At Hulao Pass, the Liang army was ready for battle. In the distance, the Tang army was in a strong formation.

Is another attack about to begin?

This time, I didn’t see the dense catapults, nor did I see the heart-pounding crossbows and the dense crossbow soldiers.

What new tricks does Tang Jun want to play?

Over the past month, classic siege and defense cases have been staged under Hulao Pass, which can be recorded in the history of military affairs. The attackers are renovated in various ways, and the defenders are still as stable as a mountain.

After each attack is completed, both sides will tacitly send corpse collectors to recover the bodies of soldiers who died in battle on their own side. In fact, most of the people who died under the city were Tang army, and only a few people who fell to the city. Most of their casualties were on the city wall.

But Xu Fu agreed to Tang Jun's behavior. After all, the weather is still very hot now. So many corpses piled under the city are not a good thing for the people in the city.

However, every time the Tang army collects the body, Liang Jun will feel shocked. They will carefully search the body. Once they find someone who is still alive, they will immediately cheer, and then people wearing white clothes and carrying medicine boxes will come to the spot for treatment, bandage, and then carry them away.

Each corpse will be covered with a bag. Those who have incomplete corpses will do their best to find other parts of their bodies and then put them in the same bag.

Liang Jun basically had one method to treat the injured, that is, another blow.

For them, the injured are much more troublesome than the dead. In the army, there have always been a final strike team. In the eyes of Liang Jun, this is a normal state. What the Tang Jun did makes them extremely uncomfortable.

"What does Tang Jun want to do?" An officer looked at the city and spoke in surprise.

The Tang army broke up and drove out more than a dozen carriages. There were rows of large shield soldiers in front, back and left and right, and the carriages were all elderly, weak, women and children sitting on the carriages.

The officer looked at the people and a little uneasiness quietly emerged in his heart.

The carriages actually drove into the range of the feathered arrows on the city in a pride.

A shrill shout sounded under the city.

"Big Zhuzi, where are you? Your father is no longer able to do it, he only breathes. He insists on not leaving, and just wants to see you again!" A thin old woman stretched out her hands in the carriage and shouted shrillly: "Go home with mom, look at your father for the last time, don't let him suffer this!"

Liang Jun was in an uproar in an instant in the city.

"Dalang, Dalang, your son is three years old. If you can run away, he just doesn't have any father's love. He always asks people to bully him in the village. No more wars, let's go home!"

"Dad, Dad, I am the third aunt. My mother has remarried, my grandfather is gone, and my mother-in-law is sick. Go home! I'm scared!"

Under the city, the old man screams and the children crying heartbreaking.

The Huzhu is closed, and there is a silence like death.

Who has no parents?

Who has no children?

Although these people under the city are not their parents or their children, An Zhi is still in his hometown and doesn’t look like the people under the city?

"Mom, mom, I am the big pillar." In the midst of silence, a man who looked like a captain suddenly ran up from the city like crazy, pushed away the soldiers on the top of the city with force, and clenched his hands on the plate. Looking at the city, he burst into tears: "Mom, I'm here!"

"Dazhu, I'm my mother!" The old woman in the carriage jumped out of the carriage with her disproportionate agility and wanted to run forward, but was pulled by Tang Jun beside her and fell to the ground, but she still reached forward with one hand and raised her head with all her might.

The city officer was furious and said, "Take Sun Zhu down, be a traitor, shake the morale of the army, and be punished!"

The order was issued, but the soldiers around you looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one came forward to take action.

With a "choke", the officer pulled his sword out of the sheath, "Do you want to disobey the military order?"

Several personal soldiers rushed up and pressed Sun Zhu to the ground and dragged him back.

"Shoot the arrows, shoot them! Shoot them to death!" The officer slashed heavily on the plate and shouted.

The bow and arrow were raised, but no arrow shot out.

"Shoot the arrow!" The officer was furious and snatched the middle long bow of a soldier beside him, bent his bow and shot the old woman with one arrow.

Under the city, two Tang soldiers held shields and suddenly closed them. With a sound, the feather arrow fell on the shield and fell to the ground in depressed manner.

"If you shoot arrows and disobey military orders, kill Wuhe!" The officer pulled out his longbow again.

With a buzzing sound, countless feather arrows shot out of the city, but most of them were shot at more than ten steps in front of the carriages. Although a few shots were shot directly, they could not achieve success under the blocking of the large shield.

The sound of golden gongs sounded in the Tang army formation, hundreds of shields suddenly closed, protecting more than ten carriages and slowly retreated.

Under the cover of the shield, the figures of the elderly, weak, women, children and children were no longer visible, but the crying still echoed up and down the city.

