August 19 at 4 a.m.

The sun had just risen above sea level, and the glow of the morning sun shone on the blood-stained walls, which were littered with sleeping soldiers.

Yesterday, the Tempest Clan's twenty-four hours of continuous onslaught, even though the outer city has fallen, but the Tempest Clan's offensive is very ferocious, and Jinhai's army has begun to rely on the city wall to resist with physical mortals.

Originally, there were about more than 200 long-range artillery pieces of various calibers in Jinhai, but after four demonic sieges, the ammunition had almost run out, although Cao Debin later got some more from the northeast, it was just to give Cao Debin some hard capital, to say that he could retreat under a demonic attack of this scale, and it was impossible to do without thousands of shells.

The number of shells fired by the Northeast Army on the tiled houses, if Jinhai knew about it, Jinhai and these people would have to commit suicide.

Now there are still more than 200,000 soldiers left in Jinhai, but there are only two regiments of artillery left, less than 50 guns, and the shells of these artillery are also close to exhaustion, and there are less than 2,000 rounds, which is already the last retreating artillery shells at the critical moment of life and death.

And at this moment, it is not only the soldiers who are in chaos at the head of the city, but also those people and the so-called militia who have been recruited to the head of the city to assist in the defense.

Ma Ziyou stood in front of the city tower where part of the inner city gate had collapsed, looked at the smashed grenade launchers, sighed and said, "How long has the Earth Demon Clan retreated?" ”

Chief of Staff Ge Cen Ping said with a hint of loneliness in his voice: "It's been four hours, with what we know about the Earth Demon Clan, they won't give us a chance to breathe, maybe when there will be another wave of onslaught, we retreat from the outer city to the inner city, this section of the buffer zone has allowed us to survive for so long, I am not optimistic about this battle." ”

Ma Ziyou sighed and said, "What if you're not optimistic? What about doomed failure? Our soldiers persevered until the last moment, and they were worthy of eating the rations for so long, don't tell me, you're going to retreat. ”

"It's not enough to retreat, it's all like this now, where are we going? But Cao Debin told us to persevere, and we still insist on it, how many days has it been? said that the Northeast Army would come to support, where are the reinforcements? ”

Ge Czenping said with a grumbling heart.

"Shut up, you're not a person who doesn't know soldiers, you've seen the map, the main forces of the Northeast Army are in Pingyang, what is the location of Pingyang? When the news spreads, the troops will be gathered again, and the army will be pulled over again, and the Northeast Army will already be well-trained in a month! ”

Ma Ziyou is now a soldier in the Northeast Army, he doesn't even want the Northeast Army to come, fight to the end, fight to the end, fight it out, the scale of the demon race, how many people does the Northeast Army have to defeat?

In the eyes of the soldiers of Jinhai, only by relying on the city can they hold the attack of the demons, and if they leave the city wall, the human race will be vulnerable even if they are fully armed, so Ma Ziyou hopes that the Northeast Army will not come, and retain a trace of vitality for the human flow.

"I know, of course I do! But how long can we survive in this current situation? Optimistically, we can still hold the next wave of offensive, and in the next wave, we will definitely not be able to hold on! ”

Ma Ziyou knew that Ge Cengping was tired of war, or rather, he began to find a way to live.

The people in Jinhai are like this, especially the high-level, and under several degrees of political struggle, one by one they have become insistent. Without faith, they can fight for their lives, but in a mortal situation, their nerves for the common party at that moment will always collapse, and the next thing is selfish survival.

Ma Ziyou couldn't say anything righteous and awe-inspiring at this time, he hesitated for a moment, and said: "Order the commanders above the colonel level of each department to hold out for another five days, and if the Northeast Army does not come after five days, I, Ma Ziyou, will give them an explanation." ”

"What's the explanation?" Ge Czen said with his ears pricked up.

"I will take four divisions of my descendants to guard until the last moment, and give you time to retreat!"

Ge Cengping looked at Ma Ziyou for a long time before he said: "Commander Ma, I believe you, I think all my colleagues also believe in you, but five days, what you said is too easy, you look at this scene, is it possible for the soldiers to hold out for five days?" If there is another attack, I can't guarantee that I will be able to defend it. ”

Ma Ziyou looked at the soldiers who were asleep on the city wall, and some soldiers even used their companions' broken arms as pillows, which showed how paralyzed the soldiers' nerves were, and how tired they were.

He knew that not only this wall was like this, but all the places on the half-moon shaped inner city wall were like this.

He needs a new force, but at this time, where can he find a group of new forces with combat effectiveness?

It's Toguyichi's artillery, and at this time he is probably sleeping tiredly.

"Zhao Qiang and Wen Zhao still haven't come up?"

Ge Czenping sneered and said, "They? Without Wen Guangyao's order, they were all stiff and tight. ”

Ma Ziyou sighed and said, "I'll leave the city to you, I'll go find Wen Guangyao!" ”

"Can people give you face? At this time, even Cao Debin is not easy to use, that is people's life and capital to turn around! ”

Ma Ziyou walked down the city wall with a sigh, and his voice fluttered up from below: "Even if it hits a wall, I have to give it a try!" Now the only people in the city who still have combat strength are the 60,000 people left in his hands! ”

After getting off the city wall, Wang Fan, who followed Ma Ziyou, said: "A speculative man, completely ignoring the miscellaneous things of the whole city, what do you have to say to him." ”

Wang Fan, as a member of the Northeast Special Service Team to protect Ma Ziyou, got along with him every day and night, and said with some disdain.

"What can be done? As long as the 60,000 fresh troops under him join in, I can be sure that I will carry it for another five days, are you really sure that within five days, the army of the Northeast Army will arrive? ”

Wang Fan said: "This is Major Huang Fayu's conclusion, unless the Northeast Army does not want to save Jinhai at all, otherwise, with the style of the Northeast Army, the soldiers can still do it quickly, we are there, whether it is sea or railway, it is extremely developed, you can rest assured, within five days, the Northeast Army will inevitably come, if it does not come in five days, then there is only one possibility, for some reason, the Northeast Army gave up Jinhai, but I believe that this is impossible." ”

"Why?"

"Because our leader is Li Yang! He is a man who values people more than anything else! ”

"What if it really didn't come? Do you still worship him like that? ”

"Till death! If it really dies and the Northeast Army does not come, then something has happened that makes the leader have to give up Jinhai! I'm sure this will never happen! ”

Wang Fan's eyes showed fanatical admiration, this kind of gaze, Ma Ziyou has seen in the eyes of many people from the Northeast.
