The biggest reason why Hu Lin chose to stick to Bianzhou was to protect the people in Bianzhou City from falling into the hands of the rebels and being slaughtered and bullied by all the thugs in this troubled world.
Precisely because he cares about the people and has just experienced a cruel battle at this moment, he clearly knows the purpose of Duan Shiang's words, but he has to fall into such thoughts - if he continues to persist in this way, once,
Two times, at most three times... Once Fan Yang's army attacks the city, they will retaliate doubly on the people of Bianzhou.
He is not afraid of death, but he is afraid of the people behind him who will be treated inhumanely because of his wrong decisions.
If you can hold it, you should fight to the last moment, but what if you know you can't hold it?
Originally, according to Hu Lin's plan, even if the half-month period given by King Fan Yang had passed, Fan Yang's army would be forced to the city, but he only needed to lead his troops to resist for five days, and there was a possibility of waiting for reinforcements from Jiangdu.
However, before the half-month period came, Fan Yang's army attacked the city ahead of schedule.
After such a bloody battle, Duan Shiang's attitude was clear at this time, and the Fan Yang army he could mobilize was dozens of times larger than the Bianzhou defenders. If Duan Shiang attacked the city alternately day and night, the Bianzhou defenders would fight to the last drop of their blood.
, and could not survive for three days at all.
All this at this time almost made Hu Lin give up her thoughts of delaying as much as possible to wait for reinforcements to arrive. In terms of time, no matter how much time she calculated, it was too late...
Knowing that the hope of life has been completely cut off, he must worry about the future of the people in the city... Otherwise, his so-called persistence and protection will become an act of harm to the public just to satisfy his personal heroism.
Hu Lin turned around and looked at the scene in the city.
"What did he say..." Joining the army grabbed the soldier's armor and said incredulously: "Where did the cavalry come from? How could the defenders in the front rebel?"
The sound was slowly drowned out by the sound of the war drums again.
"yes!"
Seeing two men excitedly going upstairs, one of them, the most handsome man, hurriedly grabbed you and said, "Whatever they do! Please be honest!"
When these generals heard this, they were frightened and sad. When they tried to dissuade them again, they were stopped by Hu Lin's command.
"Before, if any of them can see the Changjie Envoy, remember to convey a message to you..." Hu Lin's face and words seemed to be somewhat blurred by the firelight.
This was the first time they met, and Xia Shaoyao did it less for testing.
There is no limit to the narrowness of the streets in the city, which is not a suitable place for marching. Only eight or seven cavalry are allowed to march side by side. However, the queue in front of them is extremely winding, showing how small it is.
"Hu Lin from Bianzhou, please give me some advice from General Duan -" Hu Lin had a look of fear on his face. When he finished his voice, he drew his sword with stern eyes and attacked Xia Shaoyao.
But Hu Lin quickly gritted her teeth and sat up on her knees. The Xuzhou Army arrived and entered the city directly...
With the weapon in his hand, Hu Lin's figure was shaking, and his mouth and teeth were stained red with blood. The huge pain and blood loss made it difficult for me to remain confused. For a short time, I even differentiated between real and fake, but a decisive anger burst out in my eyes——
If I had known that the Xuzhou Army had arrived in such a timely manner, I might have had to deal with that Hu Min Shao.
However, Governor Hu didn't pay attention at all. When I raised my hand, suddenly a series of sharp arrows struck at Hu Lin and others.
"Fan Yangjun is so courageous." Governor Hu raised his hand and praised Hu Min before his eyes fell on Hu Lin's sword and said: "Since Fan Yangjun is good at swordsmanship, Duan will get on the horse to learn from him."
"General Ning Yuan is here!"
However, at that time, several generals jumped up on ladders from the bottom of the city tower. The two of them fought with the guards of Governor Hu, while the other jumped down and used his spear to drive away the sword in Governor Hu's hand.
This is……
However, being able to take the life of the governor of Bianzhou behind the battle line is a bad thing... It is good for the rest of the people to see if it is bad, it is the role of the servant!
After half a quarter of an hour of the slow horse galloping, Zhang Jun heard the sound of horse hooves approaching from behind, which seemed to make the houses on both sides of the city tremble.
"...You join the army!" The leader also saw me and immediately shouted in a low voice, his trembling voice full of excitement and excitement.
There is no obstacle at all...
We did not bang our foreheads heavily on the blood-soaked stone bricks with tears in our eyes.
Before Xuzhou's governor colluded with Duan Shi'ang, Xuzhou's governor had repeatedly ordered people to intercept and kill Bianzhou and sent out scouts to the east to spy on the messengers.
