"Lord Zhongcheng, Nanba has been out of the city for several days, and now he has not returned, I'm afraid it will ......" At dawn, at the head of Suiyang City, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan led Yao Zhi and Lei Wanchun to lead the soldiers and civilians in the same city to repel Yin Ziqi's attack again, and the enemy army left countless corpses and retreated in a hurry, and the city was also full of dead and wounded; Looking at these casualties of soldiers and civilians, Xu Yuan said worriedly.

"Nanba is a loyal martyr, whether there are reinforcements or not, he will come back eventually." In fact, in Zhang Xun's heart, he would rather Nan Jiyun not come back, so as to retain some bloodline for Suiyang City, but according to his understanding of Nan Jiyun, he knew that Nan Ba would definitely not be able to leave them alone to survive.

"In today's battle, we have all the remaining arrows." These arrows were made by tearing down the houses in the city and finding wood, copper and iron, and now there are not many houses in the city to tear down.

"Tear down my house, brick and stone can be used as rolling wood and stone, bamboo and wood can be used as arrow shafts, I remember that there are still a few bronze Buddha statues in the house, so they are turned into arrowheads." Zhang Xun said calmly.

"That's fine." Xu Yuan was not pretentious, he knew that if he didn't do this, Suiyang City would be attacked by Yin Ziqi in a few days, so what was the use of keeping these mansions at that time? Do you want Yin Ziqi to live? "My house was also demolished, but unfortunately I don't have a Buddha statue there."

While the two were talking, there was a noise under the city wall, and Zhang Xun couldn't help frowning, "What's the matter?" ”

"Lord Qiyu Zhongcheng, it's Madame who has come to you." After a while, Lei Wanchun brought a woman who was so thin that she almost didn't look like a man to Zhang Xun, and everyone immediately recognized this woman as Zhang Xun's concubine, who had been helping to light a fire and cook under the city these days, but today she didn't know why she was here.

"This is a fortified city, what are you doing here?" Zhang Xun shouted, "Don't hurry back yet." ”

"Your Excellency." The concubine bowed down, and the long-term hunger made her almost unable to speak, she said in a weak mosquito voice, "There is no food in the house today, and a few of us have been looking for a day to catch a mouse, and the concubine knows that the adult must not have eaten until now, so she sent it to the adult." ”

After saying that, she trembled and handed a broken bowl to Zhang Xun, Zhang Xun's eyes suddenly turned red, and she turned around pretending to be strong, "This official has already eaten with the soldiers in the city, so you can share these foods." ”

Xu Yuan's mouth opened, but he didn't make a sound after all, he and Zhang Xun had never been separated for a moment on the city wall, how could he not know that he had not eaten a grain of rice until now.

"My lord Hugh wants to hide it from the concubine, how can the concubine not know that the adult didn't wait for the soldiers to eat before he eats?" Zhang Xun's concubine still stubbornly held the bowl, "Today, the concubine is helping below, and I haven't seen much food delivered to the city wall, how can the adults have already eaten?" ”

If it weren't for Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan and others leading by example, killing the enemy before everyone and eating and resting after everyone, how could the soldiers and civilians in Suiyang City be willing to fight with them to kill the enemy and die without regrets?

"Your Excellency, you can eat it." Xu Yuan couldn't help but persuade out loud, and then Yao Xu, Lei Wanchun, and the surrounding soldiers also persuaded Zhang Xun.

"Okay." Zhang Xun glanced at his concubine with pity, and took the bowl from her hand, the concubine of the high-ranking official in the court was not brocade clothes and jade food, and she couldn't even eat a mouthful of rat meat with her.

Seeing Zhang Xun take the bowl, everyone on the city wall showed a smile, but Zhang Xun did not start eating, but walked quickly to the porridge bucket with a clear bottom, put the rat meat in, and stirred it with a spoon a few times, "It is better to be happy alone than to be happy, and all the soldiers do not know the taste of meat for many days, so you might as well open meat with this official today." For a moment there was silence in the city.

Suddenly hearing an exclamation, Zhang turned around to take a look, only to see his concubine pull out a dagger across her neck, teary eyes and a smile on the corner of her mouth and say, "My lord, now there is no food in the city, and the sparrows and rats have also been eaten cleanly, and it is a waste to keep a person like a concubine who is unable to kill a thief; The concubine will take the first step, and later the adult can give the concubine's food to the soldiers, which can be regarded as the concubine's last hand for the adult. ”

After saying that, the concubine bowed to Zhang Xun again, "Say goodbye to the concubine, I hope that I can serve in front of adults in the next life, and I hope that there will not be so many thieves in the next life who can stay with adults." ”

"Madame!" The soldiers on the side were all in tears, they didn't expect a woman to be so strong, several soldiers wanted to take the dagger from her hand, but they didn't dare to move for fear of hurting her.

"I'm sorry for you." Inspector Zhang sighed, "Today you go first, I will come later, you wait for me on the bridge, if there is an afterlife, we will be a loving husband and wife." ”

Xu Yuan and the others turned their heads when they saw this, even if they had seen a lot of battlefield killings, they had already become hard-hearted, and they couldn't bear to see the scene in front of them, and Xu Yuan's servants also secretly clenched their daggers, and when Zhang Xun's concubine committed suicide, they followed closely behind, so that many soldiers could have more strength to kill the enemy.

"My lord! The enemy army is in chaos! Suddenly, Lei Wanchun pointed to the distance and shouted loudly, and everyone hurriedly looked in the direction of his finger, only to see that Yin Ziqi's army was in chaos, and thousands of soldiers were killing from the army and were killing towards the city gate.

One of the leading generals danced a big axe, slashing left and right, and the generals under Yin Ziqi stepped forward one after another, but they couldn't stop him; There was another general behind him who held a longbow and opened the bow left and right, and wherever the long arrow came, all the thieves wailed to the end.

"It's Nanhachi, Nanba is back!" Lei Wanchun immediately recognized that the archery general was Nan Jiyun who had gone out to ask for reinforcements a few days ago, his face was ecstatic, and he turned back to Zhang Xun and said, "Lord Zhongcheng, Nan Ba is back with reinforcements!" ”

"Hahaha, Nanba is really a good man!" Zhang Xun rushed to the battlements in two steps, looked intently, and saw about a thousand brave soldiers escorting the army to rush back and forth among the rebels, and the thieves scattered everywhere they went.

"Whose subordinates are such brave soldiers? Helan Jinming doesn't have such ability? A trace of doubt flashed in Zhang Xun's heart, but he was instantly dispersed by the excitement of the approaching reinforcements, he turned around and shouted, "Soldiers, prepare to open the city to attack and welcome the reinforcements brought back by Nanba." ”

The soldiers hurriedly walked down the city and rushed towards the city gate, Zhang Xun gently took off the dagger in her hand when he passed by the concubine's side, "Nanba is back, he must have brought food, you go and prepare to make a fire to cook." ”

The concubine got up slowly, looked back into the distance, among Nan Jiyun's army, there were mountains of carts, she couldn't help but show a bright smile, the adults finally don't have to be hungry. (To be continued.) )
