Murong Huan was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Sun Yike, Sun Yike! This king really doubts that you and the old gentleman are the same person! It's too similar...... It's so similar!"

When he said the second "too similar", a touch of worry suddenly appeared on Murong Huan's face, and his eyebrows were tightly locked.

Sun Yike knew that this was because Murong Huan was worried about the old man's safety. The Nansang army is approaching the city, if the old gentleman has nothing to do, he should have arrived in Ninghai Mansion long ago. There is only one explanation for the current situation, that is, the old gentleman is trapped by people and cannot get out.

Murong Huan's worries flashed away, and then he asked the old gentleman to take his favorite "Mirror Lake Song" and asked Sun Yike to try it.

As the name suggests, "Mirror Lake Song" is a wine made from the water of Mirror Lake. This wine is different from ordinary small koji, full of materials, takes a long time, and is specially selected to be brewed with Jinghu stream water.

Sun Yike was careful to get a cup, and when he took a sip, it was soft and refreshing, and it was elegant and fragrant, so he couldn't help but pour another glass......

Since the fire at Xingzhai Station, he rarely drank alcohol, and often blamed himself for being drunk and misleading. Actually, this matter was not originally bad for Sun Yike. Even if he arrived in time, it was too late to stop the thieves from setting fire to the station.

In the past two days, it has been a mixed bag. I am happy to confirm that Shen Mu is safe and sound, and the guilt in my heart is finally much less. The worry is that now the Nansang army is besieging the city, and Shen Mu and others are also trapped by the Nansang army, and their resourcefulness is limited, so they really don't know what to do.

Take the retreat the night before, if it weren't for the way to retreat explained on the cloth, Murong Jun would probably be dragged to death and then at Grandma Ridge. The strategy of marching and fighting is easy to read, but when you really want to use it, you don't know how to choose.

Half a pot of wine in his stomach, Sun Yike was a little confused, although this wine was good, it was full of stamina.

Half-drunk and half-awake, Sun Yike's head also turned extremely fast. Maybe he lived too long in this drunken dream, or maybe it was because the alcohol stimulated his brain.

What Murong Huan said again, Sun Yi couldn't hear it very clearly, but he seemed to be able to understand the current situation better. The map of Ninghai that I saw the day before yesterday was clearly displayed in front of me. Where there are mountains, where there are rivers, you can see it at a glance!

Sun Yike shook his head and raised his voice: "Nansang came too quickly, I'm afraid the prince hasn't had time to warn the outside world, so he can only transfer troops to defend the city in a hurry, the state capitals are not aware of the crisis, and there are no reinforcements in the court." The most important thing now is to defend Ninghai, and at the same time to pass on the information that Nansang was besieged. Prince, in the view of the grass people, can send a team of elite soldiers to steal out of the city by night, ambush near the cauldron mountain and Xingshan, and wait for tomorrow when Nansang attacks the city, set a fire on the two mountains, the Nansang army sees the fire, and will definitely send people to explore, and the ambush army will cut off the horses, and Nansang will be even more suspicious, so as to delay the enemy's attack on the city. After setting the fire, it was immediately divided into four ways to ask for help, three of which went to Guzhou, Dingzhou, and Sizhou to mobilize government troops to come. In addition, he quickly rode all the way to the Nanda Camp in Zhenjiang Prefecture, and urgently transferred the officers and troops of the Nanda Battalion to aid Ninghai. ”

Murong Huan was puzzled: "The Nansang army is besieging the city on all sides, how can it get out of the city." ”

Sun Yike said: "This is not difficult, the grass people saw the map of Ninghai a few days ago, and saw that the Sui River drifted through the northwest of Ninghai, and a tributary of the Sui River is connected to the waterway of the inner city of Ninghai, and the waterway is connected to the northwest of the city wall, where there should be a gate. As long as you choose a sergeant with better water ability and smuggle out of the city from there, the Nansang army will definitely not know. In order to cover them, the grass people also suggested that the defenders of the southeast gate should be called to sing loudly and make it look like they were going to attack the Nansang camp at night to divert their attention......"

Murong Huan listened, called someone to get the map of Ninghai, took a closer look, and as Sun Yike said, he hurriedly ordered Liu Ziang to come, according to Sun Yike's strategy, he ordered so and so, and finally said: "This operation is very difficult and dangerous, Ziang must be cautious!"

Liu Ziang clenched his fists and said: "The last general will take orders!"

There are not many words, but what he says is full of confidence.

Murong Huan nodded and said, "Go ahead and prepare." This king has told you to wait out of the city!"

That night, Murong Huan came to the southeast gate of Ninghai City in person, and the army made a noise, shouting and killing, and the sound shook Hongyu.

The Nansang army did not know whether it was true or false, and transferred two battalions of sergeants to guard against it. I didn't see that Murong Jun had only been making noise for half an hour, and then there was no more sound.

The provoked Nansang Army scolded loudly, and he was even more angry and released a burst of rockets. However, the night is not conducive to conquering the city, and the anger can only be angry!

At three o'clock the next day, after the Nansang army rewarded the army again. The attack on the second day began.

The war drums thundered, and when he was about to march, he suddenly reported that wolf smoke had been released in several mountains and forests behind the army, and I don't know if there was an ambush army ambushing in the mountains and forests.

In order to be cautious, Miao Bokang postponed the siege. Let's go and find out first. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, I didn't see the horse come back. I had to send 5,000 troops and horses to the forest to deal with it.

After waiting for another hour, it was almost noon for the five thousand horses to return intact. The report said that there was no trace of the two mountains, presumably a wildfire accidentally ignited by hunters or farmers.

After this trouble, the morale of the sergeants had declined, and they had to temporarily order a rest.

