The battle of the Sands lasted from day to night, which was actually what the defenders were most worried about, not only because the defenders had already consumed a lot, but also because previous intelligence showed that these warriors were far more powerful at night than the human defenders. This makes the already precarious defense line of Jinsha City even more dangerous.

The emergency military meeting was held at nightfall, and according to the agreement, Lu Jichuan presided over it, although in the main seat, it was the old general Chang Po who was sitting in a precarious position.

Chang Poyu has lived in a deep house for a long time, and even these high-ranking generals in the venue have only heard one or two about the situation of the old generals in rumors. Now that I see that the old general is still in good spirits, but he also shows a tired look, everyone has their own concerns, but because of Lu Jichuan and Ma Zheng next to them, after a simple greeting, they don't even dare to make eye contact with the old general.

What surprised Ma Zheng a little was that this time, even Beacon Captain Geng Zhong had been listening carefully to the battle report, and he didn't seem to show special concern for Chang Poyu. It is probably because the fighting outside has really reached a critical juncture, and there is no need for mutual suspicion and vigilance between the victorious armies.

After listening to the battle report, Lu Jichuan looked at these senior generals who had more or less hung their colors, and finally set his eyes on Ma Zheng.

"How long will our soldiers last?"

Ma Zheng had been calculating in his heart for a long time, "General Lu, there are still 30,000 infantry in the defenders of the city, 10,000 crossbowmen and 10,000 cavalry each......"

"I ask you how long you can last?" Ma Zheng's answer was obviously not what Lu Jichuan was expecting.

"Ma Zheng swears to live and die with Jinsha!" Lu Jichuan was angry with himself in public, which surprised Ma Zheng, but he really couldn't give the answer that Captain Jinsha wanted.

"You say!" Lu Jichuan suddenly turned his gaze to Geng Zhong, for some reason, although he didn't like Geng Zhong, but when he was disappointed in Ma Zheng, he would always unconsciously notice Geng Zhong.

"We can replenish nearly 10,000 more troops, but we lack ordnance. ”

"You mean the strong men of those outcasts. Lu Jichuan is also an old fox, and this sentence reminds Geng Zhong that in Jinsha City, he is the master who controls the overall situation.

Geng Zhong was not surprised, and calmly responded, "Yes, these people are all homeless people who have been harassed by the beast army, and I think many of them are from the army, as long as they are given weapons, they are willing to fight for Jinsha." ”

"Well, I can provide the ordnance of these people, but you have to divide five thousand to replenish Ma Zheng, his consumption on the city wall is too great. ”

"Yes. Geng Zhong didn't hesitate for a moment, and agreed. In fact, at present, among the 50,000 victorious generals in Jinsha City, nearly 40,000 are directly coerced by horses, and the only 1,000 military captains who are relatively neutral have less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. In a fierce battle during the day, Geng Zhong's men and horses were already less than a thousand.

"How long do you think Jinsha can last?" Lu Jichuan threw the question to Geng Zhong again. Ma Zheng gloated a little in his heart, because this question seemed to him to be impossible to answer.

"According to the rate at which our combat power is consumed during the day, it can last for three days. Geng Zhong replied very simply, which immediately made Ma Zheng's face very ugly.

"Nonsense, although we lost a lot during the day, but at most we lost one percent of the soldiers, and you underestimated my winning division in the past three days. You are deliberately sensationalizing and sensationalizing. ”

Lu Jichuan originally felt a little similar to Ma Zheng, but after hearing Ma Zheng's public reprimand, he instantly felt that Ma Zheng's idea was a little too shallow, so he still stared at Geng Zhong's unsmiling face.

"And what about the rate of consumption at night?"

"At the rate of consumption at night, it can last about five days......"

