Peiping.

The sound of killing shook the sky!

Zhu Gaochi has not closed his eyes for three days and three nights.

The ferocious offensive of the Southern army was far beyond his imagination, and it was like a tide of water day and night.

Fortunately, for this battle to defend Beiping, the Yan army has already made sufficient preparations, otherwise it is really possible that the southern army will break through the city.

As the sun set, accompanied by a loud sound of gold, the dense Southern Army soldiers stopped the offensive, and then receded like a tide.

Zhu Gaochi was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, leaning against the wall of the city to rest for a while.

"Lord Shizi, the Southern Army has suspended the siege of the city!"

"Let's go down and rest for a while!"

Dao Yan and Jin Zhong came together, looking at Zhu Gaochi, whose eyes were bloodshot, and looked very distressed.

This prince is not in good health, and he has been holding on to the overall situation for a long time, but I am afraid that he will not last long.

Zhu Gaochi waved his hand when he heard this, and barely squeezed out a smile.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I'll go and inspect the city defense first."

Big Fat Fat smiled reluctantly, he knew that he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, and the only thing he could do now was to stay on this city and give the Yan army soldiers confidence and confidence.

After all, he Zhu Gaochi is the eldest son of Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and the prince of the Yan Palace!

As long as he is in the city for the first day, the soldiers of the Yan army will feel at ease, even if there are more enemy troops outside the city, they are not afraid!

"Lord Shizi, even an iron man will not be able to hold on, not to mention that this battle is destined to take a long time, you are now the backbone of the Yan army, and there is no room for failure!"

Monk Daoyan spoke again to persuade.

At this time, Chen Heng and Gu Cheng also walked over quickly, and they brought today's battle losses.

Zhu Gaochi took a look, and his brows suddenly furrowed together.

Three days of holding the city, three days of hard fighting at the head of the city, the Yan army paid the tragic price of 5,000 soldiers killed and more than 10,000 soldiers injured, almost a quarter of the defenders of Beiping.

It's only been three days, and it's hard to imagine how long they'll be able to hold out.

And because the defenders are desperately holding on, the materials such as arrows, rolling logs, and boulders are also consumed hugely, which is obviously in the hands of Qu Neng, the commander of the Southern Army.

In the past three days, the offensive of the southern army seemed to be fierce, but there was no real attack by the whole army, and Qu Neng clearly aimed at consuming the defenders' food and grass.

When the grain and grass in Beiping City are almost consumed, he will gather a large army to launch a final onslaught, and Beiping City will be broken!

Zhu Gaochi and others also understand this, but at the moment they have no other way.

"How many arrows, rolling logs, and other supplies are left in the city?"

"Roughly estimated, it can be used for ten days!"

Jin Zhong immediately gave the answer, he has been responsible for dispatching grain and grass baggage.

"Ten days?" Zhu Gaochi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This is just an ideal state, if the Southern Army invests more troops tomorrow, these material horrors will really last less than ten days!" ”

Chen Heng and Gu Cheng nodded, as veterans of the battlefield, they naturally understood this truth.

Morale has always been very important.

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The southern army's continuous and frenzied attack day and night in the past three days did not seem to have achieved any results, but in fact it greatly consumed the materials in the city and shook the morale of the Yan army.

For the soldiers of the Yan army, the dense enemy army outside the city was like a boulder pressing on their hearts, and they had to face the desperate situation of the city being destroyed and people dying every moment.

Moreover, the enemy army launched an attack day and night, they fought hard to defend the city and counterattack, and every moment there were comrades who died in front of their eyes, which was a huge blow and pressure for anyone!

Morale is low and the morale of the army is weak, this is what Chen Heng and Gu Cheng are most worried about.

The two of them raised this hidden danger in a low voice, which made Zhu Gaochi, Monk Daoyan and others change their faces greatly.

You must know that most of these Yan soldiers in the city are soldiers from all over the northern Xinjiang, and they have no loyalty to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Now that the army is pressing, if any of them have other thoughts, such as bombing the camp and mutiny, then Beiping City will really be over.

Zhu Gaochi took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at Dao Yan and Jin Zhong.

"Do you have a good plan?"

Dao Yan frowned and tentatively gave a solution.

"Implement strict military orders and nip hidden dangers in the early stage."

"No!" Chen Heng shook his head, "Doing so will only backfire and further arouse the rebellious psychology of the soldiers!" ”

"At the beginning of the battle of Songting Pass, Bu Wan acted like this, and in the end, you all know that 30,000 soldiers mutinied and bombed the camp, and in the end they killed each other!"

When it came to the matter of Songting Pass, everyone's faces were extremely pale.

Monk Daoyan couldn't help but sigh and stopped mentioning the military order.

"Let's do it for the time being, I'll go inspect the city defense first!"

Zhu Gaochi sighed and took Chen Heng and Gu Cheng to inspect the city defense.

However, someone was one step ahead of them, and the effect was far better than that of his son.

That person is Princess Yan, Xu Miaoyun.

At this moment, Xu Miaoyun was taking the ladies of the Yan Wangfu to personally go to the top of the city, distribute food and water to the soldiers defending the city, and even bandage the wounds of the injured soldiers.

When the officers and soldiers of the three armies saw this, they were moved to tears one by one, and they were very grateful to Princess Yan.

Xu Miaoyun is the daughter of General Xu Da, and she has always been resourceful, so she doesn't know the predicament that Yan Jun is facing at the moment.

So after thinking about it for a while, Xu Miaoyun made this decision, and took the ladies of the Yan Wangfu to go to the city to appease people.

"Mother, girls, why did you go upstairs?"

"Hurry up, the enemy may not be able to attack when!"

Zhu Gaochi was a little anxious.

Fighting a war is a man's business, what are you women blindly mixed with?

Xu Miaoyun looked at her tired son, and said with some distress: "Chi'er, go to the rest meeting, guard for your mother!"

"Mother, this is not ......"

Zhu Gao was anxious, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Miaoyun.

"What's out of place? Your mother is a tiger girl, much better than you as a scholar! ”

Princess Yan chuckled and waved her hand impatiently.

"Hurry down and rest!"

Zhu Wanqiu stepped forward with a smile and pulled the big fat man, and said in a low voice, "Big brother, go and rest for a while."

"Mother is serious this time, we are all wearing armor!"

Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi subconsciously looked at it, and then noticed that Xu Miaoyun was wearing armor and was looking heroic!

"Alright then, when the enemy attacks later, be sure to wake me up!"

Zhu Gaochi was also a little unable to hold on, and said a word of advice uneasily, so he left in a hurry, and found a random room and fell asleep.

Xu Miaoyun climbed to the top of the city in armor and took a group of ladies of the Yan Wangfu to inspect the city defense and appease people's hearts.

Everywhere they passed, the soldiers stood up and saluted, and their excitement was indescribable.

In this world, who said that women are inferior to men?

His Royal Highness King Yan is a true hero!

Yan Shizi is also good, there is no rest in the bloody battle at the head of the city for three days!

Even the ladies of the Yan Wangfu are not allowed to shave their eyebrows!

In this way, the Yanwang Mansion should be prosperous!
