Koi adopted daughter jumps over the farm gate

It's not just centurions like Bai Zhaomei and ordinary soldiers who are rescuing.

Meng Zhixu was also conducting command at the rescue site.

He was wearing a general's armor and his face was as calm as water.

He knew that the Rong army was coming in an instant, and now it had reached a point of no return.

The city wall was blown up, and what they feared most was the destruction of the people's hearts.

After all, the people of Ningcheng have always believed that Meng Zhixu can protect Ningcheng. Now that a hole has been blown in the city wall, how can they effectively defend against the enemy when the Rong army comes to kill them?

How should the unarmed people of Ningcheng escape when facing the Rong army?

These people are the people of Daxia, the people who have always trusted the northwest army.

He must not let these people be trampled by the iron hoof of the Rong Kingdom.

He absolutely cannot retreat!

Fighting is the only way out.

He must fight even if the reinforcements are delayed, and he must fight even if the ministers of the DPRK and China are discussing peace.

Fight to the end.

He wants to defend his enemies outside Ningcheng just like the late emperor did when he was King Jing.

It soon reached dawn.

Thanks to the army's participation in the rescue and the concerted efforts of the people, all the people buried under the rubble were soon rescued.

Originally a simple city wall was blown open, causing no casualties.However, the city wall in the northwest corner is close to residential buildings, and the blasts and debris generated caused the nearby residential buildings to be knocked down.

This resulted in the people being trapped in the ruins.

Some of the people who were dug out were injured, and some were already dead.

The lifeless corpses were piled up in an open space, which was very shocking in the firelight.

These are all sins committed by the Rong people.

Bai Dazhuang looked at the piled corpses and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He didn't understand what the Rong people wanted to do to treat the people so cruelly. Even if they occupied Ningcheng and the people were gone, what's the point of having an empty city?
The girl in red named Yue'er saw her mother's body piled among the many corpses. She cried heartbreakingly and wanted to rush over, but Bai Zhaomei held her back.

Xia Qinghe looked on with pity, took Yue'er over and coaxed her softly.

From Yue'er's mouth, I learned that her father was once a soldier from the northwest who died, and now her mother has passed away. She is so pitiful at such a young age.

Xia Qinghe decided on the spot to take her with him.

Bai Dazhuang and Zhao Dachui directed everyone to build bricks and stones on the wall.

At this time, there was a dispute at the entrance to the city wall.

It turned out that many wealthy families in Ningcheng learned that the city wall had been blown up and were worried that the Rong army would come to kill them, so they took their children out of the city to seek refuge.

The soldiers guarding the city were naturally unwilling to let them go. This was also for their consideration. If they encountered a large Rong army on the way, it would be better to stay in the city for safety.

But these wealthy families did not listen to the advice, and instead quarreled with the soldiers guarding the city.

Meng Zhixu watched all this with cold eyes and quickly came to the city gate.

"Those who want to go out will not be stopped. Those who want to stay and live and die with Ning Cheng can stay." Meng Zhixu stood in front of people, and the aura brought about by the battlefield was majestic and oppressive.

Those people stopped arguing under strong pressure.

Meng Zhixu continued: "The Northwest Army and I will protect you to the death, please believe me. When you leave this city and encounter the Rong army, what should you do? Why don't you stay and watch the Northwest Army fight, that way there is still a glimmer of hope? .”

As soon as Meng Zhixu finished speaking, four of the five large families who had left the city returned. One of them insisted on leaving, and the defenders had to let them go.Meng Zhixu breathed a sigh of relief.

His original intention was not to stop these wealthy families, but he was worried that more people would flee with them.

If we were intercepted halfway by the Rong Kingdom and pressed ordinary people to attack the city, would we open the gate or not, fight or not?
It must be a war. How could those soldiers bear to stab their compatriots with the knives and arrows in their hands?

By then the entire battlefield will be very passive.

Once you fall into passivity, you are likely to fail.

You don’t need to think about what it means to fail.

Meng Zhixu said to the soldiers and people: "The Rong people blew up our city walls, trampled on our land, massacred our people, and didn't even let us have a good year."

"It's right there, whose brothers and sisters are lying there, whose father and mother are lying there, and whose children are lying there. They are all our people in Ningcheng and Daxia. If they were not from the Rong Kingdom, they would not be lying there. ." Meng Zhixu said, pointing to the piles of corpses.

Some of the people around were sobbing softly. There lay their brothers and sisters, their fathers and mothers, their children... On this New Year's Eve, right before our eyes, they were bombed by the Rong people and could no longer see the first day of the new year. A ray of sunshine.

The sounds of sobs and lamentations not only made the people feel pity for them, but also filled the hearts of the iron-blooded soldiers with compassion.

"So today is the time for the decisive battle. I will let the Rong people repay our land, our city walls, and our people with their blood." Meng Zhixu's voice was as hard as steel in the cold night.

"Pay back! Pay back!" the soldiers roared.

The people who lost their loved ones shouted out.

At dawn, there was no Rong attack, so Meng Zhexu decided to take the initiative to launch an attack.

This was not a hasty decision on his part.

Originally, the northwest army decided to launch an active attack on the Rong Kingdom on New Year's Eve.

On New Year's Eve, Ningcheng's city wall was blown up, and many people were killed. This was a scar on Ningcheng.

Under the great sadness and worry that the Rong Kingdom would come to massacre the city, the Northwest Army, from the generals down to the ordinary soldiers, had more fighting spirit than before.

The people of Ningcheng also became determined to fully support the war.

If you don’t fight, you will die.

After fighting, there is still a glimmer of hope.

The people's hearts in Ningcheng are tighter than before.

As a general in the northwest, Meng Zhixu was not only good at military affairs, but also understood the hearts of the people.

On New Year's Eve, right in front of the blown-up city wall, they swore to launch an active attack on the Rong army.

The northwest army has already been assembled.

As the commander-in-chief, Meng Zhixu took the lead. After leaving the city gate, the city gate was slowly closed. Anyone who returned would be killed.

Xie Xiaolian and Wu Xiaoying stayed in the city to defend the city.

Because Meng Zhixu led his army out of the city to raid the Rong Kingdom, the Rong Kingdom would also send people to raid Ningcheng.

Some troops must be left to guard Ningcheng.

Seeing that Xie Xiaolian stayed to defend the city, Bai Dazhuang thought that Bai Zhaomei must also stay, but he didn't expect that Bai Zhaomei followed Meng Zhixu to meet the enemy.

Seeing the army slowly disappearing in the dark night, Bai Dazhuang couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother, obeying orders is the bounden duty of a soldier. When the fifth brother joins the army, he must obey orders. Whether it is to face the enemy or defend the city, someone needs to do it." Bai Erzhuang comforted the elder brother and said, "I believe that only the fifth brother To kill the enemy."

Bai Dazhuang knew that his second brother was right, and he also knew that whether he was facing the enemy or defending the city, his fifth brother would show his most heroic side.

So he ignored his thoughts and concentrated on laying bricks and stones on the city wall.
