Chapter 805: Letter from the capital

Mo Wen was also injured, and a stray arrow shot him in the thigh, bleeding a lot. Although not lethal, these days, he can only sit and command. For the appearance of the soldiers under his command, Mo Wen couldn't be more satisfied. After surviving the initial brutal test, the officers and men of the Prince Prince's Army gradually grew up, adapted to the war, and found a more effective way to protect themselves and destroy the enemy!

This is the only way to firmly hold Zhenjiang City under the crazy offensive of the Han Wang's army day and night......

However, looking at the soldiers under his command who have been on the verge of the limit countless times and have survived, Mo Wen knows that this time, he may really not be able to survive...... The north city wall has collapsed, and Wu Wei leaned on the temporary wooden fence for six days, but the casualties also jumped from the original lowest to the highest at once!

On the east city wall, more than sixty percent of the casualties have been killed, and Xu Huaiqing has to rely on the people to go up!

On the west city wall, the guard Cheng Zheng fought bloodily, was injured in dozens of places, and finally died the day before yesterday. The lieutenant who succeeded him was also killed yesterday. The one who commanded there today was a thousand households. Because all the officers who were greater than him were sacrificed......

And the southern city wall that Mo Wen and Erhei are responsible for is the main direction of attack of the Han Dynasty's army, not to mention the losses. If it hadn't been for Xue Lu's reserves, it would have been broken a long time ago......

What's even more terrifying is that he has no cards in his hand, which means that all the guards can only rely on themselves. Once you can't stand it, it's time for the city wall to break!

"Old Mo," one of Erhei's eyes was hit by a gun, and he was hastily tied with strips of cloth and became a one-eyed dragon. At this moment, he squinted his remaining eye, sat crookedly beside Mo Wen, and asked in a low voice: "You give me an explanation, whether the reinforcements will come or not." ”

"Come on." Mo Wen nodded without hesitation.

"When?" Erhei asked.

"Anytime." Mo asked.

"Really?" This was the interlude period of the enemy's siege, and Xue Huan also came over, although he was very real, he didn't quite believe Mo Wen's words: "I know that in the entire south, no army will come to support." ”

"Of course, it's the army sent by the emperor." Mo asked: "The army will get on the ship from Tianjin and enter the Yangtze River by sea, and it will be possible to reach Zhenjiang in six days at most." After a pause, he said, "Count the days, it's almost time." ”

"Well, if the adults are qiē shun lì, it is indeed time to arrive." Erhei nodded.

"If you can't trust me, can't you trust adults?" Mo Wen nodded and said to Xue Huan: "Tell the soldiers, you must hold on, and you must not fall before dawn." ”

"Hmm." The two nodded, got up, and went separately to appease the soldiers.

Looking at their backs, Mo Wen's expression was extremely apologetic...... Because he was lying to his brother, there would be no reinforcements. Just yesterday, a carrier pigeon flew into Zhenjiang City and brought Zhu Zhanji's secret letter. The content of the letter was only known to the prince and Mo Wen, and even those who knew that the letter was stored were no more than five people.

On the letter, Zhu Zhanji told the attitude of the prince Zhu Di - the emperor wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and he will not send troops to save him!

After reading the letter, the prince was stunned. Shut himself in the house and don't show his face until now. The prince can be willful, don't ask if he can't, the soldiers guarding the city are still looking at him. Mo Wen concealed his despair, returned to his position, and while commanding the defense of the city, he pondered repeatedly whether to tell them the truth.

In this precarious moment, he wanted to be honest with his brothers, but when the words came to his lips just now, he still lied after all...... His instincts as a general dominate him, so that he can't tell the truth! Because he can see that Erhei and Xue Huan are on the verge of collapse, and the reason why they haven't collapsed is nothing more than because of their blind trust in Wang Xian and the luck psychology of not admitting defeat.

Once they tell them the truth, I am afraid that the two of them will immediately lose their fighting spirit, and the soldiers under their command will also collapse......

As a general, Mo Wen instinctively avoided this situation, he didn't want to lose, even if he held on for a while, he was willing to pay a qiē.

But is that really right? Mo asked himself and fell into a deep confusion.

Fortunately, he didn't get confused for long, and the attack of the Han Wangjun began again, and Mo Wen hurriedly threw away the messy thoughts and threw himself into commanding the operation......

Under the city, the banner of the King of Han was flying high, and Zhu Gaoxu still had that indifferent expression, watching the start of another attack.

"I wonder what will happen this time?" Wang Bin has been stubbornly defended, and he has lost all his confidence.

"This king doesn't care." Zhu Gaoxu said with a cold expression: "If you can't attack it this time, you will do it next time." The rope is sawn and the wood is broken, and the water drops are worn by the stone. It's going to take it down. ”

"yes." Wang Bin sighed: "After these days of fierce battles, the losses of the prince's army should be more than thirty or forty thousand, but our reinforcements continue to arrive. Saying that, he gritted his teeth and said, "Consume them too!" ”

"Not bad." Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said coldly: "This king doesn't want to lose numbers, just Zhenjiang City." ”

While the two were talking, they saw a number of fast horses galloping towards them, and they saw the knight on the horse, with a red flag on his back, and it was a fast ride of eight hundred miles!

