"Since you know you can't wait, then you tell me, what should we do?"

Duan Ling looked at Zhou Yu and felt particularly angry when he saw that he was still in the same godless state as always.

At the moment, it was already a matter of life and death in the whole city, but it was still like this, which really annoyed him, and he roared angrily at the top of his throat.

"That's right. General Zhou, can you tell me what we should do?"

A soldier next to him stood up, but asked directly.

Immediately after, another middle-aged woman came out and begged: "Yesterday my husband was stoned to death by that artillery, General Zhou, when will you defeat the other party?"

"My house was also destroyed. Poor my sixty-year-old mother, who is still sleeping on the street. Another girl in her twenties looked desolate.

"That's right, give me a letter. Otherwise, we might as well run away, shall we?" One person made a suggestion.

These days, they have also experienced each other's awesomeness with the rebel army, and if the siege at the beginning is over, after all, the enemy is blocked by the city wall, and he can't enter at all, so he doesn't know the horror of the enemy.

Although their movements were restricted and they had less to eat, they felt at ease in their peaceful lives far more than before.

But now it's different.

The artillery fire was directly aimed at the city gate, which allowed them to directly feel the power of the artillery, and the huge craters also made them tremble, and they began to fear what they would do if they were hit.

In the midst of everyone, Zhou Yu felt at a loss for a while, and he could only keep persuading.

"Rest assured, we will definitely block the other party and protect the safety of the ranks. ”

It's just that he goes left and right, all with this sentence.

Everyone was tired of hearing this, and they began to be impatient, but they gathered together and began to condemn Zhou Yu.

Faced with this scene, Zhou Yu also began to become flustered.

Indeed, Zhou Yu did perform well when he was in the military academy, but the battlefield is not a battlefield after all, and many things, such as the emotions of the soldiers and even the unwillingness of the people in the city, will not be directly displayed in front of the commander, and this is often the most deadly place.

Looking at the people gathered in front of him, Zhou Yu didn't know what to do at all.

According to military regulations, these people can be directly executed if they collide with the army, but they are just ordinary people after all, and if they aim their guns at them, then they will violate the regulations of the Red Phoenix Army.

Zhou Yu, who was in contradiction for a while, did not have the previous calm.

"Shut it all up!"

There was a thunder on the ground, and everyone was startled.

They turned their heads, only then did they notice Duan Ling who was standing next to them.

At this moment, Duan Ling was covered in smoke and dust, his clothes were still mixed with the blood stains of the enemy, and on the long knife hanging from his waist, there were several drops of blood, which was simply a battlefield Shura.

"What are you doing here, why don't you let me go back to my room?"

There was another roar, and the people were shocked, and their internal organs seemed to be shattered, and a puff of smoke disappeared from the spot.

For Duan Ling, they are still mostly afraid after all.

"Are you like that?"

Zhou Yu next to him felt uncomfortable, because he found that when he faced that group of people, he had no choice, and even relied on Duan Ling to make those guys retreat.

"It's enough to calm them down. Others, not so much. It's not an academy, so you can't do anything. Duan Ling scoffed, and mockery could be seen in his eyes.

Zhou Yu was a little ashamed, and bowed his head and thanked: "Thank you." ”

"Thank you, just do your own thing, don't be like that!"

Duan Ling's nose moved slightly, and he sniffed the smell on his body, only to find that his body was covered with blood stains and fireworks, and his whole body was filled with an unpleasant smell.

It made him feel particularly uncomfortable!

"I'll go take a shower first, if there's anything, let's talk about it in the evening!"

Waving his hand, Duan Ling left directly, ready to find a place to wash his body.

After this day's fighting, he felt a little tired, and only by washing well could he feel much more relaxed.

Zhou Yu saw Duan Ling, although the other party's attitude was still bad, but he felt warm in his heart: "It seems that you don't want to be as bad as they say, at least when I am in danger, you will help you." ”

Although the battle was over, the damage caused by the previous shelling still existed, and it was impossible for Zhou Yu to continue to stay here, so he began to resettle the people, repair the house and many other things.