The officer's face turned ashen and his eyes were like a knife, but the soldiers were holding bows and arrows in their hands, looking at the Tang army that quickly retreated. Some of them were trembling slightly, as if the person escorted away by the Tang army was like their relatives.

The Tang army did not attack. After finishing this, they seemed to have completed today's mission. The front team turned into the back team, and they left like a tide.

Because the head has been buried, it naturally takes time to ferment. Now the attack has left these Liang troops without any room for thinking and can only resist based on instinct.

After all, when a knife is placed on the neck, people have no time to think about other things.

But if you are idle, it will be different.

Negative emotions such as fear, worry, cowardice, etc. are basically the products of thinking after thinking. Under passion, people can do everything. If they think too much, they will naturally look forward to the front and fear wolves and tigers.

"General, what should I do?" A group of generals gathered in front of Xu Fu, their faces bitter.

"That Sun Zhu, did you kill him?"

"Not yet! It's tied to the top of the city! The soldiers' emotions are not right. I'm afraid of killing him and causing the soldiers to mutiny!" The officer on the top of the city said in a stern voice.

"You are right. If you really kill him at that time, things will be out of control." Xu Fu sighed.

"General, if this continues, our morale will completely collapse! Our core army is all Xuanwu people, but Xuanwu is now..." Another senior officer looked depressed. "General, there is no other way now. You either retreat or fight to the death with the enemy."

"Where to retreat, retreat again, Luoyang is behind you. If the Huzhu is not guarded, Luoyang will be unable to protect!" A veteran shook his head and sighed. "After retreating to Luoyang, retreat to Tongguan and then retreat to Chang'an?"

Xu Fu stood up and looked at everyone and said, "I can't retreat, prepare to go out of the city and fight to the decisive battle!"

“Morning now?”

"Kill all the livestock in the city, add food to the soldiers, disperse all the money in the treasury to the soldiers, plunder all the wine and drinks in the city, and share them with all the soldiers!" Xu Fu said: "After lunch, the whole army gathered up and down the city walls and prepared to go out of the city to fight to the decisive battle. You, go as far as I ask!"

"Abide by the order!" All the generals looked at each other, knowing that the general had decided to fight the enemy to the death. Although they knew that this path was not the best path, what other path could they go now?

As the sun gradually turned west, the Hulao Pass wall was already full of dense soldiers. They looked up at the familiar and strange person on the tower, and were all shocked.

The figure was short, but it was great in their minds.

That's Xu Fu.

A man from slave to general who is enough to be an icon of all military personnel.

Today, he did not wear an official uniform that looked like a majestic appearance, nor did he wear an armor that showed his bravery. He was standing on the city tower with his upper body naked and his chest exposed.

Above the knotted chest, there are scars everywhere, and there is no complete place in the body. It is the honor of soldiers and the silent show-off of men.

A black strap strangled over his forehead, tying the dispersed white hair.

At this moment, he stood at the highest point of the city tower with his legs spread apart, put his left hand on his hips, and held the huge mace with his right hand, and stood in front of tens of thousands of soldiers.

"Brothers, I am Xu Fu!" Xu Fu shouted loudly like a bell.

"The general is mighty!" Even though tens of thousands of soldiers were in a low mood, they still roared subconsciously after their long-term power.

"Xu Fu has been leading the way to today in every battle, charging forward and retreating behind!" Xu Fu shouted loudly: "Xu is from his own humbleness and knows the suffering of the soldiers. Since the day he is in power, he has never dared to eat soldiers' flesh or drink soldiers' blood. Xu asked himself about his life that although he is harsh to the enemy, he is pushing clothes and food to his brothers."

Liang Jun was silent.

Xu Fuzhi's deep reputation is not only because he is more powerful than ordinary people, but also because he is more sympathetic to the sufferings of soldiers.

"Today, we are in a desperate situation and have no fighting spirit." Xu Fu's voice echoed on the shut up and down, "Xu urges you to take advantage of me, Xu, to fight with Xu for a while, because I, Xu, have been doing good things in the past. Xu will still charge forward."

"Here!" There was a tsunami of response sounding like a tsunami.

"Xu dare not ask for anything else, but as long as Xu is not dead and Xu's banner has not yet fallen, every brother can follow Xu Fu's banner and keep moving forward."

"Here!"

"Thank you brothers!" On the city tower, Xu Fu knelt on one knee and bowed his head as a greeting.

"I wish to fight to the death for the general!" In the city, the roars rose higher and higher.

Under the city, Xu Yuan and Li Ze held a monocular lens in his hand and looked towards Hulaoguan. The short-sized old man holding a mace seemed so clear. Although he couldn't hear what he was saying, he could only look at the excited expressions of the soldiers in the city. Li Ze couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Sure enough, there is still a hard battle today!"
