Chapter 423: Tiredness

The tired guard was being helped up by Lang Zhong in the city, and he was carrying a porcelain bowl and feeding the decoction to his mouth.

However, this person raised his hand a little weakly, and then slowly pushed away the porcelain bowl that was placed on his mouth, and looked at the Tong County Lieutenant in front of him and said such a thing.

It was this that said this, and the expression of the county lieutenant Tong froze, looking at his subordinate who was lying on the ground, looking at his eyes with some expectations, the county lieutenant Tong pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, because he also didn't know when reinforcements would arrive.

After the two looked at each other for a moment, County Lieutenant Tong slowly crouched down, reached out and patted the guard's shoulder, and said softly: "Cure the disease well, and the reinforcements will be coming soon." ”

As soon as the words came out, County Lieutenant Tong could clearly feel that the guard's eyes instantly darkened.

just whispered: "Alas." Then he drank all the potion in the porcelain bowl, and then lay down and said no more.

And the conversation between the two was very quiet, except for Lang Zhong, who fed the medicine, no third person listened.

But this kind of thought, Lieutenant Tong knew that it must be more than the guard in front of him who thought like this, and even vaguely heard such a statement two days ago, and as time went by, if no reinforcements appeared, it was conceivable that there would be more and more such voices.

County Lieutenant Tong watched the guards close their eyes and lie down on the city wall, and continued to patrol backwards, his steps were a little heavy and slow, the winter was getting colder, not only the guards couldn't hold on these days, but people kept falling, even he, the weather-hardened county lieutenant, was a little exhausted.

Since that day, Zhang County Commander changed his strategy of resting at night, and the guards were still able to rest well, and he, the county lieutenant, had hardly closed his eyes for two days.

However, the same county magistrate had less time to rest with his eyes closed than his weak body, and when he thought of these Tong county lieutenants, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

And the issue of reinforcements vaguely mentioned by the guards, he didn't think about it, but he never mentioned it in the ears of the county commander.

But if he didn't mention this question, it would explode sooner or later, thinking about this, County Lieutenant Tong suddenly stopped his steps and walked in the other direction behind him.

From the beginning of wearing the armor to today, Zhang Qianjian has never taken off it once, and his whole face looks a little haggard, but he is still firmly staring at the battle situation under the city wall.

This tug-of-war has been going on to this point, in fact, the bamboo poles and wooden pole-shaped weapons of Yu Lin Guards and others are no longer as powerful as before.

Falling again and again, these monsters climbed up again and again, and repeated so countless times, these monsters seemed to have learned wisely, and were able to dodge in a small area on the city wall.

What's more, he will open his sharp giant pincers, and it is a knife at this weapon, and he is unstable and in a panic, and he doesn't know whether he has cut a scimitar or a long pole, but no matter what he cuts, he will be cut off in response.

When the guards encountered such a situation for the first time, they were not small, and after gradually getting used to it, the use of this weapon was no longer as wide as before, which seemed a little cautious, but because of this, it was more accurate.

Often a knife poked down, then immediately a stroke pulled up, most people can directly cut the crab general's belly, a long time of offensive and defensive battles, in addition to the traces of lotus oil burning on the wall of the city wall, there are also marks stained red by the blood of monsters, one by one or a mass.

Counting from now on, there has never been a siege in which even the entire wall of the city has been dyed in various colors: black, yellow, and red.

"It's not far from hitting the top of the city. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stood beside Zhang Qianjian, looked at the situation below, and then looked at the more and more soldiers lying on the side of the wall, and sighed softly.

Hearing this, Zhang Qianjian pursed a thin lip and did not speak, hitting the wall is not the most important thing at the moment, because with the support of the other three city walls, the most urgent situation at the moment is ......

"My lord, there is one thing about the humble position. Tong Haotong, the county lieutenant, walked over at this time, stood behind Zhang Qianjian, and said with a slight bow.

"Say..."Zhang Qianjian seemed to make a sound from his throat, a little hoarse, and he looked extremely tired.

County Lieutenant Tong looked up at the haggard side face of the county commander, but his eyes were still full of energy, and after thinking about it, he didn't ask the county commander directly in his own identity when the reinforcements would come, but repeated what happened before.

"There are not many such voices among the guards of the western wall. After the last sentence of the county lieutenant Tong, he lowered his head and quietly waited for the reply of the county commander.

However, the county magistrate did not reply, and after waiting quietly for a while, Zhang Qianjian simply said, "Okay, I know." ”

"Yes. Knowing what this said, Lieutenant Tong didn't know, but he didn't continue to ask, turned around and continued to go to the battlements to hold on.

Here, Zhang Qianjian thought faintly in his heart, this is the more important thing he thought about before.

This conversation between the two did not hide His Royal Highness the Prince, and these people never had the idea of hiding him, His Royal Highness was also very surprised after listening to it, not because he was surprised by the arguments in the army, but that the Brother Zhang on his side did not give Lieutenant Tong another 'reassurance'.

"Didn't the county magistrate just now plan to calm the hearts of the soldiers?" asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince aloud after the county lieutenant Tong left.

"Comfort, what can I say, is a vague and ambiguous answer, or a deadline of ten days and a half months, just to drink to quench your thirst. Zhang Qianjian had already thought very thoroughly, and said softly at this time.

"Things have developed to this point, and manpower is sometimes poor. Zhang Qianjian sighed with emotion, as if all the previous determinations had become weaker in this voice.

When these words were spoken, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know what to say, and there was silence for a while, and the day of defending the city in silence passed.

When the moon hung high in the sky again, and the monsters receded like a tide, they could already be clearly heard, and all the guards in the entire city let out a sigh of relief, which was like a heavy hammer, knocking on the hearts of Zhang Qianjian and His Royal Highness the Prince.

"The guards of the other three city walls are also tired, and the county lieutenant Tong ordered to go down, and the eight adults will rest tonight, and only two adults will be left to change the guard. Zhang Qianjian instructed to the county lieutenant Tong.

"Yes. With a little joy at this news, County Lieutenant Tong turned around with some excitement and was about to walk back, but he turned back and said, "My lord, you haven't closed your eyes for many days, you can sleep well tonight." ”

"Yes. ”

But God often likes to joke so much, tonight's rare night, not easy to sleep, more frightened than ever.
