56, the smoke rises again

Four iron gates will be deeply blocked in the urn city, looking at the cold iron gates, Xu Sheng sighed in his heart, these iron gates not only isolate the defenders outside the city, but also declare that the once powerful Youzhou army no longer exists, a few iron gates, so that Xu Sheng sighed in his heart, once upon a time, the iron-blooded strong army that fought the border chaos people did not dare to be presumptuous can only use this way to preserve the most reluctant trace of dignity, perhaps, it is really lonely.

Tian Kai's face was a little pale, as Xu Sheng thought, as a veteran who had witnessed the peak moment of the Youzhou Army, he felt more deeply than Xu Sheng, back then, only fifteen or sixteen years old, he followed Gongsun Chan with a halberd on his back, at that time, the Youzhou Army was united, dared to fight without fear, and moved forward bravely, a few inferior knives and guns, a few old horses, dozens of people dared to charge thousands of Hu horses, speaking of the Youzhou Army, the Han people, who is not a good man with a thumbs up. But now, several years of civil strife, the entire Youzhou population withered, production is low, the people are miserable, many veterans died in civil strife, that spirit has long been dispersed, the soldiers who really dare to fight, there are still a few left, these, Tian Kai in his eyes, back then, the veteran who followed Gongsun Zhan, died, walked away, and in the end, the powerful Youzhou army, collapsed, after a few years ago the battle of the boundary bridge and many civil wars, the loss of veterans is very amazing, ten do not survive, and later some veterans who are disgusted with the civil war have also fled, As a result, most of the current Youzhou Army are some compulsory recruits, although they have also experienced battlefield battles, but compared with the soldiers of the Youzhou Army in previous years, it is more than a little bit worse, this strong contrast makes Tian Kai's heart very uncomfortable, compared to Xu Sheng and other newcomers who joined the Youzhou Army in the later period, that kind of heartache is something he can't understand, and his light sigh and Tian Kai's heartache are completely different concepts.

"The Supreme People's Procuratorate, the pass will be ordered, and all ministries will count the surviving people and guard everywhere in case there is a change." Tian Kai said in a slightly tired tone.

When the high prosecutor heard this, he glanced at Tian Kai, worried in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, nodded and turned to leave, conveying Tian Kai's order.

"Wen Xiang."

Xu Sheng walked up, hugged his fists and said, "The last will be." ”

"Can Zirong's body be recovered?" Tian Kai said in a deep voice.

Xu Rong nodded slightly, waved his hand, and the two soldiers walked over with a corpse, which was covered with a black cloth that I didn't know where to go, except for the pair of combat boots exposed, I couldn't see the real face.

The black cloth was not lifted, but Tian Kai's body was shocked, and he walked up with heavy steps, gently lifted the black cloth, the sadness in his eyes lingered, and there was no time to sew Tian Shan's skull on, and the blood-stained head was placed in the heart of the corpse, and the whole face was covered with blood, and a deep and narrow knife edge was already difficult to see.

"Zirong." Tian Kai let out a mournful roar and hugged Tian Shan's head into his arms.

"Please mourn too much." Seeing Tian Kai so sad, Xu Sheng really didn't know what to say, so he had to hold back this comforting word.

Tian Kai is not an ordinary person after all, he is sad in his heart, but he also knows that now is not the time, he put down Tian Shan's head, and said in a low voice: "After Zirong's body is restored, wait to kill and retreat the enemy army, and then hold a funeral for him." ”

"Whoa." Xu Sheng nodded, summoned the soldiers, gave a few orders, and ordered someone to dispose of Tian Shan's corpse clearly.

After Xu Sheng made the arrangements, Tian Kai's expression turned cold, and he said coldly: "Go, accompany me to the arrow tower." “

Hearing this, Xu Sheng nodded, and followed Tian Kai towards the arrow tower, the two sides of the urn city are connected with the city wall, and there are several towering arrow towers, which can shoot the enemy condescendingly, and it is also a very advantageous observation point.

Tian Kai took a few generals and looked high, but saw that the city gate had been controlled by the enemy, tens of thousands of soldiers of the tiger and wolf army lined up to look directly, and thousands of defenders who were rejected from the iron gate had abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and were guarded by a tiger and wolf army, hanging their heads and sitting on the ground sluggishly.

"A bunch of soft eggs." One of the generals scolded angrily.

Tian Kai looked at it coldly, and the general felt a chill in his heart, and shrunk his neck a little timidly, not daring to speak again.

Tian Kai did not blame the thousands of soldiers who surrendered in his heart, he was sorry for them, and they chose to surrender in his expectation, Tian Kai is not the kind of tyrannical and unreasonable leader, comparing his heart to his heart, it was his abandonment that caused the thousands of soldiers to be surrounded, and surrender was only for the sake of his life, nothing is more important than living.

"I hope you understand that they are the most elite soldiers of the Youzhou Army, and the reason why they surrendered is also helpless, I don't want to hear the same words again." Tian Kai said coldly.

"Yes." Seeing Tian Kai's gloomy face, all the generals turned grim and hugged their fists.

"Li Sheng, do you have a reply from the light horsemen who scattered out?" After a moment of silence, Tian Kai asked.

Among the several generals surrounding Tian Kai, a thin general with a gloomy face came out and said: "Back to Taishou, there is no news yet." ”

"Was it hunted by enemy scouts?" Xu Sheng frowned.

Li Sheng nodded, nodded and said, "I can't rule out this possibility, after all, the falcon of the Tiger Wolf Fierce Army is a well-known hunting team." ”

Tian Kai nodded slightly, but didn't say anything.

Seeing that Tian Kai didn't say anything, Li Sheng was a little uncontrollable: "Taishou, do you want to send light cavalry to urge reinforcements again?" ”

"No" Tian Kai waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter, the official has his own arrangements." ”

"No." Although Li Sheng was puzzled in his heart, he didn't say much.

"Pay close attention to the enemy's movements, and if there is an abnormality, you must react as quickly as possible." Tian Kai said in a deep voice.

Behind him, General Xu Shengzhong heard the words and nodded, his face solemn.

seemed to think of something, but saw Tian Kai frowning slightly, and said again: "By the way, the big families in the market must not relax their vigilance, Li Sheng, all the sentry riders under your command are sent out, and they will also pay close attention." ”

"Whoa." Li Sheng nodded when he heard this.

"Coming" But at this moment, there was a sound of neat footsteps, and a black cloud rushed towards the urn city.

The faces of all the generals on the arrow tower changed slightly, the strength of the tiger and wolf army, they all deeply understood, seeing tens of thousands of tiger and wolf army surging up, that powerful power made them tremble a little in their hearts.

Under the city, Yuan Shang waved his hand, and the trebuchet was pushed out again, Tian Kai made the city of Fuyang into an almost copper wall, and the four iron gates fell down with a bang, and indeed succeeded in blocking him outside the urn city, however, this does not mean that the city of Fuyang is unbreakable, the trebuchet keeps bombarding, no matter how strong the iron gate is, it is also possible to loosen it, after all, hundreds of boulders bombard again and again, no matter how strong the fortress is, a hole will be smashed out, not to mention, Yuan Shang is not only a trebuchet, the penetration ability of the strong ballista is also very good, Yuan Shang really didn't believe that he couldn't take a small frustrated city.