As soon as Geng Zhong's words came out, Ma Zheng on the side laughed wildly, "Haha, Lord Geng, didn't you hurt your head, not only do we have to consume more arrows at night, but the pupils of those beasts are more suitable for night battles than us." ”

Obviously, this point of view has been agreed by most of the generals, and they no longer delve into the results of Geng Zhong's deduction, only Chang Poyu, who was speechless, seemed to suddenly be a little interested, and asked in the ridicule of everyone,

"And how is this calculated? ”

"During the day, the beast army attacked very hard, although our soldiers resisted the attack, but they have done their best, and the current loss is not more than one percent, but mainly because all the battlefields are scorched at the head of the urn city, and the troops on both sides are difficult to deploy. At this rate, subsequent casualties will gradually accelerate. And this acceleration will lead to two results, the wounded soldiers will be held back with more manpower to take care of, and what is more terrible is that with the acceleration of casualties, the psychological defense line of our soldiers will gradually collapse. ”

In fact, Ma Zheng also understands these truths, but perhaps it is the feelings for Jinsha and the life and death of his father and fellow villagers, and the huge responsibility overwhelms him, making him evade and unwilling to face it.

said that the conditions at night were better than during the day, Geng Zhong's explanation was even more surprising,

"Because at night, the orcs will stop attacking. This is the inference of Captain Xiang of the Pioneer. ”

At this time, everyone was in an uproar, because everyone suddenly began to realize a question that they had originally deliberately avoided, the miraculous God-given young man, the orphan of the Northern Liang God of War, the one who claimed to be a citizen of Great Xia although he was of foreign blood, and so far, the magical boy who led the human army to the only victory, when Jinsha needed him the most, how could there be no trace.

Xiang Bei's disappearance, taken away, is the little hope that originally rose in the hearts of everyone, the Jinsha Changsheng army did not say defeat and retreat, not because they still have a desire for victory, but because they now only have the determination to die with Jinsha in their hearts.

But Geng Zhong's sudden mention of Xiang Bei made everyone finally can't help the curiosity in their hearts, and a thousand military captains who were reorganized back to Jinsha from the Battle of the Northern Wilderness couldn't help but ask,

"I've heard about this Captain Xiang's achievements for a long time, but why is there no news of him now, it is said that Captain Geng and him are still sworn brothers, do you have any news of Captain Xiang." ”

Although Xiang Bei has always called Geng Zhong his brother, in Geng Zhong's heart, he admires Xiang Bei's brother and proudly introduces it to everyone.

"My brother is the most familiar of us with the warriors of the cunning wolf riders, he said, these cunning do not act according to their nature, but surrender to a demon king from the land of nowhere, although the demon king has a strange temperament, but one thing is certain, he likes to use the opponent's tactics to defeat the opponent, whether it is to show off, whether it is to punish the heart, he will definitely choose to complete the destruction of the city in the daytime, in front of all of us. So, in the evening we can rest and recuperate, replenish and change defenses. My brother is still recuperating during this period of time, and with him, there is more hope for our Jinsha defense line. ”

Ma Zheng has always regarded Xiang Bei as a party of Chang Polu and Geng Zhong, and Geng Zhong's explanation made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Especially the captain who asked the question, nodded frequently and said appreciatively,

"Indeed, Brother Xiang Bei should be the hope of our victorious army in Great Xia, and when the Marquis of Tiankui rode to the north, he was only the grade of a young hero like him......

"I think you were frightened by the beast army, first by the Northern Wilderness rangers and those barbarians to break the city, and now you dare to be disrespectful to our god of war in Great Xia, who dares to claim to be on a par with the Marquis of Tiankui, I Ma Zheng wants to be taught. ”

The captain who took refuge in Jinsha didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and although the feeling of sending people under the fence was not pleasant, but after all, he couldn't sweep Ma Zheng's face, so he had to go back a few steps back, and no longer talked.

Ma Zheng took the opportunity to grab Bai Gengzhong, "You have to say nonsense, it's almost now, but I don't know when your brother's prediction of the night started?"

It seems that it was in response to Ma Zheng's question, just when Ma Zheng used this question to mock Xiang Bei and Geng Zhong's speculation, the shouting outside the tent suddenly became smaller and smaller, and before the people in the tent ordered an investigation, the herald outside the tent broke in,

His news surprised everyone, "The beast army actually took the initiative to retreat......"

