For eighteen days, under the attack of the Xianbei people, relying on the unity of the people, the soldiers and civilians of Xiangping City have ensured that the city will still belong to the land of the Han within eighteen days, and they have not encountered the enemy's poison.

Although the city wall changed hands repeatedly during these eighteen days, although several sections of the city wall had been breached and had to be built into new ones with human lives, and although the city gate had been smashed as early as the seventh day, now the city gate cave has been destroyed.

It was filled with large and small gravels and rubble. Although the warriors guarding the city had changed one batch after another, it can be said that the soldiers who originally guarded the city were now only one in a thousand.

However, the Han flag is still flying in Xiangping City.

But everyone knows very well that this is already the limit of Xiangping City.

"Shengji, did you ever think that you could have a day like this?"

"You'an, are you qualified to criticize me? Haven't you always wanted to be a hermit? How could you die on such a battlefield?"

"Hmph! I just hate you disgusting careerists, not fighting to protect innocent people."

"Haha, no matter how disgusting you find people like me, I'm afraid we both will die in the same hole this time."

"Hmph, you are a big shot. You might be blamed for your death by those barbarians."

"You are also not qualified to criticize me on this matter. Don't you know how famous the song you composed is? Even the barbarians across the street asked their men to capture you alive. Look, I didn't

Enjoy your treatment."

"It's just a pity that even though we tried so hard, we still couldn't defeat these 'puppets' who have no popularity at all. It's really a pity."

"Manpower will eventually be exhausted, so our opponents are a group of non-human beings who are like monsters."

"Report~~~!!! General! The enemy has begun to gather troops again, and this time it's all four. I'm afraid they're going to launch a general attack!"

"Okay, I won't chat with you anymore. I hope that I can catch up with a peaceful and peaceful era in my next life, so that I can stay at home quietly, read books, practice calligraphy, and learn music. In my leisure time, I can go out with my friends.

Drink heavily."

"The era of peace and tranquility... Well, although it was a little calmer, it was not bad for me. Although this place in Liaodong... may be king and hegemony, how could it possibly compare to the prosperity of Luodu? I miss it so much

The luxurious palace of Luodu..."

"Don't be so anxious about missing it yet. If we can repel this wave of attacks, there is still a lot of time."

"I know it without you having to tell me. Don't worry, in front of everyone. I, Gongsun Shengji, am still the master of this city!"

Although he spoke forcefully, Gongsun Du's heart was far from as calm and brave as he appeared on the surface.

In fact, Guan Ning is also very aware of this, so it may be motivation or ridicule. In short, this hermit who is accustomed to living in seclusion in the mountains and forests and is unwilling to participate in worldly affairs has constantly used his brains under such circumstances to allow Gongsun Du to persist until now.

.

Is this a miracle?

perhaps.

Facing the group of monsters outside the city, a group of human beings with only flesh and blood could actually reach this point. Gongsun Du thought it was really incredible when he thought about it. He himself didn't know that his potential was so great.

The group of monsters outside are indeed a bunch of monsters, and they are very troublesome to fight. Not to mention the strange phenomena that occur after they die. In other words, even if the enemies are defeated at a huge cost, the two of them will still fight.

Three days later, we met again, and it seemed even weirder to turn into ashes after death. Then, those familiar faces were like treasures that we saw every day in the next five or six days. How could I break it?

, those monsters outside simply don’t give ordinary people in the city a way to survive, you bastards!

So don't be surprised if the battle loss ratio between the offensive and defensive sides exceeds 1:10 under such an enemy's attack. Anyway, Gongsun Du is now completely numb to the sheets of paper filled with battle damage results.

If Gongsun Du had not realized that the situation was not good on the first day and changed the troops defending the city from all elites to a mixed force of elites, militiamen and even ordinary people, perhaps this would have caused a significant increase in battle losses, and even

Because the defending troops are filled with a large number of militiamen and civilians, not only is there a serious lack of coordination between them, but sometimes chaos occurs in certain places, but it is precisely by this method that the entire city can be strengthened.

Able to continue to maintain a certain level.

And those militiamen and civilians who are lucky enough to survive within two or three days will quickly grow into "veterans" who are at least good at defending the city. Although these "veterans" are not many, they can at least slow down the situation.

The consumption rate of elite soldiers.

But now, even though the delivery of soldiers has been carefully controlled, the shortage of military strength is still very obvious.

There may still be some soldiers who can fight in the city, but the defense of the four city gates is already a bit tense, not to mention the three gaps in the city wall that are more like a meat grinder - there is no height.

Advantage, it can be said that every gap has become a "tool" for the Xianbei army outside the city to continuously consume the limited forces in the city.

Yes, compared to the Xianbei army outside the city, even though there are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, they can still only be called "limited", and correspondingly, naturally, the army outside the city can be called "infinite"

Xianbei army.

To be honest, Gongsun Du no longer knows whether he should call the army outside the city the Xianbei army, or whether the army from the underground undead is more suitable for the group of invaders, because just three days ago, Gongsun Du killed himself with his own hands.

His younger brother Gongsun Yun - but at that time, Gongsun Yun was a relatively sober...undead.

In fact, just five days ago, Gongsun Du saw with his own eyes that his brave brother consumed an extremely brave general of the Xianbei army who climbed into the city with his own eyes, successfully saving the precarious battle situation. Gongsun Du even more

Because of this clan brother's heroic sacrifice, at night, the clan brother who lost his father at a young age and whose family was very poor shed two or three tears.

As a result, two days later, the two people who were supposed to be separated by yin and yang met again. What's more important is that the two people became enemies of life and death. If it weren't for Gongsun Yun, who was just called the dead, he would still have some traces of the living.

