Wang Hanting and the others were unable to get the news while leading their troops, so they could only rely on scouts holding binoculars in front of them to check.

After seeing Liu Jianxing retreating with a large number of troops, they went into battle lightly and took a detour north from Xuzhou.

Huaixi Fucheng.

"Everyone, hold on! The news of the rescue has been sent back, and reinforcements will come to help soon! Everyone, hold on for a while!" Chang Wencheng said in a tearful voice with his eyes red.

"kill!"

The stone strips of the city wall have been stained brown by blood, and the armor on Chang Wencheng's body has also been stained red by blood, and some flesh and blood can be vaguely seen adhering to it.

He looked tired, but his eyes were bright and full of determination.

Hongyuan City sent people to attack Huaixi Mansion, but Chang Wencheng used a bed crossbow to shoot to death the opponent's general in the camp, buying them five days. The opponent quickly changed their commander and sent another person to continue leading the army. Siege the city.

The bed crossbow has been known to the other party, and they have retreated outside the shooting range of the bed crossbow, making it difficult for them to make a sneak attack.

Even with the help of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Arrows, the arrows will always run out.

"General Shao, their arrows should have been used up. In the past few days, they have waited until we were fifty steps closer to the city wall before starting to attack. It seems that they want to save some. As long as we persist, we can defeat Huaihe in half a month." Take Xifu City down."

Behind the military formation, Shao Tiancheng, who had been replaced, listened to his subordinates' report and smiled slightly.

"If Chang Yuan were to guard the city gate in person, I might still be wary of him, but he is just an ignorant boy. I only promoted him for half a month, ten days." He put away his smile and looked at the soldiers fighting in front of him with a determined expression. , "This general can capture Huaixi Fucheng in ten days."

The subordinates all complimented him, "Yes, if General Shao takes action, he will definitely be able to capture him! Luo Xueguang has been injured and is in a coma, and Chang Wencheng is a young boy. If he can defend the city by himself, he will definitely not be a match for General Shao."

"After we capture Huaixi Fucheng, General Chang Wencheng will live. I want to see if Chang Wencheng can get Palm Thunder in exchange."

"Pass my order, withdraw the troops with gold, and let the people under my command have a good meal. Starting at midnight, we will be tired day and night!"

"Yes!"

city ​​wall.

Watching the enemy troops gradually withdraw, Chang Wencheng supported his body with a knife, hiding his trembling right foot.

"The enemy troops have temporarily withdrawn. Let's hurry up and make food. We don't know when they will come and kill us. We must be vigilant. The people in the city are all our wives, children and children, so we must be extremely careful."

The soldier came over and persuaded: "Young general, please go down and have a rest. You haven't slept for three days."

Chang Wencheng supported himself with a knife and shook his head, "There are still many things waiting for me to deal with. General Luo is still seriously injured and unconscious, so I can't rest."

The soldier sighed, "But what if you keep enduring like this and you collapse? You can rest for an hour or two. You are busy guarding the city during the day, and you have to deal with various things at night, and you still have to find time to go Look at General Luo, he has to patrol and inspect everywhere again, this person is not a tough guy, if you continue like this, how will I explain to the general?"

Chang Wencheng forced a smile, "If Huaixi Fucheng is lost, I can't explain it to the general. Now that General Luo is seriously injured, and other old generals have also died in the battle, no one can gather everyone except me."

The soldiers sighed and didn't say anything. What Chang Wencheng said was indeed true. This battle to defend the city was very difficult. Although they were fully prepared, the enemy was not afraid of death. No, it should be said that it was Many refugees and civilians were driven forward to attack the city.

No matter how they couldn't bear it, they had no choice but to take action. There were a lot of people, and they lost a lot of arrows and weapons to defend the city. But the other party actually didn't suffer much loss, because most of the people who came to attack the city were unarmed people.When their defense weapons were almost exhausted, the other side began to officially attack. After the incident of the bed crossbow shooting, Shao Tiancheng was very vigilant. The camp was set up outside the range of the bed crossbow. Even the leader of the command hid far away. Yes, try to avoid their bed crossbow attacks, and never set foot on the front easily,

Although the bed crossbow has a strong shooting range and penetrating power, it only kills a dozen soldiers on the battlefield and cannot stop other soldiers.

They rushed forward as if they didn't care about their lives. The people in front fell down, and the people behind stepped on the corpses in front and climbed to the city wall. Several people climbed up several times, but fortunately, they were almost killed by them in the end. Defended again.

In every battle to defend the city, Chang Wen Chengdu took the lead. He had been fighting here for two or three years and had already won the respect of the soldiers below. Now he took the lead and stood on the front line to defend the city with the soldiers at the bottom. After several generals fell one after another, he was the backbone of everyone.

Most things in the city depend on him. They have to face not only the enemy's attack, but also the people in the city.

Chang Wencheng checked around, took the paste handed over by his own soldiers, took a look at it and asked, "Does everyone eat the same thing?"

The soldier nodded, "According to your instructions, the wounded soldiers will eat a little meat, and the others will eat the same food, but it will be a little oily."

Chang Wencheng then calmly took a sip and drank it, then took the dry biscuit next to him and chewed it.

He wiped his mouth and handed the bowl back.

"Fortunately, there is still enough food in the city, but the meat is indeed running out, but no matter what, we must keep a close eye on the wounded." Chang Wencheng ordered.

The soldier nodded: "Don't worry, little general, my subordinates will keep an eye on it personally."

Chang Wencheng continued to walk on the city wall. Any soldier who saw him would stop him if he wanted to stand up and say hello.

After inspecting the city wall and inspecting the repair works, Chang Wencheng said: "Let's go and see General Luo."

The two talked while walking.

"By the way, are there still people fleeing in the city?"

The soldier shook his head, "Ever since Shao Tiancheng said he wanted to massacre the city, there have been no more people escaping. The surrounding areas are tightly surrounded by them, and running out is a dead end."

"Shao Tiancheng actually helped us. He pushed all the people to our side and made them decide to defend the city together."

Chang Wencheng said: "That's good."

Arrive at General Luo's residence.

Just when he saw the military doctor coming out, Chang Wencheng grabbed him.

"How is General Luo's injury?"

The military doctor first bowed his hands and replied: "General Luo's bleeding has stopped. After using the general's alcohol, the wound is no longer inflamed. It's just that he is old. The wound from the chest to the abdomen has damaged the root. Take a good rest for a while, I think you’ll wake up in a few days.”

Chang Wencheng breathed a long sigh of relief. After letting people go down, he walked straight to General Luo's room. He saw that General Luo's face was pale, but his breathing was still steady. Only the long cloth on his chest was stained. Red, a bit dazzling.
