Chapter 55 There is no way out

The people in the capital can resist, but they cannot. This is the hinterland of the Central Plains after all, and the key to attacking here is speed. If the war drags on for a long time and reinforcements from the north and south arrive, they will have no chance of winning.

"I originally thought that the people in this capital have been indulging in wealth and wealth for a long time and have no courage, but I didn't expect that they were not defeated in one blow." General Youjin sighed solemnly, "After persisting for so long, the people's hearts have not been shaken. It seems that the morale is stable."

These words made the other golden generals even more anxious. They were noisy for a while, but Yu Chihai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly burst into laughter.

"It's just as I expected," he said.

What did he expect? Couldn't he capture the capital?

"Master Yu, if we can't capture the capital this time, the Emperor will not let us go." A Jin general said in a calm tone.

To be sure, Yu Chihai would not spare him.

It was all because of listening to his lobbying that the emperor mobilized the whole country to fight the Zhou people with the flesh and blood of countless warriors. After the victory, he obtained countless wealth from the Zhou people and strengthened the power of the Jin Dynasty. However, if this battle failed, they would probably

The gold will inevitably be exhausted and the national strength will be greatly damaged.

These Yi Di, who looked ferocious but were actually timid, Yu Chihai was not embarrassed by his words and looked calm.

"They don't have such stone bullets. There is no Qingshan Army in the city." He said, pointing to the city.

The generals present were stunned for a moment.

Because of those stone bullets, they almost gave up attacking the city and fled, but Yu Chihai insisted on trying again. Now it seems that after trying these two times, there really are no more stone bullets.

Yu Chihai took a step forward with a sneer on his face.

"It turned out to be just a bluff." He said, "This morale was only boosted by stone bullets. Warriors, don't be deceived by them."

Was he actually deceived?

The Jin generals angrily scolded the Southerners for being treacherous.

"With no reinforcements outside and no defense inside, I wonder how long their morale can last." Yu Chihai sneered and said, "Warriors, from now on, we will take turns to attack the city, day and night, so that we can become the eternal awakening of these Zhou people.

It’s a nightmare that can’t be solved.”

……….

………

Accompanied by sharp whistling, the sharp arrows flying from the city fell on the city wall with oil and fire, followed closely by the rain of rockets. Even if they were laying wet bedding, pieces of fire flew up from the city wall.

Firelight.

Then there was a wailing, and many young and strong civilians were shot by arrows before they could avoid it, and the city wall became a mess.

But this is not even more terrifying. Looking down from the outer wall, there are ladders set up on the city wall, and densely packed golden soldiers are climbing up.

At one point, a soldier watched as a hand grabbed the city wall, and then a human head appeared with sharp armor and a vicious description, which was very different from the people of Zhou Dynasty.

Golden soldiers!

Golden soldiers!

It turns out that Jin people look like this.

This thought inexplicably flashed through the soldier's mind, and his whole body seemed to be empty, holding the weapon and falling into a sluggish state.

The screams in his ears woke him up, and then he saw two soldiers pushing the horse and hitting the golden soldier who had just climbed up.

The spikes penetrated the golden soldier, and the two soldiers pushed the man and the horse down together.

This caused a group of golden soldiers behind them to fall from the long ladder.

"kill."

Accompanied by an old shout.

The five soldiers, with pale expressions, clenched their spears and stabbed at the golden soldiers that appeared one after another.

They seemed to have forgotten their fear and just waved their spears mechanically.

There were sounds of fighting everywhere on the city wall. The fighting didn't last long. All the golden soldiers who climbed up quickly were killed. The young and strong civilians who organized themselves again and rushed in pushed the kerosene horses down. The ladder broke and the golden soldiers

Falling down, there was fire, stones and wood rolling under the city wall.

Another wave of attacks was repelled, but there was no joy at all on the city wall. There were dead bodies and blood everywhere, the fire was still burning fiercely, and the sad and heavy atmosphere became even stronger.

Under the city wall, the disgraced people crowded under the eaves of the houses facing the street to avoid the attack of the Jinmen's crossbows. At this time, the wounded soldiers and civilians were carried off the city wall, looking horrible.

"It's been two days and two nights without stopping..." someone murmured, "We don't even have bows and arrows anymore, so we can only rely on hand-to-hand combat."

"This time the golden soldiers have climbed up the city wall, there will be more next time." Someone also whispered.

No one is expecting stone bullets anymore.

"Every official is a liar." A citizen suddenly said, raising his head with anger.

A figure on the city wall broke into his sight.

It was a little child, standing in the middle of the city gate, as upright as the flagpole beside him.

The angry eyes of the people dispersed.

Even in such a dangerous situation, King Huai still guarded the city wall.

"You would have died if you ran away at that time. Now if you stay here, you can live longer." An old man sighed and said.

But in the end you have to die.

There was silence for a moment.

"Well, you saw what the Jin man said..." A low voice suddenly sounded, "If you surrender, you will not die..."

