In the next two days, Zhangzhou City was on the verge of collapse, with heavy casualties, but it did not fall. It was like a lone boat in the sea, which was about to be swallowed by huge waves at any time, but it still survived in the waves.

The corpses under the city wall have been piled up very high, there are bandits from the blue sky, and there are also officers and soldiers who guard the city. When they were alive, the two sides fought to the death.

In order to attack Zhangzhou City, the Qingtian Army has actually made some preparations and has a lot of siege weapons, but Zhangzhou City is a big city in the east after all, very strong and not easy to attack. Already a little tired.

The defenders are already exhausted.

Although it was only for a few days, the Qingtian people attacked too fiercely, they did not give the defenders any time to breathe. During the days of fighting, the armor never left their bodies, their knives never left their hands, there was a slight break, and they even took a nap while leaning on their spears.

In the past two days, while attacking Zhangzhou City, the Qingtian people sent people to arrest the people in all directions, and they were driven to the base of the city. They tirelessly persuaded the officers and soldiers at the top of the city to surrender. Seeing the tragic death of their relatives under their noses, although it makes people sad and indignant, it also dealt a heavy blow to the psychology of the officers and soldiers who defended the city.

Before the dawn of dawn, the two sides had a temporary truce, and each took a breath. Han Santong's face was already a little swollen, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he hadn't rested for many days. He walked lightly at the top of the city, Looking at the soldiers sitting or lying on the top of the wall to rest, I know that these soldiers are also exhausted.

Some soldiers who were still on duty with their eyelids open saw Han Santong and others, and wanted to salute. Han Santong waved his hand to signal not to wake up the soldiers.

Although the city of Zhangzhou is crumbling, and although Han Santong is well-known as a defeated general, he led the people to defend Zhangzhou and shared the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. The soldiers' respect for him has not disappeared.

Walking to the corner of the city, Han Santong put his hands on the top of the city, looked at the enemy camp under the sky, with a solemn expression, and Luo Shiliang, the prefect of Zhangzhou who followed him, said softly: "General Han, I'm afraid we can't stand it for a long time."

"I know." A gust of morning wind blew, Han Santong was blown by the morning wind, and only felt a little bit clearer, "Qingtian King is sure to win Zhangzhou City, take Zhangzhou City, Zhangzhou is under the control of Qingtian King Next, head east all the way, and it won't be long before the entire Fuhai will fall into his hands."

"General, we have already sent someone to send a request for help, why is there no movement yet?" Luo Shiliang smiled wryly, "Could it be that the imperial court is ready to give up Fu Hai?"

"Wait a little longer!" Han San said: "The Holy Majesty is in Hexi, our request for help has been sent to Hexi, and in Liaodong, Chiliandian will not sit idly by when it receives a request for help... I am afraid they are already coming to help on the road."

Luo Shiliang nodded: "I hope so!"

Han Santong took a look at Luo Shiliang and said with a smile: "Luo Zhizhou, I used to have some prejudices against scholars in my heart. I just thought that you were just exaggerating. If something big happened, you would be helpless. But this time, Luo Zhizhou and this general will guard Zhangzhou together. Let Ben see the toughness of scholars."

"The general is overwhelmed." Luo Shiliang smiled and said: "The court may have acted improperly, and the people may have some hardships, but if the world is in chaos, the people will suffer even more. Look at the people of King Qingtian, who can take innocent people as hostages. If Fu Hai If it really falls into their hands, what will be the consequences? General Han, to put it bluntly, they punish and kill corrupt officials. Just kill... all the officials in this world are corrupt officials? If I am caught by them, I will definitely die, so I might as well fight them to the death, just to survive, and there is nothing tough about it."

Han Santong laughed, and then said sadly: "It's a pity that the general underestimated the enemy too much. He was caught off guard by King Qingtian in Hebei, and the whole line collapsed...!"

"General Han's iron-blooded loyalty, my subordinates can see it." Luo Shiliang said: "General, you don't have to think too much. These blue sky bandits are against the sky. There is no justice at all. They may deceive the people for a while, but they won't last long. Under the command of the general, we are united and waiting for reinforcements, maybe Zhangzhou can turn the crisis into safety."

Han Santong nodded and smiled, but his heart was full of sadness.

If there are really destined soldiers, when the officers and soldiers are defeated in Hebei, the imperial court should send reinforcements. The letter for help has been sent out for a long time. Whether it is Hexi or Liaodong, if there are really reinforcements, there should be some news. But until today, the two groups of people , without any movement, he knew that the city of Zhangzhou was more than good, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken. The city walls collapsed in many places, and the morale of the guards and soldiers, because of the hard fighting in the past few days and the killing of hostages by the Qingtian crowd, had seriously declined.

He knew very well that after dawn, a new round of siege would begin. Zhangzhou City was already at the end of its battle. Maybe when it got dark, the battle flag of King Qingtian had already been planted on the head of Zhangzhou City.

