Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Chapter 225 Hold on

Xie Zhiyun didn't send an army report to Wei Cang and Wei Ji about the news of Yezhou being besieged.

The most important thing now is the battle at the border. No matter what happens in the city, it cannot shake the morale of the army.

Yezhou wanted to fight steadily and slowly, but the North Vietnamese Army did not give them this opportunity.

From the second day onwards, the Vietnamese army began to attack the city violently.

The war broke out in an instant.

Even in Su Guogong's mansion, you can hear the soldiers fighting, fighting, wailing and roaring at the other end of the city.

The flames of war burned so quickly that the kitchen in the south square that had just been set up could no longer be used in an instant, because the south gate was violently entered by the North Vietnamese army, and the common people were quite unsafe here.

Xie Zhiyun urgently moved the kitchen away from the South Square and arranged it in the streets and alleys to the north, which gave her a lot of peace of mind.

But the cruelty of the war still exceeded her imagination.

On the first day, hundreds of soldiers guarding the city died and thousands were injured. When night fell and Xie Zhiyun came to the garrison camp, he saw such a tragic scene.

She tried not to shed tears, and together with Ji Xiuxiu, Wei Ningshu and even Wei Ning'an bandaged the soldiers' wounds, several ladies from the general's family and the proprietresses of the pharmacy also came.

But even this is not enough manpower.

They worked all night, but what they waited for the next morning was not dawn, but a new round of war.

After going through this for three or four days, Zhou Chenglin finally couldn't sit still, and led five thousand cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy. Because of his decisive killing and fierce attack, this time it was rare to deter the North Vietnamese army.

Although Wei Yao who followed the expedition was injured, the final result was not bad.

The North Vietnamese army temporarily recuperated and did not continue to attack the city.

Taking advantage of this time, Xie Zhijun once again summoned the people to the state pastoral mansion.

Her hair was only tied in a bun, and she was wearing a thick cloak, but it was stained with a lot of blood, and she didn't look as clean and tidy as before.

But her hands and face are clean, especially those eyes, which are still clear and bright, people can't help but follow her gaze and listen to every word she says.

Xie Zhiyun looked at the crowd and said, "Many soldiers were injured in the defense of the city every day. Although the city has prepared medicines in advance, if they continue to consume like this, there will be a day when they will run out."

When speaking to the people, she has always been very straightforward, saying one thing and saying the other, so that the people can understand.

"We need people who can help soldiers bandage wounds, and people who can help learn how to make medicinal materials."

"Those who are willing to work can take care of three meals a day, but I don't guarantee that the barracks will be safe."

Xie Zhiyun paused after saying this, and looked at the people who looked up at her.

She took half a step back, bowed deeply, and her tone was very sincere.

"Here, thank you all in advance."

In such moments of survival, the simplest truth is to work together.

Everyone performs their duties and do what they can, so that everyone can be protected to the greatest extent.

Before Xie Zhiyun had time to straighten her waist, she heard a young girl's voice below: "I can bandage."

Immediately afterwards, a young man shouted, "I can go and process medicinal materials."

Xie Zhiyun didn't straighten up, she said: "Thank you everyone."

This time, many people were recruited. Dr. Li and the old genius doctor picked and selected more than [-] girls with ingenuity and ingenuity to be doctors, and temporarily learned to bandage wounds.

The rest of the people are doing military rations, collecting firewood, concocting medicinal materials, and repairing the city walls at night.

The whole Yezhou became orderly at once.

Even the people who didn't come to help stayed at home obediently, and no one made trouble.

Frightened by Zhou Chenglin, the North Vietnamese Army was indeed honest for a few days, but only three to five days later, the North Vietnamese Army started a new round of siege.

Xie Zhiyun was helping in the camp that day, when he heard General Zhou's invitation, he went to the city wall with Cui Ji, Ji Xiuxiu and others.

On the city wall, the cleanliness before the war has long since disappeared.

The current city wall is full of discarded weapons, and besides that, there are mottled blood all over the ground.

The teeth and walls of the city wall are mottled and broken, which are the marks of being hit by Jian Yu, and there is no way to repair it.

Seeing such devastation, Xie Zhiyun's expression remained unchanged. She came to the gate tower and looked at Zhou Chenglin, whose hair was already grey.

The defense of the city for just half a month seemed to have consumed his lifespan, making him look older and more tired.

Wei Yao was also on the city wall. He had just retreated from the front line, and while wiping the blood on his cheeks, he walked quickly.

Zhou Chenglin looked at several people, and he sighed.

"The weather is getting colder and the soldiers are almost all injured. Under such circumstances, it is getting more and more difficult to defend the city."

"And according to the report from the scouts, the Sima family has increased their troops."

The original number was 3, and later 1 people were transferred, which was more than the defenders of Yezhou City, but it seemed that Sima Ling was in a hurry after being unable to attack for half a month.

"How many people?" Xie Zhiyun asked.

"3 people." Zhou Chenglin tightly closed his eyes.

For a while, no one in the tower spoke.

Xie Zhijun clenched her fists tightly, she took a deep breath, and said, "Let me think about it, we can't keep stalemate with them like this."

"Defending the city is a war of attrition, and we can't afford it."

Yes, because the border is still fighting, and the military supplies of the Wei Family Army are provided by themselves. If this continues, they will run out of oil and lamps sooner or later, and they will be unable to support anything.

In this siege battle, the North Vietnamese army showed ambition and ferocity that cannot be ignored. They didn't want any face. Now they don't even have slogans or excuses, and they attack every day.

Batch after batch of soldiers took turns to go into battle, and even the hardened ones couldn't stand it.

This was even more violent than they had expected. Xie Zhiyun looked at Zhou Chenglin with a tired face: "Old general, if they add 3 people, then we..."

"How long can it last?"

"Probably less than three months of support."

The soldiers were exhausted, the men and horses were exhausted, and the city walls were scarred.

During this period, Zhou Chenglin led the Vanguard Battalion out of the city to attack twice, but the difference in the number of people was huge, and the results were minimal.Even if the opponent's soldiers are unfamiliar, the number is enough to crush them.

Xie Zhiyun said in a low voice: "Old General, we must hold on."

She turned her head and looked at Cui Ji: "Mother, we have to find a way, we can't go on like this."

Cui Ji froze for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Okay."

Xie Zhiyun's lips were already chapped and peeled, but she didn't care about these, she looked at Zhou Chenglin: "Old General, if you hold on a little longer, I will find a way."

"There is no unparalleled road, and we will not admit defeat to those who have no faith or virtue."

Zhou Chenglin took a deep look at her and said in a deep voice, "Okay!"
