The golden crow on the horizon entered the horizon, and the rabbit hung high in the air and began its work, and in the night, the fire on the city was bright. But you can't see the soldiers patrolling everywhere from outside the city, if the camera turns to the inside of the city, you will find that every ten meters, there will be a soldier sitting against the wall under the battlements, although they are very relaxed, but their sharp eyes are always staring at the situation under the city wall, once the Bearded Man sneaks up at night, they will blow the wooden whistle hanging on their chests.

Wang Rong and several of his subordinates were holding a military discussion in a tent at the base of the city wall.

"Captain, we have 4,000 capable soldiers on our side, 300 soldiers killed in battle, and 200 lightly and seriously wounded. If we continue to consume it like this, this bearded human consumption will also consume us. Wu Mo, as the highest official in the scene, was the first to express his opinion, although he did not say all his thoughts, but the meaning was in place, that is, to ask for help, to Shuofang City and Hexi County for help.

Wang Rong looked at the people in the tent and said in a deep voice: "I have already sent a messenger to Shuofang City asking for help, and we will have to defend it for at least five days before the reinforcements arrive, so how to defend the city is the biggest problem we are facing now." ”

Meng Song nodded solemnly and agreed. The iron tower and the sledgehammer are expressionless, as long as they have a battle, someone kills, and a military merit.

Wu Xinghan frowned, the five hundred Linrong Township soldiers he brought with him, the training time was too short, and it was easy to be consumed when participating in this kind of city defense battle: "Du Wei, it's very passive to defend like this, we bring all new soldiers, and we don't know how much we can survive in the end." ”

Wang Rong looked at Wu Xinghan and said coldly: "Ci is not in charge of the troops, if the Bearded people break through the fortress, they will enter the inland of Pingchuan, and then everyone's father, mother, wife and children will be the spoils of the Bearded People." Thinking about the tragic situation over the years, it was the bloody man who picked up the knife in his hand and cut off the head of the man. ”

The generals nodded in agreement, they all knew it was a tough battle. Wu Mo asked cautiously, "Captain, when will the reinforcements from the general's side arrive at the earliest?" ”

Wang Rong looked at the generals and said: "I gave a suggestion to the general when I asked for help, I suggested that the general go to the grasslands outside the Wolf Mountain, block this army of the Devil Man in the canyon from behind, and destroy the new force of the Devil Man in one fell swoop." Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come. Cut off the claws of the Bearded Man that reached into Shuofang County. ”

"Whoa!" All the generals know the law and discipline in the army, and they also know the importance of secrecy. It is enough for the generals to know about this, and it is enough for the soldiers to follow orders.

The blood feud between the northern border counties of Dayong and the grassland people is unsolvable. The vast grassland is a place for the grassland tribes to survive and recuperate, but like the mother of the big river, the grassland is much harsher than the big river. The white disaster and the black disaster are major events related to the life and death of the grassland tribes.

The white plague, that is, the snow disaster, occurs in winter, and the large amount of snowfall for a long time causes a large area of snow to become a disaster, directly causing livestock to die of hunger and cold.

Black plagues, on the other hand, are the opposite of white plagues, which also occur in winter, but are long periods of little or no snow, resulting in water shortages and epidemics of livestock, which also directly cause the death of a large number of livestock.

At this time, the steppe tribes would migrate southward and plunder southward, mainly targeting population and food. In the northern border of Yongguo, Jiguo, and Youguo, a lot of blood debts were caused.

Looking back at Saicheng, the sun was rising, and the sun was shining on Wang Rong's face, warm. But the warm sunlight could not dispel the blood beneath the city, and the bearded soldiers stepped on the muddy and dark red earth, and quickly approached the city wall.

The bearded soldiers quickly walked through the battlefield under the shouts of the officers, and the surging crowd was like a huge wave crashing on the rooster wall, stirring up countless waves.

The fierce drums of war resounded on the city walls, and the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion vigorously waved their drumsticks, again and again, and struck them heavily on the war drums.

"Knock-" "Knock-" "Knock-"

The rousing drums beat again and again on the hearts of the soldiers of the Governor's Mansion.

