The river was gurgling to the northeast, and several wooden boats came from the water. Because the wind was north wind at this time, the sails were not raised, but there were long oars shaking at the stern of the boat. Seeing that the ship was about to approach Fengkou City, the soldiers on the top of the city became nervous.

The Chenjun Fortress in the upper reaches of the Fengshui River was attacked by the Zhou army yesterday. The crew members of the ships coming from there must be Zhou soldiers. The defenders were all guessing whether there was a Zhou general taking a boat to observe the defense of Fengshu City?

This is very likely. The river is located in the southeast of Fengkou City, and its river is very close to the city, especially in the southeast corner of the city. The river flows through not far from the corner of the city wall. If a boat sails on this section of the river, you can observe the city defense situation at close range.

"You guys say, will there be General Zhou Jun on the ship?"

"Why, let's rush out and stop the warship?"

A soldier suddenly had an idea and made a very tempting guess. If there was really a general of the Zhou army on the ship and his side shot him to death at random, it would be a great achievement.

However, the other soldiers did not have any expression of heartache after hearing this. If this proposal was changed a few days ago, many people might have been eager to try it, but now everyone is scared and dare not go out of the city to fight with Zhou soldiers.

The Zhou army attacked Caishan one day, defeated Jiangzhou naval forces one day, captured Sangluozhou. No matter it was raining, they attacked Xunyang Village in the west of Bagongkou City one day, and then attacked Bagongkou City one day, and then attacked Bagongkou City one day, and the fortress on the edge of the Fengshui River. The officials who attacked reinforcements suffered heavy casualties. The Chen army soldiers were scared and no one dared to say that they would go out of the city to fight.

The soldiers under the one-legged bronze man are the evil ghosts that emerge from the underworld, and they can fight on rainy days. If it is sunny today, aren’t we just looking for death when we go out of the city?

Facing the ships getting closer and closer, no one had the courage to go out of the city to fight. Now that the Zhou army is at the city, the city of Fengkou will not last long. If he killed General Zhou, if the one-legged bronze man wants to settle the score after the city is broken, he will really be killed in his whole family!

The city of Fengkou could not be defended, and more than one person had this idea. The cruel record that the Zhou army would win every battle was there. Yesterday, the Zhou army shot a letter into the city. It is said that in addition to persuading surrender, the letter also had the seal of the prefect of Xin Cai.

What does this mean? Jiangbei Xincai is also finished!

When the Zhou army attacked and defeated Cai Shan, Xin Cai was still in the hands of Chen State. As a result, the main force of the navy advanced eastward before the opponent attacked and defeated Xin Cai, which showed that Xin Cai, who had a strict defense, was nothing to them.

Xin Cai was indeed finished within a few days, which is in sharp contrast to the statement that before the government war, "Xin Cai is as solid as a sacred person, and there is no problem with defending for more than last month." Xin Cai fell, and the Zhou army's flanks were no longer threatening. Is the Shukou far away from the city breaking?

As long as you are not a fool, no one will risk his life to attack for rewards. Even if you make meritorious service, you will not be able to escape the revenge of the one-legged bronze man.

Who is the one-legged bronze man? Who else can there be? The general manager of the Huangzhou State of Zhou, and the commander of the Zhou army, Yu Wen, who is now at the city!

The atmosphere on the city wall began to become depressing, and the soldiers were just ready to shoot archery. No one mentioned the topic of going out to the city to fight for it. Making meritorious service is no longer attractive to everyone, and even the focus of concern is how to save their lives and their families after the city is broken.

On the water, the ships were getting closer and closer, and the soldiers on the city wall began to bend their bows and arrows. At this moment, they saw the situation on the ship and then started to make noise.

"It's...it's my own people!"

"Don't shoot arrows, it's your own people!"

The people on the boat were the Chen State defenders of the upstream fortress. Many soldiers in the city were familiar with each other and could recognize each other. After seeing the ship docking, the guard general ordered people to put down the ropes and hanging baskets to let these people enter the city.

