"Retreating, the enemy is retreating!"

Around dusk, when they saw the Chu soldiers under the city retreating like an ebbing tide, the Wei soldiers who had been holding on to the south wall of Daliang City breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately couldn't help but cheer.

Today's fierce battle was more brutal than yesterday, but fortunately they finally repelled the Chu army and defended the city tenaciously.

While the Wei soldiers on the city were beaming with joy, even with tears in their eyes, Jin Ju, the commander of the Daliang Guards, lowered his head and silently glanced at his right waist, only to see that on that part of the armor, there were

A very clear stab mark, as if it was left when a sharp sword penetrated the armor.

It was left to him by Chu General Zi Che Ji.

"call--"

Enduring the pain, Jin Ju took a long breath and looked around.

At this moment, he realized that the two centuries who had followed him to aid the city wall had more than two hundred imperial guardsmen, but now only a dozen or so were left.

Seeing this, he sighed silently again.

"General Jin, we have defended the city!" Several young Wei militiamen came to Jin Ju and said happily.

Jin Ju nodded and spared no effort to praise and praise all the soldiers who had died or survived on the city wall, praising them as all the heroes of Wei.

Looking at the joyful smiles on the faces of the surviving soldiers, the smile on Jin Ju's face seemed slightly forced.

Just because today's siege battle was so brutal that Jin Ju was not sure about the future.

There are some things that only he, as the defender of Daliang City, knows, for example, how many people died heroically on the south wall of today's siege.

I remember that three days ago, when Daliang City had sufficient city defense weapons, the casualty ratio between Wei soldiers and allied soldiers was a terrifying one to twenty - that is, almost twenty soldiers of allied armies needed to be sacrificed.

In exchange for the death of a Wei Imperial Guard soldier, but after two fierce battles yesterday and today, the casualty ratio between the two armies was suddenly narrowed to one to three.

And this means that the casualty ratio between the militiamen and rangers who fought on the city wall yesterday and today compared with the coalition forces of various countries was actually between one to one to one to two. It can be imagined that in order to defend this city

In the old imperial city, how many brave men from Liang died in battle?

The problem is that after losing hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the total strength of the coalition forces of various countries is still far more than one million. On the side of Daliang City, almost all of the 15,000 Imperial Guards were killed, and the men in the city were all killed.

When tens of thousands of people were sacrificed, how could they withstand the next wave of Chu army's offensive?

Although Jin Ju kept saying, "Where the people are, the city is there," but in fact, he knew in his heart that maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, the coalition forces outside the city would be able to capture the city after all.

Returning to the tower alone, he met Zhao Shu, the prince of Shanglianghou.

Jin Ju heard about it, and when the Chu army's siege vehicles crashed into the city gate, Zhao Shu, the crown prince of Shangliang who was sitting on the tower for him, mobilized the militiamen and civilians above and below the city to carry mud and rocks to block the city gate.

, causing the Chu army's siege vehicles to return without success.

As for Zhao Shu himself, he never retreated from the tower from beginning to end.

Jin Ju must admit that he underestimated this young man's courage and ability.

"General Jin, are you injured? Your complexion..."

After telling Jin Ju about his achievements in the city tower as if claiming credit, Zhao Shu asked in shock.

Because he saw that Jin Ju's face was quite pale, as if he had lost too much blood.

"It's okay."

Jin Ju smiled and waved his hands, and was about to go back to the tower to rest for a while. Suddenly he staggered and his body fell forward. Fortunately, Zhao Shu had quick eyesight and quick hands to hold Jin Ju back.

"General Jin? General Jin?"

Zhao Shu was horrified. He shouted several times but no response from Jin Ju. He quickly summoned the nearby Wei soldiers. At this time, he saw Jin Ju holding his wrist and whispering: "Don't make any noise, for fear of affecting the morale of the army..."

…Help me into the building.”

Zhao Shu immediately kept silent, supported Jin Ju to the tower, and fetched the golden medicine according to the latter's instructions.

Since Jin Ju was already very weak, Wei Zu, who was helping him in with Zhao Shu, took off his armor for the former.

Only then did Zhao Shu notice that there was a gash on Jin Ju's right waist, and half of his body was dyed red with blood.

"...After suffering such serious injuries, he was still able to persist in killing the enemy and support the Chu army until they retreated..."

At this moment, Zhao Shu was in awe of Jin Ju.

"General Jin...general?"

Suddenly, Zhao Shu noticed that Jin Ju was lying on the bed unconscious. He was shocked and immediately sent for doctors in the city to treat Jin Ju.

However, the city doctor who came after hearing the news sighed and shook his head after diagnosing Jin Ju's injuries.

Seeing this, Zhao Shu asked in shock: "Doctor Chen, what do you mean by shaking your head?"

The old doctor heard this and explained: "General Jin Ju's right kidney was penetrated by a sharp object, and he also lost too much blood. I'm afraid he will die soon..." After that, he glanced at Jin Ju who was unconscious on the bed.

