Chapter 45: The Ambition to Defend the City

Gao Ran's old mother was arranged by Yanbei to Wu'an City in Handan...... Originally, he planned to place the old lady in Pingxiang City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

If it weren't for the rejection of Hou Hou's departure from the city for help, Yanbei would almost have given up this fortified city.

He has already paid too many lives under this city, and he has borne too many sins, even if he captures Handan, it will be difficult to make up for the loss of nearly 6,000 casualties.

But Frustrated's plea for help regained his confidence.

Yan Bei couldn't wait to see the reply from Fu Zhi, and he couldn't see the expression and appearance of any reinforcements.

Disappointment will spread among the defenders, and the battle will eventually be won by Yanbei!

Sometimes, no matter how high you learn, you can't reverse the bad luck.

However, on the third day, the soldiers who went to Yecheng to report the news ran back in the dust, and this time the scouts of the Yanbei siege deliberately let him pass through the city defense and enter Handan.

That night, Handan City was silent.

"Tell your subordinates to shoot the written letters into the city at night." After besieging the city for forty years, Yan Bei's tired look on his face was swept away, and he said to his subordinates with excited eyes: "In all directions, thousands of letters are all shot into the city tonight...... Remember, pull out the arrows! ”

Yanbei didn't want to give thousands of feather arrows to the defenders, and the most important thing about an arrow was the arrow cluster, which was a precious iron thing.

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the archers under the northern part of the school captain Yan went to the high wall, raised their heads and threw arrows wrapped in letters into the city. In the large battalion, many of the subordinates who could write wrote that there were no more reinforcements, and warned the defenders to give up resistance.

In fact, Yanbei doesn't know if this kind of calculation can take effect. This year...... How many are literate? A captain like him had only just learned a few hundred words, so what could he expect the people in the city to read the letters tied to the arrows?

The literacy rate of the Han Dynasty is not high, and the upper elites hold the books and the lifeblood of the world, so the people at the bottom can only do the same thing for generations.

For the rulers of this era, the more stupid the people, the better, after all, only if they have less things in their heads, can this person's heart not grow grass!

Standing on the hillside, facing the night breeze and looking at the towering Handan City, he was silent.

He doesn't understand any public opinion, but he understands what a person is, especially what a big-headed soldier is...... Everyone has a curiosity, doesn't they? Yanbei didn't know where the few poor scholars in the city were. But he knew that as long as his arrows entered the city, the defenders of Handan would naturally hold letters to help him find those few scholars and help him finish these unfinished things.

All he could do now was wait.

Everything is like wine, and the longer it takes, the more the aromas will spill through the lid.

The northern part of Yan united with the chieftains of Wuhuan to attack the city everywhere, holding torches to ignite the counties and counties of Jizhou, and from the beginning of the Zhongshan Kingdom, it was like an open gate tiger with an invincible posture to attack one after another, and for a time the sentinel who came and went to deliver the message was about to break the horse's leg.

Often, the last good news has just been sent to the fat Rutun army camp of the general Zhang Chun, and the second good news has been quickly set off from Yanbei.

Even the soldiers and horses of several Wuhuan chieftains, Yanbei's record is also outstanding.

But all this was seen by Zhang Chun, but he was not so happy.

How did he get happy?

With a fierce general like Yanbei, on the surface, it seems that any lord would feel happy, but Zhang Chun couldn't be happy.

A heroic and combative hero often means great danger to the enemy, and a subordinate like Yan Bei who seems to be a little disrespectful to his orders...... That's what it feels like to Zhang Chun.

Danger, great danger!

Pershing's death seemed to cause Zhang Chun to cut off an arm, and then the battle report sent by the knight to Feiru like a snowflake was even more glaring.

But Yan Dong couldn't be killed in his hands, whenever Zhang Chun sat at the end of the fat banquet and saw Yan Dong's face that was not much different from Yan Bei, he hated it.

Who would have thought that he didn't care about leaving Yanbei's life at that time, but today it has become a big trend?

……

The next day, he stood at the head of Handan City with arrows in his hands, looking at the heavy military formations outside the city and speechless.

It's been so many years, and I've never felt so tricky.

Yellow Turbans or rebellions...... Fu Zhu is not a person who has not experienced a big battle, although his background is not as good as those who are famous all over the world, but the vision of Hebei celebrities will naturally not be low, and he even has a little personal relationship with Wang Fen, the assassin of Jizhou.

He didn't plan to let Wang Fen lead the troops to conquer Yanbei, but he just wanted him to send troops here.

In the opinion of Fu Zhu, although there are many thieves in the northern part of Yan outside the city, they are not military strongmen in the formation, but if there are 5,000 soldiers who should join forces with the outside, they will definitely be able to be booby-trapped with one blow.

But he never expected that Wang Fen would run away because of the conspiracy to abolish the emperor...... Even the Jizhou Assassin has fled, and the Taishou in various places are fighting separately, where will they still be the opponents of the rebels?

After a while, once the Wuhuan in the north gathers troops to the south, and then assists the warrior Yanbei to attack the rebels, don't say that Jizhou is not guaranteed, even if it is Qingzhou and other places, where can the pace of the Wuhuan army be stopped?

