Chapter 720 Madam, we will guard!

Chapter 721 Madam, we will guard!

There were fewer bonfires on the tower than before, as if to indicate what might happen next.

Sheng Xi took the telescope given to him by Shen Anhe and looked into the distance. He only saw a little bit of bonfire shaking, and the number seemed to have increased.Shen Anhe said that she reported good news but not good results. She also knew that the other party was smart and could not hide many things.But in fact, in the letter she wrote to him, she didn't really confess everything. There was a greater danger hidden behind it, and she just hoped that he would be less worried.

She put away the telescope and looked at the boundless night ahead. The cold and silent air of the winter night was mixed with dry sharpness, stimulating every inch of human skin.

Suddenly there were footsteps behind him, and it was Xin Ru walking over.

"Girl." Xinru shouted.

Sheng Xi turned to look at her and said, "Doctor Cao and the others have hidden themselves?"

Xin Ru nodded: "Hidden, those who can't stand up have been hidden."

Sheng Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard her words: "What about those who can stand up?"

Xin Ru smiled helplessly and replied: "The slaves who were less seriously injured tried to persuade them, but they refused to listen. They insisted on participating in the battle and said that they could not give up all the military merits to others."

"Where are they?" Sheng Xi asked.

Xin Ru replied: "Just under the tower."

Sheng Xi lowered her eyes slightly, and after a moment said, "Let's go and have a look." With that, she took the lead and walked down.

And just as Xin Ru said, as soon as Sheng Xi went in, she saw a group of people blocking the city gate, mumbling something.Wang Xiao was persuading him with dancing gestures. Under the light of the fire, his expression looked quite helpless.

When Sheng Xi walked down, he only heard him say: "Brothers, I know you want revenge and go to the battlefield, but we have to act according to our ability! When you are healed, won't we fight those Tatars against one out of three? Don't worry about this battle, there are many battles waiting for us in the future, you will always go up! You are our reserve force, we are counting on you in the future!"

What he said made sense. If it had been in the past, everyone would have listened.But now is not the past. Although they were injured, they were not blind or deaf. They were not unaware of the situation they were facing now.When life and death are at stake, it has nothing to do with letting them hide. How is this behavior different from deserting!Even if they die together with those Tatars!It’s no secret that they once wore this military uniform!
So someone said: "Okay, stop being verbose! Although we are injured, this injury is nothing! It's not like we can't move! Stop inking and quickly arrange tasks for us, even if we are just standing here. Blocking the city gate will do the trick!"

"That's right, that's right, hurry up and arrange tasks for us!" Everyone shouted one after another, and the sound was so loud that they didn't look like they were hurt at all.

But Wang Xiao is not stupid, so how could he not know that they did this on purpose.When he was extremely helpless, he saw a figure from the corner of his eye, turned his head suddenly, looked over, and shouted: "Madam!"

The shouting "Madam" made the crowd who were still shouting suddenly quiet down. Everyone followed Wang Xiao's line of sight and saw Sheng Xi walking down from the tower.

"Yeah." Sheng Xi responded, scanning the crowd without saying anything.

Everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks at her sight, feeling inexplicably guilty.Looking at Xin Ru who was following him, they knew that their "unreasonable" behavior was known to others.

They thought Sheng Xi would be like Wang Xiao and persuade them to go back and hide. After all, that was what Xin Ru said before.Xinru is Sheng Xi's maid, so the other person must have told her what she said.

They also know that the other party is doing this for them, but they know that people have their own balance in their hearts.Usually for myself, but when it comes to the justice of the family and the country, no one wants to be a coward, especially since they are soldiers, especially when they are protected by a woman.

They didn't say a word, and they didn't dare to say anything. They all looked down at their feet, as if their arrogance against Wang Xiao just now was extinguished.And just when they thought this, Sheng Xi suddenly spoke.She asked: "Do you really want to go to the front line?"

Everyone raised their heads and looked at her with burning eyes.Although they knew that Sheng Xi might also persuade them, they still said firmly: "Yes, madam! We also want to do our part!"

"Okay." Sheng Xi nodded lightly.

"Madam, we... huh?" Everyone was stunned, and their eyes widened when they realized what Sheng Xi was talking about.

"Madam, you, you just said..."

"You can go to the front line." Sheng Xi said.Her words almost made everyone smile, but before they could grin, Sheng Xi said again: "However, the location needs to be subject to my arrangements."

Someone boldly asked: "Madam, where will you place us?" Is it on the tower?Or the city gate?

Unfortunately, it’s nowhere.

Sheng Xi pointed behind them and said, "That street, take that street as the boundary, help me guard it!"

"What?" Everyone turned around, followed what Sheng Xi pointed at, and saw the street she mentioned at a glance.

One of them blurted out subconsciously: "But madam, isn't this still the rear? We are still not on the front line!"

Sheng Xi did not answer his question, but just asked him: "Do you think, with a city gate like Yin County, we can guarantee that all Tatar soldiers will not come in?" After a pause, she said, "We can actually fight now. There are less than 7000 people there. On the other side, there are [-] Tatar soldiers."

The man was speechless when asked, and even a fool could see it from such a comparison.It is not possible to really defend the city with the defense equipment.Five hundred versus seven thousand, there was a huge difference in terms of physical strength.

What's more, whether the city gates or walls are so dilapidated, they can't stand it anymore.

Sheng Xi raised his lips slightly and said, "So, you also think they will attack, right?"

"Ma'am, that's not what we meant, we..."

Sheng Xi waved his hand: "No need to mind. Although we will try our best to prevent the other party from attacking the city, we must also prepare for the city gate to be breached. The probability is very high and cannot be ignored. Although we mobilize the people to protect themselves, they are not as good as us after all. Those with experience are mostly old, weak, women and children. So," Sheng Xi suddenly looked directly at everyone, and his tone became serious and solemn, "I hope you can help us hold on to this last line, so that we can have no worries during the battle. !”

After hearing this, everyone was stunned and looked at Sheng Xi blankly.

This was the first time they heard such words. There was no concealment or exaggeration. They just said everything they had considered. It gave them a clear and intuitive understanding of the current battle situation, but it also calmed their originally restless hearts. Come down.

They couldn't help but look at that street again. That street was the only passage leading to the inner city. Behind that street were thousands of people in Yin County.They were defenseless, but they had all hope.And isn't what they are fighting for right now just to protect them?Madam said that she wanted them to help her hold the last line so that those colleagues could have nothing to worry about.Yes, this is the best thing they can do at the moment. They have to help them guard this street. Even if the Tatars rush in, they can continue to fight wantonly on the city wall, because they will help them. Guard your back!

Everyone looked at each other, and almost at that moment they understood their respective intentions, so they said to Sheng Xi in unison: "Madam, we will guard!"
