Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Wei Yan nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "How many soldiers and horses do you have?"

A lieutenant general responded, "More than two thousand and five hundred."

Wei Yanlue pondered for a while, and ordered: "You will divide up one thousand troops and go to Ximen in the name of reinforcements to help General Huang capture Ximen, and then follow General Huang's orders to act."

"Surround Yuan Shu's mansion with another 1000 people. There is no need to attack by force, as long as we stick to the spirit of Luan Ji Ling's army!"

"In the end, the rest of the people followed me, flanked General Dianwei, and captured the South Gate!"

Chapter 558

"What, Li Feng North Gate!"

"General, every word of the villain is true, and I dare not speak half a lie. Please order the general to deal with it!"

"Yes, General, what shall we do now?"

"Are we retreating to the inner city?"

"General"

Although the generals around him were all talking, Ji Ling felt dizzy and buzzing in his brain. He couldn't hear a single word of what the others said.

If it was a different time and another opponent, Ji Ling would definitely bring people back to help without saying a word, drive out the people who entered the city, and take back the city gate, but now Ji Ling only feels powerless, and his heart is full of anxiety. is hopeless.

The siege of the city for several months has already caused the morale of the soldiers in the city to be low. Before being able to fight Li Yi, it was completely relying on the city wall and holding his last breath. Once Li Yi gains the advantage, his morale must be low. It's hard to resist Li Yi's front after a thousand miles.

But now that the north gate was broken, Ji Ling knew without thinking that as Li Yi's troops entered the city, the defenders in the city must have surrendered in pieces.

Suddenly, Ji Ling staggered and leaned against the female wall, and the generals and soldiers around him hurried forward to help, fearing that Ji Ling might do something wrong.

Ji Ling waved his hands, stood up against the female wall, and glanced at the people surrounding him in front of him. Their faces were either concerned, confused, or worried. Of course, there were also quite a few people who were thinking What, she even lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.

Ji Ling turned his head slowly again and looked out of the city. At this time, Li Yi's siege troops had completely given up attacking the east gate and began to retreat in line. Obviously, they knew that the north gate had been broken, so No more wasting manpower here.

Ji Ling looked up and sighed, his voice gradually filled with bitterness. He knew that he was not as good as Li Yi, and that the city would be destroyed, but it was just like this after the war started for a long time. How should he face Yuan Shu's entrustment, how could he be worthy of Yuan Shu? The kindness of knowing you?

Ji Ling subconsciously reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist, and exerted a little force. At this moment, a bloody Qu Chang ran up to the top of the city, and staggered towards Ji Ling, wanting to salute, but his feet As soon as he softened, he fell directly to the ground.

Everyone hurried forward to help, but all of them had tense faces, because they had already had a very bad premonition in their hearts.

Sure enough, after seeing the man standing up in front of him, he wiped away his tears and said with a sad face: "General Gao and Huang Zhong are fighting in full swing, and the soldiers and horses from the north gate arrived halfway. Prepare, unexpectedly, they suddenly launched a killer, caught off guard, our department suffered heavy losses, and Ximen was lost!"

Although he had already guessed that such a situation would happen, Ji Ling couldn't help but tremble all over when he heard it, his whole heart was icy cold.

The other generals were also in an uproar when they heard the words, Ximen was also lost, what should they do?

Yang Hong suppressed the fear in his heart, pulled the messenger and asked, "Where is General Gao?"

Although there were many bloodstains on Naqu Chang's face, his face was obviously pale when he heard Yang Hong's question, and then he said in a trembling voice: "Huang Zhong's troops suffered heavy casualties at the west gate. Cut the corpse apart with a knife, and there is no bones left of General Gao!"

"Evil thief!"

Ji Ling couldn't help cursing angrily, but just as he finished speaking, he saw another person rushing into the crowd quickly, and shouted hastily: "General, the south gate is lost, General Liang has surrendered Dianwei!"

"What, why the south gate is also lost!"

"How could General Liang be like this!"

"General, please give me an idea!"

"We, or"

Hearing the news from Ximen just now has already made people's minds shake. Before everyone can calm down, there is also bad news from the South Gate. With such a temperament, even the most stable people can't suppress the panic in their hearts, and some people even panic. Next, regardless of Ji Ling's majesty, they began to whisper about the plan to surrender.

"Shut me all up!"

