A lot of forts and ditches were dug outside the capital, and at this time dense soldiers and horses were stationed, but the faces of the soldiers and generals were not good.

Ahead, there was constant news of the loss of the town.

On several occasions they even saw the banner of the Zhenwu Army of the Lady of Chu in Huainan Province, although it was only a sporadic scout, and they were quickly killed or beaten away, but it still made the generals tremble.

The soldiers and horses of Huainan Province came so fast, and they advanced so fast, and Mrs. Chu really lived up to her reputation.

It is certainly not ordinary to dare to attack the capital.....

I heard that this Mrs. Chu is a fairy who descended to earth, scattering beans into soldiers, and the soldiers and horses are invulnerable.....

"That's." The general standing on the gatehouse of the fortress scolded angrily and frowned again, "Where did you come from here?" Is there a spy who has infiltrated our army? ”

An adjutant general said, "It seems to have come from the camp of the homeless people." ”

After the Lady of Chu attacked the capital, the defenders of the capital not only drew people from the city to serve as servants, but also captured many homeless people from outside.

The adjutant general pursed his lips and disdainful: "Mrs. Chu has always been accustomed to promoting fame, what cornucopia porridge, all the fairy jewels are used, these absurd and ridiculous words are particularly widely spread among the homeless people....."

Then it was passed on by the homeless people from outside.

"Strictly investigate these rumors, so as not to shake the morale of the army." The general commanded, and sneered again, "Why did Mrs. Chu come to fight the capital?" is to relieve the siege for Wu Ya'er, and wants His Majesty to collect troops and return to defense, so that Wu Ya'er can escape from death, she doesn't really want to fight the capital at all. ”

The adjutant general nodded and said, "Whenever they arrive at one place and capture one place, they will grab food and camp and dig trenches, and they will be stationed for a long time to threaten and intimidate us." ”

"Your Majesty has long expected it, so I didn't defend it." The general scoffed, "What if the town is lost? What could they do if they were allowed to occupy so much space? Attack the capital? Come on, let me see how the capital was defeated. ”

The adjutant looked back at the city in the distance, entrenched on the earth, high and heavy, seemingly close and seemingly boundless, like a heavenly palace.

"Isn't she a fairy?" He smiled, "She shouted to open the door, and the capital opened." ”

This joke is very funny, the general laughed, the laughter did not fall, and the sound of fighting was heard in the distance......

"Siege! Besiege! ”

I don't know how many people's roars can be heard clearly from such a distance.

Although there was a city behind him, the faces of the generals and lieutenants still changed slightly.

"The whole army of Mrs. Chu has gathered, and about 50,000 people have rushed over." The messenger rushed over and reported, "Five lines of defense have been connected. ”

So ferocious!

The general was quickly relieved and smiled indifferently.

"You have to act like a siege, otherwise you will scare us and Your Majesty." He said, drawing his long knife, "Assemble the soldiers and horses, and we will fight them!" Let's see who can scare whom! ”

Fighting according to the defense of the city, who can scare whom?

......

......

"Break the camp!"

"Break the camp!"

"Disarm or die!"

There was a rolling roar in the distance, accompanied by the roar, the earth trembled, and the hearts of the displaced people who were crouching in the trenches and being taken to serve as laborers were terrified.

The camp was broken so quickly, and the rebels' city was the hardest they had dug up, and dozens of people could die a day.....

But I didn't expect it to be broken in less than half a day.

Looking at the tide of soldiers and horses in the distance, the rebels retreating like a tide, and many of the displaced people squatting in the trenches couldn't help but stand up and watch......

"There are so many flags, and at least 10,000 soldiers and horses."

"You really haven't seen the world? 10,000, that's 30,000. ”

Probably seeing the rebels being repulsed, and the rebels on this side busy gathering and leaving them alone, the homeless people began to talk in a low voice with suppressed schadenfreude and fear.

Of course, they hope that the rebels will be defeated, as soon as possible, otherwise they will all be exhausted to death, digging ditches and carrying earth walls day and night.

But they also didn't want Mrs. Chu to come, and when Mrs. Chu attacked, they would be driven away by the rebels as human shields.

That's a dead end.

Although the Lady of Chu is said to be merciful, her kindness is not on the battlefield.

"See, Mrs. Chu's attack is inevitable, and all the soldiers and horses are pressed." Someone rushed over and said, "We're inevitably going to start here soon." ”

The momentum is indeed like this, the attack of the soldiers and horses of the Lady of Chu has lasted for three days, one camp after another has been breached, groups of rebels have retreated to the outer defense line of the capital, and the displaced people gathered look frightened and uneasy.

"The rebels don't really care about being destroyed." The man continued in a low voice, "They can retreat to the capital, there are walls of the capital, and no matter how many soldiers and horses the Lady of Chu has to enter, she can't enter it." ”

This is indeed true, everyone whispered again, no wonder these camps were breached so quickly, it turned out that there was a way to retreat and no will to fight.

"But we have no way back." The man sighed, "They guarded the camp and let us die first, and they didn't take us back to the city, and there are more people available in the city, and there are fewer of us to eat." ”

This is the most terrible fact about them, and the faces of the displaced people present are pale.

