CHAPTER XLVI

The Jin soldiers attacked in the middle of the night.

Not long after dark, their scouts had already detected that their large force had arrived at the fort and occupied the Ruoqiang River, but they insisted on delaying the attack until the early morning of the second day, just so that they would have a moment to rest.

Their attack was so fierce that their bows and arrows on the walls could not be suppressed at all. General Ye Lao stood on the city wall with his sword and watched the attacking army in front of him, and with an order, a fireball was released from behind him, repelling the first wave of the enemy's attack.

Shen Yuan sat in the official post under the city wall and looked at the statistical list of materials in the city, and the materials that could be used in the city could not last for three days. Ye An and the others took away a large amount of materials left in the city, and he needed to make careful arrangements to make the most of the materials.

Sanshun helped him hold the lamp next to Shen Yuan, listening to the sound of fighting outside the city wall, his legs trembled, and his heart was very panicked, these scenes he had never seen before.

The first wave of the enemy's attack retreated, General Ye Lao retreated from under the city wall to rest, and after a day's breath of relief, General Ye Lao's footsteps were a little vain, and Wang Hu helped people back.

"General, you still have to pay attention to your body."

Wang Hu looked at General Ye Lao with a worried expression, in the big battle three years ago, General Ye Lao was so seriously injured, and his health was not as good as before. It was also because of this that he handed over the military power to General Ye An.

"Vice General Wang, you go to the front and keep an eye on it, General Ye has me here."

Wang Hu nodded at Shen Yuan, and went up to the city wall again to star.

General Ye knew his own body, and he was not reckless, so he sat on the couch and continued to look at the map.

"General Ye, I just took a look, and the supplies in the city are only enough for three days."

Shen Yuan handed the roster in his hand to General Ye, he flipped through it and stroked his beard.

"In three days, they should be able to return in a hurry."

General Ye Lao pointed to the location of the map, which was exactly where Ye An and the others were at this moment. It's just that you have to hold on for these three days no matter what.

"General, they attacked so desperately, our men were tossed a lot."

Ye Wu reported to Ye An, full of anger.

"Is there any news from Ye Zheng and the border city?"

Ye Wu shook his head. Ye Anxin was puzzled, Zha Hu and them must have some plan to drag them despite the huge consumption of their bodies, but at the moment, the news from the outside could not come in at all.

"You take a team of people out of the northwest corner to find out the news outside!"

Ye Wu nodded and took the order, if something happened, they would immediately counterattack.

Ye Zheng led the men and horses around the large army of Zahuhe, and cautiously arrived behind them, looking for an opportunity.

Zahuhe attached great importance to grain and grass and sent heavy troops to guard it. They couldn't find a chance for a while.

It was soon dawning, and they repelled the second wave of the Jinren's attack. Many brothers on the city wall were wounded, Su Zhao led people to transport the wounded soldiers down, and the brothers who were not seriously injured bandaged nearby.

In previous years, he had traveled around the doctor, and he had seen many incurable diseases, but this was the first time he had faced so many injured people who were bloodied, moaning, and might leave the next moment. He didn't understand why Senior Brother Su Li would stay in the Ye family army willingly, and he faced the same sword wounds every day. If you want to improve your medical skills, you still need to see more and treat more and understand more about different diseases.

After just one night, he changed his mind about Senior Brother Su Li. The soldiers who were defending the city on the battlefield one second could be mortally wounded the next. He didn't save a life, he saved the hero who defended this city, and saved everyone's hope to live.

The Jin soldiers outside failed to capture it after attacking twice, and they were angry and rode under the city gate and scolded, their Chinese language was not standard, but the tone of those scolding words was particularly clear. The soldiers guarding the city wall were angry when they heard this, and their hands holding their swords were clenched tightly, and their eyes were round.

Wang Hu stood behind him and patted him on the shoulder, telling him not to care, these people just wanted to provoke them, not to fall for their tricks.

Yisha, who was stationed not far away, was losing his temper in the camp.

"What are you guys of waste for? It took two sieges of a city to take it. ”

Zahuhe only gave him three days, and he had to take the border city within three days

"General, their defense is really powerful, and they can't attack it for a while."

"If you can't attack it, you can find a way!" Yi Sha was so angry that he grabbed the cup in his hand and smashed it, and the lieutenant couldn't dodge it, so he was forced to suffer.

These 50,000 people have been planning for three years, and Zha Huhe sent him out with these people to give himself a chance to make meritorious contributions. There are only 10,000 guards in the border city, and they have a good chance of winning. Yi Sha calmed down and continued to make a battle plan.

When Ye Wu found Ye Zheng, she was seriously injured and was being bandaged, and Vice General Liu Ying beside her explained to Ye Wu again.

On that day, they received a letter from General Ye Lao and immediately sent people to reinforce the Ruoqiang River, but at this moment, the turmoil that broke out in the city, many people hid among the people, and none of them injured Ye Zheng. After dealing with the turmoil in the city, when they went to the Ruoqiang River, the Jin people had already arrived at the Ruoqiang River, they were defeated by many people, and Ye Zheng was also seriously injured.

