C323 Siege of the City Again?
Hearing that, Chu Dongliu's body trembled, his face revealed shock.
He could not believe that Wang Xiaojian was actually this powerful.
Such a small price to pay for such a huge victory.
This was unbelievable!
Wang Xiaojian brought Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan, the Mengqi, as well as Sunn Yu and Cai Wei. When they arrived at the southern gate, Chu Dongliu and Chu Feiyan were still chatting.
Wang Xiaojian hugged Diaochan, and dismounted with a smile on his face.
Chu Dongliu and Chu Feiyan, father and daughter, had finally finished reminiscing about the old days.
Chu Dongliu looked excited when he saw Wang Xiaojian.
He walked up to Wang Xiaojian, walked up to him, and knelt down on one knee. He said solemnly: "General Lee, please accept Dongliu's bow!"
Wang Xiaojian was stunned, Chu Dongliu actually kneeled down to him, what was going on?
Even though it was a single knee, it was still a formless gift for a prince.
However, he understood that this was Chu Dongliu thanking him.
Wang Xiaojian smiled merrily and helped Chu Dongliu up, saying, "Prince Chu, there is no need to be courteous. This is what I should do. How's the situation with the Sishui City? "
Chu Dongliu was moved, he actually said that this was what he should do.
He was too good.
Recalling back, when Chu Feiyan talked about Wang Xiaojian just now, she was so excited that it seemed like she was talking about her own husband. Chu Dongliu looked at him a few more times.
He was young, handsome, and resourceful.
The more Chu Dongliu saw, the more he found his pleasing to the eye.
He felt that if Chu Feiyan liked Wang Xiaojian, even if Wang Xiaojian had Empress Ying Xiya, he wouldn't mind.
Retracting his emotions, Chu Dongliu turned to Wang Xiaojian and said, "General Lee, Sishui City has a moat, it is easy to defend but hard to attack. Before you came, we used a tactic we couldn't stick to. So, the merchant army did not succeed. "
"However, we have consumed a lot of energy."
"To the east and west, there are Lady Daji and Lady Zhao Jun.
"The north and the south, which I am guarding, have suffered heavy losses."
"The southern side of the city originally had twenty thousand people. "But there's less than eight thousand left."
"Ai, I am incompetent. If you don't come, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for much longer tonight. "
Chu Dongliu sighed, and told Wang Xiaojian, not long ago, the South Sect's caravan was still attacking the city.
At that time, for some reason, the merchant army had retreated.
Now, he knew that the reason for the retreat of the merchant army was because of the unforeseen event in the west gate.
The more than ten thousand soldiers of the Merchant Army were suddenly eaten.
Wang Xiaojian nodded, he did not expect the situation to be so serious. Of the twenty thousand people present, there was less than eight thousand left.
The loss was not a small one!
Wang Xiaojian sighed and comforted his: "Prince Chu, this is not your fault. You can only blame the enemy for coming too quickly."
"Is General Chu at the north gate?"
Wang Xiaojian asked again.
Chu Dongliu held the south door, Daji, and Wang Zhaojun held the two doors respectively.
But now, Wang Xiaojian did not see Chu Han, so he guessed that he was at the north gate.
Chu Dongliu nodded when he heard this, "That's right. The General Lee, Chu Han and General Sunn Miao were guarding the north gate. This time, it's all because of my son's incompetence. If he could stop the merchant army who is heading to Changping City for help, we wouldn't have been reduced to such a state. "So many soldiers won't die in vain …"
As Chu Dongliu spoke, his voice was filled with grief.
The look of remorse and remorse was completely revealed.
Wang Xiaojian frowned, being frank, and said: "Prince Chu, forgive me for my bluntness. With Chu Han's ability, you will not be able to become a general. "
Chu Dongliu was startled, he did not expect Wang Xiaojian to say something like this.
His first reaction was that Wang Xiaojian was bullying Chu Han.
After all, Chu Han had asked Wang Xiaojian to issue a military order back then.
Then, he looked up and saw Wang Xiaojian's clear eyes, without a single thought.
Chu Dongliu blushed, ashamed of thinking such thoughts.
In his eyes, such a noble young man would never do something like that.
Moreover, looking at this matter, Chu Han's actions had indeed disappointed him.
Chu Dongliu sighed, and said: "General Lee, I understand what you mean. Chu Han is indeed lacking experience and training, this time, after I resolve the crisis in my Sishui City, I will reconsider his position. "
"Yes."
Wang Xiaojian nodded.
He had a grudge with Chu Han, but the things he said, were indeed not used to avenging a personal grudge.
If Wang Xiaojian wanted to take revenge, with his strength, he could pinch Chu Han to death with one hand.
In his eyes, Chu Han was just a pig.
Making him a general would only cause the death of more innocent soldiers.
Wang Xiaojian wasn't a soldier, but he knew that these soldiers hoped to stay alive and reunite with their families while protecting their countries, and not die in battle.
Wang Xiaojian's eyes flashed, he looked at Chu Feiyan and said: "General Feiyan, bring along ten thousand soldiers and horses and a crossbow, we will head towards the north gate. Help General Sunn Miao defend the city together. "
"Although the main force of the merchant army is on the South Gate side, we cannot let our guard down. After you go, you must not be able to hold on. Wait until dusk, then you can bring Sunn Miao and Chu Han to head to the city's General's Mansion and discuss your plan of retreating from the enemies. "
"Yes, General Lee, Feiyan understands."
Chu Feiyan nodded.
Her idolization of Wang Xiaojian almost reached the extent of blind worship.
She wasn't angry because Wang Xiaojian had said something bad about Chu Han either, because in her opinion, what Wang Xiaojian had said was the truth.1
After Chu Feiyan received the order, she led her infantry team and quickly headed towards the south gate.
Seeing that, Chu Dongliu was relieved, with Chu Feiyan's ten thousand people joining, the north gate would temporarily be free of problems.
Wang Xiaojian had Cai Wei, Sunn Yu the two generals, and over ten thousand reinforcements from the Xia Country army stand guard at the bottom of the city, helping the defense troops to prepare the tools needed to defend the city.
He brought Wang Zhaojun, Diaochan and the Mengqi with him as they climbed up the city gate together.
The southern gate of the Sishui City was actually not the main gate.
Relatively speaking, the defensive measures here weren't the strongest.
Therefore, the main force of the merchant group's attack was also on this side.
When he was at the city gate, Wang Xiaojian looked far ahead into the distance, to the vast plain in front of him, it was pitch black.
It was an invader from the Shang Country.
They estimated that there were more than 40,000 strong soldiers!
Wang Xiaojian also saw that behind the merchant army, there were many camps, and there were also merchant troops cooking with fire.
They seem to want to fight a long war here.
"General Lee, you just said that you want to discuss …"
Chu Dongliu opened his mouth and said to Wang Xiaojian, he wanted to ask Wang Xiaojian about his plan to retreat.
Just now, he heard from Wang Xiaojian that in the evening, everyone would head to the General's Mansion to discuss a plan to retreat.
However, just as Chu Dongliu's voice fell, another heaven shaking battle cry came from outside the city, causing his body to tremble.
They saw the merchant army rushing over from afar.
"The merchant army is attacking the city again."
Chu Dongliu said anxiously, obviously he was very afraid of the merchant army.
Wang Xiaojian saw the forty thousand strong Merchant Army, with more than ten thousand people riding horses, charging over.
Many of them were equipped with bows and arrows, running ahead of the group. They even carried ladders on their backs, as though they wanted to force their way into the city.
