Salz looked back and widened his eyes in surprise: "Brother Rosh, you ......"

"Salz, we have no other choice!" Rosh let out a long breath as he closed his eyes slightly.

"No, I will not surrender!" Salz shook off Rosh, took a few steps back, looked at Rosh, as if he didn't know each other anymore, and muttered, "I am a viscount who was personally canonized by His Majesty, and it was he who put his sword on my shoulder and asked me if I would like to be loyal to him." I clutched my chest and swore to him that I would never betray him. ”

"Salz!" Rosh snorted.

"For the sake of you saving me twice, I won't stop you, everyone has their own ambitions. But for the sake of me having saved you five times, please let me go. Salz also whispered.

"How are you going?" asked Rosh sharply.

"That's my business, I'll lead my people in the direction of Broken Water City. Until he falls!" Salz raised his right hand, and more than four hundred warriors from Broken Water City were silent and hugged him.

"Column cone, follow me!" Salz turned and shouted, raising his fist.

"Boom!" there was a sharp thud, and a sharp arrow struck Salz.

The power of the heavy arrow fired at close range was staggering, and it pierced Salz's chest with a single shot.

Salz staggered and turned his head to look at Rosh, a dozen paces away, with a strong bow in his hand, his face expressionless, with a muffled grunt in his mouth, and he was gulping for blood.

"Lord of the Castle!"

"Lord of the Castle!"

The warriors of Broken Water cried and pounced on Salz, who had fallen to the ground, but none of them resisted.

"The city lord of Rosh is indeed a hero, your sincerity, I will truthfully convey it to His Royal Highness. Colonel Seaman clapped his hands, and the applause was particularly harsh in the dead silence around him.

"Now that I have decided to join the Prince, I naturally cannot allow anything to happen that is unfavorable to the Prince's and the Yunzhong Army. Rosh's voice was cold and sodour.

......

"What! All the four cities have fallen! Except for the martyrdom of Salz, the lord of Broken Water City, everyone else has surrendered to the Yunzhong Army!"

"Yes, we found a soldier in Broken Water City who was forced to surrender outside Moon Cliff City and later escaped in the chaos, and he was the one who told us all this. The scouts reported loudly.

"Now, 20,000 Yunzhong troops, plus 3,000 rebels, are only thirty miles away from here. The scout added.

The crowd fell silent.

Bo Si looked back at the two thousand or so people behind him who were carrying strange weapons, with a uneasy expression, and at first glance, they were all the first brothers of the battlefield, shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Gao Ge: "Gao Ge City Lord, I think we should retreat to the city and hold on!"

Two thousand peasant troops who had just washed their feet ashore, plus more than 1,000 elites from five cities, went to confront an army of 23,000 men on the unobstructed plain, and imagined with their toes what the outcome would be.

"Absolutely not!" Gao Ge said categorically: "Our Jiulian City is a small city, such a small city, it is okay to stop the barbarians who are not good at attacking the city, but to contend with the Central Plains army with heavy siege equipment like the Yunzhong Army, it will not last long, it will only be a cocoon and be broken by each one." The Lower Four Cities are the best example of this. ”

"As long as we hold on for a few days, maybe the situation will change?" Persuaded Bernell, the lord of Taoyuan Cave City.

"There can't be reinforcements, the Eagle Envoy made it very clear, the Great Wall defense line itself is difficult to protect. The military god of the Yunzhong Army, the 30,000 elite of the Yunzhong Army led by Marshal Cumberland, is besieging Yanhui Pass. Gao Ge glanced at Burnell and said.

"Then you're going to break the jar and break it, and you want to fight hard in the field, you're hitting a stone with an egg!" Brock, the city lord of Twin Islands, said a little harshly.

"Since I'm going to fight, I'm naturally sure of it. "Gao Ge's face sank like water.

"Don't expect us to go to the four cities to follow you to death! we won't accompany you!" Wayne, the city lord of Cloud Plugging City, shouted to lead his subordinates away.

"I didn't expect you to be at the front. Gao Ge's face was a little cold, "You just need to hide behind our Weishan army, wait for the enemy army to retreat, and follow us forward to chase and kill." Lord Wayne, chasing the enemy's ass and killing you, aren't you?"

"You ......" Wayne, who has always boasted of his martial bravery, was so angry that his face twitched, but he couldn't get out, and his face was purple.

"Gao Ge City Lord, I have been in the army for thirty years, and I can tell you very responsibly that if you fight hard, the Weishan Army will be wiped out. The Lord of Riptide said in a deep voice.

"That was our own choice in Weishan City, and all the consequences were borne by ourselves. I'm not being sarcastic, you just need to line up behind our army. If the war is unfavorable, you are free to retreat. Gao Ge looked into Both's eyes.

The expression on Boss's face changed several times, but finally he turned his gaze to Garcia beside him.

"Father, since the city lord of Gao Ge has already said so, if we don't dare to continue to march east, I'm afraid we don't deserve to be called soldiers!" Garcia's voice was crisp and powerful, and her long fiery red hair fluttered like fire in the wind.

The four city lords of the upper four cities looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

......