This day passed like this, and the night did not know when, enveloping the entire Handan City.

Starry and silent.

Handan in the middle of the night, there is no hustle and bustle during the day, and there is no disgusting smell of gunsmoke.

However, although Zhou Yu was lying in bed, the thoughts in his mind made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

"Well, let's get up and relax. ”

In desperation, Zhou Yu put on a robe and walked out of the bedroom.

Although it is spring at the moment, the cold air belonging to winter has not dissipated, and it still makes people feel that their bones seem to be trembling.

But how can these cold qi compare to the army outside the city, which worries Zhou Yu more?

Then Starlight, Zhou Yu followed the stone steps and walked towards the stone pavilion in his memory, but just as he stepped forward, he saw that a figure had already appeared in the stone pavilion.

"Can't you sleep? If you can't sleep, why don't you come and talk to me? ”

"It turned out to be Senior Wang. Then, please spare the juniors to take the liberty!" Zhou Yu was relieved in his heart, stepped forward, and found a stone bench to sit down.

On the stone table, there was not much left of the small dishes on the table, even in the wine glass, and only a little bit of the bottom of the glass remained.

"I'm sorry. I didn't expect you to come, so I didn't prepare that much. ”

With a self-deprecating laugh, Wang Shiyi resolved Zhou Yu's embarrassment, his eyes noticed the other party's tightly locked frown, and asked again: "It's just you, are you still worried about the enemy's affairs?"

"That's right!"

Zhou Yu calmly admitted: "The enemy has built a fort outside my city. If we let them continue to fight like this, then the morale of our army will inevitably be seriously weakened, and how will we confront them when the time comes?"

The worried eyes and unwilling look were torturing him, although he wanted to find a way to fight, but the power in his hands was limited, and it was really difficult to fight.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Yu felt at a loss and lost his self-confidence during the day.

Wang Shijian's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "Are you afraid?"

"That's right. After all, if I fail, then the entire people of the city may fall under the sword and axe of the other party, and I really can't imagine what it will be like at that time. Zhou Yu admitted calmly.

He is still a fledgling for war, and there are many things that need to be familiarized.

"You know what?"

Wang Shixing smiled and comforted: "As a general, the most important thing is not failure, but the courage to accept failure." Didn't the lord also go through the Luzhou massacre, the defeat of Taiyuan, and even the danger of falling in the Battle of Jinghai? ”

"The talent of the lord is beyond our reach, as long as I can protect the safety of the people of this city, it will be good. It's a pity that until now, I don't know what to do. ”

"Sure enough. Are you still struggling with this? Have you ever thought that what you can't solve, maybe someone else can?"

A chuckle made Zhou Yu raise his head and look at Wang Shiyi in confusion.

"Senior Wang, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Shijian said with a smile: "Although you can't do anything about that fort, it doesn't mean that there is no one who can't solve it." For example, Duan Ling, I think he should have already taken some countermeasures!"

"Duan Ling, but, is he willing to help me?" Zhou Yu hesitated.

That period of the tomb has always been arrogant, and after being deprived of command, if you ask him, I am afraid it will not be easy.

At least Zhou Yu himself is not absolutely sure that he can persuade the other party.

"Why can't you?" Wang Shixing said with a smile: "After all, you are friends of the same year, and you are not some grievance creditors, so what is there to say?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yu had already made up his mind, stood up suddenly, closed his head and replied, "I understand!"

Now is the most dangerous time, and only by working together can we get out of a way.

For this reason, he does not mind opening up to the other party.

With his heart set up, Zhou Yu had already left here and ran straight to Duan Ling's residence.

Wang Shijian felt relieved and sighed, "Alas. I'm also old, so I didn't think I would do anything. But it would be best to be able to bridge your previous relationship. ”

In the distance, not long after Wang Shixing left, he saw a figure in the distance flashing in a hurry, and he was feeling strange, but he saw that the figure was followed by Duan Ling.

"Duan Ling, why are you here?" With a joy in his heart, Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward and blocked in front of Duan Ling.