It is impossible not to let defeated soldiers enter the city. Although they have been defeated, they have contributed to the country at least. If they are just kept out of the door, they will be disappointed.

It is not okay to open the city gate and let people in. If there are Zhou soldiers mixed in, the city gate will be ruined. Therefore, they can only let the other party sit in a hanging basket and enter the city after identification. After identification, they are all their own people.

There were many hanging baskets, and these defeated soldiers quickly got on the top of the city. After identification and screening, they were sure that they were all defenders of the upstream fortress. Now they were covered in blood on their bodies, their eyes were dull, and they sat on the ground, as if they had been frightened, and even shivered.

The soldiers surrounded him and asked in a verbal manner: "How did you come back?"

"Didn't Beilu kill you?"

"How is the fortress?"

“Are there anyone else alive?”

The defeated soldiers replied dejectedly that after the Zhou army conquered the fortress, they asked them to clean the battlefield, dig pits and bury the bodies, and then let them come back to pass the message.

Seeing this, the generals on the side thought that something was wrong. He was afraid that the defeated soldiers would affect the morale of the defenders, so he quickly shouted loudly and ordered people to take the defeated soldiers away. At this moment, the soldiers refused to give in:

"Let them say it, let them finish their words!"

The general was angry and invaded, so the general made a concession. A defeated soldier mustered up the courage and said to his comrades: "Bei Lu...Bei Lu said that he would not surrender and not kill him, and he would defend him..."

"What will happen to the custody?"

"You should tell me quickly!"

The defeated soldier looked at his companions around him, and then said, "The Northern Lu said... to surrender and not kill, and to defend... to slaughter the city."

"ah!"

Everyone was upset when they heard this. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the general looked pale: It is said that the one-legged bronze man is very cruel, and he must be able to say it!

The defenders of the Fengkou, many soldiers' families were in the city. Seeing that there was little hope of defending the Fengkou City, everyone was most worried about the safety of their family after the city was destroyed. Now that the other party has spoken, what should we do next?

Now it is raining after sunshine, and the sun shines on your body, but you don’t feel any warmth. The soldiers are thinking about the words "Surrender and not kill, but slaughter the city if you defend", and their morale is getting worse.

"Bei Lu, it's Bei Lu that is here!"

The shouts sounded, and many people were trembling like a bolt from the blue. The soldiers rushed to the female wall and looked outside the city in fear.

A large number of Zhou army cavalry whizzed by the water outside the city, shooting arrows with paper tied to the city from time to time. Although the range of killing bows during combat was only more than fifty steps, if they were only shot in the killing, the arrows they shot could still shoot farther.

Many arrows shot up the city, and the generals tried hard to stop the soldiers from dismantling the paper tied to the arrows, but the shouts of soldiers outside the city made their behavior a cover-up:

"Surrender and not kill! The family is safe!"

"If you refuse to surrender, your whole family will die!!"

Not only in the south of the city, but also in the west of the city, there were Zhou cavalry shouting to the top of the city. Even on the north side of the city, there were Zhou warships trying to get close to the shore as close as possible, and the soldiers on the ship shouted the same words.

"Shoot!Shoot!!"

The west of Fengkou City, Jiangzhou Governor, and Yongjia King Chen Yan roared and asked the defenders to fire arrows to disperse the Zhou cavalry galloping outside the city. Looking at the soldiers around him with flashing eyes, his thoughts were in chaos.

The enemy troops were at the city and were in danger. All this was not a nightmare but had turned into reality. He devoted all his efforts to organize the defense line and was easily broken through by the Zhou army.

What to do, what to do? If Fengkou is lost, Jiangzhou will be over...

"Sima Huang, send people to supervise the war immediately! No rumors are allowed to spread, and no one is allowed to surrender!"

"Yes, the subordinates will receive the order."