It was not until less than three moments before the Nansang army resumed attacking the city. However, in order to prevent the ambush of the army, only half of the men and horses were used in the siege.

The siege continued, Murong Huan dispatched troops, the two armies fought four times in one afternoon, and when the Nansang army withdrew, the blood on the city wall was coagulated, pieces of black and purple, which was terrifying, the corpses under the city were piled up into a mountain, the moat had no flowing water, and the dead corpses were piled up and filled the river.

The casualties of the Murong army were also extremely heavy, and more than 20,000 soldiers were lost by 30%.

At this time, it was only a seriously injured soldier, which made medical care indispensable. The lightly wounded soldiers bandaged their wounds, and when they saw Murong Huan patrolling, those lightly wounded soldiers were busy standing with guns and saluting Murong Huan.

Murong Huan hurriedly motioned for them to sit down, and raised his voice, "Everyone...... Everyone is good!" He couldn't find any words at this time in the face of these Yunzhao men who fought for their lives, but the more simple words they were, the more they could make everyone's hearts boil.

Everyone brushed and said: "I am willing to live and die with Ning Hai." ”

Murong Huan was silent, and a line of tears couldn't stop flowing.

Murong Huan knew that he was the commander-in-chief, and he really shouldn't cry at this time. But seeing this hellish battlefield on earth, facing these brothers who fell to death with their birth and death one by one in a pool of blood, how could they stop their tears.

Murong Huan's heart ached, war only brought killing. These people were supposed to guard one acre and three points of land, plant crops, accompany their wives and children, enjoy life, and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the remnant sun slanting westward. But because of the fame and fortune in the court, he will soon die on the battlefield. It is said that soldiers are shrouded in horse leather, but in the face of death, people who know each other die one by one, even if they are brave and unintentional, they will inevitably mourn.

The Nansang army continued to attack the city, and on the third day, more than 20 trebuchets created by Nansang joined the battle group.

Miao Bokang put all the long-prepared burning stones into Ninghai City. In just half a day, more than half of the houses in the city have been burned down, and the people have been killed and injured.

Murong Huan urgently ordered Guo Tianxu to put out the fire with the government soldiers, but where could he save it. The entire Ninghai City was full of wailing, rolling waves of fire, burning half of the sky.

Here again, it was reported that the northwest corner of the city wall smashed a gap, and the northern army was swarming in, and Murong Huan personally led five hundred people to block the gap. During the fight, Murong Huan was careless, and was stabbed in the left shoulder with a shot by a Nansang soldier, and the generals hurriedly came to the rescue.

Murong Huan was old and strong, waved his knife and cut down the little soldier, and ordered everyone to focus on plugging the gap.

Seeing that the Nansang army was coming like a wave, the soldiers of the Murong army had to fill it with their lives. Carrying dirt and sandbags, he climbed up the gap and rubble without regard for his life.

Yun Zhaojun fell in pieces, using his own life, mixed with dirt and sandbags, to form a thick city wall......

After a killing battle, the gap was blocked, and only about a dozen of the five hundred strong men survived.

Yu Yonghe heard that Murong Huan led his troops into battle, and hurriedly cooperated with Guo Tianxu to lead three hundred villagers to help.

These 300 people are young and strong men in Ninghai City, seeing the army fighting, they are eager to serve the country, and they take the regiment to the gate of the government to join the army.

As soon as the three hundred people arrived in front of the town, they couldn't help but shudder at the pile of corpses like hills in the gap, and their legs went limp. Fortunately, with the support of a passionate heart, he did not turn around and run away.

Yu Yonghe saw that Murong Huan was injured, and hurriedly led people to carry him off the battlefield. This "in-law" of his own must not be lost, otherwise, Yu Yu will marry in the past, and it is meaningless!

Guo Tianxu led these 300 aspiring young people to rebuild the gaps in the city wall.

Night came again, and the day's offensive and defensive battles were over.

Murong Huan lay on the collapse and listened to the general's report, and was silent for a long time. I don't know how long it took before Murong Huan said slowly: "The generals will work hard, rest first." If Ziang goes well, reinforcements should arrive soon. ”

These are words of comfort to the generals, as well as words of comfort to oneself. Murong Huan knew in his heart that now the troops in Xishan Daoli were not enough, and the imperial court intended to suppress the four towns, and Murong Huan had already cut half of the original nearly 100,000 troops in the feudal towns in order to avoid being slandered by those who had a heart in the temple. At this time, there were less than 50,000 people, more than 10,000 in Dingnanguan Murong Hui, and 20,000 in Ninghai City. The remaining 10,000 or so troops need to be guarded against each pass, which is already dwarfed.

As for the government army of the five states, in terms of combat strength and armament, it was far inferior to the feudal army and the central army. At this time, it is impossible for the states to exhaust the source of government soldiers, otherwise...... Once all of the Ninghai line is lost, the other four states will be an empty city.

Now the only thing that can be relied on is tens of thousands of military horses in the southern battalion of the Central Army in Zhenjiang Prefecture. However, Ninghai is far from Zhenjiang, back and forth, and the march is slow, so it will take half a month. In other words, Ninghai Mansion will hold on for at least half a month.

However, it is still unknown whether it will last for ten days.

The generals retreated, and Murong Huan was worried.

What a Nansang, he was able to cross the sea and secretly cross the swamp!

Murong Huan lay on the soft couch, calculating the opportunity. Suddenly, a spring breeze blew and knocked on the windowsill. The night breeze was slightly cold, Murong Huan got up and came to the window, and carefully pulled one hand to the window.

The moment the window closed, I suddenly heard a "meow", and a black cat tiptoed from the wall, jumping lightly!
