Chapter 475 Counterattack

After Du Zhong finished his instructions and left, Leng Xing hesitated for a moment as she looked at the medicine in her hand.

Looking at the unconscious Zhu Feng, Leng Xing tried to pry open his mouth and stuffed the medicine in, then poured some water in, pinched Zhu Feng's chin with her hand and lifted it up.

The water flowed out from the corners of Zhu Feng's mouth.

He was in a deep coma and had completely lost the ability to swallow, so this method would not work.

After wiping the water stains from the corners of Zhu Feng's mouth with a handkerchief, Leng Xing turned her head and looked at the door of the tent. After she estimated that no one would come in, she picked up the water cup and brought it close to her mouth to drink a sip, then leaned over and lowered her head to get closer to Zhu Feng.

The medicine was in Zhu Feng's mouth, and as long as the water was fed into his mouth, the medicine would follow into his throat.

Leng Xing clenched her hands, put them on Zhufeng's lips shyly, and fed the water into his mouth by breathing. Then she left quickly, fearing that someone would come in and see them.

Zhufeng was unaware of anything and was barely breathing. Leng Xing

held his hand and spoke uncomfortably: "I really like the silver hairpin you gave me. I will always wear it in the future."

"If you wake up, I won't be mad at you. Also, I'll treat you to a drink..."

Leng Xing was not good at speaking. After a few words, she didn't know what to say.

But she thought these words were what Zhufeng wanted to hear the most, so she kept repeating them.

When the sun rose completely, the battle outside the military camp was nearing its end.

The victory or defeat was already decided, and the Nanyan people were just resisting stubbornly.

After leaving some generals to continue the siege, the rest of the generals returned to the camp to eat.

"Husband, brother-in-law, are you injured?" Jiang Shu brought breakfast into the main tent. Seeing that the two people's clothes and armor were stained with blood, his heart instantly lifted. Seeing

that Jiang Shu's eyes were red, Yu Zheng knew that she had been crying, and pulled her to sit down and said, "We are fine, don't worry."

"It's all the enemy's blood." Zhou Boxu said, picked up the chopsticks to eat.

Time is running out, they have to finish their meal quickly and send troops to attack the city.

Jiang Shu also knew that they had important things to do, so he didn't say anything more and asked Yu Zheng to eat quickly.

"I'll go to organize the troops." Zhou Boxu finished his meal and left first.

Yu Zheng nodded and quickened his pace. After finishing the food in the bowl, he put down his chopsticks and stood up.

Jiang Shu knew that he was leaving, so she suppressed her anxiety and whispered, "My husband, be careful. I will wait for you to return victorious."

"Okay." Yu Zheng agreed, and finally looked at Jiang Shu's sad face and said, "Ren Dong's death was an accident. No one wants it."

"I know." Jiang Shu nodded, and couldn't help choking up when he thought of Ren Dong: "I just feel sorry and sad. Such a good girl, she hasn't even been to Shangjing..."

With tears in her eyes, Jiang Shu couldn't continue.

Yu Zheng raised his hand to wipe the moisture from her eyes and said, "We will avenge her and won't let her die in vain."

What has happened cannot be changed. All they can do is try their best to protect the living.

Jiang Shu nodded again, and left the tent with Yu Zheng. He stood aside from a distance and watched Yu Zheng and Zhou Boxu lead the army out of the camp.

Jiang Shu didn't go to arrange Rendong's funeral until the army was far away and out of sight.

Although Rendong came to serve her, she was not a maid, but a commoner. Although they didn't spend much time together, Jiang Shu liked the optimistic and strong Rendong very much.

The smiling face she saw in the morning had turned cold and pale, and he would never smile at her again.

Jiang Shu felt depressed and asked someone to send Rendong back to Yicheng and let Lian Xu take care of her funeral.

When the guards lifted Rendong onto the carriage, Dabai also flew up.

The guards reached out to catch him, but Dabai bit him.

Jiang Shu sighed, "Forget it, let Dabai accompany its master."

