Chapter 170: Decision

The black smoke from the war covered the entire sky.

On the top of the city, the "Bell"-shaped flag fluttering in the wind was already broken and ragged, and still stood firmly on the top of the city, becoming the spiritual pillar of the defenders.

The dead bodies were lying on the ground, blood flowing into a river, and the strong smell of fishy smell, sweat and feces were mixed with each other, filling the air, making it pungent and unpleasant.

The war continues.

The loud roars and shouts of killing seemed to shake the entire city.

Countless ragged figures under the city, holding various weapons, made crazy shouts, and launched wave after wave of impact towards the city wall ahead like a tide.

Arrows flew wildly in the air, dragging the sharp rain of arrows that broke through the air, cutting through the sky, covering the crowd under the city, and suddenly fell down.

Grease oil, gold juice, wood, rolling stone and other cities kept falling from the city, blocking the crowds of people climbing onto the city walls.

Especially those who are poured into tincture and gold juice can only be described as terrible and tragic.

The fierce siege battle is taking place, and it continues until the sunset and the world begins to become dark, and the sound of gold sounds sounds from the battlefield.

The siege army retreated like a tide, leaving behind corpses all over the ground.

"Zhi Mama! These rebels finally retreated."

On the top of the city, Qin Feiyang, covered in blood, leaned on the wall with a spear, panting heavily. After holding on for so long, he felt that his body seemed to be falling apart.

Not long after, a man who looked like a personal soldier hurried over and handed over a bag of oil paper in his hand, "General, let's eat something first."

Because of his merits in defending the city and killing the enemy, Qin Feiyang has been quickly promoted to a side general by the governor Zhong Yan, responsible for the defense of this wall.

"The person who delivered the meal is here? What are you eating today, brothers?"

Qin Feiyang asked while taking the oil paper bag.

"Here, I'm giving everyone pancakes, three for each person."

The personal soldiers swallowed their saliva. The food in the city was limited, and the soldiers guarding the city were able to get three pancakes, which was the maximum supply, and many people didn't even have to eat pancakes.

When the oil paper bag was opened, a grilled chicken inside appeared in front of him, with some heat on it, and the smell of meat that almost made Qin Feiyang saliva flow out.

"Gugu~"

There were muffled sounds of gurgling and swallowing sounds one after another.

"Where did the chicken come from?"

Qin Feiyang asked, since the bandits siege the city, they had cut off supplies outside, and he couldn't remember how long he hadn't eaten meat.

"The governor sent someone to him."

The personal soldiers said truthfully, with a hint of pride on their faces. The generals were valued by the governor, and they were deeply honored by the personal soldiers.

Qin Feiyang tore off a chicken leg from the roasted chicken, and handed the remaining part to the personal soldier, "Split it for the brothers. When the thief army is repelled, I will invite everyone to drink and eat meat!"

"But General, this is given to you by Lord Governor."

The soldier licked his lips and said, his expression on his face was very entangled.

"Don't be too slow, I'll part before I change my mind!"

Qin Feiyang glared, and the personal soldier immediately stopped talking.

Soon, the roasted chicken was cut into pieces of meat the size of a fingernail, and then distributed to hundreds of soldiers around. After each of them got the meat, they just put it in their mouths and couldn't bear to eat it immediately.

It’s not their fault. Among these personal soldiers, except for dozens of people who were brought out by Qin Feiyang from the Qin Mansion that day, the remaining soldiers were all ordinary soldiers before they became personal soldiers.

Because of the famine, these people don’t know how long it has been since they smelled meat, let alone eating meat.

Qin Feiyang was eating chicken legs while looking at the thief camp outside the city that could not see the edge, and fell into deep thought.

A few days ago, there was a letter inexplicably in the study in his mansion. When he opened it, he found that it was a letter from his elder brother Qin Feiyu to him. He didn't know how the letter was sent in.

There is no family matter in the letter, but it only introduces the situation on their side in detail. Finally, it reminds Qin Feiyang to take good care of his health and go back if it really doesn't work.

The plan they discussed at the beginning was to let him gradually grow and grow through the relationship between the county magistrate Wang Bo, but later he did not expect that the development of things would go further than the original plan.

Qin Feiyang met Zhuang Rui on the way to escort Wang Bo, and then followed him here. Because of the thief's attack, he quickly climbed from a small regiment to the position of a side general, and under his command, six thousand soldiers.

During this period, Liu Feng's power expansion was also fierce. In a short period of time, he became one of the largest rebel forces in Jizhou, defeated the Zhenguo Army and captured the prince of a country.

Of course, not many people know about the news of captive princes now. Because the news was deliberately blocked, and the communication problem in this era was quite large, so even the governor Zhong Yan did not know about it in the prefecture.

There are two choices in front of Qin Feiyang now. One is to give up everything now and take his confidants back to do things for Liu Feng. Of course, the soldiers under his command will definitely not follow him, and in this way, all his previous efforts will be in vain.

The second is to continue to stay. With the appreciation of Zhong Yan and Zhuang Rui, we continue to play and work hard to fight the current internal and external troubles. This is a good opportunity for the general to make contributions.

"When I go back now, it's always icing on the cake. There is no shortage of generals like me there. Now that the Northern Wei army is heading south, the rebels outside the city will definitely not last long. Staying here to defend the city will definitely be a great achievement."

Thinking of this, Qin Feiyang made a decision in his heart, and as a result, his whole body became much more relaxed.

He stood up with great energy and directed the soldiers to clear the bodies on the top of the city, arranged for the soldiers to take a rest, and prepared to welcome tomorrow's battle.

······

At the same time, in Chen Sheng's tent, several large leaders in the army were summoned.

"What retreat!?"

A scream suddenly sounded, and Cao Yu, who was sitting in Chen Sheng's head, widened his eyes and said firmly: "Now we are only one step away from capturing this prefecture. When we withdraw our troops, Brother Chen, aren't you kidding? I don't agree!"

Although the others in the tent did not speak, they also disapprove of retreating from their expressions.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Chen Sheng's eyes, and he held back his anger and said, "I haven't decided yet, so I asked you to discuss it. After all, the iron ore in Xiapei Mansion is too important to us."