Running closer, these dusty cavalrymen turned over and dismounted, Zhu Gaoxu's martial arts and eyesight were superhuman, seeing that their mounts were already foaming at the mouth, the horse's belly was violently undulating, and they were trembling as if they were swinging. Zhu Gaoxu knew that these horses had been scrapped...... War horses are very simple animals, never know what to do, as long as the owner keeps urging, they will run desperately to death.

Therefore, squeezing out horsepower has always been a taboo for cavalry, even if it is 800 miles in an emergency, it will not use the horse to death. There is only one circumstance in which a cavalry would be like this - and that is something very big! Every second counts to report!

Sure enough, after rolling the saddle and dismounting, several cavalrymen rushed straight over without breathing. The guards hurriedly stopped and shouted, "What are you doing!" ”

"Eight hundred miles of the capital is urgent!" The cavalry led by him said in a deep voice: "Take me to the prince!" ”

Hearing the words 'Eight hundred miles of the capital is urgent', Zhu Gaoxu's heart seemed to stop beating. He knows that there is a letter in the capital, and it depends on the content of the king!

Wang Bin obviously knew about it, and he waved his hand busily, and his voice trembled: "Let them come over!" ”

The soldiers hurried out of the way, and the messenger galloped to the banner, and in a hurry, he tripped over a stone under his feet and fell into the dust.

This small accident made King Han's face even darker, and his heart was unlucky.

The messenger hurriedly got up, ran to the king of Han and knelt down, untied the bamboo tube from his back, and raised his hands high. "Eight hundred miles of the capital is urgent!"

Wang Bin hurriedly took the bamboo tube, inspected the fire paint seal, and saw that it was intact, so he unscrewed the bamboo tube with force and took out an oiled paper bag inside. The oiled paper package was also sealed with fire paint, and when it was torn open, a letter lay inside.

Wang Bin held the letter, his hands trembled slightly, he walked up to the king of Han and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang......"

King Han took it, tore off the seal, took out the letter and opened it to take a look, and the whole person froze there.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang!" When Wang Bin saw that he didn't move, he was frightened, and he couldn't care about his dignity anymore, so he called out repeatedly.

At this moment, King Han only felt that the sky was spinning, like falling into a bottomless abyss, how could he hear his movements?

Seeing that there was no reaction, Wang Bin knew that something bad was wrong, and finally couldn't help but lean over, and when he saw the content of the letter, his soul was scattered. I saw that on the letter paper, there were only two simple lines of poetry:

'Yan Dan doesn't stand up, and the palace of Emperor Qin is empty. ’

Yan Dan is the prince Dan of Yan during the Warring States Period, and the most famous thing he has done is to send Jing Ke to assassinate Qin Shi Huang, but he didn't succeed, and he put his own life on the line...... Although Wang Bin is a martial artist, he also knows this story that is well known to women and children. He also knew the meaning behind the two poems sent by the 800-mile rush - the assassination of Zhu Di failed!

These days, the situation that I have been most worried about has finally happened! In an instant, Wang Bin had an urge to kill King Han with a knife, ******! This will kill you!

Fortunately, the remnants of reason told Wang Bin that at this time everyone was a grasshopper on a rope, and King Han was finished, and he would definitely not be able to run!

He was silent, waiting for King Han to come back to his senses......

At this time, the generals of the Han Dynasty not far away also discovered their strangeness. Just now, they heard the sound of 'eight hundred miles in the capital urgently', but now seeing that the prince and Wang Bin were lost, the hearts of all the generals sank, and they said secretly: 'Is it possible, the emperor has sent troops?!' Naturally, not too many people will know about the assassination of Zhu Di, and most of them are still in the dark.

But no one dared to ask, they could only wait for King Han to speak.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, even the shouting and killing sound on the head of the city seemed to be gradually getting smaller, and His Royal Highness the King of Han finally raised his head, looked at Wang Bin with a frightened face, and said softly: "Relax, the sky can't fall." Then he stood up and raised his voice and said, "That's all for today." With that, he walked away.

Wang Bin was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and ordered: "Mingjin retreats!" ”

Soon, the sound of gold resounded under the city, and the soldiers besieging the city withdrew from the city like a low tide, and the battle came to an abrupt end......

Wang Bin was surrounded by the generals and asked, "Lao Wang, you tell the truth, what's wrong?" "Did the emperor send troops?" "Don't try to hide it from us, we've seen it all!"

Wang Bin was bombed, but where did he dare to confide half a word, he could only say with a bitter face: "There is something that the prince will announce." Even if you kill me, I can't say it......"

"Hey...... "Seeing that he is so resolute, the generals have lost their temper, so they can't really beat him to death." Forget it, let's go back to camp. In the evening, the prince should have an explanation. ”

The generals got on their horses and returned to the camp, looking at their figures, and then looking at the remnant sun in the west, Wang Bin was desperate.
