Hearing this, Jiang Shiyu's hand pressed heavily on Qi Dan's shoulder.

He's busy, and he probably won't even be able to visit his injured defender if he hadn't stopped by the road.

He was also helpless, he should have persuaded Qi Dan to recuperate from his injuries, but now he can't.

Lack of people, lack of generals, at the moment of the war, whether it is a soldier or a general, unless it can't be moved, it should be topped or topped.

Today, Yong'anmen repelled the attack of the Xiliang army, but they did not destroy the siege engines and trebuchets of Pomdon, the power of these siege weapons is still there, and when they come back tomorrow, they will be the same bitter hands.

Moreover, if Pang Deng can transport one, he can transport two or three, and more siege vehicles, trebuchets, arrow towers, and ballistas will appear outside the twelve gates of the capital in the future, while the defense forces in Beijing will only be reduced and reduced due to battle damage.

It's hard now, and it's even harder after.

All the defenders of the capital could do was to drag, drag the Xiliang army to the death, and drag it until the aid arrived, and the inside and outside should be combined.

Count the days, from the Holy Heaven's promise to the Northland Army to enter the customs, the Holy Decree was transmitted to the north, Gu Yunyan ordered his troops to go south, no matter how fast the cavalry team runs, I am afraid it will take ten days and half a month.

The capital must be defended until that time.

Jiang Shiyu left the medical hall and hurried to Shuntian Mansion to arrange the future defense affairs.

Pang Deng didn't let them breathe for too long, and when it was dark, taking advantage of the moonless tonight, the cloud ladder reached the Yong'an Gate and started a new round of offensive.

Cheng Yanzhi guarded Yong'anmen, and in a burst of horns, he commanded the soldiers to defend.

Jiang Shiyu rushed to hear the news and determined the location of the siege vehicle, a large number of defenders were transferred to Yong'anmen, and the other city gates did not dare to relax their vigilance, in case Pang Dengsheng attacked the west.

This time, it wasn't until dawn that Poundon withdrew.

For several days, Pomden sometimes attacked and sometimes besieged.

No matter day or night, the people of the capital will hear the sound of fighting in the war drums and horns.

There are more and more wounded soldiers, and the hospital is not enough, Shao Fangde has requisitioned inns, wine shops, and even flower houses, anyway, there are no overnight guests, and the government will give money according to the head, and settle down first.

The number of dead soldiers is also increasing.

If the relatives are in the capital, the family will take them back for resettlement, and if the relatives are not there, the government can only burn them first.

Yizhuang is on the outskirts of the city, and even if there is one in the city, it can't fit it.

Although it is autumn, so many corpses can't be left for too long, for fear that one will not cause an epidemic, then there is no need to wait for Pang Deng to break through the city gate, and the capital itself will be finished.

There are also bodies that cannot be recovered, and those who fell off the city wall were mixed with the corpses of the Xiliang army, and the defenders could not open the city gate to collect the burial.

In such a war situation, some people in Beijing were panicked day and night, and more people stood up to help.

The women rushed to needle and thread day and night, and the medicine pestle and stone mortar in the hospital hall were not enough, and some people moved the stone mortar for beating rice cakes from their homes, and they used it, and a large pot was set up at the entrance of the street, boiling water for cooking, so that everyone could drink a sip of water when they passed by, so that the people in the suburbs of Beijing who hid in the city could have something to eat.

The more they do these small things, the more the government and yamen will be free to do other more urgent things.

Shao Fangde returned to Shuntianfu from the six yamen, and the little officials were all transferred to do things, he and the master were riding horses, and an old lady stuffed an egg by himself.

The egg was still warm, and it was in the palm of your hand, but it was hotter than fire.

In the past few days, Shao Fangde has not taken care of shaving, his whole face is sloppy, except for an official uniform, who can recognize this as Lord Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

He sat on his horse, holding the reins, and as he walked forward, he held the egg, and tears welled up in his eyes.

The master threw himself on the horse, ate the eggs, and cried.

The two cried to the door of Shuntianfu, wiped away their tears, jumped off their horses and ran into the lobby.

The people gave them eggs to eat, and they had to defend the city for the people.

Shi Qi pulled the cart, piled up a lot of bright fabrics, one alley after another, and exchanged the material for leather with people, whether it was soft or hard, whether it was new or old, it was leather, which could be used to sew armor.

The brothers looked strong, and they were not afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos to make trouble, so they politely exchanged with others.

There were many people who brought leather, but refused to accept the cloth.

There are also some people who were watching before, and they can't sit still at this time, so they move out all the goods at the bottom of the box at home.

The defenders are so difficult, they keep these private things, will they wait for the Xiliang army to loot after the city is broken?

Xu Qi's soles of his feet had several blisters, and it hurt as soon as he landed, but he didn't care, he picked it up with a fine needle, and he gasped in pain, and cheered up his brothers.

"Brother Yuan's married Nianxia girl, that's called a terrible," Xu Qidao, "I saw her coming down from the city wall that day, half of her body was covered in blood, all of which belonged to Xiliang soldiers, and I heard that she kicked several thieves down the ladder with one kick, like a string of sugar gourds." ”

This is nonsense, but who doesn't like bragging?

Shi Qi was so happy that he said, "That's over, Brother Yuan may not be able to stand it." ”

After speaking, he bared his teeth and looked at Xu Qi: "Do you really want to go to the city wall tomorrow?" Go to fight the Western Liang soldiers? ”

"Is that not it?" Xu Qidao, "I've all reported my name, and I'm going to go up and kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Afraid of what? We were in Ning County at the beginning, and it was also punched with one fist, I am not as good as Brother Yuan, but it is not a fist embroidered leg. ”

Shi Qi smiled: "I'll go too, and secretly report my name." ”

He was small, not serious-looking, and looked like a child with no hair at all.

Shi Qi was afraid that the defenders would not want him, so he was ashamed to say that he had killed someone, which made the defenders look at him several times.

In the end, the defender probably didn't believe him, and took him for the sake of some muscle in his arm.

Moreover, there is a real shortage of people, and those who have courage are better than none.

When I asked like this, seven or eight of them quietly signed up.

Shi Mi brought two jars of wine, raised his head and drank a few sips first, and said: "Don't die on top, we haven't eaten Brother Yuan's wedding wine yet, and finally gave the new house to Brother Yuan to brush out, I didn't see him marry a bride, and I lost money on the Huangquan Road." ”

"Out of breath!" Xu Qi snorted at him, "I still want to drink the fifth master's happy wine, we have been with the fifth master for so many years, and we don't even know who he married, this Huangquan Road, I won't go!" ”

"Yes, not leaving!" Shi Qi nodded, "Our fifth master is so powerful, we will definitely be able to marry a daughter-in-law who is equally powerful." When the Xiliang army is repulsed, I will listen to the wind and ask? Listening to the wind and being a matchmaker is very powerful, let him pull a line for our fifth master, I estimate that it will be done. ”

"Who?" The crowd asked him.

Shi Mi propped his chin, patted his thigh, and said, "County Lord! I think the county lord is very good! The fifth master and the little grandfather are lifelong friendships, how good! ”

Whether it's good or not, whether it will work or not, they haven't finished bragging, only to hear the loud horn sound again.

They hurriedly threw down their things, rushed out of the courtyard, and followed the sound.
