The early spring sun always comes very late, and although the sky is already bright, the frost-covered battlefield still feels extremely cold. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the cold city walls, the cold broken blades, the cold corpses, and even the rice porridge drunk by the Luoyang defenders at the head of the city was ice.

And these people didn't seem to care about this, their eyes were gloomy, and they didn't look sad or resentful, just numbly looking at the corpses of their comrades nearby, swallowing rice porridge one bite at a time.

The reason why they can still eat and still eat is because the battle is not over, and they must replenish their strength to deal with the siege that may come at any time.

In fact, they are already very tired in their bones, and they can't wait to be like these dead comrades-in-arms, sleeping and dying and never getting up, isn't this another relief?

The dead are sad, but how can the living rejoice?

No, nobody.

Therefore, every Luoyang defender, from the commander of the officer to the non-commissioned officer, everyone has a different look in their eyes, which is a combination of emptiness and dead silence.

Ye Qianxue didn't eat anything, and she didn't close her eyes for a day and a night, and at this moment she was standing alone in the half-collapsed gate at the head of the city, holding the bloodstained battlements with both hands and looking at the city.

There were countless corpses of rebels stacked on top of each other, blood sticking to each other, heads and feet touching each other, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there was a thick air of death, as if it were a silent mass grave.

Obviously, in the rush of last night's battle, the casualties of those rebels were still above their own defenders, which shows that although the ambush and strategy of last night's battle were somewhat twists and turns, they were undoubtedly extremely successful on the whole.

But Ye Qianxue was not happy about this, he knew that the morale of all the soldiers had fallen into the valley, and this kind of exhaustion that soaked into every inch of skin could not be easily smoothed out in a few words.

The soldiers now want rest, not just physically.

But she didn't dare to let everyone rest, because she needed men to keep an eye on the direction of the enemy camp in front of her to deal with any danger that might arise at any time, but she herself knew that without reinforcements, it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.

One day, or half a day?

Ye Qianxue smiled bitterly, if a coach is not optimistic about the battle situation, then the people under him are even less optimistic.

At this moment, footsteps were heard behind him.

The person who came was an adjutant under Luoyang Assassin Shi Fan Ru, at this moment, most of the generals brought by Assassin Shi Fan Ru and Ye Qianxue from the capital Chang'an were trapped in the three counties of Luanchuan by Mo Shaoying, and this deputy general was used to take over Jiang Houcheng's position after Jiang Houcheng was killed.

And this general named Sun Xiang was originally a general in the Luoyang garrison, and his prestige in the army faintly overshadowed the assassin Shi Fanru, so whether it was popularity or experience, it was really most suitable for him to serve as his deputy, and it was also the time to employ people at this time.

And this person has a straight eyebrow, a Chinese face, a beard, a burly body, and walks with a tiger's step, which makes people know at a glance that he must often practice in the army, and it can be regarded as worthy of the name.

"County Lord!"

"Hmm. ”

Ye Qianxue gently agreed, "Something?"

Sun Xiang hesitated for a while, and said angrily: "There will be something in the end that I don't know whether to talk about or not!"

Ye Qianxue said lightly: "You and I don't need to be polite, since we are here, let's say it directly." ”

Sun Xiang nodded slightly, and said: "The last general has come to some rumors, saying that the county lord has some friendship with the rebel marshal. ”

Sun Xiang broke off three or four times when he said this, as if he was considering the words word by word.

Ye Qianxue raised her eyebrows and said bluntly: "Yes, what, does the general think that the county lord will collaborate with the enemy?"

Sun Xiang's body was shocked, and he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "The last general definitely didn't mean that!"

Ye Qianxue said lightly: "Get up." I think the general must not just come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but if he has something to say, just say it. ”

Sun Xiang nodded, and then said, "Of course not!" the last general just wanted to confirm the relationship between the county lord and the young marshal.......

Ye Qianxue raised her eyebrows again, she suddenly found that this Sun Xiang was not commensurate with his appearance, and she let him say again and again that it was okay, why did he still stumble and spit out?

It seems that the problem is not himself, but his grandson.

But this is not easy to say on the face, so he said patiently: "The general wants to say what he wants to ask, but it doesn't hurt to say it, and the county lord will never blame." ”

Sun Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was waiting for this sentence, "Don't worry, let's determine a few things first!"

"You speak!"

"Does the young marshal have a deep friendship with the county lord?"

"Good personal relationship. ”

"That young marshal must have some admiration for the county lord! Because a man will never show favor to a woman for no reason!"