In memory, Gongsun Du did not believe that he could kill with his own hands this new general in the former Liaodong Army who had caused the morale of the city to plummet as soon as he appeared.

Even so, after another day, Gongsun Yun appeared again and turned into a beast that only knew how to kill. His original memory and reason had been completely lost. Although this reduced his combat effectiveness a lot, from another

From a perspective, his threat to the Liaodong Army has indeed increased a lot.

Is it possible to win such a battle?

The hero fighting beside you is very likely to become an enemy who wields a sword against you the next day. Even if he is bound by memory and knocked down by you, he will still completely forget the memory of your life and death the next day.

beat.

If it weren't for the escape, it was doomed to be impossible. The Xianbei army made it clear that they wanted to turn the entire Xiangping City into a country of the dead. If it weren't for Guan Ning leading his "disciples" to sing battle songs and constantly motivating everyone, the battlefield would have been over.

It has already collapsed.

In fact, it’s not like dawn has never appeared before.

As the battle progressed, the soldiers and civilians in Xiangping City gradually discovered that the enemy was not completely invincible, or that the constantly resurrected dead might be sent back to their proper reincarnation - as long as they had some faith.

, or in other words, if you focus on this belief during the attack when killing the enemy, the killed enemy will not appear again.

It's a pity that the dawn only flashed and then fell into silence again.

Although this discovery briefly inspired the soldiers and civilians in Xiangping City, a more cruel fact faced them - what kind of faith can restrain that kind of monster? And how should one inject faith into one's own attacks?

, the most important thing is, how to determine that such a method is really a feasible method, rather than the enemy just using some kind of rotation method, so that the existence that was originally thought to have disappeared will appear again in the attack and defense of Xiangping City a few days later.

During the war.

Although it was only a short period of eighteen days, for the soldiers and civilians in Xiangping City, the experience of these eighteen days may have exceeded the sum of their entire lives of ten or even decades.

Yes, they would never have thought that such a monster beyond common sense existed in this world.

Okay. Since there are already such unscientific existences as the Four Sacred Beasts, as well as the wooden puppets summoned by Zhang Jiao, it is nothing to have a group of equally unscientific "undead" now, let alone the most powerful and powerful human beings in the contemporary era.

The famous "scientist" couple - Li Shushi and Su Xiaoluoli have already made a scientific explanation for this kind of undead that is very consistent with the conditions of this plane.

Isn't it just a collection of some kind of negative energy?

Compared with the Xiangping people, the Bingzhou army had fought with these opponents once or twice.

Well, it can be seen from the letter from a certain black-skinned dwarf that he also encountered a similar opponent on the last battlefield.

It's a pity that the princes who are busy fighting for hegemony have understood the horror of this strangely appearing enemy except under the influence of a few holy beasts and a certain lolita, as well as through many personal experiences. The remaining princes either don't understand it deeply enough, or they just don't know much about it.

On the contrary, I feel that the other party is considered as an Austrian aid that can be won over, but it has been provided with a large number of resources for development and growth.

Perhaps this is why the old saying goes, "When times are in trouble, evildoers will appear."

"Master Manager, under your guidance, I have a new understanding of what kind of belief and how to infuse belief into attacks. Although I don't know if I can contain those terrible 'monsters', I will kill the enemy today."

It seems a lot easier when I do it.”

If we say that the only group of people in the entire Xiangping City who firmly believe in the so-called "Faith to Defeat the Enemy" is Guan Ning and his "disciples".

In fact, this method was originally proposed by these people. When faced with the low morale in the city, Guan Youan sang loudly, and his "disciples" echoed the song. The idea of ​​​​fighting to the death soared into the sky. This belief not only saved the entire Xiangzhou

Pingcheng, another

Perhaps the fact that most people have overlooked is that during the eighteen-day offensive and defensive battle in Xiangping, although the battle process was extremely brutal, the battle damage rate suffered by Guan Ning's "disciples" can be called the highest in Xiangping.

The lowest force among all the forces in Pingcheng.

Of course, even if the battle damage ratio is the lowest, the absolute number of battle losses is still very high, so much so that such a fact is actually hidden in the great sorrow of the death of a loved one, and only in the next few days.

, when all the forces began to experience shortages in military strength, the situation of Guan Ning's "disciples" gradually showed a little bit more stamina due to the battle loss rate, and this made everyone gradually realize this.

Guan Ning is a hermit. His own moral character is naturally impeccable, but his temperament is somewhat cold and he doesn't care about such things. If his "disciples" hadn't informed him of their doubts about this matter, maybe he would still be there.

He will sing tragic songs just like before. He will lead those who trust him to the battlefield where there may be no hope at all.

Instead of continuing to engage in research work in this area as we do now.

Therefore, a scientist must not only be smart, but also have an eye that is good at discovering subtle differences.

Guan Ning's group of "disciples" were originally a group of people who had great trust in Guan Ning. Although it cannot be said that everything they have today is entirely due to Guan Ning, Guan Ning did use his words, deeds and reputation to make those who had left their hometowns come home.

A foreign country where they are unfamiliar with has a place to live and work in peace and contentment, and those natives can also get a stable life in Guan Ning that they cannot get elsewhere. Therefore, if they trust Guan Ning and follow the rules set by Guan Ning, they can have a good life.

Life has become their consensus.

Therefore, even if the illusory "dawn" did not come from Guan Ning, these people are more willing to believe that this glimmer of life was brought entirely by Guan Ning. They will use this as a basis for in-depth research.
