In the distance, the blue sky was filled with white clouds, and under the sudden appearance of the sunset, there were flickering and jumping flames, and with the majesty of dusk, the flames seemed to be moving, and seemed to be spreading around.

Immediately after, a red sunset hit the city of Fengzhou, and the scene here is completely different, the original sky is completely covered by billowing smoke, after months of war, the towering city wall has also become a broken wall, the flag inserted at the battlement mouth is also burned and broken, and some even only bare wooden poles remain.

The city wall is full of scorched black marks that have been burned by fire, and the smoke is mixed with the stench of burnt smell, and the pseudo-Qi rebels in the city have experienced two hours of life and death struggle, although the current ** has slowly withdrawn, but the surviving pseudo-Qi soldiers on the city wall can't beat any spirit.

There are stretchers everywhere to transport the wounded, the wounded soldiers are holding each other and walking towards the road of the city, the reserve team under the city quickly climbs the city wall to change the guard, the soldiers near the battlement are cleaning the ladder left by **, and a small group of soldiers are organizing the fire extinguishing at the head of the city, and the flag in the hands of the soldiers who climb the city wall is replaced.

"General Zhang, how many people do we estimate left?" Huang Chao, who was full of sadness, looked at the ** who retreated in an orderly manner under the city, and there was no trace of vitality in his tone: "The grain and grass are almost gone, right?" ”

"Your Majesty! Take care! Zhang Guiba, who was in charge of the entire defense of Fengzhou, frowned, looked at Huang Chao with a painful face, gritted his teeth, and replied in a deep voice: "Grain and grass, grain and grass are less than five days!" According to the preliminary statistics just now, there are probably more than 30,000 people in our army now! ”

"More than 30,000? Hehe! Do you really think I'm not aware of the current situation? Huang Chao smiled bitterly, although he knew that Zhang Guiba had concealed the tragic situation for his own good, but his tone still carried a hint of reproach, turned his head and glared at the henchman beside him, then took a deep breath, sighed, and said, "Alas! I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. So fast, so soon to lose! It seems that everything is my fault! ”

"Your Majesty! It's all our incompetence! I can't share your Majesty's worries! Hearing this, Zhang Guiba also knew that Huang Chao was lamenting the defeat and surrender of Shang Rang in Wuzhangyuan a while ago, but Zhang Guiba didn't know how to persuade him, so he raised his eyes and looked around, and proposed in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's not too early!" Today's ** attack has been repulsed, so let's leave it to the last general to deal with here! Your Majesty should go back and rest early, it is important to take care of the dragon's body! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, as long as the last general still has a breath of air, he will definitely not let the ** succeed! ”

"Hey!" Huang Chao didn't care about Zhang Guiba's assurance, and did not immediately follow the other party's proposal to leave the city, but walked to the battlement, propped his hands on the shattered city wall stones bombarded by the ballista of the Feng family's army, and looked at the corpses under the city, his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

After being silent for a long time, Huang Chao suddenly turned around, raised his arm and put it on Zhang Guiba's shoulder, looking at the cronies and generals in front of him who were running around in the smoke and fire and causing their faces to become dirty, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and said with deep emotion: "Guiba! These days, you and Guihou have worked hard! Now, except for Li Yan who is scattered, there are only two of you brothers left who can accompany me! No matter what, even if this Fengzhou is lost, you two brothers will never be able to leave my side again! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured! My brothers are not treacherous! I will swear allegiance to Your Majesty! Zhang Guiba was also infected by his words, and suddenly felt that the fatigue that he had carried on his body in recent days was swept away, his waist straightened, and he solemnly hugged his fist at Huang Chao, and promised in a sonorous and powerful voice: "The last general swears!" Even if the battle is to the end, only the last general is left, and he will swear allegiance to His Majesty and Daqi to the death! No matter who wants to hurt Your Majesty and wants to enter Fengzhou City, then step over my Zhang Guiba's corpse first! ”

"Your Majesty! The last general is the same as his brother! Zhang Guihou, who had arranged military defense nearby just now, also arrived at Huang Chao's side at this time, and after hearing his brother's oath, he didn't care about reporting the situation, and went straight to Huang Chao with a fist, showing his loyalty and courage.

"Don't be polite! You two are tired enough! Let's do without all these etiquettes! Although he got the oath of the two henchmen, Huang Chao was not happy at all, after all, the current situation, the entire Fengzhou City was already precarious, how could Huang Chao still have the heart to think about this. What's more, even Huang Chao's most trusted person, Shang Rang, the number two person in the puppet Qi regime, has already betrayed, how can Huang Chao take these guarantees seriously.

"Your Majesty, the results just now have been roughly counted!" The two brothers of the Zhang family did not show their joy when they saw Huang Chao as they imagined, and the two had no choice but to retreat to the side, and then Zhang Guihou hesitated slightly, and reported the results of the battle just now: "Today's ** offensive is much more fierce than the one a few days ago!" And it lasted for a long time, so this time, the casualties of our army were somewhat serious! ”

"Let's just say it! I can still handle it! I don't know if Huang Chao is trying to get closer to the two henchmen in front of him, or if the tragic failure has made him lose his ambition to continue to dominate, and he has quietly changed his self-title.

"Dead and wounded, super, more than seven thousand." Zhang Guihou nodded, secretly glanced at Huang Chao's face, and then reported in a low voice, then paused for a moment and continued to add in a low voice: "Mostly, most of them can't fight anymore." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Guiba on the side was obviously shocked, although he had thought that the casualties would increase greatly this time, but he didn't expect it to be twice as many as in the city defense battle a few days ago, and at the same time, the number of all the soldiers under the command of the squadron in his mind was recalculated again, and a surprising number was suddenly obtained.

"Right now, our army doesn't even have enough 30,000 people, right?" Before Zhang Guiba came back to his senses, Huang Chao suddenly spoke, and despair had already appeared on his old face, and then smiled at Zhang Guiba, who had lied to him just now, reached out and patted the other party's shoulder, and comforted the other party in a low voice: "I can understand your feelings!" Rest assured! Even if there are only these people, ** will not be able to attack Fengzhou for a while! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Zhang Guiba nodded first, then secretly gritted his teeth, and said something that shocked Huang Chao: "Actually, in fact, there are more than these, in fact, our army is only now, only more than 20,000 people!" I'm afraid, I'm afraid next time, **again. ”

"How so?!" Huang Chaodeng's eyes widened, and when his anger had not all rushed to the top of his head, he suddenly deflated again, then shook his head, smiled bitterly again, sighed slowly, slowly turned around, waved his hand at the Zhang family brothers behind him, and sighed extremely lonely: "**It will be a few days before I fight!" Anyway, we don't have much military food, so let's rest for two days, give up Fengzhou, and retreat to Sanguan first! ”

"Yes! The last general commands! Looking at Huang Chao's down-and-out back, the Zhang brothers glanced at each other, raised their arms helplessly, and hugged the slightly rickety back, but then, the bodies of the two shook at the same time, and their eyes then looked at a familiar figure running towards Huang Chao.