Ye Qianxue retracted her gaze from afar, slowly turned her head and began to look at Sun Xiang carefully, looking at him a little creepy, and then said coldly: "This is very important?"

"Hmm!"

Sun Xiang nodded and said firmly.

"Then the general said yes. ”

As soon as Sun Xiang heard this, he suddenly approached Ye Qianxue's ear and discussed it secretly, but this content seemed to make Ye Qianxue feel disgusted, her brows were already twisted together, and her face slowly sank.

After Sun Xiang finished his decision in one breath, he knelt down again and said, "Please make a decision to the county lord!"

"Do you really want to do that?"

Sun Xiang seemed to hear the hesitation in Ye Qianxue's words, and suddenly raised his head suddenly, and two tears actually shed in his tiger eyes: "County Lord! Look at this city, and then look at everyone in this city, they, they really don't have the strength to fight anymore! If we don't do this, we have almost no chance of winning! And I, Sun Xiang, can fight to the death, but not everyone can fight to the death! I also hope that the county lord will forgive the soldiers and lure that Mo Shaoying into the city!"

Sun Xiang shouted the last few words very high, and the soldiers who were drinking porridge not far away stopped their movements one after another, and looked at them together, their empty and numb eyes seemed to have a hint of hope.

Ye Qianxue didn't reply immediately, she didn't make a sound when she saw these hopeful eyes, just looked at Sun Xiang and nodded calmly, and went down to the city with a pale face.

Yes, Sun Xiang's plan was disgraceful, but Ye Qianxue had no choice.

The afternoon sun shone lazily on everyone's faces, and the two sides who had been fighting all night seemed to be too sleepy to open their eyes.

However, the Celestial Star Army has a large number of troops and a large number of people, not to mention that there was a full phalanx of troops last night who did not enter the battle, and the loss of troops in the rear battalion that was raided was not heavy, so no matter from which point of view, it was the best choice to quickly carry out the second siege.

And the defenders of Luoyang will definitely not be able to withstand the repeated fierce battles.

Therefore, the phalanx, which had not participated in the battle last night, had been converted into a forward camp after being well recuperated. As the vanguard, armed with ladders and blades, they will attack the crumbling wall, which will be the last straw that crushes the opponent.

Everyone knew that this was the truth, so at this moment, although the Celestial Star Army had been sharply reduced by half compared to yesterday, they were still able to list the three phalanxes in an orderly manner, and everyone's faces were even more energetic and morale was like a rainbow.

Compared with the Tianxing Army, the head of Luoyang City is much more deserted, dozens of crooked Ye family banners, a few expressionless soldiers, and crows falling on the head of the city at three or two o'clock all indicate that the Luoyang defenders have reached a desperate situation.

Chu Yi retracted his gaze and said: "Young marshal, the other party's defeat has been revealed, so what does the Luoyang county lord still have to rely on, do you have to fight to the death?"

Mo Shaoying smiled: "You might as well ask this question in person." ”

After speaking, he motioned for the first year to come forward and ask.

Chu Yi led the order to fly out, came to the gate of the east city, and said loudly in the face of the empty city wall: "Lord Zhaoyang, you have been defeated in this battle by the hands of the young marshal of our army, and now the young marshal personally leads the army to the city, and it is not easy to surrender the city, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties!"

In the middle of the night, the gates were closed and no one stepped forward to talk, as if shouting into the air.

Chu Yi's color changed slightly, and he said angrily: "Zhaoyang County Lord! My young marshal temporarily stopped the army because of his old feelings, and ordered me to come forward to speak, I advise you not to be obsessed and stubbornly resist!"

The words fell, seeing that there was still no response, Chu Yi was already a little angry, and was about to make a sound, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Mo Shaoying smiling at the corner of his mouth. ”

As he spoke, he took a few steps forward slowly, and came to the city full of corpses, only then did he stop his steps, and his face instantly turned cold: "Ye Qianxue, I'll count three times, if you don't talk again, I will order the slaughter of the whole city to avenge the soldiers who died here!"

Chu Yi was obviously stunned when he heard this, but immediately shouted: "Slaughter the city, take revenge and hatred——!"

When the three military formations behind him heard Chu Yi and the young marshal say this, they immediately shouted and cheered, and in an instant, 10,000 people shouted, and the sound shook Luoyang! The crows at the head of the city were scared away, and at the same time, every Luoyang soldier at the head of the city was also frightened.

