Three Kingdoms: defect to Liu Bei and backhand intercept Mrs. Hu Mi

Chapter 169: Deadly advice?

"woooooo"

The golden horn sounded.

The Xuzhou soldiers who were fighting for the offensive retreated one after another, acting quickly and without any delay.

Like a tidal wave, when attacking, it is like a stormy wave crashing on the shore, but when retreating, it moistens things silently.

On the city wall, the guards cheered and shouted to the sky.

But Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun knew that neither last night's provocation nor today's example would last long.

In other words, it's okay to use it once, but it's definitely useless to use it twice more.

But Lin Fan's offensive and defensive drills outside the city continued like a torrent of water.

In ten days, when the whole army is exhausted, what should we do?

"I would like to advise the lord to go into battle in person. Only in this way can we ensure that all the soldiers are killed."

"Otherwise, at most half a month, or even less, the city wall will be breached."

Yan Xiang said with determination in his eyes.

Zhang Xun was silent for a moment and nodded heavily: "I'll go too!"

"If my lord does not agree, I am willing to die to remonstrate."

Yan Xiang looked at the retreating Xuzhou soldiers outside the city and slowly shook his head: "General, you must not leave the city wall for a day, and you must not relax for a day. No one knows whether the next attack will be like this one."

Zhang Xun sighed quietly and nodded slowly.

For the next six days, there would be a violent attack every day.

This attack is either the first wave in the morning or the last wave in the evening. In short, there will always be an attack launched when the defenders cannot imagine it.

Initially, under the accumulation of countless supplies, the archers made repeated designs and blocked the attacks of many Xuzhou soldiers.

But with the consumption of arrows, rolling logs, rolling stones, and kerosene, coupled with day and night harassment, the morale of the defenders was low.

Even if the bounty was actually offered, it still failed to inspire the morale of the defenders.

When the last ray of sunset disappeared from the horizon, the guards on the city wall let out a long sigh of relief.

They knew they had one more day to live.

But the sun will still rise tomorrow. How long can they last with this torturous attack?

ten days?

half moon?

On the city wall, Zhang Xun's eyes were blurred as he fought against the wind. He was also full of confusion about the future.

Before Lin Fan attacked the city, he was confident that he could defend Shouchun for half a year or a year. He wanted Lin Fan to know that Huainan could not be bullied.

But after seven or eight days, it became more and more difficult, and the feeling that every day seemed like a year made him despair.

If he is like this, what about the soldiers on the wall?
I'm afraid I might have the same idea.

"Brother Yan, how long do you think we can keep guard?"

Yan Xiang looked at the brightly lit Xuzhou camp: "To be honest, I don't know."

Zhang Xun was not surprised by this sentence. In the entire city wall, and even in Shouchun, only the two of them could tell the truth when they were alone.

"Brother Yan, what did the lord say?"

"If he doesn't come back, all morale will collapse."

"The wall may fall down at once."

Yan Xiang thought of the scene when he persuaded Yuan Shu a few days ago, and said bitterly: "My lord does not believe it."

"He feels that Shouchun City is impregnable. If we can't hold it, we will have our heads taken off."

"I go to see the lord every other day, but the lord has been reluctant to see me these past two days."

"therefore."

Zhang Xun sighed: "The Lord should be aware of the losses on the city wall. Doesn't he know the number of our daily casualties?"

"Is he really not afraid of the city wall being breached?"

"By the time the city is broken, our heads will be gone, so why should he behead us?"

Yan Xiang shook his head bitterly: "My lord has been obsessed with the scene where Shouchun City is impregnable and Lin Fan cannot break it no matter what."

"No matter how dangerous I say, he always feels that the loss of the city wall is acceptable." "But he doesn't know that a defeat is like a mountain. When the fighting spirit of the soldiers is destroyed by the enemy, no matter how many people there are, they are just meat on the ground."

"I have no way to stop Lin Fan's attack on the fighting will of the defenders on the city wall, and I can't think of any way to deal with it."

"The day before yesterday, half of us rested and half defended. As a result, the city was almost defeated."

"What should we do tomorrow?"

A flash of determination flashed in Zhang Xun's eyes: "Let's go see the lord!"

"No matter what, he will be on the city wall tomorrow."

"It was only when he appeared that the soldiers were willing to fight to the death."

"He was living and drinking and sensual in the back. How could the soldiers be willing to fight to the death?"

Yan Xiang was moved, but still hesitated: "What about the city wall?"

Zhang Xun said: "An attack in the dark will lead to a dead end. I don't believe they dare to take risks."

"We can't delay it any longer, because I really don't know how much fighting spirit the soldiers still have."

"Last night, some people took advantage of the darkness and ran into the alleys to hide, unwilling to fight."

"If you continue, it will affect the morale of the military."

"Walk!!"

Yan Xiang gritted his teeth and said.

General's Mansion, in the main hall.

The sound of singing and dancing birds floats in the sky.

"Get out, get out quickly!!"

The sudden sound shocked the dancing singers.

But when they saw a general covered in blood standing at the door, holding a big knife in his hand, with murderous intent on his face, everyone turned pale and ran outside.

Yuan Shu, who was sitting in the main seat, was startled by this scene. He jumped up quickly and shouted sternly: "Come here, take down this madman."

"Zhang Xun, Yan Xiang has met the lord!"

The man at the door knelt on the ground and bowed. With Yan Xiang's appearance, Yuan Shu finally understood who had come in.

His brows were furrowed, and a flash of displeasure flashed across his face: "Zhang Xun, you are so brave!"

"Do you know where this place is? Can you tolerate your arrogance?"

"If I hadn't seen you doing your job in defending the city, I would have taken off your head right now."

"Get off!!"

Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun knelt on the ground without moving at all: "Master, if you want to kill us, you can do it, but sooner or later you will die in Shouchun City, it doesn't matter whose hands you die in."

Yuan Shu glared coldly: "Are you really looking for death?"

"Come on."

Several soldiers quickly entered the hall and looked at Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun who were kneeling on the ground, with hesitation on their faces.

Everyone understands that these two people are now the white jade pillars of Shouchun City. Without their support, how could Shouchun City be able to defend it.

If we kill them today, who will defend the city tomorrow?
Yuan Shu naturally understood this truth, and his harsh words were actually waiting for the two of them to admit their mistakes.

But several guards wanted to drag them down, and neither of them even said a word of softening.

This made Yuan Shu extremely angry.

He had never been so contradicted by his subordinates before, and his eyes burned with anger.

"Are you really looking for death?"

Yan Xiang said sternly: "We will take the first step to avoid seeing our lord die at Xiaoxiao's hands."

"The Shouchun city wall is in danger. If the lord does not appear again to boost morale, the city cannot be defended at all."

"My lord doesn't listen to good advice, so we can only die to advise him."

"In this way, I will not let down my lord's kindness."

"Master, please take action, we will never cry out for injustice!"
