Chapter 347 - Defend the city to the end (1)
Chapter 177
Waves after waves of soldiers were changed. The wounds on Qiu Jinzhi's shoulder were simply bandages, the blade in his hand was already filled with blood, and there were a few cuts on his face.
After a few days of fighting, his wounds were starting to become inflamed.
Ning Shi who was outside the city realized that he had also come across a hard nail. If they couldn't take the city, the people they sent in wouldn't come back. If this went on, he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"It will definitely work. As long as we can endure for one more day, one more day, we'll definitely be able to take down the city. When that time comes, we'll definitely be able to solve this problem. Trust me!"
"We've already lost 300,000 soldiers. For the sake of this city, we still can't defeat them." Ning Shi became more and more wavering. When I return to State Jiang in the future, what weight would I need to use to negotiate conditions with your highness?! " It was no longer necessary to conquer this city. How was he supposed to preserve his own strength? Now, he had already lost more than half of his men. As long as he persisted, he would definitely succeed.
"Flying Dragon City has been in a stalemate for so long, how much resources are inside? After taking down the city? His handicapped soldiers would not be enough to sustain the next battle. "Even if we continue to persevere, what about it?"
It had already been a long time since Ning Shi last met with a dilemma. His three hundred thousand troops attacking the city had yet to overcome it, but it was truly a great shame and humiliation in the history of Ning Shi's battles. He had never met someone like this before, and he felt like a turtle hiding in its shell … There was no point in beating it.
"Qiu Jinzhi, you coward!" Ning Shi was so angry that he sent people to call out at the city gate every day. But it was of no use.
The people in the city would not come out.
After shouting for two days straight, the results were little.
Qiu Jinzhi took this opportunity to send people to quickly count the number of Flying Dragon City, as well as the situation of the disabled soldiers.
"adults, we still have ten thousand soldiers, and a hundred and fifty thousand disabled soldiers …"
"adults, the medicine is insufficient."
"adults …"
Qiu Jinzhi waved his hand indicating him to stop talking. The current situation was not very good, and in the future, there would be situations where he would lack water and food. "Send two thousand soldiers to escort the citizens of the city away, and tell them not to come back." His skin was now much darker, his cheeks sunken except for the undiminished spirit in his eyes.
The soldier became anxious when he heard that, "adults, adding one more soldier means one more power. If you were to directly transfer two thousand soldiers away, how could you contend against Ning Shi outside the city?"
He himself felt that he could not wait for the reinforcements, but he still told every single warrior guarding the city that reinforcements would come. The reason why he was willing to risk his life like that was entirely because the Flying Dragon City was the main road to west capital. The other cities could not relax their vigilance, but the Flying Dragon City could not give up this piece of land. If he gave up, this place would be easy to defend and hard to attack.
"It's fine, I want to turn this into an empty city. Isn't Ning Shi the marshal of State Jiang? I want him to be the marshal of history. " As he said this, his eyes were filled with the determination to die.
"I am in the city. "If you enter the city, you will step over my dead body!" Qiu Jinzhi said.
Now that the commander has said so. As subordinates, they naturally completely obeyed orders.
The battle went on for another day and night.
Qiu Jinzhi had killed more than ten generals of Enemy forces in the shadows of the city wall. Each time — they had to go back and reschedule their men, and then start giving out signal commands. But he could still be killed by Qiu Jinzhi.
The two sides stuck together in this battle.
After a night of fatigue, when Qiu Jinzhi saw Ning Shi's hawk-like eyes searching all over the place, he hid behind a stone wall.
The difference in their strength was still very wide.
"adults Qiu, adults Qiu." A soldier stumbled over.
"Speak." The meaning of his words was very simple.
"I've finished the food and medicine, and I don't have enough."
felt a chill in his heart after hearing these words. Keeping it a secret and stabilizing the morale of the troops, reinforcements might not come anymore. We can't leave, we'll die even if we go back. We might as well die on the battlefield … "How fierce."
As he thought about it, Qiu Jinzhi said to the soldier, "Pass down the order, conserve your strength and rest where you are."
"Yes sir!"
Qiu Jinzhi, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly felt dizzy. He felt his head becoming very heavy, he was very tired … After the soldier had left, the mystery in his head snapped.
"adults Qiu! adults Qiu! " The surrounding soldiers all panicked when they saw Qiu Jinzhi falling to the ground.
