In the early morning of summer, insects are noisy.

Before the sky fully dawned, in a valley surrounded by woods not far from Nanzhe City, more than 400 people were gathering here, standing or sitting in a circle, listening to the impromptu group in a casual manner. long command.

Umekawa Kuko stood on the small mound in the center, holding a "trumpet" made of paper in his hand, and shouted at the crowd with his arms akimbo: "We lost yesterday, and we lost quite thoroughly, not because we were too weak , but because the enemy is too strong, no wonder we, but we have to adjust our strategy accordingly.

"I know that everyone here is ambitious and will not give up this mission just because of one failure. We will learn from yesterday's lesson. Today we must set a clear goal and focus on one place. We don't want to stop the Huns from attacking. I just want to kill the enemy and cut monsters, and try to kill a thousand Xiongnu soldiers!"

As soon as his words fell, there were unconfident rebuttals from around.

"One thousand is too much, it's impossible!"

"I didn't even cut a hundred yesterday."

"Those red-named monsters are really too strong. At least three or four of us must besiege one to kill them."

"To tell you the truth, whenever the Xiongnu soldiers raised their swords, my eyes closed involuntarily."

"Yesterday, I failed because everyone's attack was too chaotic, and there was no cooperation at all," Umekawa Kuko shouted. , pay attention to strategy, since everyone has chosen me as the head of the rescue team, I hope you can follow my command unconditionally, otherwise it will only repeat yesterday's tragedy.

"Okay, now I'm going to divide into groups, a team of five, each team has a captain, and the captain leads the team to kill monsters.

"If you really dare not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, come and tell me in advance, you will form an equipment team, specially pick up equipment to the resurrection point, and give them a set of equipment when you see someone resurrected.

"There are also some individual players who signed up to form a group on the forum. They haven't gone online yet, or they haven't found a base after they go online. Anyone who knows anyone can let them know and tell them to come over quickly and start grouping now."

"General, another 240 people failed to survive last night."

Lu Xian walked slowly in the barracks, glanced at the corpses covered with white cloth on both sides, and frowned tightly as he listened to the numbers reported by his subordinates.

These dead soldiers are the bravest veterans of the Yongzhou Army. They should have stood on the city wall with high spirits, fighting side by side with everyone with weapons in hand, instead of dying here so easily, dying of vomiting, diarrhea and Amid the bleeding from the seven orifices, there is no dignity as a soldier.

All these hardships are because of Kong...

Just at this moment, another corpse was transported here.

Seeing the soldier's blue and black face being covered with a white cloth with his own eyes, Lu Mian glared and gnashed his teeth: "Kong's thief, if he falls into my hands one day, he will be cut into pieces. Non-killers are not enough to thank the world!"

"General Lu, the Xiongnu attacked the city again!" Just as he was indignant, a soldier hurried in to report.

"Siege the city again, less than an hour since the last time!" Lu Mian clenched his fists, turned around and asked, "The general has gone to the tower?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Lu Xian stopped staying and hurried towards the east gate.

Arriving on the city wall, I saw Xun Zhou commanding the defenders to throw weapons down the city.

Arrows rained down, and the logs and rocks fell obliquely. The two intersected with almost no gaps. Even though the defense was so tight, some Hun soldiers escaped the attack and climbed up to the wall when the soldiers were tired.

Xun Zhou's face was serious, his clear eyes swept across the city wall, and instantly locked the gap in the defense. Before the Xiongnu's helmet hit the city wall, he swung his horse and cut him off the city wall. After the crisis was temporarily resolved, he did not blame the fallen soldiers, but It is to immediately recruit soldiers from another place to replace the guards here.

Seeing the general's orderly actions, Lu Xian's sense of impetuousness and uneasiness weakened, and he immediately drew out his long knife and stepped forward to help.

At present, the food, grass and armaments in the city are quite sufficient, and the only shortage is the soldiers.

The physical strength of the soldiers is limited, and it is difficult to rotate if they are not enough. Under the intensive day and night attacks of the Xiongnu army, the defenders will become more and more exhausted until they cannot hold on and are taken advantage of by the enemy.

The defenders of Nanzhe City, from generals to soldiers, are now reaching their limits.

The long knife slashed across the neck of the Xiongnu soldier, and the bright red blood splashed on the city wall.

