At the head of the west city, just after the end of the day's defense of the city, it was the most tiring moment, but it was also the most relaxing moment, but the whole city was filled with a sad atmosphere, and the atmosphere was particularly solemn and low.

The evacuation of the first batch of people in the county, these people naturally saw it, and they were still carrying bags on their backs, what could it be if they didn't leave the city to evacuate.

"Lieutenant Tong. Zhang Qianjian looked at the people in the city, shouting to Lieutenant Tong, his voice was a little low, without the previous thickness, and he looked a little weak.

"The lowly duty is here, the old rules are old, and the lowly duty knows what to do. Lieutenant Tong replied in a low voice.

After arranging the evacuation of the people in the city, County Lieutenant Tong returned to the city, and at this time he naturally thought that what the county commander said was as usual.

However, no, Zhang Qianjian shook his head: "No, I asked you to gather the soldiers from the city, I have something to say." ”

Hearing this, the county lieutenant was obviously stunned for a moment, and then nodded in response: "Yes." ”

The sound of the order of the county lieutenant Tong instantly broke the sad atmosphere of this moment, a burst of footsteps sounded, the order was forbidden, even if it was just after the battle, the soldiers came to Zhang Xianling's body at the fastest speed and stood up.

Zhang Qianjian's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and under the flickering light of the torches, the faces of the soldiers looked a little uncertain, and he was trying his best to remember the faces of every guard here.

There are the original Yulin guards, as well as the young men in the city who joined later, as well as the 300 Xizhui troops who came with Zhang Qianjian's county order, and the 1,000 mountain bandits who were accepted on the road.

No matter who it is, no matter what kind of identity, in this nearly two-month battle to defend the city, they all wholeheartedly maintain the peace and stability of Yulin City.

Some people are tired, some people are sick and have not recovered so far, some people have paid for their lives and slept here, and the rest of the people still hold on and have survived.

But the moment the people in the city began to evacuate, they no longer seemed to have the ability to survive, which Zhang Qianjian knew very well.

It didn't take much time, and after every guard looked at it, Zhang Qianjian said: "Everyone has worked hard, sit down, let's sit down and talk." The tone was calm.

Everyone looked around and sat down under the order of Zhang County's order.

"If there are family members of soldiers in the city, raise your hand and let me take a look. Zhang Qianjian sat cross-legged in front of the soldiers, his face was not as serious as before, and asked with a faint smile.

Obviously, everyone didn't know why the adults asked this question, and they were a little surprised, but they raised their hands one by one, including the county lieutenant and others.

"Seven or eight times out of ten, there are families in the city. Zhang Qianjian said with a sigh.

The crowd was still confused.

Before he could react, Zhang Qianjian threw out an even more shocking sentence: "This city can't be defended." ”

The simple six words, listening to everyone's ears, are tantamount to thunder, and the county lieutenant Tong, who has known about this for a long time, is even more puzzled, I don't know why the county commander chose tonight to say such a demoralizing word.

"My lord, this shouldn't be!" The first person expressed his surprise in words, and then another person said, "Yes, judging from the situation today, the offensive of these monsters is obviously smaller." ”

"Let's grit our teeth and persevere, it shouldn't be a problem to keep it. While saying this, several people subconsciously glanced in the direction of His Royal Highness the Prince, obviously pouring hope into him, Bai Shaoxia.

"The city gate is damaged, and it will be at least three or four days before the monsters break down the gate and enter. ”

Zhang Qianjian's words fell, and the voices of the gossiping soldiers stopped abruptly, most of them stood on the spot, and some of them didn't know what to say with their mouths half open.

The city gate was broken, but the city was still guarded, the answer was obviously no, and the reason why they were able to defend it to this day was nothing more than relying on this city wall.

The atmosphere became unprecedentedly solemn in an instant, and everyone's complexion changed significantly, and they lowered their heads and hung their heads.

"What are you doing? Are you so deflated? Where is the morale of the blood and qi that has been fighting these monsters for nearly two months, and the people in the city, your families, don't need your protection?"

Zhang Qianjian's mouth kept talking, the faster he spoke, and finally said loudly: "This city! We have to continue to defend it!"

After Zhang Qianjian's words, the soldiers' emotions obviously became higher.

"We can't gamble, let's take the shortest time of three days, we still need to hold on to this city for three days, and seek as much time as possible for the people in the city to retreat. ”

After the last sentence was explained, everyone fell silent, thousands of people had different faces, and Zhang Qianjian couldn't know what everyone was thinking, but he knew that what he said just now should be useful.

Since the people in the city have been evacuated, since they have all been discovered, it is better to uncover this layer as soon as possible than to wait for the morale of the soldiers to be low and struggling to support, so that they know that the difficulties are in front of them, and they will stick to it for the sake of their parents, wives and children.

This is Zhang Qianjian's purpose, and it is also the reason why he chose to communicate with these people tonight.

"My lord, what about the reinforcements, what about our reinforcements?" said a very bold guard, who asked something that some people wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

The atmosphere in the arena instantly became a little stiff, and County Lieutenant Tong got up and wanted to say something, but he heard Zhang Qianjian already speak: "I don't know what is wrong with the reinforcements, so far they haven't come, as for the rest of the days, it depends on the will of God." ”

No one would take such an ethereal statement of providence to heart, and things have reached the point where they are today, and it is useless to think about them. Recuperate at night, cope with tomorrow's defense of the city, and return to reality.

A slightly solemn night passed like this.

From the early morning of the next day, more and more people were evacuated from the city, and as the day passed, the next day, all the people in the city had been evacuated one after another.

Lieutenant Tong stood at the head of the city and began to cheer everyone up while patrolling, the people in the city have successfully retreated, we only need to hold on for a day, tomorrow and night, while the monster army is resting, the soldiers can also evacuate safely.

The soldiers who persevered until now finally saw hope, and stayed up until noon on the third day, when a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the city, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately leaned down on the head of the city and looked down, only to see that the city gate was crooked.

One of the guards hurriedly ran to the city with both hands and feet, and when he saw the county commander, he said, "My lord, the city gate, the city gate is about to break!"

"Fear ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for half an hour. ”

Suddenly, Zhang Qianjian was shocked, could this be the will of heaven?
