Liu Taishou was extremely desperate at the moment, like a beast in a predicament, full of panic and fear for the future.

He didn't know where the hope was, he was just an ordinary Taishou, maybe talented, but he didn't feel like a hero.

In this era that can be said to be a time of great turmoil, Liu Taishou doesn't know what to do...... No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't protect the people of Linshan City!

This is shame, helplessness, deep self-reproach.

It's a strong feeling of suffocation that can almost completely drown a man!

"Taishou, believe me, reinforcements will definitely come. ”

Li Jingyang had been quietly watching Liu Taishou's madness and sorrow, and his tone was still calm and firm.

This sentence was said to Liu Taishou, to himself, and even to the soldiers and civilians of the city.

It doesn't matter if reinforcements can come or not, the important thing is that you must not lose hope!

"You say!Reinforcements, will they really come?!"

Liu Taishou stood up suddenly, staring at Li Jingyang, and the two faced each other.

"But you also see ......"

Liu Taishou's voice was almost gritting his teeth, and his facial expression, dust and blood were distorted: "But you also saw it! The thirty-eight horsemen are already dead! You tell me, how did the reinforcements come!"

"It's hard to happen, he will not be able to predict the prophet!"

Liu Taishou roared angrily, raised his hand and pointed to the north, which was the direction of the imperial capital.

At this time, Liu Taishou's expression was extremely crazy.

Li Jingyang knew that the "he" that Liu Taishou said was referring to the emperor.

can't even save his life, who cares about humility!

To say that Liu Taishou has no resentment in his heart, it is impossible, if the imperial capital really sends reinforcements, Liu Taishou will grit his teeth and persist in whatever he says.

But now, there is no hope for the people of Linshan City!

Li Jingyang sighed slightly in his heart, to be honest, he couldn't hold it anymore.

He didn't know if reinforcements would come.

If it weren't for Si Yu dragging out the rebels' offensive for a whole month, he would have wanted to surrender a long time ago, at least the people in the city would not have died too much......

But now, they can't even surrender, and the rebels already hate the soldiers and civilians of Linshan City.

"Whether reinforcements will come or not, we must think that they will. ”

Li Jingyang's voice was low, and he stared at Liu Taishou intently.

Li Jingyang's voice was also trembling, but he still tried to stay calm: "You know, we have reached this point, if the city is broken, the rebels will definitely not spare us!"

"If it is a death after all, do you want to die standing up, or kneel in humiliation, and then be beheaded by the rebels?"

Li Jingyang's words were like a hammer, hitting Liu Taishou's heart hard.

Neither of them is a big talent, they are just ordinary people with a little talent, and no one can last so long in such a desperate situation.

They have done their best to tap into their last potential.

"Sure enough, are we still going to die......"

Liu Taishou smiled miserably and sat down.

"Are you afraid of death?"

"I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that the 400,000 people in the city will be slaughtered by the rebels, and it's my responsibility that Linshan City can't hold it, and I don't want them to die with me. ”

"If everyone dies after all, then you should think carefully about whether you will die standing with them or kneeling. ”

Li Jingyang's voice was low: "My mother taught me when I was very young..... I have the blood of Great Xia flowing in my body, and I am a descendant of the First Emperor of the Human Race! I should have the same arrogance as Emperor Su. That's a bone that can't be broken even if it is constantly beaten! This is the bone of our Daxia people!"

Li Jingyang's voice was very light and light, and it fell on Liu Taishou's ears, but it seemed to be thundering.

Bones of the Bactrian people......

"I ......"

Liu Taishou was stunned, turned his head to look at the city wall, hundreds of old or immature soldiers were looking at him silently, many people's eyes were full of despair, many people wept silently, letting the tears wash their bloodstained faces.

But no matter how desperate they are, they also know that they need to listen to Taishou now.

If they don't hug each other again, they will die even worse!

Liu Taishou's heart trembled, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

Do we have to let the people die with us?

Liu Taishou didn't dare to look at the gaze of the soldiers, he turned his head and looked south, twenty miles away, at the edge of the skyline, there were rows of rebel tents, forming a huge encirclement.

Even at the foot of the mountain range on three sides of Linshan City, there are rebel garrisons, just to prevent the people of Linshan City from escaping over the mountain or sneaking attack.

Some time ago, Si Yu made them pay a heavy price, and they didn't dare to make a big deal except for a tentative attack.

The rebels made up their minds and wanted to besiege the city of Death.

It was also thanks to Si Yu's garrison some time ago that Liu Taishou thought of that idea, summoned the people in the city to fill the army, and pretended to be that Si Yu's army was still in Linshan City, and survived most of the month.

But now that there is no food or water in the city, it is difficult for his disguise to continue.

Originally, he also thought of a way to escape with the people over the mountain, but unfortunately, the rebels thought that the army in the city was still the Sijia army, and the rebels were too cautious to give Liu Taishou a chance!