The eight characters of "slaughtering all over the city, taking revenge and hatred" pierced into their hearts like a sharp knife, making people nervous unconsciously.

Slaughter the city, that young marshal actually wants to slaughter the city!

Crazy, they're all crazy!

"One!"

As soon as Mo Shaoying counted to one, the three armies behind him suddenly fell silent, and at this moment, a person hurriedly appeared above the gate of the city.

This is not Ye Qianxue.

Sun Xiang looked at Mo Shaoying, who had a cold face under the city, and said with a pale face: "You want to slaughter the city, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Mo Shaoying smiled, raised his head slightly but didn't look at him: "Ben Shuai said that he wanted to slaughter the city, did you believe it?"

Sun Xiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with a distorted face: "If the young marshal can put down the butcher's knife and bypass the city's old and young women and children, what if I eat in front of you!

Mo Shaoying suddenly stopped talking, his eyes narrowed again, he usually thought about bad ideas when he squinted, oh no, it's a good plan.

But at the moment, he didn't think about it, he only felt that although this person was a martial artist, he had a scholar's heart inside, yes, he had a mouth that could speak.

Fang Cai knew that it would never come true, but he still said that either this person is extremely stupid, or this person is selling his reputation, but there are always very few stupid people in this world!

Of course, maybe he's really stupid and cute?

Mo Shaoying suddenly couldn't help laughing, and said slowly: "But even if Ben Shuai agrees, I'm afraid my dead brothers won't agree." ”

As he spoke, he raised his horsewhip and pointed at the corpse of the Heavenly Star Army under the city, and a trace of pain immediately appeared on his face, as if he really had to order the slaughter of the city to vent his anger in order to take revenge.

But of course Liu Xiang at the head of the city didn't believe it, everyone knew that this was just a nonsense excuse, which was a hundred times more fake than the breasts of the woman in the green building!

I saw him say with a gloomy face: "Then what if I dedicate the city to you the young marshal!"

"Dedication to the city?"

Mo Shaoying was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this person to say this, but in a blink of an eye, he actually asked seriously:

"Can you call the shots?" Ye Qianxue, tell her to come out. ”

"Of course I can't, but what I say is what the county lord says, so this is what the county lord means!"

"Oh, what else does your lord want?"

"Of course there is, the county lord wants to make an appointment with the young marshal alone in the city, and if the young marshal is brave enough to come to see him, he will surrender the city!"

After hearing this, Mo Shaoying laughed, as if he had heard something funniest, and the first junior high hurried over, and said with a smile: "Young marshal, you can't go! This is a trap." ”

Mo Shaoying nodded, but said, "You and I both know that this is a trap, and as long as you don't think about things with your ass, you know that it is, right?"

"Of course!

"Do you think anyone will believe it?"

"Nope!"

"I believe it. ”

Mo Shaoying suddenly said softly.

"Huh?"

Chu Yi was stunned, with a puzzled expression.

Mo Shaoying didn't plan to explain more, but said, "Don't you think things are getting more and more interesting?" Wait for me here, I'll come out soon." ”

After speaking, the corners of Mo Shaoying's mouth curled, and her face was full of confidence.

At first glance, he didn't stop it, and suddenly realized that the young marshal must have thought of something deeper before he went to the appointment.

If you take 10,000 steps back, even if it is a trap, if you think that the young marshal can defeat Dong Zhaoyi's strength, you will definitely be able to turn around safely.

Mo Shaoying dismounted, stepped over the corpses all over the ground, walked to the city wall, looked at Sun Xiang and said lazily: "Then Ben Shuai is here, is the general ready?"

When Sun Xiang, the head of the city, heard this, he immediately cheered up and said: "Please also ask the young marshal to bypass the north gate, the three gates of the south and east and west have been blocked with boulders, and you can't open the door to welcome the young marshal in person!"

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome. ”

Saying that, Mo Shaoying smiled, looked at the seven-zhang high city wall, and as soon as his body was vertical, the whole person climbed the city wall like a gecko, kicked with both feet, and climbed to the top of the city in three or five steps.

The soldiers at the head of the city widened their eyes, and some even rubbed their eyes, almost in disbelief. And that Sun Xiang was even more pale, looking at Mo Shaoying's figure of stepping on the wall in the void, he was suddenly a little glad that the young marshal did not go to the north gate to touch the ambush as he said.

In this case, the plan has to be changed.

"Don't blame me!"

Sun Xiang thought like this in his heart, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face.
