Chapter 155: So be it
At the head of the city, Guan Yanyue was looking down, his face grim.
The decisive battle outside the city, as the commander, he did not choose to burn the jade, that is not the style of their Guan family.
It's not that he's greedy for life and afraid of death, but that he doesn't want to sacrifice meaninglessly.
Even if the city of Yangzhou is broken, he will not choose to take the initiative to martyr. He had to fight until the last moment, with his back to Jinling, and fight the Northern Tang Dynasty to the end until he was killed.
The lotus step moved slightly, and the soft lotus skirt appeared beside him.
That's the pretty man.
"Bang Yun, your injuries are not completely healed, you should rest well, if you really want to fight, it will be better for you."
"I didn't rest well," Guan Bangyun's voice was a little cold, "The Northern Tang people bullied us so much, how could I rest well?" ”
"And," she added, "they won't give me a chance to rest, and to-day, they're going to attack the city, aren't they?" ”
The Northern Tang army in the distance was majestic and majestic, and all kinds of siege equipment had been placed in front of the battle.
It's another beautiful morning.
Guan Yanyue looked at her.
Her pretty face is a little haggard, and her figure is also much thinner, and the once slender and graceful girl seems to have lost some color, which is a pity.
His own daughter Guan Xianyun chose to be a girl and stayed in Jinling, but Guan Wanyun chose to ignore the family's opposition and came to the battlefield.
A hint of softness and pity flashed in his eyes: "Bang Yun, you have suffered, as a golden branch and jade leaf, but you are like a strong man rushing to kill the field, working hard, it is our incompetence as elders." ”
"No, don't say that," Guan Bangyun interrupted him, "you should treat me as a man, not a girl." ”
Guan Yanyue stared at her for a long time, and said slowly: "Bang Yun, if you are like this, it is estimated that no one dares to ask for it." ”
"That's good," Guan Wanyun sneered, "I'm very comfortable, I live for myself, men will only become a burden to me, I'm good alone, enough to eat, what is a man?" ”
Guan Yanyue smiled: "If everyone thinks like you, then my Great Wu doesn't need the Northern Tang Dynasty to come and attack after many years, and my own people will be extinct." ”
Guan Bangyun seemed to realize the naivety of what he said, his face was slightly red, and he argued: "What does that have to do with me? I have my freedom! ”
"But now you choose to fight for it, and you're willing to give your life, so isn't that a contradiction?"
"Even if I give my life, I won't dedicate it to stinky men!" Guan Wanyun's face became redder and redder.
"Then who will you support in the future, if no one in our family is willing to accept you?"
"I just expose the corpse wilderness, and I have nothing to do with the stinky men!"
(Is that what some strong women think?) Haha~)
Guan Yanyue shook her head: "If you say that, you're messing around." ”
He looked into the distance: "How is it, are you in a better mood?" ”
"It's almost as bad as the mood is worse."
"The people of the Northern Tang Dynasty are going to attack the city, maintaining a good mood is the most important thing, don't think too much, success or failure is sometimes not determined by good or bad mood."
"Hmph," Guan Wanyun snorted coldly, "To be honest, I didn't expect that a person as serious and old-fashioned as you would have funny moments." ”
"People always change," Guan Yanyue muttered, "just like a country." In the Tianzai years before Li Zenan, who would have thought that the Northern Tang Dynasty would be so fierce when it showed its fangs? ”
"They've arrived." Guan Wanyun said suddenly.
"How long are you sure to hold on?" She asked again.
Guan Yanyue shook her head: "What you should ask is how much damage I am sure will cause to the Northern Tang people, as for the illusory question of how long to hold on, I have never thought about the answer." ”
In the distance, the massive siege towers were propelled by heavily armored wrestlers, surrounded by heavily armored infantry, their wide shields holding themselves and their wrestlers firmly in the middle, like an impregnable wall.
The same bulky siege engines followed indiscriminately, and the troops carrying the ladders seemed to be the fastest.
Of course, the faster ones are the ranged units equipped with the Northern Tang Divine Crossbow.
In order to cover these siege engines, they had to launch a dense long-range offensive to cover the guards on the walls.
A battle that is bound to be lost or won does not mean that it will be much easier.

Guan Kuo stopped, sat by the river, and nibbled on dry food in the clear water.
He was given very little dry food when he was in the army of Southern Wu, and in this era of war and chaos, the people outside the city were displaced, and sometimes there was no need for the army to loot, so they left their homes in panic, so after this, he did not know how to get food.
"One day at a time......" he said to himself.
The army of the Northern Tang Dynasty was on his way, and the only thing he could do now was to wait, wait for the opportunity.
The silhouette of the huge castle in the distance is a little unrealistic, but it stretches out and is very spectacular.
Equally stretching and spectacular, is the army of black oppression outside the city, even if it is so far away, it can still be clearly seen.
He imagined the people of Southern Wu who were now standing at the head of the city, and guessed that they could only ask for more blessings for themselves.
He saw the shining fireball glide across the morning sky like a meteor, with a graceful arc.
He knew that it was a terrifying attack launched by a giant trebuchet, and even the tall and sturdy Yangzhou city wall would be slightly shaken or even destroyed, right?
The sun rises from sunrise to sunset, followed by a dark night.
The offensive of the Northern Tang army was carried out day and night.
The rockets and fireballs at night briefly brightened the sky, making it look a little beautiful.
Guan Kuo and Wuji leaned together, looking at the tragic battle in the distance, knowing that the only thing he could do was to watch the battle from afar.
The attack lasted three days and three nights, and in the early morning of the fourth day, the city of Yangzhou was broken.
It was a bright day, and the early morning light illuminated the shimmering dewdrops, and the four fields were beautiful.
Guan Yanyue broke through the encirclement with the remaining troops and fled further south, while Guan Wanyun was nowhere to be found.
Fubo Gongjin is worried about martyrdom.
Following the mighty public relations Zhixiao, another veteran has disappeared, which means that there are really fewer and fewer things left that represent that era, and the same is true for the death of General Guanying of the Northern Tang Dynasty.
When he met a small group of remnants who had escaped from the city, Guan Kuo learned such a news, and was silent for a long, long time.
He didn't expect to meet Kim Youzai only once, and that was the first and last time.
Although he has no feelings, and even has hidden vigilance, he has to say that his perception of Jin Weizai is much better than Guan Zhixiao.
"Actually, I thank you," he said softly to the sky, "because you have blessed me with a mother, Jin Hualian." ”
"Of course, that's all."
"As for Guan Zhixiao, it's pretty much like that."
