"What's wrong?" E Dali asked.

Yuan Fan smiled: "It's nothing, I just broke my foot." ”

E raised his eyebrows, "Big man, this little thing is still shouting." He shook his head and turned back.

Yuan Fanwei is on his feet? Of course not! Just now, his waist card accidentally fell to the ground, and when he picked it up, he found that the words on it had changed.

On the back of the waist card, in addition to the line of words that indicate the accident, there is also a text written underneath: "Loyalty, benevolence, bravery, fearlessness." Join the militia of the Ming Provisional Organization and enter the battlefield".

Seeing these words, Yuan Fan's heart jumped suddenly, the first eight words turned out to be when he met Chi Cheng, the uncle who sold potatoes in the vegetable market, and the content displayed on the waist card was just more than the next sentence at that time.

He had been worried that the "own people" he met at the vegetable market that day might have lost their lives in this chaos, which was something he could not control. Now the text on the waist card clearly reminds him that this "own person" is not dead, and he is simply thankful.

He raised his head and looked left and right, because he was already close to the west wall of the inner city, in addition to the mountain bandits, there were many regular soldiers of the Ming Kingdom and ordinary people who took the initiative to help.

"In other words, among these people, there are 'own people'?" Yuan Fan looked over one by one, wanting to remember the faces of these people.

At this time, the battle for the defense of the inner city had reached a white-hot stage, and although the fighting on the west wall had stopped for the time being, on the contrary, the battle on the other three walls had become more intense.

The soldiers of the southern kingdom sometimes climbed the tower, and whenever this happened, the soldiers defending the nearby city would burst out with more strength and kill the enemy soldiers who ascended in the shortest possible time.

Killings and cries came from all directions, and the fire-lit sky turned red. The people who retreated to the inner city all shrank together, looking at the soldiers who came and went in a hurry, and couldn't stop shivering. Sometimes, the wounded on the front line were carried down and sent to the county office, and the people looked at the wounded soldiers who could not stop crying out because of the pain, and their hearts were sad.

The shouting lasted from the evening until dawn the next morning.

Looking at the southern army that once again Mingjin withdrew its troops, the soldiers of the Ming Kingdom stood on the city wall in a daze, without any joy at all.

Hold on! They managed to keep it all night! But the southern kingdom obviously has not yet had a final general attack, and will they be able to withstand the next round of siege?

Ling Su had been commanding for a night not far from the city wall, and he was also exhausted at this time.

He climbed the city wall, saw the stunned expressions of the soldiers, raised his eyebrows, the enemy was only temporarily retreating, maybe when he would come back, how could the soldiers stand up to such a state?

He opened his mouth and was about to reprimand, not far in front of him, a soldier suddenly fell to the ground, and several soldiers around him checked it and reported that he should be too tired and fainted.

Ling Su frowned, yes, if it weren't for the fact that the battle was too fierce and the soldiers were exhausted, Nanguo would not have withdrawn his troops.

And as a party with fewer people, the condition of the soldiers in Shiji City must be even worse, and Ling Su has nothing to blame.

"Why are you all so listless?" Ling Su adjusted his tone, "We've won!" Successfully blocked their attack today. The efforts and sacrifices of each and every one of you have not been in vain, at least you have slapped the general of the Southern Kingdom in the face, and my Ling Su's head is still on my neck! ”

He said slowly: "You have to believe that our reinforcements will come back soon, no one dares to delay such a big matter, I promise you, by noon today, our support will come!" ”

Sometimes, the coach is really a very important existence, and the soldiers who were still demoralized just now obviously feel a lot more energetic after Ling Su said this.

Ling Su gave a few simple instructions and went down to the city with a few main generals.

Tao House.

This is Tao Xuding's "temporary command post", and since the county government has been filled with wounded, Ling Su has not proposed to return to the county government to command.

"My lord, will reinforcements arrive soon?"

At this time, in the front hall of Taofu, the people who can speak in Shiji City are here. The county commander Ling Su, the judge Tao Xu, the guard general Zhang and the general He Bi General, and a few figures are incompatible with several people here, that is, the mountain bandit leader E Dali and his two proud subordinates Jing Lao Idiot and Yuan Fan.

Originally, Jing Lao's arm was gone, so he should go to rest honestly, but if a person like him was allowed to be a person outside the "center", how could he be willing? So as soon as he heard that E Dali was going to come to discuss "political affairs" together, he followed him with a dead face.

As for why E Dali appeared here, in his words, he helped Shiji City guard a wall, and the Black Mountain bandits threw down hundreds of corpses for this, don't they even have the qualifications to sit here?

As soon as a few people sat down, Tao Xu asked about the reinforcements, and Ling Su frowned when he heard it, and did not answer. On the contrary, General Zhang sighed and said, "Judge Tao, the reinforcements will definitely come back, but it will not be certain." Today at noon...... That's impossible. ”

"Ah......" Tao Xu slowly sat back, bowing his head and saying nothing.

Seeing that everyone was silent, E Dali suddenly stood up from his seat, which attracted the attention of others.

"You all think we're hopeless?" E Dali asked in a rough voice.

"What do you think?" Ling Su squinted his eyes, although he asked, but his tone was full of thinking that E Dali could only have the meaning of "low opinion".

"Hehe, I don't dare to be a high see. I just want to say that the matter has come to this, as a husband, you can't leave regrets in your life, you should fight for what you should fight for, don't you say? ”

The corners of Ling Su's mouth twitched, and he wondered, "What do you want to say?" ”

E vigorously turned to Tao Xu and said loudly: "I want to say that since it has reached the point of exhaustion, Shiji City has no soldiers, and you don't want to surrender, so you can only send everyone to death together." If I'm going to die tomorrow, then please ask my father-in-law to make the decision now, marry Tao Siniang to me, and let us be an outlaw couple for a day. ”

"You...... That's what you're talking about? Tao Xu pointed at E Dali in disbelief, the military and civilians in the city were in danger, and the mountain bandit leader was still thinking about robbing marriage?

"Of course!" E Dali was not ashamed at all, "It is my lifelong wish to marry Tao Siniang, and I will do my best to complete it!" ”

Tao Xu couldn't hold back any longer, slammed the table, and roared angrily: "You give it to me, get out!" How far is it, roll me out! ”
