That night, Xu Wu went to General Zhao and told General Zhao about Yuxi's guess. Of course, like last time, it was Huo Changqing's guess to say this.

General Zhao didn't have the heart to think too much at this time, and only asked Xu Wu: "Did your father-in-law say that he is so sure?" This is not child's play, you must know that fighting a war is a drum of vigor and then decay and exhaustion. If they let out these words, the northern captives did not withdraw within the time they spoke, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xu Wu said: "Ninety percent! My father-in-law said that as long as they can hold on, they will definitely retreat." "After burning the granary, even if there are other stored grains, so many people have reached the top after three days. However, this time is more sensitive, so let General Zhao measure it himself.

General Zhao nodded and said, "I see." ”

Xu Wu walked on the front foot, and General Zhao went to Qin Zhao on the back foot and told Qin Zhao about the situation: "I mean, release this news and let all the soldiers know it." In this way, the soldiers will have the bottom in their hearts, and they will be more brave in killing the enemy.

Qin Zhao hesitated a little: "What if it's not allowed?"

General Zhao looked at Qin Zhao and said, "With the current offensive of the captives in the north, we can't wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and we can only last for five or six days at most." Therefore, it is better to let the soldiers know that the northern captives will not be able to resist for five days, so that the morale can also rise, and we are a little more sure. "According to General Zhao's prediction, without food, it would be good for these northern captives to withstand three days, but the time was relaxed for two days, and there was room for turnaround.

Qin Zhao knew that now, there was no better way, so he nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The Northern Captivity Army attacked for two days and two nights in a row, without the slightest sign of retreat. Fortunately, a word has been released here, saying that as long as they hold out for five days, these northern captives will push ice because they have no food, so the soldiers also have the bottom of their hearts, and they will not despair about this. Don't think that this is a small thing, sometimes morale, determines the success or failure of this war.

Xu Wu got the news from the outside and said to Yuxi: "Madam, many officials in Yucheng fled from Yucheng last night with their families. "The officials Xu Wu said are all civilian officials.

Yuxi listened and asked, "Did Xia Tongzhi also escape?"

Xu Wu nodded and said, "Those officials in Yucheng have basically fled. "These things are greedy for life and afraid of death.

Yuxi didn't care, and said: "If you escape, you will escape, anyway, this group of wastes staying in Yucheng will not help." If these officials were willing to come forward, it would not be her turn to organize those women, children, old and young to rise up and help the soldiers who were fighting bloodily in front.

Xu Wu was silent.

At this time, Xi's mother walked in and said, "Madam, even Zhuangtou is out asking to see you." "Even the head of the village is sending things in. Of course, it was not the grain that was delivered, but the poultry raised on the Zhuangzi. Two days ago, Yuxi had people go and transport all the livestock on Zhuangzi into the city.

After Lian Zhuangtou came in, he didn't dare to look up at Yuxi, but knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to Yuxi, and said, "Madam, all the livestock that can be slaughtered have been sent." The things have been given to Han Steward. This means that the small ones that don't grow up don't come here.

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's hard work." ”

Lian Zhuangtou hurriedly said: "It's not hard, it's just that there aren't many things." "The chickens, ducks, pigs and other livestock raised on the Zhuangzi are all for Yunfu. Sent to the front line, those people are estimated to be able to drink only one sip of soup.

Yuxi said: "There are not many things, but they are also a little bit of our heart. "She can't do anything else, she can only make a small effort.

Even Zhuang Tou himself retreated from the battlefield, knowing very well that although this little thing is not much, it can warm the hearts of the front-line soldiers.

Yuxi asked, "Are those children okay in Zhuangzi?" Now that she is in crisis, she has no more time to pay attention to these children.

Even Zhuang Tou nodded and said, "It's all good." "Because of the war, no one knows what will happen, so the children in Zhuangzi are now a nest with a bowl of gruel every day. It's not that Lian Zhuangtou treats them harshly, but the situation is not clear, and it will be safer to keep food.

Yuxi bowed: "It's okay if the child is fine." By the way, is Fu Qingluo okay in Zhuangzi?" "I think at the beginning, Fu Qingluo shouted and shouted that women are no worse than men, and they want to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. As a result, Zi Jin went into battle to kill the enemy, but Fu Qingluo didn't see anyone.

Lian Zhuangtou was silent for a moment and said, "The grandmother of the Fu family came to find Miss Fu with her child six days ago, and then the grandmother Fu followed Grandma Fu away. "Grandma Fu is a female streamer, she fled with her daughter, her heart is not steady, Fu Qingluo has martial arts, and the martial arts of the guards around her are not low, with Fu Qingluo by her side, she is safer with her children.

Fu Qingluo was reluctant to leave at first, after all, this was the task given to her by Yuxi. But in the end, under the offensive of tears and pleading of Grandma Fu and her two nieces, she still left. However, Fu Qingluo did not take away all the female guards around him, but left half of the manpower.

