical strength. The reason why they can still fight is because of a kind of New Year in their hearts.

Looking at the exhausted soldiers, Zhao Fei felt a lot of unbearable feelings. I had long known that today's war would be very difficult, but the degree of hardship gave Zhao Fei a headache. Today alone, Zhao Fei sent two reinforcements, which made the already small number of soldiers in the city even less sufficient. In the end, Zhao Fei could only listen to Xun Yu's suggestion and began to recruit ordinary young adults as backups.

However, Zhao Fei is very optimistic about these temporary backs who have never been on the battlefield or used weapons to kill. In such a tragic war, such a soldier is not even as good as cannon fodder. But the matter has come to this point, and Zhao Fei has no way, and there is only this way.

"The enemy army is withdrawn, Pengju is going to rest, here I am getting better." Upstairs at the city gate, Xun Yu said to Zhao Fei with a little tiredness.

Zhao Fei also turned his head to look at Xun Yu weakly, and then said, "Wen Ruo go and rest first, it's good to have me here." ”

Xun Yu smiled for a moment, and then said: "It's better for you to go, I won't worry about handing over the city defense to you." ”

Hearing Xun Yu say this, Zhao Fei could only nod. For the city defense, since Xun Yu is in charge of it alone, he really has no room to criticize it, so in the end, he can only go down and rest. However, before leaving, Zhao Fei told Xun Yu to replace Xun Yu after a while, and Xun Yu only nodded slightly, and then began to get busy.

Today's battlefield heralds the beginning of Xuchang's offensive and defense, and it can be met that after today, the offensive of Lu Bu's army will become more and more fierce. In the face of an increasingly brutal war, Zhao Fei couldn't help but feel a headache. In the absence of reinforcements, and without knowing when the reinforcements would arrive, Zhao Feizhen himself was a little helpless. He began to wonder, wondering how long he could hold out.

Awakening leisurely, Zhao Fei rubbed his slightly swollen head, and then left his mansion with Cai Yan and Yang's worried looks, and headed towards the gate of Xuchang City.

When he arrived at the city gate, Zhao Fei found Xun Yu, but found that Xun Yu was already asleep on the table at this time. Seeing this, Zhao Fei felt quite unbearable in his heart, and then took off a robe and gently draped it on Xun Yu's body, and then he took Dian Wei out slowly.

Walking slowly on the city wall of Xuchang City, the soldiers on the wall saw Zhao Fei coming, and they were all in good spirits. But even if they tried so hard to pretend that they were very energetic, the thick tiredness on their faces betrayed the essence of their hearts.

Seeing the soldiers one by one, Zhao Fei immediately felt that they were extremely cute. Zhao Fei shook his hand, and said as several soldiers spoke: "There is no need to be like this, I am not a wicked person, why do you want to see me like this." ”

After listening to Zhao Fei's words, the soldiers suddenly relaxed a lot, and some of them even showed a light smile.

Zhao Fei came to the soldiers and asked a very young soldier, "What is your name, how old are you, and why did you choose to join the army?" ”

The soldier scratched the back of his head a little shyly, and then said shyly: "Mr. Hui's words, I don't know what my name is, but everyone in the army calls me Abo." I'm 16 years old. I joined the army because I heard that the army could support itself. ”

Looking at the slightly immature cheeks, Zhao Fei was silent for a long time. For this hateful troubled world, Zhao Fei has long been powerless to evaluate anything. Sixteen years old is an age in the mood for love, but he began to kill people in the army at the age of sixteen, which makes people have to sigh the helplessness of the world.

"Where's your family?" Looking at the immature cheeks, Zhao Fei asked again.

Hearing Zhao Fei's question, the young soldier's face suddenly darkened, and then the young man spoke: "I starved to death in the early years. After the young man finished speaking, the hearts of the soldiers around him sank. If there is really a way to live, who will choose to join the army.

Although the treatment of the army is very good, but he has to face the threat of death. In today's battle, many comrades-in-arms left them, but their group of people still have to face an even more brutal war tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, which makes all the soldiers feel very uneasy.

