Zhongli Mei’s idea was simple: since he had joined the army, life and death didn’t matter to him.
"General, I won't talk about the great principles of sacrificing one's life for the country, but since I, Zhongli Mei, joined the Fengling Army, I have never thought about returning alive."
The battle to defend the city is now horrific. Ying Bu's infantry and Ji Bu's archers are fighting with their lives on the line.
Long Zhu was on the eastern city wall, and he and the cavalry were the only ones who had not yet faced the first battlefield.
So many brothers, one by one they fell down before our eyes.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Stay here."
"He hasn't made any moves yet, so it's not time to use you."
Linghu Xiaoshan looked at the excited Zhongli Mei and immediately shouted at him. With a wave of her hand, several guards from the Linghu family controlled him.
"General."
Ying Bu pushed the door open and rushed into the city gate building.
"The west and east gates are in danger. The Northern Barbarians have regrouped an army of 10,000 and are splitting up to attack both sides."
"Now that three gates are under attack, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for much longer."
"Now that there is no enemy harassment at the south gate near the rear, I will send a fast horse to ask Lord Liu for help."
"General, Lord Liu is a skilled warrior. He currently has two thousand men under his command."
Zhongli Mei didn't hear what Linghu Xiaoshan said just now.
It was only then that he understood when Ying Bu mentioned it.
Zhongli Mei immediately stood up and said, "Since Lord Liu hasn't shown up yet, I'll go there myself."
"Sit down."
Linghu Xiaoshan shouted again, her expression becoming uncertain.
In fact, Linghu Xiaoshan thought very clearly. A long time ago, when the northern barbarian army was lurking outside the city, she was ready to sacrifice her life for the country.
Fifty thousand northern barbarians.
Even now, there are only about 40,000 people who can fight.
And what about their army defending the city?
There are 5,000 Fengling troops and 3,000 garrison troops, including some old and weak ones. Liu Feng has 2,000 people.
At most, the scale is only about 10,000 people.
She knew very well that this was a dead end, a dead end that could not be solved.
That's why he was prepared to die and agreed to let his two brothers follow Liu Feng.
On the one hand, Liu Feng is both civil and military, and following him will leave bloodlines for the Linghu family.
Because she knew her father's character well. Once the city was breached, he would fight to the death and never retreat.
On the other hand, Liu Feng is her fiancé and the husband of the Mu sisters.
Even if Liu Feng had a good plan and had two thousand men at his disposal, how could she take the initiative to put pressure on him?
If anything happens to Liu Feng, what will happen to the Mu sisters?
What should Wu Xiangyue do?
Liu Feng worked hard to build a paradise where the people have clothes to wear and food to eat. What if something happens to Liu Feng?
This paradise will return to its old state.
She didn't want this to happen.
For this reason, she didn't want Liu Feng to come.
But deep down in her heart, she particularly longed for Liu Feng to come, appear in front of her like a hero, and reach out to pull her onto the horse.
But in front of those dead Fengling Army brothers, she had already given up on these little girls.
He is the general of Fengling Army, commanding an army, and she is sitting on the city wall. At this moment, she is Nangong Qiu Shui, so how can she have such sentimental thoughts?
"General."
Zhongli Mei cried bitterly, finally bringing Linghu Xiaoshan back to her senses.
After a long time, Linghu Xiaoshan finally spoke.
"Reinforcements are not far from here."
"Zhongli Mei, I'm giving you the most important task. You must complete it well."
"Please give your orders, General."
Zhongli Mei instantly became alert.
"Take two hundred light cavalry out of the city. First, bring food into the city. Second, find reinforcements and have them speed up. When you see Cai Zifeng, tell him that if reinforcements don't arrive within a day, the entire Tianyong City army will be destroyed."
"What about Mr. Liu?"
"He, I believe he has his own plans, but the Fengling Army is not qualified to ask him for help."
"His coming is a favor, and his not coming is his duty."
Zhongli Mei gritted her teeth, turned around and rushed out. She didn't want to say any more to Linghu Xiaoshan.
She was clearly longing for it, but she had to pretend it was nothing.
He had already made up his mind to ask for help from Lord Liu in the name of Zhongli Mei, so that he could implement his plan as soon as possible.
"Ying Bu, even if reinforcements arrive, it will take at least half a day."
"Pass the order down. No matter what, hold on and fight to the death."
"It's getting dark. As long as we hold on until dawn, Tianyong City will be saved."
"General, the reserve?"
"Don't move the reserves, don't move the cavalry, at all costs we must leave some seeds for the Fengling Army."
"If I die in battle and the city falls, you will take the remaining troops to find Liu Feng. He will lead you to continue fighting on the battlefield, and he must be a good general."
Ying Bu didn't say anything, but clasped his fists and rushed out.
As Ying Bu walked out, Linghu Xiaoshan's heart seemed to be drawn in as well.
Amidst the noisy shouts and cries of killing, he looked towards the direction of Wenhuang County.
I suddenly thought to myself.
"According to his personality, he must have his own plans."
"It will come. It will come."
"That guy is so lecherous, how could he bear to leave me?"
Before she knew it, Linghu Xiaoshan had touched her cheek with her snow-white fingers.
Many years ago, she received the imperial order to form the Fengling Army. At that time, she wished she was a man.
At that time, she hated herself for having only a beautiful appearance. At that time, everyone in the court thought that she was just a weak woman in the boudoir.