"General, there is still a lot of grain stored in the city." Luo Shiliang hesitated, and finally said: "The lower officials have sent people to guard the granary. Once the city is destroyed, let them set fire to the grain and leave no grain for the bandits. .”

Both of them said that they could survive, but they both knew in their hearts that Zhangzhou City would be captured at any time, and it was just a dream to defend Zhangzhou City.

Han Santong hesitated for a moment, and finally said with a wry smile: "Forget it, if the city really falls, the food should be put there. The war is not about killing more people...!" A look of desolation appeared on his face.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and the dawn was falling on the ground little by little. The soldiers at the top of the city gate were in the dawn, and most of them woke up. Everyone's face was almost solemn, and everyone knew clearly. For this sake, perhaps today is the last battle.

Drunk lying in the battlefield, Lord Grim, a few people have fought back in ancient times.

To die on the battlefield is the best destination for a soldier.

Between the sky and the earth, there was a rumbling sound suddenly, and the officers and soldiers defending the city all thought in unison that this was the Qingtian group starting to attack the city, and everyone looked down from the top of the city.

"No...!" Although it was only dawn and the world was still dark, Han Santong's observation skills were astonishing, "Luo Zhizhou, there seems to be something wrong with the army formation of Qingtian bandits...!"

Luo Shiliang looked over, the Qingtian army was indeed moving, but the movement was a bit weird, it seemed to be a commotion, figures flickered, and looking over faintly, many Qingtian soldiers seemed to be running around like headless chickens.

"The bandit camp is in disorder, there is a problem." Han Santong clenched his saber tightly, "Everyone, don't act rashly."

"My lord, look, what's over there?" A soldier with excellent eyesight suddenly pointed into the distance, with a look of surprise on his face.

Han Santong immediately moved to the other end and looked down from a high position, only to see the dust billowing in the sky, the sound of hooves, and the black shadow appearing out of thin air from the horizon, very conspicuous at the junction of the sky and the earth.

"what happened?"

"Is it... is it reinforcements?"

"Where are the reinforcements?"

"Look, it's cavalry, so fast...!"

"It's cavalry, look quickly, they are rushing towards the bandit camp...!"

The soldiers at the top of the city became excited and shouted loudly one by one. At this time, even Han Santong's eyes lit up. He could see clearly that more and more people and horses appeared in the sky. The sound of rumbling horseshoes made the earth tremble. , Hundreds of cavalry turned into several long dragons, and quickly approached the bandit camp.

"It's reinforcements!" Han Santong shouted loudly, and thousands of cavalry appeared. When Han Santong saw those cavalry, he immediately concluded that they were reinforcements, because he knew very well that although the Qingtian thieves had a large number of people, what they lacked most was horses. It was impossible for them to have such Huge cavalry corps.

The cavalry didn't raise the flag, but they were as fast as lightning, and the three long dragons stabbed fiercely at the bandit camp like a trident, extremely sharp.

The bandit camp was full of commotion, shouts, crowds of people, and the formation moved, obviously organizing a formation to meet the incoming army.

On the plain land, which is the cavalry's favorite terrain, the four long dragons are like arrows off the string. Before the bandits can react, they have already penetrated deeply into the bandit camp.

Soldiers and horses pass by, bandit flags fall, and screams join together in bandit battalion, horses step on joint battalion, cavalry legion is invincible, unstoppable, like sharp knives, split bandit battalion apart, invincible.

In the Qingtian camp, the drums were beating loudly, and the horns were blasting for a long time, only to see a group of swordsmen and gunmen swarming out of the camp, and clung to the long dragons like flies.

Qing Shihou had a dignified expression at this time, but there was no panic on his face.

Before the cavalry corps arrived, he had already received the news that there was a powerful cavalry force moving towards him on the plain. He was shocked immediately, knowing that there were no cavalry in the Qingtian Army, and the sudden appearance of the cavalry corps could only be reinforcements from the imperial court .

Fukaidao didn't have many cavalry, not to mention being able to form a huge cavalry army. After a little analysis, based on the size and direction of the incoming enemy, he quickly concluded that if nothing unexpected happened, the one who came to rescue was Cavalry from Liaodong.

The Liaodong iron cavalry of Red Refining Electricity finally appeared in Zhangzhou at the last moment.

It's just that he didn't have much time to think. The news of the arrival of the reinforcements was soon known in the camp, and there was a commotion in the camp. After the arrangement was completed, the Liaodong iron cavalry came over with lightning speed.

The fierce tiger in Liaodong finally came out of the mountain with the momentum of breaking through the bamboo. How many people can stop the tiger going down the mountain.

Qingshihou saw the Liaodong cavalry rushing into the camp like lightning. The Liaodong warriors on the horses, with their sabers like sickles, were harvesting the heads of Qingtian soldiers like ears of wheat.
