Ye Shenyu glanced at him strangely: "I want his territory, just ask for his food, what do you want his people to obey me?" ”

He wants his land and his food, but he does not want his men to obey...... People like Chongfeng always like to think deeply about everything, and as soon as he thought about it, he was shocked: Wouldn't that kill all the people who followed Shangguan Zhongyang?

How cruel, how tyrannical!

Ye Shenyu only saw that the face of the person he had snatched back suddenly turned pale, and he took two steps back, following her without saying a word. I don't know what's going on, but the world finally calms down.

Ye Shenyu was in a much better mood, sitting on the horse and emptying his mind, just waiting for the grain to be sent to Yuyang, and then to Huainan.

————————

Yuyang City.

The Qizhou army was camped ten miles away, and there were mountains and forests as a cover, and Gao Wenbin did not find anyone attacking the city at first. Until the early morning of the next day, a loud bang suddenly sounded at the city gate, and the city gate shook violently. The soldiers defending the city found that someone took advantage of the night to touch the city gate and hit the city gate with a huge log.

The new Shouzheng hurriedly ordered the arrows to be released, and sent people to inform Gao Wenbin and Gu Zhi that someone was attacking the city.

The enemy at the gate was soon killed by the arrows, but the next group immediately picked up and braved the rain of arrows to try to break through the gate.

When Gao Wenbin heard the news, he saw that the Qizhou army continued to come up as if he was not afraid of death. The gate that has just been repaired is not as good as the one intact, and Gao Wenbin can hear the squeaking of the city gate when he stands in the city tower.

If this continues, the city gate will be breached sooner or later, and Gao Wenbin immediately ordered to smash the boulder placed on the city wall. The boulder fell around the giant tree, and the Qizhou army couldn't move the boulder away for a while, so they set up a ladder to climb up.

It's an uphill battle. Whether it is for the Qizhou army or for the defenders of Yuyang. When night fell, the Qizhou army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and finally failed to break through the city gates.

And the defenders of Yuyang also suffered hundreds of casualties, and they almost ran out of bows and arrows. Gao Wenbin took advantage of the Qizhou army to collect troops, and asked people to go outside the city to pick up some of them, and they could finally support it for a while.

"It can't go on like this." Gao Wenbin sat cross-legged in the city tower, and Gu Zhi sat opposite him, surrounded by several generals who had only been selected in the past few days.

Xie Qun knelt in front of the mat between the two of them, and went to fiddle with the wick of the oil lamp on the mat. The light reflected on his face, illuminating a calm countenance.

He had changed into clean-fitting clothes, and his face and hands were so clean that he was barely recognizable as the kid from the refugee pile.

"Today, the Qizhou army has climbed the tower, we don't have so many arrows, and it will be easier for them to come up tomorrow." Gao Wenbin continued, "We will only have more casualties tomorrow, and the Qizhou army will have less." ”

Gu Zhi put one hand on his lap, his eyebrows condensed. The defenders of Yuyang had hardly experienced any warfare except for resisting small groups of troops that came to raid and clearing out bandits a few times. Compared with the battle-hardened Qizhou Army, it is far behind.

Moreover, the number of the Qizhou army is twice as large as theirs, and they cannot withstand attrition.

The most important thing is that the hearts of the people in the city began to fall apart. When he had just come up, he heard a handful of defenders gathering and talking, wondering why the goddess did not appear.

They can continue to stay in Yuyang, half because Yuyang now has food, and half because Ye Shenyu.

Even if Ye Shenyu didn't say anything, after seeing her martial arts, they all thought that they would be able to win the battle by following her. But now that the Qizhou army is coming, the goddess is gone, which makes them panic, and even instinctively want to pick up their old habits and abandon the city and flee.

"After that, we have to retrain the troops." After a while, Gu Zhi spoke, "The goddess is ordered by heaven to get food, but we can't even defend Yuyang City. How can I continue to pray for the protection of the goddess? ”

The generals surrounding them were stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces: "The goddess is going to go to the grain by heaven's order?" "Isn't it like the rumors that Yuyang has been abandoned?

Because they were afraid that someone would take advantage of Ye Shenyu's whereabouts after leaking them, Gu Zhi and Gao Wenbin did not reveal Ye Shenyu's whereabouts to others.

Gu Zhi frowned, his face was extremely serious: "Of course, the goddess took pity on us for not having enough food, so she specially asked the Emperor for her life. "No matter what, let them believe that Ye Shenyu will definitely come back, and let them believe that there is a reason for her to leave.

As for the Heavenly Emperor, Gu Zhi's expression was cold, and the ghost knew what it was.

"The goddess has not abandoned us......" someone muttered to herself.

At this time, Xie Qun had already taken his hand back from the top of the oil lamp, and he was not very happy when he heard this: "The younger brother of the goddess is still in Yuyang, how can you suspect that the goddess has abandoned Yuyang?" ”

That's right, the child that the goddess brought with her is still in the courtyard next to the county office. She won't even leave her brother behind, will she? Several generals nodded to each other, relieved.

Xie Qun lowered his head, and a strange smile tugged at the corner of his lips. They regard Ye Shenyu as a god, but they speculate on Ye Shenyu's thoughts with people's hearts.

It's ridiculous.

"It is disrespectful to criticize the goddess," Gu Zhi warned, "If you anger the goddess and cause the goddess to give up Yuyang, how will you atone for your sins?" ”

Without waiting for the person who had just spoken to ask for guilt, he stood up and said lightly: "This is a test for the goddess to Yuyang, if Yuyang City can't hold it for even three days, how can we be worthy of following the goddess?" ”

"The order goes down, and the goddess will return in two days. We must guard Yuyang until the goddess returns, so that we can continue to follow the goddess. ”

These generals took orders one after another, and before they withdrew, their faces were no longer the first fear.
