General Geng Zhong was silent, obviously difficult to make up his mind in such a short period of time.

Although the Beidi barbarians have already arrived in the city, no one can say when they will attack, and what if they attack as soon as they kill the horses?

With military horses, at least a small number of elites can break out, whether it is to move rescue troops or preserve vital forces, it is equivalent to an extra back road.

Killing horses can indeed solve the problem of rations in a short time, but what if the brutes surround it for a few more days? At that time, everyone will be trapped in the lonely city, and there will be no hope of finally breaking through.

The reason why Zhao Haiping made this suggestion was, of course, because he knew very well the time of the barbarian attack.

Digging wells and splashing water can indeed play a role in psychological warfare, but the premise is that the first wave of attacks of the barbarians must be withstood first.

If the soldiers are about to collapse because of excessive hunger and thirst, then it is useless to splash water, and the Beidi barbarians are not stupid, how can they be so easily frightened away when they see that the city is about to be captured.

So, now it's time to kill the horses and keep the soldiers at their best.

The attack of the Beidi barbarians was frustrated, and when they found that there was a water source in the city, they could retreat.

It's just that Zhao Haiping can't say that the Beidi barbarians are about to attack, which would inevitably seem too godly.

It can only be said in another way.

"General, the situation is urgent, and we must make a decision early!

"Even if you keep the military horses, when the city is broken, there will only be 12 out of 10 people who can escape, and when you break out of the encirclement of Beidi, I am afraid that there will be no one in 100 who can break through!

"This has long been an isolated city, and the surrounding cities have all been captured by Beidi, and it is difficult to move rescue soldiers.

"Moreover, if a few people start to break through on horseback, the rest of the soldiers in the city will inevitably be disheartened and will collapse at the first touch!

"And killing military horses has two benefits.

"First, it can ensure that all the sergeants are in the best condition to meet the enemy, and rely on the city to inflict the greatest casualties on the Beidi people; Second, it can show the general's determination to live and die with the city and boost morale!

"When the time comes, the sinking of wells and the water and the divine soldiers descending from the sky can deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Beidi people, and we will have the hope of surviving in a desperate situation!"

General Geng Zhong was still silent, but the expression between his eyebrows gradually became firm.

Eventually, he slammed the table.

"Well said!

"Rather than a few people breaking through and stealing their lives, it is better for everyone to live and die with this city!

"Our Da Chu sergeants, as long as we still have a lot of blood, we will defend the border for our Da Chu and never take a step back!

"Order, kill the horse! Sink the well! ”

……

With the general's order, the Da Chu soldiers in the city began to get busy.

The soldiers tearfully killed the horses that had fought alongside them for many years, and the seventh well began to be dug in full swing.

Bowls of horse meat were sent to the city, and the soldiers ate them while shedding tears.

But Zhao Haiping inspected the city, but he could clearly feel that the whole city was in a state of high morale, which was not the same as the previous sluggish state!

Because these soldiers were originally in a state of hunger and thirst, and had no idea when the Beidi barbarians would attack, some wanted to break through on horseback, and some felt that they were waiting for death, and the people's hearts were not aligned.

But now, the general has ordered the horses to be killed and eaten for meat, and everyone knows that they will live and die with the city!

After eating and drinking, the confusion and hesitation all disappeared, and the hatred for the Beidi barbarians was rekindled.

There was only one word in the hearts of the soldiers.

Kill!!

Zhao Haiping took the broken bowl containing horse meat from the soldier's hand, and the meat was not delicious, after all, horse meat was not delicious, not to mention that there were no condiments at all at this time.

But it still regained strength in his hungry and thirsty body.

"That's the right solution.

"Even if I choose the natural skill of starvation, it is only that I am not hungry, and the state of the other soldiers will not improve at all.

"If I had gotten the horns in the first place, the second phase would have become a cycle that I would never have gotten over.

"But now, the physical strength and morale of all the soldiers have been greatly improved, so that the city can hope to hold on!"

……

The sun set and soon rose again.

At last, the rumbling of war drums came from below the city.

Beidi barbarians, going on the attack!

Zhao Haiping found that the time of this copy was dynamic, and if he didn't do anything, then time would pass quickly, and soon come to the time node of the Beidi barbarian attack.

If he's been doing things, then there's a whole day to do all sorts of preparations.

Now, the time is finally ripe.

But the well had been dug very deep, but there was still no sign of water.

General Geng Zhong was willing to give up, but Zhao Haiping still insisted on ordering people to excavate, but only a few sergeants were retained, and most of them were transferred to the front line at the head of the city.

The brutes rushed towards the city as before!

A few barely usable fortifications threw stones at the barbarians, but with little success, and soon the barbarians were on the top of the city, and the two sides began a white-knuckle battle!

Zhao Haiping rushed forward again, desperately guarding the general's side.

Because he knew very well that no matter how many people died, General Geng Zhong could not die. Once the general is killed, the morale of the city collapses, and the army will be defeated immediately.

