Chapter 1254
Zhengzhou.

On May 21, the sky was slightly bright.

Lu Xiufu raised his head from the desk, revealing deeply sunken, blackened eye sockets.

He stayed up all night again, sorting out the military supplies to be dispatched to various places.

"Lu Xianggong, do you want to eat something?"

A civil official put a bowl of cold porridge back on Lu Xiufu's desk.

"Okay, thank you very much."

Lu Xiufu was so sleepy that he wished he could lean on the chair and fall asleep, but he really needed something to eat.

He took a few mouthfuls of porridge with a spoon, but someone rushed into the hall again.

"Lu Xianggong! Something happened!"

After the spoon was put down, Lu Xiufu cheered up again and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

He also raised his hand to invite the other party to come closer.

No matter how sleepy you are, don't forget to treat people with courtesy.

"General Pan Zhuo, the guard of Xiangshan Mountain, ordered the villain to report that several military supplies were suddenly attacked yesterday! He doesn't know where to save!"

Lu Xiufu lost his sleepiness, and said, "Don't worry, drink some tea first, and talk to me carefully."

He glanced at the table, and simply handed his teapot to the messenger.

At the same time, he has asked his subordinates to summon the city officials and generals.

After listening to the situation carefully, he could no longer eat the porridge on the table, so Lu Xiufu hurried straight to the government office and gave various orders.

"Close the city gate immediately. Anyone who wants to enter the city must strictly verify the order. Send a fast horse to inform Luoyang, Mengjindu and other places. Also, all the baggage teams within more than ten miles out of the city will be called back. As for having gone far Yes, we will defend on the spot and wait for rescue, we need to send someone to tell Marshal Zhang Jue to ask him to return to the division..."

These matters were dealt with until noon, and a messenger rushed over again.

But it was Dong Wenzhong sent from Luoyang.

"Lu Xianggong, Dong Xianggong asked me to tell you that Lu Wenhuan's soldiers and horses have approached another hundred miles along the Yi River."

"At this time?"

Lu Xiufu was surprised at first, then pondered for a while, his face became more and more worried, and murmured: "The Yuan army suddenly sent many cavalry to attack our grain road, and Lu Wenhuan also entered the army?"

"Lu Xianggong said that they made an agreement?"

"Yes, go back and tell Mr. Dong about the situation here, and ask him to deal with it carefully. I will write a letter and you will take it with you."

Under such circumstances, even Lu Xiufu's handwriting became a little scribbled.

After writing a letter, it was already noon.

Lu Xiufu picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of cold porridge in a hurry, then rushed to the top of the city.

When he met someone in the government office, he remembered to wipe his mouth, slowed down his pace, and straightened his clothes.But when he went out, it was still raining, but he didn't bother to open an umbrella.

While patrolling the city, he turned his head and looked east several times, waiting for more news.

Finally, in the evening, Zhang Jue's messenger arrived.

"The marshal ordered me to tell Mr. Lu that he didn't go far. But to annihilate Boyan, Zhengzhou City needs to be able to hold the Yuan army for several days..."

~~
The rain fell on the dilapidated earthen wall of Zhongmou County, washing away the blood.

In the evening, the Yuan army finally stopped attacking, but they were stationed not far from the city.And there are spy horses still peeping around the city.

The civilian men of the supply team were also summoned to defend the city today. Although they can't kill the enemy, they can carry wood and stone.

Hao Erfu stared at Hao Gou'er like an old hen protecting its cubs all day long.Unexpectedly, when the Yuan army retreated, Hao Gou'er disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Dog? Dog?!"

"Brother, don't panic, I saw the dog sending the wounded soldier over just now."

"Well, okay, okay..."

Only then did Hao Erfu catch his breath, looking around at the messy scene after the war, he couldn't help but bury his face in his hands.

In fact, I was so scared that I cried.

Fighting is not as good as he thought. The human body is cut off and thrown in the rain. How can it not be scary?He, Hao Erfu, only wanted to farm the land, and he really didn't want to go through this.

In the wounded barracks, Hao Gou'er was also in tears at this time.

He was desperately pressing the wound of a wounded soldier, but the blood was still gushing out from between his fingers.

"Hurry up! Doctor, doctor, come and save him! Come and save him..."

"Hurry up……"

Finally, someone came up from behind, pushed Hao Gou'er away, and started to stop the bleeding of the wounded soldier.

Hao Gou'er just fell to the ground, and then shivered, because he was completely soaked, it was rain and blood.

Hearing the endless screams around him again, he felt powerless for a while, so he hugged his knees and lowered his head, trying to hold back the feeling of wanting to gag.

After an unknown amount of time, someone patted him.

"Little brother."

Standing in front of him was the doctor just now.

"Your hand is injured, the old man will bandage it for you."

Hao Gou'er raised his hand and took a look, only to see that the palm of his hand was completely worn out and still dripping blood.

He thanked the doctor shyly, let the other party wrap his wounds, and asked: "Doctor, is he alright?"

It was referring to the wounded man he moved back just now.

"Not dead, the wound you pressed was healed, but one hand was useless. Fortunately, there are all the military supplies here, and you can save your life. You will change your clothes later, don't catch the cold..."

"Thank you, Doctor."

After finishing all this work, Hao Gou'er wanted to leave the wounded soldiers camp, but after thinking about it, he stayed to light a fire and cook food for the wounded soldiers.

It wasn't until late at night that the wounded soldier he brought back woke up slowly, lay there stretching out his left hand and groping to the right for a while, weeping silently.