Lu Xian wiped the hot sweat off his head with his sleeve, and looked back at the city wall. The sunlight covering the guards was dazzling, and the sounds of fighting filled his ears.

I don't know if it was because of being too tired, but at a certain moment, he felt dizzy and deaf.

They have been on guard day and night for six days, and it is not known whether the distress letter sent to Yizhou has been delivered or not?

Can you hold on for a few more days, can you wait until the arrival of the rescue army?

These questions flashed through his mind, and Lu Xian quickly put them behind him. He didn't dare to think about it any more. He just kept waving his knife at the enemy, his eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he kept killing the enemy. Kill the enemy!

At some point, the Xiongnu's offensive seemed to slow down.

Lu Xian thought they were going to suspend the attack, and was wondering why the attack time was so short, when suddenly a soldier's loud report came from his ears: "Emissary, General Lu, there are reinforcements, our reinforcements!"

"Reinforcement?" Lu Mian opened his eyes wide, and immediately rushed to the city wall to look into the distance.

Behind the Huns army, a group of unknown figures in gray clothes were fighting with the Huns infantry with their weapons.

"These are not reinforcements." Xun Zhou also walked over, looking ahead like a torch.

Although they were far away, those who rushed into the battlefield were obviously not wearing soldier uniforms. From a distance, they were unkempt and unkempt, and they looked like robbers in the mountains.

It can be said that they are robbers, and these people are quite disciplined. When facing the enemy, several people follow the command to fight, and even when the weapons are used indiscriminately, relying on the tacit cooperation between the teams, they are still killed by them There were many Huns soldiers.

"It should be an army organized by the people spontaneously, just like the Lingzhou Beggar Army," Lu Xian said with a frown, "but the leader of the civilian army seems to have formed this army to help us."

"Yesterday, a group of people also rushed into the battlefield, but they were quickly killed." A soldier suddenly remembered.

"Civilian Army..." Xun Zhou muttered silently, looking at the civilians rushing into the battlefield, he frowned slightly and sighed.

Lu Xian also had mixed feelings in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

In fact, they all know how they can defeat the well-trained Xiongnu elite soldiers with only so few untrained ordinary people. It's just time.

When I saw a peasant soldier rushing forward to the cavalry with a weapon, the enemy's spears were pierced into his stomach, and before he died, he raised his weapon and slashed a knife on the Huns' horse, so he died generously The scene made Lu Xian's nose sour, and his throat felt uncomfortable like a stone was choked.

"It's great, it's not worth it for the people of Yongzhou!" Xun Zhou sighed, then calmly turned around, and ordered: "The order is passed on, let the soldiers who guard the city for three consecutive days go down to rest first, this time is the people's lives. From now on, even if there are only one soldier and one general left in the city, you must fight to the end, and you must not disappoint the lives of the people."

"promise!"

·

Because he had to hurry, he passed Xunyang on the way, and Jiang Shu didn't go into the city to visit his parents, but went directly along the official road towards Zhuning County, Yizhou.

After walking for nearly ten days, the team finally arrived outside Guishan City where the state government is located.

When the city gate guard learned the identity of the visitor, he immediately went to report to the governor.

About a quarter of an hour later, a team of officers and soldiers ran over, intercepted the civilians on both sides, and opened the city gate avenue, allowing the handsome man in white to ride through the center of the road with a dozen of his troops led by him.

When they arrived in front of Jiang Shu and the others, the leader leaned back and tightened the reins to stop the horse in a smart and agile manner. His eyes locked on Jiang Shu, who was in the center of the crowd, raised his eyebrows slightly and raised the corners of his lips.

With just one glance, Jiang Shu confirmed the identity of the other party, it was Liu Lang, the governor of Yizhou.

The reason is very simple, the opposite party's pair of slightly raised peach blossom eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as the original owner Jiang Shu's eyes.

People say that a nephew is like an uncle, but it really is not a lie.

Since the other party also came on horseback, Jiang Shu didn't get off the horse, and directly cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Shu, I pay my respects to Inspector Liu."

"Family, don't be polite!" Liu Lang looked him up and down several times with a smile, and then glanced at the more than 500 county soldiers behind him, and said: "Come to visit my uncle, and bring these many soldiers? "

Jiang Shurong said seriously: "I have something urgent to discuss with you, these soldiers just let them stay outside the city."