Fortunately, this time, he found that the difficulty of the battle had actually decreased compared to before.

Because all the soldiers are now in a state of full food, and their morale is high, and their combat effectiveness is obviously not at the same level as before!

Moreover, Zhao Haiping, the deputy general, has also significantly improved his appeal to the soldiers.

In the first stage, Zhao Haiping rushed to the crowd and basically didn't get much support, and most of the time he was fighting alone, but now, wherever Zhao Haiping rushed, there would always be people who followed without hesitation and condensed into a small group, so that Zhao Haiping's pressure was greatly reduced, and he could rush back and forth among the Beidi barbarians to the limit.

Zhao Haiping didn't know how long he had been chopping, and in the end, he was almost fighting by instinct, and he was almost about to die several times, but it was the Da Chu soldiers around him who were not afraid of life and death to block the knife for him, so that he survived.

Finally, the last Beidi barbarian soldier on the head of the city also fell under his sword.

Zhao Haiping felt that his whole body was about to collapse, and he used a long knife to crutch the ground, barely maintaining a standing posture.

At this time, he was covered in blood, and the armor on his body was full of knife marks.

Looking back, at the head of the city where the bones were piled up, General Geng Zhong was also covered in blood, but fortunately, there was no big problem.

"Held?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and Zhao Haiping was even a little uncomfortable for a while.

However, the quest did not end or enter the third phase as he had hoped.

The rumbling war drums under the city sounded again!

Zhao Haiping couldn't help but be surprised, he hurriedly looked at the city, only to see that the Beidi barbarians under the city were gathering again!

Obviously, although the first round of offensive did not capture the city, and the Beidi barbarians also suffered heavy losses, they still firmly believed that the Great Chu soldiers were at the end of their crossbows, so they had to launch the second round of offensive at any cost!

The soldiers in the city all showed despair.

Because they are indeed close to the limit at this time, if there is another round of such an attack, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

Just then, a soldier came in a hurry.

"General! Out of the water, out of the water! ”

General Geng Zhong's blood-stained face showed an expression of despair, and after a little thought, he immediately said, "Quickly transport the water to the city!" ”

Soon, buckets of well water were delivered to the city.

Seeing that the barbarian attack was imminent, General Geng Zhong ordered all the well water to be poured down.

General Geng Zhong stood at the head of the city and laughed: "Beidi barbarian! What if you go to great lengths to cut off my water supply? I have God's help! ”

The other soldiers also stood at the top of the city and laughed.

Buckets of well water were splashed, and the Beidi barbarians who were about to attack couldn't help but look at each other and hesitated.

Obviously, even the Beidi generals who were the leaders were hesitant.

They have been unable to attack for a long time, and the morale inside has long been low, this time cut off the stream, cut off the water source in the city, I thought that in time I could kill the Great Chu soldiers in the city to death, but I didn't expect that these Great Chu soldiers were not only alive and vigorous, one by one can fight, but also found a new water source in the city!

Could it be that God is really blessed?

At this moment, the confidence of the Beidi barbarians was dealt a fatal blow and finally collapsed.

At the head of the city, Zhao Haiping barely supported his body and slowly recovered his strength.

If you follow the historical script, it is time for the Beidi barbarians to withdraw at this time.

But that's not real history after all, and the devil knows if the game will suddenly be inappropriate.

Therefore, he can only wait patiently with great apprehension.

Finally, he saw that the Beidi barbarians did not attack again, but finally gave up and chose to retreat.

Zhao Haiping breathed a sigh of relief, his physical strength was exhausted, and he sat down at the head of the city in the dark.

The second stage has finally passed!

……

There is a fog in the field of vision.

Zhao Haiping's previous fatigue and pain are all gone.

But this is not good news for him, because he knows very well that the third stage of the speculation is really coming!

The fog lifted, and Zhao Haiping returned to the familiar city.

Only this time, it is completely different from the previous two stages.

As far as the eye could see, everything was covered in snow, and large snowflakes fell from the sky, falling on the shoulders of the soldiers defending the city.

And the gray on the heads of those soldiers was not snow, but white hair.

Some of these soldiers were clumsy, some of them were withered, and all of them had become old men in their seventies!

Looking down at himself again, Zhao Haiping found that his body had become very old, and the armor on his body was even more tattered.

The body is still quite strong, but it is completely incomparable to the state of the youth.

Immediately after, Zhao Haiping felt a gust of cold wind penetrate through the gaps in his armor, cold to the bone.

Although he was wearing cotton clothes under the armor, the cotton wool in a few cracks no longer knew where to go, and he could only shiver from the cold in the cold wind.

The situation was even worse for other soldiers.

And under the city, the rumbling war drums of the Beidi people were heard again.

Zhao Haiping couldn't help sighing, and the last glimmer of hope was finally shattered.

This game is really inappropriate!

Guess you have three stages, do you really have one?

It's just a beginner's dungeon, how hard it is!