Seeing that this horse expedition was in embarrassment, Lu Jichuan came forward to relieve the siege, now that Geng Zhong's speculation has been verified, let everyone hurry up and repair the supplies, but even more beware of these cunning enemies who want to capture the old man and launch a sneak attack when the defenders are careless.

In the end, Lu Jichuan told Ma Zheng that he must strengthen the patrol at night, and the rest of the people went back separately and took his subordinates to repair. In the end, Geng Zhong was left to say that he had something to ask.

It was only at this moment that Geng Zhong subconsciously looked at Chang Polu, the governor of the five armies sitting in the position of the Chinese army, and saw that Chang Polu's face in the flickering candle flame was emaciated, and he was worried in his heart, but there was a tacit understanding that he did not greet each other, especially Chang Polu, when he passed in front of Geng Zhong, he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Lu Jichuan let go of Ma Zheng's city defense matters with plenipotentiary Prime Minister Jinsha, and naturally he also had his own plans.

First, Ma Zheng can be regarded as a veteran of the battlefield, and he is even more loyal to himself, and he is very easy to use, which has won Lu Jichuan's trust.

Second, Ma Zheng is more than brave and lacks strategy, which has advantages and disadvantages, and the advantage is naturally that he does not have to worry about other thoughts. But the disadvantage is that when facing too strong opponents, such as those outside the city, I am afraid that there is no clever person like Geng Zhong.

In the end, seeing that this old handsome Chang Poyu obviously did not have the domineering spirit when he first arrived in Jinsha, he just wanted to mix his life and go down, perhaps at this time, it was a good time to strive for the young and promising Geng Zhong.

It's just that Geng Zhong really didn't disappoint Lu Jichuan - he received all the benefits he was given, and as soon as he stood in line to express his position, Geng Zhong pretended to be stupid. Lu Jichuan's wishful thinking sounded, but in the end, he did not get a response from Geng Zhong.

"It's okay, according to Geng Zhong's urine nature, if you want to deliberately calculate yourself, you should agree to yourself instead. In the end, Lu Jichuan had to use this reason to appease himself.

Coming out of Lu Jichuan, the cold moon was like a hook in the sky, and the shouts and killings at the head of the city had completely quieted down, but there was still a bloody breath in the air. Geng Zhong couldn't help but sigh, "Brother, what happened to you, this is when Jinsha needs you the most." ”

......

What needs Xiangbei is not only the lonely city of Jinsha, but also a secluded valley outside Jinsha City, where the graceful fairy stands on the branches, as light as a willow leaf.

The moonlight is like a mirror, reflecting the fairy's jade-like face, cream-like curves, and delicate facial features, so that Lu Nanxun, who claims to be a Fuding person, does not dare to look directly at it. He forcibly suppressed the somewhat accelerated heartbeat, still using an elder to hide the throbbing in his heart.

"The first lord, the big battle of Jinsha, we will do our best, after all, the mission of our Kunlun Lingyu first seat is not to enter the world to save the common people, but to be born at a glance. ”

This cliché made the fairy's heart more and more irritable, and he could only listen to Lu Nanxun's preaching on the surface, while secretly tracing the figure of the young man in his heart,

"Bastard boy, are you deliberately avoiding me, I don't believe you can even want Jinsha. Let's see how I'll clean you up when you come back. ”

Suddenly, Qin Luoyu felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, "What if that kid really never looked at himself seriously, then what should I do?"

"No, no, it must be because I always like to tease him that he won't notice me. Then next time, ask him seriously. ”

"No, no......"

Lu Nanxun, who is in a bad scenery, is not interesting. I thought that Qin Luoyu's distraction was just because he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, and Lu Nanxun's own realm had been left far behind by Qin Luoyu, but as the elder of the fairy, Lu Nanxun still couldn't help but admonish,

"Don't be anxious, Lord don't be anxious, when I poured your eighth remnant soul into the skin of this young girl, the progress was unusually smooth, and you must be the one who was born by the destiny of heaven. I will always accompany you in your cultivation and watch you break into the transformation realm. ”