Yuxi skipped the topic: "You can go back now! If Yucheng is breached, you take the children and hide them to ensure their safety." "At that time, just in case, a secret passage was dug on the Zhuangzi. However, only a few people know about this news.

Lian Zhuangtou kowtowed to Yuxi three more times and said, "Madame, don't worry, I will definitely protect the safety of those children." ”

Yuxi sighed, but didn't say anything.

After another day of fighting, the offensive of the Northern Captivity Army not only did not subside, but became more intense. The soldiers on the city wall fell down one by one, and one rose from the top. Those who have never been on the battlefield never know the cruelty of war.

Zi Jin raised her knife and cut off the head of a northern captive soldier. In the past three days and two nights, Zi Jin's eyes were red from killing, and she didn't know how many people she had killed.

Yu Zhi was a little anxious and said, "Zi Jin, let's go down and take a rest! You are like this, your body can't bear it!" In the past three days and two nights, Zi Jin has eaten a little bit of food, but she has no time to rest. Don't say that Zijin can't bear it as a woman, even he can't carry it himself.

Zijin said loudly, "I can hold on." With that, the broadsword slashed at the head of one of the northern captives who rushed up.

Yu Zhi knew that reasoning with Zijin would not work, so he simply grabbed her shoulders, dragged her aside, and said, "You are not an iron man, even if you don't sleep, come down with me to eat something." When you have eaten enough, you can continue to kill the enemy. He was worried that if he continued like this, Zijin would die of exhaustion.

Zijin was reluctant to go down.

Yu Zhi said coldly: "Zi Jin, you promised Madam that you would live to see her." If you go on like this, you don't need the brutes to kill you, you yourself will fall. Come down with me, and come up again when you are full. ”

At Yu Zhi's insistence, Zi Jin finally followed him down the city platform. Cauldrons were erected one by one under the castle platform. These cauldrons are steaming white, and of course, these cauldrons are not for cooking, but for boiling water. The boiling water was sent to the city tower and poured on the barbarians, and it was enough for them.

Yu Zhi walked to the cooking place with Zi Jin, looking at the cage of white and chubby steamed buns, Zi Jin's stomach growled, and she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. It was the first time since she had been starved like this since she had followed Madame.

A short, thin man approached them and said, "Come with me." "These steamed buns are for soldiers to eat, and ordinary people can't eat them. And Yu Zhi and Zi Jin don't need to prove their blood, they know their identities at a glance.

Pansy bypasses the railing outside, which is a sign that no one else can enter. Whether it's boiling water or cooking, it's all about demarcating the area, and you can't just walk around. Otherwise, it will be order, and it will not help, but add to the chaos.

Zi Jin walked up to a basket of steamed buns, and without being greeted, she grabbed a steamed bun and stuffed it in her mouth and ate it in a big gulp. I ate so fast that I choked.

Yu Zhi ate more gently, and when he saw this, he gently patted Zi Jin's back. At this time, a woman came over with two bowls of soup and said, "Take a sip of hot soup!"

Zi Jin took the soup and poured a big mouthful, and swallowed the bun. Zi Jin felt a little more comfortable, and said to Yu Zhi: "You also hurry up and eat, don't worry about me." ”

Yu Zhi nodded, took a sip of soup and said, "This soup seems to be chicken soup." "It's a little light, but you shouldn't be wrong.

Zi Jin was full of thoughts about killing the enemy at this time, and she didn't care what kind of soup she was drinking, and said, "Hurry up and eat, and if you eat it, you will go up and kill the enemy!"

Seeing this, Yu Zhi said, "Take a rest! You haven't closed your eyes for three days and two nights, take a break and kill again. ”

Yu Zhi had a very tough attitude at this time, and said: "No, rest for half an hour first, and I'll call you when it's time." "He didn't want Zijin to die of exhaustion.

At Yu Zhi's insistence, Zi Jin also regressed and said, "Okay." ”

Retired soldiers had a special resting place. Zi Jin and Yu Zhi were full of food and drink, so they went over to rest. However, before squinting and resting, Zijin was worried that she would not be able to wake up from her sleep, so she called a child who came to help and asked him to wake up in half an hour. The boy agreed in one bite.

When it was time, the kid woke up Zi Jian, and Yu Zhi was still sleeping soundly at this time! Zi Jin wanted Yu Zhi to sleep well, and she went to the battlefield alone! But her hand was held by Yu Zhi, and she couldn't get rid of it at all, so she could only wake Yu Zhi up.

Although it was the middle of the night, torches were lit all over the castle platform, just like daytime. Zi Jin and Yu Zhi quickly went to the city platform and started a new round of fighting.

Killing until dawn, Zi Jin asked, "Yu Zhi, do you feel that the offensive of these northern captives is not as fierce as a few days ago?"

Yu Zhi was also full of joy, and said, "Didn't you say that the grain and grass in the northern captivity were burned? They must not be able to support it!" Thinking of this, Yu Zhi was full of fighting spirit. As long as they hold on a little longer, they will be able to achieve the final victory. R1148
