"Fauber, what's going on out there now?" Yun Xue was walking back and forth in the room of the Luoxia Pavilion, and as soon as she saw Fu Bo coming in from outside, she hurriedly asked.

"Girl, don't worry, the situation outside is fine. Lord Zhizhou has mobilized the people in the city to help defend the city on the city wall, and General Han led people to guard the south city gate. At this moment, Dongyi has already attacked under the city wall, the city wall of the state city is relatively high, and it is still easier to defend the city, so it seems that there will be no problem for the time being. As long as you can hold out until the general comes back, you should be fine. Fu Bo hurriedly said to Yun Xue.

"Girl, you can rest assured, although there are not many troops in the state city, it is not a problem to hold it for three or five days. By that time, the general will always come back. Besides, aren't the imperial court's reinforcements coming soon? Aunt Fu also persuaded on the side.

Yun Xue nodded, although she was still a little worried in her heart, but this was not in the village after all, and she didn't want to run to the city wall impulsively. Besides, at this time, she may not be able to make much of a difference. It's better to wait at home and think about what you can do to help.

"Aunt Fu, let the kitchen hurry up and make something, don't be too troublesome, just eat conveniently. It's almost noon, so I have to find a way to get some food and send it to the front. "Yun Xue can't think of anything else for the time being, only this.

"It's simple, don't worry, girl, I'll go." Aunt Fu nodded, and then left.

"Try to block the news, don't let the subordinates over there in Liuyun Pavilion talk nonsense, Jinxiu is pregnant now, let her know it's not good." Yun Xue commanded again. Yun Zhen is guarding the city outside, if Jinxiu learns about the situation outside, she will definitely be worried, she can't worry too much about it now.

"Girl, let the slave go." Rulan listened, and hurriedly went out of the house, she was the big girl next to Yunxue, and it was the easiest to talk in Liuyun Pavilion.

Aunt Fang was also here, and seeing Yun Xue like this, Aunt Fang couldn't help but persuade a few words, "Girl, let's let people clean up first." Before leaving, the general said that if there was danger, let the guards protect the girl's family and leave the state city. The girl was injured in the first place, and now that her vitality has not recovered, she still has to plan early. ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "Auntie, I believe in Zhiyuan, and I also believe in Yun Zhen, they will have a way." It's not yet time to leave, and besides, with so many people here, how can I leave on my own? Let's wait a little longer, it's okay. Yun Xue's temper came up again, no matter how she agreed at the beginning, when it came to the end, Yun Xue was unwilling to leave.

Aunt Fang couldn't help but shake her head, before coming here, the queen mother had said that this Han girl had a very stubborn temper. I saw it yesterday, and I didn't think anything about it, but I didn't expect to see it today. "Since the girl has made a decision, the slave and maid will not be persuaded. The guards who sent the slaves and maids were all in the other courtyard, and even if there was really something, they would definitely be able to protect the girl's family. ”

"Auntie, let those guards help defend the city, I will protect my younger siblings myself. The children in the family, except for Yunxia, who is too young and doesn't know kung fu, is Yunni, and it is not something that ordinary people can get close to. Besides, there is my master, so I don't need to be guarded. Yun Xue felt that there was no need for that.

Aunt Fang really convinced the person in front of her, this stubborn temper is really terrible. "Girl, how can you do that? When the slave and maid were leaving, the king of the county specially told him to protect the safety of the girl's family. ”

Yun Xue shook her head, "Auntie, under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" If the city can't be defended, our family will inevitably suffer, and it is important to defend the city. ”

Aunt Fang couldn't screw Yun Xue, so she had to agree, "Okay, I'll go talk to those guards." "She is a slave, no matter what her identity is, in front of Yun Xue, she is still a slave, so she naturally wants to listen to Yun Xue. Moreover, Aunt Fang also felt that what Yun Xue said was quite right, so it was better to do what Yun Xue said.

There were a lot of people in the capital this time, and the queen, Yunlin, and the old lady of the Guogong Mansion all sent people over. can come from the capital to do things, all of them are good. A total of one hundred and fifty people, all of whom were moved by Aunt Fang's words to help defend the city. At the same time, Yun Xue also asked the guards and young subordinates in the courtyard to bring weapons to defend the city.

Shen Hongjun lives in the state city, and he can be said to be the biggest official in the state city, and all the officials in the state city are always paying attention to the movements of the other courtyard. At this moment, I saw the guards in the other courtyard pouring out, and all of them went to help defend the city. In the state city, many officials also sent all their guards and servants out to help with the defense.