The rebels could have bypassed Linshan City directly to attack the imperial capital, but they did not dare to hand over their backs to the "Sijia Army".

Liu Taishou's strategy of pretending to be Si Jiajun was very successful, but it was also this success that cut off all the retreats in Linshan City!

Now, what else can be done?

Just when Liu Taishou was looking into the distance and his throat was rolling hard, a terrible scream suddenly sounded in the city!

"Someone..... Someone jumped into the well! Save people! A lot of people jumped into the well!"

It was the voice of the soldier responsible for transporting supplies downstairs, full of immaturity and panic.

......

Linshan City, south of the city.

Not far from the battlefield, there is a well in the backyard of a house here, but now it is no longer possible to draw water.

Now, there are a lot of people around the entrance, and although this group of people is neatly dressed, their faces are yellow.

They couldn't even secrete their saliva anymore, every roll in their throats felt like a knife was cutting, and every breath felt like a flame burning in their chests.

Thirsty!

So thirsty!

Everyone stared at the well, around the well, refusing to leave.

"Get out of here, get out of here, don't go near the wellhead!"

Dozens of old soldiers arrived, followed by a group of young men to drive away the crowd.

"Old Li Tou, someone jumped from here just now, there are more than 20 people, I saw it. ”

"Don't call me Lao Litou!"

An old soldier turned his head, his face full of frowning and revealing murderous intent, and he shouted: "I am now the commander of the army!

"What bullshit Captain Wu, don't you still owe me three copper plates!"

"Lao Tzu dares to go to the battlefield, do you dare!"

"Lao Tzu also dares!"

"Let's go, if you're still a gentleman, just take your farming guy, as long as you kill three rebels, I'll get you a war knife!"

"But..... I'm thirsty, can you give me water to drink? I don't want a sword, I want water, old plum. ”

"I haven't drunk water for a day and a night, and I can't even pull out my pee!

"Then I'm not leaving. ”

The man shook his head, very resolute.

He licked his dry lips, pointed to the mouth of the well, and said in a faint voice: "Here, there is water, just jump in..... You'll be able to drink to your heart's content. ”

This man's voice echoed in the quiet courtyard, and even the movement of the soldiers dragging the people away was slightly slow.

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, he suddenly yelled, stepped forward, and pushed the man to the ground: "If you dare to jump down, Lao Tzu will kill you now!"

"Then you kill me!"

The man wiped the dirt from the corner of his mouth, and stared at the mouth of the well: "If I can't drink water again, I will also die, it is better to be killed by you." ”

"My family is dead, and I don't want to live now!"

His tone was firm, and there was a faint light in his eyes, a very longing but strange light.

He didn't even want his life to drink water.

Hundreds of people had already gathered in the courtyard, and there was still a steady stream of people coming.

They all want to jump into a well.

It's not that I'm not afraid of death...... It is they who have forgotten the fear of death with thirst!

There is no water at the wellhead, and even if you look down the wellhead, you can't see the water anymore.

When a stone is thrown in, it takes a long time to hear the sound.

Lao Li Tou knew that there must be water in the mouth of this well......! Who would dare to jump?

It's going to kill people!

"I ......"

Old Li Tou's mouth was bitter, and he didn't know what to say.

He also wanted to drink water, but Captain Li said that he was a soldier! He had to protect the people of Linshan City!

Anyone can lose their minds, but not soldiers.

Soldiers are to protect the people and bring everyone to live together.

At that moment, a loud shout rang out from the courtyard.

"You want to drink water, don't you?"

"Come, this official will give you water to drink!"

"Anyone who wants to drink water should go to the school field in the city and stay there, and each person will have a bowl of water! After drinking water, they will all go home and find a guy to go to the battlefield with me! Whoever dares to mention jumping into the well again will die, and the official will dig his ancestral grave!"

It wasn't long before the sound fell, and everyone turned their heads to look out of the courtyard.

A man covered in filth and blood, but with an exceptionally tall figure, strode into the courtyard, his left arm empty, his dirty sleeves fluttering in the wind, and his demeanor was still undiminished.

"Taishou-sama!"

"Liu Taishou is here!"

"Liu Taishou, is what you said true? Do we have water to drink?"

The people made hoarse and dry voices, and many of them had difficulty even speaking, and they were lying on the edge of the well, but their eyes were still looking at Liu Taishou expectantly.

"Yes!"

Liu Taishou laughed, but his voice was particularly desolate: "In the barracks, there is still a batch of rainwater, each person takes a sip! After drinking, follow Lao Tzu to die, you can't do it!"

Fight!

Liu Taishou figured it out.

If this world doesn't give them a chance to live, then he doesn't expect any bullshit reinforcements, he wants to die standing up!

He wants to take the people of Linshan City and stand and die together in a dignified manner!

Because, this is the bones of the Great Xia people, this is called arrogant bones!

Beat constantly, twist the bones that do not break!
