Chapter 74 The shield of a woman disguising herself as a man (25)

But being trapped in the city, they could only sit back and eat. Seeing that the food was getting less and less, the generals who defended the city were so anxious that they could only fight to the death and sent people to finally spread the news to the capital.

However, it took time for the message to be conveyed. Although they were already on a diet for all the soldiers, the food was still getting less and less, almost to the point where there was almost no rice to cook.

At that time, they were almost at the end of their strength, and they were afraid that they would starve to death before they could wait for reinforcements to arrive.

However, just when they thought they were going to die like this.

Tens of thousands of people from Shangbeicheng all carried large and small bags and gathered neatly in front of the gate of the garrison's mansion.

Then they came over one by one and piled the food they brought one by one in front of the gatekeepers in Shangbei City.

These grains include millet, grains, corns, sweet potatoes, and even potatoes that have just been dug out of the ground and are stained with wet mud.

This was something that all the people in Shangbeicheng, every household, tightened their belts and finally came up with, hoping to help them wait until reinforcements arrived.

All the soldiers guarding the city looked at the pile of food on the ground, and their hearts were moved. They swallowed this feeling with tears.

However, one day passed, two days passed, three days passed, four days... half a month passed.

Except for the increasing death toll.

There are no reinforcements at all!

The imperial court did not send troops to support them at all, Daxi Chu abandoned them!

People are getting desperate.

They just want to live!
……

Therefore, when they arrived, what they received was not the joy and love of the people in the city, but a desperate and desperate robbery!

*
"What, Shang Beicheng's reinforcements have arrived?!" Han Jinzhou raised his eyebrows in surprise.

The soldier standing aside said respectfully:
"Yes."

I haven’t heard of any other generals available in the Western Chu Kingdom?
Apart from……

Han Jinzhou's eyes darkened for a moment, and then asked: "Who is the general?"

"It seems that he is a young man named He Muheng, who was temporarily granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan by the emperor of Western Chu."

The soldier did not dare to be careless and told everything he knew in one breath.

"General, what should we do now?"

……

Early the next morning, Gu Nian went to the common people's area in person and started giving porridge and medicine.

However, before she could hand the porridge to the man, soldiers suddenly came hurriedly from the city gate.

"General He, it's bad! Something bad is going to happen!"

"Daliang Kingdom has begun to attack the city again!!"

Gu Nian's expression changed suddenly when he heard this. After handing over the work at hand to the soldiers on the side, he quickly flew towards the Shangbei City Tower.

I saw soldiers defending the city gate fiercely, war drums blaring, arrows forming a net, and corpses covering the city wall dyeing the ground red.

When a soldier falls, another soldier immediately takes his place.

Looking not far from the city, countless densely packed enemy troops held their shields high and attacked like ants.

This battle can only be defended, not attacked forcefully.

Once they open the city gate to meet the enemy, the entire Shangbei City will definitely fall.

The morale of their soldiers was low and their morale was unstable. Moreover, the Liang Kingdom's army numbered 30, and they, including the garrison officers, only had more than [-] soldiers.

If you have to fight head-on, you are simply asking for death!
Looking at the increasingly fierce enemy troops not far away, Gu Nian said in a deep voice: "Get fire, light the arrows and shoot them out!"

When the soldiers on the side heard this, they quickly picked up flint and lit the stick beside them.Then all the soldiers followed suit and greased all their bows and arrows with kerosene, making them ignite when exposed to the wind!
On the city wall, soldiers held bows and arrows, burning with blazing fire on the arrows.

The arrow that was burned into red shot towards the city with the force of piercing the air at the moment of giving the order.

Thousands of arrows were fired together, intertwining into a terrifying surging and surging fire arrow rain, which instantly defeated the beam army below. Countless howls and lamentations intertwined into a sea of ​​fire.

On the city wall, after the previous wave retreated, people immediately came up from behind to maintain the tightness of the arrow rain.

With the blessing of kerosene, just a little dye on the clothes can ignite a blazing fire.

Under the city wall, everything was originally neat and orderly, relying on shields to withstand the dense rain of arrows, but it became chaotic due to the raging fire.

Howls and screams came and went.

Han Jinzhou looked at Gu Nian, who was calmly commanding the arrows at the city gate, with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Compared to the cold and unparalleled young man seven years ago, this young man now wears a suit of armor, like an unsheathed sword, which adds a touch of edge and makes people even more unable to take their eyes away.

However, he is just a little too smart.

His eyes were dark and unclear, and he just stared at that person deeply.

If you can't use it for yourself, then you have no choice but to die!
He looked at the Daliang soldiers who were in chaos below the city and raised his hand to signal.

Finally, in the chaos of the burning prairie fire, the Liang Kingdom, which had suffered heavy losses, withdrew its troops!

The enemy retreated like a tide. When they learned the news, all the soldiers showed smiles of relief and joy on their faces.

Some people even shouted excitedly.

"we won!!!"

"Winning!! Winning!!!"

This is really, really good!

There must be hope for them in the north! !
Shangbeicheng instantly rang out the uniform slogans of the soldiers.

"Dingyuan Army! Will win!! Western Chu Kingdom! Will win!!!"

The surging slogans lingered above the entire city, even alarming the people who were waiting in line for porridge below.

When the people of Shangbeicheng heard the loud noise, whether they were drinking porridge, planning to drink it, or waiting in line, they all stopped what they were doing.

And their eyes were filled with tears that were faintly flashing due to excitement.

I saw countless people kneeling down towards the city gate spontaneously, quietly kneeling on the ground in such a pious posture.

Silently expressing the most sincere support, love and admiration for the garrison soldiers, the Dingyuan Army, and the imperial court!

*
In the main account of Daliang Army.

Han Jinzhou quietly read through what He Muheng, also known as Gu Nian, had done from birth to now.

As the saying goes, only by knowing the enemy can you win a hundred battles.

The people who know you best are often your enemies.

Although the content cannot be collected in such detail in a short time, it is enough for Han Jinzhou.

The ink pen in his hand couldn't help but draw heavily on a line of words. Han Jinzhou looked at this sentence, was stunned for a moment, and then gently raised the corners of his lips.

Is He Muheng actually a Bodhisattva?
I saw that the handwriting stained red by the ink pen was clearly——

The young master of the He family is only fifteen years old, and his medical skills are unparalleled in the world. He can be called the reincarnation of Hua Tuo.

During the plague in Jiangnan, he went to take orders and turn the tide!

Magical rejuvenation, resurrection from the dead!
