Just as a grand concert was played to the highest court, but suddenly stopped, this attack, when it was about to reach a white heat, had to be terminated because of this autumn rain. This late autumn rain hits people, and the chill can penetrate directly into the bones, making people can't help but shiver.

Although these rebels plundered a large amount of supplies from Anlu, the total amount of supplies was still seriously insufficient, and although the merchants brought in some of the ordnance and medicine they urgently needed, the prices were also frighteningly high.

In order to pay for these goods, the rebels' own materials were squeezed to a bottom, and the clothes on their bodies could not withstand such a cold rain at all. When it rains, it is not conducive to the attacker to attack, not to mention that now that he is hit by the rain, the whole person is trembling there, not to mention the combat effectiveness. No matter how much the rebels want to make a final decision, but when God is not beautiful, they can only hastily withdraw their troops.

However, because the rebels controlled the entire battlefield, they collected their troops calmly, and even pulled out the arrows from the dead bodies to recover them. It's just that the rebels lack good bows, and it is difficult to use these heavy arrows when they are recovered. The defenders, on the other hand, seized this rare time to enjoy the hot meals and soup delivered by the gang, treat the wounded, and collect the corpses.

In this battle, the defenders had nearly 200 killed alone. For the number of defenders, it is already an unbearable loss. The besieging side may have died more, but the defenders don't have time to think about it now, they just know that they can't afford to suffer a few more casualties.

In almost every section of the garrison, people came to ask for reinforcements, and the bigger problem was the supplies than the troops. There are few powerful defensive weapons left of the 10,000-strong enemy. And the tactic of throwing empty barrels has also lost its deterrent effect, and those rebels have just charged with their heads down, regardless of whether you are an empty barrel or a real enemy.

In the battle the night before yesterday, the enemy used too much, although the craftsmen of the palace stepped up the production, but the materials were limited, and the speed could not be increased indefinitely, so the total number was still pitiful. In addition to these things, such as arrows, rolling logs, and stones, there are not many stocks, including gunpowder, which are not too sufficient.

Water and oil are not a problem, but it takes time to boil that thing, and under such a high-density blow from the rebels, everyone is afraid that they will not have time to turn cold water into boiling water. Yang Chengzu said:

"Let everyone have a number in their hearts, this battle cannot be solved by firearms or some 10,000-strong enemy, and in the end, it will be done one by one, face to face. If the rebel army kills the city, we will defend the city, and when the rebel army enters the house, we will defend the house, in short, behind us is our own family, and everyone has nothing to retreat. Don't complain to me about anything, just kill a few more people before you die. ”

Taking advantage of the rainy situation, Yang Chengzu ate a few bites of food indiscriminately, and went to the rear worker to see Niangniang. The most important thing in the entire palace is the inner dormitory, and if something goes wrong here, there will be no point in fighting elsewhere. He also had the heaviest arrangement on this side, and when the defenders in other places were in serious distress, the rear workers even retained a reserve of 200 men.

The sergeant sent here is not the strongest physically, nor is he skilled in martial arts, but the most obedient and obedient to orders selected by Yang Chengzu. During the whole battle, these people never complained, nor did they give him any urgent orders, but they used the method of repeated white charges to kill the attacking enemy again and again.

The officer named Li Zongyun who led the army was not very old, just in his early twenties, he was a military household in Xingwang Grange, he joined the army and was promoted to the guard of honor, and was promoted to the staff of the guard. He had a few wounds on his body, but they were only hastily bandaged, and they didn't take it seriously. When he saw Yang Chengzu coming, he just puffed up his chest proudly, "Where Li Zongyun is in charge, there will never be a problem." ”

In Fengxiang Palace, all the important people in the palace are now concentrated here. The daughter of the Yang family was also recruited by the princess and was fortunate to enter the Fengxiang Palace to accompany her. There is a difference between men and women, the prince was not present, saying that he was resting in the back, and the two county lords, the princess and the lady, etc., were all staying here. Seeing Yang Chengzu's bloody and tired face, Concubine Jiang's nose was sour.

She waved her hand, and everyone retreated, and only the two of them were left in the East Pavilion. Gently pulled Yang Chengzu up and let him sit in front of him, Concubine Jiang carefully looked at his face, and actually took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his face for him.

Yang Chengzu hurriedly knelt down, but was stopped by Concubine Jiang.

"Chengzu, the palace has been able to hold on until now, thanks to you. Speaking of which, you are just a little hairy man in his twenties, and if you say that you are the son of the mourning family, there is nothing inappropriate, so when there are only you and me, just be casual. You can take me...... Treat it like your mother. Actually, I get along very well with your mother, and there is nothing wrong with saying that you are my son. ”

"...... In fact, in the minister's heart, I have always felt that you are like my mother. Ever since you first entered the palace, the minister has felt that you are like the minister's mother. It's just that the identity of the minister is different from that of the princess, and such words can only be thought about in my heart, where can I dare to say it......"

"You stupid boy, what can't you say? Lu Bing and you, in my eyes, are my sons. Concubine Jiang wiped the blood on Yang Chengzu's face with a handkerchief, and said lovingly: "You have made a lot of women outside and brought them to the mansion, don't you know that you should be a mourner?" Just one Miao family can change your future, but the mother will always indulge her son, so the mourning family not only ignores it, but also helps you make the decision, don't you understand? But in the future, you must also be careful, don't be so foolish anymore, otherwise the mourning family will be angry, not as a princess, but as a mother. ”

"Erchen understands. In the future, I will behave in a proper manner and dare not cause trouble. ”

"It's good to understand, when there are only two of us in the future, you don't need so many courtesies, just take the mourning family as your mother, just like your Liu Niang. The current situation, I heard that it is very bad, and you have never forgotten what the mourning family entrusted you. ”

"...... No, mother. You believe me, the situation is not bad enough, we must pass this level, I will listen to you in the future, I will not lose. You are the lord of this house, you must be able to hold the field, if you have no confidence, then this battle really does not have to be fought. ”

Concubine Jiang sighed, "I understand, in the last battle, you actually wanted to make the mourning family feel at ease, I know it." I'm not an excellent woman, I don't have any skills, I can only live a peaceful life, and when I encounter this kind of thing, I have no way to think about it. But for the sake of the prince, for the sake of the prince, and for the people of this house, even if I pretend, I will pretend to be confident. In fact, in this Fengxiang Palace, I have already arranged people, if the chaotic army really kills here, I will let everyone go on the road together, and there will be no shame alive. Child, you just let go of your hands and feet to do it, no matter how much money you use, how much land you use, the mourning family will support you. If you can keep it, it is peace in the world, if you can't keep it, you will take the son of the world away, and we will not blame you. ”