Wu Mo raised the long knife in his hand, looked up to the sky and roared angrily, "I am mighty!! ”

"Mighty !!"

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion around him slammed their spears against the hard stone bricks, and the spears collided with the stone bricks with a crisp sound.

The soldiers outside the city tried hard to climb towards the top of the city, and in the earth-shattering shouts of killing, the rolling wood and stones were thrown down continuously, and the hot gold juice emitted a foul smell and splashed on the body of the man. Shouts and wails resounded throughout the chicken.

Wang Rong's eyes were staring at the outside of the city seriously, he carefully observed the battle situation, the fighting in the city has not stopped, and the four thousand defenders are divided into groups to defend in rotation, but the tragic battle of defending the city is still too cruel for the recruits of the Governor's Mansion, and many soldiers have psychological problems. This is something that cannot be dealt with by military law, and Wang Rong knows that the easiest and most direct way to sort out these psychological problems is to let them release this psychological pressure, which must be like a female lu, that is, a camp prostitute. But Wang Rong would not do this, and he hated this system very much from later generations.

Meng Song squatted beside Wang Rong, gasping for breath, he had been guarding the city wall for a whole day, just four hours on this day, the Badbeard people launched six waves of attacks, but due to the limitation of siege equipment, their siege effect was not good. Hundreds of corpses had to be left behind in each attack, and at the end of the day, nearly 3,000 corpses were lying beneath the walls.

"Woo-" "Woo-" "Woo-"

Three long, dull wooden whistles sounded over the city, the news of the retreat of the enemy army from the scouts. Wang Rong looked out through the shooting holes in the battlements, and took advantage of the evening sunlight to take in the scene outside the city.

Colorful crowds of people surged into the distance, and the corpses of the city were piled up more than a foot. Wang Rong frowned and said to Meng Song: "These corpses can't just be left like this, the weather is hot, and it is very tolerant of plague, which is very bad for us. ”

"Captain, please." Meng Song bowed his hand and saluted.

"Set a fire down the city and burn all the corpses." Wang Rong could only use fire oil to burn the corpse. Fire oil is expensive, and Wang Rong has no choice but to do this.

"Captain, the corpses of the brethren have been collected." Wu Xinghan ran over panting and said.

Wang Rong helped Meng Song up and said, "Let's go, send the brothers on the road." ”

Wang Rong led the two men down the city wall to the school yard in the city, where rectangular pyres had been built on which the corpses of fallen soldiers were placed. Wang Rong looked at these young faces, these township soldiers are the pillars of each family, they have sprinkled their blood here for their families, for their own generals, and today he came to see them off.

The first was the guard Luan Shu who was personally recruited by Wang Rong, he was a native of Luan City, and when he saw him for the first time, Wang Rong clearly remembered that he was so thin, more than 70 meters tall, as thin as a hemp rod, as if the wind would take him away when it blew. And the strong contrast is his eyes, the whites of the bloodshot eyes reveal a fierce expression of not admitting defeat.

Now he was lying there quietly, and his body was no longer as thin as before, but a little stronger, but there was still a gap between him and Wang Rong's requirements.

Wang Rong took the torch from Wumo's hand, and he threw the torch into the fire under Luan Shu's body, and the firewood poured with fire oil was instantly ignited, and the flames devoured Luan Shu's body.

Wang Rong gave a military salute and roared, "Salute!" Brothers! Let's go! ”

"Whoa!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!"

Except for the soldiers who were on duty on the city wall, the rest of the soldiers were here, lined up in a phalanx, and saluted one after another, and the sound of the friction of the nail leaves resounded throughout the school field. Piles of torches were lit, and the soldiers present were in tears, and it was their comrades, their brothers, their relatives and friends who were incinerated and who collected the corpses with their own hands and put the corpses together.

"Meng Song, arrange people, collect the ashes of the fallen soldiers, and send the ashes to their families when the time comes." Among the generals under Wang Rong, Meng Song is the most thoughtful person, and it is most appropriate to give him this task.

"Whoa!" Meng Song said loudly.