Suddenly, Ji Ling yelled violently, everyone was startled, and they all shut their mouths.

Panting heavily, Ji Ling glanced at the crowd. For a moment, he really wanted to order those guys who had shaken the morale of the army to be cut down, but he also understood that the morale of the army has actually dissipated now. If he really ordered to kill , it is impossible to say that there will be a mutiny at the east gate immediately.

Suppressing his anger, Ji Ling finally calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Everyone!"

Ji Ling's voice was a little different from usual, with a strange emotion added, and everyone felt it. No matter what happened before, they all looked up at Ji Ling now.

Although it was only two words, it seemed that a lot of strength was used. Ji Ling slowed down, and then continued after a while: "Lost three gates in a row, Shouchun City, I am afraid that the city will be destroyed soon."

When the word "city breaks" came out, Ji Ling felt sour in his heart, but couldn't help but shed tears.

"General!"

"I also ask the general to give an order, and the final general is willing to follow the general to take back the city gate!"

"The last general swears to follow the general to the death!"

Although there are people in the army who are greedy and afraid of death, there is no lack of bloody men. Seeing Ji Ling cry, several people immediately stepped forward to fight, but Ji Ling just waved his hands to these people, and then continued: "My lord Ji has the kindness of knowing you, although Ji is not talented, he also knows that a man should sacrifice his life for righteousness, and at this time of crisis, Ji decided to be loyal to the lord one last time, go back to the inner city to meet him, and send the lord to break through!"

Hearing that, some people present showed firm expressions, obviously they had the same idea as Ji Ling, but there were also people who showed uneasiness. Thinking about whether to do something before Ji Ling gave the order.

Before the atmosphere at the top of the city became weird, Ji Ling's tone suddenly turned low, and said: "Everyone and Ji have been in business for many years. Ji asked himself that he has never been bribed or bullied his subordinates. Although he didn't do much, he basically still It's hard work, so I ask you all to agree to something Ji in the end for the sake of years of glory."

With that said, Ji Ling straightened his armor and bowed to the surrounding soldiers.

Immediately, many people looked at Ji Ling with burning eyes, waiting for his order, but more people's eyes flickered, for fear that Ji Ling would ask everyone to follow him to be loyal to Yuan Shu.

Ji Ling stood up, ignoring everyone's mixed reactions, took a deep breath, and said in a loud voice: "Ji is determined to lead his troops back to the city and protect the Lord to break out of the encirclement. This is a narrow escape from death. Whether you go or not is entirely up to you!"

After a short pause, Ji Ling didn't wait for others to express his opinion, and then continued: "If you don't want to go, Ji will not force you, but I hope you will continue to continue at the east gate for the sake of the past. Stick to it for an hour, so it can be regarded as full of past love."

Hearing what Ji Ling said, many people were obviously relieved, because although many people have already given up the idea of ​​surrender, it does not mean that they are willing to confront Ji Ling, and the current situation is considered the best the result of.

"General Ji, isn't that so?"

Yang Hong couldn't help but open his mouth. He felt that Ji Ling's arrangement was inappropriate. At this time, he should do his best to help Yuan Shu break through. If Ji Ling did this, he would give up thousands of soldiers for nothing.

Ji Ling shook his head at Yang Hong, why didn't he understand the loss of doing so, but he had to do so, because if he forced the order, there would be chaos here immediately.

Ji Ling took a step forward, bowed to Yang Hong, and said, "Yang Changshi, it was not good for defending the city, and we wanted to invite Yang Changshi and the lord to break through, but the situation has changed far beyond expectations, and now we can only invite Yang Changshi Defend the city here, try to delay the time as much as possible, but don't worry about Chang Shi, I predict that Li Yi will definitely not attack the city again, so I will ask Yang Changshi here."

Yang Hong opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He knew in his heart that Ji Ling led his troops back to the inner city to die, and he stayed here to wait for death, so he nodded without any hesitation and said, "Don't worry, general, the east gate will be handed over to me. I just ask the general to tell the lord that Yang Hong would rather die than be a second minister!"

Ji Ling patted Yang Hong's shoulder vigorously, took a last look at him, paused for a moment, then strode forward, and said as he walked, "The one who served the Lord to die, follow me!"

"The final general is willing to die for the lord!"

"The final general is willing to die for the lord!"