"Old crooked, you are a former soldier." A homeless man grabbed the man who was talking, "Can you tell me what to do?" ”

This reminded the homeless people present, all eyes were focused on the man who spoke, the man was called old crooked, not a homeless, a person who was selected from the servant to take charge of the homeless people digging trenches, the chief of the army was also a servant, but he could get paid, but he was nothing in front of the real rebel generals, he had to work together, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to die as a human shield.....

Lao shook his head crookedly: "What kind of soldier am I, I was just a night patrol in the capital......

A thin homeless man standing outside shouted inside: "Being a night patrol at the feet of the Son of Heaven is more knowledgeable than a county order." ”

Yes, yes, everyone nodded their heads, grasping at the most insightful straw and asking indiscriminately, "Think about it", "What do you say", "I don't want to die yet." ”

The old man sighed: "Who wants to die, this world ....."

He sighed with a wave of his big hand, and his expression became fierce.

"If we want not to die, we can only let the rebels die."

This made everyone puzzled, thinking that the old crooked was still too arrogant to be a night patrol in the capital, and he actually thought that they could let the rebels die? Aren't they as powerful as Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses?

Some of them laughed and some of them cried.

"Don't laugh! Don't cry either. The old crooked said, "Listen to me." ”

There were a few homeless people who helped to calm everyone down, and listened to the old crooked carefully, to the effect that the rebels didn't care whether they lived or died, and Mrs. Chu couldn't care about their life or death, and now there are only these two parties who can control their life and death, so they must choose one side.

Of course, if you want to choose, you will choose Mrs. Chu Guo, as long as you help Mrs. Chu Guo kill the enemy, Mrs. Chu Guo will treat them as her own people.

This is an example, the lady of Chu attacked Yangzhou City, and the people of Yangzhou, who were driven as human shields, turned around to fight the rebels, and then led the lady of Chu to take Yangzhou City.

Those dead heroes were enshrined in the heroic temple outside the city, and their families were taken care of by Mrs. Chu and had no worries about food and clothing, while those who were alive and wanted to be officials became officials, those who were soldiers had positions, and ordinary people were given houses and land.....

A group of homeless people who listened were fascinated and excited.

"But can you really fight the rebels with your bare hands?" A homeless man who still retained his sobriety asked.

How can they be so powerful!

"Although we can't fight without weapons, we can disrupt the rebels without weapons." The old man smiled firmly and stretched out his hand to point behind him, "We can set fire to the camp and burn the camp." ”

It's possible to set fire to it, no matter how difficult it is, but does it work?

The old crooked laughed: "Of course arson works, as soon as the rebels are in chaos, it will be much easier for Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses to fight over, and when the time comes, they won't care about us, we can take the opportunity to run, we used to run, everyone has no way to escape, but now it's different, there are Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses outside, as long as we can run over, she learned that we set fire to the rebels for her, and she must regard us as her warriors and save us." ”

It sounds very reliable but a little unreliable, but now there is no other way, just according to what the old crooked said, at least they can run away while they are in chaos, there are soldiers and horses of Mrs. Chu outside, and the rebels do not dare to chase them too far......

Done!

A group of homeless people gathered around the old crooked, and deliberated carefully.

A homeless person squatting outside was a little confused, and couldn't help but think, how could the old crooked night patrol in the capital know that Mrs. Chu was so clear? You can almost pronounce the name on the Temple of Heroes......

Nonsense, right? Is it reliable?

Can you really burn down the camp here? Is it chaos for the rebels to burn up? Did the rebels fight over the soldiers and horses of Mrs. Chu when they were in chaos? What if you call?

No one thinks about this, they do it anyway, and when they don't think about anything, they do things unexpectedly.

Looking at the fireworks rising in one direction, the master here was a little stunned.

"The servants burned down the camp?" He asked, incredulous, "Why did they suddenly go crazy?" ”

"They ran away." The lieutenant said, "To escape." ”

The main general regained his composure and felt a little ridiculous: "It's really crazy, do they think the defense line of the capital has been broken?" They can get to the wing of Mrs. Chu in three steps and two steps? ”

The deputy general was supposed to laugh, but the corners of his mouth pulled and he didn't laugh, so he only nodded and said, "I've gone to chase and kill, and no one is left." ”

Isn't this a big deal, does a fire still want to burn the battalion army? The main general is too lazy to bother to retract his gaze, or is it important for the army on this side to fight.....

But the commotion was even worse on the other side of the fireworks, and in addition to the thick smoke, there were also vibrations.

“.... The soldiers and horses of the Lady of Chu State have raided! ”

Pounce? The main general's face changed slightly, looked ahead, and smiled coldly, this is not unusual, the army is always assisted by two wings in the battle, and there are some dark soldiers who will raid the vanguard or something.

He said indifferently: "Ignore it, let them withdraw to the defensive line." ”

Even if the Xicheng defense line is abandoned, is it a big deal? The Lord will continue to look away, but the commotion over there will be louder and louder, and the Messengers will come sooner.....

"Oh no, the West Gate is open!"

The Lord will be stunned: "Open, open, what a joke!" ”