After an hour's rapid march, the five-city coalition arrived at the expected ideal position in time.

Here, on the right is the mighty Wuding River, and on the left is the treacherous and unpredictable swamp of broken water.

The largest of the countless wetlands and swamps in the savanna, the Broken Water Swamp is an ancient lake that has been degraded, and during the rainy season it becomes a shallow lake connected to the Wuding River again, and in the dry season it becomes a swamp, a death zone that can devour all large creatures.

Between the Wuding River and the Broken Water Marsh, there is a passage about ten miles long and seven or eight hundred meters wide, although the ground is not very solid, but it is enough for pedestrians and horses.

Broken Water Castle is a military castle that guards the eastern end of this main road.

From here, you can see that on the horizon, there is a thick column of smoke rising into the sky, which is the city of Broken Water after being breached.

The formation cut through this passage of seven or eight hundred meters, connecting the Wuding River on the right and the Broken Water Swamp on the left, so that although the enemy army was numerous, it could not outflank the left and right, and could only fight a decisive battle head-on, which was Gao Ge's plan.

In the distance, you can already see a dense banner on the horizon, which is the banner of the army in the clouds, and the enemy army is approaching step by step.

The two thousand Weishan troops gathered into a dense phalanx, their young faces full of uneasiness and panic, after all, they had only undergone a month of military training.

Along with the Weishan Army were the Holy Maiden Yinyue, as well as all six Holy Handmaidens, who were wrapped in white robes from head to toe, revealing only their two eyes.

Yinyue looked at Gao Ge beside her with an inquiring gaze.

"No, to attain lasting, true courage, one cannot rely entirely on external forces, but more importantly through their own hearts. Gao Ge softly stopped Silver Moon.

Then, Gao Ge jumped onto a cart that had been placed long before the phalanx, and scanned the more than 2,000 young and cramped faces in front of him with a determined gaze.

His gaze also seemed to have the ability of Silver Moon, as long as the warriors he glanced at couldn't help but straighten their waists, and the uneasiness on their faces was somewhat lessened.

"Warriors!" Gao Ge shouted, raising his right fist.

Although there was no megaphone, every soldier of the Weishan Army, who was tightly gathered in a group, heard the call of the city lord, and everyone was shocked, raised their heads high, and looked at their leader.

"Warrior is a sacred word, and today I will call you by this sacred word! Yesterday, you were farmers, carpenters, stonemen, and horsemen, but today, you are all warriors!"

"As soldiers, what are you fighting for standing here today? Yes, you are fighting for me, fighting for Weishan City! But you are fighting for your parents, fighting for your children, and fighting for yourselves!"

"In front of us are more than 20,000 elites of Yun China, and 3,000 shameless rebels! While we only have 2,000 people!" Gao Ge's voice became low, but it became more powerful.

"But we have no way out, behind us, is Weishan City! The buckwheat outside the city is ripe! They are the result of months of hard work by you and your family, and they are the hope of survival in the coming year. You are all afflicted, and you know what this wheat means. ”

"And in the city, it is our parents, our wives and children, who have accompanied us through such difficult days, and they have just hoped for hope. ”

"But if we are defeated here, the enemy will ruthlessly rob us of the food we have worked so hard to grow, burn down the cities we have carefully built, and destroy everything that our parents, our wives and children depend on for their lives, just as they did in the lower four cities. ”

"So, believe in yourselves, believe in the weapons that have shocked you so much, and believe me, your lord. Today, we are here, defeating the enemy who wants to steal everything from us, even if he has 20,000! Today, we are here, not a single step back, because the world is so big that there is no place to retreat, and behind us is everything worthy of our life!"

"Our Lady, I will always be with you!Weishan City, Wansheng!" Yinyue's shout followed the singing!

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!" shouted ten people!

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" 2,000 people raised their arms and shouted, roaring in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

In this roar, everyone's face was full of excitement, which was a kind of hatred and hatred that was stimulated by the interweaving of grief, hope, and hatred.

Under the shouting and command of the officers, more than 2,000 Weishan troops quickly spread out to the two flanks, forming two formations in front and back, just filling the passage seven or eight hundred meters wide.

Their movements are vigorous and resolute, and they no longer have the timidity and jerkiness of the first time they go to battle.

After the arrival of Weishan reinforcements, the first and second companies of the standing army were reduced to zero, each soldier became a squad leader who commanded at least ten people, two companies became two regiments, and the two company commanders, Heidesen and Hansjia, also became regimental commanders.

However, there were still fifty warriors in the standing army who were gathered and guarded by Gao Ge under the personal command of Zhuoranama.

In the distance, the banner of the Yunzhong Army has been clearly visible, such as the swords and guns of the forest, the bright armor, and the ant-colony-like soldiers, have appeared within the visual range, and the mournful sound of the three-eyed military horn of the Yunzhong Army is heard in the wind, and the atmosphere is becoming more and more solemn!

At this moment, the military formation of the four cities that was a stone's throw behind the Weishan army column suddenly became agitated.

"Enemy attack! All formations turn!" A panicked shout came from the direction of the military formation of the Upper Four Cities.
