The successive sieges by more than 100,000 people had exhausted Wang Yanzhang and his men and resulted in heavy casualties.
On top of the city wall.
After Wang Yanzhang counted the wounded and found that there were only two thousand soldiers capable of fighting, he was determined to die.
At this time, he saw Li Cunxiao leaning against the battlement to rest, so he walked over, sat next to him, and slowly said:
"Isn't General Li Marshal Hu Zhe's subordinate?"
"Is he not going to send someone to rescue you?"
Hearing this, Li Cunxiao did not think about it and groaned in response.
"Shouldn't I be telling you this?"
Wang Yanzhang was stunned by these words, and immediately asked, "What do you mean, General?"
Li Cunxiao's eyes, which were originally closed, slowly opened and said:
"Don't you understand what I mean? How much benefit did Hu Zhe give you to make you willing to risk your life for him and defend the city gate for him?"
As soon as the words fell.
Wang Yanzhang was stunned.
In an instant, he thought of many things.
He then asked, "General, did you meet Guo Kai before you left for the battle?"
At this point in the conversation, Li Cunxiao realized something was amiss. "Did Guo Kai come to see you too?"
Wang Yanzhang nodded.
In an instant, the two of them figured everything out.
"It turns out that we were used by Guo Kai."
"Huzhe is nothing more than a knife that kills people. He is not the one who actually wields the knife."
Wang Yanzhang murmured weakly.
Just then.
The horn sounded.
The Qin army is attacking the city again.
This time, the Qin army dispatched 50,000 troops to attack the city.
But there were only two thousand soldiers defending the city.
Anyone could have guessed that they couldn't hold on.
At such a critical moment, Wang Yanzhang immediately made a decision.
"General Li, if I take the initiative to open the city gates, I will use these two thousand elite soldiers to fight a bloody battle for you, and I will also give you a high-quality warhorse."
"With your strength, can you break through the siege and find Hu Zhe?"
Li Cunxiao estimated it secretly, then nodded heavily and said, "If it's just me, it should be possible."
Wang Yanzhang said, "Explain Guo Kai's situation to Marshal Huzhe."
"There are treacherous officials in the court who must be killed. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the Great Jin will be destroyed."
Li Cunxiao quickly asked, "What about you, General?"
Wang Yanzhang looked solemnly at the tens of thousands of Qin soldiers rushing towards the city gate, and murmured:
"Didn't the general say that if you were alone, you could leave."
"As for this general... dying on the battlefield is also a good fate."
"It's a pity that I can't witness it with my own eyes. One day, you will be able to kill that bastard Guo Kai!"
At such a critical moment, and since they were all passionate men, Li Cunxiao did not say anything sentimental, but nodded solemnly and said:
"Please rest assured, General Wang. I will make Guo Kai suffer the pain of thousands of arrows piercing his heart, in order to avenge you and the 30,000 soldiers defending the city!"