In the past few days, although the rain of arrows from the Jin people fell into the city, there were still some white cloths with writing on them.

The content is to persuade people to surrender. As long as they surrender and open the city gate, the Jin people will promise not to hurt the people.

This kind of cloth was quickly confiscated and burned by the officials, but some were still picked up by the civilians and spread around.

"What nonsense! Can the words of the Jin people be believed?" an old man raised his eyebrows and shouted, looking at the person who spoke, "If the words of the Jin people are trustworthy, why are they here now?"

The Jin people originally negotiated peace, but now they are calling again.

The people around were in awe.

"So don't listen to what they say." The old man said loudly, "We must hold on. If the city is not broken, we will have hope of survival. The Jin people will not be able to besiege us for long."

The people around him nodded in agreement, but their morale was not as good as before.

The atmosphere in the entire capital city had fallen into a downturn at this time, and Ning Yan, who was standing on the city wall, sighed softly.

"Master Ning."

Miss Jun's voice sounded from behind.

Ning Yan turned around and saw Miss Jun walking over.

"We need to assign people to guard the city gate." She said in a deep voice.

At this time, people's hearts are already unstable. If someone is tempted to open the city gate, then all their efforts will be wasted.

Ning Yan nodded.

"It's been arranged," he said.

"I guess the Jin people will attack again tonight." Miss Jun said.

Ning Yan nodded.

"They are bound to win." He said, "They have to work hard."

"We have no retreat, and we are bound to win." Miss Jun said, "As long as they cannot enter this city, we will win."

For more than ten years, the army and the people fought hand to hand with corpses to prevent the Jin from breaking the city.

Ning Yan understood what she meant.

"King Huai, are you okay?" he asked.

Miss Jun turned back to look at the tent. King Xian had also come over and was talking to King Huai.

"What are you going to do if the Jinmen capture the city?" asked the Xian King, patting his belly.

His expression was relaxed and at ease, as if he was talking about something as trivial as the weather.

King Huai looked serious.

"I will commit suicide," he said, "I will never fall into the hands of the golden man."

The wise king looked at him and shook his head.

Is it wrong? King Huai was a little puzzled.

"Instead of committing suicide," said the wise king, "we should jump off the city wall and kill everyone."

King Huai suddenly understood and nodded seriously.

"Uncle Huang is right," he said.

The wise king patted his belly with some pride.

"But with your body, I can probably only kill one." He said, "I can definitely kill two."

Miss Jun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and Ning Yan also laughed.

As soon as they started to smile, they heard vibrations in the distance. Their expressions changed slightly, and the faces of the people on the city wall also turned pale.

The Jin people are about to attack again, and they won't even have a chance to breathe.

It was already dusk, and the Jin people did not care about the taboo of attacking at night, which shows their determination.

"Fight." Ning Yan said, turned around and strode away.

……….

……….

War drums sounded loudly in the city, and countless footsteps were noisy on the streets.

Chen Qi put a piece of cake in his hand into his mouth three times and two times, and handed over a bowl next to him.

He turned around and saw Fang Jinxiu.

"Why are you here?" He asked vaguely, took the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, swallowed the pancake, and looked at Fang Jinxiu, "So, you might as well not come to the capital."

Originally, the ticket numbers with the Fang family in Yangcheng hadn't been divided yet, so logically we shouldn't have come.

Fang Jinxiu looked at him.

"Luckily I'm here, otherwise I would have to think about your life and death every day." She said, "It would be easier to die together."

Chen Qi chuckled.

"You want to die with me," he said.

Fang Jinxiu looked dull.

"I mean Jun Zhenzhen, not you." She said.

Chen Qi laughed, but said nothing more and gave her the bowl.

"There are not enough people in the city. Now we are asking for more young people to come to the city." He said, paused for a moment, "I'm going."

After saying that, he turned around and strode away, quickly blending into the people running on the street, like a rolling tide heading towards the city wall without hesitation.

Miss Jun was still standing on the city wall and could clearly see the golden soldiers rolling in again.

Whether we can hold the city depends on tonight.

"Miss Jun."

A voice sounded from behind.

Miss Jun turned around and was a little surprised to see the person coming.

"Mr. Gu," she said.

There were four or five people standing behind him, the leader of whom was none other than Mr. Gu, Mr. Jiufu.

After Jiuyi was taken out by the wise king, he forgot about him.

However, Lu Yunqi is gone, and no one is guarding Prince Huai's Mansion. It is normal for Mr. Gu to be able to walk out at any time.

In view of Jiuyi's various performances, Miss Jun did not have much hostility towards Mr. Gu, but rather had some respect for him.

Jiucheng is now so well-educated, so she certainly doesn't think that this is because Jiucheng was born with it.

"Why are you here, sir?" Miss Jun asked.

Mr. Gu took a few steps closer, his expression warm.

"Master Lu, I have some arrangements before I leave," he said.

Lu Yunqi?

Miss Jun was startled and looked wary. (To be continued)
