The soldiers defending the city head suffered more and more casualties, and the entire city wall was stained red with blood, but the city head was always in the hands of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the enemy army also paid huge casualties, but did not get anything they wanted.

The bloody battle between the enemy and us continued for a while, but Hua An's pro-military camp was suppressed by Han Qian and refused to let him fight, which made Hua An and several brothers beside him, and even the soldiers of the entire pro-military battalion a little unbearable.

It is no wonder that the pro-soldier battalion, as the most elite force of the Northern Expeditionary Army, was left aside at this critical moment when the enemy army was attacking the city on a large scale, and no one would be able to figure it out.

"Big brother, it's all turned upside down outside, why doesn't the Lord General let us fight, it's really uncomfortable to hold back in this room." The thunderstorm paced back and forth in the room, apparently unable to hold back.

"That's it, isn't this underestimating us, I haven't cut people for many days with this big axe in my hand." Iron Bull is even more impatient.

Although Zhao Wu didn't say anything, he kept wiping the spear in his hand, obviously ready to fight at any time.

"Big brother, go and talk to the Lord! Look at a few of them in a hurry. "Wang San is not too anxious, but he also hopes that the pro-military camp can fight.

"That is, go and talk to the Lord." Thunderstorm and Iron Bull hurriedly echoed.

Hua An stood up, glanced at the four of them, and said indifferently: "I haven't seen the hares for a long time, and I don't know if these rabbit cubs are fat or thin." ”

After speaking, under the surprised gaze of the four people, they walked indifferently to the yard where the hare was kept in captivity.

"When is this, big brother still has the heart to feed the rabbits." Behind him came the grumbling of the Iron Bull.

Hua An walked into the yard where the hares were fed, and saw that there was only one soldier feeding the rabbits in the huge yard, so he asked curiously, "Why are you the only one, and how many others are there?" ”

Seeing Hua An's question, the soldier hurriedly replied: "Brigade commander, the enemy is attacking the city, and several of them are clamoring to fight, how can they still have the heart to come here to feed the rabbits." ”

"Oh, then why are you here?" Hua An said curiously.

The soldier replied truthfully: "It was the brigade commander who asked us to feed these hares, and I am afraid that if we don't feed them, these hares will starve to death, and then we will not complete the task assigned to us by the brigade commander." ”

What a simple and sincere answer, Hua An nodded with a smile and asked, "Don't you think about going into battle immediately and killing the enemy to make meritorious contributions, like them?" ”

"I don't really want to." After the soldier finished speaking, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly changed his words: "Brigade commander, I have an elderly father and mother at home who need to be supported, so I want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but I don't want to lose my life." ”

After the soldier finished speaking, he was afraid of Hua'an's joke, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Such true, unadorned words are what Hua An likes the most, and besides, what he says is also the heart of every soldier, even Hua An is no exception.

"That's right, I want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but I can't lose my life, I think so too." Hua An said and patted the soldier's shoulder.

"Brigade commander, I'm ......" the soldier stopped talking.

Hua An could see that he was very excited, and said indifferently: "If you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, without losing your life, there is only one way, and that is to practice the ability to kill the enemy. ”

"Brigade commander, I remember." The soldier nodded happily.

Hua An smiled indifferently, picked up a bunch of fresh grass, and said softly: "Then feed, they won't come, I'll accompany you to feed the rabbits." ”

After saying that, he bent down and fed the rabbit seriously.

Looking at the rabbit who was eating grass seriously, Hua An's mood calmed down a lot, he understood that Han Qian only did not let the pro-military battalion fight, there must be his reason, the two armies fought fiercely, and the pro-military battalion was this new force, as long as the front was needed, Hua'an would let the pro-military battalion fight at any time.

Three days passed, and the fighting between the enemy and us became more and more fierce, so to speak, it has entered the white-hot stage, the semicircular trench dug outside the city gate has long been filled with corpses, and the raised drawbridge has long been smashed by the enemy's catapults.

The enemy's chariot ran over the corpse and smashed open the city gate many times, and if the Northern Expeditionary Army had not built a small urn city inside the city gate, the city would probably have been lost.

Most of the women's walls on the walls were also smashed by enemy catapults, but in between battles, the soldiers defending the city repaired and strengthened the broken women's walls, and the repaired positions were stronger than the original.

The soldiers suffered thousands of casualties and hundreds of casualties every day, but all the officers and men of the Northern Expeditionary Army gritted their teeth and insisted that as long as the commander did not give orders, they would never retreat.

In the past three days, Hua An and many officers in the pro-military battalion tried their best to ask Han Qian for battle, but Han Qian refused Hua An and the others on the grounds that it was not yet the last moment.

In fact, Hua'an understood that the pro-soldier battalion was the last strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and once it was put into the city, it meant that the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army had been exhausted, and there were no more troops available for reinforcements.

At this time, the soldiers who are resisting the enemy army at the head of the city, as long as they think of such a new force as the pro-soldier battalion behind them, there will always be a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

However, the military rations in the city can only maintain the consumption of the army for seven or eight days, and the grain route is blocked, so it is impossible to be effectively replenished for a while, and the two main forces of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Yangzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army, have no news at all.

If they continue to hold on like this, they will run out of food after seven or eight days, and at that time, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army must abandon Yinling City and quickly retreat to Dongcheng.

But after a tragic bloody battle, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties and many wounded soldiers, and these wounded soldiers were unable to move, how could they avoid the pursuit of the Peach Leopard cavalry on the way to retreat.

I am afraid that most of the men and horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army will not be able to retreat into Dongcheng along the way, but will be chased and killed by Peach Leopard on the way to retreat, and the 20,000 army will definitely suffer heavy losses.

Thinking of this, Hua Anxin couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, many things could not be changed by him alone.

In order to calm his mind, Hua'an went to the yard to feed the hares, and in the yard, as usual, it was the honest soldier who was feeding the hares alone.

"Brigade marshal, we're here to feed the rabbits again." Seeing Hua'an coming, the soldier hurriedly greeted him.

"Hmm." Hua An was in a bad mood, so he just hummed softly.

Seeing that Hua'an was in a bad mood, the soldier thought that it must be for the current war, so he asked: "Brigade commander, are you worried about the war?" ”

"Yes! We only have seven or eight days left to eat, and soon the hares here will become in the womb of you and me. Hua An's words were a little unbearable.

The soldier nodded when he heard this, and looked at Hua An with a look of wanting to say something.

"Just say what you want, don't be inhibited." Hua An asked bluntly.