Seeing that he was blocked, Duan Ling felt annoyed for a while, lowered his head and shouted directly, "What are you doing here?" Crossing Zhou Yu, he wanted to find the other party's figure, but where could he find the other party's whereabouts.

Zhou Yu felt guilty: "Is it the phantom from before, is he a spy?"

"That's natural! Otherwise, why did I show up late at night? Like you, just wandering around here?" Duan Ling replied with his head closed, and then accused angrily, "And why did you appear here, and you blocked my way?"

"I——, I'm here for you. ”

Although Zhou Yu was choked, he quickly reacted and directly told his origin.

Duan Ling sneered: "Looking for me? Isn't it for the sake of the day, specially to apologize to me? It's a pity, I'm the most cautious person, if you think that you can convince me to give up competing with you for command, then it's really a big mistake!"

"Do you apologize? Yes, but not today!" Zhou Yu said: "My purpose is to persuade you to cooperate with me to defeat the enemy!"

"Defeat the enemy? Very good, then you tell me what your plan is, if it doesn't suit me, then I will refuse. Duan Ling's words were sarcastic, and he did not hide his hostility.

Zhou Yu was helpless, so he had to say: "Okay, since you have this problem, then it is true that the two of us should also talk about it openly." ”

Subsequently, Zhou Yu told all his overall plans.

Of course, its content is just a copy of the daytime, but the army involved still has firepower, which is much stronger than before, at least Zhou Yu will not let Duan Ling charge alone.

After Duan Ling heard this, he showed a little rejection.

"Hmph, is that what your plan is, what if I can't destroy the fort?

"According to my method, even if I can't destroy the turret, at least I can slow down the opponent's footsteps. Taking advantage of this time, we can also buy more time to retreat. After all, Handan City can be lost, but the rebel army can't afford to lose!"

"Oh, according to you, aren't you going to run away?"

Duan Ling was a little unwilling, and it was not something he could accept to escape like this.

Zhou Yu persuaded: "Otherwise, do you continue to insist? Don't forget, if the lord didn't retreat back then, would we still be here?"

In order to be able to persuade the other party, Zhou Yu moved out of the former Xiao Feng's decision.

Duan Ling shook his head and refused, "That's because the enemy is too strong, and we can't hold on, so we made this decision. But the strength of the other party is not stronger than ours, if we rashly give up Handan, it is equivalent to giving up the support of the people in the city, how can we defeat the other party at that time?"

"Maybe you're right, but now it's the way it is, and that's the only way I can do it. Zhou Yu said helplessly.

He didn't want to give up Handan either, but the intensity of the opponent's attack was getting heavier and heavier, which made him feel too heavy.

Duan Ling said: "Hmph! The strength of the other party is not much stronger than ours, but you have the intention of retreating?

"Then what do you say? Don't forget, we are trapped in this Handan City, and if we continue to fight, it will only become less and less. What if the people are gone?" Zhou Yu retorted.

Duan Ling replied loudly: "As long as the other party has fewer troops than us, that is enough!"

"Do you think it's possible for the other side to have fewer troops than we do?" Zhou Yu scoffed, after all, the other party is not a fool, how could he get into the trap and let them slaughter?

"Why is it impossible? Just use Handan City as a bait and kill him with a horse gun. At that time, the other party will definitely be difficult to care about, and then we can completely defeat the other party in one go. Duan Ling still insisted on seeing each other a few times, always believing that attacking was the right way: "When the time comes, the opponent's troops will be lost too much, and they will naturally retreat." ”

"Okay. You don't look like you're the kind of person who will take advice from others. It's just that I hope you don't have to fight with me then, you know?" Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up persuasion.

"That's nature!"

Duan Ling didn't put his beak in his mouth, and left the place with his hands behind his back, leaving Zhou Yu alone to think hard about how they should act if the other party really took action.

Is it a war?

Is it a refund?

The dilemma made him feel embarrassed, and it could not be resolved.

After all, this is the inevitable process that leads to a famous general.