All the beast masters of Nanyan were dead, and the beast army was also slaughtered, so there was no need for the flock of geese. Besides, if Honeysuckle died, there would be no one to control the geese.

With this in mind, Jiang Shu asked someone to prepare another car to send all the geese back to Yicheng and take good care of them.

These geese have made great contributions in the war and are no longer ordinary poultry. They should be treated well.

After sending Honeysuckle away, Jiang Shu went to see Zhufeng, and then returned to the rear service camp to work.

The warm sun was shining. General Zuo saw that the sun had risen high, but the cavalry he sent out had not returned yet. He knew that something had happened and paced anxiously in the tent.

"Report!" The scout rushed into the tent.

General Zuo stopped and said, "Speak."

"The cavalry and beast army were completely wiped out, and the Dazhao army is on the way to Laishun City." The scout looked anxious.

After hearing this, General Zuo staggered for a moment, then calmed himself down and said, "Gather the troops to defend the city!"

Now, there were only 20,000 infantrymen in the entire Shuncheng, and they could not stop the Dazhao army at all. But they had to stop them even if they could not, as they had no other way to retreat.

General Zuo put on his armor, picked up his steel knife, and led 20,000 infantrymen to the city gate quickly.

When he reached the city gate and climbed up the city wall, General Zuo saw the Dazhao army coming in a mighty force and had already reached the city.

The battle was about to break out.

"Wuong--" The horn sounded, and the Dazhao general shouted loudly to charge and attack the city.

"Archers, get ready!" General Zuo shouted in a deep voice.

He knew that his troops were far inferior to those of Dazhao, so he did not go out of the city to fight immediately, but chose to consume Dazhao's troops first and delay time.

Yu Zheng saw through everything and waved his hand to give orders.

The generals in front quickly made way, and the generals in the back came forward with more than a hundred people.

These more than a hundred people were injured, their hands were tied behind their backs, and tied in a row with iron chains. They all looked at the city wall with fear and despair and hope.

"General, they are our people!" The leader on the city wall gritted his teeth.

The people of Dazhao were too vicious, and they used their people as shields.

"General..." The archer hesitated and asked for instructions.

The left general looked at the captured Nanyan cavalry with a sad look, and said cruelly: "Release!"

"Swoosh--" Feather arrows shot down from the sky and hit the Nanyan cavalry.

More than a hundred people fell to the ground and screamed.

Dazhao's generals held up their shields to protect the battering rams as they approached the city walls and gates.

"Release the rolling stones!" General Zuo ordered in a cold voice.

"Retreat!" Dazhao General Tu Hun tightened his body and retreated rapidly when the rolling stones fell.

As soon as the rolling stones stopped, they continued to move forward.

After repeating this for two quarters of an hour, General Zuo received an urgent report.

"General, the North Gate and the South Gate have been attacked, and support is urgently needed."

General Zuo's heart sank suddenly after hearing this, and his head was buzzing.

He expected that Dazhao would attack the city from multiple directions, and sent 5,000 troops to the South Gate and the North Gate respectively. At present, there are only 10,000 troops at the West Gate, so there is no extra force to reinforce.

"Defend it to the death, and you must hold on until the prince comes back!" General Zuo gave a death order.

He knew very well that once the troops were transferred away, Yu Zheng would order a fierce attack on the West Gate.

For now, the only solution is to delay for a while.

General Zuo raised his head and glanced at the sun in the sky, hoping that time would pass faster and faster.

Xingyi City has 40,000 soldiers and horses. Although they cannot fight Dazhao head-on, if they resist, Dazhao will not be able to easily capture Shuncheng.

Now they are like trapped beasts in a desperate situation. They know that the enemy cannot be defeated, but they can only fight to the death.

After the rolling stones were released, the Dazhao army launched a fierce attack, and the city walls were shaking from being hit. General

Zuo had no choice but to order his troops to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Five thousand soldiers obeyed the order to leave the city, ready to die.

"The city gate is open." Yu Zheng said in a cold tone, his expression solemn.

The time they have been waiting for has come.