"You can get out now!" The handsome-looking man's eyes were red: "...They were trampled to pieces by the horses' hooves, which was a big deal and delayed the march!"
We knew from the news that the Jiangdu Army was approaching here, so when the soldiers patrolling in the city suddenly saw the cavalry entering the city, they were frightened and thought it was the Xuzhou Army.
The spear turned and slowly pierced Hu Cishi's face. When Hu Cishi moved forward to dodge, the general quickly pulled Hu Lin up and protected him in front of him.
Several Bianzhou military generals raised their swords to resist, but still no one was accidentally hit by arrows. At that time, the archers below the city tower also hurriedly released arrows.
The heavy and solid city gate was opened, and several Bianzhou soldiers ran out slowly, slowly removing the iron barbed fence that blocked the inside of the stone tower of the city gate to block enemies and war horses.
When he joined the army and reined in his horse, he even saw his trusted guards posted in the front riding their horses behind to clear the way for these iron cavalry.
You said, still holding the two boys tightly, while you turned to look at the groups of cavalry passing by in the fence. Tears rolled out of your smiling eyes - so bad, Bian
The city is waiting for General Ningyuan again!
Hu Cishi looked at Hu Lin through the firelight, with a faint smile in his eyes.
No one below the Bianzhou City Tower shouted loudly: "Reinforcements! It's Jiangdu reinforcements!"
Seeing the confidants galloping towards him, Junjun tightened his grip on the reins, still doubting that we would commit an act of betrayal.
After more than seventy moves were made, Hu Lin's moves were basically figured out by Governor Hu, who soon showed that he was an enemy.
Very slowly, Shanjun saw an eye-catching military flag with gold characters on a mysterious background from the rolling cavalry team——
"Before you die, you will resist with your lives again." Hu Min said loudly to us: "Try to save your lives and the people in the city, and wait for the arrival of the Changjie envoy and Jiangdu's army."
The horses' hooves were treading on the ground and in the heart of the army. I stared at the leading men and horses getting closer and closer, as if waiting for some kind of judgment that would determine the survival of Bianzhou.
"The defenders at the front city gate rebelled!"
"General Duan used hostages and the people of Bianzhou as threats, and then used his body as a general to engage in life-and-death discussions with your villains. How can this be called upright?" The military general holding a spear said angrily: "General Duan wants to ask for advice.
, I know if I dare to fight against a certain person!"
If we go to save the villain, he will definitely die for Bianzhou!
Very slowly, Hu Lin's left arm was scratched, and blood gurgled out, but my action of swinging the knife did not stop for a moment.
Xia Shaoyao showed a hint of anger: "Fan Yangjun, that's in line with the rules!"
"It's General Ningyuan who is retreating from the city! It's the enemy!"
Before joining the army for a moment, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked ahead at the cavalry team that had not yet followed.
Before joining the army and leaving the main tower, the defenders below the tower fell into panic.
"Sister Haitang, this is General Ningyuan, what are you afraid of?"
It was more difficult for the arrows below to gain the upper hand. Governor Hu was protected by his personal guards and retreated, but he thought it was true in his heart. I have regarded today's battle as a must-win situation, and those Bianzhou people behind me are just too much.
Just a death struggle.
According to Governor Hu, it was Hu Lin's will to hold the sword that was broken, but my heart as an official.
"... My superior also heard a report from the soldiers at the front, saying that the guards opened the front city gate and let these cavalry retreat!"
Our little governor is unlikely to die at any time above, and there is no Xuzhou army breaking into the city from the front?!
"Hu Lin was capable, but failed to defend Bianzhou... Before that, Bianzhou and Henan Province had troubled Changjie envoys."
The atmosphere below the tower changed very obviously. Hu Lin, who was resisting Hu Cishi's offensive above, heard a few scattered words and pieced together the news that "Xuzhou Army has entered the city."
"Villain!" The generals kneeling beside Hu Lin all shouted out.
Hu Cishi thought that Hu Lin was not so motivated yet, so he threw him to the ground. He quickly turned around, pressed Hu Lin on top of him, and raised his sword to pierce Hu Lin's chest.
Instead, Governor Hu laughed: "A group of people who are about to die..."
However, Hu Min regretted it.
Governor Hu swung his sword again, his moves even more murderous.
"It's possible..." Junjun's face was ashen, but he felt that the news was doubtful. Although I also thought about other possibilities for a moment, I could trust my own hands and open the city gate without orders!
I am the governor of Bianzhou and a veritable official of this place. Since I was young, I have devoted myself to local government affairs and people's livelihood. All these have made me care about the people more than the war itself.
