Five days have passed since the day of the water break, and the Hun army still came to splash water and frolic under the city, expressing full humiliation to the Han army that lacked water. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but the Han army in Shule City was a dead silence. Because of the lack of water, these elite soldiers who were supposed to kill the enemy on the battlefield lay in the camp and began to die in despair one by one. All of them looked to the east, the Central Plains, their homeland that they would never set foot again in their lives.

At this moment, Gao Pet is still digging desperately on the well construction site, sixteen zhang, seventeen zhang, eighteen zhang, digging deeper and deeper, desperate Gao Pet at this moment, in addition to digging wells, I don't know what else to do, he can't shed tears, and he can't show weakness in front of the soldiers, if he is respected as a god at this moment, then the mood of the Han army will inevitably collapse faster, then this city is really self-defeating.

"General, a few more brothers are gone," a soldier suddenly came from the well, and said to Gao Zhong in a hoarse voice.

Gao Zhong nodded wordlessly, pulled the rope tied to his body, and motioned to the soldier above to pull himself up, not to see the soldier for the last time before his death, but at least he could give him a ride after death.

Outside the well, Wu Xu was already standing aside, picked up Gao Chong's somewhat dirty helmet, and handed it to Gao Chong's hands, Gao Chong picked up the helmet and asked in a low voice, "How many are these?"

Wu Xu whispered, "This is the sixty-seventh"

Gao Zhong put on his helmet and walked to the place where the soldiers were scene, praying silently, in fact, Gao Chong was secretly scolding the injustice of God, his soldiers were all loyal souls of the Han Dynasty, sixty-seven people, and the battle between Shule and Pei Shan combined did not have more than half of the soldiers who died of dehydration, Gao Chong slowly opened his eyes, the sky is long, and the river is thinner than me?

After the worship was over, Gao Chong was about to return to the construction site and continue to excavate, when suddenly the drums on the city tower sounded, and the Huns came to attack? Gao Chong was angry and round-eyed, did the hateful Huns finally come? So he rushed to the top of the city tower with an arrow step.

Climb the city tower to see, but see that there is no siege weapon, but there is a team of Hun shield soldiers with shields slowly come to the city, only to see this team of Hun soldiers is holding a white flag, indicating that there is no will to fight, Gao Zhong ordered the Han army to put away the bow and arrows, first see what is the purpose of the Huns?

The Huns stopped not far away, the shield array dispersed, and it was the annoying King Zuoxian, "Please General Gao come out and meet you"

"General Ben is here, if you have something to say, you can say" Gao Zhong stood at the head of the city, of course, he had to draw a bow and arrows, and tell King Zuo Xian with his actions that if he talked nonsense, he would send arrows.

Seeing that the Han army was so tense, the Hun army naturally did not hesitate to raise its shield to protect King Zuo Xian, who said calmly, "The general is so strong, I didn't expect that the water would be cut off for so many days, and he could still pull a bow and arrow." Since General Gao is not welcome to be in the Xia, it will be a long story short, the city of Shule is short of water, it must be impossible to hold, I can be the Moore Khan benevolence, as long as you title me Huns, bounty and silver, servant livestock, how much, how much"

Generally, this kind of reward has a strong temptation for the troops in a desperate situation, but it is a pity that this army is not, Gao Zhong laughed, "Your Excellency Zuo Xianwang, I'm sorry, your request, for us, there is no temptation! My Long Xiangwei is fighting for honor, and in this life, he spilled blood for the Han, and he is the sharpest spear and shield of my Han." You want the city of Shule? you can, erect your siege ladder, even if you come, if you want to take this city, you can only step over our corpses."

King Zuo Xian had five hard feelings about Gao Chong's mouth, and just smiled and said, "The general is not in a hurry, I will come back tomorrow, and I will come with Qing Shui, you can rest assured, then see you tomorrow" After saying that, he slowly retreated with the troops.

King Zuo Xian thought he was useful, but Gao Zhong was particularly sure of this, he just stood at the head of the city and said, "Long Xiangwei is the emperor's personal soldiers, our words and deeds represent the honor of the Han Dynasty, you are all good sons of the six counties, become Long Xiangwei, just for one honor, if we succumb to the Huns at this moment, what face do we have to face the family in the Central Plains, face the ancestors"

All the soldiers half-knelt on the ground, "General, we are willing to fight to the death"

Gao Zhong roared, "Get up, this is natural, if the Huns want to enter Shule City, they can only step over our corpses." Then Gao Zhong took out a letter from his bosom, "This is my family letter, there are still seventy copies in my room, that is, our dead comrades, I promised them, to take them home, they think that the Han is loyal, but their family letter I will help them bring back, at this moment, I swear by this book, put this book in the study, I Gao Pet, will live and die with Shule"

The soldiers also let out an earth-shattering roar.

After the end of the city, Gao Chong returned to the study to put the family letter, and then retreated left and right, signaling Shaoyuan Wu Xu to stay, the book in the room became quiet, Gao Chong thought for a moment and then turned his back to Wu Xu and Shaoyuan and said, "Brother Wu, Shaoyuan, if I guess correctly, the Huns will attack the city in a few days, and you let the soldiers write a good family letter and hand it over here to keep together."

Wu Xu was puzzled, "General, this move is very likely to make the soldiers feel homesick, isn't it so morale?"

Gao Chong smiled and turned around, "Brother Wu, have you forgotten? This group of people are all sons of good families in the six counties, and their families are well-off, but they have not yet married a wife, they are bent on seeking honor, and they are ready, but I hope someone can bring their words home."

Shaoyuan was puzzled, "Ah Pet, who did you say about this? We are all going to live and die with Shule!"

Gao Chong said with a grim face, "Brother Wu, Shaoyuan, at the moment, our troops still have the strength to fight, but it is really only one battle, after we repelled them in a battle, Shaoyuan and Brother Wu took the soldiers who could still walk, went out from the West Gate, fled into the mountains, must return to Dahan, and pass our family letter"

Wu Xu shook his head resolutely, "Childe can't, Childe is still young, but I am the pillar of the future, don't be so hasty!"

Shaoyuan was not convinced: "Why do you want to break off, we have to run?"

Gao Pet smiled, "You are all people with wives, if you leave, leaving them orphans and widows, what can I do?"

Wu Xu saw that Gao Zhong actually took out a military order to suppress him for the first time, so he could only kneel down and take the order and said, "The last general, take the order, but, the general, the marquis and his wife, the last general ......"

Gao Chong shook his head, "My family letter will explain that since my Gao family is behind the gate, the horse leather shroud is the fate of the gate, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly, Brother Wu is good at training, and he will be scattered by the Dragon Guard, but Brother Wu is still there, we have left the fire, and over time, we will definitely be able to train a stronger Dragon Guard"

Shaoyuan didn't look over, "Don't look at it, I'm a prison army, and I'm at the same level as you."

Gao Zhong smiled helplessly, "The emperor has given the token here, and the army of Lu Jian obeys the order"

Shaoyuan was stunned, but he didn't expect Gao Pet to have this hand, "Ah Pet, you ......"

Gao Pet "If necessary, evacuate with the captain of the army, leave it to be useful, and save it for other days"