, and added with emotion: "If an ordinary person suffered such a serious injury, he would have died long ago, but General Jin can still support himself and continue to kill the enemy. The fierce generals of ancient times are no more than this, but... what a pity, what a pity."

"How could..."

Zhao Shu felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face.

At the same time, Chu Shuijun had withdrawn from the coalition camp.

After returning to the commander's tent, he sat on the main seat and remained silent for a long time.

From the side, the witch who followed him into the tent picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for Mr. Chu Shui.

Chu Shuijun drank it in one gulp, took a long breath, and then said with a smile but not a smile: "Wei general Zhou Ji is an unknown person, but today he is guarding the east wall of Daliang, and his names are Wei Shao and Wei Yun.

Wei Zhen and the others cannot advance even an inch... Could it be that he is the supreme general of the Wei State? Or are all the generals of the Wei State so brave?"

After hearing this, the witch said expressionlessly: "Do you need me to kill Zhou Ji?... I can pretend to be an ordinary Chu soldier and escape immediately with one successful blow."

"It's meaningless." Chu Shuijun shook his head and said: "Cang Qing, the victory of a war cannot be changed by assassination, let alone Daliang City where everyone is united at this moment. Even if you assassinate Zhou Ji, Daliang will not be able to change it.

Ma Ji, Chen Ji will appear..." After that, he said with emotion: "This city and the Wei people in the city are indeed tenacious."

Having said this, he smiled slightly and changed the topic and said: "However, as far as I can see, the opponent's tenacity may end there. In just one or two days, our army will be able to..."

As soon as she said this, the witch Cang Qing suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the tent. A moment later, soldiers outside the tent reported: "Mr. Chu Shui, Lord Zhangyang wants to see you!"

"Jun Zhangyang?" Chu Shuijun murmured and said with a smile: "Invite him in."

Immediately, the tent was lifted, and Zhangyang Lord Xiong Zheng stepped in, followed by a general with some blood stains on his armor. The witch Cang Qing, who was quite sensitive to blood, sniffed her nose and stared at him with cold eyes.

That general.

"Jun Zhangyang..."

Chu Shuijun had just stood up with a smile on his face when he saw Zhangyang Jun said eagerly: "Chu Shuijun, something serious has happened. Wei Wang Zhao Run is here!"

"..." Chu Shuijun was stunned for a moment, and then the expression on his face gradually became serious.

He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing this, Zhangyang Jun Xiong Zheng turned his head and glanced at the general behind him, signaling for him to reply.

The general nodded, clasped his fists towards Chu Shuijun and said: "The last general "Fengli" is a general under Lord Xiong Zheng. He was ordered by Lord Xiong Zheng to station at Bolangsha River Port a few days ago... Around the time of Shenshi today, suddenly

Tens of thousands of cavalry poured into the river port. Lord Chu Shui, you know, the Wei people

There is no city wall in Bolangsha, so our army cannot stop those cavalry at all..." At this point, he glanced at Chu Shuijun secretly, and then said cautiously: "The general saw that he was unable to defeat the enemy, so he ordered

Withdrawing the troops, I never expected to be chased by the cavalry for a while..."

Chu Shuijun glanced at Fengli and did not care about the loss of Bolangsha River Port - after all, compared with the major news that "Wei King Zhao Run personally led the army to Liang County", the recapture of Bolangsha River Port by the Wei army really seemed

negligible.

In contrast, he was even more surprised by what Fengli said: "tens of thousands of cavalry."

"Wei still has over 10,000 cavalry?" he said in surprise.

After hearing this, Feng Li quickly explained: "Hui Chu Shuijun is the tribal cavalry of the Sichuan-Luo Alliance... I interrogated the local Wei people about this matter. The Sanchuan County of Wei State has so far formed two

Tribal alliances, one of which is called the "Northern Sichuan Alliance", has a cavalry named "Jiejiao Army"..."

"Hmm."

Chu Shuijun nodded, and couldn't help but think of the alien cavalry that was still attacking their food road at this moment. It was the "Jiejiao Cavalry" that Feng Li mentioned.

"...The other tribe, the "Sichuan-Luo Alliance" in Luocheng, is mainly composed of the Yi and Yi tribes, the Yinrong. The warriors under it are all proficient in bow and horse. Except that they do not have an army number, their strength is the same as that of ordinary people.

Compared with the regular army, it is even worse." Feng Li explained with a serious face.

After hearing this, Chu Shuijun paced back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back, and then asked: "So, Zhao Run's army has arrived at Bolangsha?"

Feng Li was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and said: "That's not true... At least when the general led the retreat from Bolangsha, he hadn't seen the Wei army yet. I think the over 10,000 cavalry were the vanguard of the Wei army.

, the army led by King Wei is probably still on the way..."

Chu Shuijun nodded slightly and asked again: "Did that cavalry chase your defeated army all the way to the vicinity of Daliang?"

"This..." Feng Li hesitated for a moment, swallowed his saliva with some fear, and explained in a low voice: "I guess... he hasn't arrived in Liang County yet. At that time, in order to deliver the news in time, the general stayed behind.

After killing many soldiers..."