Liu Lang raised his eyebrows slightly, pulled the rein and turned the horse's head, saying: "Then follow me!"

After finishing speaking, as soon as his right leg hit the horse's belly, he ran forward like this.

Jiang Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly turned back to order the captain of the county soldiers to take the team to station outside to rest, and then followed the team in front of him with fifty songs, and stepped into the city gate.

·

"Come on, what's the rush?" Liu Lang seemed to be in a hurry, as soon as he stepped into the official hall, he sat in front of the hall and asked Jiang Shu about the business.

However, his style of acting was exactly in line with Jiang Shu's intentions at this time. After being led by the waiter to sit in the side seat, he explained his intentions in detail.

"Borrowing troops?" Liu Lang frowned slightly, "Two days ago, I did receive a request for help from Governor Xun, but given the current situation in Nanzhe City, it was too late to send troops to rescue, and the Yizhou Army went there, I'm afraid it would be a waste of time. field."

"But I have a different idea from Uncle. Old General Xun is holding on to Nanzhe City. Even if the situation is not optimistic, it is completely impossible to keep it for more than ten days. Sending troops at this time may be just in time to save them, and even if they cannot catch up, they can save them." Going down to other cities in South County is also worthwhile."

Liu Lang shook his head: "Shu'er is still young and energetic, General Xun once had [-] troops under his command, but now he is still retreating steadily under the Huns, it is not easy to save Shannan County.

"General Xun is a loyal and good general. He is in trouble now. Don't I want to help him? But the Xiongnu attacked the city with an army of 3. We have to send at least [-] horses to have a chance of winning down Shannan County. The Yizhou army only has [-] in total. After dispatching all of them, who will protect the safety of our Yizhou? Besides, gathering an army is such an easy task, and the time it takes to collect food and grass is enough to destroy Nanzhe City twice."

Jiang Shu said clearly: "I don't need 3 troops, I just want to borrow [-] troops from Uncle."

Liu Lang raised his eyebrows and looked at him sideways: "Five thousand soldiers? What can we do?"

"If we can make it in time, it will be enough to defend Shannan County."

Seeing that Liu Lang was still disapproving, Jiang Shu said, "I'm not completely unprepared for this trip, I know uncle likes to drink, Miryang produces good wine, and the supply is always in short supply. Let me borrow your troops, from now on, the wine produced in Miryang must be supplied to the caravans in Yizhou first, how about that?"

Staring at the bright and handsome young face of the young man in red, Liu Lang's eyelids twitched slightly. In his heart, he loved this nephew who acted resolutely and extraordinaryly, but also felt a headache because the request made by the other party was not satisfactory, so he smacked his tongue lightly. Said: "You work in Xingjun, why do you have to save Yongzhou?"

"There are many reasons. First, General Xun is the father of my friend. Xun Rongyue helped me many times. He is in trouble now. I can't stand by. Second, Yongzhou borders Xunzhou. Once Yongzhou is captured, the Xiongnu will go deep into our country Sooner or later, the hinterland will threaten the safety of Yanqiao." Jiang Shu replied calmly, and then asked: "Uncle is the governor of Yizhou, don't you worry about being watched by tigers all the time in the future?"

This question really hurts my heart!

Liu Lang pursed his lips, but didn't answer, then suddenly got up and turned his back to Jiang Shu, nodding and shaking his head, looking very conflicted.

After thinking for a long time, until the tea soup in Jiang Shu's cup had turned cold, he finally sighed, turned around and said, "Fine, it will be as you wish."

Jiang Shu opened his eyes wide, quickly put down his teacup, got up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you uncle!"

"As you said, saving others is also saving oneself," Liu Lang sighed, "I hope you can really save Shannan County and save uncle and me from this disaster."

"I will do my best."

Because the goal was achieved, Jiang Shu couldn't help showing a smile, and said: "Because of this, I brought some gifts for my uncle. I heard that the Yizhou caravan did not buy mulberry wine last year, so I brought a few jars of the latest brewed wine this time. Come here, this fruit wine has the effect of strengthening the body, uncle drinking some every day can benefit the liver and eyesight, and I will send it to you later."

Liu Lang laughed when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "You boy, you can be regarded as holding my life!"
