On the third and fourth days, the attack of the Karma people was a little weak, bringing a little respite to the tense battle.

In the early morning of the fifth day, the horn company camp, just as the two armies were about to fight, a cavalry wearing blue armor rushed in the direction of Wuwei City in the south, and quickly tried to pass through the encirclement, but unfortunately the manpower was sometimes poor, and more than a dozen light cavalry of the Qianren subdued him bloodlessly and dragged him into the camp.

A brief episode did not change the main theme of the day, and soon both warring sides forgot about it, and resumed the bloody battle, until the evening when Mingjin withdrew his troops, the Liang army pushed a simple wooden cart out, on which was a bloodied man, and Yele Dashi happily pointed to Chongming City Road:

"Listen, the Jin people in the city, do you still know who this is?"

Even at the height of the offensive, there was a commotion in the city, which had remained quiet at its height, and they didn't know this person?

This is the robe of their former brothers, and it is the hope they sent to ask for help.

When the Jelle stone noticed the commotion at the head of the wall, the smile on his face grew, and he cried out:

"Listen to the people inside, what did your great sons and daughters say to your brother!"

He then bowed his head and whispered in the ear of the dying man, "Just tell me the truth, and I will let you live." To put it mildly, I can arrange some family land for you. ”

He patted the young general's shoulder proudly and said meaningfully:

"I'm also thinking about you, as you said, the Jin Kingdom has already given up on you, hasn't it? In that case, it's just a dead end to keep going, let's be honest. ”

The young general's eyes were already bloodshot, and he looked up weakly, and when he saw the familiar general, the fat man and the red clothes, his nose suddenly became sore, and he had a thousand words to confide.

He wanted to talk about the scolding he received when he met the civil official who sent the maid from Wuwei City on the road; He wanted to say that in Wuwei City, a group of high-ranking officials and generals either closed their doors and disappeared, or finally seized the opportunity to meet, and after they met, they only loudly reprimanded him for being whimsical; He wanted to say that he was wrapped up in Wuwei City, hungry and cold, and slept on the streets; He wanted to say that Wuwei City directly announced that he and several other brothers were deserters and were hunted down, and several other brothers died one after another, and only he managed to escape; He wanted to say that the torture was painful, and he really couldn't bear it. In the end, a thousand words came to his mouth, and he was exhausted, so he could only tremble and shout out the sentence he wanted to say the most:

"Reinforcements are coming!"

How could I betray my brothers? Even if Wuwei City fails us and the brothers who went to Liangdu fail to complete their mission, you have to work hard.

Live and live until the day of the miracle.

There was a terrible silence inside and outside the city, and the Jerek boulder on one side looked at him in disbelief as if to say, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The young general took a deep breath again and shouted with his greatest strength, blood already gushing out of his throat:

"Reinforcements are coming!"

He didn't have a chance to say a third time, but the angry Yale Dashi cut off his head with a knife, and returned to the camp to take out a few of the previously severed heads—the messengers he had sent to report to Emperor Liang were all intercepted and strangled by Jere's fierce men.

"The messengers you sent to inform Emperor Liang of the old dog have all been killed by me! Wuwei City has no intention of sending troops over at all! You have exhausted all your organs, but you have lost Qingqing's life. You have no way back! ”

There was silence in the city, and the heads of the five heralds did not cause the panic and fear that they had imagined. The round head spun on the ground and rolled back to the feet of the Jereh boulder. Jere's big stone looked down angrily, and saw the corners of the young general's smiling mouth, and the anger disappeared without a trace, and then filled his heart with boundless emptiness and fear.

Since he became the patriarch, this world has become farther and farther away from the world he is familiar with, he doesn't understand why there is such a magical cannon in the city, he doesn't understand why this guy is so afraid of death, he doesn't understand that the city is still indifferent when he hears this obvious lie. Shouldn't the Jin people be weak as rats?

He pointed at Chongming City and shouted, a little angry: "You have no way out!" What are you guys still holding onto? ”

One of the soldiers on the wall spoke, his eyes were red and swollen, and his hands were trembling from the day's fighting, and he said softly but firmly:

"Reinforcements will arrive."

The soldier next to him heard a whispered echo:

"Reinforcements will arrive."

Gradually, the sparse voices came together and became an indestructible belief.

"Reinforcements will arrive."

Jelle clenched his fists fiercely, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Starting tomorrow, suspend the offensive, rebuild the ladder rushing car, not seek to be strong, mainly consume as much stone as possible, and continue to build trebuchets at the same time." ”

Jelle looked up at the fortified city, which was still chanting, "In four days, in four days I will see two hundred catapults, and that will be the time for a decisive battle." ”

That night, a red-eyed soldier found Chen Lingxuan and asked, "My lord, will reinforcements really arrive?" ”

Chen Lingxuan hesitated, didn't look at the soldier's eyes, and said briefly: "It will arrive." ”

When the soldier heard this, he did not doubt him, touched his head and said, "Then I can rest assured, my lord." By the way, this is what my brother asked me to pass on to you. ”

Chen Lingxuan, who was tired from a busy day of material planning, took the gift, opened the covered cowhide, and said in surprise: "What a knife, why don't your brothers keep it for themselves." As soon as the sentence came out, I realized that I had said the wrong thing, but unfortunately it was too late.

The soldier choked up and said, "He is gone, just today, in front of the eyes of the two armies." ”

Chen Lingxuan's face was serious, he bowed respectfully, and said, "Then does your brother have anything to explain to me?" ”

The soldier snorted and said, "He said, he really didn't expect that Lord Chen, as a civil official, would actually run behind him towards the battlefield. And the way an adult holds a gun is really funny, like a dying dog. So if he is gone, he will simply give this knife to the adult, and the adult of the province will only be able to hold the gun next time, and he will be embarrassed like a dog. ”

Chen Lingxuan laughed angrily when he heard this, took the knife with both hands, and looked at the familiar patterns on it and the even some dazzling reflections under the night, and the familiar picture came to mind like a torrent.

He remembered the red face of a young general that day, and stubbornly retorted; He remembered the funny way the young man turned over from the wooden wall and rubbed his buttocks, as well as the angry sentence "The king chooses people like this, it is too underestimated for me", and finally remembered the light as bright as a torch that night.