Hao Gou'er looked at it for a while, then went back to the delivery team.

Before arriving at the place, Hao Erfu rushed out, caught him and told him not to run around.

"Don't worry, Dad, I won't run around." Hao Gou'er replied in a low voice, and said nothing more.

All night, he felt very tired, and the thought of joining the army gradually faded in his heart.

~~
Before dawn the next day, the Yuan army began to attack the city again.

Hao Gou'er no longer wanted to go to the place where the officers and soldiers were like yesterday, and obediently listened to the arrangement of the quartermaster Fan Xueyi to help them defend the city.

Today's battle was even more fierce than yesterday's. By noon, the Yuan army had already reached the top of the city.

"Stop them!"

"Push them off!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

Hao Gou'er was listening to those yells inside the city wall, but when he looked up, he couldn't see anything, and suddenly heard a loud "bang".

"Oh!"

Afterwards, the killing sound became much quieter, but many people cried out loudly.

"General Wu!"

"General! Wu Fu died in battle."

"Let Cui Taiping come on top."

"Cui Taiping also died in battle..."

Afterwards, someone nearby shouted: "Follow me!"

Hao Gou'er turned his head and saw that Fan Xueyi had recruited some people and ran towards the city.

The idea of ​​joining the army that had faded suddenly turned again, Hao Gou'er took two steps forward, and immediately after, Hao Erfu pulled him back with all his strength.

"Boy, what are you doing?!"

On this day, Hao Gou'er failed to make it to the top of the city after all.

But at night, Fan Xueyi came over in a suit of armor, and said to them, "A few generals died in battle today, and the general ordered me to take one of them. Tomorrow you will still assist in defending the city, and the adjutant will be in charge." .Also, a section of the west city wall collapsed and had to be repaired overnight."

Someone in the crowd said: "Officer Fan Da, you are a scholar, you must save your life."

"I haven't received the land of Hehuang, the son of heaven, and I don't plan to look back at my hometown."

Fan Xueyi cupped his hands, turned around and rushed to the top of the city.

Everyone couldn't understand what he was saying, they just looked at each other.

Hao Gou'er looked over and saw Fan Xueyi's resolute face in the firelight.

The deputy supply officer then said: "Big guy, hurry up and repair the city wall! At least we don't have to be hacked by the Mongols."

This group of people rushed to the west city, moving large wooden beams and stones to block the collapsed city wall.

a long time.

Suddenly hearing a "whoosh", Hao Gou'er saw Sun Laoliu who was smashing the wooden beams in front of him and fell down.

"Sixth Uncle Sun?!"

"Whoosh whoosh..."

More arrows have been shot.

"The Yuan Army is here!"

The peasants panicked and fled in all directions.

At the same time, Hao Erfu took Hao Gou'er and fled.

"Quick, run!"

Looking back, I saw corpses all over the ground, and many of the civilian husbands who came all the way from Guanzhong had fallen down.

Hao Gou'er's mind was confused, and he followed Hao Erfu for a while in a daze, when he saw a column of soldiers rushing towards him in front of him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and tried to fixate on one of the figures, then broke away from Hao Erfu's hand and ran towards the soldier.

"It's you?!"

In the dark night, he saw a figure with a broken right hand, who was running with his left hand holding a spear.

The two passed by, and Hao Gou'er saw the other's pale face with an unyielding arrogance.

"Escape!"

Hao Erfu grabbed Hao Ergou again.

"Father, I won't run away!" Hao Ergou yelled violently: "The year my mother died, you fled from Guanzhong to Hanzhong, isn't it far enough? I want to go back."

He turned around, pointed at those figures, and shouted again: "They are all going back! Back to Guanzhong, back to Hehuang. Back to Hehuang, back to the Central Plains... Go back!"

Hao Erfu was stunned for a moment, and felt his hands loosen, but Hao Gou'er had already escaped his protection and ran towards the west city again.

~~
"Let the peasants retreat!"

"Go back!"

"put!"

Amidst the explosion, screams rang out again in the west city.

Afterwards, Tang Jun, who was in neat formation, caught up and blocked the collapsed city wall.

Tang Jun has thunderbolt cannons that can be used in the rain, but there are not many left here.

Fortunately, the sudden crisis that night has passed temporarily...

Fan Xueyi was finishing the work when he suddenly heard a shout, turned his head to look, and waved: "Hao Erfu, come here."

"Fan Ya...General Fan, my son..."

"Hao Xingbang is here." Fan Xueyi reached out to the crowd and picked up Hao Gou'er.

"General, I want to join the army."

"Go back with your father first, and talk about it later."

"I just want to join the army."

"Then listen to my arrangement." Fan Xueyi pressed Hao Gou'er's shoulder and said, "I will let you serve as a soldier, or a good soldier."

"The only son, the only son is..."

Hao Erfu still wanted to speak, but was glared at by Fan Xueyi again.

"Go, go back to the warehouse and gather."

The father and son had no choice but to bow their heads and walk towards the civilian husband's team.

When Hao Gou'er passed by Fan Xueyi, he muttered in a low voice, "I obviously killed an enemy soldier..."

"I know."

Fan Xueyi patted Hao Gou'er on the back again, turned around and climbed to the top of the wall, rushing to his commander.

"General."

"look."

A watch tube was handed over, and Fan Xueyi looked up, only to see that the sky was just breaking.

The rain finally stopped.

In the distance, one after another wolf smoke can be seen.

"Bo Yan's army is coming, we have to burn the food and grass, and return to Zhengzhou City..."