Zhao Fei stared at the soldier for a moment, and then asked, "Have you ever thought about not joining the army?" ”

The young man smiled lightly, and then said with a little bitterness: "I don't have any skills, except as a soldier, I really can't think of anything to do to support myself." ”

After listening to the young man's words, Zhao Fei just wanted to say something, but then he endured it. I could have saved him, but what about the rest of the soldiers in the entire city wall. Is he the only one who is pitiful, and the others are not pitiful?

Perhaps seeing Zhao Fei's thoughts, the young man said to Zhao Fei with a chuckle: "Don't hide it, in fact, I like to join the army very much, and today I killed two enemy soldiers alone." When he said that he had killed two people in a row, the young man showed a hint of pride.

Seeing the young man say this, Zhao Fei felt a little fluctuating in his heart, and then Zhao Fei said, "Yes, I smiled at you." In this way, I still have a personal guard, do you want to serve it? ”

Hearing that Zhao Fei actually asked that soldier to be Zhao Fei's personal guard, the surrounding soldiers were all annoyed. To say that he killed a lot more than the young man, but he didn't promote himself earlier.

The young man was a little stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing that the young man did not speak, Zhao Fei asked.

"How so!" The young man said silently. In his opinion, becoming Zhao Fei's personal guard is a matter of one step to the sky. Although the soldiers had not seen Zhao Fei much, they had heard of his name a little. Being able to become Zhao Fei's personal guard is not only a superior status, but even the safety of his life has been guaranteed.

Zhao Fei came to the soldier's side, patted the soldier's shoulder lightly, and then said: "Abo's name is very difficult to remember, since you have become my personal guard, then I will give you the surname Zhao, and you will be called Zhao Bo in the future." ”

The soldier was immediately ecstatic, and then knelt down in front of Zhao Fei and kowtowed to Zhao Fei non-stop. After a few knocks, Zhao Bo began to cry.

"Okay, how can you be my personal guard!" Looking at Zhao Bo in front of him, Zhao Fei sighed with emotion. People in troubled times are very simple, as long as they are given a way to live, they will be very grateful to others, and even repay with their lives.

Seeing that Zhao Fei's face was not good, Zhao Bo hurriedly stood up. Then he wiped the tears from his cheeks and said firmly: "Don't worry, sir, I will not disappoint you." ”

At this time, Dian Wei, who was behind Zhao Fei, suddenly spoke: "Yes, he is a good soldier." ”

"In that case, I'll leave it to you, brother." Zhao Fei turned his head and said to Dian Wei. Then he got up and left, and continued to patrol the other places.

Zhao Fei inspected the circle and found that there were no hidden dangers, and then took people back to the city gate tower. Xun Yu's work is still worthy of being convincing to others, and it is obvious that he has only rested for this time, and Xun Yu has done a very good job of defending the city wall. After arriving at the city gate tower, Zhao Fei found that Xun Yu had woken up.

"Wen Ruo is going to rest, just leave it to me here." Looking at Xun Yu's slightly tired appearance, Zhao Fei opened his mouth and said to Xun Yu.

Xun Yu was not pretentious, but he felt unusually tired. handed over Zhao Fei's robe in his hand to Zhao Fei, and then Xun Yu said: "Since this is the case, then this place will be handed over to Yu Pengju." I'm really tired. ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Fei nodded and then spoke: "Wen Ruo is going to rest, you must know that you will face such a cruel battle in the past few days. If Wen Ruo falls ill, then the rest of me will not be able to stand the city gate. ”

Xun Yu smiled lightly, and then went down the city wall accompanied by several guards.

There was no word all night, and because Lu Bu's army also fought a high-intensity war yesterday, this made Lu Bu not go to attack Xuchang City at night. So this night was also peaceful. However, although Lu Bu did not attack Xuchang at night, Zhao Fei still did not sleep all night. Because he wants to think of a great opportunity to break the enemy in one fell swoop. But no matter how he deliberated on the map, Zhao Fei helplessly found that he really had no chance of winning.

In the end, Zhao Fei could only hope that Cao Cao could lead his troops back early.

Seeing that the sun was still in the sky, Zhao Fei was just about to get up and move his muscles, but when he got up, Zhao Fei suddenly felt that his head sank, and he almost fell to the ground. Dian Wei, who was also on the side, was quick and helped Zhao Fei.