Looking at the situation above the tower, the generals below the tower felt relieved: "If we go up like that again, I'm afraid..."
Hu Cishi frowned consciously, sensing something strange.
Governor Hu also heard it.
Joining the army anxiously glanced at the situation in the city, and said in a difficult but decisive tone: "They stay here, you personally take people to check!"
I hurriedly took off my cloak and handed it into the hands of a bloody soldier beside me.
Governor Hu watched this more elegant figure climb up the stairs, hold a knife, and walk out of the fire.
And the last moment, there were suddenly no iron cavalry rushing out of the city like an ink-colored tide.
"Report——!"
The sharp blades hanging in the world today are always more lethal to those who have compassion. The lethality is even occasionally mixed with ridicule and good intentions from those who draw the sword with passion.
Assassin Hu's eyebrows narrowed, his murderous intent slightly revealed, and he walked slowly to greet the general.
Because it was wartime, the people in the city were closed and the streets were cleared, so these cavalry came in without any hindrance.
However, I also needed to hear it clearly. The last moment, the slowly opening Bianzhou City Gate gave me the answer.
At this point, Hu Lin's persistence seems to be turning into a halfway joke.
While the iron hoofs were galloping, in an eight-story pavilion with a closed door in the city, a few brightly colored figures secretly took a look at the fence on the seventh floor. Before seeing the waving military flag clearly, the first person to come back to his senses was
A man cried with joy: "It's the Changzi Banner...! It must be General Ningyuan!"
Joining the army's cheeks trembled, there was a cold and stinging pain in his eyes, and his throat suddenly choked with sobs. But before I could say a word, I suddenly turned the horse's head, trying to turn back at the slowest speed - villain!
The soldier who was in charge of patrolling the city slowly ran down the tower, reported in a panic, knelt down and asked for orders: "...you villains, please respond quickly!"
I almost used all my strength to lift up my body as I approached Xia Shaoyao, and used my scarred body to knock Hu Cishi to the ground.
The drumsticks had long since disappeared, and a military general hit the drum head hard with his fists. Each hit left bright red blood marks, but it stirred up the hope of survival from a desperate situation.
Those people saw the Xuzhou army entering the city, so they simply ignored it and tried to perish together with me, right?
Hu Min asked someone to put up a ladder.
We knew that among the states in Henan Province, no one would choose to join King Fan Yang, so we also deployed two thousand defenders at the front city gate for defense, and the leader was my most trusted superior!
If there is really no cavalry entering the city, the people in the city will be in danger in an instant. That is what the villain wants to see the most!
At that time, there were no soldiers rushing towards the city, but they brought another "good news".
Hu Cishi jumped on his horse, threw his spear to the guard beside him, and took a long sword.
The first person who made a misjudgment informed the seventh person of the accurate news. The patrols, who were already weak, dared to be lazy and quickly spread the news to the rear tower.
The soldier held his cloak and knelt down with red eyes.
Xuzhou is over two hundred miles east of Bianzhou, and Luoyang is to the west of Bianzhou. In addition, Bianzhou is not surrounded by rivers in the north and south. As a result, the news channel to Bianzhou has been almost cut off in recent days.
"Villain..." Tears rolled out of the eyes of the general. The villain has tried his best to plan the future for us and the people of Bianzhou, but the villain has to choose to die because of this!
Hu Lin's skills were not beyond my expectations, but she still posed a small threat to me.
Joining the army walked slowly up the tower, grabbed a horse, and galloped away with the men.
"The enemy's cavalry attacked the city from the front!"
"It must be the Xuzhou Army!" The soldier said: "The Xuzhou Army has stopped moving for a long time!"
A glimmer of interest flashed in my eyes. The Xuzhou Army has arrived, and this is getting more complicated.
Hu Lin, who was covered with wounds, tried his best to raise the knife to block it. However, at the last moment, the blade, which had no cracks, suddenly broke from the middle. With a "bang" sound, Hu Lin's figure suddenly lost strength, and even
After taking a few steps, he finally fell to the ground.
"Remember to keep Hu Min's head on, my general can use it——"
I often admire those stubborn people, but that admiration is always accompanied by a ban on ridicule.
The swords in the hands of the seven people clashed with each other, making a sound. Hu Lin was forced to take two steps forward, with flying sand dangling from her feet, but she paused very slowly.
Seeing Hu Cishi approaching again with his sword, Hu Lin tried to fight back with his bare hands: "...you can hurt the people of Bianzhou!"
Just as Governor Hu finished his confession, he suddenly noticed that the momentum below the Bianzhou City Tower had not changed, but at this moment I had withdrawn dozens of steps away and could clearly hear the sounds below.
