Chapter 21: The Fall of Liucheng III

"Listen, everyone, no matter whether the rabbit cubs in the city attack tonight or not, you have to keep your eyes open and keep an eye on them. This is a war, and any mistake will make us doomed! So, cheer up and defend the city for Lao Tzu!" I saw a tall general wearing ice armor and a silver helmet pulling his throat and seriously inspecting it. Although the sky was dark, the torches made the soldiers of Beihai feel at ease.

"Old Zhao, you're very energetic! Come, let's have a drink!" Suddenly, a black-faced general appeared at the head of the East Gate City and threw a wine gourd in his hand to Zhao Leihu.

Zhao Leihu took the wine jug, and he was not polite, he took a big sip and praised it: "Good wine! Hahaha, Lao Zhang, what kind of medicine is your kid selling in this wine gourd today?"

"What kind of medicine? Meng sweat medicine! I said that Lao Tzu wants to invite you to drink a drink, what's wrong, do you have an opinion? If you don't drink it, quickly return the wine gourd to me!" The black-faced general deliberately stretched his face and stretched out his hand, wanting to take away the wine gourd in Zhao Leihu's hand.

"What are you doing? You still gasp for two sentences? Anyway, he is also a frontier official, the lord of a city, and he is so stingy. With such a fine wine, Zhao Leihu naturally did not give an inch, and firmly protected it in his arms.

Zhang Suo laughed and said, "You old drunkard, don't worry, no one will rob you." Come, drink one. ”

"Drink one!" Zhao Leihu and Zhang Suo touched the wine gourd, and then poured a few more sips.

After a few sips of wine, Zhang Suo's words gradually began to increase. He pointed to the Chengtian military camp not far from Liucheng, and said with a smile: "Old Zhao, the order given to me by His Majesty the King and the army commander is to let me defend Liucheng for ten days. However, you should know that just this morning, Commander Fang Dajue was shot down by Haravi, the commander of the Heavenly Dragon Legion of the Chengtian Empire on the opposite side, and the 30,000 brothers of the 27th Army were all annihilated by Chengtian's cavalry in just half a day, and there was not even a single survivor. Therefore, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold this Liucheng for ten days. ”

Zhao Leihu, who was on the rise, heard this, as if he had been poured cold water, and said with some displeasure: "I said Lao Zhang, although the enemy is menacing, but you also saw the battle in the afternoon." The soldiers of our army are brave and good at fighting, and they are all pure men who are not afraid of death. Besides, our Liucheng City has thick walls, and no matter how much their cavalry can jump, they can't take us. So, for a while, the wolf cubs outside the city can't get in for the time being. ”

However, Zhang Suo shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Old Zhao, have you ever thought that since Haravi can pick off Commander Fang with one shot. Then, his ability to fight bravely and well must be much stronger than ours. But today, he has suffered such a big loss so recklessly, is it really because of the underestimation of the enemy? Could there be any conspiracy behind this?"

Faced with Zhang Suo's question, Zhao Leihu was a little dizzy, and then said with a grin: "Lao Zhang, I said that you kid is multi-hearted. No matter what he cheats or not, the soldiers will block it, and the water will flood the earth, I can't do it, and his cavalry can still fly up!"

"Hmm. You're right. However, even if we can hold Liucheng, under the onslaught of the Chengtian army, the casualties of our soldiers defending the city will be very heavy. Moreover, even if our army can hold out for ten days, by that time, Liucheng will already be besieged by the Chengtian Army, and we will hardly have any strength left to break through. Therefore, this Liucheng is actually the place where you and my brother died. After Zhang finished speaking, his eyes were a little gloomy.

After Zhao Leihu heard this, he was also silent, suddenly raised the wine gourd, and said loudly: "Since I, Zhao Leihu, am here, I don't plan to go back alive." Anyway, it's brothers, live and die together. Isn't it just to keep Liucheng for ten days? Not only does Lao Tzu have to defend Liucheng for ten days, but I also have to pull out my teeth from the tiger's mouth, get in and out of this gang of wolf cubs, and kill him happily!"

"Yes, seven in and seven out, kill him and be happy!" Zhang said with great interest, drinking the wine in the gourd.

However, just when Zhang Suo and Zhao Leihu were full of emotion, Haravi began to act quietly.
