Many generals at the rank of the commander level were jealous.
Who doesn't want to go home?
Who would want to die again!
Why haven’t reinforcements come yet?
"General, does the court want us anymore?" Someone was covered in blood and asked crying.
One person took the lead, and when the soldiers stood up together, their emotions were out of control.
"Why has the messenger sent out been delayed and why did the reinforcements from the court not support?"
"Do you have to wait until we are all dead before sending troops?"
"That's right!"
"We can't wait to die so aimlessly, we have to withdraw!"
“…”
Many senior generals looked ugly and had difficulty for a while...
Bang bang!
Suddenly, two powerful sounds were heard.
It was Xiao Jian who came, and he stomped the ground with one hand and stomped heavily.
The flowing armor was already dull, his hair was slightly scattered, and his cheeks were terrifyingly pale, just like a piece of paper and a candlelight that could be extinguished in the wind at any time!
Everyone knows that the Grand Marshal was injured, but no one knows where Xiao Jian was injured and how severe it was.
His appearance slowly made the crying and riots of the soldiers on the city wall disappear.
"Meet the Grand Marshal!"
The people who were all curling began to kneel down.
"General." Someone stepped forward and wanted to help Xiao Jian.
"Hmm?!" Xiao Jian frowned, his rough face full of perseverance.
He didn't want anyone to help him, and he gritted his teeth and walked up the steps step by step, without anyone seeing that he was seriously injured.
His tiger eyes slowly looked at the group of soldiers.
No one dared to look at him and lowered his head in shame.
"You really want to retreat?"
As soon as the sound fell, the city walls were silent.
The autumn wind swept through the fallen leaves, and the lonely ghosts seemed to be singing, making people's scalp numb.
This is like a dead city!
Someone bit the bullet and said in the dark: "General, my three brothers join the army, and now I am the only one left. I still have an old mother to support me at home."
"I can't die here!"
"We have tried our best. If we continue to defend like this, the city will be destroyed in at most three days, and we will be wiped out!"
"It's better to retreat, retain your strength, and fight back later."
Although the others did not speak, their uniform eyes had already shown their attitude.
They can't stand it anymore, they can't stand the desperate waiting for death.
Xiao Jian was not angry or scolded.
Instead, he said calmly: "You are all right, and you are right."
"I'm going to tell you, I have both old and young people, and I want to go back, but... I don't dare!" He clenched the last few words.
A soldier gritted his teeth and shouted: "Master, why?"
"Are you afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
"We've tried our best. If we continue fighting, we'll be waiting to die!"
"No! If we retreat, your Majesty will not punish you!" Xiao Jian said heavily, then coughed violently and his burly body swayed.
It took him a lot of effort to stand firm.
"I tell you why I dare not retreat!"
His tiger's eyes widened, and his voice was like thunder, pointing to the distance.
"Did you see it?"
"There are dozens of miles behind Pancheng, and the Central Plains are there. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry can only reach there in one day."
"And there, there are our compatriots, our families, and the elderly, weak, women and children in Daxia!"
"Once we lose, the rebels can go straight in. Let me ask, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Suddenly, the backs of thousands of soldiers on the city walls chilled, their eyes were complicated, and they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Xiao Jian walked towards the city wall, slapped the city wall with his hands, and his eyes were long.
He sighed: "What a beautiful and beautiful country!"
"If it is captured by the rebels, then the purgatory on earth here will turn into the purgatory on earth in the entire Daxia."
"Your family may not be able to survive."
The soldiers were silent and could not say a word.
"I will not leave anymore. Your Majesty once said that loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, so why should a man be wrapped in a body?"
"You want to leave, just leave."
"Go back and give me a message to you, telling Your Majesty that I did not embarrass him. The battle lasted until the end of the death, and the city was destroyed."
The light words are infinitely tragic!
The soldiers' noses became sore and they started to cry.
"Master Marshal, we won't leave!"
"We will fight you to the death!" A general stood up and roared.
Immediately afterwards, more and more people were moved, and they gritted their teeth and expressed their opinions.
"Fight to the death!!"
"Master Marshal, we swear to follow you to the death!"
Seeing this, Xiao Jian suddenly felt a sudden heart.
When the battle reached this point, how could he not know that there was only a lasting end to stay?
But there is no way, you have to die here even if you die, and you cannot retreat!
"Okay, you are all good guys in Daxia. Juniors, I will remember you!"
"The court will remember you too!"
"I promise that I will never live alone!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers smiled miserably.
"Will you really remember us?"
"We invited reinforcements more than a dozen times, but there was no reply. Let us die here."
Xiao Jian frowned and wanted to speak, but his chest hurt violently.
His five fingers grabbed the city wall tightly and almost crushed the bricks before he could hold on.
"Your Majesty, I will not give up on us, brothers, believe in this Marshal!"
"I am guaranteed by the head!"
"Something must have happened in the middle!"
His eyes were covered in blood, and he gritted his teeth word by word.
The soldiers' eyes were shaken, and they did not say any more discouraged words, and gradually picked up their confidence.
At this time!
Suddenly a scout yelled: "Master, Grand Marshal, look, a few enemy troops are rushing towards you!"
several??
Everyone's expressions changed. The attack on the city these days was not the thousands of Xiliang soldiers, and it was too outrageous for a few people.
Xiao Jian quickly ran to the city wall on the left, his pale cheeks were solemn, and his tiger eyes scanned down!
I saw five horses neighing under the night.
That was the cavalry of Xiliang, and his armor was precious, so he was obviously a senior general.
Xiao Jian's eyes widened, like a lion.
"Zhang Ren's son!!"
"Shoot the arrow!"
He ordered decisively.
Strong and firm.
Countless arrows were pulled over by soldiers and pointed at Zhang Ren and others.
But Zhang Ren's elegant face was not a trace of fear, and he didn't even hide.
He looked up at the city wall and smiled humbly.
"Master Xiao, are you anxious?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Jian snorted coldly: "Do I need to be anxious?"
"The reinforcements from the court will arrive within two days, and then it will be the time when you will be destroyed!"
Zhang Ren smiled disdainfully. Although he was wearing military uniform, he could not hide his absolute leadership temperament and the style of a Confucian general.
"oh?"
"Reinforcements from the court?"
"The court has been coming to reinforcements for more than ten days, and I have given up on you a long time ago. Don't you feel like a mirror in your heart?"
Xiao Jian was angry.
He cursed: "Dog guy, don't talk nonsense. After two days, you will know what to do!"
Zhang Ren's sharp eyes swept across the city wall and suddenly increased his voice.
"Don't deceive yourself, let Marshal tell you what's going on."
