When the news of Yezhou being besieged, Xie Zhiyun did not let people send an army report to Wei Cang and Wei Ji.

The most important thing now is the war at the border pass, and no matter what happens in the city, it cannot shake the morale of the army.

Yezhou wanted to fight steadily and slowly, but the North Vietnamese army did not give them this opportunity.

Beginning on the second day, the Vietnamese army began to storm the city fiercely.

The war broke out in an instant.

Even in the Suguo Mansion, you can hear the soldiers on the other side of the city, fighting, wailing and roaring.

The flames of war burned so quickly that the newly erected South Square could no longer be used in an instant, because the South Gate was violently entered by the North Vietnamese Army, and the people were quite unsafe here.

Xie Zhiyun urgently transferred the room away from the south square and arranged it in the streets and alleys to the north, which made him feel a lot more relieved.

But the cruelty of war still exceeded her imagination.

On the first day, hundreds of soldiers defending the city died, and thousands were injured, and when night fell, Xie Zhiyun came to the garrison camp, and saw such a tragic scene.

She endured it without crying, and together with Ji Xiuxiu, Wei Ningshu and even Wei Ningan, she dressed the wounds of the soldiers, and several ladies of the general's family and the proprietors of the medicine hall also came.

But even then, there is a shortage of manpower.

They were busy all night, but the next morning came not dawn, but a new round of war.

After staying up like this for three or four days, Zhou Chenglin finally couldn't sit still, and led 5,000 cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy.

Although Wei Yao, who followed the expedition, was injured, the final result was not bad.

The North Vietnamese army temporarily recuperated and did not continue to attack the city.

Xie Zhiyun took advantage of this time to gather the people to come to the state pastor again.

Her hair was only in a bun and she was covered with a thick cloak, but she was stained with a lot of blood, and she didn't look as clean and tidy as before.

But her hands and face are clean, especially those eyes, which are still clear and bright, and people can't help but follow her gaze and listen to every word she says.

Xie Zhiyun looked at everyone and said: "Every day of defending the city, many soldiers are injured, although the city has allocated medicine in advance, but if it continues to be consumed like this, it will eventually run out of one day." ”

Speaking to the people, she has always been very straightforward, one saying one, two saying two, so that the people can understand.

"We need people who can help soldiers bandage their wounds, and we need people who can help learn how to concoct medicinal materials."

"Those who are willing to work can manage three meals a day, but I don't guarantee that the barracks will be safe."

Xie Zhiyun paused when she said this, and looked at the people who were looking up at her.

She took a half-step back and bowed deeply, her tone very sincere.

"Thank you in advance."

In times of such survival, the simplest truth is to work together.

Everyone does what they can to do what they can so that they can protect everyone to the greatest extent possible.

Before Xie Zhiyun could straighten his waist, he heard a young girl's voice below: "I can bandage." ”

Immediately afterward, a teenager shouted, "I can go and concoct medicinal materials." ”

Xie Zhiyun didn't stand up straight, she said, "Thank you." ”

This time, a lot of people were recruited, and Dr. Li and the old doctor picked and chose more than 20 ingenious girls to be doctors and temporarily learn to bandage wounds.

The rest of the people were to make rations, gather firewood, concoct medicinal materials, and repair the walls at night.

The whole Yezhou was in order all of a sudden.

Even the people who didn't come to help stayed at home honestly, and no one made trouble.

Under the shock of Zhou Chenglin, the North Vietnamese army was indeed honest for a few days, but only three or five days later, the North Vietnamese army began a new round of siege.

Xie Zhiyun was helping in the camp that day, and when he heard General Zhou's invitation, he went to the city wall with Cui Ji, Ji Xiuxiu and others.

On the city walls, it has long been lost its pre-war cleanliness.

The walls are now littered with discarded weapons, and the ground is mottled with blood.

The tooth wall of the city wall was mottled and broken, it was a trace of a rain of swords, and there was no way to repair it.

Seeing such devastation, Xie Zhiyun's expression remained unchanged, she came to the city tower and looked at Zhou Chenglin, who had gray hair.

The short half-month defense of the city seemed to consume his lifespan, making him look more and more old and tired.

Wei Yao was also on the city wall, he had just retreated from the front line, and he came quickly while wiping the blood from his cheek casually.

Zhou Chenglin looked at a few people, and he sighed.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and almost all the soldiers are wounded, and in this case, it is becoming more and more difficult to defend the city."

"And according to the report from the scouts, the Sima clan has increased its troops."

It turned out to be 30,000 people, and later transferred another 10,000 people, which was more than the defenders of Yezhou City, but it couldn't be attacked for half a month, and it seemed that Sima Ling was also in a hurry.

"How many?" Xie Zhiyun asked.

"Thirty thousand." Zhou Chenglin closed his eyes fiercely.

For a time, no one spoke in the tower.

Xie Zhiyun clenched her fists tightly, she took a deep breath, and said, "Let me think about it, we can't keep fighting them like this. ”

"Defending the city is a war of attrition, and we can't afford it."

Yes, because there is still a war at the border pass, and the military supplies of the Weijia Army are provided by themselves, and if this continues, sooner or later they will run out of oil and lamps, and they will not be able to support anything.

In this siege battle, the North Vietnamese army showed ambition and ruthlessness that could not be ignored, they did not want to show face, and now they did not even have slogans and excuses, and they attacked every day.

Groups of soldiers took turns to fight, and the iron-beaten people couldn't stand it.

This was even more violent than they had expected, Xie Zhiyun looked at Zhou Chenglin with a tired face: "Old general, if they increase by 30,000 people, then we ......"

"How much longer?"

"Maybe it's been less than three months."

The soldiers were tired, the men were tired, and the walls were scarred.

During this period, Zhou Chenglin led the pioneer battalion out of the city to make two surprise attacks, but the difference in numbers was huge, and they had little effect. Even if the opposing soldiers are sparse, they will be enough to crush them.

Xie Zhiyun whispered: "Old general, we must hold on." ”

She turned her head to look at Cui Ji: "Mother, we have to think of a way, we can't continue like this." ”

Cui Ji was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "Okay." ”

Xie Zhiyun's lips had long been chapped and peeled, but she couldn't care about these, she looked at Zhou Chenglin: "Old general, if you hold on a little longer, I will think of a way." ”

"There is no endless road to heaven, and we will not admit defeat to those who have no faith and no virtue."

Zhou Chenglin looked at her deeply and said in a deep voice: "Okay! ”