Thinking of this, Fu Zhu gritted his teeth and threw the arrow into the ground, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Wang Fen mistook me!" ”

Beside Fu Zhu, there was a warrior in armor and a sharp man, and his resolute face was worried and asked, "Is there a good way for the public to retreat from the enemy?" ”

In fact, it was the county lieutenant's job to lead the troops to fight and defend the city, but in this Handan City, everyone was only the county magistrate who gave the horse the first step, even the county lieutenant who commanded the county soldiers, and also agreed with the resourcefulness of the county commander in guarding the city.

He glanced at the county lieutenant indifferently, shook his head with a somewhat deplorable face, raised his hand and pointed to the wounded soldiers all over the city wall and said, "Without reinforcements, tens of thousands of people in Handan can only rely on these more than 3,000 soldiers...... Frustrated, there is no other way. ”

Although the thieves outside the city are a rabble, they have been in battle for a long time, and most of these county soldiers in the city have never even experienced war, and they are not even as good as the rabble!

The whole city was full of mourning, frustrated by the smell of blood of the wounded soldiers in robes, and shuttled back and forth on the city to comfort those wounded soldiers...... Everyone's faces were ashen, and a letter from Yanbei shot into the city, which was constantly circulated among these Han troops defending the city, and the news that there were no reinforcements had already spread throughout the entire army.

"County Honor...... Really, are there no reinforcements? ”

Looking at the young face of the county soldier who lost his arm in the rebel siege in front of him, he couldn't bear to deceive this child who regarded him as an elder, pursed his lips and paused for a long time before asking: "Child, how old are you this year, are you...... Who? ”

The resolute Han army boy gritted his teeth, but he couldn't resist the sourness on the tip of his nose no matter what, even if his arm was cut off by the rebels, he never snorted, but now seeing that he avoided answering the questions of the reinforcements, the tears in his eyes spread down and passed through the whole face stained with mud and blood.

There really isn't...... Reinforcements are out.

Tear stains washed away the blood on his face, piercing two marks...... But doesn't this penetrate the heart of frustration?

"The county is respected, you can't descend, you can't ......"

The young Han army struggled to turn his head, and through the battlements, he saw the bustling streets of Handan City, and also saw the majestic martial spirit platform, which was the home where he was born and raised.

Don't let it fall!

When he fell, his arms were lost in vain, and his robe died in vain, and those hatreds could no longer be avenged, and hatred could not be blooded!

"Don't fall!"

Nodding firmly, he lifted his robe and clutched the hilt of his sword at his waist, but his fingers kept trembling. The young soldier with a broken arm couldn't shake his heart, but the same ...... The banner of the swallow thief outside the city can't take away his ambition!

He is the respect of a county, and Handan City is a Xiongcheng of Jizhou.

Even if there is no way to defend the city, there is also the will to die!

There is only one thought in his heart, Handan City cannot be lost. Even if you have to lose it, you can't throw it away now.

At this time, the white wave thieves in the east of the river, the horse thieves in Yizhou, the Qiang chaos in Liangzhou, and the Zhang Chun Zhang Ju in Zhongshan claimed the system without authorization, and the world was in trouble...... The emperor of Luoyang City has been mediocre for half a lifetime, and finally has a little wisdom, and he can't control it in other places, but since it is the order of Handan County, how can he be deflated first when the world is rising?

What's more, not to mention that it is for the world, even if it is just for Jizhou, the frustration cannot let Handan City be lost.

Yecheng suddenly underwent a great change, and Wang Fen recruited ten thousand troops to disperse with his escape. If Handan is not lost, Jizhou still has the possibility of attacking back, and if Handan changes hands, Yecheng cannot be defended.

If Yecheng is lost, the entire territory of Jizhou will collapse immediately.

"The sergeants, you are all Han soldiers, and the public is also Han Chen...... Although we are small, we are unstoppable! Frustrated with his palm, he patted the wounded soldier in front of him lightly on the shoulder, suddenly drew his sword and stood up on the head of the city and shouted, "There are no reinforcements!" Assassin Wang Fen plotted to flee, the soldiers of Yecheng have dispersed, and I am determined to live and die with Handan, I hope you will help me! ”

At this moment, he knew that it was a bit frustrating to say such a thing.

But he didn't want to deceive these soldiers, and he couldn't suppress them like no one. Even though he knew that after telling the soldiers that there were no reinforcements, there might be deserters leaving the city tonight.

He couldn't help it...... He wants to defend the city, even if the city is broken and the streets are fighting, even if he wants to defend the county government, he will defend it.

In the end, you are the only one who is alone!

When he went up to the city again, there was an extra piece of leather armor in addition to his robe.

And he passed through the city tonight.

Looking at the starry sky on the horizon and the black banner army array under the city, he couldn't help but doubt...... Can the Han family's world still be kept?

Rebellions in various places, can the imperial court really be exterminated?

If so, then where are the reinforcements?

Fu Gong and he did not have the divine power of an uncertain prophet, but he knew very well that this moment was a change that had not been seen in the Han Dynasty for 400 years...... It's just that where this road will go, it's like a path hidden in a thick fog, and you can't see the future.