"Big brother!" Ye Zheng's voice came out from inside, and Ye Wu and Liu Ying walked into the tent.

"Grandpa, they are still in the border city, and there are not enough guards in the city, so tell your uncle quickly and ask him to send someone to rescue them."

Ye Wu patted her on the shoulder and told her to rest, and then sent someone to send a letter to Ye An as soon as possible, but since they rushed out, the Jin people's attacks have become more and more fierce.

They almost fought to the death, launching a round of attacks every two hours, not caring about their own casualties, and it was difficult for outside news to get in. In fact, they can also suppress each other with their numerical superiority. It's just that he knows that his uncle doesn't want to let those good sons die in vain.

"General Ye Wu, Wang Hu once heard from the rivers and lakes about a secret technique called the Transfiguration Technique, which should be helpful."

Wang Hu had asked Liu Ying to help when he was exploring everywhere before, so she knew how to perform this disguise technique, so she wrote down the method on paper and handed it to Ye Wu. Ye Wu breathed a sigh of relief when he got this method, hoping that the news could be transmitted to Ye An as soon as possible.

After sending Ye Wu away, Liu Ying was worried about Wang Hu in her heart. It's April now, and the apricot blossoms outside are already blooming. Originally, according to the plan, they should have been a newlywed couple, but suddenly there was a war and the wedding had to be postponed.

Her aunt also said that the marriage presented to Yue Lao was unlucky, and she didn't believe it at the time, but now she is faintly worried in her heart, and the hanging stone can't fall.

Wang Hu and they had been supporting for a full day and a night, and he was hit by an arrow in his right arm, and before he could pull out the arrow, he just swung his knife and cut off the tail of the arrow, leaving half of it.

"General, the east and west gates have lost 2,500 soldiers, and the south and north gates have lost 3,000 soldiers." Wang Hu reported the situation in the city to General Ye Lao

In just one day, they had already lost more than half of the people, and the opponent's offensive was too fierce. It seems that they are also in a hurry, wanting to take the border city as soon as possible, and tomorrow's attack is only afraid that it will be more fierce. General Ye Lao looked at the map and the city defense map on the table and coughed a few times.

"Transfer the old Li family to the south gate, and divide a thousand people to the east and west ......gates," General Ye commanded while coughing.

Shen Yuan, who had been following General Ye and didn't go back, was sitting outside at the moment, counting supplies.

"Lord Wang, the shopkeeper Gu of the Shelter Building is here!"

Shen Yuan pondered about this name, it turned out to be the friend of Ye Yuan who Ye Yuan had met when he took him to the Shelter Building before.

As soon as Gu Xing came in, he saluted Shen Yuan.

"Shen Gongzi!"

He had already guessed Shen Yuan's true identity, but since Shen Yuan hadn't broken it, he pretended not to know.

"I don't know what the shopkeeper Gu came to call today?"

"I heard that Shen Gongzi is now helping to manage the supplies in the army, and my Gu family has some family resources that I want to help."

After listening to Gu Xing's words, he stood up and bent down to make a big salute to Gu Xing.

"Shen Gongzi doesn't have to be like this, although I am a businessman, but the border city is where I grew up since I was a child, and it is natural for me to contribute to the border city."

"By the way, I don't know if there is any news of General Ye Zheng in the Japanese army at these times?"

Shen Yuan shook his head, there was no news coming in from outside these days. Listening to Shen Yuan's words, Gu Xing drooped his shoulders and left. Ye Zheng didn't come to the rescue when there was an accident in the border city, which means that something is likely to happen to her, Gu Xing is very worried, but he didn't expect that there was no news in the army.

After General Ye finished his order, it was almost dawn, and Shen Yuan had not rested outside yet, so he asked Shen Yuan to call him in.

"Shen Gongzi has worked hard for the past two days!" In the past two days, Shen Yuan has done a good job in handling the material matters, and he has been busy and has made the most of the few materials they have left.

"It's not hard, it's my honor to be able to contribute to the border city."

Old General Ye smiled and asked Shen Yuan to come and sit down.

"According to Shen Gongzi, how many days will the Jin people's attack be at most?"

Shen Yuan looked at the map on the table and spit out two words in his mouth.

"Three Days"

Old General Ye glanced at him and motioned for him to continue.

"Our army is engaged with the army of the Jin people on the front line, and the fact that they are sending people to attack the gold shows that our people are pinned down on the front line. But our army was numerically superior, and it was only temporary. Moreover, the ferocious attack of the Jin soldiers outside the city shows that they have a limited time to capture the border city, only three days at most. ”

Old General Ye nodded appreciatively, but his frowning brows did not stretch because of this.

"But at this moment, the number of golden soldiers outside the city far exceeds us, and the attack is so ferocious, it is very likely that we will not last for three days, and the city will be broken......"

"General!" Shen Yuan rubbed his fingers, "If the army hasn't returned in three days, there is still a way to delay time." ”

Old General Ye raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yuan, and sighed heavily in his heart, he knew that this was a last resort, but Ah Yuan was afraid that he would be blamed......