After all, it is a state town, and there are many rich and powerful families. Lord Zhizhou sent people to mobilize, saying that they would let those rich and noble families all send their own people to help defend the city. These big families also know that once the city is breached, the first to suffer are the rich people. What did Dongyi attack the Great Zhou for? Isn't it robbing the money and materials of the Great Zhou? Naturally, they are the richest, how can they escape? So every family did not dare to slack off, and they all brought their men to the city wall.

In this way, not counting ordinary people, three or four thousand people have already been assembled. With the help of these three or four thousand people, the pressure on the defense on the city wall was greatly reduced, and Yun Zhen and the others were a little relieved.

In the kitchen of the annex, more than a dozen cooks are busy. Yun Xue said that it was to make some things that took a short time and were convenient to eat, and the cooks unanimously decided to make pancakes. So, the division of labor among the many people, the dough, the bread rolling, and the baking of bread did not stop in their hands. The baked bread was thrown like snowflakes in the big basket that had been prepared in advance.

Yun Xue also came over to help with the girls in the house, and there was not enough space in the big kitchen, so she was busy in the small kitchen of Luoxia Pavilion. After more than half an hour, four or five baskets of bread were baked. The people in the kitchen were still busy, so Yun Xue ordered to send these cakes to the front first. Later, it will be branded out and then sent, mainly to let the sergeants defending the city find a way to take a time to eat a bite.

The annex sent food to the south city one after another, and it was naturally seen by people with a heart. At this time, the hostesses of the various provinces realized that the people guarding the city also needed to eat. As a result, the provinces took action, made a large amount of food, and sent it to the front.

There are about thirty or forty thousand Dongyi soldiers below. Last night, when Shen Liang led people towards the county seat, the movement was slightly louder, so he was discovered by the other side. Dongyi's generals decisively led troops to attack the state city, trying to take advantage of this opportunity to take the state city. However, although there were not many troops in the state city, the guards were extremely tight. Before they could get closer, they were discovered, and then they were directly confronted with an overwhelming array of feathered arrows.

There are also archers on Dongyi's side, but the siege of the city is different from the defense of the city, and the bow and arrow cause less harm to the defenders. Although Dongyi's troops were sufficient, it was still difficult to break through the city in the face of the towering walls of the state city and the Great Zhou soldiers who were waiting on it.

From dawn to the beginning of the siege, four hours had passed. There are many Dongyi soldiers below, thirty or forty thousand people are divided into several times, and they take turns to attack the city, but the Great Zhou soldiers on the city wall can only hold on. In this way, the soldiers of the guards were really physically exhausted.

Fortunately, Shen Hongjun asked Dong Lao to help make a lot of poisons, all of which were smeared on the bow and arrow. All Dongyi soldiers who were hit by poisoned arrows, regardless of the severity of their injuries, would die due to the onset of the toxin. Therefore, the losses of the Dongyi soldiers below were not light, and their offensive gradually slowed down.

The Dongyi offensive gradually slowed down, the pressure on the city was reduced a lot, and everyone could finally take a breath. At this time, food was brought from all the houses, and it was piled up like a hill. Yun Zhen then instructed that the food should be divided and everyone would take the time to eat a little.

Fortunately, the bread and the like were basically delivered, and everyone took one each, and ate the bread in a few bites before the next wave of siegers arrived. With something in their stomachs, everyone's spirits were naturally much better, and everyone shouted, "Brothers, our fathers and fellow villagers are so kind, if we can't hold the city, how can we be worthy of the support of the people?" All of them used their strength to eat, and they resolutely couldn't let those bitches under them attack. ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and their voices resounded in the sky. The soldiers and the people who defended the city were all excited, and they all felt that they had strength all over their bodies.

This is the difference between defending the land and defending the country and the invaders. Whether it is soldiers or civilians, they are all defending their homes. When the homeland on which they live is faced with a great crisis, people often have the unparalleled potential to fight to the death against all the invaders who try to invade and destroy the homeland.

The crowd in the city was excited, and everyone seemed to have just begun to fight, and they tried their best to resist the invaders.

At this time, Shen Hongjun and his men and horses were already getting closer and closer to the state city. On this day and night, the soldiers rushed back and forth, and they were already tired, but for the safety of the state city, no matter how tired they were, they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

In the other direction, the 80,000 reinforcements from the capital are gradually approaching the state capital. Yesterday at noon, they met with the person who had returned to Beijing to report the news, and learned that Changbai County was trapped. The general who led the troops immediately gave the order, and the cavalry in front quickly galloped to help, and the infantry in the rear also increased their speed, running all the way towards the state city.

Two groups of reinforcements came outside the state city almost at the same time. Shen Hongjun brought nearly 10,000 people, and the reinforcements of the imperial court were also more than 10,000 people.

On the city wall, Yun Zhen saw the reinforcements coming, and his heart was overjoyed. "Open the city gate, let's go out and have a good time."
