He ordered his subordinates to seize every opportunity to repair the city defenses, treat the wounded, and rest the entire force.
But everyone's face was filled with fatigue and worry.
Everyone knows that the Tartars will never give up, and the next round of attack will only be more fierce.
And the goal of holding on for ten days is becoming increasingly difficult.
At the same time, in Shuozhou City.
Han Zhong was always paying attention to the battle situation in Zhendibao, Weizhou and Yinzhou.
Shi Yong sent someone to deliver the urgent news that more than half of the soldiers were killed in the battle, which made him restless.
It was a miracle that a thousand soldiers held out for five days with the help of the simple fortifications of Zhendi Fort.
If they hold out for another five days, Shi Yong and the remaining 500 soldiers will probably all be killed in Zhendi Fort.
He dragged his sick body and called Zhao Wen, Zhong Dahu, Bai Ruolan, Wang Tiezhu, Xi Sheng, Guo Luo and others to discuss the matter.
"What do you think? Should Shi Yong retreat to Jingbian Military Town? Or should he continue to hold out for the full ten days?"
"Captain Shi has only a thousand men against a Tartar army of 100,000. I heard they even used catapults. It's already been six days. If they continue to hold out, they will surely be annihilated."
Zhao Wen frowned.
He was a clerk in the Colonel's Mansion and also Zhao Muyun's second uncle.
He was shocked to hear that Zhao Muyun had fallen off a cliff and died, and he still couldn't believe it.
But seeing Mrs. Bai Ruolan and Mrs. Huan Naxue so sad, and Han Zhong, Wang Tiezhu and others so excited, he had to accept reality.
However, he did not tell Zhao's mother and Zhao Pu.
When he saw that Zhao Muyun's subordinates and wives quickly calmed down and resolutely defended the family business that Zhao Muyun had built, he also recovered from the grief of losing his nephew.
After all, Zhao Muyun left some seeds.
When Shuozhou was facing a crisis, Zhao Wen actively assisted Han Zhong in handling Shuozhou's civil affairs.
"Yes, Captain Shi has tried his best. The soldiers of Shuozhou cannot be wasted like this."
Zhong Dahu agreed. "Let him retreat to Shuozhou to rest. I'll take over the Jingbian Army's second line of defense! No one knows this place better than me. Don't compete with me."
Jingbian Military Town was Zhong Dahu's territory half a year ago.
"I wonder if Zhao Tou were here, would he let Xiao Shitou hold on or retreat?" Xi Sheng said softly.
"Of course we should let Little Stone retreat! Brother Zhao loves his brothers the most. He would rather lose the city than let his brothers die."
Wang Tiezhu objected loudly and almost stood up from his wheelchair.
Han Zhong glanced at Bai Ruolan and asked for her opinion.
"Old Han, as long as Brother Yun is here, he will definitely keep our brothers alive." Bai Ruolan said slowly.
"Alright! In that case, tell Shi Yong to retreat at night, bluffing and creating a false impression. We can delay the attack as long as possible."
Han Zhong made the final decision, "Next, everyone, be fully prepared and defend Shuozhou."
"Sima Han, how long do we have to hold on?" asked Guo Luo, who had been silent all the time.
"It shouldn't take too long!" Han Zhong stood up and looked to the south.
Boss Zhao, oh Boss Zhao, when will you show up?
I'm afraid I can't hold on for much longer!
